#1. The rapture occurs “at the last trumpet,” 1Cor 15:52. There are 7 trumpets, preceded by a huge earthquake in Rev 8:5,6.”The earth shall shake,” Joel 3:16.
“We must through much tribulation (before rapture) enter the kingdom.” Acts 14:22.
#2. “In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom” Dan 2:44. Kingdom is dominion of a king by His laws. Christ said, “Till heaven and earth pass, not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law till all be fulfilled.” Matt 5:18.
#3. Babylon is more than Religion; it also includes Economy, Education, Government, and Healthcare as seen in Rev18:24 where pharmakeia is translated as sorcery.
#4. The three beasts in Revelation 13 are the sea beast (papacy) the land beast (US) and the image beast, New World Order. The context and Imagery are explained.
#5. We become the Bride of Christ by making a covenant when He comes to knock as seen in Luke 12:36,37. Since the Bible explains itself, the only other place that He knocks is Rev 3:20, for a lukewarm church that ended in an earthquake…big knock!
“The day of the Lord” begins with an earthquake as seen in Joel 2:10,11, Zech 14:1,5 and 1Thess 5:2,3. Note the phrase, “as travail on a woman with child.” Egypt travailed with God’s first-born (Exod 4:22). The US is like Egypt which killed babies (60 million abortions) and corporate greed has enslaved most people in alcohol, tobacco, drugs, food, fashion, fiction, gambling, greed, rock music, porn, perversion, sex, TV, violence.
God is going to execute judgment on the US as with Egypt and take those who are ready, to a covenant relationship–they become His kingdom, Speaking of the Exodus Paul said, “All those things happened to them for examples…ends of the world.” 1Cor 10:1,11.
This is not the old covenant that Israel agreed to do before they knew what it was. This is the New Covenant with the promise to write His laws in our hearts so we want to do the right thing, Jer 31:31-33. But we totally miss the context of “latter days” vs 1, and we can’t imagine what God says He will do in verses 8,10,16,17 of Jeremiah 31.
