I am going to pick up where we left off in Part 4...
As it is written:
5Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to THE END of these wonders?
7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when “HE” shall have accomplished to SCATTER THE POWER OF THE HOLY PEOPLE, ALL THESE THINGS shall be *FINISHED.
Who is the "HE" referred to here? I believe it is referring to the Anti-Christ, or Satan in the Anti-Christ.. when he is given power to Overcome the saints of God.
8And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, WHAT SHALL BE *THE END OF THESE THINGS?
9And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till THE TIME OF THE END.
10Many shall be PURIFIED, and MADE WHITE, and TRIED; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the ABOMINATION that maketh DESOLATE set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (3yrs 6months approx)
12Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. (3yrs 7months approx)
13But go thou thy way till THE END be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at THE END OF THE DAYS. Daniel 12:5-13
Now there are some who teach that what Daniel referred to here, has already taken place, before the time of Christ. I do not believe that at all. I believe this is referring to End time events.
Now I believe we can see this same Abomination of Desolation, this same Anti-Christ spoken of here in Revelation.
As it is written:
5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and BLASPHEMIES; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (3years 6months approx)
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7And it was given unto him to MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and to OVERCOME THEM: and POWER WAS GIVEN HIM over all kindreds, and tongues, and NATIONS.
8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are NOT written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9If any man have an ear, let him hear. Revelation 13:5-9
Enoch also prophesied of the Second Coming of the Lord.
As it is written:
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, THE LORD COMETH with TEN THOUSANDS OF HIS SAINTS,
To execute JUDGMENT upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Jude 1:14-15
I have had Pre-tribulation rapture believers say, “Well it is written that we are going to escape the tribulation, because we the body of Christ, the church, are found Worthy to escape."
As it is written:
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, *that ye may be accounted worthy to ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:34-36
*This scripture is commonly taught to be referring to a pre-tribulation rapture. But in it’s context, what is it speaking of escaping?
The snare of Satan & the wrath and judgments of God!
We are told to stay faithful to Jesus and the Word of God, then we will be sealed from God's wrath.
If you will read these scriptures in their context in Luke 21 you will see it is speaking of the time of Christ’s Second Coming not a Pre-Tribulation Rapture.
The problem with many is that they have trustingly believed doctrine that has been taught them by men for many years. Instead of doing what The Word tells us to do and that is study for ourselves. That we might rightly divide the Word of God.
Bits of scripture have been taken out of context to piece together a pre-tribulation rapture. Upon close examination the pieces just do not give a truthful picture of what is to take place at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
This next scripture is yet another Pre-Trib Rapture favorite..
As it is written:
And *when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke21:28
But Let us look at this scripture in it’s full context:
As it is written:
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until *THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES be fulfilled.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for THE POWERS of HEAVEN shall be SHAKEN.
And then shall they SEE the Son of man COMING in A CLOUD with power and great glory. Luke21:25-27
What is going on here?
1. Signs in the sun, moon and stars
2. Distress of Nations with perplexity
3. Men’s hearts are failing for fear of those things coming on the earth,
sounds like an on going time of Great Tribulation to me.
As it is written:
And *WHEN THESE THINGS "BEGIN" to come to pass, then LOOK UP, and lift up your heads; for your REDEMPTION draweth nigh. Luke21:28
As it is written:
So likewise ye, *when ye SEE these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Luke 21:31
Q.*So when are we to look up and lift up our heads?
Q. When are we to know that the kingdom of God is near at hand?
Q.*The Times of the Gentiles ... What does this mean?
“The fulfillment of the times of the Gentiles” I believe refers to the end of the period that God has dealt in mass with the Gentiles. It ends with the great falling away. It is the turning point when God I believe begins to deal with the Nation of Israel.
Just as God has always had salvation open to the Nation of Israel since the time of Christ, He has had a veil over their eyes as a whole until the time of the end, He I believe is about to lift that veil.
It will not mean that salvation will no longer be available for Gentiles. It just means that the Times of the mass salvation of Gentiles are over. It will then be Israel’s turn in mass to recognize and accept Jesus as their Messiah their Lord and Savior.
We I believe are in the midst of the Great Apostasy the Great Falling away from the TRUTH of the Word of God, in the predominantly Gentile “Church”. Thus it signals to me the urgency of the Day and Hour in which we are now living.
In Part 6 we will take a closer look at those "Tribulation Saints"...
This blog is designed to make you "think". Also to encourage,exhort,edify and "Warn" the saints of God as we see the day of The Lord on the horrizon.

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part4-video transcript
The Mystery/The Trumpets/Judgment
We will be reiterating some scriptures in this video, because we are going to be concentrating on what "The Mystery/A Mystery" is.
We will also look at the "Last Trump" aspect of the Second Coming, and "The Judgment", and the time of Jacob’s Trouble.
Behold, I SHOW 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 TRUMP: for the TRUMPET shall SOUND, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be CHANGED.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on IMMORTALITY.
So when this corruptible shall have put on INCORRUPTION, and this mortal shall have put on IMMORTALITY, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.
O death, where is thy sting? O GRAVE WHERE IS THY VICTORY?
1 Corinthians 15:51-55
We see that Death is Destroyed at "Christ's Coming", it is swallowed up in Victory! This occurs at the end of the Great Tribulation, not at the point of a pre-tribulation rapture. These scriptures are clearly speaking of the RESURRECTION.
Now let us examine the scriptures in regards to the SEVENTH ANGEL which I believe is the angel who sounds THE LAST TRUMP, the last of the SEVEN TRUMPETS!
As it is written:
But in the days of the VOICE of *the SEVENTH angel, when he shall begin to *SOUND, the *MYSTERY of God should be FINISHED, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7
It is written:
And *the SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, and of HIS CHRIST; and he shall REIGN for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15
This is relating to the Second Coming after which the Millennial reign begins.
And I saw the SEVEN ANGELS which stood before God; and to them were given SEVEN TRUMPETS. Revelation 8:2
And the SEVEN ANGELS which had the SEVEN TRUMPETS prepared themselves to SOUND. Revelation 8:6
Now I have had pastors tell me that there are other trumpets, that relate to the Pre-Trib Rapture. But none produced the scriptures to back up their theory, because, simply put, they can't, because there are none!
As it is written:
Behold, I come as a THIEF. Blessed is he that WATCHETH, and keepeth his GARMENTS, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue ARMAGEDDON.
And the SEVENTH angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, IT IS DONE.
Revelation 16:15-17
How strange is it that the Lord is mentioned here as coming as a THIEF and we are told to keep our Garments, in the “context” of the gathering of the armies at ARMAGEDDON, if the saints are long gone in a Pre-trib Rapture?
It is written:
And the nations were angry, and thy WRATH is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be JUDGED, and that thou shouldest give REWARD unto thy servants the prophets, and to the SAINTS, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Revelation 11:18
It is written:
And, behold, I come QUICKLY; and my REWARD is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:12
The Lord revealed His Second Coming to Zechariah...
As it is written:
Then shall the LORD go forth, and FIGHT against those NATIONS, as when he fought in THE DAY OF BATTLE.
And HIS FEET SHALL STAND IN THAT DAY UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and THE MOUNT OF OLIVES SHALL CLEAVE IN THE MIDST THEREOF toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of THE MOUNTAIN SHALL REMOVE toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD MY GOD SHALL COME, and ALL THE SAINTS with thee.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
And the LORD shall be KING over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. Zechariah 14:3-9
This has to be speaking of prior and during the Millennial reign, because it speaks of the Lord “Coming with His Saints“. During the Millennial reign the Lord and His saints will be on the earth.
As it is written:
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:
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:
Matthew 25:31-32
This scripture read in its context can't possibly be speaking of the Great White Throne Judgment, because that occurs after the Millennial reign, and Jesus Christ is already here on the earth at that time.
As it is written:
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his APPEARING and his KINGDOM;
2 Timothy 4:1
Moses spoke of the Second coming of Jesus Christ.
As it is written:
And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and HE CAME WITH TEN THOUSANDS OF SAINTS: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. Deuteronomy 33:1-3
The preceding scripture is referring to the future time of the Lords return and His following Thousand Year Reign.
Daniel speaks more than once of The Second Coming of Christ. These next scriptures may be a matter of unrest for:
1. Those who believe the Gentile body replaces the natural branches.
2. Those who believe all these things Daniel speaks of here, have already taken place, and we are already living in the time of Christ’s Millennial reign, and that Satan is already bound.
As it is written:
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be *A TIME OF TROUBLE, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time *THY PEOPLE SHALL BE *DELIVERED, EVERY ONE that shall be FOUND WRITTEN IN *THE BOOK.
Is this “Time of Trouble” speaking of the TIME OF JACOBS TROUBLE, as recorded in Jeremiah 30:1-24?
Who are the “THY PEOPLE” referred to?
Who are the “DELIVERED” and delivered from what?
“THE BOOK” can only be referring to “THE BOOK OF LIFE“.
2And many of THEM THAT SLEEP IN THE DUST OF THE EARTH SHALL AWAKE, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
So here in verse 2 we see a RESURRECTION, do we not?
3And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to *THE TIME OF THE END: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:1-4
To be continued in Part 5
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 3- video transcript
It is written:
Immediately *AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fFALL from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be SHAKEN:
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.
And 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. Matthew 24:29-31
Who are the elect?
Are we the blood brought saints of God not the elect?
As it is written, that Paul said :
Put on therefore, "AS the ELECT of God", holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Colossians 3:12
It is written:
For in those days shall be AFFLICTION, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
And except that the Lord had SHORTENED those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the ELECT’S sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath SHORTENED the days.
And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
For FALSE CHRISTS and FALSE PROPHETS shall rise, and shall show SIGNS and WONDERS, to SEDUCE, IF it were possible, even the ELECT.
But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Mark 13:19-23
Are not these scriptures quoted freely as relating to the saints of God in this very day? So we can see in this last set of scriptures we the saints of God, are the Elect that are spoken of here.
Mark reiterates the same sequence of events as are written in Matthew 24:29-31 in his gospel.
As it is written:
But in those days, *AFTER THAT TRIBULATION, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
*And then shall they *SEE the Son of man COMING IN THE CLOUDS with great power and glory.
*And then shall he send his angels, and shall *GATHER together *his ELECT from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the *EARTH to the uttermost part of *heaven. Mark 13:24-27
Now if the Pre-trib Rapture has already occurred and the church is in heaven, why are the angels gathering the "ELECT", who we have established are the body of Christ, from the EARTH if they are all in Heaven already?
A continuous theme surrounding Christ's return is the fact that HE SHALL COME IN THE CLOUDS.
It is written:
Behold, HE COMETH WITH CLOUDS; and EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Revelation 1:7
Did the Angels of the Lord not promise those who witnessed His assent to Heaven, that He would come in the same manner as He left, that He would descended from the clouds?
As it is written:
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:9-11
Daniel had a vision of the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ..
As it is written:
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like THE SON OF MAN CAME WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a KINGDOM, that all PEOPLE, NATIONS, and LANGUAGES, should serve him:
his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his KINGDOM that which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14
This Kingdom that Daniel is speaking of, is obviously to me, speaking of the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ on this earth.
And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN. Mark 14:62
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN. Matthew 26:64
Job also testified to the second coming of Jesus Christ
As it is written:
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. Job 19:24-26
Job knew in his soul he would one day be Resurrected and he would see his Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and he would see him in his Resurrected body!
It is written:
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when THE LORD JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED FROM HEAVEN with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
WHEN HE SHALL COME TO BE GLORIFIED IN HIS SAINTS, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10
When is Jesus coming to be Glorified in His saints, and how is he Glorified in His saints?
At, and through, the Promised Resurrection!
Even the Psalm of Asaph mentions the coming of the Lord to Gather His saints.
As it is written:
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
GATHER MY SAINTS together unto me; THOSE THAT HAVE MAKE A COVENANT WITH ME BY SACRIFICE.
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself.
Selah Psalm 50:3-6 (Romans 12:1 present your bodies a living sacrifice-Gil)
Saints I have learned of the Holy Spirit, as I mentioned in Part 2 of this series, that the sequence of events at the second coming of Christ, and what is known as the "Rapture", but is in fact the Resurrection, is not going to be a drawn out process. These events occur, as it is written "In the "Twinkling" of an eye at the "Last" Trump!" The Lord is going to come quickly, and He is going to do a quick work!
As it is written that Jesus said:
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:12
As it is written that Jesus said:
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20
As it is written:
IN A MOMENT, in the TWINKLING OF AN EYE, at the LAST TRUMP: for the TRUMPET shall SOUND, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be CHANGED. 1 Corinthians 15:52
In Part 4 I shall share what the Lord revealed to me in regards to "A MYSTERY" and I shall also share what He revealed to me about the "LAST TRUMP"
