The Bride Who Has Chosen To Stay

Hey brothers and sisters! Earlier, I posted on my Community page that I’d had a dream about the Bride who is not ready.

For those who didn’t see that post, I will retell the dream.

In my dream, my first true love came to take me away. But I told Him I had to go and say goodbye to my family.

I went back to the home I lived in as a teenager and I sat with my family for a little while, talking to them. I ended up staying longer than I had planned and then I remembered my first love sitting outside on my front porch. I got up and went running out the door.

I apologized to Him for leaving and staying gone so long. We spent some time together and we were head over heels in love.

Then I was with my husband who I am married to in real life and he was asking me about this other man. I felt like I needed to hide my true feelings for the other man so I told my husband we were just friends. Then I looked into my husband’s eyes and I said, “Gemini.”

If you don’t already know, my first true love in this dream is Jesus. However, in the dream, the man’s name was Edward. My actual first true love in real life at the age of 16 was a man named Ed. The Lord had used him in this dream to represent Jesus and to signify that He is showing me something about my true love. When I looked up the name Edward, I found that it means, ‘prosperity’, ‘wealth’, ‘guard’, ‘guardian’, and ‘protector’.

In real life, Ed was my protector and he guarded me from going down a very dark and evil path in the entertainment industry. The Lord has given me the understanding many years ago that Ed was placed in my life to keep me from achieving my dream of being an entertainer. He was my restrainer. And since I was not saved at this time, but the Lord knew I would be in the future, so Ed was like my surrogate Jesus. Not that I worshiped him, but just that Jesus is the protector of the saved and the Holy Spirit is the restrainer of evil. Ed was my protector and restrainer. So the Lord used him in this dream to give me a clear understanding that he was representative of the Lord.

So anyway, when He first came to take me away, I told Him I had to go and say goodbye to my family. This means that I was not ready to go with Him. I was still too bound to my family, which can also represent the things of this world. Then when I left Him and went back to my family, I stayed longer than I had planned.

When I realized my true love was sitting outside waiting for me, I ran to Him and apologized for keeping Him waiting.

We spent time together and it was then that I realized how in love we were. But we did not leave together.

All of this is a representation of the Bride who is not yet ready for Jesus. This particular Bride is too worried about family and the things of this world and is not fully surrendered to Jesus. If she were, she would have gone with Him when He came for her, instead of leaving Him to go back to her family. Then she made Him wait for her.

After having this dream and after posting it to my Community page, the Holy Spirit reminded me of some scriptures that go along with this and He inspired me to turn this into a teaching message.

All throughout the Bible, God is telling us that when He comes to deliver us we should not look back or go back for any reason. These are the scriptures He gave me.

These first verses of scripture are about Lot and his family escaping Sodom.

Genesis 19:17

So it came to pass, when they (the angels) had brought them outside, that he (They were the angels; He is God) said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.”

Genesis 19:23-26

The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar. Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.

But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

God told Lot and his family to get out of the city and not to look back or stay anywhere in the city or else they would be destroyed.

The angels took them to the city limits and Lot negotiated to get to the city of Zoar. Only when he and his family got to Zoar then God rained down fire and brimstone upon Sodom and the cities of the plain. This is representative of the Bride of Christ being taken up in the Rapture and then God will pour out His wrath upon the world.

But Lot’s wife, she looked back and disobeyed God’s instruction so He turned her into a pillar of salt. She was too connected to Sodom and to the people of Sodom and she just couldn’t leave it all behind. She is a representation of the lukewarm church who still has one foot in the world and one foot in Christ. The lukewarm are trying to straddle the fence and though they want to be Raptured, they also don’t want to leave this world behind.

Luke 9:57-62

Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”

And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

Then He said to another, “Follow Me.”

But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”

And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.”

But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

So here we have three men who Jesus has invited to come and follow Him. The first promises to follow Him wherever He goes. Since that man never told Jesus he needed to be somewhere else, we can only assume that he followed Jesus just as he promised. This man represents the Bride of Christ who is faithful and true. She is the one who follows Him wherever He goes. This is the 144,000.

The second man also promises to follow Jesus, but first he wants to go back and bury his father. So Jesus says, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.” We don’t know if he obeyed Jesus’ command, we only know Jesus called him to preach the Kingdom of God. This is a command for all of Jesus’ disciples.

Then the third man also promises to follow Jesus, but he does what the Bride did in my dream. This man says, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.” He wanted to say goodbye to his family. But what did Jesus say to him?

Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

This man represents the Lukewarm Church or the Lukewarm Bride. He wants to follow Jesus, but he also wants to go back to his family. Matthew 10:37 says, “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.”

Matthew 8:19-22

Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

In Matthew, the man who wants to go bury his father is not told to go and preach the Kingdom of God, he is told simply, ‘Follow Me.’ Again, this is the command for all disciples of Christ. We must follow Him and we must preach the Kingdom of God.

Matthew 24:15-18

“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.

Here we are again. In the moment of deliverance, Jesus is telling us not to go back to get or take anything. This does not just apply to those in Israel. This command applies to everyone who is being delivered.

Matthew 22:2-8

“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

Once more, there are people Jesus is inviting to His wedding banquet, but they don’t want to come. They have other things to do. They’re caught up in the things of this world and Jesus says ‘they’re not worthy’.

There is a reoccurring theme here. Over and over throughout scripture, we see Jesus inviting people to follow Him or we see Jesus trying to deliver people from the destruction that’s coming, but the people are not willing to go with Him. They keep wanting to go back to the things in their lives or the things of this world. And He keeps telling us not to turn back, leave everything behind and follow Me.

He loves those who are lukewarm. He’s madly in love with them! But when He comes to take His remnant, those who are not ready to go will be left behind. Sadly.

In the second part of my dream, I was with my husband and he was asking me about the other man who is my true love, but my husband doesn’t know He’s my true love and I felt that I needed to hide that from him. So I told my husband we were just friends. This is how it will be for the left behind believers. They will have to hide their love for Jesus or face persecution.

I looked into my husband’s eyes and I said to myself, “Gemini.”

I don’t know for sure what Gemini means, but I believe that in the context of this dream and the place I said it, persecution will come for the lukewarm left behind this summer. The birth sign of Gemini always represents late May to late June. But the sun will not be in the constellation of Gemini until June 24^th and this will end on July 17^th.

Gemini also represents the duality of good and evil.

For those who are new to this channel, I am not into astrology, I am only using the Sun, Moon, and Stars, which God created, to point out His signs. His Word says, “Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;” (Genesis 1:14)

God speaks of the Sun, Moon, and Stars all throughout scripture and how they reveal the timing of His feasts as well as being signs of judgment.

God made the Sun, Moon, and Stars to be as a calendar and a clock for us to follow. It was never intended to be a prediction of the future or to be a prediction of one’s personality, the way it is used in astrology. What God created is astronomy; the discovery and understanding of the planets and all that God created in the second heaven, which we call outer space.

So now having said that, the constellation of Gemini is a sign for the departure of the Bride who is ready for Christ and also a sign for the coming persecution of the Left Behind.

In years past, many of us have had dreams about twins or about the actual constellation of Gemini. I believe the Lord was trying to give us a clue about the departure and about the start of the Tribulation.

As I said, the sun will be in the constellation of Gemini from June 24^th to July 17^th. And upon looking at 624 and 717 in the Strong’s Concordance, I found that 624 in Hebrew is ‘gathered’, ‘store’, or ‘storehouse’. There is also a secondary meaning which is ‘threshold’. Then 717 in the Hebrew is ‘to gather’ or ‘pluck’. And in the Greek 717 is ‘Armageddon’. So these two numbers speak of a gathering, a storehouse, a threshold, a plucking, and Armageddon, which is where the last world war will take place.

Some of you are looking at Pentecost for the Rapture to take place. Personally, I am still looking at the end of May, from the 19^th till the 27^th.

Pentecost, on the Jewish calendar, is June 5^th. However, if we look to the sun, moon, and stars, and if we count from the actual first day of Passover on May 19^th, Pentecost would fall on July 10^th. Many of us have also been told that the calendar is a month off. So Pentecost falling in the July timeframe puts it right in the windows between 6/24 and 7/17, the window of the gathering, plucking, storehouse, threshold, and Armageddon.

I am not setting a date. I am just a messenger relaying the messages of Christ and of His Holy Spirit.

Whenever the Rapture may come, you do not want to be left behind. You do not want to have a spirit that is bound to this world and to the things of this world. You want to be free to go with Jesus when He comes. Those who get left behind will be persecuted and will have your religious freedom taken from you. Those who are left behind will have to gather together in secret in order to worship Jesus or to pray. Even in your own home with unbelievers, you will not be safe.

It was the Holy Spirit who compelled me to speak this message to you. I pray that it may inspire those it needs to inspire and maybe it will cause everyone to just give themselves a spiritual checkup. Sometimes even when we’re not sick, we go to the doctor just to make sure everything is alright. So take yourself to doctor Jesus and ask Him to give you a spiritual checkup and let you know if anything is amiss. Ask Him to bring things to your mind that may not be spiritually right so that you may repent.

I love you my brothers and sisters. I pray that you are all well and I hope to see you all in our holy Father’s house on that day Jesus comes to gather His remnant. God bless each and every one of you. Shalom.
