“Writhe and labor to give birth, Daughter of Zion, Like a woman in childbirth; For now you will go out of the city, Dwell in the field, And go to Babylon There you will be rescued; There the LORD will redeem you From the hand of your enemies.  –  Micah 4:10

Therefore He will give them up until the time When she who is in labor has borne a child Then the remainder of His brethren Will return to the sons of Israel.  –  Micah 5:3
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth. – Revelation 12:1-2
My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you  –  Galatians 4:19
But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.  – Matthew 24:8
“For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.  – Mark 13:8
While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.  – 1 Thessalonians 5:3 
For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. –  Romans 8:22

As you can see the Bible relates the signs of the approaching end times to that of a woman in labor about to give birth.  The birth pains are the beginning of sorrow that occur during the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation period when the first four seals are opened.  These pains occur as the man of perdition the Antichrist reigns upon the earth for until he performs the Abomination of Desolation in the temple … then comes the birth!  This is the birth of God’s believing remnant (Israel who escapes into the Wilderness) and the birth of God’s wrath upon the earth.. The birth after the 3 1/2 years of pain is the great Tribulation period which occurs over the last 3 1/2 years.

Isaiah 66:  7“Before she travailed, she brought forth;
            Before her pain came, she gave birth to a boy.

      8“Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
            Can a land be born in one day?
            Can a nation be brought forth all at once?
            As soon as Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons.

We have been discussing the birth pains which bring forth the birth of God’s believing sons, Israel, (Isaiah 66:8) which occurs at the mid-way point of the Tribulation but before the birth pains occur, before the 7 year Tribulation begins, a boy is born (Isaiah 66:8).  Most people believe this boy is Jesus who was born almost 2,000 years ago.  However, Jesus was not caught up to Heaven at His birth.  He was a man who ascended to Heaven on His own will and power, after His resurrection and then again after He appeared to His disciples for 40 days.  Could this male child be “the Church”, who was conceived at Pentecost with the Holy Spirit and will be born with a resurrected body at the rapture to reign and rule with Jesus Christ with a rod of iron during the Millennium Kingdom?    

And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.  – Revelation 12:5

This is a provocative concept that give birth to a “pre-tribulation” rapture of the Church, “before” the birth pains of the Tribulation.  The word “caught up” is Strongs 726, harpazó, the same word that Paul uses in to describe the rapture of the Church.

Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.  1 Thessalonians 4:17

I have been watching the signs of the approaching Tribulation period and writing about them on my web site since 2015 and I thought, like some others that on September 23, 2017, when the Revelation 12 sign appeared in the Heavens the child, the Church, would be raptured to Heaven.  I attempted to calculate the Bible timeline to see if 2017 was the year 5993 AM since creations, since I thought the year 5993 would be the last year before the 7 year Tribulation begins and the year the pre-Tribulation rapture would occur.  I found evidence to support the claim that 2017 was the year 5993 AM but neither the Tribulation or the Rapture occurred in the year 2017.  I also have come to the realization the determining the exact year since Adam’s birth is nearly impossible but I do believe we are very close to the year 5993 AM.  I have not lost hope in the soon appearing of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Actually, I am grow more and more certain each day that passes by that the day of His appearing is drawing neigh because of the “birth pain” signs in the world that I see.   

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.”   – Revelation 4:1

The advent of Technology which has given us fast communication and instant access to all the information in the world should be making us smarter and better equipped to help one another and be a good steward on planet earth.  However, it is actually having the exact opposite effect upon us.  It is making us more isolated from one another, less likely to go out and do something to help someone and more self centered.   The TV channels and Internet media allows us to block the “input” that we don’t want and absorb the information we do want.  This would be a good thing if man were inherently good but because man is inherently sinful, he by default spends his time absorbing crap “fast foot” information instead of a healthy diet of God’s and doing God’s will. 

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.  –  John 4:34

Due to our “High Tech – Redneck” world we are now in an “Information War” and people are feeling war weary and they are “feed up” with all the conflicting information because they are not “feeding” upon the word of God.

Everyone is calling for peace and love to bring us together but each person’s definition of what peace and love means is actually dividing us further apart and bringing us to the brink of war.  When people are unable to  communicating with one another there is no choice but to have a real war to settle disputes … and this is where we are in the birth pains of war!  

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  – John 1:1

In God’s eyes, nothing stands in a neutral position, you at the either moving toward God or you are moving away from Him.  There has always been a battle among men to proclaim the truth of God’s word, “logos” but now in the last days because of Technology this war has gone “global and viral” and almost all people have instant access to the truth of God’s word and they are either convicted by it and rebelling against it or they are ignoring the battle (which is to rebel against God) or the are proclaiming it! 

2 Chronicles 6:6 “but I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.”

Zechariah 8:3 “Thus says the LORD, ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.  The Lord has called “dibs” on Jerusalem!  This is God’s chosen land and His chosen people, when you defy this decree of God, then you are asking for war with God.  Who do you think wins a war with God … right … no one!

This Information War is causing people to choose sides either with God or against Him.  For when you choose what information that you listen too, you are either siding with God by “receiving the truth of Jesus Christ” or you are rejecting God by taking in the crap of the world.  Thank God, due to the Trump administration, past evil is being exposed in America in these last days.  And most conservatives are cheering and asking the DOJ and Congress to expose the evil in Pandora’s box which holds the secrets of the Clintons, Bush,  Obama, FBI, CIA, George Soros, the Illuminati and even Satan himself but don’t think these evil ones are not going to go quietly to jail.  These evil people are like a wounded and rabid animal now … dangerous and desperate to keep their deeds hidden.  More than likely, as the light of truth is cast upon these coach roaches of society, it will incite them to lash out openly with their evil deeds and cause the mayhem that will begin the Tribulation period.  I also think this why God is going to rapture and the remove the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit, so these evil forces can have their way during the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation.

I am not putting my trust in date setting or prophets who say they have had a revelation from God.  Most of these prophet have good Godly information to share but when they make a date prediction it can cause pride and arrogance which is not from God.  I don’t think God wants us to know the date but because of the signs we can know we are in the season of His return.  This hasn’t stopped my inquisitive mind from continuing to think about possible rapture dates and I am by no means a prophet or someone who writes for profit.

“Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest ‘? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.  – John 4:35

I found this date interesting because if you add 109 days or 4 lunar months to the Rosh Hoshannah date of Sept 19, 2017 it comes to January 6, 2018, which is also the Epiphany date, when the wise men delivered gifts to the Christ child.  It is also the date of Jesus baptism when He began His ministry and the Father spoke and Holy Spirit descended like a dove.  Could it be the time of the year that Jesus began His ministry will also be when the Church is taken in the rapture?  Like I said, I am watching the birth pains signs of wars and rumors of wars (tension among nations).  As these signs increase in strength and come closer together, we know the birth of the child is at hand.

As you can see the timeline for Christ return is drawing neigh as well.  I know that Jesus is not late but I want to be faithful to Him and be found watching for Him when He returns.
