 The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth May 12, 2015 Edition written by Frank DiMora.

I had a message via my Skype by Peter Higbie who wanted to know if I knew anything about the Rapture Puzzle? Since being in the ministry since 1977 I have listened to many people who claim to know the exact date Jesus Christ is going to return again.  In my prophecy book I cite many of these people who have set dates for the Lord’s return. I have also warned to watch for more people to do the same thing. When you read my book you will discover  every person who has set a date has seen the date come and go without seeing Jesus return.  Now once again we have yet another person who has written a book giving the exact date of the Lord.  I have found many things the author has written that do not line up with the word. I am not going to cover every detail that doesn’t line up as I simply do not have the time. I will say this at the start.  Before I became a Christian I studied with the Jehovah’s Witnesses only to learn that this organization was full of false prophets who set dates for the Lord’s return. When the dates came and went without the Lord coming back the JW’s changed the dates and tried to cover up their false prophecies.  This is the case with the Rapture Puzzle as well.  In her original ‘book’  it was titled Day of Atonement 2015; she has already CHANGED it to 2016– so much for her math.  Why the need to change the date from 2015 to 2016?  The Bible is very clear that God does not change.  Numbers 23:19 “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill”  The red flag needs to be raised very quickly when you read something someone wrote and is teaching from a document which was not placed in the Cannon. This is the second thing I found right away as the author quotes from the writings of ‘Barnabas’- a book not recognized by Jewish or Protestant cannons.    Our Lord warned us that this would take place in the last days. Read 2 Timothy 4:3 “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.”

The author say’s SHE believes God has a 7000 year plan right?  Although the last 1,000 is the millennial reign- 6000 years for everything to be fulfilled.  What school did she go to?  I understand what she’s saying and how she’s adding but there are no respected Biblical scholars who agree.  The Jews themselves show only 5775 this year.  For her to be accurate, Jesus can’t come back for 225 years!    Has she not figured in the date changes from Jewish to Gregorian calendars?  Also another thing to consider is that the word tells us the Antichrist will “change the times and seasons” so no matter what she says how accurate can ANYONE but God be? 

Here is the Acts of Barnabas-  (NOT called the Espistle of Barnabas) from the Gnostic Library http://gnosis.org/library/actbarn.htm; —- I made it through.  I had trouble from the 2nd paragraph which states JOHN wrote it! All you need to do is read this and you will see WHY it isn’t in the cannon.  Here is the first 4 paragraphs: 

Since from the descent of the presence of our Saviour Jesus Christ, the unwearied and benevolent and mighty Shepherd and Teacher and Physician, I beheld and saw the ineffable and holy and unspotted mystery of the Christians, who hold the hope in holiness, and who have been sealed; and since I have zealously served Him, I have deemed it necessary to give account of the mysteries which I have heard and seen.
I John, accompanying the holy apostles Barnabas and Paul, being formerly a servant of Cyrillus the high priest of Jupiter, but now having received the gift of the Holy Spirit through Paul and Barnabas and Silas, who were worthy of the calling, and who baptized me in Iconium. After I was baptized, then, I saw a certain man standing clothed in white raiment; and he said to me: Be of good courage, John, for assuredly your name shall be changed to Mark, and your glory shall be proclaimed in all the world. And the darkness in you has passed away from you, and there has been given to you understanding to know the mysteries of God.

And when I saw the vision, becoming greatly terrified, I went to the feet of Barnabas, and related to him the mysteries which I had seen and heard from that man. And the Apostle Paul was not by when I disclosed the mysteries. And Barnabas said to me: Tell no one the miracle which you have seen. For by me also this night the Lord stood, saying, Be of good courage: for as you have given your life for my name to death and banishment from your nation, thus also shall you be made perfect. Moreover, as for the servant who is with you, take him also with yourself; for he has certain mysteries. Now then, my child, keep to yourself the things which you have seen and heard; for a time will come for you to reveal them.

And I, having been instructed in these things by him, remained in Iconium many days; for there was there a holy man and a pious, who also entertained us, whose house also Paul had sanctified. Thence, therefore, we came to Seleucia, and after staying three days sailed away to Cyprus; and I was ministering to them until we had gone round all Cyprus. And setting sail from Cyprus, we landed in Perga of Pamphylia. And there I then stayed about two months, wishing to sail to the regions of the West; and the Holy Spirit did not allow me. Turning, therefore, I again sought the apostles; and having learned that they were in Antioch, I went to them.

And I found Paul in bed in Antioch from the toil of the journey, who also seeing me, was exceedingly grieved on account of my delaying in Pamphylia. And Barnabas coming, encouraged him, and tasted bread, and he took a little of it. And they preached the word of the Lord, and enlightened many of the Jews and Greeks. And I only attended to them, and was afraid of Paul to come near him, both because he held me as having spent much time in Pamphylia, and because he was quite enraged against me. And I gave repentance on my knees upon the earth to Paul, and he would not endure it. And when I remained for three Sabbaths in entreaty and prayer on my knees, I was unable to prevail upon him about myself; for his great grievance against me was on account of my keeping several parchments in Pamphylia.

*** if this is Barnabas’ cousin JOHN MARK it still makes no sense because what was he doing in Heaven? 

Also: When Jesus said “no man knows the day or the hour” he meant that exactly the way it sounded.  She states he is referring to an Old Testament verse (which we KNOW is still relevant) in Zechariah 14:7 (the same verse I pointed out to you tells us we have to go to Jerusalem every year for the Feast of Tabernacles).  However she has taken this verse OUT of context.  The Zechariah verse she quotes has to do with the conditions AFTER Jesus returns and touches down on the Mount of Olives.  This is NOT the rapture!  Let’s PRETEND for a moment that there is no pre-trib rapture (which she seems to be saying).  It does NOT change the fact that even if there is NO pre trib rapture…the ‘rapture’ MUST come before God’s Bowl Judgements.  We are not appointed unto wrath (1 Thess. 5:9).  The Bible clearly states that the Bowl Judgments ARE God’s Wrath- we cannot be here for that.  Jesus doesn’t return until Rev. 16 which is AFTER.

 Here is another huge problem with what she says in her book.  The prophet Daniel  in chapter 9 of the book of Daniel we are told the Antichrist is going to go into the God’s Holy place and stop the of the sacrifice. This is what Daniel 9:26-27 says. “²⁶ And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. ²⁷ And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”  In her book The Rapture Puzzle she tries to make people think that what Daniel was referring to in this passage was the Nativity in Bethlehem.  It is not the Nativity!  2 Thessalonians 2:4 makes it very clear that what Daniel was referring to is a Temple not the nativity in Bethlehem. I quote 2 Thess. 2:4. “He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.”  The word of God is clear a third Temple is going to be rebuilt and this is the Temple that the Jews are going to start doing their sacrifices again.  Let us not forget that the Bible tells us that when the Antichrist goes into the rebuilt Temple it will be at that time when He starts to force the world to take his mark in the right hand or forehead.  If we were in the 4 year of the tribulation already as in the Rapture Puzzle why haven’t we seen the world being forced to take that mark?  Answer. That time has not come yet.  Look at what Jesus said in Mark chapter 13: 14.”But when ye shall see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, STANDING WHERE IT OUGHT NOT (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:”  According to the Rapture Puzzie the desolation Daniel talks about already took place on March 22nd 2013.  I can assure everyone that if they were to travel to Israel today you will not find the Israeli’s running to the mountains. Israel is still very strong and very able to defend itself.  What the Rapture Puzzle wants you to believe is just plan wrong. 

If we are already well into the tribulation as The Rapture Puzzle author says then why haven’t we seen the new Temple rebuilt already and, the Jews killing the lambs in their new Jewish sacrifices?   The answer is simple. We haven’t even begun the 7 year tribulation yet!

As I said, I don’t have the time to cover all the things up-setting with this new date of the Lord’s return.  I am sure for those who study the Bible and happen to read The Rapture Puzzle they will find many holes in this new teaching.  One last thing.  God has given us all that we need to know without giving us or a single person a new revelation.  If you do read this new work and find other holes in the teaching and want to share them email what you found and I will post them at my site.
