Get Ready For End Times

There are two raptures. First in Rev. 12:5 and second during Rev. 19 as Jesus returns. To prepare for the first one I suggest lots of serious prayer to cast Satan out of everything, you, church, government, business, and all creation. That is because Rev. 12:5 says they are about to wield a rod of iron, given in Rev. 2:26-27 and later in Rev. 12 the angels (which we will be in heaven) war with Satan and cast him to earth so he falls like lightning as Jesus foresaw. As you can see the first rapture is not for pew potatoes, but super aggressive overcomers who pray more seriously than Moses did to cause the earth to swallow his enemies because if the apostles and prophets were praying strong enough, Satan would have been cast out of heaven already.

Part of my understanding on this aspect of the first rapture comes from asking God for an experience of the Rod of Iron in Rev. 2:26-27 a few years ago. Jesus did not answer instantly but led me to write a book to try to make the US Congress do the right thing. Then I tried to sell it since I am poor and did not want to give many copies for free. I started phoning the members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus (CPC) but I got no Congressmen, only staff and none expressed interest. So I got mad and prayed to shake up Washington DC. Jesus answered that prayer with a very precise earthquake which was centered just outside of Randy Forbes district, the founder of the CPC, showing he was not the problem but it was near him. The earthquake killed no one and did only a little damage but was felt all the way from Florida to Canada in 2011. I laughed seeing the Secret Service guards who stand on top of the White House stumbling around during the earthquake on TV.

I learned the key to the rod of iron was to engage my whole being in the prayer. I wanted to fix Washington DC, yearning earnestly for it as I tried to contact them but when they refused, then I prayed to shake them up. It did no good that I know of except to teach me what the rod of iron is. I prayed other prayers that had serious effects but then I stopped because I was afraid I might be doing something not approved by Jesus. Now I finally understand what the rod of iron is for, to turn nations to Jesus and smash Satan so hard it is like an earthquake, with the power of nature to cast him out of heaven like lightning. It will take many believers to pray this way to get practice wielding the rod of iron individually so we will be ready to do it together as the man-child.

In my view getting Jesus and the rod of iron is the most important work we can do to prepare for the Rev. 12:5 rapture. It is urgent for if we fail we will have to suffer the Great Tribulation starting in Rev. 16:18-19 which will humble Rev. 17:5 pastors and their followers so they can turn their hearts to be loyal to Jesus first instead of pastors and obey Rev. 18:4 to prepare for the second rapture as Jesus returns.
