The Rapture is upon us, according to TikTokers, some of whom have latched on to a prediction that on Tuesday, Sept. 23 — today — Jesus Christ will return to Earth and take true believers to Heaven.

My Left Behind itches...
Clapping!
Nicely done.
It’s a two-day holiday, even in Israel, where it will end a little after 12 noon tomorrow (Wednesday) US EDT.
Then will come explanations of other, ‘real’ calendars, ad infinitum.
>> We should stop sign watching and be ready ALL THE TIME.

The end times and prophecies about them are quite interesting to discuss and meditate upon. And the Lord inspired the writing down of the prophecies and mysteries because he wants us to discuss and meditate upon them! But how the Day of the Lord might go down, exactly, doesn’t change how I should be thinking and what I should be doing today, and every day.
Some day I will be with the Lord.
It may come because my body gives out.
It may come because His enemies desire my death.
It may come because I suffer a fatal injury.
It may come because my work is done and He wants me home.
It may come because He is in the clouds, with all His angels with him, and the whole world seeing Him.
“I am content! Lord, set me ever free,
and wake me from the dead
that I may rise forevermore to be
with you, my living head.
The chains that hold my body, sever;
then shall my soul rejoice forever.
I am content! I am content!”
Advice - Read the Bible!
>> Anyway, I’m glad some of your are still here.
I just came back for a minute — forgot my phone! Bye.
It’s funny how preterists will, nevertheless, disclaim dispensationalism as invalid while defining dispensationalism as their entire theology.
If not even the Son knows, then ain’t nobody knows.
I wish the global warmageddon doomsday cult Dims would stop making their predictions. When they do it, they use government power to enforce their cult onto the rest of us.
Honest question for rapture believers: Do you have to believe in the rapture to be raptured?
Bkmk
Utter nonsense! Every sane person knows it will happen on September 24. Tomorrow. Any fool who believes it will happen today is a lousy heretic!
But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.Matt.24:36.
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.1 Thessalonians 5:1-6.
We don't know the day or the hour but we SHOULD know the times and the seasons.
Circumstances and the Holy Spirit tell us the time for his appearing to the church is very soon, in which he will catch us up to be with him (1 Thess. 4:17)(AKA "the rapture").
I personally believe he will come before this century is done. If you haven't yet received Christ receive him now. You'll have a ticket out of the unimaginable horror that will come on the earth immediately after Jesus takes up the Church to Heaven and you'll have eternal life.
I read somewhere that The Feast of Trumpets has historically been called the feast no one knows the day or hour. Could be the 23rd of 24th. Tomorrow one hundred Israeli priests will be blowing the shofar for the first time in history - so keep your rapture shoes on. Grin
My neighbor is obsessed with Rapture...youtube has convinced her, if the big adios doesn't happen this week...she's out.
I told her to keep her faith...but turn off these shysters and watch cat videos instead.
...then, live life
...and when it's your time, it's your time.
Good advice.
