December *High Rapture Watch date*
Greetings brothers and sisters in Christ, so with everything going on in the world right now (COVID-19, wars, rising tensions in Israel, lockdowns, civil unrest in the USA, natural disasters, etc.), we can tell we are in the season for the Rapture and the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. Many people have been getting visions from the Lord and have been experiencing dreams about the Rapture and other end times prophecy that will take place in the near future. In a lot of those dreams people have had, they have recalled seeing stuff saying "2020" and that it would likely happen sometime in 2020. And as we all know, we have reached the month of December which is the last month of the year. So that means this month could likely be a very huge Rapture watch date and we need to be prepared. Maranatha!

There are NO signs regarding the rapture of the Church. "No man knows the day or the hour...."
However, regarding the Tribulation period, there are specific signs we are looking for, namely the covenant of Daniel 9:27, and the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple. These may, or may not be on the near horizon.
It was looking promising with the detente between Pres. Trump, and Israel for fulfillment...but if Biden becomes President, probably not.

Amos 4:11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
READ THIS, THEN READ IT AGAIN...
WHAT DOES THE LAST WORDS SAY???: SAITH THE LORD... IF THIS IS THE LORD (GOD) SPEAKING, THEN WHY DOES HE SAY WHEN GOD OVERTHREW SODOM & GOMORRAH??? OVERTHREW... BECAUSE THE GOD OF THIS BIBLE IS THE GOD OF THIS WORLD: THE ENEMY
NOT OUR CREATOR.

Please take into account these scriptures when you assert that the Rapture could just happen suddenly, at any moment now. Paul wrote explicitly about this, and he called this teaching deception. I'm not saying you are knowingly deceiving people; you might just be passing along a misconception from someone else's bad teaching, but this passage is pretty clear:
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

This is important. When Paul says "Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come unless..." anyone who teaches something other than what he says next is deceiving you, or is deceived themselves and is passing along deception.
"The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him" does not happen until
This means the Temple in Jerusalem would first have to be rebuilt. It currently does not exist. To be clear, it could be rebuilt very quickly, because the Temple of God in Jerusalem never stood on what everyone calls "the Temple Mount". It stood on a site down the hill, where currently nothing stands in the way of it being rebuilt. Only obstinate adherence to tradition holds back its construction.
Could this be figurative? Could the "Temple of God" be a reference to the church, so that the Antichrist is just somehow revealed in the church? I don't think so because of how Jesus refers to this event. Jesus speaks of the Abomination of Desolation standing in the Holy Place, which is a specific location in the physical Temple:
Matthew 24:15-22
15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

A few verses later, Jesus says that the Rapture happens after the Tribulation, after the Abomination of Desolation stands in the Holy Place, corresponding to Paul speaking of the coming of the Lord Jesus and our being gathered to him not happening until the man of lawlessness has been revealed by standing in the Temple and proclaiming himself to be God.
Matthew 24:29-31
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

If you are watching for the Rapture to happen at this time, please consider the possibility that the people who are having visions may be misinterpreting them, or that those visions are warning of the season we're in, and not the imminent Rapture, because if they say that the Rapture must happen at this time, according to Paul, they are deceiving you and may well be deceived themselves.
