Fig Tree
Have you noticed, prophecy has exploded on YouTube recently, especially since AI became a useful tool to make fake videos? False pastors, false experts and false scholars are everywhere, and I don't know about you, but I can't tell what's real and what's fake anymore. Once again, Jesus warned us not to be deceived; that sentence is incredibly relevant in the age we are now in. In my humble opinion, our world changed drastically in the year 2020. We are now, quite clearly, in a spiritual war. The world is becoming steadily darker. One can see the darkness in people on the street or read about it in the news. Here, especially in the West, badness can be seen everywhere, and it's getting worse. Anyway, before I go any further, I remind you that Jesus told us God only knows the day and the hour when Jesus shall return. But, Jesus did tell us to learn the illustration of the Fig tree:
"Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near."
Summer, it would appear, is so near it's here already! And just as Jesus warned us, everything is aligning, the wars, rumours of wars, earthquakes, pestilence, poverty, etc, etc. If we have any understanding of the Bible, we cannot deny Jesus Christ's warnings; we are the generation that will witness His return. I have posted a video by the Christian channel AoC below, showing one of the better videos covering the recent rapture rumours. Please take time to watch it if you can.
In Hosea 6:2, the prophecy says:
"After 2 days, he will revive us. On the third day, he will raise us up that we may live in his sight."
It is thought by many—Jesus was crucified in 32 AD. As we know, in Bible prophecy, a day represents 1000 years—so 2 days in this scripture represent 2,000 years. If Jesus died in the year 32 AD, 2,000 years later would bring us to the year 2032. Then subtract 7 to account for the 7-year tribulation (7 days in the Bible), and you land at the year 2025. This is where the prophecy is coming from.
7,000 Years . . .
7,000-year history of mankind—Based on all the genealogies and ages, many scholars have calculated the years from Adam to Jesus and arrived at 4,000 years. And from Jesus to now, it is roughly 2,000 years, bringing us right to the edge of that 6,000-year mark. 6,000 years under man's rule followed by a further 1,000 years of Christ's reign. It's the same pattern as God's creation weeks: 6 days of work, one day of rest = one week, or 7,000 years.
Coincidentally, as long ago as early 2019, I studied this timeline, I arrived at 2032 too, not as the time of the rapture but the beginning of the tribulation period . . . Full story here.
I believe I was barking up the wrong tree, just as the makers of these videos are, because there is one simple fact they have forgotten to mention. The AD calendar started at 1 AD and not 0 AD. There is no year zero in this scheme; thus, the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC. The prophecy is one year out. (I think???)
Secret mystery of a growing sea . . .
One thing we can all agree on is that we must be very, very close to the tribulation period. Super close. However, according to Paul, several events must happen before Jesus returns. Paul's two letters cover eschatology (end times) or, more precisely, what will happen just before the end. We are promised an outpouring of God's Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a very personal experience and not something we can share, so it's hard to say if believers are going through an outpouring right now, although if we are to believe the fanatics on social media, an outpouring of something supernatural is happening. Paul writes of a mystery, known only to God and enlightened Christians, just before Jesus returns. A growing 'sea' of people who believe themselves good members of the church, but unknown to themselves, are falling into apostasy. For enlightened Christians, this is no longer a mystery. Wokeness, lovleyism, and Liberalism are steadily eating away at our traditional churches like a ravaging cancer.
The Man of Lawlessness . . .
Paul also warns us in 2 Thessalonians 2:2-4 that Jesus will not return until the antichrist (the man of lawlessness) has been revealed:
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshipped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
So, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the "Sons of Light," bringing wonder to all who have faith and have not put out the fire of the Spirit. God's people who have acquired His Salvation should now be enjoying the joy of being drenched in the Holy Spirit. If this is not happening to you, the Bible asks you to "stay awake" because Jesus taught us, through the illustration of the Fig tree, that we are very close to His return. Apostasy, we can clearly see, many church members have fallen away or have become disregarding of God and His values. We should also expect to hear who the man of lawlessness is in the coming weeks.
The word rapture doesn't actually appear in the Bible; however, Paul writes, God's chosen people will be "caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord!"— 1 Thessalonians 4:16—17:
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Hawkeye, a contributor and friend of mine, made a wonderful observation when watching the video below. She said, "Nowhere in the Bible does it say Jesus will come back twice." Now, if Jesus is to come back in September (pre-tribulation) just before the tribulation period, then who will be coming back post-tribulation mentioned in Matthew 24:29-31:
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
So, Hawkeye and I don't think the Rapture is going to happen in September 2025. Maybe the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, or the identity of the antichrist? We will see.
Everyone is talking about the rapture taking place in September 2025.. but is there more to the picture that many aren’t discussing? In this video, we break down a huge mystery regarding the Feast of Trumpets, and it provides even more clarity on this topic. We also explore the Two Witnesses and tribulation parallels within the Feasts of Israel that are too precise to ignore! Is Jesus about to return? Is something prophetic going to take place? No one knows the exact day or the hour, but after seeing this, it is clear the season is at the door!

7 Year Times of Trouble started January 6th, 2022. 3-1/2 year mark was July 6th 2025. That week 4 - 1000 year floods in the USA. Water broke. The birth of Yah's Kingdom is soon to come. Obey all 10 to join His family. See JesusChrist.com for more.
