2019 Season of the Green Figs

My beloved spoke, and said to me:

"Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.

For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over [and] gone.

The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come,

And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.

Song of Solomon 2:10-12 NKJV

Oh, praise HIM! This morning as I was hiking uphill on my treadmill the Holy Spirit highlighted some things to me and so I must share them! Yesterday I spent some time contemplating the possibility of a Spring Resurrection/Rapture and came across Song of Solomon 2:10-13: 

My beloved spoke, and said to me:

"Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.

For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over [and] gone.

The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come,

And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.

The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines [with] the tender grapes Give a [good] smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!

Song of Solomon 2:10-13 NKJV 

This section of Scripture is, of course, a picture of the Resurrection and Rapture of the Bride being called to “rise up” to meet her Bridegroom—“And come away!” Also notice that at Springtime in the Middle East the fig tree puts forth green figs. Exactly when do green figs appear? At the Passover season:  

"At Passover season in late March or early April, fig trees are often in leaf on the eastern side of the Mount of Olives. At this time of year, such fig trees contained only green early figs (Arabs call them taqsh), which ripen around June but often drop off before that time, leaving only green leaves on the tree. A leafy tree lacking such early figs, however, would bear no figs at all that year," (Keener, A Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew [Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, July 1999], p. 504)

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

Remember the account of Jesus and the fig tree?

And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not [yet].

And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it]. - Mark 11:12-14 KJV

And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. - Mark 11:20-21 KJV

 ‘The time of the fig is not yet,’ says Mark, for it was just before Passover, about six weeks before the fully-formed fig appears. The fact that Mark adds these words shows that he knew what he was talking about. When the fig leaves appear about the end of March, they are accompanied by a crop of small knobs, called taqsh by the Arabs, a sort of fore-runner of the real figs. These taqsh are eaten by peasants and others when hungry. They drop off before the real fig is formed. But if the leaves appear unaccompanied by taqsh, there will be no figs that year. So it was evident to our Lord, when He turned aside to see if there were any of these taqsh on the fig-tree to assuage His hunger for the time being, that the absence of the taqsh meant that there would be no figs when the time of figs came. For all its fair foliage, it was a fruitless and a hopeless tree." (Bruce, Are The New Testament Documents Reliable? [Intervarsity Press; Downers Grove, Ill, fifth revised edition 1992], pp. 73-74; bold emphasis ours)

. . . Moreover, the cursing of the fig tree is a played or acted out parable, one which warned the nation of Israel of impending judgment. answeringislam.org

As the above excerpt indicated, Jesus cursed the fig tree for “it was a fruitless and a hopeless tree”. The lack of green figs sprouting from the tree indicated that there would be no mature fruit when harvest time came.

This is a picture of the spiritual condition of Israel at the time their Messiah first came to them! Israel as a nation did not accept Yahshua as their Moshiach which left them without hope and having to endure the future Jacob’s Trouble—The Tribulation or Daniel’s 70^th Week. Along with other unbelievers, the Tribulation will be experienced by the natural-born Israelites who have not yet accepted Yahshua as their Messiah.

The Tree Now HAS Green Figs!

Paul Dawson published a wonderful video on the possibility of the Rapture occurring this Passover.

In the video he includes the account of Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch who could not understand the Book of Isaiah Chapter 53. This reminded me of the story Zev Porat told in his recent video Outreach: Isaiah 53 Explodes In The Kotel (Western Wall). Zev tells how Isaiah 53 is taboo to the Jew and how he got into some trouble when witnessing at the Western Wall!

 

When I posted the link to this video on Rev12daily blogspot, Sherry Griffin commented that the man at the Kotel that Porat was ministering to who was listening so intently may be one of the 144,000 (Revelation 7:1-4):

Sheila B. February 2, 2019 at 12:19 PM

Lyn, TY so much for sharing that clip. It just had me imagining what 144K will look like as they reveal the True Messiah to those who will be starving for that Truth and how the gates of hell will never prevail! Blessings, Sister:-)

Sherry Griffin February 2, 2019 at 5:29 PM

Thank you Lyn, love Porat and this clip says it all. The Israelite Nation is under a judgement, blinded eyes and deaf ears until we are gone. There are those - like this man and the Messianics - who have genuinely seeking hearts and they are certainly allowed to see it. Banned Chapter indeed - no wonder - Isaiah 53 spells it out the most clearly of any of the Old Testament books. No wonder they had to ban it, even a child can see Yeshua is Mashiach! Sheila, we may have just been shown one of the 144,000 - the man Porat was ministering to and who was listening so intently. His Word will not return void. Blessings - Sherry

There are many theories on who the 144,000 are, but my point here is I believe the Spirit of the Lord is showing that we are in the SEASON OF THE GREEN FIGS. What I mean is that, just as Zev Porat experienced as he reached out to the Jewish man at the Kotel, many, many Jews are “ripe for the picking” as GREEN FIGS but will not be fully mature for HARVEST until sometime during The Tribulation. 

Much indicates that 2019 is THE year for the Rapture, especially because after 70 years, God inspects Israel. Spiritually, Jesus will again be INSPECTING THE FIG TREE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY GREEN FIGS upon it!

Passover and Purim

Referring back to Paul Dawson’s February 5 video, it very much caught my attention when he shared how the fast of Esther was during Passover!

I shared in The Die is Cast article how the religious leaders in Israel are expecting their Messiah to come (the first time) on Purim this year and how this could possibly point to the Resurrection/Rapture of the Overcoming Church occurring then!

On the Hebrew calendar Purim begins at sunset March 20 and is observed until sunset March 21. However, Passover 2019 will begin in the evening of Friday, April 19, and end the evening of Saturday, April 27. Israel’s 70^th anniversary year will be completed on May 14, 2019.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;

that where I am, [there] ye may be also. - John 14:2-3 KJV

The eager Bride has been watching and anticipating that any day now, the Bridegroom will come. He promised to make a Home for them and to come back for Her. The Holy Spirit has made Her ready and She longingly hopes They will have a Spring Wedding.

I ASKED THE LORD, WHEN IS THE RAPTURE? HE ANSWERED ME!

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. -James 5:8 KJV

Many things seemed to be pointing to a Hanukkah harpazo but this was not the case—at least not for 2018. So instead perhaps God is setting forth unmistakable markers (as others have mentioned before me) pointing to the two-part coming of Jesus Christ wanting to avoid full disclosure which would benefit the Enemy’s plans.

Rapture is Not a Date It’s an Event!

A video by Godshealer7 End Time Prophecy YT caught my attention this past week. Sister Barbara came out and asked the Lord, “When are we going?” When He answered her, it caused the hair on the back of her neck to stand up. He replied, “When the fire rains down, you’ll come up.” She went on to say that she realized that God’s timing is working on events and that the Rapture is not a date but an event. In other words, it is THE EVENT contingent upon other events happening first.

When the Fire Rains Down You’ll Come Up

In her video Sister Barbara speculates on what the “fire” might refer to, but I believe it is in reference to nuclear missiles which is what several other believers have been shown (see when the missiles come down we go up and also firecharger YTC's 2013 video).

Zechariah 5 gives convincing evidence that “fire” refers to nuclear warheads:

Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll.And he said to me, "What do you see?"

So I answered, "I see a flying scroll. Its length [is] twenty cubits and its width ten cubits."

Then he said to me, "This [is] the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: 'Every thief shall be expelled,' according [to] this side of [the scroll]; and, 'Every perjurer shall be expelled,' according [to] that side of it." - Zechariah 5:1-3 NKJV

"I will send out [the curse]," says the LORD of hosts; "It shall enter the house of the thief And the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. It shall remain in the midst of his house And consume it, with its timber and stones." - Zechariah 5:4 NKJV

The scroll is translated from the Hebrew word mĕgillah and refers to a single cylinder like that which holds scrolls (see image).  

Verse 4 says this cylinder will enter the house of certain people “And consume it, with its timber and stones.” What do we know of nowadays that is capable of this? Nuclear weapons.

The dimensions of this flying cylinder are similar to those of the warheads on the world’s most prolific nuclear SLBMs (Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile) and other long-range missiles!

Zechariah describes what he is seeing based on what he is familiar with, but he does not know what he is actually looking at as indicated by the next verse:

So I asked, "What [is] it?" And he said, "It [is] a basket that is going forth." He also said, "This [is] their resemblance throughout the earth: "Here [is] a lead disc lifted up, and this [is] a woman sitting inside the basket"; - Zechariah 5:6-7 NKJV

Let me bring your attention to the word translated woman. This comes from the Hebrew word 'ishshah which can be translated as woman or fire offering!

So you see where Sister Barbara’s prophetic word of the fire coming down could very well be referring to nuclear war. An excellent video explaining these verses is NUCLEAR WAR PROPHECY REVEALED!

 
Jubilee Marker

Back in 2017 I too asked the Lord whether He was coming for His Bride that year.

He did not give me a direct “Yes” or “No” answer, but I believe He wanted me to look into the Jubilee. . .

Wikipedia has very interesting information related to the Jubilee:

The Jubilee (Hebrew: יובל‎ yūḇāl; Yiddish: yoyvl) year is the year at the end of seven cycles of shmita (Sabbatical years), and according to Biblical regulations had a special impact on the ownership and management of land in the Land of Israel; there is some debate whether it was the 49th year (the last year of seven sabbatical cycles, referred to as the Sabbath's Sabbath), or whether it was the following (50th) year.[excerpt Wikipedia.org]

            [Excerpt from 2017 Final Jubilee?]

Exactly when the final Jubilee begins and ends is debatable but the Jubilee was celebrated in Jerusalem in 2017 and then Israel’s 70^th Anniversary on May 14, 2018. These were definite markers that we are closing in on the end of the fig tree generation!

I do not adhere to the legalistic aspect of the Hebrew roots movement, but have gleaned much from Ed Chumney’s information regarding The Seven Festivals wherein he wrote: “The ultimate fulfillment of the year of Jubilee will take place at the second coming of Messiah”. 

When They Go Up We Go Up

I think Gary at Unsealed, who wrote regarding the December 10 dedication of the Third Temple altar in Was the Covenant of Many Just Made?, is correct that this will go hand in hand with the Antichrist's plans as evidenced by the Pope (my False Prophet candidate) wanting to make Jerusalem the One World Religion Center.

The relationship between the False Prophet and the Antichrist is an interesting one. The Antichrist (political) empowers the False Prophet (religious). But ultimately the False Prophet causes the whole world to worship the Antichrist (Revelation 13:12). The False Prophet also encourages the people of the world to subscribe to the world financial and economic system and to receive the mark of the Beast (Antichrist) which gives them access to the financial system. Thus the global economy, global political authority and global religion become intertwined. This all happens in the name of unity which sounds good but is not. It is a bad unity because it is man-centered and is a unity against the Lord and His Christ. [Excerpt from discerningtheworld.com]

During the night of March 9, 2017, I awoke briefly and saw three python-sized snakes crawling up our bedroom wall. They were side by side and of equal length and width.

“What are You showing me, Lord?” I asked for I realized it was an open vision. The answer came immediately.

“These are the three main religions in the world rising up together. Soon they will entwine with one another to form the New World Religion.”

Today we can especially see how easy it would be for another trio to intertwine— religion, politics, and the economy—into one conglomerate global system controlled by the Antichrist.

The dress rehearsal and dedication of the altar for the Third Temple taking place earlier this week reminded me of another event we may be looking for:

Matthew Patrick Winfrey, a brother in Christ on Youtube who ministers in the Philippines, believes he was shown that “When you see the natural seed of Abraham ascend the natural Mount Zion, know that this is the sign that the spiritual seed of Abraham will ascend to the Heavenly Mount Zion”.

Brother Patrick added that this could either refer to when the Jews will be able to openly pray on the Temple Mount or it may refer to when the building of the Third Temple begins. 2018 Final Signs

  

4.4 Quake at 4:14 AM

I have a younger sister who lives north of Atlanta and she called to tell me how the 4.4 earthquake whose epicenter was in Tennessee woke her at around 4 o’clock that morning. I thought that was very interesting because of the significance of the number four:

. . . The number four always has reference to all that is created. . . . It is the number of things that have a beginning, of things that are made, of material things, and matter itself. It is the number of material completeness.

Four is the number of the great elements—earth, air, fire, and water.

Four are the regions of the earth—north, south, east, and west.

Four are the divisions of the day—morning, noon, evening, and midnight. Or in our Lord's words, when He speaks of His coming at evening, midnight, cock-crowing, or in the morning (Mark 13:35). We are never to put off His coming in our minds beyond tomorrow morning.

Four are the seasons of the year—spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Four are the great variations of the lunar phases.

Four marks division also. 

In the Apocalypse the same four cherubim are called Swa, "the living creatures" (Rev 4). These announce the Coming One; these sing of creation and of Him who created all things, and for whose pleasure they were created (Rev 4:11). Whenever they speak it is in connection with the earth. These call forth and announce the judgments or plagues (Rev 6) which issue on the ejection of the Usurper from the earth, and the destruction of them which destroy the earth, and in the exaltation and enthronement of Him when all the kingdoms of the world become the kingdom of our Lord and His anointed, and when the LORD God omnipotent reigneth. E. W. Bullinger

“All of creation is groaning. . .” and the groanings are increasing in preparation for the great shaking which will culminate in “THE BIRTH”. My point is—the “baby” is coming and there is nothing that is going to stop it from coming. Braxton-Hicks contractions do not go away but then develop into true labor pains—“as travail upon a woman with child” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

Occupy!

Oh, dear brethren! If only we understood better who we truly are in Christ Jesus. Recently, I was watching The Miracle—the true story of Herb Brooks, the player-turned-coach who led the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team to victory over the seemingly invincible Russian squad.

I was drifting into sleep when the movie reached the part where the coach (played by Kirk Russell) was giving a stirring pre-game speech to his team and said, “You were born to be hockey players”; but what I heard was as though the Holy Spirit shouted, “YOU WERE BORN TO BE OCCUPIERS!”

"You were born to be hockey players--I mean OCCUPIERS!"

I literally jumped up off the couch at this!

When I looked up where this word is used in Scripture, I found only ONE place in the New Testament:

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy [pragmateuomai] till I come. - Luke 19:13 KJV

Pragmateuomai means “to carry on a business”. This reminds me of what the young Jesus said to His earthly parents when they went looking for Him after He came up missing:

And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. - Luke 2:46 KJV

And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? - Luke 2:48-49 KJV

I don’t know about you, but I want to hear “Well done!” when I come before the Throne of God! As I wrote in Is the Rapture Earned?, our salvation will not be judged, but our works will be.

We were born to be the “occupying power” on earth, to be joint heirs with Christ, to rule and reign with Him during the Millennial Kingdom, and then who knows all that is in store for Eternity!

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. - Romans 8:16-19 KJV

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body. - Romans 8:22-23 KJV

Dispensational gears are changing--Do you have your ticket?

In the meantime we are to live like this is who we are! As our Brother Todd shared--When You've Done All You Can to Stand, THEN STAND! Stand boldly! Stand in faith KNOWING He keeps His promises! I fully agree with what Todd said:

“You can see the dispensational gears starting to collide and grind because what we have is the next dispensation starting to churn and the Age of Grace starting to END!”

We have MUCH TO LOOK UPWARD FOR AND FORWARD TO, SAINTS!

Gold Falling on the Gentiles!

Gold and Gems

“Gold is falling on the Gentiles,” said the stunned rabbi to Henry Gruver. Henry had just finished prayer walking throughout Jerusalem and had been resting on a bench when this rabbi sat next to him and began a conversation. Henry asked the rabbi what he thought about how in 1989 gold was falling from heaven upon people who were worshipping Jesus, and was Henry surprised by his answer!

“In the ancient Hebrew,” replied the elderly rabbi, “before the bridegroom comes to take his bride, he always sends her a gift of gold by midnight.” Six Hours in Heaven and Jesus Coming Soon!

Yahshua, our Heavenly Bridegroom, has been showering His (mostly) Gentile Bride with gold at least since 1989 to signal His promise to return for Her. Ten years later in 1999 I too experienced a gift of gold from Heaven.

About another decade after that, my daughter shared how a friend of hers found a large diamond in her Bible while worshipping in a service. Recently, a friend of mine sent pictures of gems from Heaven others had received.

Is this Scriptural?

The Book of Genesis relates the story of the servant of Abraham, who, after his request for Rebecca to marry Isaac was granted, “brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebecca; he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things” (Genesis 24:53).

Jesus has been signaling His return for His Beloved for quite some time now. There is no definite sign of the catching away--harpazo--or rapture of the Overcoming Church ; however, the ULTIMATE SIGN of the coming of Jacob’s Trouble has occurred and by default it signals the soon rapture because the Bride of Christ is NOT appointed to Jacob’s Trouble (related article: Saved from Wrath):

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. - Isaiah 66:7 KJV

Isaiah 66:7 foretells the birth of a man child that will occur BEFORE travail—BEFORE Jacob’s Trouble. This prophecy has a dual fulfillment (physical and spiritual) as the commentary by A. R. Fausset agrees. The first time this was fulfilled was when Israel became a nation state overnight (Isaiah 66:8). The second fulfillment will be when the man child of Revelation 12:5 is caught up (harpazo):

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne. - Revelation 12:5 KJV

The promise to this man child that he will rule all nations was given by Jesus Christ Himself:

And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. - Revelation 2:26-27 KJV

Revelation 12:1-2—Sign of Jacob’s Trouble

The sign of the travailing woman in 2017 (Revelation 12:1-2), as I have stated before, was THE ULTIMATE SIGN of the coming of Jacob’s Trouble. The war that is now brewing with Israel and Iran as I write this article I believe is a prelude to this and may be the start of the fulfillment of Psalm 83:

“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from [being] a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.” -Psalm 83:4 KJV

If my understanding of Psalm 83 is correct, Israel’s Defense Force will be victorious. Even well known scholars do not claim to have Israel’s prophesied wars all figured out, but to see what conclusion they have come to read This Means WAR!

It is my opinion that Israel does not give the Lord credit for their Psalm 83 victory which opens the door to the Gog-Magog attack. In line with brother Salus I believe Israel as a nation will continue to reject the true Messiah and instead return to the Law and the rebuilding of the Temple. It will not be until Israel has seen the abomination of desolation by the Antichrist (which occurs 3-1/2 years into the 7-year Tribulation) and escaped into the wilderness that her people will come to believe on Y’shua as their Messiah. This Means WAR!

Tachos—Acceleration Time 

The Spirit of Christ has been revealing to God’s people that the world is about to enter or has already entered a time of acceleration and the coming Great Harvest (SEASON OF THE OVERCOMER!). Just as in the birth process when a woman goes from erratic Braxton-Hicks contractions then into actual labor, the world will quickly move from the past few years of pre-Tribulation pains into the actual tumultuous 70^th week of Daniel—The Tribulation. The Lord has shown me and many others within the Body of Christ that the exponential increase in catastrophic disasters and war will be the impetus for the Great Harvest.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John: - Revelation 1:1 KJV

“Tachos” is the Greek word that is translated “shortly” in the above verse. It is pronounced a bit differently than the stuffed folded tortilla we call “tacos”. These two words actually have something in common--tachos refers to something coming to pass “quickly, shortly, speedily” and tacos are a food you can make quickly. At least that is how I remember what tachos means. . .

A tachometer measures revolution per minute, so Jesus here was showing us that when we see things revving up with the beginning of pains (referred to as Braxton-Hicks contractions in human labor), know that the TRUE LABOR IS CLOSE BEHIND! Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

End of Fig Tree Generation

With the deaths of prominent men of God such as Bob Jones, Billy Graham, and recently Chuck Missler, the Lord seems to be pointing to the end of the Age of Grace. The most significant thing signaling this, however, is the coming celebration for Israel of the 70th Anniversary of the replanting of their nation state this coming May 14.

That means the time of acceleration cannot be very long. Since 2017 Israel has been celebrating anniversaries fulfilling every definition of a generation:

". . . the first Zionist Congress (120th), the Balfour Declaration (100th), the UN General Assembly Partition Resolution (70th), the Six-Day War (50th), Anwar Sadat’s visit to Jerusalem (40th), and the first intifada (30th)." (Source: timesofisrael.com)

Disregarding untimely or unnatural deaths due to epidemics, famine, and war, there is evidence in the Scriptures and in recent history to support a 70 to 80 year life span for the past 3000 years. . .

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:  We spend our years as a tale that is told.  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off and we fly away. -Psalm 90:9,10 khouse.org/willweseechristsreturn

If we assume that a generation is 70 to 80 years long today, that means there is only 10 years within which the 7-year Tribulation must take place because Jesus said that all He foretold in Matthew 24 would take place before the end of the “fig tree” generation:

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:

So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Matthew 24:32-34 KJV

The Heavenly Wedding

My conjecture is the time of acceleration may be 3 years long or less. With events related to Israel heating up, there may not be much time left at all to extend the wedding invitation to the lost before the rapture of the Bride of Christ, which will most likely occur simultaneously with the start of Jacob’s Trouble (watch J.D. Farag's EXCERPT from April 29, 2018, Prophecy Update). 

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. Matthew 22:8-10 KJV

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: - Matthew 22:11 KJV

It is my belief that only those who are clothed upon with the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49) will be swept up by the Bridegroom and taken to Heaven for the great wedding.

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. - Revelation 3:5 KJV

How I yearn for His coming. It won’t be long now. . .

Caveat: This blog is an attempt to share my spiritual journey and my understanding of the Scriptures. In the past few years that learning curve has been mostly in eschatology or the study of the end times. I do not pretend to have this all figured out. Also, I do not necessarily agree with all the beliefs of anyone whose material I reference. I seek to be led of the Spirit of God as to the sources I use, however, even Spirit-filled Christians only 'see in part' as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.
