“But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:4
What happened???
September 27, 2025 – Gregorian
(Note: this is an update to the Exodus 2025 article below. Though it is a follow-up, I am adding it to the top because of its importance.)
In light of September 23rd and 24th (Feast of Trumpets) passing without the “Blessed hope”; rapture occurring, I am going to address the topic from an angle that we who are looking for it, should have seen.
There are a couple of verses in the bible I would like to bring to your attention.
But, before I get into them, I remind you that the Word of God does not come back void. “Let God be true, but every man a liar”.
Regarding Feast of Trumpets:
Leviticus 23:24 – “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the FIRST DAY of the SEVENTH MONTH you are to have a day of sabbath rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.”
Psalm 81:3-4 – “Blow the trumpet at the NEW MOON, at the FULL MOON, on our feast day. For it is a statute for Israel, a rule of the God of Jacob.”
The Jews just celebrated the Feast of Trumpets on Sept 23, 24, but then also call it “Rosh Hoshanna” which is their New Year… and mark it by the spotting of the first sliver of the cressent moon.
Wait, what?!! …I thought we just read that the Feast of Trumpets is the first day of the seventh month, and that the first day of the month is marked by a FULL MOON.
I think Israel/Jews might have yet another crucial topic wrong here.
Hmmm, is it possible that they/we are celebrating the Feast of Trumpets on the wrong day? And how could this be possible?
Has the calendar been changed?
As a matter of fact, in 1582 Catholic Pope Gregory XIII changed the calendar.
He adjusted it by removing 10 days to correct inconsistancies in the Julian calendar (over time we are now off by 13 days).
In October of 1582 the days go from the 4th, to the 15th. The 5th through the 14 were just erased from the month!
It was the Julian calendar that was in use when Jesus walked the earth. Maybe we should be looking at that calendar.
To convert to the Julian calendar we add the 13 days back in to land on the true Sept 23, 24… which happens to be the Gregorian days of Oct 7, 8.
And what do you know?!… it just so happens to be that the 7th is a FULL MOON! Interesting.

It appears that brother Joshua’s word regarding ‘the exodus’ (rapture) from the Lord is still in viable.
He has just done another interview post Sept 23, 24, and he stands firm by his statment that Jesus indeed appeared to him, giving him that message (note: no calendar specified).

Do you believe that the Lord is sovereign?
“Surely the SOVEREIGN LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.”
This could be exactly what has happened.
The amount of mockers and scoffers, especially from those who call themselves Christian, is amazing and shameful.
You revile those who search detailed scriptures & look for the promised coming of the Lord.
We are given markers, told to look for that day, and that we should encourage each other as we recognize the day approaching.
In my prayer time, the Lord led me to a passage that spoke directly to me regarding this whole situation:
Zephaniah 3:18-20 “I will gather those of you who mourn for the festival, so that you will no longer suffer reproach. Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. At that time I will bring you in, at the time when I gather you together; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,” says the Lord.”
Amen! That sounds a lot like vindication!
Matthew 25:5 – “As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.” … He told us he would be delayed!
Delyaed in only as we expected, however, the Lord is exact on his appointed time.
I believe this is all by his divine design. The rapture talk has gone worldwide viral and even more so as scoffers make a big deal about the day passing.
2 Peter 3:9 – “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
Ezekiel 12:28 – “Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God.”
A word of caution to those mocking and doubting.
Is that the camp you wish to align yourself in?
God instituted HIS feast days. They are Holy Convocations; Appointed Times.
Could celebrating them on the wrong days be in part why God hates the Israelites feast days?
Amos 5:21-23 – “I hate, I despise YOUR feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings,
I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.”
The Lord is going to do something that will bring the Jews to jealousy.
Deuteronomy 32:21 – “They have made me jealous with what is no god; they have provoked me to anger with their idols.
So I will make them jealous with those who are no people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.”
Romans 10:19 – “But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry.”
Romans 11:11 – “So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.”
Are the Jews jealous of the Christians now?
Not at all, they think we are foolish. So something will happen to make them realize ‘salvation has come to the Gentiles’… Rapture, baby!
Meanwhile: since Sept 23, 24 did you notice all of the prophetic pieces aligning?
UN ‘peace and security’ meeting and voting to divide the land of Israel… Trump just released a 21 point plan for peace, which Hamas has agreed to.
US has called for an emergency meeting ordering 800 military generals ordered to report to.
UK just announced in the ‘Global Progress Action’ meeting that is making ‘Digital ID‘ mandatory to be employed in the UK.
In closing this update, I reaffirm that we do not place our trust in a date or the word of man, but rather the word of God, His son Jesus of Nazareth.
We shall see him soon.
With love in Christ,
Michael.
Exodus 2025?
Feast of Trumpets, Day of The Lord, and the Signs of the Times.
This page is dedicated to the concept of the ‘rapture’ and the events surrounding its timing.
The Lord has put the study of end times on my heart. I believe He has made me for such a time as this. I must follow my convictions and speak speak boldly.
We are told that the Day of the Lord is going to take place.
We know that day is coming… I feel that it is upon us.
Yes, I believe that the hour is at hand, and I feel that I am supposed to share this message with as many as who will listen. I am not setting a date. I am drawing conclusions from what I read & observe and saying “this is a high watch time”. I hope to wake up sleeping, lukewarm Christians and promote genuine repentance & whole-hearted seeking of the face of Jesus.
I do feel that America is “Mystery Babylon” and the events of its destruction are tied closely to the rapture, as His bride is not appointed for wrath. “Come out of her my people”
This is my “blowing of the trumpet” to all who hear.
Ezekiel 33:6 – “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the horn to warn the people, and the sword comes and takes away a life, then that one will be taken away in his iniquity, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.”
What is the Rapture?
The rapture is the idea within the bible that refers to the event in which Christians believe that Jesus the messiah will supernaturally remove his followers from the earth to be with him forevermore. The timing of this event is debated by believers and theological scholars alike. There are three main views:
-
- Pre-tribulation
- mid-tribulation
- post-tribulation.
The pre-tribulation camp believes that this event happens prior to the Lord pouring out judgements escalating in severity in a final effort to call the wicked unto repentance, and to judge those who harden their hearts, refusing to turn from their evil ways.
The mid-tribulation believers make their case that this event happens at some point midway during the final seven years; the time I am referring to as the tribulation (aka ‘Daniel’s 70th week’ – outlined in Daniel 9:24-27), with the final three and a half years known as the ‘great tribulation’ or ‘time of Jacob’s trouble’.
The post-tribulation believers make the claim that the rapture is the very last event to happen, after all of the judgement has been poured out and is included as part of the physical return of Jesus to reign on the earth.
Even among these views there is much debate about the specifics and even some who believe that all of these things are just allegory or have even happened already. I am not going to get into these last views at this time.
“The word rapture is not even in the bible“
1 Thessalonians 4:17 – “Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.”
As this section of the bible was originally authored in Greek, “Caught up” is the English expression for Harpazō (ἁρπάζω) a Greek verb meaning “to seize,” “to snatch,” or “to take away by force,” often with a sense of urgency or supernatural intervention. The Latin form Raptio or verb Rapio is where we get the word ‘Rapture’… so yes, the word is in the bible, but in its Greek form.
Why are we concerned with this?
As a follower of Jesus, there is nothing more that we should desire than to be with the one who loved us so deeply while at our worst; to the very extent that he was willing to bear our punishment for sin, and rescue us from the eternal flame of hell, just so that we could be with him. Yes, I eagerly desire to be with him and look forward to the rapture with all of my heart. If you believe Jesus is your savior, then you should too…
2 Timothy 4:8 – “Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”
The bible is full of prophecy in both the old and new testements. Many have been fulfilled, thus proving it was written from outside the realm of time. A property possessed by only God Himself.
Isaiah 46:10 – “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'”
There is much to be said about what remains, and what is yet to come is quite significant.
Would you have a greater sense of urgency if you knew Jesus was days away from taking His bride from the earth and initiating the tribulation?
What about all of your unsaved loved ones and those who will be left to face the judgement of the Lord?
“the day of the LORD is coming”
Isaiah 13:9
“See, the day of the LORD is coming —a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger— to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it.”
Is He at the door?
There is an increasing number of followers of Jesus that believe God is on the verge of sending His son to rapture His bride and begin the 70th week of Daniel to judge the wicked and to restore the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. Let me first establish that I do not believe in ‘Replacement Theology’. The Jews are God’s people, His first love, and all evidence supports that they are the main focus in the end times. That being said, He does deal harshly with them in their stubborness, and has declared a spiritual blindness on them for not recognizing Jesus as their promised messiah.
John 9:39-40 – Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”.
They knew he was talking about them. This concept is further confirmed in Romans 11:7-10 – “What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened, as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.” And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them. May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
This was done so that salvation should be granted to the gentiles. I encourage you to read the entire chapter of Romans 11 for deeper understanding on this topic.
I love Israel and her people. I will bless Israel as it is declared by God in Genesis 12:3 – “I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you”. I pray for them often and truly wish that they could see that Jesus IS the promised one they have been waiting for. Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 are clear as day, among other passages and hidden codes in scripture (look into the names in the geneology of Adam to Noah in Genesis 5).
So what am I talking about when I say that Daniel’s 70th week is about to begin? If you do not understand Daniel’s 70th week there are many commentaries you can look up. That is not my focus here other than to say that there are 70 ‘weeks of years’ of history declared for Israel and after the 69th there is a large gap, where the gospel message is sent forth… then the final week of years will resume. This time period is reserved for judgement upon the wicked earth dwellers and for the restoration of Israel as His beloved. This is commonly known as “Daniel’s 70th week”.
There have been some significant things brought to light recently. I am sharing some of these things to consider in this article as well as some video urls at the end.
This calls for wisdom and discernment. Listen and test the spirits. Hold fast to that which is good. I am just sharing some ideas here and I am completely open to corrections from the Lord.
I first would like to establish and remind you of a few declarations and important exhortations from the Word of God.
We are instructed by Luke (who is believed to have authored the book of Acts), the companion of Paul the apostle, to be like the Bereans and receive a message eagerly, but then to see if scripture confirms it.
Acts 17:11 – “Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”
1 John 4 – “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
Consider these things before writing them off as nonsense. Proverbs 18:13 – “If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.”
Proverbs 25:2 – “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.”
God creates mysteries, and it is a reward for the diligent who dig for the truth. Jesus spoke in parables. He wants us to dive deep. This is also to confuse the ‘wise’ and yet He reveals it to the “simple”.
The bible is not written to shatter disbelief, but rather confirm truths for the faithful who love His word. 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” You take the step of faith first, then He reveals himself to you.
Are we to know His plans?
Why would He give us very specific details about the ‘end times’ if it were NOT so?
Will the Lord warn His people before doing something significant? The bible tells us He does.
Amos 3:7 – “Surely the Sovereign LORD does NOTHING without revealing his plan to His servants the prophets.”
Acts 2:17 – “And IN THE LAST DAYS it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;”
Are we in that time where He promised He would ‘pour out His spirit’?
If so, then the Lord IS pouring out His spirit, calling to His bride to “wake up”!
Daniel 12:4 – “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
Daniel 12:10 – “Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly.
And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.”
1 Thessalonians 5:4 – “But you, brothers and sisters, ARE NOT IN DARKNESS so that this day should surprise you like a thief.”
Hebrews 10:25 – “Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
These versus indicate that He WILL tell us, and we will NOT be surprised, so we obviously should ‘see the Day approaching’. It could very well be that prophecy is being unsealed before our very eyes… It indeed appears to me that this is happening NOW.
A major key to understanding where we are in the prophetic timeline is a clue found in 2 Peter 3:8 – “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing: that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” If we apply the ‘thousand years for a day’ concept to the timeline of human history we discover some very interesting insights.
Isaiah 46:10 – “declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’”
Prophecy is an attribute that belongs to God. All throughout scripture He reveals His plan to us.
Maybe God HAS told us the end from the very beginning…
In Genesis we receive the creation account. And, what if each day of creation represents a correlation one thousand years for a total of six thousand years of history given to mankind just as mentioned in 2 Peter, with the last day being the Sabbath day of rest – the Millennial reign of Christ. Let’s take a look:
Day one – Light and Darkness separated = knowledge of good & evil separated in the heart of man.
Day two – Earth covered in water & separated = Flood waters cover the earth and Noah was separated.
Day three – Land & Seed bearing fruit = Abraham’s seed promised land & Israel planted in that promised land.
Day four – Sun is given as greater light = Son is given as the light John 12:46; Malachi 4:2 “sun of righteousness”.
Day five – Birds & Fish = Holy Spirit as a Dove & Disciples become “fishers of men” – Gospel goes forth.
Day six – Man created & told to multiply = Population of man increased exponentially.
Day seven – God rested & The Sabbath ordained = The Millennial reign of Christ.
It looks like each thousand years of history lines up pretty close to the days of creation account.
This concept would explain this verse a little better:
Genesis 2:17 – “but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the DAY that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Adam did not die the day he ate of it. Did God lie? No, Hebrews 6:18 says that is impossible. The bible says Adam lived to be 930 years old, so we see it WAS within a prophetic day.
I believe God worded it like that as a clue.
This begs the question, ‘where are we now?
If Jesus, the ‘sun of rightousness‘, came in the four thousandth year timeframe (4th day) and it has been two thousand years (2 days) since His resurrection from the grave, then that would put us near the end of the sixth day. So then we look for the year of the resurrection for more accuracy, with most believing it to be between the years of 30-33. I believe it to be 32 for reasons explained later; mainly how the day counts line up with the feast days of the Lord, and the timeline of Israel.
Is there any scripture that supports this?
Hosea 6:2 – “After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.”
Ever wonder why after Lazarus died, Jesus waited ‘2 days’ to raise him?
Maybe there are more markers to tell us where we are.
We are told the age of a generation in Psalm 90:10 – “The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.”
There is a clue in the birth of Israel becoming a nation May 14, 1948, as prophecy fulfilled in Ezekiel 37:11-14, Amos 9:14-15, and Jeremiah 16:15. Israel is known as the “fig tree” here:
Matthew 24:32-33 – “Now learn this lesson from the FIG TREE: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.”
In verse 34 Jesus makes a curious statement about “This generation”: “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.”
Jesus had just given a list of signs to look for, to include a soon coming destruction of the temple (which happened in 70AD), and signs that indicate the ‘end of the age’.
Well the generation he was talking to indeed witnessed the destruction of the temple and so what about the generation that witnessed the sprouting of the fig tree? This generation is still here. Israel is 77 years old in 2025. I suspect we are about to see some prophecies come to pass very shortly.
Let’s think about the end of the 6th day at this point and see if it fits here in the prophetic timeline. For the idea I am presenting here, I am saying that 2032 will be the end of the 6th day (2000 years since the resurrection of Jesus) and the end of the age. We have to factor in Daniel’s 70th week into this equation. It is a ‘week’ of seven years that God tells us He is going to judge the nations and send His son Jesus the messiah to rescue & redeem Israel and physically rule on earth. Amen!
We thus have to count 7 years backward from 2032, and that puts Daniel’s 70th week starting in… 2025.
In the Old Testament; in Leviticus God outlined ‘Holy Convocations’, Appointed times, Feast Days of the Lord. These are set to serve as prophetic types & shadows and commemorate things to come.
Remember, Jesus is in the Old Testament concealed, and in the New Testament revealed. I believe Jesus fulfills these on exact appointed days as outlined.
Jesus told the Pharisees this in John 5:39 – “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,”.
There are seven feasts of the Lord. Four Spring feasts, which Jesus fulfilled already:
1. Feast of Passover — Leviticus 23:4-8 where Jesus was the passover lamb who died as a sacrifice for our sins. His death allows the judgment we deserve to pass over us.
2. Feast of Unleavened Bread — Leviticus 23:6 where in conjunction with His death and burial, His sinless live represents the unleavened bread and even referred to his body as the bread… the “Bread of Life”
3. Feast of Firstfruits — Leviticus 23:10 where He raise from the dead to become the firstfruits offering, overcoming death. He represents the first of the great harvest of souls that will resurrect to eternal life because of the new covenant in His blood (Luke 22:20).
4. Feast of Weeks or Pentecost — Leviticus 23:16 where He gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us in all things and to be our comforter.
There remains now three fall feast yet to be fulfilled:
5. Feast of Trumpets — Leviticus 23:24 This one is next and is celebrated as a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts, then have a sabbath rest, and present a food offering to the Lord. This is the one I want to give special attention to in a moment. First let me conclude listing the last two feasts.
6. Day of Atonement — Leviticus 16, 23:26-32 where one is to make “atonement”, to make restitution for sins. As a day of humility and repentance to God. A somber day. It is believed that it is on this day, the Jews will be supernaturally rescued by Jesus from destruction of a coalition army of the ‘Antichrist’. At this time they will mourn and finally receive Him as their messiah.
7. Feast of Tabernacles or Booths — Leviticus 23:34 where celebration follows the Day of Atonement. The Jews commemorate God’s provision and protection for the people of Israel during their 40 years of wandering. Fulfilling this feast will include Jesus setting up a new Jerusalem as he tabernacles (dwells) with His people.
Let’s take a closer look at the next feast to be fulfilled, the Feast of Trumpets.
Not much is said about what this feast celebrates. It is sort of a mystery. But, the Apostle Paul writes a very curious passage where we get the word ‘rapture’. In 1 Corinthians 15:51-54 – “Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.”
It appears ‘at the last trumpet’ we will be transformed and receive new immortal heavenly bodies. Paul also writes about it in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 “For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
NOTE: the Greek word harpazo is the one used that is translated into English as “caught up”… it means to be pulled away by force. This word is in Latin ‘rapturo’ the verb ‘rapio’, where we get ‘rapture’.
The Feast of Trumpets, which is associated with “the Day of the Lord”, has multiple names. It is known as “the hidden day”, which also has rapture tones as it reminds me of Isaiah 26:20 – “Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; HIDE yourselves for a little while until the fury has passed by.” Another idiom used is “the Feast in which no man knows the day or hour” (that may sound familiar), is celebrated at the spotting of the New Moon, as confirmed by two witnesses, and then they blow the trumpet (shofar) 100 times with the last blast (the Tekiah Gedolah), known as “the Last Trump”. It is one long full breath blast. Trumpet blasts in Israeli tradition was used to assemble ‘a gathering’; rapture language; as well as an alert for battle. It is also a call for repentance. In this prophetic instance I believe it will eventually be this trumpet blast that initiates the rapture at the same time announcing the start of Daniel’s 70th week. A time of distress on the earth and the last three and a half years are known as “the great tribulation” or “time of Jacob’s trouble”. A time of trouble that the world has never seen before nor will ever see again. However, the rapture is God’s plan to protect His people from the wrath to come, as we are promised as mentioned before in Isaiah 26:20 and again in 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 – “For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.” … “whether we are awake or asleep” (alive or dead in Christ at the time of the rapture).
NOTE: For the first time ever, Israel is going to televise an OFFICIAL Feast of Trumpets ‘blowing of the shofar’ event on Wednesday, Sept 24. (on the heels of the UN meeting where they say ‘Peace and Safety’) Joel 2:1 – “Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl4E5Y3zFgQ
For the reasons mentioned above, I assume a pre-tribulation rapture since we are NOT appointed to wrath. I have for the longest time believed that the rapture would happen on A Feast of Trumpets. I just never knew the year. I now believe that God is telling His people that this is the season. If this is true, I suspect THIS Feast of Trumpets (Sept 23-24, 2025) could be our call home to be with the Lord (barring any calendar errors). I am not dogmatic on this, but I do feel very strong about it. Regardless, we are to keep our lamp filled with oil and remain awake and ready at all times as no one is promised tomorrow. Another interesting fact is that this Sept 23 marks the 8 year anniversary (8 represents ‘new beginnings’ in the bible) of the “Revelation 12 sign” that occurred on the exact same date on Sept. 23, 2017. At the time when it happened, many believed, including myself, that this was a marker from God signifying something big. For more info on that event, I encourage you to search the subject on your own, but here are a couple links to get you started:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORVrs4t5CQM&t=6s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3_YpEkmsh8
2025 also is the last time that the specific day counts provided in Daniel 12 and in Revelation 11 align to fall exactly on the final, yet to be fulfilled, 3 feast days of the Lord (Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles) and to not happen again looking ahead at least another 10+ years. Has this ever happened before? Yes… but only six times previously and those were only ever since Israel was established as a nation in 1948. This will be the seventh and final time (7 represents perfection or completion in the bible).
Remember, the angel tells Daniel that his prophecies would be sealed UNTIL THE END OF THE AGE, but in that time “the wise would understand” (Daniel 12:9-10).
Many times in scripture the relationship between Jesus and His followers is referred to as a marriage covenant, bride & bridegroom, and associated with the traditional Galilean wedding. For context, it goes something like this; and forgive me if I am not exact on specifics, but I will give my best summary and feel free to correct me if I error or leave out any important details:
The father would agree to terms and make a contract (ketubah). From that point on the bride would be consecrated, or set apart. The groom would then go away to the fathers house to prepare a place for he and his bride. At an unknown time, when the father deems preparations are ready, he sends the bridegroom along with the wedding party to go get the bride, announcing the coming of the bridegroom with trumpets and shouting. They would then carry the bride away to the place the bridegroom had prepared. They would then hide themselves away for seven days as they would celebrate the wedding feast and consummate the marriage. In this typology, the church is the bride of Jesus. He is the bridegroom and he has been away preparing a place for us. At the appointed time, He will appear with a trumpet and a shout calling the dead in Christ to rise first and then we who are alive will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye, and meet the groom in the air to go be with Him forevermore. Amen!
We have some stories in the bible that may allude to the timing as being 2025.
In one instance, there is the story where Jacob loves Rachel and works to earn her as his bride, but gets Leah instead. Jacob who represents Jesus was 77 years old when he married Leah, his bride who represents the church. He then works seven more years and at the age of 84 gets his first love Rachel, who represents Israel. The nation of Israel is 77 years old this year, and will be 84 in 2032 when they finally realize Jesus IS their messiah.
Another story that illustrates this is Anna the prophetess (representing Israel) who was 84 years old when she finally met Jesus in the temple.
Matthew 24:34 – “Truly I tell you, THIS GENERATION will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.” (this generation that sees the signs spoken of earlier in chapter 24) The generation that sees Israel become a nation again. Ezekiel 37
“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree” … WE ARE EXPECTED to recognize the season. Jesus held Israel accountable for NOT recognizing the timing of His first coming.
Luke 19:44 – And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT KNOW the time of your visitation.
There are sooo many people are having rapture dreams & visions right now, men, women, young, old, …even autistic kids, who would have NO reason to lie about something like this. They are giving details that they could not know on thier own. The autistic child said he saw his sister in heaven, and even gave her name. The mother never told him that years before, she had an abortion and would have named her the very name mentioned! Yes, I believe that what the bible said would happen is true and happening, regarding Joel 2:28, where in the last days, the Lord will pour out his spirit and people will have dreams and visions.
I believe we are on the verge of something big. I feel it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW5mtx4WlBw
Luke 21:36 – “Be always on the watch, and PRAY THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ESCAPE all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
The 10 virgins parable is not to the unbelieving world, but a warning to the believers. These were believers who were waiting for the bridegroom. Five were lazy and were not ready. (I don’t know if that directly correlates to ‘half’ of so-called Christians will NOT be counted worthy, but clearly, there will be some who will be denied.)
Sobering thought, regarding the rapture and ‘those worthy to escape the hour of testing that comes upon the whole earth (tribulation)… The letters to the 7 churches at the beginning of Revelation… there was ONLY ONE who was told that they were not going to go through the tribulation.
The importance of purifying ourselves at this time is soooo important. I believe there will be a GREAT MANY who call themselves Christians, find that they will be left standing here when the Lord calls His bride away to ‘hide themselves for but a little while until the indignation passes’.
Again, I point to the 10 virgins awaiting the groom. These are believers, yet we are told half of them were asleep/no oil/not ready and thus rejected by the groom.
We are to be ready and watching, purifying ourselves in preparation for the coming bridegroom, our redeemer; who is at the door this very hour.
2 Timothy 4:8 – “Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also TO ALL WHO HAVE LONGED FOR HIS APPEARING.”
Revelation 19:6-10 – (The Marriage of the Lamb) “And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints. Then the angel told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
The Barley Harvest is the Leah/bride/church rapture. Tossed into the air and to be removed from the chaff. While the Wheat Harvest is 7yrs trouble to get Rachel/Israel who must first be crushed, then the chaff is removed.
This is not replacement theology as the church believers in Jesus are the branches who have been grafted into the olive tree. Israel is still the focused people, but those who reject Jesus are the branches removed.
Romans 11:13-24 – “I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches. Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root, do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either. Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!”

Medic4Christ: (regarding the Joshua buzz and the prophetic timeline)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxL6ewjDFpc
I am just forwarding the claim of Joshua from South Africa.
Maybe Jesus really did reveal himself to him.
As for me, I will heed the warning, and if nothing happens on Sept 22-25, I will have to consider this guy a false prophet and carry on… NOT wavering in my faith at all.

Zechariah 12 Prophecy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTI_fzysJa4
NOTE: This Sept 22-24, 2025 the UN is meeting in NY to discuss ‘Peace & Safety’ and the dividing Israel.
As of the time of this article, the US is the last full-time member of the UN to not support a Palestinian state.
Donald Trump is set to give a speach and I am very curious to see what he has to say.
Type “Peace and Security” into your Google browser… the first site listed is… wait for it… the UN. Surprise, surprise!
1 Thessalonians 5:3 – “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
We know the Lord says not to divide the land and anyone who does so will receive judgement.
Joel 3:2, – “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land.” https://flashtrafficblog.epicentermedia.net/2011/06/24/a-message-of-warning-to-the-nations-do-not-divide-the-land-of-israel-understanding-the-book-of-joel-part-5/
Mystery Babylon:
In Revelation 18 it mentions the destruction of Mystery Babylon and there is a curious phrase “Come out of her my people”, which could be referring to the rapture of His church just before destruction. Revelation 18:4 – “Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues”. Many conjectures exist who this nation is, but as I read it, it sure sounds like the only nation that fits the description is the US.
This is an excellent breakdown of Mystery Babylon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viqOeBs1gy4
No matter what does or does not happen, we hold on to the Lord and run the race to the end… until our last breath.
Matthew 24:13 – “But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
Hebrews 12:1 – “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”
Our trust is in Jesus, not in a date. I just happen to believe Jesus wants his bride to know him and his plans… hence so much prophecy within scripture.
John 10:27 – “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
Revelation 19:10 – “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
I eagerly await the return of our Lord and will have my heart ready at all times to meet the King of kings and will encourage you to do so as well.
1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 – After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER with these words.
9+23+20+25=77 the age of Israel in 2025. hmmm interesting.
Feast of Trumpets in Leviticus is chapter 23 verse 23-24, then 25 is the rest. hmmm interesting.
Time is up. The age of grace is moments from concluding.

Difference between Raptured church and Tribulation saints:
This one is a deep dive into Old Testament picture of those worthy to ‘escape the hour of trial that is coming upon the whole earth’.

Again, all of this is just my thoughts on the topic. I am trying to understand what the bible tells us and compare the times we are living & events that we see happening in the world.
The bible is the ultimate source of truth and is the litmus test by which we test all things.
Romans 3:4 – “Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”
Isaiah 40:8 – “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”
If I am correct in interpreting key aspects of scripture compared with what I am seeing in current events, then NOW is the time to purify yourself, awake, oil filled, and watching.
Please pray about this and above all, seek the Lord Jesus with all your heart!
Hebrews 11:6 – “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”
Romans 10:9 – “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
May God bless you!
