Harpazó



 Harpazó

Definition: to seize, catch up, snatch away

harpázō – properly, seize by force; snatch up, suddenly and decisively; to take by an open display of force (i.e. not covertly or secretly).

See 1Thess 4:16-17

 

Why with such force? If we picture during the tribulation: The incredible increase of evil in the second heaven, where satan operates. It is no wonder that the Lord will  take possession of His own - snatch us up to the third Heaven - with such great force.

The word was described by one native Greek speaker as a term you would use as if snatching a child from the path of an oncoming car: in other words: to be snatched up from the path of great and life threatening danger. Which is why I believe we must face tribulation, to some degree (John 16:33) so that we can be snatched from it. We cannot escape it. 

The Lord is so good…He wants as many of us to be ready and willing to be “snatched away”…so He will increase the pressure upon us in the earth, and the unleashing of evil…to help us make that decision…because He is merciful.

Why do we think we will be caught up to Heaven, when we love, work and even fight so hard for things of this world?

We send our kids to college, to find the American dream…and they find atheism and materialism, and all of a sudden, the Masonic system that has usurped the nation’s Godly foundation established in 1620, has now usurped the throne of their hearts. We send our kids into the education system only to lose them. This is why we are being shaken. Our Salvation will depend on it! We should be crying out for this. 

That the Lord would squeeze us like an olive in an olive press…for the sake of our kids…our little ones. For the sake of the loved ones we sent to college, only to lose them  to the humanistic/atheistic pyramid of the anti-christ order.

It will continue to get worse on this earth…but the Lord has promised to sustain us (Matthew 6:25-34) and to keep us from wrath (1Thess 5:9), and as more and more people scramble for answers not of this earth, what an amazing time to preach the Gospel…to go in - and out - as an army…with a bang! Harpatzo!

In some of the more charismatic mega churches, you will hear things like “today God is going to uncover your destiny”…or “God has a purpose and a destiny for your life”.

Lord help us realize that the rich reward of a  soul won for you, with sufferings and sacrifice…that the joy of a life laid down for friends and enemies, in the service of You, is our destiny. He who wants to save his life will lose it…but the one who loses their life for you, will gain REAL LIFE eternally. 

Lord, change our perspective…change our hearts!…that the pressure and squeezing upon the Land IS Your mercy…because You love us and want to show your glory through our lives laid down - You want us to look like You. This is the reason for the shaking of the nations of the earth.

The Final Reformation Volume III Ch.2 The Beautiful Remnant of America - Part 2

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part II   So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the Lord drives. Isaiah 59:19 Before continuing, please ensure that you have first read Chapter 1 ~ The Olive Press https://undergod714.blogspot.com/2024/03/john-1220-among-those-who-went-up-to.html i ~ The “Hidden” Remnant   “What is a tree without its roots? Roots expand underground in the darkness - the hidden place, that the tree may stand, firmly grounded through the storm. This expansion does not come without faith, time, patience and endurance, and goes entirely un-noticed and un-acclaimed,  because it takes place underground . And yet we know that this expansion is essential to the life and health of the tree.  So it is for the Church in this hour… “What is a house without its foundations?  A house built quickly- on sand    - will not stand - but th...

The Final Reformation Vol.3, Ch.14 The Unraveling to the End

  The Final Dispensation   Romans 8: 35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?  36  As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long;  we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  38  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,  39  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Isaiah 52:7 This picture - taken from the movie “ War Games ”, is as close as I can get, to describe the John 12:24 glory over the nations: the overlapping and arching lines are the Body of Christ as we go out to preach the Gospel; the dark background is the evil of the anti christ regime and the wh...

The Final Reformation Vol.3, Ch.8 ~ The Love of a Motley Crew

~From now on, whenever I write “the clock was ticking” or words along that line, I am referring to the winding down of the time of the Gentiles spoken of by Paul in Romans 11:25 - and the lead up to “ Jacob ’s trouble”, spoken of in Jeremiah 30:7 (which I believe to be the (7) or 3 1/2 years of great tribulation) *With regards to the differing views on eschatology, I can only write what I saw, enforcing it, as best I can, with the Word of God. You the reader, may or may not agree.* ~~~ {In 1607, landed at Cape Henry, Virginia and surrounded by a motley crew of sailors, ex-criminals and prospectors, the Rev. Robert Hunt kneels under a seven foot cross, brought with him from England and prays the following: “Father, we come to you in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Savior to dedicate this land to the glory of God…Father in Heaven, we consecrate this Cross.   We consecrate ourselves to the Great Commission , making disciples of all the people of this new land.   We consec...
