The prophecy clearly reveals that the TRUE JESUS CHRIST will not return to Earth from Heaven (in full view of all mankind, not from some secret EU or Vatican vault or desert cave) until after Jerusalem has suffered under a gentile EU occupation for three and a half years, complete with Europe’s would-be divine emperor polluting the holy Temple just like Antiochus Epiphanes polluted the Temple before (as the prophet Daniel warned).
The Two Witnesses, representing Judah and Levi (priest and king, God’s system of government as opposed to Rome’s demonic Babylonian system), will testify against the false kingdom of God (the final revival of the wicked Roman Empire) and will testify against the would-be God who pollutes the Temple with his impure presence and fights against the biblical people who love and obey God and reject the idolatrous traditions of men.
These same two witnesses will announce the coming of our King of Heaven, the King of the Jews, the King of Israel (first and foremost) to restore God’s rule on Earth and establish literal godhood Kingdom-Family of God on Earth, liberating Jerusalem and gathering British-Israeli and Jewish holocaust survivors from the four corners of the earth, destroying the Beast and the False Prophet as foretold in the Book of Revelation.
We are given a glimpse of the “business as usual” attitude leading up to the Return of the King:
Matthew 24:37-44
37 For the coming of the Son of Man will be as in the days of Noah.
38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
42 Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
43 But be sure of this, that if the father of the family knew what time of night the thief went
coming, he would have been alert and would not have allowed them to enter his house.
44 For this reason, you must also be prepared; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think that he will come.
this writing It is not supports the “rapture” nonsense, but hits it further on the head by showing that the separation between believers and unbelievers occurs at the Second Coming of Christ: not years before to get Christians out of the Great Tribulation/Time of Jacob’s Trouble!
God will prevent some from going through such a horrible ordeal, but He will protect them here ON EARTH, not in Heaven! (Rev. 12).
We are taught that we will not know the exact day, but we will know when any day is now: just like noah knew and the world doesn’t!
Regarding the coming of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua, Christians will not be caught off guard as we are Children of Light and will not be left in the dark like the world. Notice the great contrast between us and them:
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
1 But as for times and seasons, brethren, your You don’t need me to write to you. 2 for your you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. 3 for when they say: “Peace and safety!” then comes sudden destruction upon to them, as labor pains to a pregnant woman. Y they will not escape. 4 But you, religious brothers, you are not in darkness, so that this Day surprises you like a thief. 5 All of you are children of the light and children of the day. Us they are not of the night nor of the darkness. 6 Therefore, let U.S Let us not sleep like others, but let us watch and be sober.
Come Lord Yeshua!
