Michael Shigaba's End Time Message for Mankind

A Christian brother I know in Nigeria, named Dr. Theophilus Ayodele, recently sent me a video testimony of a brother that belongs to his church, named brother Michael Shigaba.  Both brother Michael and Dr. Ayodele, who is a civilian medical doctor serving in the military hospital in Jos, Nigeria, belong to the same Apostolic Faith Church in Nigeria, although they attend different branch churches.

Brother Michael Shigaba
Brother Michael had an encounter with Jesus on Wednesday March 10, 2010. The Lord showed him the narrow road that leads to heaven, as well as the true, spiritual condition of his church's district headquarters, and the branch church he belongs to.  He was also given an end-time message for mankind about the imminent return of Christ. In front of the pearly gates of heaven, when the Lord told him he must return to the earth, as they turned and began to walk away, the Lord gave the angel who was with him the end-time message that brother Michael was to proclaim.

In his testimony, which I have published in my article, Michael Shigaba's Encounter with Jesus, he stated:

As we were coming [back to earth], Jesus now called the angel again. He said, "When you’re coming back, cover him with this end time message.” That is what I heard. I don’t know what He gave the angel. Immediately the angel collected it.  How we found ourself in my bedroom, I cannot tell. Myself and the angel again, back to my bedroom. I was surprised. Do you know what happened? The angel said, “Look, look at the bed.” I looked at the bed. I saw myself again, lying down. And myself standing with the angel! He said, “That is your body. That is your house. You know, you have a house. You are free to go out and you are free to come out. You went out. Now enter.”
I was afraid. I said, “No.”

He smiled. He said, “Enter! That is your body.”

I looked at myself.

“It’s okay. You don’t know what you’re going to do. Just lie down, very close.”

I went and I laid down very close to the body, and I became one. Then I started feeling the heat, the hotness of this world of sin. Then I know that yes, it’s just like you are in the AC. And after some time you went out, feel the hotness.

That was 5:00AM, Friday, from Wednesday. The angel now asked, “Where is your CGS?”

I said, “That is the place I kept.”

He said, “Do you know this is the time you use to pray for morning prayer?” And yes, when I was alone, I used to have my morning prayer, 5:30AM. But when I married, my wife said, “No, let’s start at 5:00AM.” And that is exactly the time I came back to this world of woe.

We opened. The angel opened. He said, “Let’s sing hymn number twenty.” We sang together with the angel. He now said, “Lie down.” I laid down, and he said, “The Master said I should cover you with this end-time message. So I’m going to cover you.”

He now brought white cloth and covered me. I was covered with that white cloth. Then after that, the angel left. I don’t know how the angel disappeared from that place. I don’t know. He left.

Overseer: Before you were covered, were you inside your body?

Michael: Yes, I was already inside. I’ve already entered inside my body. Before the angel now asked me, he said, “Where is the CGS?” He left. Then, after the angel left, I saw myself covered with white cloth. I was afraid! I have to shift that cloth beside my bed. It was then that I was able to use my handset and call one of our brothers to come and pray for me. In that text, I told him that I was inside my house since Wednesday. Let him come and pray for me.

When the brother came, it was around 6:00. The brother came. He said, “Ah! Bro Mike, what is the problem?” that since Tuesday has been trying my line till Wednesday. And some time if he tried, it rang. Before they would say, it switch off. And then, when they were there, the angel and Jesus, anytime my phone rang, the angel would just off the handset. He said, “This is no time for you to receive a call,” before we left.

Overseer: Now, when you came back, you were dressed in your natural clothing? What happened to the dress you are wearing?

Michael: When I came back, in fact, the only thing is the cloth that the angel used to cover me and my knickers. The dress that I put on, for the journey, is…that brother that I called, he is the one that picked that dress from the floor with my shoes.

Overseer: …what you were wearing before.

Michael: Yes! But when I came back, I just found myself covered with the cloth and my short knickers.

Then when the brother came, he said, “Ah! What is (inaudible) [around 46:13]?”

I said, “Yes, heaven visited me…the sickness is for our own good, it’s for our help, it’s for the glory of God.”

Overseer: What happened to your knee? Do you know when you started with that? You were sick, you had a bad headache, and you knocked your head. So when you came back, no more pain like that.

Michael: Yes, no more pain. And when the angel was going, he said, “Do you know that Jesus has healed you?" before he left. But the leg is because of that while we were walking on that route, my leg became heavy, but the head, the pain disappeared. But these two legs I was not able to walk with it then. It was when the brother came and prayed over me that I was able to walk again. Then I now told the brother that I look at that cloth.

He said, “Ah! White cloth? How could?”

I said, “The angel covered—‘

He said, ‘Eh? He said a long journey; two days: a long journey.”

I said, “Yes.”

He said, “This cloth that you were—“ he was able to touch the cloth. He folded it with fear! And kept it somewhere. He prayed over me and then he was preparing to go to work. So he said when he comes back from work, he will hear better. Then he has called my single brother from the town to come down.

When the brother left, it was around 12:00PM that my brother came. When he entered, he said, “Ah! What is the problem? (inaudible [around 47:59]. …and before this now, we have been trying your line. It was no going.” He said it was (inaudible) that told him I am sick.

I said, “Yes, but Jesus has healed me already.” My mind still went to that cloth. I now told him that, “Check that cloth.”

He said, "Which cloth?” He looked at the wardrobe. He said, “Ah!” He was afraid. He said, “This cloth is not ordinary. Where did you get it?”

I said, “Yes, I traveled with Jesus.”

For him to touch that cloth, he was afraid. I said, “Just try to open it.” It was when he opened it that I noticed there is something—there is a writing there. Even myself, I didn’t know that there is a writing there.

He said, “This is blood?’ The brother started weeping. He said, “This is blood. How?”

I said, “No. Jesus said that is the end time message. Can you read it?” He read it. He said, “’Jesus is coming soon.’” He started weeping. He started weeping.  He said, “How do you –-We can—How do you?— You can touch it?” And when we were coming back, Jesus said, “When you go back, tell the head of the church!" That is what Jesus said. "Tell the head of the church.” That is what He said before we came back with the angel.

I now folded it inside black nylon and I tie it. On Sunday, I went to the church. I met the pastor. I speak everything. He said, "Ahh!" The man was afraid. He was weeping! He said, “Ok, what is there on Monday, by the grace of God? I am going to pray for you so that the Spirit of God will remind you so that you will not forget. You will go and meet the overseer. I am not the head. Go and meet with the overseer. And I am going to try to call him that you are coming.”

On that Monday, I go the overseer’s office. He was not on site. And on Wednesday, as I was going back, the devil said, “Ah! There is no need for you to go and meet your overseer. In fact, you will not even meet him. That you have already told the pastor, ‘What is the need of you to go and tell your overseer?’” I said, “Ah! This is the voice of the devil. Is it not the pastor that said I should go and tell the overseer? I entered the vehicle. There is a place called the [inaudible around 50:49]. After we passed that place, the front tire of that vehicle busted. I said, “Whether you like it or not (the devil), I am going to deliver that message.”

Overseer: Was there any other message that you were supposed to give to the head of the church?

Michael: [Shaking his head, “No."] That was just [my testimony of the experience].

Michael: So before I went to the overseer’s place, that Sunday that I met the pastor, when I came back with that cloth, that I was going to the overseer’s next day, which is Monday, the cloth came out from that nylon. I tied the nylon, but it came out on its own. In fact, it was that time that I was afraid to handle the cloth. It was then that I went and bought a new brown envelope. I kept it.

Overseer: You put it in a black nylon before, and it came out on its own? Now you have a brown envelope where you keep it and nothing. How did you get the brown envelope?

Michael: Yes, sir… (inaudible)…I bought it.

Overseer: And you put the cloth inside the brown envelope.

Michael: Yes. And it is then that the cloth has been there.

[At this point in the video, the cloth is held up by two people who are standing behind it to display it.]  

Watch Michael's Video Testimony.

The White Cloth with Its End Time Message
White cloth from heaven with end time message in blood
This is a photo of the cloth that the angel covered Michael with after he returned to his body. It is quite large, as two people appear to be standing behind it, holding it up for the photo. And you can clearly see written upon it the words, "JESUS IS COMING SOON."

Since the cloth and the message written on it came from the Lord, and the message is about the Lord Himself, the message must be written in none other than His own precious blood. Dr. Ayodelle advised me that the church obtained forensic lab testing on the blood that is on the cloth and the results determined that it is not normal blood.

In brother Michael's testimony, he said that when he returned to his body and showed the cloth to people, they were afraid to touch it.  They noted that it was no ordinary cloth and wondered where he got it.  They wept when they saw it and read the writing upon it.  This was true of the two brothers who came to Michael's home, as well as his pastor. 

The white cloth with the end time message
I looked at the photo of the cloth very carefully, zooming in to the highest level of magnification in my photo software, so that I could see individual pixels.  When I did so, I made the following observations:

1. The blood turned the cloth whiter along the edge of the written letters.  It is not visible to the naked eye unless you zoom in to a high magnification level with the photo software.

2. The words were written at the bottom right corner as if they were the final words on a page. The implication is that there is nothing else left to happen before the Lord's return.

3. The letters of the very last word ("Soon") were on the very bottom edge of the cloth, even to the point of being written on the final row of thread.  Again, it emphasized the finality of the time we are in right now, the lateness of the hour, and the nearness of His return.

The word "soon" showing whitening
4. The final stroke of the letter "N" in the last word ("soon") seemed to extend off the cloth!

Conclusion
I am personally convinced that this testimony is true, because it agrees with Scripture, there are witnesses, and we have the cloth to prove it, along with its urgent, end-time message written in human blood that is not normal.

Jesus is coming soon, and the church is late getting herself ready.  There is no time left to put off getting ready.  That is the most critical message from this entire testimony.

Repent and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ.  Prepare to meet your God!

Credits: All the praise and glory goes to Jesus for giving brother Michael Shigaba this encounter and its message.  And I would like to thank my oldest daughter for the many days and hours she spent lovingly and painstakingly transcribing this entire testimony into writing, so that people all over the world can read it, who may not be able to understand brother Michael's English so clearly.  This written version also provides a means for others to translate it into other languages, so that the maximum number of people may be impacted by it.  I would like to thank my dear brother, Dr. Theophilus Ayodele, for informing me about this testimony and for mailing me a DVD copy of it all the way from Africa.

Author's note:  Please prayerfully listen to this brother's testimony, and use the Testimony Review Process adopted by this blog, as you decide for yourself whether the Lord has spoken to him.  For issues and concerns, each person must confirm with the Lord, whether something is valid or not.

You must take responsibility for your own actions. Nobody knows the day or the hour, and in no way am I date setting. This is only to provide you with information, so that you can make your own decisions, for which you will be accountable to God.

I recommend reading the full version of Michael Shigaba's Encounter with Jesus.  I also encourage you to read The 311 Moment, The Day of Our Lord’s Wedding is at Hand,  Rapture Revelation to Ayodelle Sawyerr, and Rapture Revelation to Angelica Zambrano.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Word of Warning for America

On June 30, 2014, I received an email with the following prophecy given through Maurice Sklar on June 28, 2014.  In it the Lord speaks about the coming collapse of the dollar, the fall of America, the coming war in the Middle East, God's judgment upon Islam, and the rapture. To the Bride He says, "The heavenly shofar is in the hands of My Archangel Gabriel and about to be lifted to his mouth for the final BLAST that will call you home!"  To those backslidden and sinners, He also says, "Come out from Babylon, oh ye backsliders and sinners.  Leave the Laodicean false church and come out to Me in the wilderness and join My Bride." To America He says, "Prepare to meet Thy God in the wrath of My Holy fury and judgment!"  Here is the full prophetic message for your discernment:

Thus saith the LORD,

"Warn America of the coming collapse of the dollar.  When this happens, all that you have taken for granted in life will suddenly come to an end.  You have never known such devastation.  It will come suddenly and spring upon you, O haughty nation, in a moment.  What will you do when there is no more water, food, electricity, or fuel?!! Then you will cry to Me, and I will not hear you, until you humble yourselves in holy repentance.  There will be riots, looting, martial law, rape, chaos, torture, and murder, as well as imprisonment and disease, as all evil will descend upon you suddenly.  All because you refused to repent and turn back to me.

For more than 100 years I have come to you over and over, pleading with you by My Spirit and through My servants and prophets to repent of your sin and return to Me But now, your house is left unto you desolate, for you have passed the point of no return.  Oh, United States of America, PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD!

"Warn the world of the coming war in the Middle East!  For I am about to judge and destroy the anciant enemies of My people Israel.  I am the Holy One of Israel.  Now, Aha!  I will arise and judge the house of Esau and Edom.  I will not tolerate their hatred and savagery any longer.  As it is written, in Psalm 83, and many of My prophets have proclaimed in My Holy written Word, the set time has arrived.  It shall be held back no longer. I will destroy Islam and smash its pillars and all of its dominion.  It will stagger as a drunken man, as it drinks My cup of fury down to the dregs.  It will fall down and vomit up it's filth up before all of creation, then it shall fall into the pits of Hell and rise up no more.  You shall experience the fires of My wrath and the fullness of My cup of indignation.  You shall be forever humiliated before all of heaven, the earth, the nations, and all the demons of hell.  Ah! I will vent My everlasting vengeance upon you, and settle the accounts for all your sins and crimes in every generation against My people Israel and My holy land.  I am about to execute the vengeance of the eternal covenant I made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  As you have cursed My people, it shall be done to YOU!  Exactly as you cursed and spoke again Zion and Israel, that shall be visited back upon your heads!  After this comes to pass, you, Israel, all the nations, and indeed, all the earth shall know that I AM THE LORD, YHWH, the Most High God of Israel!

'How I weep for you, O America! How has the mighty nation of My grace fallen!  You will collapse and never regain your greatness ever again.  Yes, revival shall come after this, even a final awakening, and indeed, because of the covenant I made with the very first Americans, and the faithfulness of the saints that lived in previous generations - I will keep you from perishing completely from the earth.  A remnant will continue into the Millenium.  I will spare many, in My depth of mercies, but your prosperity, idolatry, ease, and pomp will descend with the lost into the depths of Hell.

You shall no longer be called the Greatest Nation.  The stench of your sins, and the blood of the innocents is crying out and is continually before My face.  I will bear your whoredoms no longer!  Your hours and days are numbered.  You have been weighed in the balances of the Watchers, and, even as the writing came on the wall by My Hand in the palace of Babylon, and interpreted by My prophet and servant, Daniel, you have been weighed in the balances and scales of the High Court of Heaven and are found wanting.  Prepare to meet Thy God in the wrath of My Holy fury and judgment!"

"Who shall rescue you now? Will your idols of pleasure, pride, perversion, power, and money?  They are your gods now.  Let them deliver you!  Who shall help you, O fallen queen of the last days' nations? I will not hear your cries until you repent before Me in wailing, sackcloth and ashes.  When your entire government falls on their faces in shame and cries out to Me with all their hearts, then, and only then, will I respond.  Woe, Woe, WOE to thee, O Most wretched of men!  How can you escape the damnation of Hell?"

"A message to the Bride, My Holy Overcomers:

"I have seen your tears, I have heard your groans. I have been suffering with you.  Satan has come against you with all of his malice and fury for the last ten years, as I have mercifully extended the times, so that the nations could have every possible opportunity to return back to Me during the final days of grace."

"Oh, America! How I have longed to spare you! But, you have hardened your hearts, stiffened your necks, spit in My face, shook your fists at Me, turned your backs to me, and ignored and despised my prophets that I have sent to you - begging and pleading with you to return to Me - that you may live and not die!  Your doom is meted out and sealed.  You shall surely drink from the cup of My wrath and reap what you have sown.  You have sown the wind and you shall reap the whirlwind."

"But, My Beloved Bride!  You are faithful to Me!  Still you watch and pray in this Midnight Hour.  Still you hold fast to My Name, My blood, and My Holy written Word!  All of heaven both weeps and rejoices with you as they watch you and your purity and steadfastedness.  I have kept you.  I have refined you as the finest gold in the furnace of affliction, and because you have suffered with Me, you shall sit on My throne and reign with Me forever and ever. Amen."

"I am shortening the days so that you, My Elect ones, will not perish in the final deception that is coming upon the earth."

"I AM COMING FOR YOU!  I am at the door waiting for the Word from the Father, saying, COME!  The heavenly shofar is in the hands of My Archangel Gabriel and about to be lifted to his mouth for the final BLAST that will call you home!  Rejoice, My Beloved!  Look up, for your Redemption draweth nigh! I have prepared a place for you!  Soon I will meet you in the air and take you home!  My love burns for you, My Beloved!  All of heaven is rejoicing to receive you.  All is now prepared.  Hold fast that which you have, that no man take your crown!  Be ye holy as I am Holy!  Keep your hearts pure and keep your garments clean, that ye may be found worthy to escape these calamities that are soon to flood the earth, and to stand in triumph before Me!  I am the Son of Man.  I am the Son of God.  I am the Son of David.  And, I am the soon coming King of Glory!  I Am the Heavenly Bridegroom awaiting our Wedding and to feast together in joy and union with you."

"You are My predestined ones.  You are My elect.  You are My chosen ones.  I have called and chosen you from before the foundations of the earth.  You are the Crown of all My Desire!"

"AWAKE! AWAKE! AWAKE! HEAVENLY BRIDE!"

"Come out from Babylon, oh ye backsliders and sinners.  Leave the Laodicean false church and come out to Me in the wilderness and join My Bride.  Come outside the camp and bear the reproach of carrying the Anointing!  For My Bride has been cast out of the lukewarm, reprobate churches that refuse to let Me in."

"I am standing at the doors knocking still, but not for much longer!  I have come to you with this word now, pleading with you to repent and fully surrender to Me.  Forsake all others and FOLLOW ME!  Forsake the love of this world which will soon pass away.  Purify your hearts.  Be washed in My Blood and cleansed of every spot and wrinkle.  Be daily washed in the water of My Word, the Bible.  Pray and cry out to the Father to have mercy upon you and to spare you. Forsake your idols while there is still a sliver of time left, and run with all your might toward Me!  Come in to the Ark of Safety while there is still time!"

"The checkered flag is now being waved!  The final lap is HERE! The race is almost over, My dearly Beloved.  Win your race for Me and receive your eternal Prize!  Heaven is ready to receive you.  Soon You shall be Home with Me forever."

"No more crying! No more sorrows! No more pain!  No more death!"

"I am Yeshua the Messiah! I AM your All in All!"

"O Earth, Earth, Earth, Hear ye the Word of the LORD!"

As received and given by the Holy Spirit to Dr. Maurice Sklar on Saturday evening, June 28, 2014 at 10:27pm PST.

Blessings,

Maurice

Rapture Ranks Right Below Top Ten Teaching of Jesus

In my recent article on The Top Ten Things Jesus Taught, I showed statistical evidence from Scripture what our Lord talked about the most.  I want to encourage you to take a look at that, and compare it to the preaching you listen to, or to your own preaching if you do so.  Very few these days are emphasizing the things Jesus did.

But one of the things I mentioned was that right below these top ten topics, His Second Coming was a major topic, which ranked twelfth on the list! He spoke about it quite often, using various expressions like "the coming of the Son of man," "the Son of Man coming," "which day your Lord is coming," "that day and hour no one knows," "the Master of that slave will come on a day," "the Master of the house is coming," "He comes," "kingdom come," "coming on the clouds," "the day that the Son of Man is revealed," "the days of the Son of Man," "when the Son of Man comes," "will the Son of Man be in His day," "I will come," "I am coming," "until I come," "come on you suddenly," and specifically referred to the rapture saying, "one will be taken."  And when He spoke about it, He often said it would happen suddenly, unexpectedly, quickly, soon, and without delay.  He emphasized the need to be ready for it.  Yet so few today ever preach or teach about His soon return.  In fact, some preachers are teaching that their will be no rapture at all.

It makes you wonder whether these people read the Bible, or whether they are hearing the Word when they read it. By the way, "hearing" was the eleventh top thing Jesus spoke about! 

If you were to combine all the verses where Jesus spoke about His Second Coming with all the verses where He spoke about the end times, it would become one of the top ten topics.  He spoke about the end times in sixteen verses, using expressions like "end of the age," "tribulation," "great distress," "that hour which is about to come upon the whole world," "all these things that are about to take place," "days of vengeance," and "the times of the Gentiles."

In that article, I also stated: "Also in Revelation, only the words that Jesus spoke were counted in my exhaustive analysis.  These are primarily in the first three chapters and the last chapter.  However, technically the entire book of Revelation is “the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon take place.” (Rev 1:1a).  You see, the opening verse of that book says, "He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John" (Rev 1:1b).  So although the Lord sent His angel to communicate these words, they were His words, and it was all His revelation that God gave to Him.  That means all topics covered in Revelation were from Jesus, although they were not all spoken directly by Him.  There are many verses about...end times, the Great Tribulation, plagues, judgments, wrath, woes, the Lord Jesus Christ and His soon return, the harvest...and eternal judgment.  These would increase the total number of verses we would need to count for those topics in this analysis, and would help to further prove my point about their frequency.  However, none of these verses that are part of the revelation of Jesus Christ were counted, unless they were spoken by Jesus."

The Lord's return should be emphasized by every preacher and teacher of the Word.  Every disciple of Christ should emphasize it in their own life, in terms of being ready for it, and by way of warning others to be ready.  That includes your spouse and children, your parents, brothers, sisters, and other family members who will listen to you.  Tell your coworkers and those you meet.  He is coming very, very soon!

The Error of Rapture Date Setting

"The Lord is coming right away."  That is the message, and we must sound the alarm for people to prepare.  But many go beyond that and overreach by date-setting.  As I have stated previously The Timing of the Rapture, Jesus really meant that no man knows the day or hour, and we must not veer to the left or right of that, or else we will get into error.

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mt 24:36)

We can know the season, according to Mt 24:32-33, and I believe we are in the season right now.  That is enough for us to know. When we set dates and they do not happen, it only creates confusion, and does not glorify God.  It also gives the pagans an opportunity to mock.    

Superstitious Infatuation with the Date
I would like to quote from brother Yong Doo Kim, whom I love and respect, and have written about in my blog, Baptized by Blazing Fire.  He stated in his book:

"Many people are endlessly crying out that we are in the end time. Therefore, in order to discern this evil generation, people are gathering around gifted people. The people are wondering when the Lord will return. But most clear and certain is the fact that the gifted people do not know the answer to that question. It is only up to God. With the Lord’s statement in Matthew Chapter 24, we can indirectly discern the end time apocalyptic phenomenal events."

"As a matter of fact, when I visited heaven, I asked Apostle Paul a question. Paul humbly directed me to deeply read through the four gospels which have the statements of the Lord rather than the epistles of Paul. He pointed out and said that the four gospels are more beneficial. The end time apocalyptic phenomenal events in Matthew Chapter 24 would be the place to go for the answer."

"In some instances, there are people prowling around to determine the final day. But this infatuation to find the determined final day is clearly superstition. The best route for Christians is to be ready at all times. We must prepare ourselves spiritually on a daily basis."

"The Lord made some statements to me. He said that when the pastors do not prepare the congregations for rapture beforehand, the result will be that they will all be left behind. The believers who are left behind will vent out their anger on their pastors. They will be angered for not being raptured. The believers will take their revenge on pastors who had taught them in error during their lives. The pastors will die brutally by hands of their church members who were left behind. This event will occur throughout the world in all places and churches. As a pastor, I am truly in fear."

The Lord Jesus told brother Kim that His coming is "very near."  He recorded this in Baptize by Blazing Fire (Book 5).  Immediately afterward, brother Kim asked the Lord a related question.  I will quote directly from the book:

Brother Yong-Doo Kim
"Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, thank you for your grace. Someone has stated that You will come when his/her grandchild is a teenager, specifically mid teens. Is he/she deluded?"

"Jesus: My beloved servant, if I disclose the date of my coming to some of my servants, then chaos will come upon the world. As I have stated in the Bible, I will come like a thief and no one will know. However, for those who are spiritually awaken, they will know that my coming is soon. They will not know the exact date but will know the season. They will suddenly realize the urgency of the coming. In that season, it will only be a matter of time."

"It will not be years and days of prophesying that the gates of heaven are opening or if the arch angels are blowing the trumpets, when I come for My bride, it will happen abruptly. For those spiritually awakened, when you are in a moment of prayer, suddenly, you will know and feel it spiritually through the spiritual realm that I am coming. All who are waiting and awakened will feel it together."

"I do not state the date to any single person, otherwise, the world may become chaotic and disorder may follow. Therefore, a date will not be given. Only the Father knows the date. My beloved servants, if you only love Me and you are abiding in Me, you will never be bewildered for not knowing the date."

Putting it All Together
As far as I am aware, the Lord has been indicating to His sons and daughters for at least four years that He is "coming right away."  I recall when He gave Angelica Zambrano this message in 2009, saying, "I am no longer at the door; I am beyond the door.  I will come soon; My coming is near."  He also told her, "...Do not tell My people that I am coming soon.  Tell My people that I am coming right away." Later the Lord repeated again, "Tell My people that I am coming right away and that I am coming for a holy people.  Tell My people that only the holy ones, only the holy ones will see Me! 

It is still true today, and we must be ready when it suddenly happens.  But don't assume you are ready, because very few will actually make it to heaven in the rapture.  As Jesus said, "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."  (Mt 7:14).

The Lord said to sister Angelica, "My people have left Me and gone back to worldly things...Tell My people to return to the old paths." Only the holy ones will see Him.  Only the holy ones will live in heaven. He said to Angelica, "I am coming for a holy people, ready, without blemish, without wrinkle and without defilement..." There will be no idolators, drunkards, adulterers, fornicators, greedy or swindlers in heaven.  Therefore, let us all seek the Lord now while there is time, and not seek the date of His return.

"Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near." (Is 55:6)

He is coming, but not for those that are half-hearted.  He will return only for a people that is seeking Him in spirit and in truth.  There is a promise for those who seek Him with all their hearts:

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jer 29:13)

Let's keep our eyes focused on Him, not the calendar, since everyone who has ever claimed to know the rapture date has been wrong.  Adore Him.

"Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Heb 12:2)

If you are not living your life for Jesus, keeping His Word, then I urge you to repent now before it's too late.  Return to the old paths! Live your life completely and solely for Him from this day forward, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Rapture Revelation to Angelica Zambrano

Angelica Zambrano
In 2009, the Lord took an Ecuadorean young lady, named Angelica Zambrano, to heaven and hell.  I have written about her testimony in my articles, Angelica Zambrano Hell and Heaven and Angelica Zambrano Second Visit to Hell. Among many other things, He showed her how the rapture will happen.  She states:

"Daughter, you have to return to Earth...Daughter, I am going to show you something: How I am coming to Earth for a holy people.  I am going to show you how the day of the Rapture will be."  

We walked to a place with a giant screen, and I saw people in it.  I could observe the whole world.  Then suddenly I saw thousands of people disappearing.  Pregnant women had their pregnancy disappear, and they looked like they had gone crazy screaming.

Children had disappeared from all over.  Many people were running from here to there, screaming, "This can't be, this can't be!  What's happening?"

I saw those who had known the Lord, but were left behind. (Matt 24:40-41) They were saying that Christ had come, the Rapture happened.  They screamed and wanted to kill themselves, but they couldn't.  The Lord told me, "Daughter, in those days, death will flee; Daughter, in those days the Holy Spirit will no longer be on Earth."  (Revelations 9:6) There were accidents but I didn't see a single dead person: all of them were alive, although injured.

After the Rapture, I observed enormous traffic with thousands of people.  He told me, "Daughter, look, this is how everything will happen."   I then saw people running from one place to another, shouting, "Christ came, Christ came!"  They would plead, "Lord, forgive me, forgive me, take me with You!"

But sadly the Lord said, "It will be too late.  The time to repent is now...Daughter, go tell humanity to seek Me, for during that time there will no longer be opportunity.  (Isaiah 55:6)  Daughter, it will be too late for all those that stay behind." When Jesus observed how people were left behind, He began to weep and said, "Daughter, I will go to Earth as it says in 1 Thes.  4: 16-17 : “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

But not everyone will go with the Lord, only those who are doing His will (Matthew 7:21) and living a holy life.  For the Lord told me, "Only those that are holy will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, (Hebrews 12:14), No one knows, neither the day nor the hour in which I will go for My holy people, not even the angels know it." (Matthew 24:36)

On the screen I saw people running around.  Magazines and TV news said that “CHRIST HAD COME.”  The screen closed, and Jesus finished by saying, "I will go for a holy people."   This was all He showed me.  After that, He brought me back here to Earth.

With angels gathered round, we began to descend these beautiful stairs; white steps with flowers surrounding them.  I was crying all the way down, pleading with Jesus, "Lord, please, don't leave me here.  Take me with You!" He responded, "Daughter, the nations, your family are waiting for you...Daughter, you must enter that body.  You must receive life, Daughter, so you can go and testify what you have seen.  Many will not believe you; many will believe you, but I am your faithful witness.  I am with you.  I will never leave you."

Angelica Testifying Before an Audience Later
The Lord told me, "Daughter, in those days the Holy Spirit will no longer be on Earth.  In those days, He will no longer be on Earth." (2 Thes. 2:7)  And I saw enormous traffic, with accidents.  Many people wanted to kill themselves, but Jesus said, "They shall seek death, but death shall flee from humanity.  Death will no longer be during that time."(Revelations 9:6)  I saw people watching TV and magazines that read, "Thousands and Thousands have Disappeared." Many already knew that Christ had come for His holy people.  Those who knew the Lord, but were left behind, went crying through the streets, wanting to kill themselves, but they could not do anything.

While in Heaven, Jesus said, "I will come for a holy people and I will come soon for My church."  But two weeks ago the Lord told me, "Daughter, I take pleasure in what you are doing, that you are fulfilling what I have given you, but do not tell My people that I am coming soon.  Tell My people that I am coming right away." Again the Lord said, "Tell My people that I am coming right away and that I am coming for a holy people.  Tell My people that only the holy ones, only the holy ones will see Me!...And do not be silent: Keep on declaring what I have told you."

Putting it All Together
If you are not living your life for Jesus, keeping His Word, then I urge you to repent now before it's too late.  Return to the old paths! Live your life completely and solely for Him from this day forward, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
