What Stephen saw:
Acts 7:55-56
King James Version
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost,
looked up stedfastly into heaven,
and saw the glory of God,
and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened,
and the Son of man standing
on the right hand of God.
Faithful Stephen saw all that, but before he could finish, the Greeks finished him off, silencing what would have been a great voice speaking in the LORD's behalf, reminding them of the history of Israel, and GOD's covenants with her.
Acts 6:9
King James Version
9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue,
which is called the synagogue of the Libertines,
and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians,
and of them of Cilicia and of Asia,
disputing with Stephen.
Had they let him finish, he would have spoken about the RETURN of the "Just One":
Acts 7:52-54
King James Version
52 Which of the prophets
have not your fathers persecuted?
and they have slain them which shewed before
of the coming of the Just One;
of whom ye have been now
the betrayers and murderers:
53 Who have received the law by the
disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
54 When they heard these things,
they were cut to the heart,
and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
When will JESUS return?
First, the givens --
Matthew 24:37-39
King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mark 13:32
King James Version
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels which are in heaven,
neither the Son, but the Father.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-4
King James Version
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren,
ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief.
2 Peter 3:9-10
King James Version
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.
10 But the day of the Lord will come
as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away
with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat,
the earth also
and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.
The HOLY SPIRIT also gave me an important clue, when I was still a baby Christian in 2020, something we wrote as "MYSTERY of SALVATION":
Romans 11:25
King James Version
25 For I would not, brethren,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest ye should be wise in your own conceits;
that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
That particular phrase, "until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in", particularly caught my attention.
The phrase also reveals the salvation of Jews and Gentiles are linked, with GOD giving Gentiles a chance for salvation, too.
We wrote more on that through this article:
Another clue SPIRIT led me to, this time wherein JESUS spoke of Israel:
Matthew 23:39
King James Version
39 For I say unto you,
Ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye shall say,
Blessed is he that cometh
in the name of the Lord.
Then yesterday, SPIRIT led me to a 23-minute interview on Chuck Missler, which was recorded 13 years ago:
From that, I got several more clues to the return of JESUS.
What Missler calls "prerequisite conditions":
Hosea 5:15
King James Version
15 I will go and return to my place,
till they acknowledge their offence,
and seek my face:
in their affliction they will seek me early.
Acts 3:19-21
King James Version
19 Repent ye therefore,
and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ,
which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive
until the times of restitution of all things,
which God hath spoken
by the mouth of all his holy prophets
since the world began.
Repentance and restitution.
Stuff to think about.
JESUS also warned of His return.
That we may know what to do, before that happens:
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
On 14 January 2020, JESUS specifically led me to the Rapture, wherein it could occur any moment:
"The Most Intriguing Words of Jesus For Me"
We have been given warnings, prophecies, all through Scripture.
The only question is, who will heed the LORD's call to repentance, and salvation?
I have, that's why I'm able to write this.
I hope you listen, too.
GOD is beyond time.
He is MASTER of TIME.
Look at some proof:
2 Peter 3:8
King James Version
8 But, beloved,
be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day.
That's why it's all PREPARATION now.
Be part of the Rapture; not the Great Tribulation.
Neither will you want to be there on the "day of the Lord", when JESUS returns, with His feet upon the mount of Olives, battling with nations who have come up against Jerusalem.
There will be no more Canaanite in the "house of the Lord of hosts".
The last five years of our writing, as born again watchman, has been towards warning people, and waking them up on the imminence of the Rapture.
For it is the next event in GOD's timeline.
And it was the task JESUS gave me.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Take heed, dear friends!
Pray to be born again, and turn from your sins.
Time to TURN/RETURN to the LORD now.
Matthew 24:13
King James Version
13 But he that shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved.
John 3:3-8
King James Version
3 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.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth: so is every one
that is born of the Spirit.
Romans 10:9
King James Version
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.
Romans 10:13
King James Version
13 For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved.
