“Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17

The LORD gave me a short message, below, on 5/5/25, which was related to being ‘CAUGHT UP’ (harpazo), also known as the RAPTURE. Many people always ask me what ‘position’ I hold concerning the ‘rapture’…..to which I can only answer what the WORD says: that it will be like the ‘DAYS of NOAH,’ and the ‘DAYS of LOT.’

I have purposely stayed away from this topic because it is ‘so divisive in the Christian community……with its man-made doctrines of either a ‘pre,’ ‘mid,’ or ‘post’ tribulation. I have always been a bit baffled on why people make such a BIG deal over just a ‘SEVEN YEAR’ period…..and can only assume that Satan has used it, for his own nefarious purposes, to bring division, deception, and disunity to the BODY…..which is the exact opposite of what the LORD calls HIS church to be!

Satan is THE MASTER of ‘twisting the truth,’ so he can control the narrative, and thus bring chaos, confusion, along with ‘doctrine of demons’ into the Body of Believers. I can just picture him laughing hysterically at the church, as he performed his lying deceptions, and got the wheels of deception turning.

However, thankfully, we do not have to rely on the doctrines of demons, or doctrines of men, but STAND solely on the WORD OF GOD that says:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36

IF you look at the next verse, it gives us the MAIN SIGN, CLUE and KEY of how to know when JESUS returns: just as in the DAYS OF NOAH, and in the DAYS OF LOT:

NOAH: “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.“For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24:37-39

LOT: “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. “Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.”Luke 17:28-30

These ‘clues,’ and ‘signs’ call for diligent study on what was happening during the days of NOAH, and LOT. In both cases, the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY removed HIS remnant people, BEFORE HE poured out HIS WRATH upon the remaining people. I

This WRATH OF GOD came upon the people because of their most SEVERE depravity, wickedness, lawlessness and violence…..much like what we are seeing, exponentially, across the world today!

There were a ‘remnant’ people, that escaped GOD’s wrath, however, they were VERY FEW in number:

In Noah’s day, there were only EIGHT people that ESCAPED the flood. The number ‘8’ stands for NEW BEGINNINGS of salvation through water of baptism/HOLY SPIRIT:

“Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.” 1 Peter 3:21

In Lot’s day, only he, and his children escaped. His wife, who loved her worldly life more, looked back longingly at Sodom, and therefore was turned into a pillar of salt……which is a good example of how we are ‘not to look back’ at the world—but, instead, move forward in the obedience of the LORD.

This LOW number that was SAVED FROM THE WRATH OF GOD is what the LORD showed me specifically while receiving the message below. This should bring the FEAR OF GOD, which is the beginning of wisdom, upon us to get right with the LORD…. through repentance, seeking humility, purity, and holiness. It is a walk that very few are willing to do, therefore, the number that will ESCAPE will be few.

This is a hard message to bring….but hopefully, it will wake many out of their slumber, so that they can serve, worship, and love the LORD with all of their being!!

“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

MESSAGES:

On 5/1/25, I heard this from the LORD:

“I come back ONE TIME…..NOT TWO!!”

This ‘word’ refers to many who believe that there is a RAPTURE, and then a SECOND COMING…..in other words, some believe that JESUS actually comes back two times.

MESSAGE RECEIVED 5/5/25 while praying:

“Only EIGHT people were saved in the times of Noah…..and it was a ‘sufficient’ number to accomplish MY will! In the same way, there will only be a ‘sufficient amount’ saved from the impending judgment of the world. For EIGHT is symbolic of the small amount….the remnant that will be left before MY FINAL JUDGMENT comes!

Did I not say that the way is narrow, and the only a few find it?

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.” Matthew 7:13

As wickedness increases, righteousness will decrease….for more, and more succumb to the deceptions that are coming. Most churches will fall into ERROR, and lead the flock astray. They will have a form of godliness, but will DENY its power…..the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! (the list below is talking about the believers, not unbelievers!)

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 2 Timothy 3:1-5

The numbers of MY true believers are growing less, and less…..not more and more….for false revivals comes, but they will not enlarge MY KINGDOM. For the delusion will be so great, that only those who spend time at MY feet learning from ME will be able to remain in ME.”

END OF MESSAGE

Later, after this message, I asked the LORD about the REVIVALS that are coming that HE has shown me in the past…..and I heard that they will come, but many will fall away because the seed that was planted in their hearts will fall on shallow ground! (Matthew 13:4-6)

This will be part of the great apostasy, where those who proclaim CHRIST, will fall away:

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thess. 2:3
