Steve I guess we all feel like you deep down inside! But This year is different!!  Jerusalem is up for sale at the UN!!  That has never happened in any other Peace Summits!!  In the Oslo accords Jerusalem was to be dealt with after the Palestinians got their Statehood statis!!

This time it is all on the table with one vote from every nation!!! It has to be this way so God can judge all nations for how they vote either for dividing Israel or not!!!!

We will see after this week!!! Hang in their my friend!!

I have those anxious moments as well, Steve. Even now.

I was going to post a prayer request for myself and my own struggles. I'm self-employed and have been turning down or at least post-poning work lately... "until later in October," I've been telling clients and prospects. For one reason I have had such a hard time focusing on my work, and the other reason because I want to free up my schedule just to focus on where the Lord wants me at the moment and to be free to be availble for others.

Like most here I have been constantly asking the Lord what I should be doing with what might be these last week or so before He comes, but I haven't recieved any clear answers from Him. And here I tell others to simply be occupied with working and living until He comes, yet I don't take my own advice.

I often feel like a double-minded man. I come here to RitaN and so often find myself charged and excited and so sure of all the evidence, but then there's the other times when I doubt and feel anxious and worried that I'm not doing enough or doing what I should be doing. And then the big fear that I've been misunderstanding the Lord all along.

Such a mess His kids can be.

I think I have been sitting on the fence with my "final convictions" regarding His coming. "What's it gonna be, Dave? Do you think I am coming or not? Make up your mind?" And that affects my witness or lack-there-of for sure.

Lord, I believe.... help me with my unbelief.

I prayed for your brother.

Dave

Thanks for the prayer for my brother Dave and thanks for responding. I'm sure we both feel how little this world has to offer and want out. I KNOW he is coming as I'm sure you do, but the question is when. If another 20,000 people are saved today, then who am I to complain? Of course I want that to happen. But I feel like I've run a marathon and at the end, they said, just keep running and we'll tell you when to stop. Rough.

Appreciate it Battle_Cry. Come Lord Jesus!

How do I add tags Victory Chanter? New here. I see the space below for tags, but how do I go back to the original post and put them on? Don't see a spot for them.

Steve,

I usually scan the headlines that calvaryprophecy.com has. One of them was very discouraging, talking about how nothing is going to come out of this session, it will just be put off again. And that may be. However,  with Mubarak no longer on the scene to ease tension, we have that added into the mix as far as being different than last year. Look at what is going on in Syria and Turkey going against Israel. Look at the daily events of global disaster. What used to be major news is often not reported because so much is going on in regard to fires, droughts, earthquakes, flooding, etc. Globally, we are about to collapse financially. This year, it's a whole new level of birth pains. We have them more frequent and intense. And also, it has really struck me that recently, in the last 6 months I have heard, Greg Laurie, David Jerimiah, Creflo Dollar, Billly Grahams's daughter, John MacArthur, all talk about how very close we are to the rapture. And I heard Jimmy De YOung say, we have 3 peace treaties on the table, all we have to do is confirm one. And I forgot to add as I was looking at the headlines today, I also noticed one that talked about Israel looking at an interim solution to the peace process. That was on calavary prophecy as well.

So hang in there. It is coming and it will be much sooner, than later.

Will pray for your brother. Will also pray for you, Dave. I work from home so I know exactly how you feel.

Becka: Christ cannot tarry for many more centuries or even decades to come. 

Geesh, yeah, I cannot fathom that either. There is way too much transpiring and coming together on the planet and in the heavens. Israel, the PA and the peace treaty is just one issue. And as it's been said, things can change so quickly.

A case scenario: Palestine, Iran, or any other neighboring Israeli enemy (or a combination there of) gets tired of wating any longer and fires some serious weapons at Israel. Israel retaliates and a full scale blow-out is underway. Now usher in "the Peacemaker" who settles the peace plan. The Church doesn't have to be around to see that happening does it?

Well, I feel better now.

Then there's all the other stuff happening that makes me wonder how in Heaven can we survive much longer if the Lord delays for more years or months even.... earthquakes, volcanic activity, storms and other natural disasters increasing every day. The economies of the world on the brink of colapsing. The iniquity of man that is increasing... it's coming clearer and clearer that the "New World Order" is not just some hype speech but is on the soon-to-come agenda.

The elite talk of the need for depopulation (reserach the Georgia Guide Stones) and the desire to move forward with research into transhumanism, which basically is man's approach for immortality... for the elite of course. Underground bases, UFO and other strange sightings in the sky. Comets and meteors and dwarf stars, oh my.

And the world and sooo many Jesus beleivers remain unawares or uncaring of it all and will be so caught off guard.

HE IS COMING SOON!!!

I feel better now.

Hold tight, Steve. We're in this together.

I read that article too Steve but then a still small voice told me "don't focus on Palestine". If anything we have a war about to break out (Psalm 83 as well as Ezekiel 38-39) over this and even if there isn't a vote there is a LOT of hate towards Israel going on in the ME and they want nothing but the destruction of Israel and Palestinian state established. I believe the Church is the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2 and as soon as we're taken out of here like a thief in the night to those still on the Earth everything will go crazy down here. 

The only peace covenant to be confirmed will be from the Antichrist after we are gone!

Steve & Dave...I too have these same feelings! My health...& life in general...has been deteriorating at warpspeed! Satan has been after me HARD! I have been watching the signs my whole life...& like y'all...have had my "bubble bursts" too many times to count...especially in watching the Middle East events!

With ALL the many signs lining up around us...the one I seem to focus on the most is Planet X/The Destroyer! I'm sure this has been evident in my posts as well. My family/friends are sick to death of my talking/warning of this event! However...in MY thinking...the tribulation hinges on this event...as evidenced in prophetic scriptures.

Planet X/The Destroyer is NOW here...that much is evident! So...I don't think the "tarying" can go on much longer brothers! We should continue to hold up ALL our brothers & sisters in Christ...as Satan goes about like a lion...to steal, kill, & destroy! He's on a determined mission to bring us ALL down in spirit! We can't let him accomplish his goal! We MUST stay strong...& I say this to myself...moreso than anyone else here...DAILY!! Hang in there my brothers & sisters! The end of the race is near! I can see it in my Spirit! Hallelujah!!! ;)

Thanks for all the responses. It is so nice to talk to people who really genuinely care and I'm sure that's what heaven is--full of people who just love each other. There is no judgment, no talking behind backs, no ulterior motives, no jealousy, and nothing else negative. It is a bright spot in a dark world. Thanks.

Luk_21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads;
for your redemption draweth nigh.

He said when they "begin" to come to pass.  A lot of crazy things have begun to happen this year.

Also, we're in the 63rd year since Israel was reborn.  Only 7 years left to wrap it up.

Things do seem to go back and forth on the UN vote, but I'm still feeling really good about this year.

This my very first rapture watch and I've always been a johnny-come-lately to everything.  I think i got here just in time for something big.

Keep looking up.

Yeah, the general hatred for Israel is ramping up like everything else. Things will explode one way or another.

TMercies... interesting audio interview there with Mike Evans.

@ JesusLovesUsAll - Amen! You hit the nail on the head, for me. 

We are told to watch for the many signs Jesus listed in Matthew 24... but the time period when they would start occuring was when Israel became a nation.  Matthew 24:34 - to me, the sign with an expiration date, if we're reading it correctly.

And 1948 + 70 = 2018 -7 = 2011. 

Sure, we could possibly be wrong... but I think not.  I think we're getting ready to ascend! 

If it doesn't happen this month I'm going to have to start going back to the gym because I've been planted in front of my computer the last 3 months getting fatter :)

I hate the gym.  Come Lord Jesus!  I need a leaner meaner spiritual body :)

Steve, I will pray a heartfelt prayer for your brother Bob.

Your story reminded me so much of my own.  My older brother David has been seemingly under a satanic attack his entire life.  I've never known anyone who has had to struggle so much through each and every day!  Like your family, our family had to endure, with pain and panic, a recent suicide threat (last weekend).  Like your family, our family was thankful that my brother made it through yet another crisis.  My brother is nearly 47, and at this point, all I ask God for is to keep him safe, and to provide him peace.  He is saved, but he just has to fight through every day of his life.  I will pray for your brother's safety, and for peace in his life, and for peace for your family.

On to the rest...I have moments where I wonder about the timing.  I do still feel very strongly that rapture may literally be only days away.  Every time I start to fall a little, it seems God lifts my heart back up, and He reminds of a dream I had not long ago.  I'll start a new thread in the forum about that dream.

Chin up!

Steve,

We choose to ignore the 80 year part of the verse.  It's just not convenient with our plans :)

Seriously though, the world is full of sin these days.  The Lord gives us strength.  I would think that since there is so much sin in the world, we are not at full strength.  That's what I'm hoping anyway.

I like it when He said look up.  For I feel while looking up, there will be something for us to see perhaps.  Jesus didn't waste words.  Oh, how exciting these times!  For hundreds of years, believers the world over would have wanted to see this and be alive for it.  Lord Jesus, I just love you!  I long to be in your presence forever, aware constantly of your love.  Heavenly Father, thank you.....just....thank you.
