The End Time Wars. God is alerting believers of the soon return of His Son through prophecies concerning world events that we are told to watch for, prophecies that will identify the season of the Lord's return. How soon the Rapture?

I hadn't thought about that Faithwon.  Israel will relying in part on American military power which might suddenly "depart" in part right before they're needed in Israel. That would make a tempting trigger for Syria/Iran to take advantage of.

And the Israeli people will panic in that  critical moment just before they are attacked with  so many of the  US troops disappearing in that critical moment and truly realize in the end they were saved by God's hand alone.  Soldiers will see comrades in arms disappear, too. They'll see the rapture in their midst as well as God's hand saving them..How great a witness both would be!  They'd have a front row seat to truth played out before their eyes.  This gives us even more incentive to pray for salvation& protection (like we need it) for our men  and women in uniform as this would also play out in all other countries for the world to see, as well.  I was wondering why our troops were going to Israel.  Wondering how that played into God's plan book.  You've just opened my eyes as to what this possibly means.

They wouldn't be the only ones disappearing as they have Christian populations there, too.  But folks will add the connection to their own people missing and the children to figure it out for themselves despite what the NWO and the AC are saying!  It will have all the left behind questioning and seeking answers.  Remembering what they've heard in the past that they had dismissed.  And enough who know truth but delayed too long to receive Christ in their hearts or even suspected truth prior will be screaming it out as well.  No wonder this moment in time will have the greatest revival the world has ever known.

Welcome Pastor Gardner to RitaN.    It's great to have a Pastor aboard.  We hope you will spend time interacting with confused seekers here and those with anxiety and depression as well as commenting to posts here.  Could you share a bit about your faith journey?  Where you've seen Jesus at work in your life and others?  Your Church affiliation?  Etc, so we can get to know you a bit. 

  Praise the Lord brothers and sisters in Christ. I love to see and read the interaction of like minded believers who have read the scriptures themselves and with the Holy Spirit's guidance understand the literal interpretation of God's Word detailing a pre-tribulation rapture of the church. Make no mistake Jesus Christ is coming back for His Bride, the saints that make up the Body of Christ. We live in exciting times that the prophets could only dream of, we are seeing the prophecies that The Holy Spirit inspired the prophets to write down, we are seeing these prophecies lining up to be fulfilled! In the future I want to show some videos of prophecies that have been fulfilled since the Jew came back into the land God had given them. These prophecies I speak of have been fulfilled since 1948 with many more yet to be fulfilled, but the stage has been set and the curtain is about to rise on the final act of the greatest story God has created and orchestrated since before the world began!

  I have been very blessed by God allowing me to serve our Lord in the prison ministry. I do Sunday morning service in The Chapel at the state prison at Roswell, New Mexico, along with being coordinator for the Crossings Prison Ministry. If you are interested in learning more about Crossings I have a Facebook page for it at;  https://www.facebook.com/Ipreach4Jesus . Also Crossings has a web page at;   http://home.comcast.net/~crossingsinc/  . I am also involved in the Kairos prison Ministry which is nation wide where as Crossings Prison Ministry is just in the state of New Mexico.

  I say I have been blessed by God to serve our Lord in the prisons because that is where I see the Holy Spirit working and convicting the lost of their sins the most right now. There is a real hunger for hope and the men in the prisons are very receptive to the Gospel, something I just do not see in the free world church in this country right now. The real conversions I have seen behind the walls of the prisons have been amazing and have brought me that unspeakable joy that 1Peter 1:8 speaks of. And as I watch these men grow in Christ I have literally seen 2Corinthians 5:17 come to life:  "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."  AMEN

 Bless you for welcoming me and I pray I can be a positive influence to our brothers & sisters in the days ahead as we watch for the imminent return of our Lord. I just want you to know I am a Christian first, and working in the prisons denominations are not even brought up. I have found that the only essential doctrine there is would be Salvation and once we have that foundation of Jesus' love we can cross all denominational boundaries without getting our hackles up and even talk about the Rapture of the Church without someone going into red faced convulsions like so many "Christians" do in the free world. I am an ordained Southern Baptist Pastor who teaches and preaches a literal interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. Be blessed in Jesus always and never forget; " And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Luke 21:28 Amen and God bless.
