The Bride Groom Cometh!!!!!

It's amazing how close the REALITY of being with Jesus is! So close you may have a checks and balances going on inside of you.....back and forth we go ........."Really!.. now.... could it really be? and then ..........Excited nervousness realizing we could stand before our Lord........... then............"NO WAY he will tarry. It can't be now. No one knows the day or hour not even Jesus" ...........then......." it is so possible. Look at all the signs!" Back and forth we go.



Nevertheless, if you are WATCHING for Jesus as Jesus has commanded (Luke 12:38, Matthew 26:40, Matthew 25:13, Mark 13:34, Galatians 6:1, etc) you probably have an amazing sense that this could very well be the last few ________ we are in these tents. Filling the blank with "years", "months", or "days" causes people to have different reactions, BUT is it really CRAZY to say that we can't rule out days and months, especially if you are watching for Jesus?


Are you aware of how things are merging and how God's moeds (appointed times / Feast Days) work according to HIS timeline, and how he speaks to us through times and seasons, the stars, the moon, the sun? Do you see the geopolitical and religious fronts imploding and standing against Israel? Do you realize that that there is a huge gap between the Bride of Christ and the False Apostate Church? Do you knoe the parable of the good fish and bad fish? Can you factor in the moral decline of the world and its universal cry for a false peace to save it rather then Jesus Christ Himself? Do you know the UN is voting Sept 20 on something very important? Do you know Sept 21 is world "peace day"? Can you discern the times like the Sons of Issachar did in 1 Chronicles 12:32? Do you know the sign in Rev 12 is being fulfilled Sept 30th? Do you know The Feast of Trumpets is Sept 29th or 30th? Can you discern the jubilee years of Israel? do you know...............that there are even more things on this earth and in the heavens and in the spiritual realm aligning that if you knew you would be left stunned and amazed and have a hard time believing?


As we know, our God is a God of order, he is a God who reveals his mysteries to those who watch and seek for him. As the Bride of Christ, we believe the rapture could happen anytime right? We say this and agree as most Born Again Christians do, but interestingly not all Born Again Christians seek Jesus the same, not all are fully open or comfortable with all that Jesus wants to give them in scripture. I believe Jesus wants us to know his mysteries ..........which is simply an outcome of having intimacy with him. He is so gracious and kind and merciful to invite us to seek him in a special way as shown in Jeremiah 33:3 , and we see references throughout the word that mysteries can be known, seasons can be understood, times can be discerned: Romans 11:25, Eph 5:32, Col 1:26, Eph 3:3,4, Rev 10:7, Dan 2:19, 1 Thess 5:2,4 etc.


When I learned that the Feast of Trumptets is actually known as "The Feast that no one knows the day or the hour of its arrival" I was amazed. It left me asking, "Do we really know what Jesus was refering to in Mark 13:32 and Matthew 24:36?". Was he alluding to something more? I would never say that a certain date is when Jesus is coming or the rapture is happening. But I would definitly say that we can know the season of his coming for us in connection to Moeds, signs in the heavens, and on earth, according to Matthew 24. We are indeed in that season now! The time of the Bride's Harpazo is emminant, the time of Jacob's trouble is emminant. Things are not how they have always been! Iran has never been in alliance with Russia as they are today, for example. Triads and Tetrads of Lunar eclipses and Solar eclipses are declaring God's Glory. Consider that Israel and the Nations are ripe for judgement.


Dear family in Christ, don't rule out that it could possibly be days and months for our Harpazo (Rapture) unto Christ!


Consider that:


Peter Rebukes those who scoff at the coming of the Lord whether it be the Rapture of the Church or the Day of the Lord.


1This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.8But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,a not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodiesb will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.c11Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:1-13


God keeps some things hidden until they are needed to be known.


"And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand." Dan 12:9-10"


"...who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:5"


"For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 1 Thessalonians 5:2,4",


"Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:2"


Some details in scripture have not made sense until enough revelation occurred. For instance, Jesus' words in Matthew 24 (and Luke 17) about some people being taken and others left could not be understood from the time the concept of the Rapture was forgotten in the fourth century until it was revealed again in the latter days.


"For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took [Airo - remove] them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken [Paralambano - take to join with a companion] and the other left [Aphiemi - abandon, disregard, divorce]. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken [Paralambano] and the other left [Aphiemi]. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:39-44"


Jesus rebuked the religious leaders who had the knowledge of the scriptures for not knowing the time of His first visitation or the signs of the times. He would not have rebuked them for something they could not have known.


"Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation." Luke 19:41-44"


1And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2He answered them,a “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed. Matthew 16: 1-4


Will He rebuke believers for not knowing the time of His second coming and for not being trimmed with Oil in their lamps? You can count on it!


1Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers,a you have no need to have anything written to you. 2For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5For you are all childrenb of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. 7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. 8But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10
38Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Mark 14:38


1“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lampsa and went to meet the bridegroom.b 2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ 10And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour. Matthew 25:1-13


So many signs are aligning or are already aligned that a midnight cry is about to sound (we do not know if it is days, months, or years out) but it is very possible it could be days and your lamps best be trimmed with oil. It is the Lord Jesus himself who warned us to be ready. How do you get ready? Repent of your sins. Stop sinning intentionally! When you sin repent immediately. Seek Jesus' Face. Fix your eyes on Jesus.


If the Lord tarries (he does not wish that any shoudl perish but that all come to him through Jesus Christ), we will continue to become more excited for him, share the gospel with the lost and stand firm amidst persecution and troubling times. We will see amazing things and NOT BE SHAKEN. We will be able to discern the evil that's been twisted into "good" . Praise God! We will be sovereignly provided for by God. We will share our belongings, our homes, we will meet often together singing, praying and having communion together. We might die together in these bodies as we testify to Christ in a hostile world toward Christ. We are not destined for God's wrath and that fact alone strengthens our faith that the rapture is eminant.


Understand that WATCHING for Jesus is more of a heart condition that is excited to be with him and for others to be with him for eternity.

God Bless you,
