Planetary Signs Pointing to an Impending Rapture

I was partially aware of the Planetary signs that were pointing to a Rapture. And in the process of writing the other 5 articles about the Rapture, the World Events, the coming of the Two Witnesses, the Third Jewish Temple being rebuilt, and the Red Heifer Sacrifice that must happen, I learned more about the Planetary signs pointing to an impending rapture. This article will logically follow the other articles, as it is TIME.

I have been watching sermons on the Bible's last Book of Revelation for the last 3 decades. Many preachers said that the book of Revelation is allegorical, which it is, and peeling back the layers and understanding the truth of what is written took me time and loads of patience. But a lot in the book of Revelation does really hinge on the Planets, the Sun, the Moon, the stars, and planetary alignments which have been taking place ever since the Old Testament, where Joseph in the old testament even sees dreams of the Sun and the Moon bowing down to him with the eleven stars, which referred to his father and mother and the eleven brothers. His brothers hated him for it, because he was a dreamer, and he dared to say aloud his dreams. Then the birth of Christ happens.

When Jesus Christ was born 2000 years ago, the wise men, called the Three Magi, who were distinguished visitors from afar off who visit Jesus after his birth, bearing three gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh in homage to him." Gold symbolizes Kingship, Frankincense symbolizes Priesthood, and Myrrh symbolizes his Death and Burial. So King Herod asked them to let him know where Baby Jesus was after they had worshipped him. But when the wise men were warned by an angel to depart another way for King Herod meant to harm little baby Jesus, the wise men heeded, and took off in another direction.

When King Herod found out that the Wise men had given him the slip, he was enraged and ordered to put all the babies under 2 years old (as he had calculated this to be the baby's age from listening to the Wise men) and so the soldiers put to death all the babies under 2 years old. Mothers wailed uncontrollably, refused to be comforted at this horrible carnage that King Herod wrought upon Israel.

But my point is this: The three wise men followed a bright star that led them to where the Baby Jesus was. The divine sign of a star leading the magi in their travels from where they lived to where Jesus was, was a Planetary sign - Astronomy, not to be confused with Astrology.

God established the Sun, the Moon and the Stars and said in "Genesis 1:14 New King James Version 14: Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;"

So when God says that the "lights in the firmaments of the heavens will be for signs and seasons," then he means exactly that.

Very similar to the Genesis verse, is Luke 21:25 New King James Version “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; . . . and the signs bring trouble and distress of nations.

In Acts 2:19 New King James Version, God says, "I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke."

However, my title is Signs pointing to the Rapture. God brought about specific signs to show that the Rapture is about to take place.

But for the people who doubt the Rapture will take place, God gave us examples in the Bible as precursors to the Rapture taking place. So also, he will remove the righteous before the 7 year Tribulation visits the earth. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He never changes. His character never changes.

God brought the animals to Noah up in the ark and after 7 days the floods came upon the Earth.

God urged Lot through the angels to depart to the the city of Zoar, before he could rain fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah. The angel of the Lord said, "He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. [22] But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” Genesis 19:21-22

God waited for righteous Lot and his daughters to reach the town of Zoar before he could destroy it. Lot's wife disobeyed and looked back, she became a pillar of salt.

September 23, 2017 was a major mile marker when the planetary signs symbolized the Birth of a male child which happens through a virgin. It is guarded by a lion (LEO) which is the Lion of Judah or Jesus Christ. Other planets like Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter are aligned along with the Sun and the Moon. This is revealed in Revelation 12, verses 1 and 2 which says: "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. [2] Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth." And verse 5, And her Child was caught up to God and His throne." which child is likened to the body of Christ, the bride. This planetary sign is linked to the paragraphs below. It's been 7 years that have passed silently and very few people have noticed it happen, or really care about it.

Revelation 12, verse 6 says: "Then the woman (the nation of Israel) 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." The woman is likened to Israel or the collective Jewish people who are hidden by God from the anti-Christ. God keeps his people safe.

Ezekiel 4: 6 where the Lord equates 7 days to be 7 years. In the book Ezekiel 4:6, New King James Version God says, "And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side; then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have laid on you a day for each year." Rightly so, the siege of Jerusalem took place in 70 AD, which was 40 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And from this 70 AD, if we go back 40 years that would determine the year of Jesus Christ's death which is 30 AD. He was 33 years old at 30 AD so subtract that and you get 4 BC or 5 BC because there is an adjustment that needs to be done when crossing over from BC to AD., I believe the 0 B.C has to be included as a full year. But this is a digression. We are actually trying to find out when the rapture will be. And to do this, we have to go back to the birth of a male child, the tradition that is followed.

In the Bible, the Jewish tradition, Leviticus 12 speaks of the birth of a male child, "Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [2] “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a woman has conceived, and borne a male child, then she shall be [a]unclean seven days; as in the days of her customary impurity she shall be unclean. [3] And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised."

Going by this logic and the earlier one where I said 1 day represents a year, then the years between 2017 and 2024 become a full 7 years. The 8th day will be 2025, when the circumcision has to be done by Jewish law. This can also symbolize the only transformation which is the Spiritual circumcision of the collective body of Christ, the church or bride of Christ. We will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 New King James Version [51] Behold, I tell you a [a]mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— [52] in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. [53] For this corruptible (body) must put on incorruption, and this mortal (body) must put on immortality.

After the rapture happens sometime towards the end (Fall season) of 2024, then the 7 year Tribulation begins prophetically, which goes on to 2031 which is when the 2nd public coming of Jesus Christ happens. The entire world will see it. All the Jews will mourn for him and be grieved that their forefathers put Jesus to death, the innocent lamb, whose blood was shed for the sins of the whole world.

Read John 3:16 which says: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." God does not want you or anyone else to perish. You will face eternal life separated from God and he does not want that for you. All you have to do is cast your ego aside and believe in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, so that by believing you will not perish but have eternal life and live it with God.

As simple as this is, many people allow their intellect to reason with and dispute this Bible verse, saying "How can one man give me eternal life?" They also go as far as to cast doubts on the divinity of Jesus Christ, saying that He was born a man and died for starting a rebellion against the Roman empire. They make excuses and cancel out their own eternity. Why would anyone do that? All it takes is SIMPLE FAITH and the ability to have a HUMBLE HEART to acknowledge the deity of JESUS CHRIST, who IS THE SON OF GOD. Believing this will absolutely guarantee you a place in heaven.

2031 is the year when the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ begins. We are at the door of being raptured, it can be any minute now. The Tribulation lasts 7 years, so subtract 7 years from 2031 and you will get 2024. As Jesus said in the Bible, "No one knows the DAY or the HOUR," which is rightly so, because only God, his father knows when the 7 year Tribulation clock should start.
