Hi:

 

Thank you so much for your post. I agree with you. I will elaborate on what you said.

 

> > Jesus said in Matthew 24: 33 “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things know that it is near, even at the doors.”

> > And again repeated in Mark 13: 29 “So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.”

> > Since "doors" is plural, does that mean that there are two Raptures?

Yes.  I am totally convinced that there are two Raptures. I think the First-Trump Rapture for the Bride of Christ is as the days of Noah. It comes Mid-Trib. The Last-Trump Rapture is as the days of Lot. It comes on the Day of the Lord at the end of the shortened Great Tribulation.

 

Mat 24:37-42 says, “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.”

 

Luk 17:26-37 says, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days (i.e., plural) of the Son of man. 27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed (i.e., when they see the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky). 31  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32  Remember Lot's wife. 33  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34  I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35  Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36  Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 37  And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is (i.e., the Body of Christ is in Heaven), thither will the eagles be gathered together.”

 

Exo_19:4 says, “Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.”

 

The First-Trump Rapture is as the days of Noah. All in the Ark were married. Even the animals went in two by two. Mention of marriage is omitted for the days of Lot. His wife was turned into a pillar of salt because she looked back after being told not to. Even Lot argued about fleeing to the mountain, which would have painted a more accurate picture of the Last-Trump Rapture. Sodom and Gomorrah were reduced to ashes by an asteroid impact that split the Earth forming the Great Rift Valley that runs from the East Anatolian Fault in Turkey to Lake Nyassa in Africa, and punched down the bedrock at the Dead Sea.

 

“Its surface and shores are 429 metres (1,407 ft) below sea level, Earth's lowest elevation on land. The Dead Sea is 304 m (997 ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea)

 

The impact of the asteroid Wormwood (Rev. 8:11) will take place on the day of the Last-Trump Rapture.

 

Rev 18:4 says, “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

 

Rev 18:21 says, “And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon (i.e., literal Babylon near the Euphrates) be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.”

 

Mat_24:37-42 says, “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.”

 

Luk_17:26-31 says, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.”

 

THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEEN IN THE SKY ON THE DAY OF THE LAST-TRUMP RAPTURE

 

Besides the asteroid Wormwood, a rock the size of a mountain (Rev. 8.8) will impact the Mediterranean Sea causing a tsunami that will stop Gog’s army.

 

Eze 38:18-23 says, “And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. 19  For in my jealousy and in the fire of MY WRATH have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 20  So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence (paniym, face), and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 21  And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. 22  And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.”

 

Eze 39:1-4 says, “Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2  And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 3  And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 4  Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.”

 

SOLOMON’S TEMPLE HAD TWO DOORS

 

1 Ki 6:32 says, “The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold”.

 

TWO TRUMPETS ARE “FOR THE CALLING OF THE ASSEMBLY, AND FOR THE JOURNEYING OF THE CAMPS”

 

Num 10:1-4 says, “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2  Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. 3  And when they shall blow with them (i.e., both), all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4  And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel (i.e., the elders), shall gather themselves unto thee.”

 

THE CALLING OF THE ASSEMBLY

 

Heb 12:22-24 says, “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23  To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24  And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant”.

 

THE FIRST TRUMP

 

1Th 4:16,17 says, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with THE TRUMP OF GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

 

THE LAST TRUMP

 

1Co 15:51-54 says, “Behold, I shew 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 TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall 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 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.”

 

THE TWO “COME UP HITHER”S

 

Rev. 4:1 and 11:12. The first happens Mid-Trib, and the last happens on the Day of the Lord at the end of the Great Tribulation.

 

Rev 4:1-4 says, “After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, COME UP HITHER, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2  And immediately I was (lit., became) in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3  And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper (i.e., last stone in the breastplate) and a sardine stone (first stone in the breastplate, i.e., this is Jesus, the first and the last): and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald (Judah’s stone in the breastplate, i.e., Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah). 4  And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty ELDERS sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.”

 

Rev 11:11-13 says, “And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them (i.e., Moses and Elijah), and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12  And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, COME UP HITHER. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13  And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.”

 

WE CAN BE SURE THE FIRST RAPTURE HAPPENS IN THE TRIBULATION

 

Rev 1:9-11 says, “I John, who also am your brother, and companion IN TRIBULATION, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos (meaning mortal), for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10  I was (lit., became) in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11  Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last”.

 

IN THE TRIBULATION, ALL SEVEN CANDLESTICKS ARE SEEN WITH CHRIST IN HEAVEN

 

Rev 1:12-18 says, “And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13  And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14  His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15  And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16  And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17  And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18  I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

 

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST IS ARRANGED AROUND THE FIRST RAPTURE

 

Rev 1:19 says, “Write the things which thou hast seen (i.e., before the Rapture), and the things which are (i.e., at the time of the Rapture), and the things which shall be hereafter” (i.e., after the Rapture).

 

CHRIST WILL JUDGE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD AT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES

 

Act 10:42,43 says, “And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43  To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”

 

2Ti 4:1 says, “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead AT HIS APPEARING (i.e., at the First-Trump Rapture Mid-Trib) AND HIS KINGDOM” (i.e., at the Last-Trump Rapture on the Day of the Lord, which is when he is given his millennial kingdom).

 

In 2Ti 4:6-8, Paul said, “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” (i.e., at the First-Trump Rapture).

 

Rev 7:13-17 says, “What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14  And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of GREAT TRIBULATION, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15  Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16  They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17  For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”

 

IN THE FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURE, THEY ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT SHALL COME TO PASS AT THE END OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION

 

> > Jesus gave us a command to “…watch and pray always,” that we “… may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” (Luke 21: 36)

> > It is here implied that there will be those persons who will be translated into the immediate presence of the Son of man, that is, by being caught up to him in the clouds, (The Rapture.)

IN THE LAST-TRUMP RAPTURE, THE LORD WILL WIPE AWAY THEIR TEARS

> > Something of the same sort is intimated in Isaiah 26:20, where God's peculiar people are called up… “Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past.”

Isa 26:19-21 says, “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. 20  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 21  For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.”

 

THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS WILL BE THE DAY OF THE LORD, THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB, AND WHEN THE FRIENDS OF THE BRIDEGROOM WILL BE INVITED TO THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB

 

Joe 2:15-18 says, “Blow the trumpet in Zion (i.e., on the Feast of Trumpets), sanctify a fast (i.e., the upcoming Day of Atonement), call a solemn assembly: 16  Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet (chuppah, canopy). 17  Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? 18  Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.”

 

Rev 19:6-9 says, “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.”

 

Psa 45:14 says, “She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.”

 

The wise virgins will be caught up in the First-Trump Rapture. The foolish virgins will be caught up in the Last-Trump Rapture.

> > Compare Psalms 27:5-6, 31:20, 32:6-7, 45:14.

Psa 27:5 says, “For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.”

 

The SECRET OF HIS TABERNACLE is that the Holy of Holies represents the third heaven, Saturn, a rock with very thick cloud cover and rings that look like a rainbow.

 

2Co 12:2-4 says, “I knew a man (i.e., Paul himself, he didn’t want to boast) in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven (1. Mars, 2. Jupiter, and 3. Saturn).  3  And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)  4  How that he was caught up into paradise (i.e., Heaven), and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.”

 

Eze 1:1 says, “the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.”

 

Eze 1:26-28 says, “And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone (i.e., sapphire means dear to the planet Saturn, from the Sanskrit Sani, Saturn, and priya, dear): and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man (i.e., the only God/man is Jesus) above upon it. 27  And I saw as the colour of amber (i.e., Saturn is amber), as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins (i.e., from the equator) even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness (i.e., Saturn’s rings) round about. 28  As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD.”

 

THE MID-TRIB RAPTURE OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

> >The doctrine of the Scriptures seems to be, that only those who are devoutly looking and waiting for the Savior's return shall be taken at first, (This will be the Bride of Christ), whilst all others are left to suffer in the Great Tribulation, which will continue at least three years and a half.

Those wearing white robes will be caught up in the First-Trump Rapture. The rest will wash their robes in the blood of Christ and be caught up in the Last-Trump Rapture. The Great Tribulation will be shortened.

> > See Hebrews 9:28; and Revelation 12:13-14, 15:5, 11:3.

Heb 9:28 says, “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”

 

Rev 12:13,14 says, “And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth (i.e., Mid-Trib), he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14  And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness (eremos, desert), into her place (i.e., Petra), where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.”

 

Rev 15:1-7 says, “And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 2  And I saw as it were a sea of glass (hualinos, glassy, transparent, i.e., Saturn’s ice-crystal ring system) mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3  And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 4  Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. 5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 6  And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. 7  And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.”

 

THE “RISE” IN REV. 11:1 IS THE SAME AS THE “COME UP HITHER” IN REV. 4:1

 

Rev 10:11 says, “And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”

 

Therefore, the “COME UP HITHER” in Rev. 4:1 is the same as the “RISE” in Rev. 11:1. It is the First-Trump Rapture.

 

Rev 11:1-3 says, “And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2  But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.”

 

The “COME UP HITHER” in Rev. 11:12 is the Last-Trump Rapture.

 

Rev 11:12,13 says, “And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them (i.e., Moses and Elijah), COME UP HITHER. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13  And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.”

 

> > Personally coming from a Pentecostal background I was taught that there is only one Rapture. My question today as we live in the Laodicean age is this… Are the carnal Christians who are partying and ignoring the imminent Rapture going to be taken along with those who are preparing themselves by overcoming their sin on a daily basis?

 

I was raised Methodist, but attended the First Baptist Church one year with my parents when we moved from Terre Haute, Indiana to Kingsport, TN. When that turned out to be my husband’s church, I joined it. Later, after we moved to La Mirada, California, I read books from BIOLA’s Seminary Collection for 7 years. I was steeped in one Pre-Trib Rapture doctrine. However, I could see that there were two Raptures long ago.

 

Lately, my Bible studies finally convinced me that the first Rapture is Mid-Trib instead of Pre-Trib. The first half of the Tribulation is DAY, and the Great Tribulation is NIGHT. We are not of the NIGHT.

 

1Th 5:1-11 says, “But of the times and the seasons, brethren (i.e., believers), ye have no need that I write unto you. 2  For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DAY: WE ARE NOT OF THE NIGHT, nor of darkness. 6  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7  For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10  Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11  Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”

 

SATAN IS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN AT THE TIME OF THE MID-TRIB RAPTURE

 

Rev 12:10-17 says, “I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time (i.e., the shortened Great Tribulation). 13  And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (i.e., Israel) which brought forth the man child (i.e., Jesus). 14  And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness (eremos, desert), into her place (i.e., Petra), where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (i.e., during the Great Tribulation), from the face of the serpent. 15  And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth (otherwise, Petra floods easily).  17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

 

ESTHER, WHICH MEANS STAR, WAS TAKEN UNTO KING AHASUERUS, WHICH MEANS PRINCE, HEAD, CHIEF, IN THE TENTH MONTH, TEBETH/TEVETH/TEVET

 

> > Est 2:16  So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

> > Est 2:17  And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti”.

 

WE NEED TO BE READY AT ALL TIMES

 

Mat 24:42-44 says, “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”
