A Vision of our final days on Earth.

I take this seriously, and I have no agenda other than trying my best to obey the Lord and adequately steward what He has given me. I understand that the Lord uses vivid imagery to communicate and much of the time man gets the interpretation of these images wrong.

This kind of thing doesn’t always happen to me. This is an account of several visions and prophetic experiences I had over a 9-day period at the end of July and the beginning of August 2021. I believe this is a warning to the Body of Christ. These visions and experiences came with strong personal correction and great encouragement from the Lord.

          These are the things He has specifically shown and told me about the days ahead that we must all face. I must admit it challenged my beliefs to the core and eventually changed many of the beliefs I held for 33 years.

Please read this prayerfully. It has humbled me tremendously. It is a sickening feeling when you realize you have been deceived for decades. I pray that only His truth is revealed in this, not my ideas. Amen.

          I am not going into all the details of these visions and encounters, just the things I feel like the Lord was emphasizing. One of the first things he caused me to see was that the seventh trumpet marks the beginning of the “Day of the Lord.”

That Great Day is not a single day as we would understand it, but it is many days, possibly 8 months to a year. I am not sure why the Lord emphasized the length and meaning of “the day of the Lord,” I am just relaying information.

          Another thing the Lord emphasized was that the Elect are the ones chosen to be alive at this magnificent revelation of Jesus Christ. The Elect are the Church and the 144000 combined. Both groups of people have the high honor of going through the greatest tribulation the world has ever seen or will see and shining through it all.

The Lord put a strong emphasis on the fact that those alive during the great tribulation (the Church and the 144000 Remnant) have one of the highest honors in Heaven. It is one of the greatest honors ever given to a man and the entire Host of Heaven is wide-eyed in anticipation of seeing what we do with it and how this plays out. It will be marked in the books of Heaven as some of mankind’s finest moments.

The Word of the Lord came to me during the second vision and said:

“The greatest outpouring of my Spirit the world has ever seen will only come with tribulation. If my people are not braced for what’s coming, they are far more likely to mishandle the anointing and be crushed by the trials.”

          We have been praying for revival and the outpouring of the Spirit as promised in scripture. This is what comes with it. The greater the tribulation, the greater the outpouring.

          When the 7th trumpet starts to blow, God marks the 144000 on the forehead. This is not seen in their physical bodies. They are marked in the spirit realm where all demons are acutely aware of who they are, and they don’t dare touch them. I saw demonized people flee in terror when they get too close to one of the 144000 and at this time all are under strong demonic influence. I witnessed crowds of demonized people watch these chosen, marked Jews from a distance because the demons in them won’t let them get too close. The 144000, as well as the Church, are perplexed by this behavior. They couldn’t understand why this was happening for months. Until the Remnant started receiving their salvation.

          The 7th trumpet blast is no short blast of the trumpet. The initial sound of the trumpet is audible and shocks the entire world. The fear of the Lord falls on the entire planet. The sound does not stop! The trumpet continues to blow for months driving the demonized people mad, but the Church will recognize the trumpet for what it is after a few days.

          Later I noticed the language used in Revelation 10:7

“but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”

This scripture confirmed to me that what I saw and heard was from the Lord. It will be a sound of hope to us who have the Spirit. It is the sound of that trumpet that strengthens us to walk through the fire and be strong in tribulation. That last long trumpet blast is God’s great mercy to the bride of Christ so that she can strengthen herself to “love not her own life unto death.” This will become the bride without spot or wrinkle that the Lord is coming back for.

          The 144000 that He chooses will be devout Jewish believers that deny Christ is the Messiah. They will sincerely love God, but not according to knowledge. (Rom 10:1-2) In God’s great love and mercy, He takes them and marks them. They represent the original olive branches that were cut off so the gentiles could be grafted in. They will be grafted back into the olive root. This is God’s Remnant.

          The Remnant will be tormented during the tribulation but not killed. Their torment will be mild compared to the torment and persecution the Church goes through, but it will continue until every last one of the 144000 confesses Jesus as Lord. Through Jesus alone is the only way into Heaven and God won’t violate His word, chosen people or not.

          The salvation of the 144000 Jews seemed to take around 8 months to almost one year. I saw them suffering persecution those extra months after the seventh trumpet blows (the LAST trumpet) and we, the Church will suffer with them. Both groups will have faith that will be gold tried in the fire. The 144000 will watch the Church be tried, tested, tortured, abused, and killed while they are going through this strange process that I will describe now.

          The 144000 had begun to gravitate together in groups because they were treated so differently from anyone else. They had a noticeably easier time in the tribulation than everyone else and this is one of the things that God uses to bring them together fast. I was very clear that this was somehow an act of mercy upon the Remnant and the Church.

           I witnessed the first man of the 144000 believe in Jesus and come to salvation. He was a dark-skinned, slender fellow with jet-black hair and a short beard. I saw the incredible burden of suffering and confusion lifted from him, the light in his eyes, the expression on his face. I could tell that he was completely free from any external influence. Nothing could hurt him or move him from his belief.

I understood that this type of faith was a special grace reserved for His Remnant. This was not a normal conversation in the traditional sense. There was a special empowerment or a special grace upon this man to be a witness for Christ, filled with divine purpose and free from the fear of man.

It was surreal to see this man’s transformation right in the midst of the great tribulation. This man was immediately filled with a contagious zeal that became the spark that spreads the gospel message to the rest of the 144000 scattered across the earth.

As I witnessed more of the Remnant getting born again, I saw that God gives each one of His Remnant the understanding to know exactly who they are in Bible prophecy, and it will only take a few months from that first man’s confession of Jesus to the final one of the 144000 to believe.

The urgency of the 144000 is fueled by the revelation of who they are in Bible prophecy and the terrible things they witness the Church going through. The Church will catch this revelation of who they are as well and help find the rest of God’s Remnant.

          As soon as the Lord showed me this, He spoke this passage to me. Jer 50:4“In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, the people of Israel and the people of Judah shall come together, weeping as they come, and they shall seek the Lord their God. 

At this point, there is much uninhabitable real estate left on the planet. Communication and transportation are restricted. It quickly becomes an actual hunt for the last man. The Remnant have a boldness that comes from the understanding that they cannot be killed. Because of this, the Remnant will be able to travel where travel is forbidden and cross boundaries that no one else can cross.

          The 144000 will have one of the highest places of honor in Heaven and they know it. They will understand love, mercy, and grace like we never have, knowing that they had absolutely nothing to do with their salvation. The Humility this revelation births in them is one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed. Truly the last shall be first.

          Once the 7th Trumpet (the last trumpet) starts to blow, the Lord hardens all unbelievers like He did Pharaoh and immediately the demons on the earth will attach themselves to the hardened people and all become demonized to different degrees. There will be no more salvation of Gentiles after that. Only the 144000 will come to the Lord during the last trumpet sound.

          Days later, in a separate vision, the Lord showed me what the “restrainer” is mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:6. You can read about this vision in The Mystery of the Restrainer.

          It is God’s great love and mercy that started this thing, and it will be His great Love and mercy that finishes it. We are His great pleasure and were made for that purpose.

          The world will witness the 144000 loving and serving God and hate them for it. They won’t be able to kill them because of the inscriptions on their foreheads. They will literally walk the earth like aliens that can’t be killed, and the hardened, demonized masses will see them as such. They will be accused of being aliens and every negative thing that is happening on the planet will be blamed on the 144000.

          I have seen a bunch of terrible things we must all face and I see no point in sharing it. The more He shows me the more excited I get. We can bring Him such great glory in these times, shining bright for His great name in the middle of the fire. I now see how blessed we are to live in these times. It is such a high honor.

          The Church is currently in a time of correction. We must all judge ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to correct and adjust us so that we can become the bride without spot or wrinkle.

He showed me that Satan’s strategy with the pre-tribulation doctrine is to confuse the Church and keep her from being prepared. The pre-trib rapture is a doctrine of devils that portions of the Church have made a stronghold. We constantly reinforce our wrong thinking by following leaders we trust without studying and praying for ourselves. Leadership has done the same thing. God has been clear to me that in the last days, we must “call no man on earth our teacher,” but lean heavily on the written word and Holy Spirit’s guidance.

If we are not saturating ourselves with truth, we will be blind to the enemy’s last-day deceptions.

Matt 23:8-12 (AMP) But you are not to be called rabbi (teacher), for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone [in the church] on earth father, for you have one Father, Who is in heaven. 10 And you must not be called masters (leaders), for you have one Master (Leader), the Christ. 11 He who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself [with haughtiness and empty pride] shall be humbled (brought low), and whoever humbles himself [whoever has a modest opinion of himself and behaves accordingly] shall be raised to honor.

          There are three prevailing doctrines on the rapture and when it takes place. Personally, up until the days He showed me this, I believed strongly in a pre-trib rapture. I was fooled.

That being said, I am not trying to start some new doctrine. I am not trying to start my own ANYTHING. I am a teacher, but primarily a prophet. I see stuff before it happens. Always have. I am just trying to be responsible with what God has shown me.  

The rapture won’t happen until the last of the 144000 confesses Jesus as Lord. What I grasp from the several visions is that this will happen about 8 to 10 months (no more than a year) after the last trumpet starts to blow, no more than 4.5 years or so into the Great Tribulation.

AFTER the first trumpet blows. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th trumpets sound in a matter of a few months. Many Christians will fall away after the first trumpet, and those that believe a pre-trib lie will be confused and unprepared when the next three trumpets sound. There was a long pause of around two years or so before the 5th trumpet blew.

I didn’t see much about the 5th and 6th trumpets. Most of these encounters were about the 7th trumpet.

During the long 7th trumpet sound, I saw that the instant the last of the Remnant believes in Jesus, we will all be caught up together with Him in the twinkling of an eye. As we disappear the trumpet stops. This is what the Lord means when He said the days will be shortened for the Elect’s sake. For the next 2.5 years or so the Earth is in great darkness.

          Satan’s final act of vengeance is to use the people left on earth to fight the final battle against the Lord. I think is after His millennial reign. But that will be a quick fight. Faith has already won the victory.

     The last Trumpet is exactly that. The LAST one. There will not be another.

Another thing He showed me was the source and scope of the outpouring that will occur during tribulation. You can read about it here:  THE GOLDEN CENCER

The Demonic Agenda of Pre-Trib Rapture Doctrine

          Let me first say; I am not attacking any person or ministry; If you believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, as I did for decades, you are deceived and believe a lie. I’m sorry.

In August 2021, I had several visitations, visions, and prophetic experiences over nine days. Many of these visions were for my own correction and instruction, but a few were of end-time events. You can read about the three visions that pertain to this post @ visions of end-time events

          I hope this will enlighten folks about the truth before it is too late. Our time is very short, and the Church is in a deplorable condition with itchy ears, pursuing a self-serving gospel.

          There are only four passages in the Bible that teach us plainly, openly, and directly about rapture. Reading these in light of the book of Revelation it becomes clear that we are here for most of the tribulation.

        The first of these passages is in Mathew 24.

Now, this is Jesus talking. Red letters in my Bible. I think He is the highest authority qualified to teach about the rapture. Pay close attention to the text. I will comment as we unpack it.

Matthew 24:29-31

 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

          Look at the opening phrase of verse 29. “Immediately after the tribulation of those days…”  Jesus is speaking to His disciples, and us, the Church, about what we will experience and go through before we are gathered from the four winds, or as we like to call it, “raptured.”

          To ensure we understand what Jesus was referring to when He said, “the tribulation of those days,” we will read everything in chapter 24 leading up to verse 29, so we are clear on what tribulation Jesus is talking about.

Matthew 24:3-28

As He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved.14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

          I am unsure I could help by elaborating on the stark clarity of the above text. However, I will make a few comments. In verse 15. The abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel standing in the holy place. I believe this is an apparent reference to the antichrist and his actions after his rise to power. After his rise to power, vs. 21 says there will be great tribulation, and those days are shortened for the elect’s sake. vs. 24, False prophets are trying to lead the Elect astray. This sounds like tribulation to me. I know some pre-trib doctrines say that the “elect” are the 144 thousand, but it is the Church He is talking about here. Let’s look at the other verses.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. (Note: according to Paul, the “the coming of our Lord, our being gathered to Him, and the day of the Lord” are the same day.)

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.  (Note: We will see this great falling away and the Anti-Christ’s abomination of desolation with our eyes!) Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 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. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52

Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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 imperishable, and we shall be changed.

          These last two passages speak about a trumpet blast, but 1 Corinthians makes it clear WHAT trumpet. Is it the seventh trumpet in Revelation 11? Or is the trump of God different from the seven trumpets in Revelation 11, as many pre-trib doctrines try to explain away? It is The LAST trumpet! Meaning there will be NO OTHER TRUMPETS AFTER THIS ONE. So, this is CLEARLY the seventh trumpet in Revelation 11. If it is not, the trumpet would have to come after the seventh trumpet, or it would not be THE LAST TRUMPET.

          To even start believing in this foolishness, we first had to learn it from another man. Maybe a father or a pastor or some teacher we trust; we just didn’t learn it from the Bible. No matter what theological gymnastics we use, we can’t get around this being the Last Trumpet, and we can’t escape the simplicity of the above texts.

Pre-trib believers use other passages of the Bible to imply or infer a pre-trib rapture. They try and project or convey an interpretation of prophecy onto these texts. Still, WE WILL NOT FIND IT IN ANY TEXT!

          You have to complicate things with assumptions to arrive at this escapist theology.

          There is a demonic agenda behind every false teaching. This teaching is not just a false doctrine but a doctrine of devils, designed to deceive the Church into being unprepared when tribulation comes.
