It’s funny that even on this so-called “Conservative Christian” website you have huge numbers of naysayers try to explain to you what is really going on. They think it’s “normal” and “natural”.
Sure it is! Consider the fact that not one person who’s ever lived and died, actually died of a “natural death”. Death isn’t natural, but it is they say...
When we’re gone, the Spiritual Warfare will be literally revealed to them. Supernatural, doesn’t even begin to describe what I believe awaits the left-behind folks.
So very true Roman.
I am listening to the Gospel of John on my IPhone on the way to work.
Today I listened to Chapter 7, which about Jesus going to the festival, which was Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles). I picked the Gospel of John at random to listen to. I found it an interesting coincidence that Tabernacles started yesterday and ends next Wed.
It is interesting to me that His brothers told Jesus to go to the festival, so that He could gain in His fame. Jesus said He would not go, but then later went in secret.
It was during the festival that Christ made one of His most impassioned pleas:
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink! 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."
May we all hang in there, even during the troubles of this life. And may we be filled with hope, knowing that our Redeemer longs to be with us, and to take us home.
