RAPTURE REPORT 2006: JESUS IS RETURNING

RAPTURE REPORT: FINAL EDITION
Scriptural Evidence for a mid-April 2006 Rapture:

"OUR CLUE" IS IN ROMANS 6:5! IT HAS BEEN LAYING THERE ALL THIS TIME, HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW, SINCE THE APOSTLE PAUL WROTE ROMANS! IT IS OUR CLUE...THERE ARE '17' BOOKS ....BETWEEN HOSEA AND ROMANS! You remember that 1+2+3+4 etc...to 17 = '153'....the WONDERFUL NUMBER THAT "RESURRECTS ITSELF"....according to Dr. James Harrison...the Christian mathematician that wrote "The Pattern and The Prophecy" !"at the end of 17...is RESURRECTION" ! ('153' AND FEAST OF FIRST FRUITS !!!)2006 (and 2009) are those wonderful years when Resurrection Day falls on Sabbath like it should! There will be no more of these type years UNTIL 2020 !

Current geopolitics and macroeconomics ends in Spring 2006; thank you Jim Bramlett and Pastor Hagee; not Spring 2009. SEE BELOW. By process of elimination, whatever remains is the truth. We even have confirmation from circumstances !

Read Revelation 3:3. It says we will know if we watch.
HERE IS ROMANS 6:5.. THE HOLY SPIRIT MEANS EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID !"FOR IF....WE HAVE BEEN "PLANTED" TOGETHER IN THE ..."LIKENESS" OF HIS DEATH.... WE SHALL ..ALSO...BE IN THE..."LIKENESS" OF HIS RESURRECTION" !!! THIS IS WAY MORE...THAN JUST A DOCTRINAL STATEMENT! THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TELLING US HERE THAT WE WILL BE RAISED IN THE "LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION"....I.E. "IN THE SAME WAY, ON THE SAME FEAST DAY, AT THE SAME TIME, IN THE SAME SEASON" !!!

SOMETIME IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS ON FIVE DOVES SOMEONE POSTED A BIBLE CODE MATRIX THAT SAYS THE SAME THING !

MARILYN AGEE HAS RESEARCHED THE SONG OF SOLOMON & HAS EVIDENCE THAT IT REFERS TO A SPRING RAPTURE.

WE ARE PART OF CHRIST'S BODY! LITERALLY...WE NEVER...COULD HAVE BEEN RESURRECTED ANY OTHER TIME, ANY OTHER SEASON, ANY OTHER DAY. HE COULD/WOULD NEVER BREAK UP HIS OWN BODY!!!!

HIS "CLUES" FOR US AND FOR ISRAEL WERE PLACED ON HIS APPOINTMENT CALENDAR...BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD WAS LAID" !


Jim Bramlett (25 Feb 2006) "Israel, Iran, WMDs, and the economy"
Dear friends:
The purpose of this message is to summarize and pass on to you some startling information that has come to my attention in the past few days, mostly from a confidential source. I am passing this on to strongly encourage prayer and preparedness for the rapture or whatever else what may soon come.
I. Israel and Iran. My confidential source has high-level inside information in the U.S. government and is an FBI consultant. He says that just before his massive stroke, Ariel Sharon made an urgent visit to President Bush. Sharon reportedly told Bush that Israel has the proof that Iran has both the nukes and the delivery system, and “one of us has to do something about it now!” It was strongly worded as an ultimatum. Of course, time has since transpired, Sharon is in a coma, and nothing has been done, but it is coming to a head quickly. An attack to neutralize Iran’s nukes by either the U.S. or Israel could literally happen any day. If the U.S. does it, perhaps the bunker-buster bombs carried by our fleet of heavy bombers could do the job. But if Israel does it, they will probably use nukes in order to penetrate Iran’s buried, hardened facilities, using their relatively small fighter airplanes. (Whether Israel or the U.S., our refueling aircraft stationed in the UAE's Dubai would keep the planes aloft.) This would inflame the world and bring a major conflagration, perhaps intervention from Syria, which could bring fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1 and the destruction of Damascus, where I have read Syria has positioned their missiles pointed toward Israel, wrongly assuming Israel will not nuke a population center. (Surprise! Israel has vowed never to experience another holocaust.) Such a conflagration could also draw in Russian and China. We may be looking at an imminent fulfillment of Ezekiel 38.

Pastor John Hagee of San Antonio. Confirming the urgency expressed above, Pastor Hagee’s Israeli sources say Iran must be stopped before the end of April 2006, or else it will be too late. We are less than three months away from what he believes is a point of no return. Hagee is deeply concerned, so much so that recently he called a meeting of hundreds of ministry leaders from around the nation to share with them the inside information that he knows. It was so disturbing that one leader strongly wept at what he saw coming. May God grant a similar spirit of travail and intercession in all of us.

II. WMDs. My confidential source has known for a long time that Saddam actually did have WMDs, and now it is coming out more in the news, although the leftist media are ignoring it. See http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/1/29/133526.shtml for one source. The 700 Club did an expose’ on this on February 21. My friend also referred me to the Web site of Dr. S. Houston. Houston is another intelligence insider, as well as a pastor. See http://www.thehoustonfiles.org. Houston says:
QUOTE. “When Soviet Romania was in its hay-day, the Soviet Union's KGB used its Romanian counterpart to school Hussein as to what to do with his WMD's if Iraq was ever invaded. When Pacepa, of Romanian intelligence, defected to the west he told us all about Saddam's schooling sessions. Prior to coalition troops entering Iraq, Russian Generals, together with Russian special forces were dispatched by Putin to go to Iraq to oversee the removal of WMD's to Syria. Syria stored them in Lebanon and that is why Syria dragged its heels when ordered to leave Lebanon. However, it was only the WMD's in the Sunni triangle that were able to be smuggled out to Syria. The Shia disposed of their WMD's in another direction and the Kurds held on to theirs in case of outright civil war, post Saddam. With all this state of flux regarding WMD's, Israeli intelligence were, I suspect, preparing their special forces to go and retrieve the Kurd's WMD's, forget Hazmat teams, in unidentifiable trucks with their soldiers dressed as Kurdish rurals. It is interesting to note, that one Israeli general was reported as asking a certain American in the King David hotel in Jerusalem, as to why President Bush didn't use his knowledge of WMD's found in Iraq as part of Bush's re-election revelation. I can say clearly and unequivocally, that there was no disinformation given out by Israeli intelligence over the WMD issue.” UNQUOTE.
If you listen to the 44-minute audio-video clip on Houston’s Web site, you will learn that facts uncovered implicate Russia and Germany in Saddam’s WMD program. He says that Bush knows all of this and has not gone public with it so as to stay on the good side of Russia and Germany. If true, then it is true that “Bush lied” about Saddam’s WMDs -- but in an opposite way from what the left has been charging.
My source tells me that the truth about Saddam’s WMDs will come out in a few days. It has already come out, but not in a big way, which is coming. He also says that dissident elements in the CIA are already working to discredit the disclosure by issuing disinformation.
My source also shared that in 2005, it is known that WMD dirty bomb material was sneaked across the border with Mexico. Apparently, sensors discovered it but could not trace it before it was too late, and the FBI frantically looked for it. He said an evangelist friend had a vision of its exact whereabouts in a certain city and told the FBI, who brushed him off, thought he was a nut, and didn’t want to hear about it. With insistence they finally listened to him, and he led them to the location seen in the vision. Detection equipment confirmed that debris there was from the dirty bomb, but the terrorists had gotten away. They still have not apprehended them and they are believed to now be in another city. If not found, this and maybe others could be detonated at any time.
III. March 20 to 26, 2006: the beginning of a major world crisis? Or, The End of the Western World we have known since 1945? You may have seen this message making the e-mail rounds the past few days. I am dubious about such crisis dates, but here it is in part: “The Laboratoire européen d’Anticipation Politique Europe 2020, LEAP/E2020, now estimates to over 80% the probability that the week of March 20-26, 2006 will be the beginning of the most significant political crisis the world has known since the Fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, together with an economic and financial crisis of a scope comparable with that of 1929. This last week of March 2006 will be the turning-point of a number of critical developments, resulting in an acceleration of all the factors leading to a major crisis, disregard any American or Israeli military intervention against Iran. In case such an intervention is conducted, the probability of a major crisis to start rises up to 100%, according to LEAP/E2020. An Alarm based on two verifiable events: The announcement of this crisis results from the analysis of decisions taken by the two key-actors of the main on-going international crisis, i.e. the United States and Iran. On the one hand there is the Iranian decision of opening the first oil bourse priced in Euros on March 20th, 2006 in Teheran, available to all oil producers of the region; on the other hand, there is the decision of the American Federal Reserve to stop publishing M3 figures (the most reliable indicator on the amount of dollars circulating in the world) from March 23, 2006 onward. These two decisions constitute altogether the indicators, the causes and the consequences of the historical transition in progress between the order created after World War II and the new international equilibrium in gestation since the collapse of the USSR. Their magnitude as much as their simultaneity will catalyze all the tensions, weaknesses and imbalances accumulated since more than a decade throughout the international system."

CONCLUSION. My confidential friend left his pastorate to travel the U,S. and warn the churches about what may be coming. He is burning with the godly zeal and passion of a prophet and is sadly dismayed at the apathy found in most churches. He believes we are at such a point where Christians should be in travail over the nation, Israel, and their own spiritual condition.
I am reminded of Joel 2:1: “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand”(KJV).
And “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves” (2 Corinthians 13:5, NIV).

Tom Gaston (13 Jan 2006) "Bible Code " First fruits " / page 1 of 1"
I believe that Miriam Howard is correct in her assessment concerning the "timing of the Rapture." This Bible Code "First fruits" is found in Isaiah chapter 28 where the covenant with death is mentioned. I believe that this is the time of our "Departure."

I have a number of Bible Codes that I have found in Isaiah chapter 28 which I will be sending besides this one. They are all found in Isaiah chapter 28. How appropriate that God should encoded the "Church's departure" right in the text with the "Covenant with death." You will notice the emphasis upon the " 18th day" in these codes. First fruits is on April 16th, 2006 this year which is Nisan 18. The Hebrew term "Advent" has a value of 18........Beth = 2 Yod = 10 Aleph = 1 Hay = 5 / total = 18


When I found these codes all in Isaiah 28 I was just overwhelmed, and a little bit amused by what God has done because it is such a "perfect place" to encode the Church's departure. It is going to be right at the time that this "Covenant with death" (Oslo) is enforced and implemented. We will see it approach and hear the words "peace and safety" by the Jewish people (1Thess. 5:3)!


There are 2 codes of "Bride Gentiles" in this matrix along with the amazing phrase "The Bride Day 18." You will see these codes all clumped together which are "Yeshua, 18th day, escort, return, month, Abib." The code "Day arrival" is also in the matrix. This is just one exciting Bible Code which I have found in Isaiah chapter 28. Wait until you see the others!


Many people are "hung up" with the misunderstanding that since Christ has fulfilled "First fruits", therefore the Church cannot be Raptured (the resurrection) at this time since Christ has already fulfilled this festival day. But the fact is this, that for the Church to be Raptured on First fruits has NOTHING to do with fulfilling the feast, since Christ has already fulfilled it, but instead it has EVERYTHING to do with fulfilling the "Likeness" of what Christ has already experienced and fulfilled. Listen to the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 5:5.

Rom. 5:5 " For if we have become "united" with Him in the "Likeness" of His death, certainly we shall be also in the "Likeness" of His resurrection" (First fruits).


I believe that this verse is NOT just talking about the death and resurrection of Christ alone in relationship to the believer. But I believe that it is also a very very "important clue" which is giving us the "timing" of the resurrection of the body of Christ which will take place on First fruits when Christ Himself Arose. I believe that there is NO BETTER PLACE for the this event of the resurrection / Rapture to take place. What a testimony to the "Israel" it would be concerning Yeshua whom they rejected and nailed to the cross by the hands of the Romans. It would speak volumes to the "Validity" of the New Testament accounts in the four gospels, and therefore would show an absolute total "Validity" of the whole Bible!


I believe that we are going to be in heaven this Spring on First fruits! (FOR THOSE OF YOU UNSURE OF THE DATE, THAT IS APRIL 16, EASTER SUNDAY 2006). WITH WORLD TIME ZONES AS THEY ARE IT COULD BE ANYTIME FROM SATURDAY TO MONDAY.


In Christ, Tom Gaston

EUROPEAN THINK TANK ARTICLE
BEST ARTICLE OF THE WEEK: Iran-USA, beginning of a major world crisis




Written by LEAP/E2020
Saturday, 25 February 2006
March 20 to 26, 2006: Iran-USA, beginning of a major world crisis, or «the End of the Western World we have known since 1945».The Laboratoire européen d’Anticipation Politique Europe 2020, LEAP/E2020, now estimates to over 80% the probability that the week of March 20-26, 2006 will be the beginning of the most significant political crisis the world has known since the Fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, together with an economic and financial crisis of a scope comparable with that of 1929. This last week of March 2006 will be the turning-point of a number of critical developments, resulting in an acceleration of all the factors leading to a major crisis, disregard any American or Israeli military intervention against Iran. In case such an intervention is conducted, the probability of a major crisis to start rises up to 100%, according to LEAP/E2020.
An Alarm based on 2 verifiable eventsThe announcement of this crisis results from the analysis of decisions taken by the two key-actors of the main on-going international crisis, i.e. the United States and Iran:

- on the one hand there is the Iranian decision of opening the first oil bourse priced in Euros on March 20th, 2006 in Teheran, available to all oil producers of the region ;
- on the other hand, there is the decision of the American Federal Reserve to stop publishing M3 figures (the most reliable indicator on the amount of dollars circulating in the world) from March 23, 2006 onward[1].
These two decisions constitute altogether the indicators, the causes and the consequences of the historical transition in progress between the order created after World War II and the new international equilibrium in gestation since the collapse of the USSR. Their magnitude as much as their simultaneity will catalyse all the tensions, weaknesses and imbalances accumulated since more than a decade throughout the international system.

A world crisis declined in 7 sector-based crisesLEAP/E2020's researchers and analysts thus identified 7 convergent crises that the American and Iranian decisions coming into effect during the last week of March 2006, will catalyse and turn into a total crisis, affecting the whole planet in the political, economic and financial fields, as well as in the military field most probably too:
1. Crisis of confidence in the Dollar2. Crisis of US financial imbalances3. Oil crisis4. Crisis of the American leadership5. Crisis of the Arab-Muslim world6. Global governance crisis7. European governance crisis
The entire process of anticipation of this crisis is described in detail in coming issues of LEAP/E2020’s confidential letter – the GlobalEurope Anticipation Bulletin, and in particular in the 2nd issue to be released on February 16, 2006. These coming issues will present the detailed analysis of each of the 7 crises, together with a large set of recommendations intended for various categories of players (governments and companies, namely), as well as with a number of operational and strategic advices for the European Union.

Decoding of the event “Creation of the Iranian Oil Bourse priced in Euros”However, and in order not to limit this information to decision makers solely, LEAP/E2020 has decided to circulate widely this official statement together with the following series of arguments resulting from work conducted.Iran's opening of an Oil Bourse priced in Euros at the end of March 2006 will be the end of the monopoly of the Dollar on the global oil market. The immediate result is likely to upset the international currency market as producing countries will be able to charge their production in Euros also. In parallel, European countries in particular will be able to buy oil directly in their own currency without going though the Dollar. Concretely speaking, in both cases this means that a lesser number of economic actors will need a lesser number of Dollars [2]. This double development will thus head to the same direction, i.e. a very significant reduction of the importance of the Dollar as the international reserve currency, and therefore a significant and sustainable weakening of the American currency, in particular compared to the Euro. The most conservative evaluations give €1 to $1,30 US Dollar by the end of 2006. But if the crisis reaches the scope anticipated by LEAP/E2020, estimates of €1 for $1,70 in 2007 are no longer unrealistic.

Decoding of the event “End of publication of the M3 macro-economic indicator”The end of the publication by the American Federal Reserve of the M3 monetary aggregate (and that of other components)[3], a decision vehemently criticized by the community of economists and financial analysts, will have as a consequence to lose transparency on the evolution of the amount of Dollars in circulation worldwide. For some months already, M3 has significantly increased (indicating that « money printing » has already speeded up in Washington), knowing that the new President of the US Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, is a self-acknowledged fan of « money printing »[4]. Considering that a strong fall of the Dollar would probably result in a massive sale of the US Treasury Bonds held in Asia, in Europe and in the oil-producing countries, LEAP/E2020 estimates that the American decision to stop publishing M3 aims at hiding as long as possible two US decisions, partly imposed by the political and economic choices made these last years[5]:. the ‘monetarisation’ of the US debt. the launch of a monetary policy to support US economic activity.… two policies to be implemented until at least the October 2006 « mid-term » elections, in order to prevent the Republican Party from being sent in reeling.This M3-related decision also illustrates the incapacity of the US and international monetary and financial authorities put in a situation where they will in the end prefer to remove the indicator rather than try to act on the reality.

Decoding of the aggravating factor “The military intervention against Iran”Iran holds some significant geo-strategic assets in the current crisis, such as its ability to intervene easily and with a major impact on the oil provisioning of Asia and Europe (by blocking the Strait of Ormuz), on the conflicts in progress in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention the possible recourse to international terrorism. But besides these aspects, the growing distrust towards Washington creates a particularly problematic situation. Far from calming both Asian and European fears concerning the accession of Iran to the statute of nuclear power, a military intervention against Iran would result in an quasi-immediate dissociation of the European public opinions[6] which, in a context where Washington has lost its credibility in handling properly this type of case since the invasion of Iraq, will prevent the European governments from making any thing else than follow their public opinions. In parallel, the rising cost of oil which would follow such an intervention will lead Asian countries, China first and foremost, to oppose this option, thus forcing the United States (or Israel) to intervene on their own, without UN guarantee, therefore adding a severe military and diplomatic crisis to the economic and financial crisis.

Relevant factors of the American economic crisisLEAP/E2020 anticipate that these two non-official decisions will involve the United States and the world in a monetary, financial, and soon economic crisis without precedent on a planetary scale. The ‘monetarisation’ of the US debt is indeed a very technical term describing a catastrophically simple reality: the United States undertake not to refund their debt, or more exactly to refund it in "monkey currency". LEAP/E2020 also anticipate that the process will accelerate at the end of March, in coincidence with the launching of the Iranian Oil Bourse, which can only precipitate the sales of US Treasury Bonds by their non-American holders.
In this perspective, it is useful to contemplate the following information[7]: the share of the debt of the US government owned by US banks fell down to 1,7% in 2004, as opposed to 18% in 1982. In parallel, the share of this same debt owned by foreign operators went from 17% in 1982 up to 49% in 2004. → Question: How comes that US banks got rid of almost all their share of the US national debt over the last years?
Moreover, in order to try to avoid the explosion of the "real-estate bubble" on which rests the US household consumption, and at a time when the US saving rate has become negative for the first time since 1932 and 1933 (in the middle of the "Great Depression"), the Bush administration, in partnership with the new owner of the US Federal Reserve and a follower of this monetary approach, will flood the US market of liquidities.

Some anticipated effects of this systemic ruptureAccording to LEAP/E2020, the non-accidental conjunction of the Iranian and American decisions, is a decisive stage in the release of a systemic crisis marking the end of the international order set up after World War II, and will be characterised between the end of March and the end of the year 2006 by a plunge in the dollar (possibly down to 1 Euro = 1,70 US Dollars in 2007) putting an immense upward pressure on the Euro, a significant rise of the oil price (over 100$ per barrel), an aggravation of the American and British military situations in the Middle East, a US budgetary, financial and economic crisis comparable in scope with the 1929 crisis, very serious economic and financial consequences for Asia in particular (namely China) but also for the United Kingdom[8], a sudden stop in the economic process of globalisation, a collapse of the transatlantic axis leading to a general increase of all the domestic and external political dangers all over the world.
For individual dollar-holders, as for trans-national corporations or political and administrative decision makers, the consequences of this last week of March 2006 will be crucial. These consequences require some difficult decisions to be made as soon as possible (crisis anticipation is always a complex process since it relies on a bet) because once the crisis begins, the stampede starts and all those who chose to wait lose.For private individuals, the choice is clear: the US Dollar no longer is a “refuge” currency. The rising-cost of gold over the last year shows that many people have already anticipated this trend of the US currency.

Anticipating… or being swept away by the winds of historyFor companies and governments, it is crucial to integrate now action plans in today's decision-making processes, which can contribute to soften significantly the "monetary, financial and economic tsunami" which will break on the planet at the end of next month. To use a simple image – by the way, one used in the political anticipation scenario « USA 2010 »[9] -, the impact of the events of the last week of March 2006 on the “Western World” we have known since 1945 will be comparable to the impact of the Fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 on the “Soviet Block”.
If this Alarm is so precise, it is that LEAP/E2020’s analyses concluded that all possible scenarios now lead to one single result: we collectively approach a "historical node" which is henceforth inevitable whatever the action of international or national actors. At this stage, only a direct and immediate action on the part of the US administration aimed at preventing a military confrontation with Iran on the one hand, and at giving up the idea to monetarise the US foreign debt on the other hand, could change the course of events. For LEAP/E2020 it is obvious that not only such actions will not be initiated by the current leaders in Washington, but that on the contrary they have already chosen "to force the destiny" by shirking their economic and financial problems at the expense of the rest of the world. European governments in particular should draw very quickly all the conclusions from this fact.

For information, LEAP/E2020's original method of political anticipation has allowed several of its experts to anticipate (and publish) in particular : in 1988, the approaching end of the Iron Curtain; in 1997, the progressive collapse in capacity of action and democratic legitimacy of the European institutional system; in 2002, the US being stuck in Iraq’s quagmire and above all the sustainable collapse of US international credibility; in 2003, the failure of the referenda on the European Constitution. Its methodology of anticipation of "systemic ruptures" now being well established, it is our duty as researchers and citizens to share it with the citizens and the European decision makers; especially because for individual or collective, private or public players, it is still time to undertake measures in order to reduce significantly the impact of this crisis on their positions whether these are economic, political or financial.
