That's a bummer, but hey... it's not the end of the world.
LOL
Speaking of which, a year ago, you were uttering some
dire prophecies: "Wake up, this is the Festival of Trumpets, it is the end of the age, prepare to meet your God."
"the day of the Lord is fast approaching."
I am concerned about carrying out this conversation here, the whole "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" attitude. That is why I have directed you to my blog on Christian Chat.com Summary of Bible references on the rapture. There are over 1,200 posts there, not all by me, but 99.9% focused on the evidence and where we are, maybe only one poor attempt at "chaff and redirect" by someone.
That said, let me answer this question as succinctly as I can.
End of Age is not the end of the earth, the universe, or life. If you understand "world" as any of those things then calling it the end of the world is an error. If however, you understand world as a satanic system similar to Pharaoh running Egypt, then fine, end of Age = End of World. Satan told Jesus at the beginning of this age that he could give the whole world to Jesus if Jesus would worship him. Jesus refused and so the war to "drain the swamp" began then.
Yes, I have concluded that the Revelation 12 sign was the fulfillment of Trumpets (I go into great detail on my blog, it is an amazing sign and there is very much to learn from it). But just like a sign on the highway that says "NYC 250 miles" this sign is like that. The Festival of Trumpets is ten days before the day of Atonement and we understand that to mean 10 years before the true end of the Age where we learn who is and who is not written in the book of life.
When I say "we" I attempt to provide links to any ministry I find useful, so the blog makes a concerted effort to link in numerous other ministries.
"I'll put this in my calendar and lets see where we are 1 year from now."
So 1 year on, where are we?
The focus of my blog is to answer this question. One major issue was to understand how the calendar is calculated, after finally deciding it was beyond me, throwing my hands up in defeat and asking God for help he led me to two brothers who explained it and I now feel I have a much better understanding from scripture. I provide all the posts on this as well but in short the New Moon is a 2-3 day weekend at the end of every month, when you see the sliver of the New Moon that is the first day of the month, the seventh day, the sabbath is counted from that day (no such thing as "Saturday" so kind of a bummer to all those who thought they were keeping the sabbath holy by keeping Saturday --Saturn's day). Doing this every month has 4 Sabbaths with one long new moon weekend. Second, the first day of the year is always after the Vernal equinox, however, the Bible doesn't word it that way, rather it says the equinox is "the end of the year". Third, seven sabbaths after feast of unleavened bread is not 49 days because you must count two New Moon Sabbaths which would not be two days but most likely five days. So then it is a big mistake to confuse Pentecost which is 50 days with Shavuot which is the day after you count seven sabbaths.
We had two very big signs prior to Shavuot this year, both the Sun and the moon were darkened and the Pacific ocean was turned to blood from the blood moon. That is a fulfillment of prophecy (I go into great detail over all the signs of the various solar and lunar eclipses and they are quite amazing -- this work has been done by others and either I summarize or post links to their videos).
I also learned that the three gospels refer to three groups that get raptured using the basic principle of the first shall be last and the last first. There is a very strong justification for viewing the gospels this way and I go through the verses comparing the three gospels. But the point is that I focus on Luke to see what is going to happen prior to the first rapture and "where are we right now".
There are two really big prophecies given in Luke that appear to take place immediately before the end.
1. We see Jerusalem compassed about with soldiers. However this prophecy should not be confused with the one in Matthew nor should it be confused with other accounts throughout the Bible concerning Armageddon and the rapture of the Jews when the Lord steps down on the Mt. of Olives. This is an event that takes place about seven years before that. There are several prophets who in discussing 9/11 and other events in the US relate the US as having the dichotomy of being both the Great Babylon and also Jerusalem. There is a whole lot we had to dig into on that but suffice it to say that Washington DC being surrounded by troops this year was a fulfillment of prophecy and a great sign concerning the Lord's coming.
2. The other really big one is that there is a war that takes place in heaven and the stars of heaven fall. Remember we began this age with the Lord making it clear to Satan that He would dethrone him from the world and cast him out (the NT version of saying He would drain the swamp). Since the Revelation 12 sign has already taken place that puts us currently in Revelation 12. The term "corona" means crown, and when a babies head appears it is called "crowning". That is were we are right now the baby is about to be born, when this baby is born he will be caught up to heaven and there will no longer be any place found for Satan and his angels and they will be cast out. They are trying to stop the audit, trying to stop investigations into murders and human trafficking, and all that is simply birth pains.
In this analogy I would say the water has already broken and we are now in labor.
