IS A MASSIVE QUAKE, THE "BIG ONE", SOON FORTHCOMING TO LOS ANGELES /BABYLON?
Examining facts and current events with Scripture, it appears that the following may be lining up:
-Los Angeles appears to be representative of Revelation's Babylon, which falls "in one hour".
-A massive quake,"The Big One", may soon be forthcoming to Los Angeles.
- This possible mega quake may precede the Rapture and bring ALL the virgins (Christians), to the awareness that Jesus is indeed coming:
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/05/importance-of-watching-for-signs-of-end.html
-The reason why the "foolish virgins" are unable to procure enough oil in time is because they foolishly do not recognize that they are adulteresses, loving the world more than they do God:
"You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God" James 4:4
-Being unable to recognize their lifestyle of sin (love of the world), they do not know to even repent of it even when they see Jesus is indeed on His way. No repentance, no forgiveness.
-These are the lukewarm who the Lord will vomit from His mouth into the Tribulation.
"So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth" Revelation 3:16
"Rotten smell blankets Los Angeles"

Therefore, CALIFORNIA and Los Angeles in particular, may soon be the site of world changing earthquakes.
May all who live there, repent!
May all people everywhere, REPENT and PUT GOD OVER THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD, LOVING AND FORGIVING ALL!
"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 21:36

PART 3-GOD'S PROPHETIC PLAN REVEALED IN THESE VERY LAST DAYS!
Before reading any further, please read the previous two parts to this three part series, linked immediately below.
The astounding facts contained within them are the foundation for which this last of the series is built upon:
Part 1- http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2012/03/gods-prophetic-plan-revealed-in-these.html
Part 2- http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2012/04/gods-prophetic-plan-revealed-in-these.html
Next, we will investigate a newly discovered pattern regarding seismic activity. This pattern has now been recognized to have been in effect for at least 200 years, since the beginning of the modern day recording of earthquakes.
The below video details this stunning new revelation regarding the historical evidence, proving the "188 day" cycle of major quakes.

Next, we will investigate a newly discovered pattern regarding seismic activity. This pattern has now been recognized to have been in effect for at least 200 years, since the beginning of the modern day recording of earthquakes.
The below video details this stunning new revelation regarding the historical evidence, proving the "188 day" cycle of major quakes.
It also outlines how these cyclic quakes have actually produced geographical trigonometrical angles across the planet, referred to as "ley lines".
These mathematical "ley lines" further evidence the supernatural indication of these cyclic quakes.
As the video details, March 22, 2012 was the "due date" for there to be a large quake, directly associated with the 188 day cycle
Just prior to the 188 cycle "due date" of March 22nd, there were two major earthquakes on March 20th.
These "twin quakes" were highly unusual as they happened within 6 minutes of each other, on completely opposite sides of the globe.
Usually, any large seismic activity experienced during a short duration of time is always related to the initial quake, as in aftershocks.
Therefore, these two quakes on the exact opposite sides of our planet is noteworthy.
One of these "twin quakes" was 6.2 magnitude earthquake near Papua, Indonesia and the other a shallow 7.6 magnitude earthquake near Oaxaca, Mexico. For further details see:
http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2012/03/20/twin-earthquakes-rattle-the-globe-on-spring-equinox/
After the March 22, 2012 "due date", on March 25, 2012 there was a 7.1 in Maule, Chile.
To date, there have been many magnitude 4's, 5's and a few up to 6.1, at the highest.
Even with the above sizable quakes around the March 22nd due date, the fact that the 188 day pattern can have a variance, extending out to 11-15 days past the expected date, stuck out to me.
Interestingly, fifteen days from the original March 22, 2012 date lands directly on Passover, April 6, 2012.
The previous two blogs, linked above, expound on the importance of this year's Passover.
Therefore, this possibility of the 188 day cycle major resulting in a massive quake; falling on Passover was intriguing to say the least.
My personal belief is that the aforementioned "twin quakes" and all subsequent moderate quakes to date, may only be precursors building up to a massive quake.
It has been impressed upon me that the current 188 day cyclic quake may be yet to occur.
This Passover quake potential soon changed from intriguing to literally jaw-dropping, when I was led to famed earthquake predictor, Jim Berkland.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Berkland
Mr. Berkland, a former U.S.G.S geologist, is best known for his amazingly accurate prediction of the 1989, 6.9 Loma Prieta, California quake; that struck just prior to the start of the World Series game being played there.
"In an interview published on October 13, 1989, one day before the start of baseball's 1989 World Series, Berkland predicted that an earthquake with magnitude between 3.5 and 6.0 would occur in the San Francisco Bay Area between October 14 and October 21. The 6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake occurred on October 17, just before the start of the third game of the Series."
Soon after the realization of a possible Passover connection; I was blessed to have been graciously allowed a personal interview with Mr. Berkland.
As Part 1 and Part 2 of this series asserts, the window of Passover week, April 6-14 2012 has been pinpointed by not only scientific but also, historical and mathematical facts aligning Biblically, with almost laser precision.
Therefore, imagine my astonishment when during our conversation, Mr. Berkland, as a expert in seismology and proven earthquake prediction, relayed his "seismic window" to be the EXACT same time period, of April 6-14, 2012!!
During a follow-up email, Mr. Berkland made this remark regarding our mutual "windows" of time:
"It was a pleasure to talk with you and learn that your "Window" matched mine of April 6-13, 2012, although derived by different means.
I have been using the astronomical syzygy of the Moon-Earth-Sun linked to the monthly perigee of the Moon in order to establish the maximum tidal forces that affect the oceans AND the solid earth."
Regarding his acclaimed 1989 World Series prediction, Mr Berkland stated this regarding his prediction accuracy:
"Because of a newspaper article on extreme tides,I had an inspiration on January 8, 1974 that these forces might help trigger earthquakes. I checked on the previous six quakes in the Bay Area and found that they all fit the pattern. So I made my first prediction that a 4 to 5M quake would hit the South Bay within a week and a 4.4M hit two days later. Using this method I was successful 6 out of 8 times in 1974. I have maintained that average ever since then."
The preceding quote clearly displays Mr, Berkland's extreme excitement and amazement at the upcoming April 6-14 and May 4-11, "seismic windows".
Furthermore, during our phone interview, Mr.Berkland expressed that the two above seismic windows are episodes that he has never seen in his decades long career nor aware of any having ever occurred.
Mr.Berkland's observation "that the highest tides do not necessarily stimulate the highest magnitude quakes, but, in my view, the highest potential for quakes" may support that the April 6-14th window may be still be as likely a date as the May 4-11 window.
Stunningly, the never seen before events of the May 4-11 seismic window, fall during God's appointed Second Passover, on May 6, 2012
In the Book of Numbers, God outlined a Second Passover for those unable to observe the first Passover.
Anyone who was "unclean" due to contact with death or who was on a far-away journey at the time of the Passover offering on the 14th of Nisan ( April 6th of this year), would then offer the sacrificial lamb one month later, on the 14th of Iyar, (May 6th of this year).
The odds that both of Mr. Berkland's seismic windows would correlate perfectly with the "windows" of BOTH Passovers, in conjunction with all the substantiating data covered in Part 1 and Part 2, is nothing less than phenomenal!
During our conversation, Mr. Berkland informed me that his method of predicting seismic activity included the observation of abnormal animal behavior such as beaching of marine life.
Interestingly, this past week, there has reported the beaching of hundreds of dolphins in Peru as well as in Cape Cod off the East Coast of America:
http://www.peruthisweek.com/news-1868-Over-3-thousand-dead-dolphins-found-on-beaches-in-northern-Peru/
http://www.globalanimal.org/2012/02/07/dolphin-strandings-pass-annual-average-in-a-month/65746/
In addition, the mysterious loud noises being heard all around the globe are becoming more widespread and are now being reported from areas all across the globe.
These well documented, strange noises ought to be like warning bells clanging that something is greatly amiss!
In fact, it appears that these startling audio disturbances in our atmosphere may actually be harbingers of a coming great quake.
They could be the sounds of the tectonic plates shifting or being tugged by the recently escalating and explosive geothermal activity.
Little is being reported about the current spate of unprecedented, increasing volcanic awakenings and eruptions:
http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/erupting_volcanoes.html
This uptick in volcanic activity would definitely have the propensity to stimulate seismic activity.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are interrelated as the molten rock of volcanoes is the foundation for the tectonic plates.
It is easy to see how agitation and instability from the expanding volcanic action could lead to a weakening of the integrity of the Earth's tectonic plates.
Due to all the above factors, there may be a massive earthquake pending. This "great earthquake" may occur during this coming Passover week, or else on Second Passover.
Remember both of these time frames are within Jim Berkland's "seismic windows".
There is a distinct possibility that America's West Coast could be the epicenter. According to the 188 day cycle, all corresponding quakes appear to be advancing systematically around the ring of fire.
Alaska or the West Coast would be next area, according to this pattern.
The undeniable data appears to show that Great Tribulation/Wrath is about to commence.
Further facts appear to be pointing to a possibility that the "great earthquake" of the Sixth Seal may be looming on the horizon.
"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood" (Rev. 6.12)
As we approach Passover Week, may we all take heed the commands God gave to us regarding this appointed Feast of His. Imperative to note is the fact that "leaven" represents sin.
Thus, the preparations of removing and keeping the leaven out, before as well as during the Passover, signals us to examine and ready ourselves.
It also alerts us to cautiously keep leaven/sin out of our lives during the Passover season.
Exodus 12:19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses.For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses.
These instructions to remove the leaven/sin from our lives may be purposeful-to prepare us for His return during a Passover.
Scripture also warns us to be thoroughly prepared and ready to depart at Passover:
"And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover." Exodus 12:11
Therefore, may we all seek to remove all leaven/sin from our hearts and lives, so we can be ready to leave, hastily, at a moment's notice, "in the twinkling of an eye"
"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. 1 Corinthians 15:52

I have maintained that average ever since then."
Important to note: the definition of a "perigee" of the moon is when its orbit has its closest to the Earth.
He also indicated that the full moon and lunar perigee are usually up to 8 days apart, and are within 25 hours only two to five times a year; thereby signifying that a shorter time interval between the two is rare.
Mr. Berkland then continued:
"The Full Moon/Perigee separation on Oct. 14, 1989 was the closest of the year a 4 hours, and the tides were the highest in 3 years, when I made my prediction for a World Series Earthquake of 6.5-7.0M."
Next, he outlined and explained all the supporting factors pointing to his predicted April 6-13th '"seismic window":
"As for the tides, there are three most important factors, the alignment of Sun, Moon and Earth; the closest monthly approach of the Moon to the Earth; and the yearly closest approach of the Earth to the Sun.

On April 6, 2012 the Full Moon and Perigee will be only 21 hours apart and the Golden Gate tides will reach 7.7 ft. Compared with a normal 4-4.5 ft. This creates one of the Top Seismic Windows I have recognized, with a high potential for earthquakes.
After I spoke with you on the phone this morning I realized that the May 4-11 Seismic Window was even more potent as the G.G. (Golden Gate Bridge).
Tides reach a maximum 8.6 ft.and the Full Moon/perigee will be separated by an

It is easy to see how agitation and instability from the expanding volcanic action could lead to a weakening of the integrity of the Earth's tectonic plates.
Therefore, this has great potential of leading up to a massive quake(s).
As such, we may be witnessing the build up to the " Great Earthquake" of the Sixth Seal; which many believe to be the event coinciding with a pre-wrath Rapture.
As previously covered in Part 1 and Part 2, all signs are pointing to this Passover week, 2012, to usher in the the Great Tribulation, which is the wrath of God on the lukewarm and lost.

In my humble opinion, these ever increasing volcanic awakenings may actually be Hell enlarging itself for the massive influx of souls that will soon enter during the soon coming Tribulation:

END TIMES BIBLE PROPHECY IS RAPIDLY BEING FULFILLED...ARE YOU RAPTURE READY??
God tells us in His Word that only He can tell the future as He knows the end from the beginning. This is how He proves that He is God and that His Word, the Bible is true.
Isaiah 46:10
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
The very fact that the Jewish people, after being dispersed all over the world in all the different nations for almost 2000 years, have come back into the promised land as a nation; retaining both their culture and religion is against astronomical odds.
The below link details the prophecies in the Bible foretelling of the formation of modern day Israel in the last days:
http://www.testimonyofprophecy.com/pr003.html
Biblical prophecy also alerts us that once Israel comes back into the land (that happened in 1948), that the prophetic time clock for the end times starts ticking.
Scripture relates that the generation that saw Israel become a nation will "not pass away" before the other end time prophecies are fulfilled.
Therefore, we can see how very near we are to the end of the age; as we are nearing the end of the generation that witnessed the miraculous rebirth of Israel.
The Bible foretells in both the Old and New Testaments about a coming world leader (the antichrist) who will cause men to take his mark or else "no man can buy or sell" without it.
In order for there to be a world leader there has to be a world government.
The world leaders now openly talk about a "new world order" and a "global government". It is no longer a hidden, secret objective.
Important to note is the fact that the American government is purposefully, recklessly spending money in order to indebt the country; to the point that the dollar is worthless.
Obamacare is just one more straw to economically ruin us. If anyone is in big debt do they spend, spend, spend to get out of that debt?
Of course not! So, as we can see, the United States' government is not trying to fix the debt crisis. Instead, the goal is to add to it, in order to completely destroy the economy.
The purpose of this is that there cannot be a one world government as long as there is a superpower; as America still currently is.
That is why they are bent on the destruction of the American economy. Collapse the economy, and the nation and its power collapses with it.
The powers that be realize the only way that freedom-cherishing American citizens would submit to a global government, is if they have no choice and no power to resist the removal of their liberties.
That is why the administration and the Federal Reserve has been deliberately printing money out of thin air.
The intent is to devalue the dollar so they can fast track us to the one world government which will be the prophesied "antichrist" government.
A call for a one world currency is already being demanded by many globally:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/currency/6152204/UN-wants-new-global-currency-to-replace-dollar.html
This one world currency will be the precursor to the mark of the beast which is prophesied in the book of Revelation:
Rev.13:17"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
The implantable microchip that is now being advertised will be the fulfillment of this prophesied mark of the beast, whereby "no man may buy or sell":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0MKAG2wirk
What is beyond amazing is that they did a million plus dollar study to detect the best place to implant the microchip.
It requires body heat to retain it's charge. The extensive study concluded that the best places for implantation were the FOREHEAD or back of the HAND.
Revelation 13:16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right HAND or on his FOREHEAD, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name
There are approximately 2500 prophecies which appear in the pages of the Bible.
About 2000 of these have already been fulfilled to the very last detail with no errors.
The remaining 500 or so reach into the future and many are currently being seen unfolding, as we progress further towards the final days.
The below link that describes other Biblical prophecies in the past that were fulfilled:
http://www.allaboutthejourney.org/bible-prophecies-fulfilled.htm
In fact, the first coming of Jesus fulfilled around 300 prophecies itself. The below link details this:
http://www.reasons.org/fulfilled-prophecy-evidence-reliability-bible
Note that all prophecies from the Bible have always been fulfilled with 100% accuracy.
Recently, the Shroud of Turin, which many believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus, has been found to actually provide the name of Jesus of Nazareth on the actual shroud.
Along with this discovery, there was other substantiating information that strongly appears to prove that it is indeed Yeshua's shroud.
Please note that with all of our modern technology, they are unable to duplicate the Shroud.
The Shroud was produced as a result of the mortal body of Jesus being transformed into a resurrected body.
The transformation from a physical body into a glorified body caused an atomic rearrangement which produced a radioactive reaction.
The result of this atomic process imprinted the Shroud; much like a modern day x-ray.
These supernatural circumstances of the resurrection explain why today, it cannot be duplicated, even with all of our high tech knowledge and equipment.
Therefore, here in these end times. God has mercifully provided mankind with actual physical evidence of the Resurrection of the risen Savior:

Added to this physical proof is the fact that today's headlines are, in real time, fulfilling ancient Bible prophecy.
With the fulfillment of so many Biblical prophecies, we have been given actual PROOF that the Bible is God's Word and that the Bible is 100%Truth.
As such, the many warnings in it's pages are predicting real, calamitous events that are soon forthcoming.
We can easily recognize that we are now in the end times. However, we need to also be aware that anybody's "end of time" could come any day, as in death.
This life is fleeting and we are but a vapor. One day we will all pass into eternity, so it is prudent that we all evaluate our lives and ascertain where we will spend eternity.
Everyone is appointed a time to die. But, for those living during the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to Rapture His own, it is imperative to be ready, lest you be left behind to face the horrors of the coming Tribulation.
Many who are lukewarm or lost may not even survive the global disasters that will follow the Rapture.
Therefore, no one should think that they can wait to"get right with God" or to "live for Jesus" and wait until after the Rapture to make a sure decision to follow Christ.
Immediately following the Rapture, the Earth will be in utter darkness, chaotic with cataclysmic events as the norm.
Many, however,will die from the disasters that will encompass the entire world when the wrath of God is unleashed on those who willfully resisted His grace and mercy.
The time to repent of all sins and give your ENTIRE life to Christ, asking Him to be both your Lord and your Savior is NOW...as time is running out!
Isaiah 46:10
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
The very fact that the Jewish people, after being dispersed all over the world in all the different nations for almost 2000 years, have come back into the promised land as a nation; retaining both their culture and religion is against astronomical odds.
The below link details the prophecies in the Bible foretelling of the formation of modern day Israel in the last days:
http://www.testimonyofprophecy.com/pr003.html
Biblical prophecy also alerts us that once Israel comes back into the land (that happened in 1948), that the prophetic time clock for the end times starts ticking.
Scripture relates that the generation that saw Israel become a nation will "not pass away" before the other end time prophecies are fulfilled.
Therefore, we can see how very near we are to the end of the age; as we are nearing the end of the generation that witnessed the miraculous rebirth of Israel.
The Bible foretells in both the Old and New Testaments about a coming world leader (the antichrist) who will cause men to take his mark or else "no man can buy or sell" without it.
In order for there to be a world leader there has to be a world government.
The world leaders now openly talk about a "new world order" and a "global government". It is no longer a hidden, secret objective.
Important to note is the fact that the American government is purposefully, recklessly spending money in order to indebt the country; to the point that the dollar is worthless.
Obamacare is just one more straw to economically ruin us. If anyone is in big debt do they spend, spend, spend to get out of that debt?
Of course not! So, as we can see, the United States' government is not trying to fix the debt crisis. Instead, the goal is to add to it, in order to completely destroy the economy.
The purpose of this is that there cannot be a one world government as long as there is a superpower; as America still currently is.
That is why they are bent on the destruction of the American economy. Collapse the economy, and the nation and its power collapses with it.
The powers that be realize the only way that freedom-cherishing American citizens would submit to a global government, is if they have no choice and no power to resist the removal of their liberties.
That is why the administration and the Federal Reserve has been deliberately printing money out of thin air.
The intent is to devalue the dollar so they can fast track us to the one world government which will be the prophesied "antichrist" government.
A call for a one world currency is already being demanded by many globally:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/currency/6152204/UN-wants-new-global-currency-to-replace-dollar.html
This one world currency will be the precursor to the mark of the beast which is prophesied in the book of Revelation:
Rev.13:17"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
The implantable microchip that is now being advertised will be the fulfillment of this prophesied mark of the beast, whereby "no man may buy or sell":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0MKAG2wirk
What is beyond amazing is that they did a million plus dollar study to detect the best place to implant the microchip.
It requires body heat to retain it's charge. The extensive study concluded that the best places for implantation were the FOREHEAD or back of the HAND.
There are approximately 2500 prophecies which appear in the pages of the Bible.
About 2000 of these have already been fulfilled to the very last detail with no errors.
The remaining 500 or so reach into the future and many are currently being seen unfolding, as we progress further towards the final days.
The below link that describes other Biblical prophecies in the past that were fulfilled:
http://www.allaboutthejourney.org/bible-prophecies-fulfilled.htm
In fact, the first coming of Jesus fulfilled around 300 prophecies itself. The below link details this:
http://www.reasons.org/fulfilled-prophecy-evidence-reliability-bible
Note that all prophecies from the Bible have always been fulfilled with 100% accuracy.
Recently, the Shroud of Turin, which many believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus, has been found to actually provide the name of Jesus of Nazareth on the actual shroud.
Along with this discovery, there was other substantiating information that strongly appears to prove that it is indeed Yeshua's shroud.
Please note that with all of our modern technology, they are unable to duplicate the Shroud.
The Shroud was produced as a result of the mortal body of Jesus being transformed into a resurrected body.
The transformation from a physical body into a glorified body caused an atomic rearrangement which produced a radioactive reaction.
The result of this atomic process imprinted the Shroud; much like a modern day x-ray.
These supernatural circumstances of the resurrection explain why today, it cannot be duplicated, even with all of our high tech knowledge and equipment.
Therefore, here in these end times. God has mercifully provided mankind with actual physical evidence of the Resurrection of the risen Savior:

IS YOUR CITIZENSHIP IN HEAVEN??
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2011/sabrina1026.htm
"So many run here; and there; and everywhere to find answers for living.
There is ONE WAY ...only through JESUS, the ONE and ONLY WAY, the only LIGHT, the only HOPE, the only TRUTH.
All other ways, roads are leading to destruction. Many are being led astray. The enemy has crafted a large trap and many are falling into it daily.
Men are seeking other men for all the answers to their problems.
So many listen intently, daily to men who do not really know the Lord, as if these mere men have all the answers to this troubled world.
Men are seeking other men for all the answers to their problems.
So many listen intently, daily to men who do not really know the Lord, as if these mere men have all the answers to this troubled world.
So many of the children of God are clinging to and seeking answers in many places— in mammon, in governments, in man’s vain philosophies, through wooden idols and through scores of books written by men who are mortal and too busy writing their books to even read the most important book ever written: GOD's BOOK.
All answers lie in JESUS and the words of His Book. It is time to seek only Him, Seek only His Words.
Time is nearly up for true repentance. It is time to wash ourselves in the Word of Yeshua and His Blood.
All answers lie in JESUS and the words of His Book. It is time to seek only Him, Seek only His Words.
Time is nearly up for true repentance. It is time to wash ourselves in the Word of Yeshua and His Blood.
This is a warning to get right with your GOD while there is still time. We need to go before HIM in serious repentance, seeking HIM for all our answers.
We need to surrender our all in all to the Savior. There is but a fraction of time left in which to come to Jesus in deep repentance.
This world now has easy and plentiful access to His Truth. Those who reject His Word, so readily available will be held at a higher level of accountability.
To trample on the HOLY WORDS of GOD as if the world and what it has to offer is so much more valuable and credible than His Word, and His Truth, and His Offer of Wholeness and Salvation is dangerous, with eternal consequences."
May we all seek Him with our whole hearts, giving Him the glory and honor He deserves.

Let us refocus our lives today, giving the things of God priority over these passing earthly pursuits.
It is time to see that we are at the end of the age and this world and all it offers is passing away, so; the Kingdom of God that will NEVER pass away is where all our affections should be focused.

WE ARE SEEING "THE DAY APPROACHING"!
We are fast coming upon Yom Kippur, on the Gregorian calendar, today at nightfall . I want to share an in-depth exhortation on the possibility of the Rapture on this day.
The 40 days of repentance that began on Elul 1, leading into Rosh Hashanah, then into the 7 days of Awe, will end tonight with Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement.
The 40 days of repentance that began on Elul 1, leading into Rosh Hashanah, then into the 7 days of Awe, will end tonight with Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement.
Interestingly, Arlene, the author of these convincing, Scripture-based facts, has noted the "sign of Jonah" in relation to the end of this 40 days of repentance.
Please see the previous blog entry regarding the potential physical signal that appears to be have sent to alert us to how close the return of the Lord Jesus, for His own, is:
"Now a broad outline as I understand it, Yom Kippur is the final day of the 40-day repentance period which began on Elul 1st, 30 days before Rosh Hashanah, and includes the ten days of awe, or another reprieve period in which to repent before Yom Kippur, when the Book of Life is closed by the righteous judge in heaven, and those who have not been found worthy to be in that book have no further appeal to the Lord thereafter.
Let us recall that our Lord said that an evil generation which seeks a sign shall have only the “sign of Jonah”, and one of the aspects of Jonah’s call to repentance for Nineveh was a 40-day call to repentance. So, this should intrigue us at the very least, and beckon us to look further.
For, should the Jewish nation seek a sign of their coming Messiah, they would certainly stumble upon this scripture after the rapture and do the math themselves. If, as many say, our Lord’s physical appearing upon earth, on the Mount of Olives, occurs on Yom Kippur, then it follows that seven years earlier (introducing the time of Jacob’s trouble), would occur then also on Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur is a day of fasting, and atonement, so there is usually a rather large and hedonistic repast the day before this entire day of donning hair shirts and denial of the flesh. During the Yom Kippur service, the Ark of the Covenant is open, which contains the Torah; this signifies the gates of heaven which are purported to be open during this period.
This should lead us into meditating upon those words of the Lord about Himself being “the door”, or the open gate, which also relates to Rosh Hashanah, in that the gates of heaven are open even for the last ten days of repentance before Yom Kippur.
So, there is much fuss made about these open doors made during the time period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Also we shall look later at that door which was open to the Philadelphian church in Revelation, and that door which John saw as open in heaven for his invitation to “come up hither”.
First, before I forget it... I believe this is the only feast day of the Lord, which calls for a day of fasting. Additional prohibitions for the day of Yom Kippur are engaging in marital relations, weddings, wearing leather shoes, or washing oneself, in addition to not drinking wine or eating food.
Was our Lord referring to this day when He said that in the days of Noah, they were “eating and drinking” and “marrying and giving in marriage” until THE DAY that Noah entered into the ark.
Likewise, prior to this year’s Yom Kippur, Jews will be “eating and drinking, and marrying and giving in marriage”, until THE DAY of Yom Kippur. Without getting flakey here... I read somewhere on the world-wide net, that the Ark of the Covenant, had the same ratio of measurements as the dimensions of the ark of Noah, and we know that God Himself closed the door to the ark once Noah was inside, so perhaps there is a picture here of that great ark of heaven being open for us, until the completion of Yom Kippur, “God Himself will close the door”.
After the Yom Kippur service, the doors of the ark of the covenant are closed, signifying the closing of the door of heaven; they blow the shofar once, and this is called “The Great Trump”. then that’s all she wrote for those who did not repent.
The last hour of the Yom Kippur service offers one final opportunity for repentance. Does this remind you of our Lord’s words to the Laodicean church “behold I stand at the door and knock”?
WHY NOT ROSH HASHANAH?
I am sure we all wilted when Rosh Hashanah came and went with no resurrection, no call of the Bridegroom – nothing. What? It all seemed to fit so well. So, back to the drawing board we go. We are now in the Days of Awe portion of time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These are days of deep reflection, leading up to the most somber day of fasting and repentance, during which we reflect upon our sins.
The Sabbath day that falls during these two feasts is called The Sabbath of Return or “Shabbat Shuvah”, which means the Sabbath of repentance, or returning to the Lord from our lives of sin.
I have felt for some time that there lurks in the first (church-related) portion of the book of Revelation, the answer to WHEN the rapture would be, for John himself was called to “come up hither”. John is a “type” of the bride of Christ (he laid his head upon the breast of our Lord at the last supper, typical of what a bride did at a betrothal dinner), and he was called “the beloved disciple”. Therefore, we look at John to find out what becomes of the beloved betrothed bride.
First, John hears a voice like a trumpet, (this is the “first trump) introducing the words of our Lord, and he turns to see the Lord “in the midst of the seven candlesticks” Revelation 1:12-13. He is instructed to write to the churches what He speaks. His feet were like unto “fine brass”, which bespeaks of judgment, and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of His mouth. This two-edged sword we have encountered before, in the words of Paul:
Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
So, with this two-edged sword, He is about to both compliment, and rebuke, the seven churches, for He identifies the seven candlesticks as “the seven churches”. He dictates these words of discernment while John is still on earth, which claim I still stick to, else, how could John later be told to “come up hither”, if he was already “up thither”, and in fact the bride /church is on earth during this time of dressing-down by the Lord, and during this time of repentance.
Now, I think that this scenario pictures exactly what happens prior to Yom Kippur. The reason that the Lord does not come on Rosh Hashanah, is that IT IS STILL IN THE 40-DAY REPENTANCE PERIOD, leading up to YOM KIPPUR, THE LAST DAY OF THE REPENTANCE PERIOD.
For:
2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance
But “that ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE” speaks of a period of time when our Lord is “longsuffering”...and in fact a person can “come to repentance” right up until the last hour before the Yom Kippur service is over, and this period of time for repentance, is the 40-day period prior to Yom Kippur, as also it was during the 40-day period of Jonah’s preaching when he said that God would repent of the evil that He had purposed to do if they did not repent.
But not to dwell here, let’s see what follows in the book of Revelation. Sure enough the letters to the churches have ‘REPENTANCE’ writ large all over them. Repent, or else. Repent or else. Repent or else. This is the language of Teshuvah (the 30 days of repentance prior to Rosh Hashanah, and the ten days of awe or repentance, after Rosh Hashanah).
Rosh Hashanah is still repentance season, while God is LONGSUFFERING, and awaiting the repentance; that is why the rapture cannot happen on Rosh Hashanah. However, the first trumpet which John heard, was the trumpet of Rosh Hashanah announcing the last ten days of repentance.
And to one of these churches He says, “(Rev 3:8) Behold I HAVE SET BEFORE THEE AN OPEN DOOR, AND NO MAN CAN SHUT IT”. This open door is none other than the open door that constitutes the gates of heaven being open during the time period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur!
But it gets better for Philadelphia, because He says, during this period of time that the door is open, that (Rev 3:11) “Behold I COME QUICKLY… hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown”. Yes, He comes quickly, in fact within ten days of this judgment of the churches, and this coming happens to involve “crowns” or rewards (the rapture).
Rev 22:12 - And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
To the Laodiceans, He says He is about to spue them out of His mouth, (to spend some time in the coming tribulation years) because THEY SEE NO NEED TO REPENT. They see themselves as rich, increased in goods, and HAVING NEED OF NOTHING. To this church He says “behold I AM AT THE DOOR”. And “be zealous therefore, and REPENT”. If any man opens the door (of repentance), He states He will come in a sup with him (the marriage supper).
We should see hereafter, in the book of Revelation, pictures of Yom Kippur following upon this call to repentance, and sure enough that we do. The next thing John reports (and remember that John is a type of the bride of Christ) is that a door was opened (KJV), elsewhere, “a door standing open”, in heaven and he was called “up hither” by another voice of a trumpet.
Revelation 4
The Throne Room of Heaven
1 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.”
“Immediately” (the rapture) he found himself in heaven. This time he heard another “trumpet” (the last trump when we shall be changed in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye). And when he looked around, he saw a throne, and right after that the “24 elders”, who were wearing “crowns” – here are the crowns promised to those faithful Philadelphians…
Revelation 4:4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
Isaiah 26:2 - Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
Psalm 118: 19-24 - Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
What do these elders say? (Rev 5:9) “….and (He) has REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue and people, and nation.” A mixed horde here represented by 24 elders, and not just national Israel . But that is not the point, the point being that they had just been REDEEMED.
What is Yom Kippur called? THE DAY OF REDEMPTION! (or Yom haPeduth). This day was the holiest day in the whole year for the Israelites, the day that the high priest entered into the Holy of Holies of the temple, the only day he went in there, and made atonement both for himself and for the people.
Therefore, Yom Kippur is also called the Day of Atonement. John sees that the Lamb as it had been slain, was found worthy to REDEEM those he sees in heaven. And also found worthy to open the judgment seals, or scroll of redemption, leading into the great tribulation.
Jesus started His ministry on Yom Kippur, for we read that the Holy Spirit immediately took Him after His baptism out to the wilderness to be tempted by satan. In the Law, it states that after the priest atoned for the people, he chose a “scapegoat”, which was led into the wilderness, to carry away the sins of the people, and that a “goodly man” was to lead that goat there (a type of the Holy Spirit leading Christ into the wilderness as our scapegoat). It was also a jubilee year, as Jesus quoted Isaiah 61, that He had come to set the slaves free etc.
Now, on Yom Kippur, and at the jubilee year, the Great Trumpet was to be blown to bring in the jubilee year. Therefore, the trumpet which John heard when he was called up to heaven was the “trumpet of God” which calls us up, at the jubilee of the church, or rapture.
Now, we know from the scriptures that Christ has been made our “high priest” in heaven. Only, unlike the high priest on earth that entered the Holy of Holies once a year, we read in Hebrews:
Hebrews 9:21-28 - Moreover he (the high priest) sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 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.
Above is described the sacrifice of Christ, for us, as high priest in heaven, having redeemed us by His blood, as the 24 elders sing in their new song…. And now get verse 28…..”unto those that look for him, shall he appear THE SECOND TIME WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION. This verse speaks also of Yom Kippur, the Atonement sacrifice, and THOSE OF US WHO LOOK FOR HIM TO APPEAR THE SECOND TIME as our high priest, to REDEEM us. FACE TO FACE
Another traditional name for Yom Kippur is “face to face”. We know that no man could ever see God and live; however, on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the high priest would go into the Holy of Holies and be in God’s presence, or “face to face” with God. This was a most solemn moment, and the people were gripped with anxiety as the high priest was in there, waiting to see if God would accept the sacrifice. A bright cloud was over the mercy seat, at God’s presence in there.
Now, get this: Paul tells us:
1 Corinthians 13:12 - For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Another close encounter above. But here’s the clincher:
When the high priest exited the Holy of Holies, the people breathed a huge collective sigh of relief, for from the VERY MOMENT when the high priest emerged from the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement, they knew that they were absolutely sinless and blameless before the Lord, and could set out upon yet another year of sin and hilarity, until the next year.
LET US GO TO EPHESIANS 5:27 now: where Paul speaks of the mystery of Christ and the bridegroom, the church:
Ephesians 5:27 - That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
There it is folks. We cannot be presented on Rosh Hashanah, which is WHILE WE ARE REFLECTING AND REPENTING, during the 40 days of repentance, but only after our High Priest, our Lord, “exits” the Holy of Holies (heaven), having secured our TOTAL AND COMPLETE REDEMPTION and ATONEMENT, thereby being able to present us to Himself as a spotless bride as in Ephesians 5:27 above.
In Leviticus 25:9-11, we see that the year of the Jubilee, was to be healed in on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. And we know that the Jubilee year, was one of the REDEMPTION of lost property or rights, or indebtedness.
The REDEMPTION (being redeemed by His blood sprinkled in the Holy of Holies before the Father) mentioned in the song of the 24 elders, speaks of this liberty, and rest, which we acquire at His coming. And, in Joel 2:12-16, it says:
Joel 2:12-16 - Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me (Sabbath of Return) with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. (which He did for the Ninevites at Jonah’s 40 days’ call to repentance)
Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast (Yom Kippur), call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify (cleanse) 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.
There’s those elders, on a fast day, when the bridegroom and bride emerge. This would indeed be the Jubilee of the church, and this Jubilee can ONLY HAPPEN ON YOM KIPPUR as per Leviticus 25:8-13
Leviticus 25:8-13 - And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.
And, Christ our Savior sacrificed Himself, for us, so that we may look forward to celebrating that Jubilee with Him:
What day approaching? The day when our hearts are sprinkled with His blood (our High Priest) for Atonement, which is YOM KIPPUR.
RUTH
Now if you will bear with me for a short while longer I may enlarge upon this. It’s a short and nice book to read for those of you who have not read it, now would be a good time to do that.
But I shall not quote it directly so that I may be more general in my thoughts. First of all, Naomi urged her daughter-in-law Ruth to prepare herself (days of repentance) by washing, dressing, and anointing herself, prior to presenting herself at the feet of Boaz on the threshing floor. Naomi was a street-smart Jewess, who knew that the harvest festivals were upon them.
Ruth was around throughout the barley harvest “and to the wheat harvest”. That Boaz only had barley heaps on his floor was a stumbling block to us, for at that time we fancied ourselves to be “barley”, then “wheat”, and hoped to see ourselves somewhere in this story.
Apparently Boaz hadn’t seen to his wheat harvest yet... and in fact Jesus said... ”the harvest is the end of the age”, and wheat will be part of this harvest, taken from the parable of the wheat and tares.
Knowing that the fall feasts were approaching, Naomi wanted to see to Ruth’s “rest”….remember? (this is our millennial rest as bride of Christ) That is, that she might be “redeemed” by this “kinsman” in whose field Ruth happened.
It is interesting that Naomi told Ruth to wait to lie at his feet, until he “has finished eating and drinking”. Now, why is this little detail here... remember, that there is a sumptuous feasting the day before Yom Kippur, because the next day is a fast day.
So, Ruth waited until he had eaten and drunk, and his heart was “merry” from the feasting. At midnight, Boaz stirs, (“at midnight a call was made – behold the bridegroom cometh”), and he awakens, and passes a complimentary judgment upon her, his bride to be (the judgment seat of Christ).
Ruth returns to Naomi with the news of the threshing-floor encounter, early in the morning, bearing a gift of barley. Now, Naomi says, that Boaz will “not REST (bring in the millennial rest) until this thing be taken care of…”, that is the securing of the right to be a kinsman redeemer and acquire Ruth as bride in the process.
The millennial rest or jubilee cannot occur until the redemption process is approved by the city’s elders.
Boaz, the next morning, goes to the elders of the city and makes it all right and REDEEMS Naomi’s property ( Israel ’s land and promises), and takes Ruth as his bride in the process.

Therefore, we come back now to the scene in heaven immediately after John is caught up to heaven (the rapture of the bride), and witnesses the Lamb being found WORTHY to open the seals of the book (the book of REDEMPTION), for in all cases of kinsman redeemers, the kinsman had to be found worthy by the city’s elders to open the scroll of the property rights of the purchased possession.
We know that what Christ is redeeming here is all that was lost from the fall of Adam onward. That is why John cried when “no man could be found worthy to open the book…”.
And so it is, that the 24 elders could sing a NEW SONG, about redemption, and that redemption could only have occurred on YOM KIPPUR, and that spotless bride could have only been made spotless and without wrinkle, by the only one who could have done this on THE DAY OF REDEMPTION, or YOM KIPPUR.
And of course I leave out one of the most important scriptures, relating to the rapture on Yom Kippur, buried in this mass of notes. The "engagement or espousal gift" given to us, the church, was the "earnest of the Holy Spirit", or down-payment of that which would be made full later.
Ruth was given six measures of barley, so that she would not return to Naomi without an espousal gift, or down payment from Boaz. With this earnest or partial offering of the Holy Spirit, we are "sealed" as the property of the betrothed Bridegroom, Christ.
Paul tells us in Ephesians not to grieve the Holy Spirit........for we are sealed with this Spirit, until the DAY OF REDEMPTION, which is YOM KIPPUR.
That's about as plain as it can be that the last day of this "partial" sealing of the Holy Spirit will be on YOM KIPPUR, for another name for Yom Kippur is: DAY OF REDEMPTION...... Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."

May I add one further thought on the significance of Ruth and Boaz in relation to Christ and those who await His return. In the book of Ruth, Boaz instructed his future bride, Ruth, to gather grain until the harvest was over.
We can see how this is exactly what the Bride of Christ has been instructed to do:
Luke 10:2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field".
John 4:35 "...behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."
Boaz also offered water to Ruth for her thirst, just as we have been offered to quench our thirst with the Living Water:
John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
Noteworthy is the feast spoken of in John 7:37 refers to the Feast of Tabernacles, which is the feast following Yom Kippur.
We cannot know for fact that the Rapture is on Yom Kippur, even though this study has presented many convincing rationales.
However, there is one thing we know for certain; we are to be exhorting one another while we busily gather in the Harvest, as it is becoming vividly clear that we are rapidly seeing the "Day approaching".
Hebrews 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
