Polly, my sister in Christ, I mourn with you, and also grapple to find the “why” in the denial of our heartfelt prayers for mercy on our sinful nation. Around one A.M. when I finally fell into bed, I began to consider The Rapture. Israel will now need to pre-emptively defend itself alone, without the gov’t of the country we live in (formerly known as America)supporting Israel, but still the place where so many of us love Israel and her people and will always support her. I see a big Biblical picture now. This is God’s will, to bring about the end and The Rapture. I gladly await it.
“Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me. And that Thou bidst me come to Thee. O Lamb of God I come, I come.”
This I sang through tears last night in bed repeatedly until I could only cry for my lost country. Our heavenly home waits for us, our places prepared by our Lord Jesus whom I trust without any question.

It was well into the night hours before I finally fell asleep.
I begged God to just hold me in His powerful Arms and take away all the thoughts that were whirling through my mind.
You are absolutely right on. We are facing the Rapture and should be rejoicing.
I too cried in the night for Israel.She will need to forge ahead without our aid.
It may very well be that we will suffer much before our Lord's return.
I could not stop singing this hymn this morning.
O safe to the Rock that is higher than I,
My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly;
Alone I would perish, undone would I be;
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.
Refrain: Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee,
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.
In the calm of the noontide, in sorrow’s lone hour,
In times when temptation casts o’er me its pow’r;
In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea,
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.
How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe,
I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe;
How often, when trials like sea billows roll,
Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul.
