FIRST-FRUITS RAPTURE? COMPELLING CONSIDERATIONS

This post consists of two parts. I believe that PART ONE, on the traditions of a Galilean Wedding at the time Jesus lived there, is not only helpful but agrees with a November 19, 2025 prophecy, which is PART TWO.
PART ONE: GALILEAN WEDDING CUSTOMS
There is a movie available on YouTube about the unique aspects of a Galilean Wedding, by a Christian filmmaker named Brent Miller Jr. (Disclosure: Our beloved Jonathan Theiben told me about this movie several weeks ago.)
The following link includes important facts about this movie: youtu.be/QAgWZ49KUp4
(In this 28-minute video interview by two prophecy teachers, Mr. Miller makes a compelling case that what Jesus taught His disciples PROVES there will be a pre-tribulation “Rapture”!)
Although we often hear that a “Jewish Wedding” pertains to Jesus and His Bride, there were local cultural differences among Jews living in Galilee (from where Jesus chose almost all His disciples). These differences greatly improve our understanding of how HOW Jesus, His Father, and His Bride relate!
I urge you to watch for yourself and ask for confirmation of the truth. But here is a summary of some key points made in the video:
* The bride had total say/choice whether she would marry the groom who proposed to her;
* If the bride accepted the proposal, the espousal was sealed by sharing a cup of wine;
* There was about a year between that covenant and the final wedding feast;
* During that year, the groom prepared the residence where he and the bride would live, by adding a room to his father’s house;
* Only the father knew EXACTLY when the wedding feast would be held;
* But the bride and groom knew the SEASON – based on various happenings, such as the room being completed;
* A shofar (trumpet) would be blown when the father sent the groom to call the bride;
* That call was often in the middle of the night;
* The bride then was CARRIED to the wedding feast;
* Anyone invited to that feast but not ready at that instant would not be allowed in.
PART TWO: WILLIAM BROOKS PROPHECY RECEIVED NOVEMBER 19, 2025 “Your Season of NOW”
This important prophecy may be read at https://eyesupandopen.org/prophecy/your-season-of-now ;
parts of it are copied and pasted below.
All of the many prophecies and other declarations William Brooks has been given by God since about March of 2024 are available at his website: eyesupandopen.org. In addition, he made YouTube videos of most or all of them, available on his channel at Spirit of Prophecy. And parts of them are available in one-hour YouTube videos of him and host, Minister Henry Green.
The November 19 prophecy is quite lengthy, but well worth reading or watching.
A big part of this Prophecy consists of information about the 144,000. The 144,000 (who are spoken about in Revelation 7 and 14) have been discussed by at least a few messengers/watchmen/prophets in recent years (including Julie Whedbee, Abby K, and Diana Pulliam). Even greater understanding of them has now been revealed through William Brooks.
As this post is being written, the latest prophecy recorded by Mr. Brooks was this one received on November 19. (And as I have read [and reread parts of] that post, it appears that literally it MIGHT be the last prophecy God plans to give to him before the first-fruits are caught up to the third heaven!
(As Sammy Omosh made SO CLEAR in a recent 444 post, this IS NOT said to be setting another date! But IT IS restating what God Himself told Brooks on November 19: that the SEASON OF NOW is here, and the catching away is very close/COULD happen on any day now – we just do not know which one!)
SO … SOME quotes from the 11-19-25 prophecy, “Your Season of NOW” follow:
The first two paragraphs:
“NOW comes Yeshua HaMashiach to tell you the wherefores to my therefores, so that you may fully hear my Words to understand the reasons that have led to this season of NOW! That you may understand the consequences to fall at one hour with the beast so suddenly and unexpectedly in this finality of NOW, and that you may be readied in all finality for full convergence that will collapse into this earth in full fiery judgment as the faithful in Christ Jesus depart instantly. Selah.
FULLY focus your heart, soul, mind, and strength in all obedience to Christ Jesus NOW as these birth pangs end suddenly NOW. Where you will be snatched so suddenly and unexpectedly now, and taken into the throne room of Adonai-YHVH.”
Selected later quotes:
“Understand who I am: I am the lamb of Adonai-YHVH and all except the sons of disobedience can repent because the servant remains not in the house of sin forever but the son. For this purpose, the Son of Adonai-YHVH is manifested that I would unloose fully and destroy every and any trace from the face of the earth all the works of Heylel Ben Shachar. And so it is: By the power of my holy spirit of promise, in which I forge you all, I undo the works of Heylel Ben Shachar [[ NOTE: i.e., Satan ]] from your lives in whatever form or fashion you are so attacked and bound.
Therefore, understand, that I Jesus the Nazarene who is also the lamb of Adonai-YHVH came to save sinners of which many of you are chief. And so it is, that Adonai-YHVH has chosen to make examples of you all in his mercy and grace that he has showered liberally on the earth by way of Christ Jesus, who is also Yeshua HaMashiach. And so, I separate and hold up examples at times amongst my faithful so that you all may know the eternal goodness of Adonai-YHVH, even The Great El Shaddai!
And so it is, my prodigal children have returned to your Adonai-YHVH in loving obedience and remained faithful in whatever task or tasks given you by my hands. Therefore, I will NOW exalt you all straight into the throne room of Adonai-YHVH!
Do you understand the magnitude of this exaltation?
HOW COULD YOU?
And this because it has not entered fully into the hearts of men the things prepared and waiting for you in my hands, you should rejoice greatly instead of watching your calendars because I am on earth already in this season of now.”
…
Now so it is, this testimony comes to a close because this season of NOW has arrived and is now fully suspended over the earth by command of Adonai-YHVH given in Christ Jesus who is also Yeshua HaMashiach. Not that my might messenger and servant’s mouth is now closed and not that Yeshua HaMashiach would not speak any longer as well. But that this season of NOW is to collapse into the earth so suddenly and unexpectedly and completely now at one hour with the beast.
Therefore, stay readied and hide yourselves from this coming destruction that you see aligning itself in plain sight and the details that will be fulfilled exactly have been declared now in this Little Book of Righteousness and I do command all who these Words will find to immerse yourselves in these Words that are tuned to find the eyes ears and hearts of all those to whom they are sent.
And so, I come in this time of NOW so that you are readied to enter the Heavens and so I command you all to go to your Bridal chambers And so, I come in this time of NOW so that you are readied to enter the Heavens and so I command you all to go to your Bridal chambers and commune with me in this finality. Because NOW is when you are taken, and NOW is where we have a moment more for you to come fully out of your sins that you may overcome in all things and receive your full reward from my eager hand.
I am Christ Jesus who is also Yeshua HaMashiach and I have sent these Words by my mighty messenger and servant and by my mighty messenger and servant have these Words been sent.
Even so that you would have great expectation of reward from my hand for all that you have faithfully carried out in service. And so that you further would see and understand my mercies that will be given to whom they will be given at command of Adonai-YHVH. That no person who is sealed by Christ Jesus hand may ever be plucked nor that anyone of you could be loosed from my hands. That is fully impossible. And so I have come to show these things in the person of Biblaridion:144 that was also shown in the person of Shaul, whom the wild olive tree call Paul, who will sit at my right hand because he is offered the right hand of fellowship, and so that is what is indicated by that phrase in your Bibles.
Stay readied and stay under my atoning blood in all things and in all ways. Focus your attention fully on me now and understand that you are to come out of this world in heart and intent because it will absolutely and so suddenly fall to one hour with the beast and the time is NOW.
Signed at my command by the Hand of Biblaridion:144 in the manner I dictate.
Signed in great love and healing compassion,
Yeshua HaMashiach who is also Christ Jesus and to my 144,000: I am your Father Yeshua.
Your times are now.” [[ END ]]
Resume comments on this prophecy and the eyesupandopen.org website:
What William Brooks was given in many Prophecies and Words makes it clear that the most faithful alive at the time of the first-fruits catching away are described in Revelation 3:7-13 – that is, the church at Philadelphia. Those “left behind” ARE Christians, but they are described in Revelation 3:14 and onward – that is, the church of the Laodiceans. They ALSO can be saved forevermore and receive GREAT REWARDS. BUT they must do so by proving their “worthiness” (by the grace of God in them!) by casting off lukewarmness and being FAITHFUL TO THE END = serving God wholeheartedly till death! (MANY will be martyred. But God has promised HE will give them the faith/strength to do so, and they will not feel the pain!) Needless to say, these also will have the FAITH to firmly resist the pressures to take the mark of the beast or any associated beast worship.
An important point from various Words to Brooks:
Brooks has been told, and has faithfully recorded, that Jesus, the Bridegroom, so LOVES His Bride that He offers all Christians who serve Him wholeheartedly NOW this opportunity to be caught up to the third heaven in TRANSFORMED bodies BEFORE Daniel’s seventieth week (Daniel 9:24-27) – which is the seven years of “Jacob’s Trouble”. That is, they WILL NOT be on earth, with their natural bodies, during the fifth-seal martyrdom (Revelation 6:9-11). –It is not, as some have remarked, a “get out of jail free card”. But it IS a BEAUTIFUL WEDDING GIFT from Jesus to His Bride – and because they faithfully waited FOR HIM despite all the ridicule and hatred others cast upon them as they sought righteousness in all things, rather than yield to the ways of the world.
The first-fruits rapture will be of fewer souls than the now-Laodicean lukewarm people who will “wake up” once the Philadelphians are taken up. They will KNOW they have been left behind when “every eye shall see Him” as He appears in the clouds with a great shout and the trumpet call!
Matthew 25 also refers to those two churches in Revelation 3, describing the “wise” and “foolish” virgins. (It is best to read Matthew 24 first, and continue into chapter 25.)
PLEASE READ: One more quote from the November 19, 2025 prophecy:
“What will happen to the unfaithful is simple: They will not be taken into eternal inheritance NOW but left behind with the judged to prove themselves faithful in martyrdom to my name. Should they find themselves worthy of this honor. Nevertheless, for all who are given this honor you will achieve salvation if you refuse to quit. So I implore you all in my ever burning love for you: Come fully out of all disobedience NOW and immediately cease ignoring my rhema instructions in this open little book so you depart fully from the ways of Secret Babylon, read and understand my Words and ask me to show you your lives, I love you eternally and evermore!
You are MY Church: My called-out Ekklesia who are gathered and sealed for my purposes in these times of grace that are over NOW. The faithful in Christ Jesus are taken from Israel starting in Judea in the days of Pontius Pilate, and then into all nations alike that truly those wild olive tree branches are NOW to be grafted into the natural olive tree eternally and forevermore. Where you are grafted into The Israel of Adonai-YHVH by command of Adonai-YHVH Himself, accomplished by my powerful hands because my faithful overcomers are NOW proven faithful in Christ Jesus, REJOICE!
Remain in ME, my loves, and do not allow your hands to remain dirty should they become soiled. Confess your sins NOW, I am here with you. I will take them from you and cleanse you fully.”
[[ END ]]
Important additional notes:
The Restrainer
In other posts by Brooks it is noted that “the restrainer” (that some have said is the Holy Spirit) actually refers to the Faithful Bride: Again, in the Father’s and Son’s LOVE for the faithful first-fruits, it is not until THEY are “caught up” that the wrath the enemy wants to pour out on all God’s people is allowed to happen!
Chronos and Kairos – Something you may have noticed
Months ago, MANY prophets/watchmen/messengers spoke of the VERY SOON appearing of Jesus in the clouds to gather together His “dead in Christ” and the “most faithful” of His among the living. Then, … mostly silence. –So that it became easy for many/most/nearly all of us to realize there was a change in what we were hearing … and many began to think one or more of the following:
* Those people were wrong, or
* Those people are false prophets, or
* God has changed His mind, or
* God has decided to provide more time [again!] before He acts.
This may be helpful: After checking several sources, I believe the following summary statements are at least basically correct (if not complete definitions!) for these Greek words used in the Bible:
Chronos has the meaning of the passage of “clock time”. That is, the linear passage of time measured in seconds, minutes, hours, years, or whatever-length periods.
Kairos has to do with events, each of which is skillfully commanded/manipulated by God to occur at just the right moment to have the maximum desired effect on the whole situation.
A recent post at 444 included the phrase that God is a “last minute God”. –That is, when God allows time (“chronos”, or clock time) to pass between a PROMISE and that FULFILLMENT, He waits until the last minute to PROVIDE, so that the waiting person has PROVEN their faith was to trust in God, no matter what! God plans and carries out events according to His Will of Kairos – for the MAXIMUM BENEFIT of the occurrence!
So … if we are disappointed that a “pre-trib rapture” has not happened yet (assuming we believed it would) … Isn’t it “JUST LIKE GOD” to have allowed enough time to pass since many were talking about it that some have “given up hope” -??!
PLEASE NOTE that in other very recent prophecies given to William Brooks, God said the following:
“… even right before the moment of kairos intersects with chronological time that is about to overtake you all” (09-24-25)
“… to sound by command at that exact intersection where chronology meets Kairos, then suddenly you will be taken instantly, in a flash …” (11-06-25)
(Notice that both Sandra West and Daniel Masika had very recent posts at 444 indicating a coming “rapture”. Is it possible that is another alert to how close we are?)
Watching: The Signs that His Appearing is NEAR
We know that Jesus tells us to “occupy” until He comes – NOT to just do nothing.
And we are told to WATCH – especially the SIGNS IN TH HEAVENS, and also events that are LEADING UP TO war, economic collapse, disruptive weather (e.g., affecting food production and distribution), diseases/plagues, etc.
McKana comes to mind as having had FREQUENT posts at 444 about wars and perhaps most importantly about the huge ROCK God has hurled toward earth that will be DEVASTATING when it hits the Atlantic Ocean near Puerto Rico on ____________________ (very soon!).
Perhaps we should end this post as McKana so often does his:
Repent! Repent! Repent!
