In The Twinkling Of An Eye! Important and Most Informative Video On The Rapture ! (Pastor Billy Crone) - Inspirational Weekend

 

 "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, as at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.   So when this corruptible shall have put on immortality,  then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."                    -     1 Corinthians 15:51-54    

Yes, another article and video on the soon Rapture! This video you do NOT want to miss! You will really enjoy how informative this 29 minute video is -  Pastor Billy Crone explains clearly here how the Old Testament (in Daniel,) talked about the The Great Tribulation as being, in reality, "Jacob's Trouble", meaning it was meant for the Jewish Nation and that a remnant of the Jews at that time would be saved during or at the end of the Tribulation (realizing Jesus as the true Messiah).  The main point is, the Tribulation will be for the Jews primarily (some Gentiles left behind from missing the Rapture will be there, of course, during the Trib. and will be saved by faith in Jesus - said faith occurring during the Trib.)  Please listen to Pastor Crone's explanation as to why that fact - that the 7 year Tribulation is for the Jews primarily - argues against  the belief that any Christians alive today will be going through any part of the horrors of that 7 year period. (In other words, Jesus will rapture the Christians to heaven prior  to the Tribulation!)   Pastor Crone is always very informative yet very clear and easy to comprehend in his explanations.  And very much in line with what the Bible tells us!!     The following video is by prophecywatchers.com, and the host Gary Stearman's discussion with Pastor Crone.

Time is short!

Look around you today and witness Bible Prophecy coming true now !

Jesus loves you and wants to hear from you!

If you turn to Him in faith right now and believe that He only is the way, the truth, and the life -  

Guess what?! 

Jesus will welcome you with arms wide open and embrace you with love and forgiveness !!

Following are Salvation Scriptures for those not yet saved -  that have not yet put their faith and belief in Jesus as the Savior.  They must realize that Jesus paid their sin debt in full when He died and shed His precious blood - as the Lamb of God - so that He ransomed them, something only He could do, because none of us can save ourselves-  our sin debt is too enormous and only the  Sacrificial death of the Son of God can wipe the slate clean and pay our debt for us !   You must repent and pray for forgiveness, and believe with all of your very being that Jesus is the Savior !  

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."   -    John 14:6

Have a blessed and Christ centered weekend - and Life !!

Recent Video with Billy Crone On Today's Technoloy And How It All Fits In With Bible Prophecy

This is hoping everyone is hanging in there!  We Christians have a joyful hope that soon we will be with the Lord -  When He returns to take us to heaven in the Rapture of the Church (of true believers in Jesus as the Savior) !!

Meantime, we need to make sure we stay close to the good Lord by much prayer and much Bible reading.

"Dance with abandon, sing at the top of your lungs, give a shout of joy!  Jesus has risen and because He has risen, we have risen with Him from death to life!  Hallelujah!"  - author unknown

Many today are full of fear as to what the future holds.  Ponder the following at Psalm 34:4 :

"I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."

Matthew Henry comments on Psalm 34:4 as the following portion of his commentary says: "Because the thing we fear is not our trouble only, but our unbelieving distrustful fear of it is our sin, nay, it is more our torment too than the thing itself would be."

This is a short post mainly to share today's recent 29 minute video by prophecywatchers.com, and a discussion between the host Gary Stearman and his guest Pastor Billy Crone.  It is concerning the technology of today and how it relates to what was prophesied in the Bible, such as the image of the beast and a cashless society.   It is chock full of fascinating and informative information.

"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit." -  Romans 15:13

"And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart."  -   Jeremiah 29:13

"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."   -  Psalm 16:11

"Then spake Jesus unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life."  -  John 8:12

"When The Rapture Occurs, What Will Jesus Find You Doing?" (Two Important Videos)

[Laniakea Beach (Turtle Beach) - Oahu, Hawaii]

The title of this post, "When the Rapture Occurs, What Will Jesus Find You Doing?" is almost a direct quote from one of the videos in this article today.  Here is praying that you take the time to watch both videos shown.

Also, for recent important information on the pandemic, scroll down one post to my previous article on the coronavirus which has also included in it many comforting Scriptures to help us to endure.

On account of the recent advice to stay home as much as possible (and in some countries it is mandatory quarantine) because of the coronavirus pandemic, that may be where Jesus will find you when He comes to take His Bride (the Church, true believers) to be with Him in heaven.  But the main idea is, hopefully, that Jesus will find you sharing the Gospel and living as holy a life as you possibly can in this imperfect world.  ( I am not saying that Jesus will return right now, although it is possible.  Only the Heavenly Father knows the day and the hour of Jesus' return.  (Matthew 24:36)  It would be a good idea if you took the time to read all of Matthew 24)

"According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:"   -   Ephesians 1:4

"But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."  -   1 Peter 1:15,16

Following is an excellent 8 minute sermon clip titled "Jesus is Coming".  In this sermon, Pastor David Wilkerson tells us why Jesus has not come yet.  There are many gems spoken in this wonderful sermon clip !

One subject in the above video asks the question, "Where is your security?"  Hopefully it is in Christ alone !

The other video features Pastor Billy Crone in an interview with Gary Stearman at prophecywatchers.com.  In only about 29 minutes they discuss many topics concerning modern technology and also the technology possibly used by the antichrist during the 7 year Tribulation.  I found it fascinating to watch this video, and it makes it clear that the Rapture of the true believers must be very, very soon!

Are you Rapture ready?

Have you given your life and heart to the good Lord?

Have you repented of your sins and come to Him with a belief that He is the Savior, and the only way to the Father and heaven?

We are not talking here about intellectual knowledge concerning Jesus.  Many unbelievers have a head knowledge that Jesus is the Savior and that He is the Son of God, yet they do not put their faith in Him, as many of them have "pet sins" which they are unwilling to give up and therefore want no part of Jesus, as it would interfere with their wicked lifestyles. We, who turn to Jesus, are to believe that His death on the Cross paid our sin debt in full, and we are forgiven if we surrender our lives to Him.   This is a strong, heartfelt belief -  a belief with all of your very being - that Jesus alone can save us, and that by our faith and trust in Him, by believing that His death at Calvary, and His shed blood there on our behalf, can wash away our sins.... all of them, past, present, and future.  The slate is wiped clean; we are pure in God's sight through Jesus' redemptive work at the Cross.  He took on all the sins of the world at His crucifixion.   What Love!!

[Beach at Ko Olina Resort, Oahu, Hawaii]

Repent and turn to Jesus in faith and love and gratitude to Him for all He has done for you.

Time is running out!

"(For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)"  -     2 Corinthians 6:2

Romans 10: 9.10,13 tells us: (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

"Jesus saith unto him,  I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."   -  John 14:6

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,  that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."    -   John 3:16

Jesus is waiting to hear from you!

He will welcome you into the family of God with love and forgiveness !

He will embrace you with comfort and peace!

It's Getting Close! (With Video On End Times, The Third Temple, And President Trump)

My above photograph was taken at the Dole Cannery grounds on Oahu, Hawaii.  Scenes such as this is one reason why Hawaii is called paradise.   And the heavenly paradise is at hand for true believers in Jesus Christ.   

Previously I had posted a video by author and pastor Billy Crone about end times and the third temple and the antichrist.  Go here to view that article and video.

The video below is Part 2 of that subject, again featuring pastor Billy Crone who is interviewed again by prophecywatchers.com host Gary Stearman.  It is a 29 minute discussion which, when you watch it all, will leave you in no doubt that Jesus, the Savior, will soon rapture all Christians to be in heaven with Him.

They cover many topics in this video, and stress how close we are to the Rapture.  If the Jewish people have everything ready to build the third temple, then the time of the believers' departure is soon to occur because the new temple is built during the 7 year Tribulation period, and Christians will be taken to heaven by Jesus before the Tribulation begins.

Granted, there are many other signs of the last days happening right now which also let us know our Lord is returning very soon.  Read Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13 about those signs.   We do not know the day or the hour of Jesus' return, but He gave us signs which tell us that we are in the "season" of His return.

It is getting close, friends !!

Are you prepared for Jesus' return?

The only way true believers are to be prepared is to have a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior.  If you are born again, you can rest assured that you will enter those pearly gates.

We should not vegetate and do nothing, however.  The good Lord expects us to be occupied and busy winning souls and preaching the Gospel.  If you are a believer, and you realize the Lord could return any time now for His Bride, the Church, you will be on fire to witness to lost souls.  

Romans 10:9,10,13 tells us: (9)  "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10)For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)  -  2 Corinthians 6:2

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.  And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.  Believest thou this?"  -  John 11:25-26

"Jesus saith unto him,  I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."   -  John 14:6

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."   -  John 3:16 

Time Is Running Out - Israel, The Third Temple, And End Times (With Video)

Sometimes I wonder what I can do to be more effective in warning people that we are living in the end times, and that time is truly running out.  Many people - despite the desperate and chaotic and evil happenings prevalent in today's world -  still carry on their daily affairs as if nothing is about to happen; as if things are even "normal" and that they are immune to the events that are prophesied in the Bible that will soon occur.  Many people are so involved in their every day life and cares of this world, that they cannot see beyond their own immediate concerns.

The good Lord has given me a sense of urgency to share the Gospel and to warn people that we are now in the last hour of the last days. Much evidently falls on deaf ears.  Many scoff at the idea of Jesus returning soon for His Bride (the Church) and the fact that He will take them to heaven to be with Him when the Rapture occurs.  Even this scoffing is a fulfillment  of Bible prophecy.

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of His coming?  for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."  -  2 Peter 3: 3-4

I have written many articles about Bible prophecy and the end times, the Rapture and the Tribulation.  To read more, go to the "Search Box" in the top right hand side of this post and type in a search request and several articles will pop up for you to view.

Following is an article from raptureready.com about how "Times are bad and getting worse".  Wake up !  Be ready for the Lord's return.  Go here to read that article.   The author quotes Scriptures about end times prophecies pertaining to us today.  

Below is a 29 minute video from prophecywatchers.com with host Gary Stearman  interviewing pastor and author Billy Crone about Trump, the Temple, and the antichrist and much more.

Israel believes that President Trump was put in power by the hand of God.  Many Americans believe the same.  The eternal covenants God made with Israel in ancient times indicate that He is not done with Israel and will intervene to bring about His plans for that chosen people.  Indeed, the good Lord is already at work for the Jewish people.   Look at the miracles from Him in the 1967 six day war!

Christians are to view these end time signs as proof of the Lord's soon return.  Please read about these signs in Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13.

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."    -  Luke 21:28

"And take heed to yourselves lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.  Watch ye, therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."   -   Luke 21: 34-36

Are you born again?  (John 3:3).  Have you surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, the Savior?

Have you repented of your sins?  

Do you believe that Jesus is the Savior and that He is the only way to the Father and to heaven?

"Jesus answered and said unto him,  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."  -  John 3:3

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."   -  John 3:16

"Jesus saith unto him,  I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."  -   John 14:6

A War On Christians - We Are In A Battle Against Satan (Video)

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.  Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual wickedness in high places.  Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."   -  Ephesians 6:10-13

In the above verses, it is plain the apostle Paul is speaking of the devil as well as wicked demons.  It can be a frightful thought to do battle with satan.  But you must remember,  that if you are a Christian you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you to help you and protect you.....you cannot be demon possessed.   You may suffer some oppression from the evil one, however.   That is why we need to pray daily as well as read the Bible, God's Holy Word.  Your faith as a born again Christian  - faith in Jesus - will see you through; or should I rather say,  the Lord Himself will see you through and protect you.   

This spiritual warfare with satan and his demons is not preached in most modern day churches.   In fact, even some pastors do not believe in the devil as being real.  This suits satan to a tee because he can better deceive people (Christians as well as unbelievers) if they don't believe that he exists.  But if you are a true Christian and read your Bible, you should know that the devil is real and is out to lure you away from the Lord's work.   

Following is an excellent discussion on this subject from prophecyinthenews.com in an interview with Pastor Billy Crone:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZT7kU96U5g

Let us fill our hearts and minds with the Word of God and pray without ceasing ( 1 Thessalonians 5:17)  so that we may stand strong and are not deceived by the evil one.  The devil knows his time is short, and he is angry and is seeking to devour all whom he may.   

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"     - 1 Peter 5:8

So put on the "whole armor of God" to fight strong in this satanic war on Christians.                         (Ephesians 6:13-18).  

"Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you."  -  James 4:7

"It Is Later Than You Think" - Inspirational Weekend

The above young White-Rumped Shama Thrush looks alert and like he is paying attention to his surroundings and is ready to take action, if need be.   Oh, how we need to pay attention to all the signs around us which scream out at us, "Wake up!  End times are here!  Be ready for Jesus' return!"

I have written much about the Rapture and the 7-year Tribulation.  (Go to the search box above and to the right and type in a subject). I will continue to write about the end times right up to the time I either die or I am raptured to heaven, whichever comes first.   There is a sense of urgency in my heart and soul that compels me to warn people that we are living in the last hours of the last days.   

Unfortunately, many people are so caught up in the affairs and cares of everyday living, that any notion of it all ending soon just floats on by them in an unreal, dreamlike state of non-concern and even of unbelief that it could be true that these are the last days.  That falls right into the schemes of the devil; to keep people from realizing that time is running out.  The evil one also tries to keep us so busy, busy, busy that we do not have time for Bible reading and prayer, whereby we could grow to maturity in the faith and be able to endure and persevere to the end.

"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."   -  Jesus speaking at Matthew 24:13

Following is a recent video https://prophecywatchers.com featuring Billy Crone and his views on the soon to happen Tribulation.  He believes that prophecy can wake up the Church and motivate us to share the gospel and to live godly lives.   In many cases, and in many churches, the Christians are asleep where prophecy is concerned.

Billy Crone feels that God wants us to know the future because He built the future and wants to give us a hope of a glorious future with Him....that is, if we are true believers.  Human beings cannot exist without hope; the heavenly Father gives us a hope and a reason to live.  That is one more indication of His immense love for us.

"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth  into that within the veil;"   -  Hebrews 6:19

"And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."  -  Romans 5:5   

"There is an intimate connection between the life of the Christian here and the enjoyment and the glory in the day of Christ's appearing."  -  George Muller

Regarding the Rapture of the Church, C. S. Lewis has said,  "Precisely because we cannot predict the moment, we must be ready at all moments."

The Rapture will precede the 7-year Tribulation, because believers are not appointed to suffer God's wrath in the Tribulation.  

"Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."      -  Romans 5:9

"For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,"                            -  1 Thessalonians 5:9

Perhaps there are some scoffers reading this now, that do not believe in Bible prophecy and say,  "Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."  -  2 Peter 3:4

It is well to point out that today all things are NOT the same as they were a few years ago.... not even 10 or 20 years ago.   Read the news in one hand and the Bible in another (figuratively speaking) and you will comprehend that what the Bible prophesied to happen in the last days is indeed occurring now....a convergence of all the end times signs happening all at once, as Jesus told us would be the case in Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13.

Why take a chance and scoff at the prospect of a soon Rapture of the Church, which is followed by the fearsome and devastating seven year Tribulation?   Open your heart and ask God for discernment.  What if all the Bible tells us is going to happen is really true?   - which it is, because God cannot lie  (Titus 1:2).  If you remain unyielding and do not surrender to Jesus and do not believe in Him with all your heart and soul as your Savior, Lord, and Master; then you will be left behind (after the Rapture of true believers) to face and endure a time of trouble and wrath like the world has never seen before when the Tribulation period occurs.

Why take the chance of being stubborn and hard-hearted and thereby suffer in hell for all eternity?   Ask God to open your eyes of understanding and to teach you the truth as you read the Bible.   Admit that you are a sinner and that you need a Savior (Romans 6:23).  Repent of your sins (Mark 1:15).  Put your trust and faith in Jesus to save you and believe on Him for eternal life (John 3:16).

The Lord has made it simple.   But it requires faith and surrender to Him to make redemption possible.   He will not force you.  Repentance and Faith must come from your heart.

God loves you.

Jesus is waiting to take you by the hand and call you His own.

Don't delay.

Tomorrow may be too late.


"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."    -  John 3:16

Billy Crone On The Imminent Rapture - Pre-trib, Pre-wrath, Mid-trib, Post-trib; Which ? - Informative Video

So many Christians are in a "battle" with each other over whether the Rapture of the Church will occur before the Tribulation, or somewhere during or even after the seven-year Tribulation.  We need to spend less time debating about all this and more time in evangelizing and saving souls from hell, so says Billy Crone in the following video and I entirely agree with him on that.   He shares excellent Scriptures and reasons to support his view, which is that the Rapture will occur prior to the tribulation period.   Please watch the entire video as it is chock full of fantastic information.

I mention the Rapture often, because it is closer to happening than ever before, the way Bible prophecy is being fulfilled at such a fast pace now....many things converging all at one time.   My hope is that the Scriptures and the videos I share will bring others to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior before the Tribulation.  After the trib. begins, it will be more difficult to do so; you will be subject to mistreatment in the antichrist's one world government, and you must choose to be martyred rather than to take the Mark of the Beast.  (Revelation 13:16-18).  Those who take the Mark of the Beast in order to buy and sell and to keep from starving will lose their very souls.   You do not want to go through the Tribulation !!  More information about this may be read here.

In the video above, Billy Crone focuses primarily on the Rapture and the reason for the Pre-Tribulation belief, which he explains thoroughly.   I like how he says that Jesus would not "beat up" His Bride (the Church) before He "married her" (in heaven) by causing her to suffer any part of the Tribulation.    

"For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,"                      -  1 Thessalonians 5:9

"Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."        -  Romans 5:9

"For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry."  -  Hebrews 10:37
