Having no high sign at this point and having no definitive date, I focus on the glory of the Rapture itself! TR Plus the fact they are pushing the digital currency for THIS fall to control and monitor who spends for what and if we aren’t accepting their godless agenda … they will cut off our buying and selling .. sure sounds like the AC system to me. So just another sign the church I think hast to leave prior to this in place. And … I just learned a decent pizzeria is opening up soon in my area. I have waited 23 years for this to happen. B-) Knowing I only have to drive 15 minutes one way vs. 45 minutes one way … to me this is a sign “the end is near”! :whistle: Don’t get me wrong though even though I’m on Cloud 9 about finally decent pizza in the area … I rather be on the rapture clouds instead. See ya soon! :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: Enjoy the pizza! I am right there with you Geri, a good pizzeria is hard to find! Its all in using good cheese and also in the the crust! Down in the south where I live some of them think they can use biscuit dough to make a crust with a little ketchup and cheese on the top and call it a decent pizza - blasphemy! I hope you get to enjoy a few slices before we go up and if we do get a high sign make sure to order some takeout and bring enough for all of us to share on the way up! Seriously though, living in the USA I have never heard reports of potential food shortages like I am hearing for this fall. We all know that the Russia/Ukraine thing is going to affect wheat which we will start seeing this fall, we all know that high fertilizer prices are affecting everything and causing lower production of everything else farmed everywhere else and I just heard a report that for the first time in recorded history the June rains have not fallen on Japan decimating the rice crop there - this duck is quacking an awful lot like the setup to the rider on the black horse. There are so many other reports that I am hearing about possible war here in the homeland by fall or no elections in November and I don’t repost them because they could be rumors or chatter, but then again would either of these surprise anyone? The lockdowns, forced closing of churches, vax mandates, high energy prices and food shortages would have been unheard of just a few years back and yet here they are. This really makes me think the tribulation shadow is not long and unclear, but getting closer where you can see the exact form of it clearly coming into clear view and is closer than ever before and the next 7 year Shmitta packet could just be it. And if anything makes any sense any more it will be it. Of course holding on to my Blessed Hope that we are not appointed unto wrath makes me conclude that we are outta here before the end of September or hopefully sooner - it is soooooooo CLOSE! But Geri if we even get a one day warning, I’m serious you had better not forget to bring me a GOOD slice of pizza on the way up! Lol So not to dampen this string and I will state first hand that I truly believe we will exit out of here this year as related to most of what TR reiterated in his opening of this string but, as to the evil among us … yes it can get a lot worse before it gets better for us who watch, although the Bride is not subject to God’s wrath, we are still on earth and still have the possibility to see what our brothers and sister since the time of the resurrection have endured ….. Example 1: evil ran unchecked in the name of the church: “It is a reasonable calculation that in the two centuries from the first crusade to the fall of Acre (1291) there had perished, in the attempts to recover and hold the Holy Land, nine millions of human beings, at least half of them Christians. Misery and chronic pestilence had slain most; but the mere carnage had been stupendous.” John M. Robertson, A Short History of Christianity (1902) https://apholt.com/2019/01/30/death-estimates-for-the-crusades/ Example 2: they tried the pandemic before —— The medieval Black Death (c. 1347-1351) [bubonic plague] was one of the most devastating epidemics in human history. It killed tens of millions of Europeans, and recent analyses have shown that the disease targeted elderly adults and individuals who had been previously exposed to physiological stressors. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4013036/ Example 3: War and famine The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I was about 40 million https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/World_War_I_casualties An estimated 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 people died during World War II. https://www.britannica.com/question/How-many-people-died-during-World-War-II For this entry we have assembled a new global dataset on famines from the 1860s until 2016. We estimate that in total 128 Million people died in famines over this period. https://ourworldindata.org/famines Example 4: Christian Martyrs have been a growing evil since the time of Christ’s death - the 2nd and 3rd century and on through the reformation until even today in China, Middle East, and now Europe (again) I would encourage you to visit the voice of the Martyrs https://www.persecution.com/ We may or may not see more of the same, but evil is growing in boldness, but GOD — nothing occurs that He is not aware of or allows for His Glory - GOD almighty is STILL on the throne and still fully in charge. I pray we see our loving Father soon :prayer-hands: For educational and fair use
