2009 Rapture Watchman Article

First I just want to make a Super Important Point, and that is, that there is a Known Time of Jesus Return.

Daniel 9:27 says The Anti-Christ will confirm a Covenant With Israel and Others ( The Many ) for one week - which is Biblical Language that equals 7 Years. This is the 70th and Final Week of Daniel's 70 Weeks Prophecy, which is Perhaps the Greatest Prophecy in The Bible.

The Archangel Gabriel was even held back for 27 Days by "The Prince of Persia" ( A Bad Angel - probably Satan ) in trying to relay this Prophecy/Information to Daniel. That is how Significant this Prophecy is.

The Prophecy when it is ful-filled wraps up Human History - Bringing in The End of The World and The Future With God!

The Reason the Prophecy is super important in regards to the Rapture, is because at the End of The 70th Week of The 70 Weeks Prophecy - Jesus Returns at the Battle of Armageddon.

This means that we know exactly when Jesus will Return - A Known Time - 7 Years from the Confirmation of a Peace Deal by the Anti-Christ, With Israel and Others.

Also, you can figure out the Known Time of Jesus Return by the number given in Scripture that says there will be 1,260 Days from - The Abomination of Desolation - which is the Anti-Christ Entering a Newly Built Jewish Temple in Israel/Jerusalem and claiming himself to be God.

So from the two Truths above, a person would know the Exact Day Jesus Returns to Earth - 1,260 Days from The Anti-Christ's Delusion of proclaiming himself God in a to be built future Jewish Temple or 7 Years from the Peace Treaty confirmed by the Anti-Chirst with Israel & Others: (Daniel's 70 Weeks Prophecy)

The Scriptures talk about another Return of Jesus, that is Not Known, a Return that happens as a Surprise, A Return that is likened as unto a thief striking.

Here's a Scripture verse which can't be said any plainer in describing the Rapture -- From Matthew 24:44

⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

The Parable of The Ten Virgins is Perhaps the Greatest Depiction in The Bible of Proclaiming The Truth of The Rapture.

You have to ask yourself, why did Jesus teach this Parable? It had to be because He was relaying an Intimate Truth about His Return as a Bridegroom for His Beloved - His Bride, The Church.

The Parable of The Ten Virgins Parallels the Ancient Jewish Wedding Feast, of when the Groom would arrive at an Un-announced time to get his Bride. The Groom didn't even know when he was going to arrive either, believe it or not, because it would be the Father who would tell the Son when to go to get the Bride.

That's why Jesus said, no one knows the day and hour - only my Father in Heaven.

The Rapture/The Parable of The Ten Virgins/The Jewish Wedding also has a strong connection to an Old Testament Jewish Feast called the Feast of Trumpets.

5	The Feast of Trumpets	The Rapture - The Hidden Day - The Feast of Trumpets always Begins at an Unknown time.
6	Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)	Doomsday for the Wicked - The Tribulation - Jesus Returns at Armageddom
7	Feasts of Tabernacles	The 1,000 Year Millennial Reign of Jesus.

Eye Has not seen, nor ear has heard, nor has it entered the Heart of Man, the things God has Prepared for those that Love Him.

Here is The Rapture Too:

The Focus of The Beginning of This Chapter is on: Tribulation & Jesus Return at Armageddon

Matthew 24 (King James Version)

Matthew 24

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.(The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (The Tribulation - Return at Armageddon)

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. (Return at Armageddon)

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Now The Focus Shifts To The Rapture

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. (The Rapture)

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (The Rapture)

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (The Rapture)

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (The Rapture)

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (The Rapture)

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. (The Rapture)

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. (The Rapture)

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. (The Rapture)

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. (The Millennium)

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, (The Rapture)

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25 (King James Version)

Matthew 25:1-13 (The Rapture)

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
