Posted on RITA Facebook... Who knows...? :unsure: :scratch: :flyup: :flyup: Set the YouTube Settings to Captions - English (auto-generated), and set playback speed to 1.5 to save time. And if you want or prefer, there's a text transcript below. As this pastor says early on, take it with a grain of salt, pray about it... And as Arte Johnson on Laugh-in used to say, "Velly intellestingh...!" Indeed not the transition we all have been hoping for! That said, I have spoken about possibly being taken to the very edge before being Raptured. Having referenced the children of Israel fleeing from Egypt's advancing army and caught between them and the sea! Our faith might so be tested?! We shall see what the Lord has in store! TR If this is from the Lord, so be it! At this point, one lone dreamer is not enough to convince me. Again, that's all up to the Lord! TR Again I must ask, what about the poor?! Is God telling them to liquidate their assets and invest in gold?! TR Sounds like tribulation to me! TR I saw this video yesterday. The thing that stuck out the most to me, as I listened to the video and read the transcript concurrently, was the conspicuous absence of any mention of the rapture of the Church and where that fits in to the scenario he described. It begs the question...what is this man's eschatological perspective on the timing of the harpazo? Maybe I missed it, but it was not clear to me. I would love to know the answer to that question if anyone here knows it. There was very little hope or comfort to this message. This video, along with some other recent things I have come across, have me really wondering. How bad is this going to get, Lord, before You rescue Your Bride? If we are going to have go through some protracted hellish experience here on earth, a very large part of me feels like "somebody just shoot me now." Would welcome any thoughts you have on how bad you think things are going to get for believers here in the US and around the world before the harpazo. I know there are already brothers and sisters in Christ across the planet today who are suffering unspeakable atrocities and persecution. Truly heartbreaking. (P.S.--I think I am just a spiritual wimp. My equilibrium gets thrown off in the discomfort of being without hot water for the past few days because our water heater went out on Saturday night. How pathetic is that? Who will deliver me from me, O wretched man that I am?) Watchman35, I don't want to be a "Donnie downer" but if we are still here in October I think it's going to start to get as bad as it can possibly get. God I do not believe gives horrible fear to His children that are looking for His coming for Him to snatch us up. Will things get bad? guess what they are already bad. As I posted a dream that I know was from the Holy Spirit in early 2019, it is over, read the post in dreams and visions if you want. I said then I believed we needed to prepare for how bad it could get, it is bad now, being tested for faith? faith , no fear. We are His children, He loves us. Jesus will come. If we die first, absent from the body present with the Lord. Sorry about your water heater, I truly am, I don't want anyone to suffer. I was told today I need rods and screws down my entire spine, and even if it works I will still be in pain, and a year to heal from the surgery. I'm not doing it, I'm toast till the Lord takes me or the rapture. I have faith Jesus will not give me more than I can bare. Wheat and tares , have Faith no matter what fear satan may throw your way. Have faith in God, and you His child, no matter what. Pray! :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: I think the clue of the timing of the rapture is in this passage ... If “the day of the Lord” refers to the rapture event ... then it looks like we fly away right before they announce “while they are saying peace and safety”. Its still a puzzle if the “peace and safety“ refers to the Middle East peace deal or if its safe to walk about without a mask on because the vaccine is ready? :unsure: I’m keeping a close eye on the annexation situation ... things could heat up quickly ... perhaps the scenario unfolds with all out war because of the annexation and then people will be crying out stop we want “peace”? :unsure: I Thess 5:2-3 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. Jesus never told us to be terrified. He said, John 14:1-3 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 2 Timothy 1:7 New King James Version (NKJV) my pastor likes to say, "quit you like men!" 1 Corinthians 16:13 
Hard to say at this point, but still believing the Lord will quicken our spirits with regards to the Rapture!
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
14 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
