(1 The 5:9) “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,” KJV. Thanks to this verse we know that the believers in JESUS will not receive the wrath of GOD during the tribulation period. We now need to figure out in what part of the tribulation is the wrath of GOD poured out.
I have already discussed this in the post The wrath of GOD and the seven bowls. In this post we saw that the Bowls represented the double portion of the wrath of GOD, and the Trumpets represented the wrath of GOD. The believers will not receive the Trumpets, and much less the Bowls.
I have also discussed that the Trumpets and the Seals are parallel event, please see The seals, the trumpets and the bowls, and The seals, the trumpets and the bowls part 2.
From these post we deduct that from the start of the tribulation the wrath of GOD is poured out, then there has to be a pre-tribulation Rapture that prevent the Christians from receiving the wrath of GOD.
(1 The 4:17-18), “[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. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” KJV. There is going to be a rapture, otherwise how could we comfort each other if there is not?
We Christians do not need a warning of the great tribulation, only the unbelievers need it. We are watching and praying as the LORD asked us in (Mat 24;42) “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” KJV. And (Col 4:2), “Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;” KJV.
The warnings of the rapture are all over the book of Revelation. All those warnings are for the unbelievers, the gentiles and the Jews. Since it is obvious that these people will miss the pre-tribulation Rapture, it will be the responsibility of the 144,000 to bring the gospel to the left behind.
The 144,000 must be Rapture to receive their glorified bodies. These bodies are the only guarantee that they won’t be affected by the wrath of GOD. This implies that the 144,000 are Raptured Christian believers, and not only that but also that they are watchmen of the LORD. They need to be to bring the gospel to the left behind all over the world.
Why are we Christians from the tribes of Israel? Because of (John 8:39-43), “[39] They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. [40] But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. [41] Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. [42] Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. [43] Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.” KJV. Only the Christians can fill the shoes of the sons of Abraham, and we understand HIS speech.
If the left behind turn and believe in the LORD JESUSCHRIST during the tribulation period, those of the Jews and of the people of the tribes of Israel will need a Rapture event before the great tribulation starts, but the gentiles will become part of the tribulation saints because they have already lost their chance. (Rev 6:9-10)
The great tribulation starts at the mid-point. (Mal 4:5), “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:” KJV. Elijah, as one of the two witnesses, will finish his testimony at mid-point after 1,260 days (Rev 11:12), “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.” KJV.
This last verse has been discussed plenty in the post Tyrus USA part II, please read it if you haven’t yet. Other point made in this mentioned post was that the Jews witnessed the Rapture of the Child (those who accepted Christ during the ministry of the 144,000) and escaped to the wilderness where they were protected for three and a half years (Rev 12).
Additionally, we must understand that the mid-tribulation rapture will happen with the Purim celebration as stated in (Rev 11:10), “And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.” KJV. This complements with (Rev 6:12), “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;” KJV. A blood moon will be present just as it is present in this year’s 2025 Purim celebration.
There are going to be two Rapture events, one for the Barley harvest (Christians), and the other for the wheat harvest (Jews). A pre-tribulation and a pre-great-tribulation rapture.
The two raptures must happen in a span of three and a half years. Since the pre-great-tribulation rapture happens at Purim, the pre-tribulation rapture must happen about 180 days offset.
I believe an appropriate date would be September-October for one and March-April for the other.
Here comes now the number 104. This number was given to me first in a dream that I had between September and October a year ago, in which I waited sited on a bus for the Rapture to happen. A person sitting next to me told me the exact time was 1:04. The next time I received this number was on another dream where the image of the dream breaks open as a paper from the top down, in the growing opening appeared the number 104.
This second dream reminded me of (Rev 6:14), “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.” KJV. And also (Mat 27:51), “And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;” KJV. This was discussed plenty in the post Tyrus USA part II.
As it has already mentioned, this will happen at mid-tribulation; the number 104 must mean in this case, the first of April and in the other case October the fourth. This year 2025, this two dates are offset by 187 days which is pretty close to the 180 days offset expected.
The Rapture of the Church must happen in the month of October and the second rapture in March-April depending on the moon.
Because I have heard some Christian brothers and sisters that say the bible calendar has completely been turned upside down, meaning the months are six month offset from the original; we should watch intently during this two dates and not be upset if one passes. Remember it can happen in six months, use them to get ready.
I hope this post brings you peace of mind as this understanding brought me. We are very close to the rapture don’t be left behind, receive the LORD right now (Rom 10:9-10), “[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. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” KJV.
GOD bless you and keep you.
