[[He points out that the Rapture cannot come because of a catastrophe, because if it did people would not be going about their daily lives, as described in Matthew 24:36-44.
That’s one of the things I like about him. He is able to put things together logically.
So it will come when it is totally unexpected. A way of warning us to be prepared always.
Also interesting what he says about the Baltic Dry Index.]]
I always looked at it like this
When the flood came Noah had been preaching for a long time and people went on ignoring it , they never expected it when it happened even though they were many knew that Methusalas death would bring judgement.
When Jesus came the first time most of the people were not ready even though they had a timeline for when he would come given by the prophets.
Today most of the people who say that they believe Jesus was the Messiah don’t want a relationship with him and don’t look forward to his return even though the signs are all around us that it is the time and the season.
One good sign is all the mocking.
Anyway if you enjoy JD’s prophesy update you will probably enjoy John Haller’s update I post every week too. He is very logical (I really enjoy it as I am one of those logical thinkers)

People are getting more interested lately. I was in a diner last night with two people from the neighborhood who are not believers, really, not in the sense that we are; one is Jewish and one is just sort of thinking along Christian lines and trying to be modern about it, and I mentioned something that JD talks about: that the Bible is one-third prophecy.
Suddenly it got a little quieter around our table and I knew people were listening. I just went on with what I was saying, which was really pretty interesting, not preachy at all, more like interesting things people don’t know.
Times are changing. Remember Acts 2:17.
