Be Ready, Get Ready, the Harpazo has come!

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard." Matthew 20:1-2

A Last Call to the Wheat Among the Tares

"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." - Genesis 2:24

This is it. My final argument for the Harpazo. After years of studying, analyzing, and wrestling with End Times eschatology, I am laying down my pen on this matter. Not in defeat, but in surrender to a truth so crystalline it cuts through every theological debate like a sword: Satan will not be raptured.

Let that sink in….he will miss the Harpazo, praise God.

It tells us everything.

The Great Separation Has Already Begun

Just as Genesis 2:24 establishes the divine pattern of leaving and cleaving—where a person must separate from their original family to form a new covenant union—so Christ is calling His Bride to leave the familiar, the comfortable, the religiously acceptable, and cleave unto Him in radical, transformative unity. The Bridegroom is preparing to take His Bride, and later, the broader Church will join this mystical union as one body in Christ.

But here's the brutal truth that will make your spiritual skin crawl: many who think they're going up aren't wheat at all—they're tares, masterfully disguised, even to themselves.

Why This Is My Last Stand

I've watched as the very ones who should be heralding the Bridegroom's return instead twist, distort, hide, and outright lie about the Harpazo. I've seen supposed shepherds feed their flocks poison disguised as doctrine, ensuring their spiritual children will sleep through the most important alarm in human history.

The antichrist spirit isn't just coming—it's been here, working through religious systems, governments, the marketplace, academic institutions, and yes, even pulpits, to ensure maximum casualties when the trumpet sounds.

The enemy knows that if he can't stop the Harpazo (which he can't), his best strategy is to make sure as many people as possible miss it through ignorance, false teaching, or spiritual lukewarmness. He doesn't need to convince people that Jesus isn't coming—he just needs to convince them that He's not coming soon.

The Raw Reality

This document will do one of two things to you:

If you're wheat, it will ignite something deep in your spirit. You'll feel that familiar stirring, that quickening, that sense of "Yes, Lord, come quickly!" You'll recognize the voice of the Shepherd calling His sheep by name. Your heart will burn within you as it did for the disciples on the road to Emmaus.

If you're a tare, you'll hate every word. You'll find theological reasons to dismiss it. You'll get angry, defensive, maybe even militant in your opposition. You'll feel compelled to argue, to tear down, to ridicule. That reaction itself will be your answer about which category you fall into.

The Uncomfortable Question

Here's what keeps me awake at night: What if the very people arguing most vehemently against the Harpazo—the ones with the seminary degrees, the pastoral credentials, the religious pedigree—what if they're the ones who'll be left standing in empty churches, wondering where everybody went? Are you still following them?

What if the most religious among us have confused their relationship with religion for a relationship with Christ? What if they've been so busy building kingdoms of men that they've missed the Kingdom of Heaven breaking through? What if they are a Tare?

The Divine Pattern

The pattern is set in Genesis and fulfilled in Revelation: leaving and cleaving. First fruits first—the Bride must leave this world system and cleave to Christ in the Harpazo. Then comes the broader harvest, as the Church joins the Bridegroom in the mystical union that makes them one body, one flesh, one spirit with the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

But leaving requires discernment. Cleaving demands abandonment and surrender to obey Jesus. And both require a level of spiritual maturity that much of the modern church has abdicated in favor of comfort, compromise, and crowd-pleasing.

The Point of No Return

After this document, I'm done arguing. The separation between wheat and tares is accelerating, and frankly, it needs to. The fence-sitters need to choose sides. The lukewarm need to get hot or cold. The religious need to become relational, or they need to be revealed for what they truly are. Tares.

Time is shorter than most realize. Days, not years. The landowner is making His final trip to the marketplace. The last hour laborers are being called. And when that trumpet sounds, theological debates won't matter. Seminary degrees won't count. Church attendance records won't save you.

The only thing that will matter is this: Do you know Him, and does He know you?

"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." - Matthew 7:23

The question isn't whether you believe in the Harpazo. The question is whether you'll be ready when it happens.

Let's find out together what side of the Great Tribulation you're really on.

This is my final argument. After this, let the wheat and tares grow together until the harvest. The Bridegroom is in the field and He is coming for His Bride. Will you be ready to leave and cleave?

A Biblical Analysis of the Harpazo and the Parable of the Workers

“And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the market place; and to those he said, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ And so they went. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same thing." Matthew 20:3-5

The Transformation Awaits

"Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure." 1 John 3:2-3

The hope of transformation and glorification motivates present purification. We live in readiness because we believe the promise.

The Reunion Approaches

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

The Harpazo represents the great reunion of all believers throughout history. The early workers and the eleventh-hour workers will be caught up together, all receiving the same glorious transformation.

The Last Minute (11:59)

We stand at what may be the final moment of the final hour. The landowner is making His last trip to the marketplace, calling the remaining workers into the vineyard. The trumpet sound may be heard at any moment, calling us up to meet our Lord in the air.

“And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he *said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day long?’ They *said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He *said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’" Matthew 20:6-7

The parable of the workers teaches us that it's never too late to respond while the call is still being given. Whether you've served since early morning or are just hearing the call now, the same reward awaits all who enter by faith.

“When evening came, the owner of the vineyard *said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.’’" Matthew 20:8

The question that demands an answer: What side of this truth do you want to be found on when the trumpet sounds? Will you be among those caught up in the Harpazo, or will you remain for the tribulation that follows?

“When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius. When those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. When they received it, they grumbled at the landowner, saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’ " Matthew 20:9-12

If you haven't yet responded to the Gospel call, today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow may be too late. The door is still open, but it won't remain open forever.

“But he answered and said to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?’ So the last shall be first, and the first last." Matthew 20:13-16

If you are a believer, live in readiness, work with urgency, and watch with expectation. The blessed hope may be fulfilled in our generation—perhaps even in September 2025, though only God knows the exact day and hour.

The last hour laborers are being called. The evening is approaching. The reward is certain for all who respond.

What will it be for you and your house—believing for the Harpazo and living in readiness, or dismissing the hope and being found unprepared?

The choice is yours. The time is now. The call is going out.

"The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' And let the one who hears say, 'Come.' And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost." Revelation 22:17

Come while the invitation stands. Enter the vineyard while the door remains open. Join the workers while it is still day.
The landowner is calling. Will you answer?

"Amen. Come, Lord Jesus." Revelation 22:20

The Final Call in the Eleventh Hour

We stand at what may be the threshold of the most significant prophetic fulfillment in human history—the Harpazo, or catching away of the Church. Through careful examination of Scripture using the principle of "Bible interprets Bible," we find compelling evidence that we are indeed in the final hour, and that the last group of laborers is being called into the vineyard of the Lord.

"For THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard." - Matthew 20:1

The parable of the workers in Matthew 20:1-16 serves as our central text, revealing profound truths about God's grace, timing, and the equal reward awaiting all who respond to His call, regardless of when they enter His service. My analysis will demonstrate through Scripture alone how this parable illuminates our current prophetic moment and the urgency of the final harvest.

The Foundation: Understanding the Keys of the Kingdom

Isaiah 22:22 - The Key of David

"And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open." Isaiah 22:22

This prophetic word establishes the authority of the Messiah over the house of David. The "key" represents complete authority and access. When connected to Revelation 3:7-8, we see this fulfilled in Christ: "These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth: I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it."

The "open door" that cannot be shut represents the invitation to enter the kingdom that remains available until the final moment. This connects directly to our parable in Matthew 20, where the landowner continues to call workers even at the eleventh hour. It is 11:59, what are you waiting for?

The Pattern of Divine Invitation

Matthew 7:7 - "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

John 10:9 - "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."

Revelation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he is with me."

These passages establish the consistent pattern of God's invitation throughout Scripture. The door remains open, Christ continues to knock, and those who respond—whether early or late in the day—receive full access to salvation and kingdom benefits.

The Parable of the Laborers: A Prophetic Timeline

Matthew 20:1-16 - The Complete Narrative

Let us examine this parable verse by verse AGAIN, allowing Scripture to reveal its prophetic significance:

"For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard." (verses 1-2)

The "householder" represents Christ Himself, the master of the harvest. The "vineyard" is the field of ministry and service in God's kingdom. The "penny" (denarius) represents the complete reward of salvation and eternal life. Those hired "early in the morning" represent the apostolic church and early believers who have labored throughout the church age.

"And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way." (verses 3-4)

The "third hour" (approximately 9 AM) could represent the early church fathers and the establishment of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. Each successive calling represents different periods of church history, with faithful servants responding to the call of their generation.

"Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise." (verse 5)

The "sixth hour" (noon) and "ninth hour" (3 PM) continue this pattern of successive callings throughout church history. Notice that the landowner consistently finds workers "standing idle"—not because they are lazy, but because they haven't yet been called or haven't yet recognized the call. This is a result of the ONE MAN SHOW!

The Eleventh Hour: The Final Calling

"And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive." (verses 6-7)

This is the pivotal moment. The "eleventh hour" represents the final period before the end of the workday—before the coming of the night when no man can work (John 9:4). These final workers have been standing available all day, but no one had called them until now.

The question "Why stand ye here all the day idle?" is not accusatory but investigative. Their response, "Because no man hath hired us," reveals a crucial truth: they were ready and willing, but the timing of their calling was in the sovereign hands of the householder.

The Equal Reward: Grace Magnified

"So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny." (verses 8-9)

The "even" (evening) represents the end of the age, the time of reckoning and reward. The remarkable truth revealed here is that those who worked only one hour received the same reward as those who worked all day. This demonstrates the principle of grace over works—salvation is not earned by duration of service but received by faith in response to the call.

"But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day." (verses 10-12)

The "murmuring" of the early workers represents a human perspective that measures worth by duration of service rather than by grace. This reveals an important truth: even among the faithful, there can be misunderstanding about the nature of God's grace.

The Divine Response: Grace Explained

"But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen." (verses 13-16)

The landowner's response reveals the heart of divine grace. The early workers received exactly what was promised—they were not wronged. The grace shown to the late workers doesn't diminish the reward of the early workers; it magnifies the goodness of God.

The phrase "Is thine eye evil, because I am good?" uses the Hebrew concept of the "evil eye" representing envy or grudging spirit. God's goodness is not diminished by being extended to others, regardless of timing.

The Transformative Power: Made New in Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 - The Complete Transformation

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

This passage reveals the complete transformation available to every worker who enters the vineyard, regardless of the hour of their calling. The "new creature" status is instantaneous and complete—not gradual or partial. The eleventh-hour workers become "ambassadors for Christ" with the same authority and standing as those who have served longer.

Ephesians 3:20 - The Power at Work Within

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." Ephesians 3:20

The same transformative power that worked in the apostles works in the eleventh-hour laborers. God's ability to transform and use new believers "exceeds abundantly" what human logic would suggest possible. This explains how those called at the final hour can receive the same reward—they are empowered by the same divine power.

1 Peter 5:10 - The God of All Grace

"But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."

Peter, writing to believers facing persecution, emphasizes that God is "the God of all grace." The calling to "eternal glory" is not based on duration of service but on grace alone. The promise to "make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you" applies to all who respond to the call, regardless of timing.

The Worship Response: Entering His Courts

Psalm 100:4 - The Proper Response

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." Psalms 100:4

This verse provides the proper response to understanding God's grace in calling workers at every hour. "Thanksgiving" and "praise" are the appropriate responses to receiving the unmerited favor of being called into His service, whether early or late.

The progression from "gates" to "courts" represents moving from initial salvation (entering the gates) to intimate fellowship and service (dwelling in the courts). Both are available to every believer who responds to the call.

Psalm 45:6 - The Eternal Throne

"Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre." Psalm 45:6

This messianic psalm, quoted in Hebrews 1:8 as referring to Christ, establishes the eternal nature of Christ's kingdom and the righteousness of His rule. The "right sceptre" indicates that His judgments and rewards are perfectly just, including the equal reward given to workers regardless of their time of service.

The Prophetic Moment: The Door in Heaven

Revelation 4:1-2 - The Open Door

"After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne." Revelation 4:1-2

This passage begins the prophetic revelation of end-times events. The "door was opened in heaven" connects to the earlier promises of Christ having the key of David and setting before His church an open door that no man can shut. The "voice...as it were of a trumpet" calling "Come up hither" represents the rapture call.

The timing of this vision "after this" (after the church age described in Revelation 2-3 suggests the church is called up before the tribulation judgments that follow in subsequent chapters.

The Feast of Trumpets: God's Appointed Time

While the specific date cannot be known with certainty (Matthew 24:36), the pattern of God working through His appointed times (moedim) suggests the Feast of Trumpets as the likely timing for the Harpazo. This feast, occurring in September/October, is characterized by:

The Trumpet Call: The feast features the blowing of trumpets, connecting to 1 Corinthians 15:52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16.

The Unknown Day: It's the only feast that begins with the new moon, making the exact day uncertain within a 48-hour window.

The Awakening Call: Traditionally a call to spiritual awakening and preparation.

The Urgency of the Hour

The Night Approaches

Jesus declared in John 9:4: "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."

We are approaching the night when the opportunity to labor in the vineyard will end. The final call is going out to the eleventh-hour workers. The question each person must answer is: Will you respond to the call?

The Risk Assessment

If believers are wrong about the specific timing of September 2025:

They have lived in readiness, holiness, and expectation.

They have proclaimed the Gospel with urgency.

They have laid up treasures in heaven.

They lose nothing of eternal value.

If unbelievers are wrong about the Harpazo entirely:

They face the Great Tribulation without the protection of being in Christ.

They miss the opportunity to be caught up with the saints.

They face the wrath of God revealed in the end times.

They risk eternal separation from God.

The wise choice is clear: respond to the call while the door remains open.

The Final Appeal: Which Side Will You Choose?

The Two Destinies

Scripture presents two clear destinies:

For Believers: Participation in the Harpazo, receiving the reward of faith, transformation into the image of Christ, and eternal fellowship with God.

For Unbelievers: Remaining for the Great Tribulation, facing the judgments of God upon a Christ-rejecting world, and potential eternal separation from God.

The Equal Reward Principle

The parable of the workers provides tremendous hope for those who feel they have wasted much of their lives or come to faith late. The eleventh-hour workers receive the same reward as those who worked all day. This is not unfairness—it's grace.

If you are reading this and have not yet responded to the call of Christ, you may be among the eleventh-hour workers. The same salvation, the same transformation, the same eternal reward awaits you as those who have served for decades.

The Predestination Perspective

While we preach the Gospel to all, Scripture teaches that God has predestined those who will respond (Romans 8:29-30, Ephesians 1:4-5). We don't know who the "wheat" and who the "tares" are, so we cast the seed of the Gospel broadly, trusting the Holy Spirit to activate faith in those whom God has chosen.

Our responsibility is to believe, receive, and proclaim. God's responsibility is to call, choose, and transform.

The Contending Faith

Jude's Exhortation

Jude writes: "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 1:3).

Contending for the faith includes maintaining the blessed hope of the Harpazo. This hope is not escapism—it's the motivation for holy living, urgent evangelism, and faithful service while we wait.

The Watching Church

Jesus commanded: "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come" (Matthew 24:42). The watching church is characterized by:

Expectancy: Looking for His appearing.

Readiness: Living in holiness and preparation.

Activity: Working while it is day.

Joy: Rejoicing in the blessed hope.

Practical Application: Living in the Last Hour

For New Believers (Eleventh-Hour Workers)

If you are newly called into the vineyard:

Embrace your equal standing: You receive the same salvation as lifelong believers.

Don't despise your late start: God's timing is perfect.

Work with urgency: Though you started late, work with full devotion.

Trust in grace: Your reward is based on God's grace, not your works.

For Seasoned Believers (Early Workers)

If you have served long in the vineyard:

Rejoice in God's grace to others: Don't develop an "evil eye" toward new believers.

Welcome the eleventh-hour workers: They are your equals in Christ.

Maintain your first love: Don't let service replace relationship.

Anticipate the reward: You will receive everything God promised.

For the Undecided

If you haven't yet entered the vineyard:

Recognize the lateness of the hour: Time is running short.

Respond to the call: The invitation is still open.

Don't delay: The door may close at any moment.

Trust in God's goodness: He desires your salvation.

The Blessed Hope: Our Motivation

The Transformation Awaits

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure" 1 John 3:2-3

The hope of transformation and glorification motivates present purification. We live in readiness because we believe the promise.

The Reunion Approaches

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words" 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)

The Harpazo represents the great reunion of all believers throughout history. The early workers and the eleventh-hour workers will be caught up together, all receiving the same glorious transformation.

Conclusion: The Final Call 11:59:55

We stand at what may be the final moment of the final hour. The landowner is making His last trip to the marketplace, calling the remaining workers into the vineyard. The trumpet sound may be heard at any moment, calling us up to meet our Lord in the air.

The parable of the workers teaches us that it's never too late to respond while the call is still being given. Whether you've served since early morning or are just hearing the call now, the same reward awaits all who enter by faith.

The question that demands an answer: What side of this truth do you want to be found on when the trumpet sounds? Will you be among those caught up in the Harpazo, or will you remain for the tribulation that follows?

If you haven't yet responded to the Gospel call, today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow may be too late. The door is still open, but it won't remain open forever.

If you are a believer, live in readiness, work with urgency, and watch with expectation. The blessed hope may be fulfilled in our generation—perhaps even in September 2025, though only God knows the exact day and hour.

The last hour laborers are being called. The evening is approaching. The reward is certain for all who respond.

What will it be for you and your house—believing for the Harpazo and living in readiness, or dismissing the hope and being found unprepared?

The choice is yours. The time is now. The call is going out.

"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" Revelation 22:17

Come while the invitation stands. Enter the vineyard while the door remains open. Join the workers while it is still day.

The landowner is calling. Will you answer?

"Even so, come, Lord Jesus" Revelation 22:20
