Just had the hardest, frankest and most emotionally packed discussion with family! Current events, spiritual truth and the gospel presented in full. It was raw, as one would expect it to be with family members. The rest is up to the Holy Spirit! Given what little time left, I have been preaching with great boldness! Also preaching upon the shortness of time it'self! Praying God be glorified, regardless of outcome! TR Father, you have promised that your word will not go out void, bless this brothers heart for planting the seeds again among his family, may the seeds of his love for you produce fruit for your harvest in the name of our Yeshua (our salvation). :prayer-hands: Love the prayer! TR I’m so sorry you’re going through this ordeal, T.R. I will be keeping your family in prayer. One of my older brothers is no longer a pre-tribber but a post tribber and he emails me last week to announce his youngest daughter is pregnant. All I could think of was “good grief who would want to bring up a child in this current world condition”. I kept the peace by saying congratulations and didn’t mention anything about the rapture is at the doors because they just don’t want to hear it. There even was a split in Jesus's own fleshly family! But this also was prophesied as a hallmark of the end. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers and empathy! Love you all! Sometimes we end up being closer to spiritual family. TR Amen! Prayers for the seeds if Salvation to bear fruit for your family, the time is ripe! :prayer-hands: Indeed, He is the vine and we are the branches. Still thinking that the 80 yr generation is in effect! So then when Israel reaches 73 yrs as a born again nation is when we will be Raptured! IMHO. TR TR: As I have shared before, I also have these difficulties with my friends, family, and neighbors. They would rather that I just keep quiet and go somewhere else. Although I am surrounded by many people in my household and neighborhood, I have become more of a loner these days. The dog and I get along just fine and she also believes that she will be rising in the Rapture with me. :good: Anyway, regarding the 73 year timeframe (I am assuming you have taken the 80 year generation and subtracted the 7 year tribulation period), this brings us to 2020. On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling for Palestine to be partitioned between Arabs and Jews, allowing for the formation of the Jewish state of Israel. Thus, there is the possibility that there could be a gap between the Rapture and November -- thus, I still believe in the near, soon, imminent, impending, approaching, looming, forthcoming, any time, any moment Rapture. We have to have hope because so many of us are stricken with financial, physical, emotional, or psychological maladies that 2021 is just too far away. Did I mention that I'm ready to go? Take care friends, Humbly Sometimes, you have to hit rock bottom before you accept the forgiveness, mercy and love offered by Jesus. The Tribulation will do that for hundreds of millions, if not billions of people. I don't wish anyone to go into the Tribulation but it doesn't when or how people get saved. Just that they get saved. Praying that the seeds planted will be watered and God will give the increase! Amen, now and forever! TR
