SOME
WILL ESCAPE THE TRIBULATION
AND SOME WILL BE KEPT FROM THAT HOUR WHICH COMES UPON
THE WHOLE WORLD
AND SOME WILL BE PROTECTED IN THE TRIBULATION
(11/04/10)
1. Jesus' command:
Luke 21:29-36 NKJV
29 Then He spoke to them a parable: "Look at the fig
tree, and all the trees. 30 When they are already
budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is
now near. 31 So you also, when you see these things
happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32
Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no
means pass away till all things take place. 33 Heaven
and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means
pass away. 34 "But take heed to yourselves, lest your
hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and
cares of this life, and that Day come on you
unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all
those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36
Watch therefore, and
pray always that you
may be counted worthy to escape
{1628} all these things
that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of
Man."
Escape is from a root word, to vanish.
VANISH
NT:1628
ekpheugo (ek-fyoo'-go); from NT:1537 and NT:5343; to
flee out:
KJV - escape, flee.
NT:5343
pheugo (fyoo'-go); apparently a primary verb; to run
away (literally or figuratively); by implication, to
shun; by analogy, to vanish:
KJV - escape, flee (away).
Rev 12:6 NKJV
Then the woman fled {5343} into the
wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that
they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and
sixty days.
Notice this was Jesus' command to always pray:
pray always that you
may be counted worthy to escape.
Col 1:9-11 NKJV
that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will
in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you
may walk worthy
of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every
good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
=======
2. The Woman
HEARD: Escape.
PIX:
I saw the following scripture section about the woman.
REVELATION:
These people are literally translated into the
wilderness, just like Philip was caught {726}
away in Acts 8:39.
Rev 12:5-6 NKJV
5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God
and His throne. 6 Then the
woman {1135} fled
into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by
God, that they should feed her there one thousand two
hundred and sixty days.
Rev 12:13-17
Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the
earth, he persecuted the woman {1135} who gave birth to
the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of
a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to
her place, where she is nourished for a time and times
and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a
flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be
carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the
woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up
the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he
went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who
keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of
Jesus Christ.
NKJV
The women will be living on earth during the
tribulation, but safely kept in a refuge place away from
the persecution like Israel was in Goshen during the
days of Egypt's plagues.
WOMAN
NT:1135
gune (goo-nay'); probably from the base of NT:1096; a
woman; specially, a
wife:
KJV - wife, woman.
Ex 10:21-23 NKJV
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand
toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land
of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt." 22 So Moses
stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was
thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. 23
They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from
his place for three days. But all the children of Israel
had light in their dwellings.
Ex 14:19-20
And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of
Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of
cloud went from before them and stood behind them. 20 So
it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp
of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one,
and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one
did not come near the other all that night.
=======
3. The Man Child
Caught Up
Rev 12:5 KJV
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule
all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was
caught {726} up unto God, and to his throne.
CAUGHT
NT:726
harpazo (har-pad'-zo); from a derivative of NT:138; to
sieze (in various applications):
KJV - catch (away, up),
pluck, pull, take (by
force).
That Greek word is the same word used in this scripture:
1 Thess 4:17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught
{726} up together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the
Lord.
Acts 8:39
And when they were come up out of the water, the
Spirit of the Lord caught {726} away Philip, that
the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way
rejoicing.
VISION CAUGHT UP: Many years ago in the
1980's I had a vision of a fireball coming from the
east. As I saw one coming towards us, I had just enough
time to pick up my progeny who seemed to be about 4
years old, and carried him in my arms. I ran up our 3
steps and one second before a fireball hit us, I had
just enough time to look up into the sky and say,
"Thank You Father, we are prepared, we are prepared!"
Then we were both seized by the Lord's Spirit and
literally plucked out of our bodies, shooting straight
up, a microsecond before the fireball hit us. I
literally experienced the seizing and shooting straight
up into the sky and have never forgotten the feeling or
the experience. And I saw the bones in bodies were
x-rayed with brilliant light and then evaporated a
microsecond after we left them. I believe this is the
redeemed being plucked from their bodies just prior to
the bowls of wrath, for they are not appointed to
wrath. I have heard of many testimonies of people dying
and leaving their bodies. They rise out of the bodies
and do rise upwards on their way to heaven. But it is
not a sudden seizing where they are plucked out.
The manchild are those matured Christians who did not
waste their trials prior to the tribulation. Rather
they allowed death to self will to take full reign,
fully submitting to the Lord where the world had nothing
in them. They grew in their authority as overcomers,
overcoming their own fires prior to the tribulation,
allowing the fires of God to cleanse them and purify
them white as snow. They learned to rule and reign on
earth and put the devil under their feet.
I once heard the Lord say, "What comes up must come
down." I believe the manchild overcomers being raptured
prior to the reign of the beast, are changed to receive
the same kind of body Jesus received after He was taken
to heaven and then sent back down again for 40 days to
minister. He walked through walls, appeared and
vanished, ate and drank with the disciples.
John 20:17 KJV
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet
ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say
unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and
to my God, and your God.
John 20:26-27 NKJV
And after eight days His disciples were again inside,
and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut,
and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!" 27
Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and
look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it
into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing."
Acts 1:3 NKJV
To whom He also presented Himself alive after His
suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them
during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining
to the kingdom of God.
The manchild will be transported around the earth
multiplying food just as Jesus did for the disciples
within the 40 days He ministered after His death. They
will be appearing and vanishing just like Jesus did and
just like angels do and just as Philip did when taken
from the desert to the next town.
John 21:1-6 NKJV
After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the
disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He
showed Himself: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin,
Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and
two others of His disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter
said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him,
"We are going with you also." They went out and
immediately got into the boat, and that night they
caught nothing. 4 But when the morning had now come,
Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know
that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to them, "Children,
have you any food?" They answered Him, "No." 6 And
He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the
boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now
they were not able to draw it in because of the
multitude of fish.
=======
4. The Faithful
Church
Rev 3:10-11 NKJV
Because you have kept My command to persevere, I
also will keep
{5083} you from {1537} the hour of trial which
shall come upon the whole world, to test those
who dwell on the earth.
KEEP
NT:5083
NT:5083
tereo (tay-reh'-o); from teros (a watch; perhaps akin to
NT:2334); to guard (from loss or injury,
properly, by keeping the eye upon.
and thus differing from NT:5442, which is properly to
prevent escaping; and from NT:2892, which implies a
fortress or full military lines of apparatus), i.e. to
note (a prophecy; figuratively, to fulfil a command); by
implication, to detain (in custody; figuratively, to
maintain); by extension, to withhold (for personal ends;
figuratively, to keep unmarried); by extension, to
withhold (for personal ends; figuratively, to keep
unmarried):
KJV - hold fast, keep (-er), (pre-, re-) serve, watch.
FROM
NT:1537
ek (ek) or ex (ex); a primary preposition denoting
origin (the point whence action or motion proceeds),
from, out
(of place, time, or cause; literal or figurative; direct
or remote):
Matt 6:13 NKJV
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us
from the evil one.
2 Peter 2:9 AMP
Now if [all these things are true, then be sure] the
Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptations
and trials, and how to keep the ungodly under
chastisement until the day of judgment and doom,
=======
5. The Sealed
Rev 9:4 NKJV
They were commanded not to harm the grass of the
earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but
only those men who do
not have the seal {4973} of God on their
foreheads.
This verse is in the midst of the trumpet judgments and
the previous ones struck vegetation, seas, waters and
heaven, but not man. However this trumpet judgment
struck men who did not have God's seal upon them.
SEAL
NT:4973
NT:4973
sphragis (sfrag-ece'); probably strengthened from
NT:5420; a signet (as fencing in or protecting from
misappropriation); by implication, the stamp impressed
(as a mark of privacy, or genuineness), literally or
figuratively:
KJV - seal.
NT:5420
phrasso (fras'-so); apparently a strengthening form of
the base of NT:5424; to fence or inclose, i.e.
(specifically) to block up (figuratively, to silence):
KJV - stop.
Ezek 9:4-11 NKJV
"Go through the midst of the city, through the midst
of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the
men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are
done within it." 5 To the others He said in my
hearing, "Go after him through the city and kill; do not
let your eye spare, nor have any pity. 6 Utterly slay
old and young men, maidens and little children and
women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the
mark; and begin at My sanctuary." So they began with
the elders who were before the temple. 7 Then He said to
them, "Defile the temple, and fill the courts with the
slain. Go out!" And they went out and killed in the
city.
8 So it was, that while they were killing them, I was
left alone; and I fell on my face and cried out, and
said, "Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the remnant of
Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?" 9 Then
He said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and
Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of
bloodshed, and the city full of perversity; for they
say, 'The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does
not see!' 10 And as for Me also, My eye will neither
spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their
deeds on their own head." 11 Just then, the man clothed
with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported
back and said, "I have done as You commanded me."
=======
6. The 144,000 sealed
Jews
144,000 TRIBES - 144,000 Jews are sealed and
protected by God. These are sealed prior to the opening
of the 7th seal, which is 7 trumpets striking earth with
wrath.
Rev 7 NKJV
After these things I saw four angels standing at the
four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the
earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on
the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel
ascending from the east, having the seal of the living
God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels
to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3
saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees
till we have sealed {4272} the servants of our God on
their foreheads." 4 And I heard the number of those
who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of
all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of
the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; 6 of the
tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe
of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of
Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; 7 of the tribe of
Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of
Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of
Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; 8 of the tribe of
Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of
Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of
Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
This Jewish sealed gets its foundation in the same Greek
word of those sealed in the above Rev 9:4. However the
fact that this Jewish sealed doesn't use the same
identical same word, I feel may be suggesting that the
above Rev 9:4 is a different people group, although I
doubt it.
SEALED
NT:4972
sphragizo (sfrag-id'-zo); from NT:4973; to stamp (with a
signet or private mark) for security or preservation
(literally or figuratively); by implication, to keep
secret, to attest:
KJV - (set a, set to) seal up, stop.
These are the undefiled virgins and first fruits
Rev 14:1-5 NKJV
The Lamb and the 144,000
Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount
Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand,
having His Father's name written on their foreheads. 2
And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many
waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard
the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang
as it were a new song before the throne, before the four
living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn
that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who
were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who
were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These
are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These
were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God
and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no
deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of
God.
=======
7. The Hidden Ones -
Zephaniah's Prophesy, the Great Day of the Lord
Zeph 2:1-3 NKJV
Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O
undesirable nation, 2 Before the decree is issued, Or
the day passes like chaff, Before the Lord's fierce
anger comes upon you, Before the day of the Lord's anger
comes upon you! 3 Seek the Lord, all you meek of the
earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness,
seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden
{5641} in the day of the Lord's anger.
HIDDEN
OT:5641
cathar (saw-thar'); a primitive root; to hide (by
covering), literally or figuratively:
KJV - be absent, keep close, conceal, hide (self),
(keep) secret, surely.
=======
8. The Bride - those
who keep oil in their lamps
The bride must make herself ready by walking in holy,
unblemished white garments without spots or wrinkles.
Those who are not ready and walk in defiled garments
will wash them in the tribulation by the blood of Jesus
Christ. (Rev 3:4-5; 7:14) Only 50% of those who now
call themselves Spirit-filled Christians will be able to
see in gross darkness to go MEET the Lord when the cry
comes - the rest will go through the tribulation because
their lamps went out. (Matt 25) Jesus told us to
ALWAYS pray that we would be worth to escape these
things. (Luke 21:36)
Matt 25:6-10 NKJV
6 "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the
bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!' 7 Then all
those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the
foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for
our lamps are going out.' 9 But the wise answered,
saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and
you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for
yourselves.' 10 And while they went to buy, the
bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with
him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
2 Peter 2:5-6 NKJV
...but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of
righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the
ungodly;
Matt 24:38-40 NKJV
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, 39 and did not
know until the flood came and took them all away, so
also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
=======
9. The Salted Ones
Will Not Be Trodden
Scripture promises the church that they are to keep
their salt, and if they do not, they will be cast out
and trodden under foot.
HEARD
10/27/10: It's all about NOT made with
human hands. It's what My Spirit can do through you.
PIX:
I saw the following 2 scripture sections with emphasis
on being trodden under foot.
Rev 11:1-3 NKJV
Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the
angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of
God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave
out the court which is outside the temple, and do
not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles.
And they will tread {3961} the holy city underfoot
for forty-two months.
Luke 21:20-24 NKJV
"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,
then know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let
those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those
who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those
who are in the country enter her. 22 For these are the
days of vengeance, that all things which are written may
be fulfilled. 23 But woe to those who are pregnant and
to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there
will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this
people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword,
and be led away captive into all nations. And
Jerusalem will be trampled {3961} by Gentiles
until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
[Lord I know You showed me the a connection between
these 2 scriptures, what is it?]
HEARD:
Where is the praying church?
QUICKENED
MEMORY: He brought back the scripture and
revelation I had received when I saw the 2 scriptures:
Matt 5:13 NKJV
"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses
its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good
for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled
{2662} underfoot by men.
TRAMPLED
NT:2662
katapateo (kat-ap-at-eh'-o); from NT:2596 and NT:3961;
to trample down; figuratively, to reject with disdain:
KJV - trample, tread (down, underfoot).
This word trampled #2662 is from the same #3961 as the
above 2 scriptures I saw:
TO TRAMPLE
NT:3961
pateo (pat-eh'-o); from a derivative probably of NT:3817
(meaning a "path"); to trample (literally or
figuratively):
KJV - tread (down, under foot).
NT:3817
a primary verb; to hit (as if by a single blow and less
violently than NT:5180); specifically to sting (as a
scorpion):
KJV - smite, strike.
Rev 9:5-6 NKJV
And they were not given authority to kill them, but
to torment them for five months. Their torment was like
the torment of a scorpion when it strikes {3817} a man.
[Lord where IS the praying church?]
QUICKENED MEMORY: He brought the following
scripture before me but this time with emphasis on those
who worship inside the temple. They are measured and
protected and NOT trampled underfoot, left out,
expelled, cast out, or ejected.
Rev 11:1-3 NKJV
11 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And
the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple
of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2
But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and
do not measure it, for it has been given to the
Gentiles. And they will tread {3961} the holy city
underfoot for forty-two months.
LEAVE OUT
NT:1544
ekballo (ek-bal'-lo); from NT:1537 and NT:906; to eject
(literally or figuratively):
KJV - bring forth, cast (forth, out), drive (out),
expel, leave, pluck (pull, take, thrust) out, put forth
(out), send away (forth, out).
REVELATION: So the word trodden is related to
judgment and those who have salt will not be judged.
HEARD: I agree with you.
CONFIRMATION
10/27/10
Someone sent me an email the same day I heard the above:
"WOW! - heard this morning Psalms 91 for most of the
Body... 1000 may fall @ your side and 10000 @ your right
hand, but IT (destruction) will not come NEAR YOU!"
Ps 91:5-10 NKJV
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
