“He is coming soon. Very, very, very soon.”
Paul said the same thing.
WW2 did not begin on 30 July...
Wait. I’ve traveled all over the world and I haven’t seen a more Christian nation/state/territory than Puerto Rico, my home. Yet we’ve had 20 years of tribulation so far, now capped by Hurricane María’s devastation in 2017, all the way to this year’s unending earthquakes, not counting the Covid fiasco. We’ve also had droughts, the toppling of an elected government, a massive refinery explosion, floods, a Sargasso invasion, even fireballs from space.
And the Virgin of Divine Providence is our patron saint! What did we ever do?
Hurricanes aren’t strange.
Solar and lunar eclipses aren’t strange.
Tornadoes are not strange.
All of these occur in the natural patterns in the revolution of the Earth, through natural means. They are no more caused by God than flushing the toilet and watch the water drain in a certain direction depending on whether you are in the Southern or Northern hemisphere. What would be strange is to have that which floats in the water be a color of fuscia pink instead of brown or green. Now that would be strange. For the prophecies to be true then an occurrence must be out of the ordinary, meaning that it happens so infrequently it is not of natural occurrence or it has never happened before.
Humans has continually tried to explain things through the divine and yet later find out that it has nothing to do with the divine. Hurricanes are natural occurrences, including Category 5 hurricanes. A strange Hurricane would be something like along the lines of a Category 200 for which there is no such thing and just like a category 200 hurricane there are no strange hurricanes that happen . Hurricanes are the result of the earth’s motion as spins. They happen every year and just because some are stronger than others does not mean the divine had anymore to do with it than a human pressing the handle on a toilet to flush. As they say: When it’s brown, flush it down!
That is pretty much apocryphal. Vague, unyielding and scary!
You’re a messenger from God? That’s very impressive.
Reading along I found myself in agreement with most of your points, until I came to this about the plan of the antichrist:
it “will ultimately be implemented or made to prevail, post-rapture, by the Antichrist himself”
“Post-rapture?” This gives you away: as a pretribber you aren’t a “messenger for God.” “Rapture,” yes, but “pre,” no. There is just one second coming, and it takes place “at the last day,” as per John 6 and 11. Not seven years before the last day.
Antichrist? Ushered in like he's something new? The real Christ is documented in the NT as the guy who upended the religious establishment's business as usual and its expected expectations.
Those were the folks who had everything all worked out with their expert interpretations. Each camp had their doctrines and followers, always with the other guys being the poor saps who were wrong.
No one seeing a pattern here? The Messiah was and is, not the type to be accepted by the in-crowd religious covens. The day dawns soon when the flim-flam artists will be exposed for the blatant frauds that they are.
The astronomical thing with Jupiter happens every 12 years as it travels thru virgo every 12 years or so.....and the Draconids happens every year with varying intensity. Jupiter has more than 12 moons so it couldn’t be part of the prophecy. So about 2005 some folks were speaking about the Revelation 12 sign then. Jupiter went thru Virgo again in 2017 and the same prophecy stuff was talked about then. I posted a rebnuttal....noting that the Jupiter has more than 12 moons so John must have been seeing something else.(No telescopes so John couldn’t see them)
I think the signs will be very dynamic and not hard to spot. The demons and Satan being thrown to Earth ...maybe not at first unless unmistakable signs of mass possessions or numerous instances of occultic false signs start happening.
