Welcome to Prophecy Q & A with Jimmy DeYoung!
The Rapture and the return of Christ are two separate events. The next events are listed below:
- Rapture – We are caught up
- Tribulation period
- Return of Christ – We return with Christ
At the Rapture, Jesus shouts, calls us believers into the heavenlies to be with Him forever. We are caught up. It can happen at any moment. It is an imminent event and can happen day or night, summer or winter, which I believe can happen very soon. The Rapture is not for Jewish people but for Christians, Jews and Gentiles who come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. There are no signs or indications that it will happen. We are listening for a sound for the Rapture of the church.
At the return of Christ, Revelation 19:11ff, we get on white horses alongside Jesus Christ, and we come back to the Earth (Zechariah 14:4) to the Mount of Olives in the city of Jerusalem. This event will be at least seven years from now. After the Rapture of the Church, there is a period of time before the seven-year period clock starts to tick when the Antichrist confirms the peace treaty for the seven years at the beginning of the Tribulation. The Antichrist has to come out of the Roman empire and confirm the peace treaty.
I believe that Jesus will return at the Feast of Trumpets. The Feast of Trumpets is not for Christians but for Jewish people. The first four feasts were fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Matthew 24:31 Christ says to the angel to take your trumpet, blow your trumpet, and call a solemn assembly of Jews from all of the corners of the Earth and out of heaven.
Jimmy DeYoung was a prophecy teacher and journalist who travelled the country and the world educating the Body of Christ of the future events foretold in God’s prophetic Word. His goal was to equip Christians with the knowledge and understanding of what God’s Word says will happen someday soon, so that they can make better decisions today. Dr. DeYoung went home to be with his Savior on August 15, 2021.
