As Christians, we are called to pray for God’s guidance and wisdom. At Rapture Ready we feel it is more imperative than ever for believers to stand together in prayerful unity as the world continues on a downward spiral toward the Tribulation hour. Calamity causes people to waste huge amounts of time fixated on watching the destruction instead of praying for protection and God’s miraculous interventions.
The Bible is filled with verses encouraging us to stay focused on praying for God’s will for our lives; for the safety and
Up to the final moments of our days on earth, until the day of the Rapture of the Church, we are dedicated to be prayer warriors for the cause of Christ. We have added this new page to invite and motivate our fellow believers to pray for the most pressing needs of the day.
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Timothy 2)

North Carolina at Chapel Hill student recounts defending US flag from anti-Israel protesters when protesters replaced the American flag with a ‘Palestinian’ flag.

California: UCLA falls to anarchy, violence, after students confront anti-Israeli encampment. Police made dozens of arrests.

Young, healthy women euthanized in Netherlands should be a warning for Canada. “I noted that Canada’s trajectory would become that of Belgium and the Netherlands. In fact, Canada’s journey down the slippery slope was far swifter. It took the Low Countries two decades for their euthanasia regimes to reach this point; it took Canada scarcely five years.”
PERVASIVE PERVERSION
Federal Appeals Court Rules West Virginia and North Carolina Must Pay for Transgender Healthcare. The case is likely headed to the US Supreme Court.
AND THE ABORTION ABOMINATION

LAST DAYS TRAITORS
Biden ‘willing to throw Israel under the bus’ to secure victory in the 2024 presidential election. “To him, it’s all about winning elections…”
Spin Cycle: Sunday Shows (Mostly) Take Marching Orders Straight from Biden. The week’s spin began with the White House Correspondence Dinner, where Biden issued marching orders (namely, that it should be open season against former President Trump) that all but one of the network Sunday shows dutifully carried out. Biden framed the 2024 presidential race as a choice that would determine if democracy was “still the sacred cause of America,” suggesting the answer was no unless he’s reelected.
“We Live in An Age of Full-Spectrum Deception.” [one use of foul language]. The result will be sinking back into a pre-modern existence of darkness. Our governing apparatus is visibly willing that to happen.
PLAGUE, PESTILENCE
Bird flu in cows: 1 in 5 pasteurized milk samples had traces of virus, FDA says. So far, bird flu has been detected in 33 dairy herds in at least 8 states: Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, and Texas. However, FDA and other health officials say it’s safe to drink. The FDA noted the viral particles detected were likely remnants of viruses killed during pasteurization. But it goes on to say that to determine if any active, infectious virus remains in milk samples, the agency is performing tests considered “the gold standard” for determining viability.
Democrat Plot to Steal 2024 Uncovered. Democrats and their globalist friends got what they wanted as we swing into election season: skyrocketing levels of H5N1 Bird Flu in the wastewater supply. Like clockwork, news arrives of gain-of-function research underway in American labs at University of Wisconsin, Madison. Funded by USDA and Chinese Academy of Science, researchers have been working for two years to create a H5N1 vaccine using mRNA technology. There’s no such thing as coincidence: gain-of-function research is culminating at the same time as our major H5N1 outbreak.
AND THE PLANNED-DEMIC(S)
Teams Are Set for World War III. A leader in the global warming movement spoke at an event to raise money for the organization and campaign that intends to launch new pandemics in perpetuity to enrich the biowarfare industrial complex.
ECONOMIC AND FOOD INSECURITY
An Economic Shift of Historic Proportions Is Taking Place. In some cases, sales are way down. In others, it seems almost impossible to find a decent job. It’s almost as if a tremendous chill descended upon the U.S. economy as the second quarter of 2024 began.
WEATHER EVENTS
Major flooding and mandatory evacuations in southeast Texas this week from College Station to Houston. The flooding led to the overflowing of rivers, including Trinity and San Jacinto. A new wave of heavy rain and thunderstorms hit on Friday, exacerbating flooding conditions and driving river levels near those of Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
Multi-vortex tornado strikes China’s Guangzhou; 5 fatalities, 33 injured, 141 buildings damaged. A few days later: Extreme rainfall triggers deadly highway collapse in Guangdong, China, killing 48.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS
Hundreds of terror targets attacked during Passover (Apr 22-30). The IDF attacked about 270 terror targets across Gaza Strip, including over 20 rocket batteries aimed at Israel. The rocket launch sites were destroyed.
Macron doesn’t rule out sending troops for Ukraine if Russia breaks front lines and if Zelensky requested reinforcements.
German army prepares plan to feed US troops in event of face-off with Russia on eastern front.

Israel threatened to topple Assad regime if Syria gets involved in Gaza war.
Israeli Warplanes Strike Damascus as Iran Tensions Still on Edge. According to unverified social media reports: The Israeli attack against Syria targeted the building of the Syrian State Security branch in the “Najha” area in the Damascus countryside. Syrian media said 8 army soldiers were injured. There is speculation that this is an Israeli response to the launch of rockets from the Syrian side toward the Golan Heights earlier in the day and week.
Blinken Urges Hamas to Take ‘Extraordinarily Generous’ Ceasefire Deal. Israel gave Hamas “one last chance” to reach a deal and suspend the Rafah operation. Israel’s proposal would accept release of less than 40 of the roughly 130 hostages believed still held in exchange for freeing ‘Palestinians’ jailed in Israel, and a second phase of a “period of sustained calm” – Israel’s compromise response to a Hamas permanent ceasefire demand. Israel reduces number of hostages that would be released in Hamas deal to 33. Israel’s believes some of the 40 may have died in captivity.
US-led Gaza humanitarian aid pier comes under fire. From Daymond Duck: U.S. troops working on the pier came under attack…. While UN officials were touring the pier to observe construction, Gaza terrorists fired rockets at them, and the Israeli army rescued them. The fact that Israel has to protect U.S. troops and UN officials while the U.S. and UN are trying to get humanitarian aid to ‘Palestinians’ is incredible. It reveals that a big part of the aid problem is Hamas, not Israel.
Hezbollah has destroyed South Lebanon. Since the brutal October 7 attack in Israel, Iran-backed Hezbollah has launched thousands of missiles and rockets at Israel, and Israel has responded proportionately. Israel will re-occupy southern Lebanon if Hezbollah doesn’t retreat.
COMING CASHLESS SOCIETY
Over 98% of world’s central banks gearing up for programmable, trackable digital cash; 24 nations will have ‘live CBDCs’ by 2030.
CBDCs: “Financial inclusion” means inclusion of all transactions, not people. To try to make central bank digital currencies sound benign, proponents repeatedly say “financial inclusion.” They’re trying to convince us the world needs CBDCs so those who are “unbanked” can participate in the digital economy without requiring a bank account.
COMING GLOBAL GOVERNMENT
UN 2.0 Coming This Fall – Setting the Stage for Global Government. The UN will meet in September for the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, as well as the highly-anticipated “Summit of the Future” where nations will sign the so-called “Pact for the Future.” The Pact is expected to call for declaring a “planetary emergency.”
THE TWO-STATE DELUSION
EU foreign policy chief says some member states may recognize Palestinian state by end of May.
CONCLUSION
