Their “active lobbying” is without effect.
Nothing will nor should change Yehova’s plan.
As for any saints having left the Earth, the word says “at the last trump” and “After the tribulation of those days,” so let’s not get ahead of Yehova. The “First Resurrection” will definitely be at Yom Teruah, not before.
Those that have not studied the feasts in depth are simply not equipped to understand any prophecy of any kind. They describe a perfect time table for all of the events from the rededication of the altar onward.
So what?
Being all-star night, perhaps you could tell us what your prayer "batting average" is?
Or mine for that matter...How many prayer petitions have you & I collectively uttered to God, where He's effectively responded: "Sorry. Rejected. Fruitless prayer. I'm going to stick to MY plan because it's perfect." (????)
Ineffectual petitions doesn't mean God squashes them, right?
