Many Christians are a familiar with the verse that suggests "No one knows the day or hour". I am here to tell you that what Jesus was saying is that no one knows the "EXACT DAY OR HOUR", but that day will not overtake you if you listen. It is on "FEAST OF TRUMPETS". Most Jewish people understand that "No one knows the day or hour" is a famous idiom that points the their holiday (Feast of Trumpets) also known as "Rosh Hashana". The reason that it is known as the feast where no one knows the day or hour is because It is based on the first sighting of the moon on Tishri 1. We know it is one of two days, just not the actual date or hour, because it can be one of 2 days.

I also want to point out the scripture verse "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.²For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.³For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.⁴But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 1TH:5:1-4 (strongly encourage read the entire chapter).

The original purpose of Feast of Trumpets was to mark the beginning of ten days of consecration and repentance (aka 10 Days of Awe) followed by the "Day of atonement" for forgiveness of sins and purification. The "final" day of atonement (aka Yom Kippur) is when the gates of heaven are closed, before the beginning of the tribulation.

I thought the rapture was going to happen last year, but I am always ahead of my time. Most "watchmen" believe this will be the year, so I highly encourage everyone to repent and do not quench the spirit during this period. If nothing notable happens prior to Oct 12, you likely won't hear any more religious posts from me again until this time next year.

One final note, I went back and forth with my belief regarding the Rapture until it all became much more clear once I understood the ancient tradition of the Jewish Wedding, and how it relates to how Jesus will come to get his bride (Marriage of the Lamb)

NOTE: Typically the Last trumpet is blown on the first sighting of the moon on Tishri 1. This year it has not yet been sighted in Israel...and they don't blow the trumpet if on sabbat for it is a day of rest. It is assumed that GOD will blow the Last Trumpet when it falls on a saturday. Tomorrow is last chance for a 2024 Rosh Hashanna Rapture. There is also supposedly a Solar Flare tomorrow.

Regarding prayer…Scripture is very clear that prayers are often unheard and fall on deaf ears. (john 9:31,Psalm 66:18,Is 1:15,is 59:1,pro 21:13,prov 28:9,james 1:6, and many others…feel free to do your own research, but these scriptures are evident).

First we should define what prayer is. Prayer is spiritual communication between yourself and the “Holy Spirit”. When Jesus died, he made a covenant to give us the gift of the Holy Spirit. One could argue that people can pray to a God, gods, or something besides the holy spirit. I don’t argue that point. The point of this writing is “scripturally speaking”. I guess it depends on whom, if anyone, you wish a response from.

So the first question is how do you know if you have the Holy Spirit. Jesus said “no one can say JESUS is LORD except by the power of the Holy Spirit. (1CO 12:3). Also, when you accept that Jesus died on the cross and repent of your sins, you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (EPH 1:13-14 & 1John 14:15). Also we are informed not to “quench” the holy spirit, fortunately, we can at any time ask for forgiveness of our sins and if you are “sincere”, you will be forgiven and purified into righteousness (1 John 1:9). The question is do you truly believe and are you truly sincere. God says anyone that truly believes overcomes the world. These are questions you need to ask yourself (1 John 5:4).

If you meditate and make this effort and are sincere, Jesus understands we are human and will continue to fail him. Thanks be to God, that he has grace, and we have been sealed with his Holy spirit, and may ask for forgiveness…again it is a matter of sincerity. Our flesh struggles against the spirit, but make sure you do not approach prayer with dirty hands or unbelief. Meditate on what it means to overcome the world. If you are in unity with the Holy spirit, you will feel his comfort, and you will realize that He is in the Father, you are in him, and he is in you….you will know without doubt…thank you Lord!

This is when you should approach him, and he will hear you, and he will answer you. Maybe the answer isn’t what you expected or thought you wanted, but he knows your needs and desires more than you yourself do. Many times, you will learn how he answered you later. Also, the more versed you are, the better you know and understand him, and the more you can reason with him. You will find he has all the traits you could ever want from a best friend, and that he also has a sense of humor and that he loves you very much, and wants your friendship and love in return.

I usually can tell when my prayers are heard and when they are not, even if I don’t get an immediate answer or an answer I was expecting. It is also for this reason, that I know that I no longer need to be concerned for 2 of my non-believing siblings, that I know they will find their way…I don’t know how, but I know they will…thank you Lord..i await unity and harmony of that day.

My ADD kicked in Again…back to the point of being more versed and ability to reason. You need to acknowledge he is in control, and has a plan, and that he knows our needs better than us…things need to be according to his will…hence it doesn’t make sense to pray for world peace, when prophetically things will happen according to his “word”. A better prayer would be to pray that you may overcome and endure, and to give you strength to assist in his word…this of course is just an example, how you may approach your own needs and desires….ask for wisdom and understanding.

Anyway, the whole point is that I wasn’t trying to be mean in suggesting that “maybe” my sisters prayers weren’t being heard…I never had the opportunity to try to explain myself better…all my beliefs are based on scripture alone, and many times when I open my mouth, I lack the patience and understanding of the other persons emotions and their own understanding. Many times, I forget that not all people think the same, and that I am the unicorn….in hindsight, I can clearly see how telling someone “maybe their prayers aren’t being heard” would come off as very abrasive and confrontational, when all I truly meant was to extend my love to them.

In closing, I understand there are many different kinds of prayers. Prayers can be a request, adoration, understanding, or simply friendship…I had to google…supplication, thanksgiving, adoration, intercession, and confession. I am mostly referring to prayers of request (e.g. supplication).

I will actually make it a point to do my own scriptural research to see if the individual types of prayer are even addressed scripturally. Many years ago, I did a deep dive into prayers and the Holy spirit in general….which brought me to the understanding that many times prayers are not heard, and that we need to be “one with the spirit” and with clean hands if we wish to be heard.

A study on prayer could not be complete without mentioning what Jesus himself said when his disciples asked, how should we pray (matt 6:9-13).

“‘Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹Give us this day our daily bread.
¹²And forgive us our trespasses,
    as we forgive those who trespass against us.
¹³And lead us not into temptation,^[a]
    but deliver us from evil.^[b]’

I personally would put emphasis and meditate on "your will be done" & "give us this day our daily bread". Jesus tells us he is the bread of life, and that when he leaves he will leave us with the holy spirit. I believe for this reason, that we are to meditate on the holy spirit as our "daily bread", and put our effort on doing the will of the father as guided by the spirit.

It has been awhile since i posted an update, so I felt it was time. Scriptures say all nations will go against Israel. Previously I said I didn't know whether that meant that USA would be nuked and taken out of the picture or that USA would turn it's back on Israel. After seeing Kamala's speech after meeting with Netanyahu, I can see strong possibilities with the next administration turning it's back on Israel, but nuclear war is still not off the table as a means.

With the assasination of Hamas leader, and IRAN vowing strong vengeance, I can also see the prophecy of destruction of Damascus on the near horizon. Iran will likely use Syria to stage its war on Israel, and i can see too many missiles for iron dome to handle where Israel is left no choice but to nuke Damascus...It's the only thing i can see as a current possibility for the "Damascus destruction prophecy" to happen.

Although a lot of the signs were pointing to the tribulation beginning Feast of trumpets (Sept 2023), and that is where most of the watchman community believed, a new video was just released TODAY by the channel that I put the most trust in concerning dates. Most theologians understand the 7000 year plan and that the date can be calculated, but he discovered a "mystery" (i haven't studied yet), but I place a lot of trust in his study, which pushes the year back one year. This is also the FIRST time that author has actually given a date, where many watchman have been guessing dates for some time. I trust him a lot because he is more devoted to the original text than anyone else i know, and his channel should be watched. In a way, I am happy, as it gives me more time to prepare, and it has lifted a great amount of weight off my shoulders. I will devote more time to studying timelines in scripture that I am able to fully convince myself, where before I felt there wasn't enough time.

UPDATE 07/31 – Added "Events" to left pane. Added crazy world events happening today that are paving the way to fullfill tribulation prophesies (e.g. anti-christ, one world govt, one world currency, beast system buy/sell, etc...I will make it's own page soon with links to actual stories. Added "scripture for non-believers" to left pane. Made many edits to site including updates to my own current beliefs. Added new upcoming topics. Reformatted website and changed font for better readability.

Several people reached out to me since I started writing, and it is has been such a blessing to be able to share with others about their beliefs. In my audience there are Christians, Atheists, Jews, Buddhist, Catholics, Messianics, agnostics, and others. I also realize that some may find my sharing offensive to their faith. I TRULY don’t understand that concept as I have never felt offended by anyone that shared their beliefs with me. On the contrary, I have always respected anyone that cared enough about their faith, where they would want to share. I consider myself very accepting of others beliefs, even if they don’t match my own beliefs. Growing up, I was raised Catholic, and I have always had friends of different faiths, and I even married a Jewish woman. When I was searching “truth”, I considered all faiths and I even bought a couple of books that spoke of, and compared differences of different faiths (internet wasn’t readily available back then). I have always hated reading, and have never even read a fiction book in my life. I simply don’t like reading because of my Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), so it was very odd for me to buy “ANY” book, but I was extremely passionate about finding “truth”. Even today, I am perfectly comfortable talking to others about any faith. I see most people are not comfortable about talking about their faith, even fellow Christians, which I “TRULY” do not understand, because God’s word teaches and commands us to share. But then again, I have always been very unique, and always considered myself an outcast and misfit in society. It is very rare that I relate to anyone. I live a very lonely life. I never asked my wife to convert, and it was never a stumbling block in my marriage. She converted years after we were first married, and never once that I recall did I ever once ask her to convert, and I don’t ever recall preaching to her. She converted at a Harvest Crusade, even when we were separated, but she may have memories I don’t recall. Anyway, back to the point. I TRULY don’t understand why anyone would find it offensive for someone to share their faith even if it didn’t match their own. I would EXPECT everyone would seek “their truth” such that they would be comfortable with it enough, that conflicting views would not be offensive to their beliefs? Although I was raised “relatively” strict Catholic (e.g. FORCED to go to church, FORCED to go to CATHOLIC school, baptized in their belief, plus MUCH more. But as an adult, I was free to seek on my own accord, and I did so with EXTREME PASSION. I wanted to know my purpose, but mostly I wanted “TRUTH". In the end, there is only "ONE TRUTH", and everyone should seek to know their creator and once they find what they believe, they should want to share it?! I considered all faiths in my journey. I prayed for wisdom (one of only a dozen things I have ever prayed for with passion). After several months of many hours of intense research, my search was over. I was able to find every answer to all of my questions in life. I found every answer in the Bible and in a logical, spiritual, loving and profound way. That is, all my questions but one were answered… the only question I had that I had difficulty with was “WHAT KIND OF A GOD WOULD DEMAND OR EVEN DESIRE WORSHIP”. It was the only difficulty I was having at that time. Sometime later, I was at a “home fellowship” group where they prayed, studied, and worshiped together. I enjoyed the studying and praying part, but I couldn’t understand why God would desire worship. While everyone else was worshiping, I found myself meditating on WHY God desired worshiping. I then had an “out of body” vision that I cannot put into appropriate words. I felt myself melting, and my body shook as I left my body. It was as though I was in another dimension, and I saw and experience love and harmony that is incomprehensible. My prayer was answered and the answer was that, it is not for God that we worship. It was that we may share in his love and harmony with believers and God for our own comfort. When I came out of it, everyone was staring at me, and I didn’t know anyone there, and the leader said, some people are able to meditate at higher levels. To this date, I have tried on numerous occasions to get back to that same experience without any luck. I still don’t know what my outward appearance was, why when I came out everyone was staring at me, and why the leader said what he did. No one questioned me, and I was (and still am) very shy. I was very dizzy when I left not knowing what had happened. Since that date, I have accepted Jesus and the Bible as my only faith. I realize no 2 people have the exact same faith, and I Respect everyone’s faith, and I still do not understand why anyone would have any difficulty about sharing their own faith, or why they may find it offensive if someone else desired to share their faith. I just chalk it up to me being the social misfit that I am, unable to understand why people think the way they do. Anyway, I sincerely apologize if I ever offended anyone. I figured I was only making a fool of myself when I elected to start in on this journey, but I was “simply being obedient” to my creator. Because of my shyness and ADD, it is never easy to share with others, especially when I know through years of experience that whenever I do, it only leads to problems. That is simply the story of my life. As a skinny, freckle faced kid, that couldn’t pronounce my R’s, had a last name that rhymed with WEENY, and had ADD, and was a “brain child” (in those days it wasn’t “cool” to be a nerd.….i was picked on, bullied, and beat up many times, even by girls. I learned at a very young age that I would never fit in, and as such, I have always marched to the beat of my own drum. I love the show “Sheldon” and “good doctor”, and whenever I see reality tv with people with ADD or just a little crazy, I “love” those type of individuals, because they are accepted, and i just feel misunderstood. I truly have love for all

UPDATE 07/26 – Not all who have the gift of salvation will be raptured and escape the wrath of the tribulation. You may have been sealed in the spirit and been given the gift of eternal salvation, but unless you are prepared, then you will not celebrate in the rapture.( matthew 25:1-13, Those that endure patiently (Rev 3:10), Those that keep the faith and long for his coming (2Timothy 4:5-8). Mikes Editorial>> Doesn't it make sense that those that love, obey, and anxiously await will be greeted with favor than those that are saved but dead in sin and darkness?

Matthew 25 is a parable about being watchful and being PREPARED for the wedding between Christ and church (no one knows the day or hour). Here, we are commanded to be watchful, if we wish to celebrate in the rapture and the wedding. The reader must interpret what it means to be watchful and prepared with enough oil. My interpretation is that scripture teaches that besides being “watchful”, that the holy spirit must be alive within us. I know when I sin and don’t repent, I am not right with the spirit and the spirit is quenched. Words that God has put on me for this website are to REPENT & OBEDIENCE to grow in grace. The fact that the parable says He doesn’t know you, suggests to me that you don’t have the spirit or that it is not alive within you. What is evident, is that we are commanded to be watchful and to be prepared with “enough oil”. Oil is used for atonement. If all those that have the gift of salvation will be raptured, why does he command us to be watchful and to be prepared with enough oil? This suggests to me that although all who believe will have eternal salvation, but only that are watchful and obedient with the Holy spirit will enjoy the benefits of the rapture (marriage supper of the lamb), but will need to be tested for strong faith that they are true believers, that they did not believe in vain (1 co 15:1-2 ).

UPDATE 07/23- I put download links at top of this website to a few rapture videos and a windows installable Bible. I suggest you download the videos and bible before Artificial Intelligence (AI) removes them. ArtificiaI Intelligence is already being used to rewrite and distort “true Christianity”. China is actually using AI to re-write the bible. Others have even used AI to write sermons and made it appear that famous people are giving them. The distortion of “truth” is prophesied.

…also I wonder what kind of wild story “fake news” will use to explain those raptured (aliens perhaps) ?

Other thoughts: what will be the one world currency that is prophesied? Currently underway BRICS, AI CHATGPT WORLDCOIN, FEDNOW. My guess is that it will be a digital BRICS, and the path is already set. FEDNOW is already in use in USA and being implemented at major banks with "links to our accounts" without our knowledge....you probably keep getting letters and notices about policy changes, and if you dig deep enough, you will find they are paving the way.

(Matthew 25:1-13)“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

I woke up and believed God put it on my heart to be more enthusiastic about sounding the ALARM. There are many prophecies that point to the year 2030 as the 2nd coming of Jesus which will be preceded by a 7 year tribulation. The beginning of the 7 year tribulation is marked by the confirming (strengthening) of a covenant by the anti-christ (see Daniel 9:27 below).

A potential covenant is the one to be signed in Sept 2023...so bizarre that this United Nations (UN) covenant is shaping the way for a one-world govt and one-world currency. If you don't believe it, you can read all about it on the UN's website. Very weird United Nations goal is (see goal 17) to confirm for 7 years to meet their goals by 2030. Seems like a very odd goal if you didn’t know it was prophesied (smile).

Daniel 9:27 = he will confirm (actual word means to strengthen) a covenant for many for 7 years...exactly what is announced to happen on UN’s website. (The rest of this verse is about the destruction of israel, where Lord will step in...yes, israel will go back to doing animal sacrifices, Israel has recently purchased red heifers also prophesied). More about this verse. See also Matthew 24

Right now, Israel is not allowed to do animal sacrifices at the temple (Jordan is in control of the temple). But I believe it is very feasible, that Israel could be going to war very soon, that could pave the way for animal sacrifices. This war is not the final war of Gog&Magog, where Iran and Russia will join in to destroy the temple just before the 2^nd coming of Christ (Matthew 24).

Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.” At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.” Rev 19:9-10

God has put it on my heart to emphasize grace by his blood, that if you believe Christ died on the cross and shed his blood for our sins and confess with your mouth, then all of our sins are forgiven and we stand righteous, and we will enter his Kingdom by his grace. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2 (esp 8-9)

I am proud to be married to a jewish woman who converted to christianity of her own desires! I was born again over 40 years ago!

I share the belief among many, that the “end time is drawing near”. This has led me back into the word of God. Soon I believed I had a calling to provide scripture on how to avoid/endure the upcoming tribulation. In my first efforts, I soon realized that my research was likely more for myself than for others. I have been living in fear, anxiety and hatred of world corruption for quite awhile, and I had a lot of anger inside of me. I hated this world and didn’t want to be a part of it anymore, even more so with America. I believe God has blessed America because we accepted him, but now we have shamed him, and believe we will soon suffer.

Probably the biggest thing I learned is that, although I have always known that God is in control, I was so tangled in the weeds that I let the world’s corruption cause anger within me. The more I got back into God’s word, the more I could see that God IS in control, and that he has a plan as he continues to demonstrate his word of prophecy. Although he commands us to be watchful, he also commands us to remain in remain in repentance. I have learned that as long as I do these things, I can once again experience calmness and joy. john 15:7-11 2 peter 3:9

I was living in a slumber for several years. I had a lot of anger inside of me because of world affairs and politics. I am very aware of weapons of mass destruction and delivery advancements and how USA has fallen behind. I have known for some time that we likely would not survive much longer. I was amazed to read recently that over 40% of the population believes we are in “last days”. The angrier I got, I realized there was nothing I could do. Something shook me out of my slumber, and I knew instantly that I needed to get back into God’s prayer and fast. Like everything I do, I do with passion. I recommitted myself to the Lord, and I have been praying and reading pretty much non-stop for a couple of months. It was put on my heart to email people I knew, that I haven’t been in touch with for years. I started a website. I bought some business cards and a Yeshua Baseball cap. As soon as they get here, I am going to start passing them out as much as possible. I really am a very shy introvert and I have ADD, so this is difficult for me. I know I will be looked at as an outcast and thought of in crazy ways but I am simply being obedient to where I am being pulled. I have a fire burning inside of me and I have a calling to alarm others to repent, obey, and confess their sins, and prepare for the resurrection.

Even before all of these thoughts of a resurrection, I believed a nuclear war was imminent. It just seems like too many things need to happen before a 7 year tribulation would be sufficient time to accomplish all that is prophesied, until I realized that everything is already in place if USA were nuked, eliminated, and things could happen very quickly.

UPDATE: After writing above yesterday, i watched a video today where someone shared a vision that mirrored my own beliefs and back it up with scripture, so i will provide a link below for that video. The scripture he gave were verses that relate to the prophecy where there will be a NEW WORLD ORDER (NWO), a one world government, a one world currency, and he provided a scripture based timeline of things to come. The the "10 King" NWO will wage war against Israel, but will lose (we all know by scripture that Israel will never lose and that whoever goes against it will be defeated) Zech 12:3 Right now everything is in place for a NWO except for that USA is in the picture today...the only thing left is for USA to be taken out of the picture, and I believe that day is upon us. Anyway, check out the video. The only thing I can say, is that I was not pulled out of my slumber for NO REASON. I have been called to share people’s attention to:

I don’t know the day or hour, but it has been my belief for a long time that it would be on “Feast of Trumpets” as a play on words, because it is a Jewish Feast (New year), where people know it will occur in a 3 day span in September, they just don’t know the day or hour. Other high watch times are Day of Atonement and the signing of the UN Covenant slated for Sept 19. Anyway, God call us to do the same thing regardless of when things will occur. Repent, obey, confess, watch every day.

Mikes Logic>> If you believe him, you will believe his word to give you the holy spirit to comfort you and guide you. If you allow him to guide you, you will love and obey him. If you obey him and love him, you will place him first before all things. If you place him first, you will want to establish a relationship with him. If you establish a relationship with him, you will learn to love him and learn to love others as he loves you. If you obey him, you will confess your sins to him and he will forgive you. if you believe him, you will entrust yourself to him, and you will have joy and happinness in all things. If you do all these things, you will be righteous and fit for his kingdom along with others that are like-minded, and you will enjoy hapiness with him and your loved ones for all eternity. All of this you may have by simply asking. God loves you, won't you love him back?!
