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 Beautiful Remnant of America Part 1

15  “Can a woman forget her nursing child,      that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget,      yet I will not forget you. 16  Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;      your walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:15-16 This most recent prophecy is part of my “Fast for Family”, and again runs parallel with my previous visions - some of which can be read in the footnotes at the end. The Beautiful Remnant of the United States of America  i The unity of baptism : I saw many in America: Many families. They stood as if on the banks of the Red Sea, as Israel under Moses…driven there by the Holy Spirit, perused by the kingdom of the anti-Christ. They had been driven there for Baptism: (See Romans 6:1-14) I saw many families. They went down separately…and when they came up they were one: in the Lord and in each other. I realized that this type of unity…the desire and praye...

Volume III 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 the...

Ch.9 ~ The Aftermath of the Great Fall! Part I

Introduction   Written May 4, 2021 Why I believe the Church must endure tribulation: I believe in a final great awakening...and as hard as I try, I cannot shake it off... it is in my DNA... I saw the great eagle that is the USA suddenly arise like lightning from the earth, for (what I believe) would be her last, but finest hour... and at the same time, the gospel move like a great tsunami wave, across the earth, to the farthest islands of the sea, in a playing out of Matthew 24:14;  I saw my own nation explode into the flames of revival; Europe was on fire; I watched as the continent of Africa ran red with the blood of Jesus...I saw other nations that I am not free to disclose...I saw people drop everything and run, run, RUN through the narrow gate - compelled by the deepest darkness the world had ever known...I watched the most hardened and vilest offenders stagger through this same gate and fall to their knees before the Lord...I saw in Africa, hands lifted up from souls tha...
