This was posted today on Five Doves by Gerry Almond.Although I've never seen him post anything stating he believes in a pre-wrath rapture, the content shouts it very loud and clear. Enjoy!!!

"I-SON, the coming of the Son of Man?"


Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Please read with discernment.


I believe the following to be true as of this date, October 12, 2013. I present this as an analysis for your consideration. I am not saying that November 7 is the date of the rapture, but I am speculating that it is a date of importance. Our going home could be before or after that date, but I believe it to be very, very soon.



In a dream/vision of Sparrowcloud9, she was told by Jesus that 40 moons were yet to be from some start point to the end of the Church Age. If the start point is the “comet” ISON’s appearance as the sign, then it counts as follows:



40 moon = 29.5 x 40 or 1,180 days.



From an end point, below of December 24, 2016, the first day is to be October 1/2, 2013, the very day the U. S. Government shut down. Is this the sign of the end upon us? Will the intransigence of political will be used of God to destroy once powerful America? Only time will tell, but the danger is nevertheless very real. Brothers and Sisters, a time of intense watching has come to those of us astute enough to recognize it, I believe. Now is the time that we need to comfort and encourage one another.



To clarify as simply as I can:



1. October 29/30, 2008 saw now President Obama deliver his pre-election speech to millions and millions of people worldwide on all networks in which he vowed to change America and the world. This began the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy.



2. Midpoint came 1,260 days later with two massive slip earthquakes on April 11/12, 2012.



3. Exactly 1,260 days later will be September 23, 2015, the Jewish Feast of Atonement. I posted on www.Fivedoves.com back on September 13, 2013 an article entitled “Time to Watch with Me”, explaining how I believe that September 23, 2015 is the end of the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy found in chapter 9 of his book in the Bible. I also explained in that work that the 120 years of Noah’s call also applies to modern Israel, re-gathered into her ancient homeland. Mark Biltz, Seattle pastor whose work identified the tetrads of eclipses coming in 2014 and 2015, which the one of import now ends precisely September 23, 2015 is also explained.



4. From August 29, 1897, the very first Zionist Congress after 1,827 years of dispersion of the Israeli people until the tetrad date of September 23, 2015 is exactly 43,125 days, just 75 days short of the total count in 120 years of 360 days each as in the days of Noah. This total is 43,200 days. These 75 days are described in Daniel chapter 12 and when added to the mix, ends December 7, 2015.



Parenthetically, these 75 days do two things of Bible import:



a. The first 30 days is for mourning by the Jewish nation because of the crucifixion death of their Messiah. Their wail will be unlike any wailing ever heard, so great will be their grief.



b. The 45 remaining days does 7 things found in Daniel 9:24. They are:



Ø to finish the trangression

Ø to make an end of sins

Ø to make reconciliation for iniquity (the bent toward sinning)

Ø to bring in everlasting righteousness

Ø to seal up the vision

Ø to seal up the prophecy

Ø to anoint the Most Holy (One)



5. To December 7, 2015 is to be added the Jubilee year of 354 days (29.5 moon days x 12 months), during which the Jews are all brought home, their debts are forgiven, and the slaves are set free (from sin’s bondage). The Jubilee year ends November 25/26, 2016.



6. I also noted in the article aforementioned that I believe the Hebrew calendar in use today is at least a month off, as others have so aptly pointed out as well.



7. I also believe that we must add the 21 days delay of Daniel 10 to the start point and count from there. I also believe that 10 more days is needed for the 10 degree adjustment made in the days of King Hezekiah (2 Kings 20). This totals 31 days. From October 1, 2013 to November 1, 2013 is 31 days.



Altogether, here is what I theorize:



“Comet” ISON (I-SON) is at the very least the sign of the Son of Man (Matthew 24:29-31). It may also contain or is the returning vehicle or vehicles, coming to get Jesus true Church. As has been pointed out on August 26, 2013, by a You Tube presentation by Believer’s Central the following information and proposition: that ISON will, according to NASA, first be visible to the naked eye on November 7, 2013. If this is so, and if this is the “sign of the Son of Man”, then we need the following to happen:



1. The sun must be darkened (vs. 29)

2. The moon must not shed her light (vs. 29)

3. The stars must fall from heaven (vs. 29)

4. The powers of heaven must be shaken (vs. 29)

5. The sign of the Son of Man must appear in heaven (vs. 30)

6. The tribes of the earth must ALL mourn (vs. 30)

7. The Son of Man will be seen coming in the CLOUDS of heaven with power and great glory. (vs. 30)

8. The angels must be sent by Him to gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (vs. 31).



This takes place immediately after the “tribulation of those days”. This is not God’s Wrath known as the GREAT TRIBULATION, but rather the first part of the troubles which began in 2008 with economic downturn worldwide.



Consider each of the 8 things above in light of ISON coming now:



1. November 3, 2013 will see a total eclipse of the sun (sun darkened)

2. November 4,5,6, will be the new moon (moon not give its light)

3. November 7, according to NASA is when ISON will become visible to all.

4. ISON is pushing meteors, meteorites and small comets before and after it. These will impact the earth causing destruction, power failure and the powers of heaven to be shaken.

5. ISON may be and is, I think, the sign of the Son of Man. It is I-SON.

6. All peoples will mourn as all the world’s children disappear in the rapture.

7. Earthlings will see the Son of Man in His glory and may even see the saints go up.

8. Angels will begin to gather all God’s elect together, including the Jews back home?.



These events, which have been ascribed to the second coming and not the rapture may instead be ascribed to the rapture and not the second coming. Consider that at the time of the second coming, there is little world left. It is largely destroyed and the armies of the world, such as they are, are at Armageddon. So all tribes, for example, could not mourn because they are no more?



There may be, of course, several days over which this occurs. The sign of the Son of Man may appear (as a heavenly cross, perhaps?) November 7, but it may be some time before the rapture may occur. I don’t know, but it looks like a November event to me.



I think we need to look at ISON as much more than just a so called comet.



If the above is true, then just 7 days before ISON appears on November 7 is October 31/November 1. That is Halloween and All Saints Day. In church lore, All Saints Day is the day of resurrection of the saints, after satan’s demons which fought the resurrection of the saints are defeated on Hallowe’en, which is said to be the most evil day of the year. Does this put a 7 days time value on the word “remain” in I Thessalonians 4: 16-18? “We who are alive and REMAIN” is found in verse 17a. Does the “we who are alive and remain” mean a 7 days time element between the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the taking of the living saints?



I really, really hope this is the time. Maranatha
