According to my mom, if you don’t believe ‘any day now’ literally you probably aren’t saved.
I have a couple weeks of food in my pantry (in case of illness, we live in the sticks, and bad weather preventing timely food replenishing are my excuses). My salvation is dodgy.
She’s not kidding either.
I have a cousin who literally cut down every single food producing plant in their yard and keeps NO food in their house overnight. Mom’s a teensy bit more reasonable than that. Teeny bit.
There are a LOT of Christians who have been deceived into conceeding this country to the globalists over the past 50 years with the ‘any day now’ doctrine.
Pre-trib doctrine has had my mother spend her entire adult years almost literally sitting on her front porch in a chair looking east. She very nearly convinced me to do the same. ‘It’s wonderful, the Lord is coming! You’ll never grow up, you’ll never get old, you’ll never have to worry about getting married or going to college!’. She told me those exact words when I was 10. I’m a half a century now. Good thing I disobeyed my mom. I’d be the weird old spinster living in the room of her youth waiting...and waiting...and waiting...
Tell her she should have lots of food stored, for those who are Left Behind.
Love Thy Neighbor ~ It’s the only Christian thing to do : )
I tried that tack too.
No dice.
They’ll be too persecuted or something. Never got a straight answer.
It’s her way of not dealing with ‘bad things’. Or having to plan for anything.
