I would also love to be able to somehow hasten the timing of the Rapture! Short of that at least speak with authoritative confidence as to when it will specifically happen! Hope is great, but hope deferred is brutal! TR I've been "hastening the timing if the rapture" since 1967 TR. That's the first time I remember hearing my grandfather preach about the rapture. All my friends, including Christian friends, think I'm crazy with all my rapture talk. My only fear in this life is about those who will be shocked to be left behind. The road is narrow - and most of the folks I've attended church with over the decades are "from the pew to the door" believers. I'm only hoping for more time for them to come to the realization of what is soon to come - and hence keeping my eyes off the "Rapture Button" that sits on my desk. There's work to do.... Last night I was watching this one twitter clip of the earthquake shaking in Melbourne, Australia and reading the comment section from the Aussies was very telling. So many scoffers out there … making fun … saying things like … did the rapture just happen, is Jesus going to appear in the clouds next and laughing … to will the water turn to blood, or perhaps the first born are all going to die, oh and they mentioned the frogs too and just mocking the Bible. I felt sorry for them because they truly don’t realize they are living on borrowed time and the sudden destruction is soon. This world is so ripe for judgement … there is no fear of God in their eyes. It’s sad. Hopefully we all here will be alive to see it! Again, hope deferred is brutal! Hope fulfilled is Heavenly! TR Wow Geri -- I can't imagine being one of those people who are mocking and being called up to the white throne realizing then what they've done. How horrifying it will be for them. But its not like we didn't know that mockers and scoffers would be coming out of the wood work. I'm just befuzzled (is that a word?) at how quickly things are happening. Its like someone pushed the fast forward button... and I'm ready to get to the end
