I agree 2ndcoming! Won't it be glorious! A glorious departure fit for a Bride! And then being in the presence of our Creator God, Then to gaze upon all the glories of Heaven and of God himself! The greatest story ever told, the redemption story. Although based in a reality more real than we have yet experienced, it also is the greatest fantasy ever conceived as well! And if that were not enough, it is all based on a God who loves!!! And His love is stronger than all else, even death itself. And longer than time! Time will blush at how inadequate it is, and death will run from His presence and ours. Our love of God will never compare or outshine His love for us! This makes my heart quiver and urges me to apologize for the inability of mine heart! TR “It won’t take a rocket scientist to find out the day for 2nd advent”. I disagree because most of the unsaved won’t even be looking for Jesus at the 2nd Coming. They will be in shock. Only the 1/3 Jews who were obedient and fled to Petra will be. However, they wont have time to pack up their bags and bring a 3 1/2 year calendar with them to mark off the days remaining. Perhaps they will have a watch that shows the date but will the battery eventually conk out? The sun, moon and stars will not shine forth ... so how will they know when its truly day time vs. night time? Also time speed will be in full force ... we are already seeing that phenomenal event happening right now with the seconds speeding up per minute making the days/months pass quickly. Even the unsaved are noticing it but don’t know the why. Last week I had a chatty nurse telling me her personal life while preparing me for my colonoscopy exam. She went on and on about each child and who got married and who now has a newborn and who is getting married this summer and what projects she is working on in her house. She then out of the blue that said she doesn’t have time to finished any of her hobbies and still hasn’t seen her grandson yet and they live in Albany, NY and then said ... is time speeding up or what?! :mdrmdr: I said YES it is! Good article and replies everyone. :yes: I'm still of the same opinion of Jack Kelly, in that the Rapture is not a date specific event, but rather a number specific event. "until the full number of Gentiles comes in". Romans 11:25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, That being said, that last guy/gal coming to Christ could happen on a Feast day. LOL! So, while I'm not a particular Feast watcher, my spidey senses do pick up around those days. Any day will be a glorious day for the Church. :flyup: Love in Him. :rose: Interesting to find out in the end, which it was?! TR This is a comment on Geri7's find of the conjunction of Venus and the Pleiades on Passover. Here is a quote as to the meaning of the Pleiades from Bullinger's "Witness of the Stars": "Then there is the cluster of stars known as the Pleiades. This word, which means the congregation of the judge or ruler, comes to us through the Greek Septuagint as the translation of the Hebrew כִּימָה, Chima, . . " In Revelation, Christ refers to Himself as the bright and morning star which is Venus. To me, this conjunction pictures the rapture if the Pleiades would represent the church (congregation?) and Jesus as Venus. Perhaps this is a sign in the sky indicating the nearness of the rapture?
