Thank you
13 All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. 14 Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a country they can call their own. 15 If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. 16 But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
If any of you have read the Book of Revelations and have any understanding of it, you should know that this is exactly where we should be at this time. As far as wrath goes, think Rapture and think it soon. Maranatha
Once Ariel Sharon passes, Judgement begins, pray!
Thanks.
Amen.
Agreed. Things will be getting quite 'interesting' now.
He says “Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest”. The Lord probably has had a lot of requests tonight. Our hearts remain stay happy for we still have our salvation, which no one can take away from us!
Although we try to build the best earthly city we can we know that it isn't our everlasting one.
Thank you for this beautiful post. My heart is broken. We have once again made a bad choice. God knew what would happen. I wish I had been better prepared for the outcome. I had so hoped for this heaviness to be lifted from my heart. I will need to seek God more and more to have it lifted. My hope must be in Him and not in government. It just grieves me that we chose the wide path instead of the narrow. How sad for America and for Israel.
There is no “Rapture”!
There is Tribulation and there is the Second Coming of Christ.
I've been reading these threads for years...I have yet to see someone write that they are exempt from trials and tribulations...Wouldn't be making that up, would you???
Of course there is...And if you are a Christian, you won't be able to hold onto enough relics to weight you down, you're goin' up...
Rapture is an invention of the 1800’s and is a complete fraud.
Your Bible doctrine is lacking but then it doesn’t really matter what you believe His Word will be fulfilled.
Just remember that Nations and Empires comes and go, but God and his people are forever. America was not and is not the last best hope for mankind, Jesus Christ is.
My Bible doctine is fine.
Yours was invented in the 1800’s.
Perhaps you can site specific documentation of discussion of the “Rapture”, prior to 1800?
You don’t “argue with people like me”, because you have no factual references for your position.
Instead, you misrepresent events from the first century A.D. and project them in to some fantasy that denies the Second Coming of Christ, by injecting some non-Biblical “rapture”, into the equation.
The whole “caught up” nonsense, has the elite joining Christ, before the actual Second Coming ever occurs.
