| Dear all: greetings. I hope this missive finds everyone well. I do have some good news to report: TheRaptureCult.com site is up & running once again. Praise God. God is Good.
On an admin note; there needs to be a bit of clarification of a previous statement that was made by myself concerning that the proverbial Gog & Magog war will lead directly into Armageddon. What needs to be mentioned is the fact that we will have an “intense” interlude known as the “Tribulation” that will act as a precursor or antecedent. Armageddon of course being the end game between good & evil. We all know that the Lord comes back immediately before Armageddon - Rev 16:15 “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon”.
This is but one of many verses (proof text) that invalidate the pre-trib rapture stance as being wholly untenable in scope, nature, and applicability. Unfortunately, the tribulation will be “hell on earth”. Like the group BTO once said “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet”. There will be devils, HAARP, nukes, & chaos on the world scene. Christ said if those days were not shortened; no man would survive. Spiritual survival is key whether you live or die as it says in Rev 7: 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. |

| For all the people who “overcome”; at the end of their tribulation, there will be a wedding feast:
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
All this comes with an admonition however:
Matt 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. |

| The opening salvos of the Gog Magog war have begun. We must remember that Ezekiel 38 & 39 operate on many levels and cross-breeding if you will. It’s a “real time” matrix that has kicked into its final installment. What is so amazing is how the unsearchable wisdom of God has incorporated even the names of some of the earliest Old Testament characters, then re-enacted them during Ezekiel’s time and “in the latter years” EZE 38: 8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel…”
Key points to consider:
· Gog is Georgia. Yes, that is right. So if you don’t know that “Georgia” is backed exclusively by America and Israel; then you won’t understand.
· By extension, Magog is none other than the U.S.
· The “unwalled villages (cities)” of Ezekiel 38:11 is not Israel. Israel has abundantly already created these walls as we say in the Marines as “First Perimeter Defense”. America “could” easily be overrun by its southern or northern axis. We, the U.S. also abundantly qualify for that distinction of unwalled villages. That is also why you see the concentration of our forces lined up and down on the coasts from the Appalachian Mountains east to the Rocky Mountains west. Any military tactician will tell you this.
· Christians are Spiritual Israel. When Christ hung on the cross & said “it is finished” he stated in effect there is NO MORE sacrifice for sin. You are now THE ONLY temple where the Spirit of God resides (unwalled villages). This has a territorial and spiritual thread to it.
· The Gog & Magog that it speaks about in Rev 20 embody the ideal of evil after it rears it ugly head for the last time “after” the millennial reign.
Don’t be like one of the 5 virgins who don’t have the oil in their lamps when it get’s real dark out (huge metaphor) and they are waiting to go into the wedding feast. Then it will be too late. To paraphrase that scripture – the Lord comes back at midnight in the middle of the night (darkness). Get it???
· Either you will have the right wedding garment on or you won’t.
· Either you will have your lamps trimmed and burning (for the Lord) or you won’t.
· Either you will be waiting for the Lord or you won’t.
I sincerely hope to see you at the wedding feast. I have a feeling the Lord will make it worth the wait…
Semper Fi,

Now is the time to “Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage”.
