Okay folks, time to start aligning the signs we see around us and across the globe, to see if we are indeed at the end times. The end Times will technically last seven years. But since we believe the Rapture happens before the seven years start counting down, can we look at the signs which point to the coming seven years events and know the Rapture is even closer than that seven years?
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.
To show His servants—things which must shortly take place...
Revelation 4, 4 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
I will show you things which must take place after this...
Revelation 11:2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.
42 months = 3 and a half years
3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
42 (months) x 30 (days) = 1260= three and a half (lunar) years
Revelation 11:9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
יָמִים Translated as 'days' but is also translated years elsewhere
Revelation 11:11 [ The Witnesses Resurrected ] Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
Revelation 12:14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
Revelation 13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.
Daniel 9: 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”
Yeshua put an end to the sacrifice
Passover 3790 is the middle of a shmita cycle (seven) 30 CE

Why Didn’t the Red Ribbon on the Head of the Scapegoat Turn White in 30 C.E.?
Clip:
The Talmud relates, however, that 40 years before the destruction of the Second Temple the scarlet colored strip of wool did not turn white. The text of the Talmud which missionaries quote states,
The Rabbis taught that forty years prior to the destruction of the Temple the lot did not come up in the [high priest’s] right hand nor did the tongue of scarlet wool become white…

Daniel's 70th week is divided between Yeshua and the anti-Christ
Google Jesus three and a half years to find out how long His ministry lasted. Or just count the Passovers in John.
That fact is lost on a lot of folks.
Yes, that will be the explanation.
I met Ed a couple of times a few years back. He prayed with me. Nice guy.
Um, mind telling me where you lifted that supposed quote you start you post with?
Go to the English Standard Version - where they are saying ‘peace and security’ - different translation, though the KJV is my personal favorite.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-4English Standard Version (ESV)
The Day of the Lord
5 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers,[a] you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is #####peace and security#####,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
Then watch this video - I don’t think the 60th anniversary of the U.N. was quite as significant as who made the video, but they certainly caught a lot:

I like the ESV.
When I’ve checked the Greek, I’ve always found it to be a very good translation.
It’s pretty close to the RSV? Yeah, they seem A-OK to me as much as I’ve read from them.
I like the World English Bible. The authors went to the oldest manuscripts available and have a really close to Greek meaning Text, as the Greek idioms were 2000 years ago..
This has to be coming shortly. The Vatican has been allied with the UN and those that profit from the Federal Reserve. But the UN and the Federal Reserve are satanic creations and hate the Catholic Church. The evil ones have their man, a Jesuit, as pope in their final takeover, the first Jesuit pope, who speaks with one mind with the councils of communism, homosexuality, lack of judgment (right and wrong), etc. I would think they feel they can go ahead and bring final destruction and burn her with fire now that they have other streams of income with the Federal Reserve and their global warming hoax well under way.
The merchants will watch from afar and wail when Mystery Babylon is destroyed.
.Maybe the anti-Christ will point to his removal of the goats as evidence he is the messiah
I think it will be the saints, the sheep who will be Raptured.
So do I.I just think it might be explained as the goats being removed by the new-age messiah.
Figured you would agree.
Yeah, I imagine a lot of Scripture will be twisted.
Now, he’ll show his “middle east peace” and then the False Prophet will say take the 666 so that you may buy and sell in the new economy.
I think you may be right about that.....in many verses we are told that God is "long suffering" toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance...(2 Peter 3:9)..
Perhaps folks should read the story of Jonah.... It's not very long so it wont take up a lot of their time....
God's patients is NOT infinite....but He IS a forgiving God.. Personally, I don't think even He has decided when the day of reckoning will come....when He has had all he can stand He'll drop the hammer on us..!
But, then again...who can say..???
MHO.....
If you want a different perspective to ponder, search Youtube for Walid Shoebat on the end times.
One vital clue is to differentiate the Olivet Discourse given in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 from the Temple Discourse given earlier int he day in the temple to a multitude, many of whom were instrumental in the escape of perhaps tens of thousands of Christians from Jerusalem right before Titus razed the city and utterly destroyed the Temple, killing more than a million in the city and surrounding villages.
Mystery Babylon killed the saints, dresses in red and purple, sits on many waters (peoples) and speaks many languages, plays the harlot (adopts other's traditions rather than stays faithful to the Word of God, can't be Islam), rules over the kings of the earth (popes throughout the centuries thought they could crown kings, like Charlemagne, etc, and today through the UN tries to control presidents).
Mecca doesn't fit. Only one city fits.
Trying to figure out why you would push Mecca as Mystery Babylon. Is it because you believe the Catholic Church is also going to be gone in your rapture?
