The Wedding of the Bridegroom Has Come

The time of GENTILES is coming to an end and Jesus is coming back for His bride so that we will be prepared to return to earth together in Jesus’ SECOND COMING.

Romans 11:25 “For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;”

The Bible encourages deep engagement with Scripture, which is the foundation of truth. Jesus, the Living Word, reveals truth through the Scriptures. BELIEVERS are to immerse themselves in His Word to understand and live by the truth.

Revelation 19:7 “Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.”

As the time of the Gentiles draws to a close, Jesus is returning for His bride to prepare them for His second coming to earth. The Bible calls BELIEVERS to engage deeply with Scripture, the foundation of truth, and to immerse ourselves in the Word to understand and live by its teachings. This preparation is essential as we anticipate the glorious marriage of the Lamb.

The Fullness of the GENTILES is Coming to an End

The Father is turning back to Israel. All of Israel will be saved by King Jesus.

Romans 11:26 “and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”

As the era of the Gentiles concludes, the Father is turning His focus back to Israel. Scripture assures us that all of Israel will be saved by King Jesus, heralding a time of renewal and fulfillment of God's promises to His chosen people.

Isaiah 45:17 “Israel has been saved by the Lord With an everlasting salvation; You will not be put to shame or humiliated To all eternity.”

There is a Great Deception Coming Upon the Earth

Once Jesus returns for His Bride, the BELIEVERS, satan will no longer be restrained.

2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;”

After Jesus returns for His Bride, BELIEVERS will be RAPTURED, and satan will no longer be restrained, unleashing a great deception upon the earth. The mystery of lawlessness will be fully revealed as satan, the deceiver of the whole world, exerts his influence unchecked.

Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.”

Once BELIEVERS are RAPTURED to Heaven with Jesus The war on earth continues. satan and the anti-Christ will bring forth THE GREAT TRIBULATION.

Matthew 24:21 “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.”

After the RAPTURE, when BELIEVERS are taken up to heaven with Jesus, Satan and the antichrist will unleash the Great Tribulation—a period of unprecedented suffering and chaos on earth. This time of trial will be unlike any before, most will die…but those who BELIEVE or endure to the end will be purified and redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

Revelation 7:14 “I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

satan Will Be Free to Deceive the Whole World

But God has another plan. During the Great Tribulation, the earth will see the Greatest Harvest of BELIEVERS the world has ever seen.

Matthew 24:14 “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

During the Great Tribulation, satan will unleash widespread deception across the globe. However, God has a sovereign plan: this period will witness the greatest harvest of BELIEVERS in history. The eternal gospel will be preached to every nation, tribe, and tongue, culminating in an unprecedented turning to Christ.

Revelation 14:6-7 “And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.”

With the Church, the Bride of Christ Gone, evil will torment and attempt to destroy all BELIEVERS. satan and his dark hordes will war against the truth and His people Israel.

Revelation 12:17 “So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.”

With the RAPTURE taking the Church, the Bride of Christ, from the earth, evil forces will intensify their torment and attempts to destroy all remaining people, especially NEW BELIEVERS. satan and his dark hordes will wage relentless war against the truth and the people of Israel as well.

Daniel 7:25 “He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.”

Jesus said, “LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU!”

IT IS CLEAR! Jesus warned over and over again, LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU. Beware, after the RAPTURE many false Christs will come forth and claim they are the savior. Many antichrists will come forth.

Matthew 24:4-5 “And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.”

THERE MUST BE A LOT OF DECEPTION BECAUSE JESUS WARNED US OVER AND OVER AGAIN. He said, “After the RAPTURE, many false Christs and antichrists will emerge, claiming to be the savior. Stay vigilant and discerning to avoid being misled.”

1 John 2:18 “Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”

In Defense of the Truth

BELIEVERS are called to DENY themselves, LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES, and be willing to lose everything and even die. BELIEVERS are called to remain in the truth even to death.

Luke 9:23 “And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”

FOLLOWERS are called to defend the truth with unwavering commitment, even to the point of denying themselves, laying down their lives, and facing death. This sacrificial dedication to the truth is at the heart of following Jesus.

Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.”

satan and the antichrist Represent Man’s Religious-Political System of Evil

The world system is built upon human wisdom, slavery, control, manipulation, lying, and murder.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 “that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.”

satan and the antichrist symbolize a corrupt religious-political system rooted in human wisdom, slavery, control, manipulation, lying, and murder. This system deceives and leads many astray with false signs and wonders.

Revelation 13:13-14 “He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life.”

Mystery Babylon is Being Revealed

As stated in PART 1, MYSTERY BABYLON is the evil system that causes the whole world to be deceived and enslaved. Mystery Babylon represents a deceptive and enslaving system that permeates the entire world, drawing people away from the truth and into spiritual bondage.

Revelation 17:5 “and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery: “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

This system, described in Revelation as "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH," is a blend of religious, economic, and political corruption that manipulates and controls humanity through falsehood and idolatry.

Revelation 18:23 “and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.”

As the end times approach, the true nature of Mystery Babylon is being exposed, revealing its insidious influence over the nations. The Scriptures warn that this system's downfall will be complete, extinguishing its deceptive light and silencing its corrupt influence forever. According to the Bible, the beast destroys Mystery Babylon.

The American Church is the Apostate Church

New York City, the great HARLOT is the Mystery Babylon. The HARLOT rides the beast. According to the Bible, the Beast hates the HARLOT and will turn against her and destroy her. America, symbolized by New York City, is depicted as the great HARLOT of Mystery Babylon. This HARLOT, deeply entangled in worldly systems and driven by corruption, rides the beast, signifying her alliance with oppressive religious, political, and economic powers. However, this relationship is destined for betrayal.

Revelation 17:16 “And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the HARLOT and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire.”

The beast, representing these very powers, will eventually turn against the HARLOT, leading to her desolation and destruction. The apostate church in America has become a dwelling place for demonic influences and a prison for every unclean spirit, embodying the fall of Babylon the Great. As the prophetic scriptures foretell, the downfall of this once powerful but spiritually corrupted entity is inevitable and serves as a stark warning to BELIEVERS to remain faithful and pure.

Revelation 18:2 “And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.”

We, BELIEVERS, are Called Out of Babylon

Babylon has fallen and it will be judged. In the first acts of the Great Tribulation, the antichrist and the beast and those who serve them will destroy the mystery Babylon, destroy New York City, the HARLOT. America and its people will suffer. Those who miss the rapture will be left behind, and they will suffer through the tribulation. Most will die, many will turn to Jesus and declare Him to be LORD as they die in their new faith.

Revelation 18:4 “I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues;”

As BELIEVERS, we are called to separate ourselves from the corrupt and fallen systems of Babylon. Any church refusing to preach the truth of the Gospel, especially the Rapture is by default supporting Babylon. According to Scriptures, Babylon, as a symbolic entity, representing the pinnacle of worldly deception and spiritual adultery, is destined for divine judgment. As a matter of fact, as outlined in Scripture, in the initial stages of the Great Tribulation, the Antichrist and his forces will turn against Mystery Babylon, bringing about its utter destruction. I believe this is New York City, which symbolizes the great HARLOT.

Revelation 18:8 “For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.”

John, in Revelation of Jesus Christ urges God's people to come out of Babylon, to avoid participating in her sins and to escape the impending plagues of pestilence, mourning, and famine. The downfall of Babylon is a divine decree, and her judgment will be swift and severe, underscoring the Lord's mighty and just nature. BELIEVERS must heed this call, by Grace, living in righteousness and preparing for the imminent appearing of Jesus.

Mystery Babylon, New York City Will Be Destroyed

Mystery Babylon must be destroyed so that the antichrist can rise through the two beasts. Mystery Babylon, represented by New York City, is prophesied to face complete destruction to pave the way for the antichrist's rise through the power of the two beasts. Revelation describes this catastrophic event, where the dragon stands on the seashore, and a beast emerges from the sea, symbolizing a powerful and blasphemous political entity.

Revelation 13:1 “And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.”

Another beast rises from the earth, displaying the deceptive appearance of a lamb but speaking like a dragon, embodying a corrupt religious authority. The downfall of Mystery Babylon signifies the end of an era of immense corruption and spiritual adultery, allowing the antichrist to consolidate his power and begin his reign of terror. This pivotal event marks a significant shift in the end times, leading to the end of the Great Tribulation and the eventual return of Christ and the establishment of His Kingdom on earth.

Revelation 13:11 “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon.”

The Bride of Christ Will Be Removed from the Earth in the RAPTURE

According to the Bible the antichrist will destroy Mystery Babylon and render her powerless before He turns on humanity in his failed attempt to destroy them. The Bride of Christ, representing the true BELIEVERS, will be removed from the earth in the RAPTURE, signaling the beginning of the end times. Following this divine event, the antichrist will rise to power and swiftly move to destroy Mystery Babylon, a symbol of corrupt world systems epitomized by cities like New York.

Revelation 18:7 “To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’ “

This destruction will strip Babylon of its power and influence, fulfilling its prophesied torment and mourning for its pride and sensual living. Heaven and the saints are called to rejoice over Babylon's fall, as it marks God's righteous judgment against the wickedness that has plagued humanity from the beginning. With the Bride safely with Christ, the antichrist will then turn his wrath towards humanity, ushering in a period of unprecedented tribulation and suffering.

Revelation 18:20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her.”

America, We are Called to REPENT and COME OUT OF BABYLON

Religion comes to kill, steal, and destroy. The religious spirit is the spirit of the antichrist. America is being called to a profound repentance and a decisive break from the corrupt and deceptive influence of Babylon.

John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

This symbolic Babylon represents not just a geographical entity but a pervasive system of false religion and moral decay that seeks to kill, steal, and destroy the true essence of faith. The religious spirit fueling this system is none other than the spirit of the antichrist, which denies and opposes Jesus Christ.

1 John 4:3 “and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.”

People that miss the Rapture are LEFT BEHIND. Therefore, we are urged to recognize this religous spirit, repent of your complicity with her, and come out of Babylon to avoid sharing in its impending judgment. Jesus offers abundant life in contrast to the destruction wrought by false religion and the antichrist spirit, calling His followers to live in truth and righteousness as a gift of Grace.

The Spirit of Babylon is Debt, Violence, Extreme Lust, Sorcery, Forced Slavery, and Torment

The Bride of Christ, the Ambassadors of God are called Home to heaven through the RAPTURE so that the Great Tribulation can come upon the earth, the final judgment, before Jesus’ 1,000-year reign begins. The spirit of Babylon embodies a pervasive and destructive influence characterized by debt, violence, lust, sorcery, forced slavery, and all kinds of evil torment. This malignant Babylon spirit corrupts societies and ensnares individuals in a web of moral and spiritual decay.

Revelation 18:24 “And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth.”

As the Bride of Christ, BELIEVERS and ambassadors of God are called to leave behind these corruptions and wait to be RAPTURED to Jesus, thereby escaping the impending Great Tribulation. This period of intense judgment will purify the earth and pave the way for Jesus' 1,000-year reign.

Revelation 20:4 “Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”

In this pivotal moment, by Grace we are empowered to fulfill our divine mandate. Pastors, Teachers, and BELIEVERS, the Great Commission is our urgent call. Let us bring one billion souls into the Kingdom of God before the imminent Rapture.

Ephesians 2:4-10 "But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."

Stand firm on the ROCK of Jesus Christ, spread His Gospel with unwavering resolve, and prepare for the greatest end-time harvest in history.

Ephesians 3:14-21 "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."

Together, let us be PIONEERS of HIS KINGDOM LEGACY, working tirelessly to build His Kingdom and ensure His truth endures. The time is now. The harvest is ready. The King is coming. Act now and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
