Rapture
Brings
Desolation
Day of the Rapture as per how Scriptures reveal them.
Job 5: 19 He shall deliver you in six troubles, Deliver - Hebrew Natsal - snatch away same as Harpazo - Greek
Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you. In - Hebrew - beah - at the entrance to
20 In famine He shall redeem you from death, Six troubles - Hebrew - tsarah - tightness, tribulation, adversity,
And in war from the power of the sword. Jacob’s Trouble Jeremiah 30:7
21 You shall be hidden (RAPTURE) from the scourge of the tongue,
And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 You shall laugh at destruction and famine,
And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field,
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your tent is in peace;
You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.
So we can see here that we will be delivered before (at the entrance to) the time of Jacob’s Trouble. Six yes seven is a
Hebrew idiom, so we can say that the 7 year tribulation will not touch us. This was prophecied in Job, the oldest book of
the Bible (Canon).
We can also see here in verse 24 how Jesus was speaking to His disciples in John 14:1
1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions;
(dwelling) if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know,
and the way you know.”
Tent = physical body - 2 Peter 1: 12 For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though
you know and are established in the present truth. 13 Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by
reminding you, 14 knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 15 Moreover I
will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.
Dwelling = Jesus has prepared a place - if we really think about this, God knew who would believe in Jesus from the
beginning so Jesus has been preparing a place for us from the beginning!
Now we will look to prophecy by Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Hosea, Zachariah and how they tie to
Revelation.
Daniel 9: 24 “Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make
an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.
25 “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until
Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall,
Even in troublesome times.
26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off,(17x
yik·kā·rê
is used which means to reject one’s name in
a community, which is what happened to Jesus in Nazareth in the synagogue around Passover. His own did not receive
Him and put Him out for saying He was the Son of God.) but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to
come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;(7 years, shimeta) But in the middle of the week He shall
bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the
consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”
There is a clear timing order here: 1.Jesus is cut off, 2. then Rapture happens which causes the desolations, 3. then
Anti-Christ confirms covenant that is for 7yrs and 4. halfway he breaks that covenant!
The end of it shall be with a flood, (the end is the end of Disspensation of Grace)
And till the end of the war desolations are determined. The war started October 7, 2023 which lines up with
Psalm 83. Israel has been at war now for over a year with the people groups mentioned in Psalm 83. Amos
1:2 - 2:16 speaks to the judgements that will come upon these groups. They are also mentioned in Jeremiah
47, 48, 49, and 50, then again in Ezekiel 25 - 32.
Before I go any further, I must mention
Ecclesiastes 1: 9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is
nothing new under the sun.
These judgements did happen before and they are going to be fully fulfilled in Jacob’s Trouble, 70th week of
Daniel, 7 yr Tribulation.
The key word we have to look at is “DESOLATION” Daniel 9:26 “desolations are determined”. The Rapture is
where the desolations are fulfilled upon these people groups.
Now I am going to share the scriptures that back this up, starting in
Isaiah 17: 9
👉
In that day
👈
his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough (In that day = Rapture)
And an uppermost branch, Which they left because of the children of Israel; And there will be
👉
desolation.
👈
Isaiah 13 speaks to the Babylon, but again Ecclesiastes 1:9!
Isaiah 13: 9 Behold,
👉
the day of the LORD comes,
👈
(70th week of Daniel, Jacob’s Trouble, Tribulation,
but starts with Rapture kicking things off) Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate;
And He will destroy its sinners from it.
Why will things be Desolate? Isaiah 13 gives us another hint - 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, And
👉
the earth will move out of her place,
👈
In the wrath of the LORD of hosts And in the day of His fierce
anger. EARTHQUAKES, VOLCANOS, TECTONIC PLATES SHIFTING
Where in Revelation do we see this? Seal 6 Revelation 6: 12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and
behold,
👉
there was a great earthquake
👈
; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became like blood.
👉
(Scientifically, when the ashes from a volcano erupts high enough into the
atmosphere, it causes the sackcloth blackening of the Sun and the Moon does look Blood Red)
👈
13
And the stars of heaven (Revelation 12:4, interpreted as fallen angels) fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its
late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14
👉
Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up,
👈
(RAPTURE WINDOW) and
👉
every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
👈
(Desolation) 15 And
the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every
free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and
rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17
For
👉
the great day of His wrath has come
👈
, and who is able to stand?”
Isaiah 24: 1 Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes it waste,
Distorts its surface (shifting of the tectonic plates, we can see that chapter 24 is speaking to the Day of the
Lord and Judgement on the wicked of the Earth!)
And scatters abroad its inhabitants. Right here we see the fleeing away as described in Isaiah 17:13!
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
But God will rebuke them (this is the Rapture, “will rebuke” is Hebrew - to cry out - the Greek equivalent is
in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 “shout” in Greek means Arousing outcry ) and
👉
they will flee far away,
👈
(this is
also spoken in Daniel 11: 9 “Also the king of the North [people against Israel] shall come to the kingdom of
the king of the South, [Israel] but
👉
shall return
👈
to his own land.)
And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the
👉
whirlwind.
👈
(Psalm 83: 15 So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten
them with Your storm. Hebrew word for tempest means whirlwind and the first mention of this word is in 2
Kings 2: 1 And it came to pass, when the LORD was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that
Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. Elijah is Raptured in the whirlwind!)
Isaiah 24: 17 Fear and the pit and the snare Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 And it shall be That he who flees from the noise of the fear Shall fall into the pit, And he who comes up from
the midst of the pit Shall be caught in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, (the window in Heaven
is open at the Rapture)
👉
And the foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 The earth is violently broken, The earth is split open, The earth is shaken exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard,
And shall totter like a hut;
👈
(again, scriptures prove that there is going to be devastation and Desolation on
the earth!) Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again.
Take Refuge from the Coming Judgment
Isaiah 26: 19 Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell
in dust (those who died in Christ 1 Thessalonians 4:13); For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth
shall cast out the dead.
20 Come, my people, enter your chambers, (RAPTURE) And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it
were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. (TRIBULATION, JACOB’S TROUBLE)
21 For behold, the LORD comes out of His place
👉
To punish
👈
the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain.
Isaiah 27:1
👉
In that day the LORD
👈
with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will
👉
punish
👈
(We see this in Zephaniah 1: 7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD; For the day of the
LORD is at hand, For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has invited His guests. 8 “And it shall be,
👉
In the
day of the LORD’s sacrifice,[Nisan 14] That I will punish
👈
the princes[we see who the princes are in Daniel
10: 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, also Prince of Greece] and the
king’s[SATAN] children, And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.[Nephalim] 9 In the same day I
👉
will
punish
👈
All those who leap over the threshold, Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.)
Leviathan the fleeing serpent,(SATAN) Leviathan that twisted serpent; And He will slay the reptile that is in the
sea.
Who are Satan’s children according to Scriptures? Ephesians 2: 1 And you He made alive, who were dead in
trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of
the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once
conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by
nature children of wrath, just as the others.
See here in just these verses how the timing of the Rapture and the punishment are connected!
Punish Satan is cast out as we go up! There are more scriptures that talk about this but I will leave it here!
To recap let’s put this in order -
Damascus in Isaiah 17:1 ruins because of nations rushing Israel
Isaiah 17:13 God rebukes with the Rapture so to make the nations flee - this you see in Daniel 11:9-13
Isaiah 17:14 is the event of the Rapture explained with the connection to Enoch - I’ll expound upon that later!
Daniel 11: 9 “Also the king of the North (the enemies of Israel) shall come to the kingdom of the king of
the South, but shall return to his own land. 10 However his sons shall stir up strife, and assemble a
multitude of great forces; and one shall certainly come and overwhelm and pass through; then he shall
return to his fortress and stir up strife.
11 “And the king of the South (Israel) shall be moved with rage, and go out and fight with him, with the
king of the North, who shall muster a great multitude;
👉
but the multitude shall be given into the hand of
his enemy.
👈
(the enemy of king of the North [Iran, Russia, Turkey, etc.] is none other than God
Himself! Satan hates God and influences the King of the North)
12 When he has taken away the multitude, his heart will be lifted up; and he will cast down tens of
thousands,
👉
but he will not prevail.
👈
13 For the king of the North will return and muster a multitude
greater than the former,
👉
and shall certainly come at the end of some years (last part of the Tribulation)
with a great army and much equipment.(This is the battle of Armageddon spoken of in Ezekiel 38,39!)
👈
We see this same wording in Revelation 12: 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels
fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8
👉
but they did not prevail,
👈
(Daniel
11:12) nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
So you see that Satan is cast out at the same time Isaiah 17:13 and Zephaniah 1:7,8 are prophesying
about!
So back to Isaiah 17: 14 Then behold, at eventide, trouble! (Hebrew- Ballahah -dreadful event Psalm 73)
And before the morning, he is no more.
This is the portion of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who rob us.
He is no more -
H369 ayin - nought -
I encourage you to read the whole chapter!
Psalm 73:18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.
19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! (The Greek equivalent - 1 Corinthians
15:52) They are utterly consumed with terrors. (Hebrew - Ballahah - dreadful event)
1 Corinthians 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
We see the connection to the RAPTURE and events in Revelation now in these Scriptures! Genesis 5:24,
Isaiah 17:14, 1 Corinthians 15:52, Psalm 73:19.
In Daniel 10: 21 But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against
these, except Michael your prince. Daniel 12: 1 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the
👉
sons of your people
👈
(Israel today); And there shall be a
time of trouble(Jacob’s Trouble), Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time.
(Tribulation) Revelation 12:7 Michael and his angels! The timing is clear when we look, it is at the
RAPTURE!
30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.
show wonders in the heavens - Sun X-flares, auroras, wild cloud formations,
even the spiritual signs of UFOs
In the earth - giant cracks forming in the continents, very large sink holes, pole
shift, anomalies off the coast of Antarctica, etc.
Blood - from war explosions of Nuclear weapons
Fire - from weapons, natural fires, volcanoes
Pillars of smoke - from mushroom clouds, volcanoes erupting
Sun into darkness and Moon into blood?
BEFORE THE COMING OF THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD!
Joel 2:30 is also showing us a timing! We will see something huge happening
just before the RAPTURE window is opened and we get changed in a moment!
Ezekiel 38 also gives us a timing of the RAPTURE!
Ezekiel 38: 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince (again we see
Scripture helping interpret Scripture, Daniel 10:13) of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3
and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and
Tubal.
Gog then is clearly Satan, Chief Prince, over the other princes that influence the world enemy’s of Israel!
They are given orders to prepare and guard the other alliances! Ezekiel 38: 7 “Prepare yourself and be ready,
you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them.
Does this not sound like the alliances that Iran has with Russia, China, North Korea and the proxies all around
Israel and Turkey is starting to align with them! When did this start? 2022! So where is the RAPTURE?
Ezekiel 38: 8 After many days you will be visited.(RAPTURE) In the latter years (last part of the Tribulation)
you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the
mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them
dwell safely.
This word “visited” is used only twice! Isaiah 29:5,6
Isaiah 29: 5 “Moreover the multitude of your foes Shall be like fine dust, And the multitude of the terrible ones (this
speaks to the Chaldeans, a very wicked people, USA Mystery Babylon) Like chaff that passes away; Yes, it shall
be in an instant (Mark 13: 32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,
but only the Father. 33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 It is like a man going
to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the
doorkeeper to watch. 35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the
evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you
sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”) , suddenly.(Acts 16: 26 Suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and
everyone’s chains were loosed. Paul and Silas)
6 You will be punished (Same word visited in Ezekiel 38:8) by the LORD of hosts With thunder and earthquake
and great noise, With storm and tempest (whirlwind RAPTURE) And the flame of devouring fire.
Interesting that these two verses are speaking to the Day of the Lord and more specifically the RAPTURE, which I
have shown to be connected to Isaiah 17:13,14 and Mark 13:36 !
