As children going on a long car trip the anxiety to arrive keeps building up as time passes and this reminds me of our present time waiting for the Lord’s Rapture of His church out of the earth in the Rapture.
In this case the children are not the ones asking the question but adults who are knowledgeable on Bible prophecy and aware of the convergence of signs taking place in the world.
In this book review interview the subject of the Rapture is discussed in detail and the mearness of it presented in a clear and concise manner by the author of the book Mr. David Reagan.
The feast known as Pentecost is the end of Spring and beginning of the Summer crop of wheat.
For the Nation of Israel it meant a seasonal celebration without a definitive spiritual connotation as other feasts.
God had a different plan for this feast and on this date 50 days after the Crucifixion of Christ and ten days after His Ascension, He send tongues of fire with a strong wind to His gathered disciples. These tongues being the Holy Spirit dwindled those present and power was given to them. This marks the beginning of the church.
The meaning also is the end of the church age with the gathering of all the Christian believers with a resurrection first and a Rapture after.
The video linked here gives further explanation in a very detailed and scriptural backed proof.

The following article further narrows the possible dates for Pentecost
Jean Stepnoski (9 June 2019) “When Pentecost Is Fully Come in 2019: 6-15 to 17“
There are many calendar reckonings for Pentecost in 2019: Torah, Hillel, Church (Roman Catholic and Protestant), and Eastern Orthodox. When are all complete in 2019? They are fully come as of 6-15 to 17 on the Eastern Orthodox Calendar. As Israel goes to sunset on 6-17 on the conclusion of the Eastern Orthodox Calendar, all Pentecost Calendar Dates are complete. Everyone will have been given opportunities to participate. Pentecost is fully come.
What about Pentecost the weekend of 6-8 to 10 on the Church Calendar for Roman Catholics and Protestants? At Iowa in the heartland of the U.S.A. most of the candidates for the Democratic Party Nomination will visit. Plenty of photo opportunities. What will the talk be about? Pentecost? Other things. What will be underscored? Iowa support for abortion rights and Iowa gay rights in a Iowa gay rights celebration weekend. All over Iowa will be Pentecost services with Holy Communion. However. It seems that Pentecost in Iowa will be UPSTAGED by discussion about abortion rights and gay rights. What would earlier Democratic Party leaders think of what has happened to the beliefs and values of their beloved party? Would Harry Truman and Shirley Chisholm be amazed?
Will the discussions and events at Iowa this weekend create a 7 day heads up? Pentecost is much about the indwelling of the Spirit of Truth. What are beliefs and values of the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete? Unlimited abortion rights and the legalization of “weed” for the good of all? Who could argue THAT? Will there be the upstaging of Pentecost at Iowa in 2019? Will there be 7 days more before Pentecost is “fully come” in 2019? We shall know soon, “Summer is near, even at the gates.”
On June 9, Pentecost, the church celebrates the birthday of the Christian Church when the Holy Spirit came as tongues of fire to the assembled believers after the Ascension of Christ. The excellent enclosed article by Chance covers many of the details that are important for this date and I will cover some additional ones here.
The number 70 plays a very significant part in these additional observations as well as the feast of Pentecost which is tied to this number also.
The law was given to Moses on the day of Pentecost at Mount Sinai. The observance of a Sabbath year (Shemitah) every 7 years was part of the law as well as the observance of a Jubilee year every 50 years.
At the time of the Prophet Jeremiah the people of Israel had disobeyed God and ignored the Shemitah years 70 times for a total of 70 x 7 = 490 years. As punishment for this sin the nation of Israel was driven into exile by the Babylonians for 70 years ( https://biblehub.com/niv/jeremiah/25.htm ).
At the end of the 70 years of exile the prophet Daniel was asking God when the end of the exile was as he thought the seventy years were over and the Lord gave him a reply ( https://biblehub.com/niv/daniel/9.htm ) of a prophecy of seventy weeks of years for the complete restoration of Israel that would be the same amount of time (70×7 =490 years) to :
25“Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, f the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. g The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolation’s have been decreed. 27He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ h In the middle of the ‘seven’ i he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple j he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. k ” l.
This prophecy which gives a timeline for the complete restoration of Israel is the most profound and detail prophecy given to the Nation of Israel. The start and the end of the count are specifically given to the day, but it is also one of the most difficult to interpret.
The start was with the order of King Cirus of Medo-Persia issued the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem exactly (7+62)x7=69×7= 483 years till the Anointed (Jesus) will be put to death at 3PM on Passover 30 AD, thus fulfilling to the second the first 69 weeks of years and leaving one week of years for the future fulfillment.
Forty years after the first part of this prophecy was fulfilled ( 40 years found extensively in the past history of Israel as judgements) and on the year 70 AD a second destruction of Jerusalem and a hundreds of years exile was ordained for this rebellious nation that had crucified their Messiah as the perfect sacrificial lamb on Passover 40 years earlier. This time the sin was exceedingly greater and the punishment suitable to the crime.
The final fulfillment of the prophecy a one week of years of 360 days or 2,520 days could start this feast of Pentecost (June 8-10) as well as the Rapture and Resurrection of the Christian Church.
This is the rationality for this conclusion:
After a long exile that started in 70 AD the Jewish nation was born again on May 14, 1948 (Isaiah 66:8) ( https://biblehub.com/niv/isaiah/66.htm) which fell that year on the feast of Shavuot or Pentecost.
Since that date there will have been exactly 70 Shavuot or Pentecost till next June 9 2019. To commemorate this fact the State of Israel has issued a coin a shekel with the face of King Cirus and President Trump on one side to compare the recognition of Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel by the US the equivalent ruler to the Medo-persians of old.
The end part of this prophecy has a very important start that is not the preceding interpretation and it is given as a ruler who will confirm a covenant of seven years (one week of years or the last week of the Daniel prophecy) which at the middle of the time he will break and stop the sacrifices offered at the Temple and defile it with an abomination which causes desolation. This man is what Christians refer as the Beast or the 666 or the Antichrist or the rider of the first white horse of the book of Revelation.
The totality of the church taken away God then reverts back to dealing with Israel as He did in the times before Jesus.
Can this ruler be Trump, can it be Obama, can it be someone else, can this be the time? I leave you with this thought to ponder. Included below is the link to the article by Chase.
Are we there yet? is the famous question ask through the years by children traveling with their parents to visit a relative or to a trip to Disney where great joy awaits upon arrival.
Just as anxious children we long for the arrival of the Rapture and our time of redemption from the enslavement of our mortal bodies to the eternal liberty of our new redeemed bodies. So are we there yet???? father!!!!
Start looking for the signs in the road that tells us how many miles away we are and do not miss any so that your joy can increase with the closer we get.
This video link to an interview with Gary and Tom will serve as a marker of both time and distance for the most awesome event of our lives.
In my effort to be close to Jesus today several videos have moved me greatly spiritually and this one did it in spades!!!.
Prior to watching his video I had watch and written about exactly the same subject you will find from JD Faraq a pastor from Hawaii who is a Lebanese born and raised man.
His message got personal and as if Jesus was speaking directly at me when he started to say the depression and desperate state of gloom he found himself in, just as intense as if I was looking at a mirror and expressing my anguish from the constant attacks that the enemy Satan has been throwing my way. Even to the quote of verse that brought him out of the state of mind he was in, Micah 7.7 where the prophet was immersed in a spiritual struggle and the hope that came from the Lord. You see I constantly communicate with Him using the number 77 found in car license plates that cross my path as I drive when I or members of my family are in need of an answer or encouragement or strengthening of faith. His verse Micah 7.7 is such a communication and I hope it serves you the reader as well.
Faraq ads more news details from Sudan and Libya as well as Russia. For those of you not familiar with the Ezekiel 38 prophecy the names used there Gog, Beth Togarmath, Persia Put and Cush correspond to the modern day names mentioned in the videos.. Refer to my previous article for the links to the Bible passages.
May God bless and encourage you with these words and the video.
As time has passed and we get near the prophetic end of the 70 years of Israel re-birth as a Nation in May 14, 1948, we do well in looking at all the prophecies that are coming down the pike in the future.
These prophecies involve a myriad of Nations in the middle east and the world, as well as the need to catalog them in the order of their future fulfillment. Mr. Bill Salus and Mr. Gary Stearman are both seasoned teachers of Bible prophecy that have written extensively about the coming prophetic wars. Remember that they all involve Israel as this Nation becomes the focus or catalyst that is used by God to establish His coming Kingdom on earth.
High on the list and near fulfillment is Isaiah 17 the complete destruction of the city Damascus in Syria.
Ezekiel 29 and the complete desolation of Egypt for 40 years.
A major prophecy to come in the near future is Ezekiel 38 and 39 and it involves Russia, Turkey, Iran, Libya, Sudan and other Nations. This prophecy and the destruction of the Nations involved will be at the supernatural hand of God just as He did with Egypt at the time of Moses.
Daniel who was given by God a panorama of future world history going all the way till the coming of Jesus to establish the millennial Kingdom. In chapter 9 the seventy week of years (490 years} it says Messiah will be cut-off at the end of 69 weeks of years which was fulfilled in Passover 32 AD, leaving one full week (7 years for the Apocalypse) pending.
That is a big mouthful of prophetic literature to swallow and just try to imagine their unfolding in these present days of super lethal weapons and means of destruction and the effects they will have in the economies and Nations of the world.
If you do not know Jesus Christ and His salvation do it now when you have the means to do it.
July 16, 2019 Are we there yet? The Rapture!
