Four more days, hopefully!!! How appropriate should it happen on Christmas Day!!! Jesus is the reason in any season! Perhaps the Arch angel will declare "it is finished"! Just as on like the cross! TR YES! Now that’s the Christmas Spirit! Staying positive we are called to our eternal home on Sunday! Meanwhile yesterday was the shortest day of the year … and tonight I’m going to savor that extra minute longer before sundown. By Sunday it will be 4 extra minutes … does that mean it delays the might night cry trumpet call by 4 minutes? B-) LOL Geri. Well intellectually a Christmas/Hanukkah rapture makes all the sense in the world! Emotionally I'm ready! in my spirit I can only hope! Still not feeling it though! Oh bother! Hopefully the closer we get there will be a quickening! Funny, though many in the world don't honor Christ, they can't deny that Christmas is a day of reverence, indeed a holy night As many around the world sense something special and big business still closes on that day! TR I saw this posted in one of the youtubes Per Keegan Fernandes … he thinks we are in the final seconds before departure. :whistle: The most earth-shattering event in human history has yet to occur — the second coming of Jesus Christ. There are “signs” of His coming. The most specific lists are in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. These signs are: 1. False Christs. These are people who claim to be the returned Christ or some other sort of messiah and those claiming to be Christians but teach things contrary to the Bible. 2. Wars and rumors of wars. 3. Famines. 4. Pestilence (widespread disease and physical ailments). 5. Earthquakes in diverse places. By the way, Luke adds, “commotions” (a term used for civil unrest) and signs from the heavens to the things Matthew mentions. Someone can say that these “signs” have been around since the beginning of history and are correct. However, the Bible does teach that these things will increase in frequency and intensity; the closer we get to Christ’s return! Right on Time :: By Dennis Huebshman Taking all this into account, everything that is happening on earth today should be obvious that the end of this age is very near. All the negative attitudes of 2 Timothy 3 are present and getting more prevalent by the day. Earthquakes, extreme weather patterns, plagues of locusts, and viral infections are in today’s news. Wars and rumors of wars are all around the globe, and there are famines that are affecting our food supply. Lawlessness is increasing at a frightening rate, and Christians are hated by all the secular people. We have not reached the point where the lawless one will arrive, and through satanic influence, he will control the whole world. However, we are right at that doorstep according to Matthew 24, Luke 21, 2 Peter 3, and 1 John 2-5. As Jesus said in Luke 21:28, “Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” It is no question that all the signs have definitely begun. So to sum it up... 1. Psalm 83 war (April- May 2023) 2. Famine (April-May 2023) 3. Covid and Ebola lockdown (April - May 2023) 4. Abrahamic House Opening (April -May 2023) 5. CBDC'S to be ratified (April- May 2023) 6. Market crash (April-May 2023) 7. Global War (April- May 2023) - Fair Use - The advent of False Christ’s are more specifically taking place during the 7 year Tribulation. We have many false teachers on the scene today but no one is claiming to be the Christ. Mat 24:21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mat 24:22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. Mat 24:23 "Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it. Mat 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew chapter 24 is referring to the time of the seven year tribulation. His disciples were asking in 24:3 "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" At this time they knew nothing if the Church or the Church Age so Jesus is telling them things specific to the nation of Israel and of the end of the age. He mentions false prophets, which are specific to Israel, not the Church. We have teachers, not prophets. So given all of that, how much closer are we to the rapture since that event must take place prior to the Trib?! :yahoo:
