The End Times, The Great Consummation

Fallacies of the Great Tribulation Doctrines

This Side of the Whirlwind includes this chapter to dispel erroneous teachings and mistaken doctrines. Remember this fact, God withheld a large portion of the End Times message until the Latter Days were in full force. Only recently has this information been made available through divine revelation. God may have imparted this information to dozens of other Christians worldwide or possibly none at all save me. This author was not made aware of those facts. Without the recent revelations and the information it provided, anyone creating an End Times doctrine would have been woefully short of information and facts and therefore prone to grievous doctrinal errors. Many of these errors are found in the modern versions on the End Times and accepted doctrines about the Latter Days, the Rapture, and the Wrath of God.   These doctrines are grossly in error.

Consider this, if God’s people can be destroyed for a lack of knowledge,[1] then gaining pertinent correct knowledge should be considered invaluable. With this in mind, let us reinforce and shore up any gaps in our understanding, which might lead to our destruction or damnation. The threat is especially present when referring to issues relating to the End Times. God’s Word repeatedly urges Christians to safeguard their walk with Christ or risk failing to overcome the trials of the Tribulation Period.[2] And yes, Christians will remain for the Tribulation Portion of the Great Consummation.  Within the first three chapters of Revelation, the Lord warns the saints on no less than eight occasions they must overcome the hour of temptation or Tribulation Period to make it to the end of the Tribulation Period with their salvation intact. Therefore, it seems prudent to look over some of the mistakes most common to current End Times teachings and make corrections.  Such is the primary function for my book, “This Side of the Whirlwind”.

Chapter 12, beginning on page 164 of the paperback version details many of the most powerful and dangerous mistakes found in Pre and Mid-Tribulation Rapture doctrines as well as A-Millennialism and Preterism. Don’t allow a lack of knowledge to destroy your salvation in Christ.

[1] Hosea 4:6.

[2] Revelation 2:7, 2:10, 2:11, 2:17, 2:25–26, 3:12, and 3:21. “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels” (Revelation 3:5 NKJV).

Hearing God's Voice, The End Times

Receiving a Word

Have you personally – ever – actually – received a Word of Knowledge; you know, a Word spoken directly from the Spirit of God, your Creator into your mind and your spirit?

Remember, a Word from the Lord MUST come to pass OR be confirmed by the mouth of two or three witnesses (2 Corinthians 13:1); otherwise, it is just CRAP!

True or Pseudo?

God, The End Times, The Great Consummation

Look Up for your Redemption Draws Nigh

Have you noticed the fulfillment of these prophecies?

1. The Holocaust represented the fulfillment of Jacob’s Trouble outlined in Jeremiah 30:1-24
2. Israel became a nation in 1948 fulfilling Jeremiah 16:14-17; Jeremiah 23:7-8; Hosea 3:4-5.
3. The restoration of Israel as a nation was critical to the fulfillment of dozens of prophecies; for example, you cannot place the Abomination of Desolation in the Holy of Holies without the Temple in Jerusalem existing (Daniel 12:4-13; Matthew 24:15-16).
4. “The Mark” is in play with nearly 100,000 individuals worldwide already sporting the new and apparently desirable technology which is also available to almost anyone who would like one. Some individuals are announcing that Australia’s population is about to receive bio-implanted microchips. As far as I know, Australia has not officially announced such a move.
5. A global financial system however has already been established and connects every nation in order to support “The Mark’s” functionality around the globe. The EMV payment system is merely one of these systems or networks.
6. The rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem is currently in motion. The United Nation’s actions will likely force Israel to act.
7. And the Beast is walking the earth at this very moment.
8. The 80 or less year deadline for the Latter Days is nearly at its end and the Time of the Gentiles is nearly over.
9. The Blood-Moons have announced their place in the heavens (Joel 2:28-32).
10. The Kingdom of the Northern coalition has begun.
11. It is likely the Kingdom of the South has also started.
12. The Arab nations are banding together unlike ever before.
13. The great falling away has been ongoing for several years.
14. Need I list more! ! ! ?

Falling Away?

A Great Falling Away

Nations have mindsets, beliefs and opinions just like individuals. Those mindsets change, beliefs ebb and flow and opinions can be just as asinine as yours or mine.

Long ago, approximately 36 A.D. Paul the Apostle prophesied a great falling away would come to God’s people, a falling away from the gospel and the message of God in general. This prophetic utterance related specifically to the Second Coming of Christ and our gathering to meet Jesus in the skies during the Rapture.

Watch for Christ’s Coming!

Paul wrote:

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.

Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion [a falling away] occurs and the man of lawlessness [the Beast] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.  (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 emphasis added)

Reports suggest 4000 Christian based churches per year are closing their doors in America and have been doing so over the past several years.

And why not?

This Side of the Whirlwind: Chicago Rebound

Hey everybody I’m back!

What a fun trip.

The Windy City was indeed windy and the people fabulous.

Everywhere I went people treated me with respect, courteousness and generosity of spirit. Thanks Chicago!

I still think of Chicago as The Big City even though I was raised in Phoenix, Arizona a city of over 4.5 million people with a GDP of over 200 Billion.

Chicago only sports 2.7 million BUT – with a GDP of over 600 Billion. You go Chicago!

Watch out, Hillary is after those taxes and Trump your businesses.

Have you ever know more corrupt presidential candidates? Wow!

Anyways…

I was camped on the 10^th floor of the Red Roof Inn downtown Chi-Ca-Go!

The hotel’s staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Thanks Red Roof. 🙂

Wow, was that an old hotel.

Meet the Adventure

Meet the Adventure and Climb!

God has a plan for your life.  More significantly, God has a plan for the entire Body of Christ and world as a whole. Sometimes unpleasant circumstances take place before God’s purposes reach fruition. During such campaigns the saints can sometimes endure great struggles and persecution; even death for the greater good.  For example, as groups of Christians were tortured and bravely faced death for their faith in the various Gladiatorial games of the Roman Empire, thousands of Romans citizens and slaves experienced a profound calling towards Christ and salvation. Thus, for the loss of a few, thousands received eternal-life.

God moves in mysterious and even strange ways.

Humans seldom fully comprehend God’s true purposes or methods.

We are not guaranteed a pleasant physical existence here on earth; rather, we are guaranteed a glorious eternal-life devoid of shame or suffering. Life is a journey.

So, we must climb the proverbial mountain of life because we are called by God to climb. It’s an act of faith as we are called to live for Christ. Should we slip, fall or even bust our butts falling down in the muck and mire of this life’s journey, we must get back up and continue to climb. It’s okay if we must take a few moments to recover and then get back up and start climbing again, as long as we keep climbing. The only way we fail is if we cease to honestly try.

Chicago Bound

I’m off to Chicago for work and fun – I’ll touch base with you’all once I’m done.

God bless! 🙂

If you get bored, check out my book, This Side of the Whirlwind.

I’m off to do a little television spot.  Sounds fun.

Sales pitch alert, alert, ALERT!

Oh no, here he goes again…

Hee, hee, hee… Made you look!

Jesus – Friend

For many years I had a tremendous friendship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Then one day I forgot He was more than just my friend and I took that friendship and relationship for granted.

I disobeyed even as the Lord continued to warn me.  He said, “NO!”

For my disobedience the Lord lifted the sense of His presence for nearly three years.  I did not feel His loving presence nor did I know if it would ever return.  I had known God’s presence, almost, my entire life.  I had never not known that expression of my God.  I was crushed under the silence and aloneness.  I wrote this in my great sorrow. 😦

Forever and All Times

Lord, long, I have known You,

Gave You my life, heart and soul,

With all my strength I’ve served You,

By Your grace forever let it be so.

Then willfully I abandoned,

Commandments You did bring,

To me whom much was given,

The same I forgot required indeed.

I knew it was forbidden,

Thus great punishment deserved, received.

For years You plied Your lessons

Till certain I believed,

I missed Your sweet, sweet presence,

My heart’s most central yearn!

I thought You would dismiss it,

As a friend to friend miss-deed,

But I Forgot — God, –Creator,

Much more than friend to me art Thee!

Forgive my trespass grievous

Against My God, my King, my Friend,

Most erudite of lessons,

Help me n’er to err again!

I need You Lord, my Savior,

My God, Redeemer, dear Friend,

At all times, ever beside me,

May Your Spirit, Your love n’er be missed again,

I love You Lord, more than living,

Forever and all times in Your presence beyond the end.

To: My Great & Almighty God,          From: a least and wayward son

Thankfully, my punishment ended and His sense of presence was restored.

Words cannot describe the tremendous relief.

THANK YOU, MY LORD!

Trump of God?

At the Sounding of the Trumpet

There are zero substitutes for knowing the correct information.

Let us look at a couple critical scriptures related to the Rapture of the Body of Christ.  Too often the Trump of God or last Trump of God is confused with the Seventh Trumpet of Judgment.  Below you will find several reasons why they are not the same trump.  Enjoy! 🙂

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 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 incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”  (1 Corinthians 15:50-54 NKJV)

The above passage is referring to the Second Coming of Christ and our gathering together to Him in the clouds, the Rapture.  So… we will be gathered to Him (Jesus, in the clouds) 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.

But what last trump is the scripture referring to?

Let us also look at 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 NKJV.

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep [died] lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

So, not just any – last – trumpet… but the – last – Trump of God!

Well then, how is the last trumpet of God and the last trumpet of the Seven Trumpets of Judgment different? We shall see!

The Trump of God Versus the Seventh Trumpet

The sounding of the Seventh Trumpet of Judgment will roughly coincide with the pouring out of the seventh plague (Revelation 11:15-19). Both biblical events will take place near the closing of the Wrath of God. Neither the seventh trumpet nor the seven bowls of wrath should be confused with The Trump of God or the last trump of God, here’s why

1. The Seventh Trumpet of Judgment is neither the last trump nor the trump of God.
2. The Seventh Trumpet of Judgment, as mentioned in Revelation 11:15–19, is an angelic trumpet sounded by angels to announce the end of God’s Wrath and the beginning of Christ’s reign.
3. Each of The Seventh Trumpet of Judgment is an angelic trumpet blown by an angel in fulfillment of the last of the seven seals and the Wrath of God.
4. The Trump of God is sounded by God, likely the Lord Jesus Christ as He gathers, as one, the Body of Christ into the skies over the earth. The event is commonly referred to as the Rapture.
5. The last trump or the Trump of God is synonymous.  The Last Trump of God takes place at the time of the Rapture when the Body of Christ is gathered before the beginning of the Wrath of God.
6. The Trump of God is blown before God’s Wrath falls while the seventh trumpet is blown at the end of God’s Wrath.
7. After considering just these few facets, it should be simple to conclude the Trump of God or the last trump is not the seventh trumpet.

This little tidbit is critical in determining when Christ returns “FOR” the Body of Christ and when Christ returns “WITH” the Body of Christ.  Huge difference!

Food for thought! 🙂

FEEDBACK

Feedback Please 🙂

Hey readers, I’m looking for some actual feedback.  Thank you. 🙂

1. How many of you truly believe Christ is returning within the next ten to twenty years?
2. Did you know the Body of Christ will not be Rapture until two and a half years into the Great Consummation and at the end of the Tribulation Period.  This is just before the Wrath of God begins and spans one year of judgment.

My book, “This Side of the Whirlwind” –proves– the Body of Christ is not – cannot be Raptured before the Tribulation Period of the Great Consummation takes place. My book also –proves– the Great Tribulation doctrine cannot be correct.  Bold words but true; but I categorically –prove– within my book that the Great Tribulation doctrine is in error because it was missing nearly half the message “NOW” available in God’s Word.  The Great Tribulation Rapture doctrine does not line up with scripture, never did and never will.  This Side of the Whirlwind PROVES it!

3. Did you know, that the Body of Christ must remain here on earth to fulfill its role during the Tribulation Portion of the Great Consummation.  This is referred to as the Separation portion of the Tribulation Period.

4. how many of you have actually begun to prepare for this extended wilderness journey?  The crucible of God where we, the Body of Christ, can find peace in the middle of the Storm.  Are you preparing?

You know:

1. Storing long-term food sources:
2. Gathering survival gear, camping supplies and hunting equipment.
3. Medical supplies, personal medicine along with hygiene related items.
4. Maps and routes to wilderness locations deep in the woods, deserts or mountains.

If you have not, know that it is long past time to begin preparing.  Please get started immediately.  There is a cursory survival guide in the last chapter of “This Side of the Whirlwind.”

5. What is possibly more important… how many of you know categorically, or at least truly recognize, that “The Mark of the Beast” is here and being employed by corporations, governments and individuals?

• Do you know better than to embrace or take any bio-tech which has financial use potential.
• Nothing placed in or on your body which could be used to buy or sell, as in a credit/Debit type technology.
• The Mark is currently voluntary but will soon become mandatory.

I know that on the surface this all sounds crazy, right?

This is why the scripture refers to Jesus returning “like a thief in the night.” His return will be subtle to most of the world.  Don’t get caught with your pants down and “The Mark” tagged somewhere on your body.  The Mark is damnation!

In Revelation 3:3 Jesus personally tells us: Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.

We Christians are supposed to know.

We are the Children of the Light, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-9.

I’m am intentionally going to keep this one short so you’ll have time to answer the few questions posed. Please take the time to answer these few questions.

Thank you and God bless!
