The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Psalms 90:10
Fourscore = 80 years. Israel will be 80 May 14th, 2028. Will Israel be “cut off” and “we fly away”?
Now that Trump has taken office, what does that mean for our nation, for the world? The president has certainly made a slew of changes since taking office and is determined to turn our country around while possibly exposing much of the evil that has been done in our nation and perhaps around the world. However, evil will not turn over and flee but rather, it is here to stay until the feet of Jesus stand in that day upon the mount of Olives (Zech. 14:4).
It is highly unlikely we will see the Gog & Magog war unfold while Trump is in office, plus there are still more prophetic battles to take place before that major war commences in the future.
PM Netanyahu recently stated, “During my recent visit to Washington, I said that Donald Trump is the greatest friend that Israel has ever had in the White House.” The U.S. ties with Israel are now perhaps the strongest they have ever been. If we continue down that path, then we can expect more blessings upon this nation as God’s Word confirms.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: Genesis 12:2-3
With multiple lawsuits, a biased media, and at least two known attempts of assassination, Trumps return to the presidency was nothing short of a miracle. Today’s technology enables news to travel instantly to almost the entire world and the world has been watching the U.S. intently these last four years. Many may now suspect the Rapture and coming 7-year tribulation have now been pushed out further. I believe it to be the opposite and it’s possible that God is now preparing His Church to be taken out.
The word “trump” has some very interesting meanings. As a verb, it means to outdo or surpass. As a noun, it means a person or thing regarded as precious or special and something that gives one an advantage, especially one held in reserve. Christians are precious and held in reserve of the Rapture. Concerning the Rapture, Paul states we shall all be changed at the last trump. The “last trump” indicates there will be a bare minimum of two “trumps” to complete the Rapture. The first “trump”, the dead in Christ shall rise and the last “trump”, we that remain.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Cor. 15:51-52.
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: 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. 1 Thess. 4:16-17
Maybe you are now thinking, “don’t be ridiculous, how can you compare the “trumps” to a sitting president? Surely this is just one big coincidence?”. Is it just a play on words? Maybe not. Trump had a first term already and is alive and remains in his last trump at the presidency. There are no coincidences when it comes to the Lord’s work. The One World Order and God’s wrath is still coming, but the Church has been given more evidence to see the Day of the Lord approach. Christians ought to observe the signs of the times. The term “as ye see” means it is no secret.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25
Perhaps Matthew 24 explains it best. Let’s walk through it.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 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, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Matthew 24:36-41
The coming of the Son of man in the future will be very similar to the days of Noah. The world will be churning along like any other day, nothing out of the ordinary, just everyday life events taking place. People will once again be oblivious to what is about to take place. As Noah and his family entered the Ark to survive the coming flood, the Rapture of the Church will take place for those that are alive and remain prior to the 7-year Tribulation.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Matthew 24:42-44
Christians are commanded to watch regardless of world conditions, for the Day of the Lord shall come when ye think not. In other words, the world will not be in chaos at His coming. It will be a surprise to most of the population including Christians. This is confirmed again with the conclusion of Matthew 24 and the evil servant. For even the evil know they have a Lord.
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 24:48-51
God will allow the devil’s millennial long conspiracy of a one world order to commence, but only as He pours out His wrath on an unbelieving and unrepenting world. Yes, the word “conspiracy” is mentioned exactly 10 times in the KJB.

2020 – a double dose of maturity, but the maturity of what? Interpret the information as you see it, but one thing is for sure – something big is coming.
The number 20 in the Bible represents maturity. Proverbs is the 20th book of the Bible, a book of wisdom and maturity.
And the children of Reuben, Israel’s eldest son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; Num 1:20
This reference of “twenty years old and upward” is found 40 times in the scriptures. Some interesting dates that took place 40 years ago or 20 plus 20. Forty in the Bible represents a period of testing.
- Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty signed 26 March 1979 but did not become effective until January 1980. We know from the Bible that this treaty will be broken at some point. See The Tower of Syene

At what age can a groom come for His bride? At the age of maturity. Today, on this Easter Sunday 2020, the churches around the world are empty just like the Tomb. Is that a foreshadow of what’s to come? Is the fruit ripe, mature for the harvest? Or could it be that we are about to see the outpouring of the Holy Spirit like never before bringing millions to Christ in order to mature the church? The word Redemption is used exactly 20 times in the Bible.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Col 1:14
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Eph 4:30
Redemption: deliverance, especially from the penalty of sin
Do you see what is about to happen most likely before the end of Passover April 16th 2020? The first time in history of man.
Rapture, Resurrection, Reformation, Redemption – what will it be? Maybe all….
He Is Risen!
The writer of Hebrews tells us that we, the church, would be able to “see the day approaching”. That day would be the rapture and the end of the church age for those of us that are watching. Today in a sense, we know we are living in the last days by developments in Israel and around the world. But yet, we really don’t know exactly how close we are to His return.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching Heb 10:25
Interestingly, the word approaching, is used only two times in the bible. Number two; the number for divisions. The other reference is made in Isaiah chapter 58. If you did not already know, the book of Isaiah is like a mini bible. In other words, every chapter of Isaiah makes a reference to every book of the bible in order. The 58th book of the bible is Hebrews.
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins Isa 58:1 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God Isa 58:2
In chapter 58 of Isaiah, the Lord exposes the hypocrisy and shallow worship of His people; then and now. The word trumpet is used as a warning against sin rather than the blessed voice of God calling us home 1Co 15:52, 1Th 4:16.
Much has been said in the media about the Trump administrations “peace plan” for Israel, its’ borders, and the Palestinians. We don’t know the details yet, but surely would involve monetary grants to some of the surrounding neighbors of Israel and the changing of borders with Israel and their neighbors. The Trump team recently recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli land. The details of the plan probably will not be released until after the Israeli general election that will be held on April 9th of this year. Will Netanyahu remain in office, or will another prevail?
We know by bible prophecy that this covenant, if embraced, will not last as God never intended for the original land He gave to the Jewish people to be divided. And we know there are yet many regional prophetic conflicts waiting to be fulfilled most likely before the beginning of the Tribulation. Some of those below.
- Isaiah 17 – The burden of Damascus
- Isaiah 19 – The burden of Egypt
- Jeremiah 49:34-39 – Prophecy against Elam
- Ezekiel 38 – Gog, the land of Magog
What if part of Trump’s peace plan includes the building of the third temple? Secretary of state Pompeo, whom is a Christian, recently posted a video on his twitter feed of his recent visit to Israel when he met with PM Netanyahu. Towards the end of the short video, it shows a model of what would be the third temple. View the video here: https://twitter.com/SecPompeo/status/1109083029430067200
Everything is already in place for the establishment of the third temple. Establishing the third temple as part of the U.S. backed peace plan/covenant would certainly be enough to get the ball rolling and would give Christians a real, undeniable, confirmation that the day is approaching and the church age is coming to an end! Then would we not “exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching“? Exhorting means to strongly encourage, comfort, and strengthen.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate Dan 9:27
After much prophetic regional conflict occurs (listed above), Daniel 9 tells us the antichrist will confirm the covenant. The wording suggest a previous covenant (Trump’s peace plan?) had already been implemented to some extent (and obviously broken), and that he (the antichrist) would confirm it. To confirm something means to establish the truth, accuracy, validity, or genuineness of; to make valid or binding by some formal or legal act; sanction; ratify. You get the idea. The passage does not say the antichrist creates the covenant, but confirms it.
Keep your eyes peeled after the April 9th election to see what may be in store with the upcoming U.S. peace plan. One can always hope……
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Tit 2:13
If we want to know where we stand on God’s prophetic clock, we must always look to the nation of Israel, for Daniel’s 70th week – the seven year tribulation – is all about the country of Israel.
The book of Matthew was written between 50-55 A.D. and Jesus warned at the beginning of chapter 24 that their temple would be destroyed.
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. Mat. 24:1-2.
The book of Hebrews, written to the Jewish people, was written around 65-67 A.D., so the Jewish people were well aware of Matthew’s prophecy for the destruction of their temple by the time Hebrews was available. Hebrews 10:25 talks about an approaching day and later in verse 37 speaks of the soon coming of Christ.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Heb. 10:25
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Heb. 10:37
For the Jewish people of that day, they saw the day approaching as the destruction of their temple and was fulfilled in 70 A.D. by the Roman Empire. For today’s Christians, what would that day approaching be? It would be the 70th year anniversary of the establishment of modern day Israel and the soon return of our Lord to follow. Israel will be 70 on May 14th, 2018.
Some interesting facts on Netanyahu, current Prime Minister of Israel.
Do all of those 9’s mean anything? Maybe, maybe not. Though one can’t help but wonder…
So what are we to make of Israel turning 70? At the very least, it is with almost certainty, that God’s prophetic clock will start once more as much needs to be done before the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week and will take perhaps a year or longer to have all in place. For 7 is the number of God’s program on behalf of man; when God is doing something for man, as in the 7000 year plan for mankind or the 490 weeks for Israel or the 7 years Nebuchadnezzar lived as a wild beast in the wilderness. You get the picture. If we are not taken out of here soon, we will see major prophecy begin to be fulfilled, and there are many waiting in the wings.
When do we leave? Well before Daniel’s 70th week as Jesus told us in Matthew 24.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 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, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Mat. 24:36-42
As you can see, it will be an ordinary day just like today when our Lord returns. We cannot confuse this passage with Jesus physical return at the end of the 7 year Tribulation because at that time, most of the world and 2/3rds of the population will be destroyed and no one will be getting married, given in marriage, or be eating and drinking in a celebratory way.
It will happen as Paul says “in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump“, 1Co 15:52. Just like when we see a bolt of lighting. “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” Mat 24:27. “And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south” Zec 9:14.
I have a ticket out of here on flight #777 with Blessed Hope Airlines on a Titus 2:13 jumbo jet given to me by the Captain Himself. He even promises a free set of incorruptible luggage at the end of the flight and the most wonderful supper I have ever had!
What? Don’t have your ticket yet? Don’t miss the boarding call!! You can ask the Captain for one; His name is Jesus and it is absolutely free. No works needed or waiting in line. Just free for the asking!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jhn 3:16
The story of the bible is an epic fight for a Kingdom, a fight between Good and Evil. Since the beginning of the story, the KING has provided a way for each dispensation to make an eternal decision for which side they chose to join.
The most High God and Possessor of Heaven and Earth Gen 14:22, originally gave the kingdom to the high Cherub Lucifer Eze 28:14. After his fall Eze 28:16 and destruction of the earth 2Pe 3:5, the kingdom was given to Adam Gen 1:28 where he was told to “replenish” the earth. But Adam also fell from grace Gen 3:22 and Satan took the kingdom back 2Co 4:4.
Good and Evil already existed at the time of Adam and Eve Gen 2:9. The great accuser Rev 12:10 wanted his kingdom back and enticed Eve to eat of the fruit Gen 3:5. The term “good and evil” is used exactly 7 times in the bible. The fight between good and evil Eph 6:12 and the Kingdom will continue until the KING comes to take it by force Mat 24:30 giving it back to the saints Dan 7:22, but not until the message of the Kingdom is preached in all the world Mat 24:14.
The bible speaks of “in that day” 112 times, most referring to the 2nd coming of Christ. Do you realize that out of the 6 thousand years of human history, God placed you in the most exciting time of all? We know we are very close to His coming Luk 21:31 and we can see the day coming Heb 10:25, 1Th 5:4.
Israel recently turned 69 years old as a nation. Next May Israel will be the ripe age of 70, the years of a man Psa 90:10. The number of people from Jacob that entered into Egypt and later became slaves was 70 Exo 1:5. Israel was held captive by the Babylonians for 70 years Jer 25:11, Jer 29:10. The Jewish people had 70 weeks of desolation appointed unto them Dan 9:24. After Christ death on the cross, the temple was destroyed and the nation of Israel dispersed in 70 A.D. In this passage, Jesus is telling Peter an atonement for Israel’s sins and finish to the transgressions would not be in place until the 490 years of desolation pass; 70 times 7 Mat 18:22…..
We have been in a calming period from a prophecy perspective since December of last year. It “seems” as if the world is normalizing – the calm just before the storm. Jesus said it would be just another day when He takes us home Mat 24:38, Mat 24:39.
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Rev 22:20
Looking for that Blessed Hope!
