Biblical prophecy claims the Rapture is coming April 23, numerologist says

Published April 11, 2018

Is the Rapture finally here? One Christian numerologist says a biblical sign strongly suggests it.

David Meade tells the U.K.'s Daily Express newspaper that on April 23, the sun and moon will be in Virgo, as will Jupiter, which represents the Messiah.

I don't think I believe in the "rapture" as most think of it.... that Christians will be miraculously gathered up and 'saved' from any bad stuff going on in the world.  There are Christians suffering (and being slaughtered) now and that has been the case for as long as the world has existed.  Why should that suddenly change?  Anybody?

No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

That's odd. I heard that when the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligns with Mars then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars

It seems a pie in the sky misinterpretation to me.  I do believe, at Christ's return, the events described in 1 Thes. 4 will occur but I'm not sold on the "Left Behind" theology that is all the rage these days.  As for these date setters, they're nuts.

Uh... David Meade is the one who claims 'the rapture' is coming April 23rd.

Scripture and Jesus Christ make no mention of such a thing, and expressly stated in regards to the things Jesus described about the End of the Age and His Coming: "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."- Matthew 24:36.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I don't know about the 23rd, but I'm kinda worried that April 19 may be a little "interesting" this year...

Some conspiracy theories point out the number of "odd" things that happen on April 19... such as the end of the siege of the Branch Davidian compound and the Oklahoma City bombing, to name two.  The date has been relatively quiet the last few years, so...... maybe something big is coming, who knows?

Please tell him to call my social secretary. I think I might have a spot open the second week of May.

Right.  A huge percentage of churchgoers have gotten almost everything wrong in their eschatology.  They don't see any merit in anyone else's interpretations of end time Scriptural passages.  They haven't even figured out what the Millennium itself is all about.

Last year a lady with an enormously popular youtube channel said that the Lord had told her a few days before Easter to warn everyone that He was going to return last Easter. A huge number of subscribers on her channel posted excited comments thanking the lady for her wonderful revelations.  They said that inasmuch as the revelation was coming from her, they were sure it was going to happen!

Not a single commenter called her out as a rank heretic who would have been put to death if we were living under the Old Covenant.

Now that we have a professedly Christian "numerologist"--actually a soothsayer, in his case--telling us that the Lord is coming back on April 23, the only thing that we can know for sure is that He isn't going to return on April 23.

@Frank Cannon  That's only in the fifth dimension. Unfortunately we're still in the 3rd.

Wow, you have noticed the correlation that I have noticed.  (When you're doing your taxes, you should say to yourself "Well, this ain't the end of the world."  You might also try the Monty Python line "I'm not dead yet.")

I have done my taxes but haven't sent it in yet.  It has to be sent by the 17th, so the IRS will get the money before the 23rd. If Christians are gone, the IRS will still be functioning.

I just ordered four folding book cases because I am surrounded with books in the room where I work on computer.  They are stacked up on a large table top and in two large boxes and on a long built in shelf.  I can't find a book I want as they are stacked everywhere in this room.  The bookcases will get here before the 23rd, so at least this room won't look junky when Jesus arrives.  Hopefully I can take my books with me, plus Prissy the Yorkie, when this happens.  I need advance notice to pack everything, including dog food.

A rich man on his deathbed prayed to be allowed to take his wealth with him into heaven. An angel appears during his prayers and makes a deal to be allowed to bring one suitcase with him into the afterlife.  Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed.

When he dies and shows up at the gates of heaven, St. Peter stops him and says, “You can’t bring that in here.”

The man tells him he has a deal with God that says he can and once St. Peter checks his records he says: “You’re right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I’m supposed to check its contents before letting it through.”

St. Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims, “You brought pavement?”

As the comic (can't think of his name) said, "Now that is funny, I don't care who you are."
Gold streets are just one of the things that will shine in Heaven.

My new website is up as of today, https://www.marcelladerrick.com/  and there is a Bible section where I will soon be posting more articles of Bible study I have already done.
