The signs of the End seem to be all around us: greed, violence, outright rejection of the Truth and reason, hatred of the Jewish people and Israel, transgender madness, homosexual perversion celebrated - even to indoctrinate small children (Drag Queen Story Hour in libraries and classrooms), Social Credit Scores in China that are soon coming to the west, “Red Flag Law” insanity that will allow anonymous people to report you to the State and take away your rights in an instant, mass big tech surveillance recording our every move and thought, growing apostasy in the church, the end of cash worldwide and a new blockchain (possibly Facebook’s “Libra”) becoming a global currency, Pope Francis’ efforts to form an apostate global “religion”, the slaughter and sacrifice of innocent children on a scale that eclipses the Holocaust, and so much more.
How much longer will God delay the Rapture? I pray for our country every day. And every day, the news seems darker. People don’t want to listen to the hope in Christ, because they think they are secure. They have food, houses, cars, jobs, 401Ks, stocks, money, vacations, pensions, possessions —- many don’t even consider their need for God. I believe the coming Tribulation is the ONLY thing that will break many hard hearts.
Or is God testing us to see how faithful we are?
Well said Bro!
I’ve been seeing the writing on the wall for some time now.
Others longer and even others are just starting to wake up.
The next month especially with regards to Israel is going to be quite interesting.
Did Moshe Feiglin drop out of the race because he was promised some position or moves by a potential Netanyahu gov’t with regards to a new temple?
He delays for the same reason He always has. In His great mercy He waits for the fullness of the harvest to be brought in.
Thanks for the ping - I’ll have to spend more time on this tomorrow
The Rapture concept misreads Thessalonians - Paul wrote to the Thessalonian Christians because they were worried about those who died before Christ’s return. They were worried that dead Christ-believers before 69 AD had lost out on the chance of physical resurrection.
Paul assures them that it was not so and says that “the dead in Christ will rise first” to meet Christ.
Rapturos make a point of “we will meet the Lord in the air” foregetting that Paul uses the word “aer” - the Greek word for atmosphere and that Christ returns TO EARTH.
The Rap people try to talk about “Jesus coming on the clouds” forgetting that this is a symbol like in the book of Apocalypse 19:11 that Jesus will be seated upon a symbol.
The Coming on clouds is the symbolism from Daniel 7 about the Divine.
Furthermore parousia, epiphaneia and apokalupsis are used in the Bible interchangeably
Furthermore the very verse from Paul talks of “eternity beginning immediately after “and so we shall always be with the Lord” - so no 7 year Tribulation.
This was all there in 69 AD - and this was all there during the Holocaust - and this was all there during the Muslim sacking of Constantinople etc. etc.
