With the extreme craziness of just these last two days and this past week of weather, and the upside down political climate and the increased evil. We have had no less than two large shooting events over the weekend in my small corner of the world. The heat index is at 99 in May, totally odd for us. I am so very ready to hear that Shofar blow. :prayer-hands: Yes, totally chaotic with the weather pattern ... while you are dealing with scorching temps ... Vermont had nice mid 70’s temps Friday - Monday and then yesterday bam ... it suddenly dropped down to 46 degrees. My hummingbirds stayed in their nests all day and my dog was showing me his chattering front teeth so I put a warm blanket over him. Today climbed up to 61 degrees ... still cold but in the right direction. But I really can’t complain ... after seeing the Midwestern states getting hammered with tornado after tornado. So sad to see all the destruction and loss of life. I didn’t hear about the shooting events in your area ... how sad and shocking that must have been so close to home. Everything in this world is indeed going nuts. I’m so ready to hear that blessed trumpet blast too! Certainly as near as it is, I expect more attacks personally and more unrest globally! Funny I still get good fortune cookie exclamations! Go figure? Seriously though, I believe that Pentecost ranks pretty high this year. Famous last words: It can't be much longer! Truthfully I can say that I am no more desperate than before, but am even more ready! If there were words that could be spoken which would tilt the Lord's heart in favor of an immediate Rapture, I would speak them with every fiber of my being. And then borrow some of yours! Till then... continue in Faith, Hope and LOVE! Love and blessings...Tender Reed TR, maybe from the Father, maybe from all the knowledge you have stored in your mind. While we sleep, the brain clears and focuses. God obviously helped you understand something of His plan. I have this odd unrest in my spirit today, I keep thinking “this is not my home”. I need to go home. The Father needs to say to the Son, Go snatch your Bride. In my scientific, logical brain, it does make sense the church was given the Comforter to grow the church and birthed the time of the gentiles, so it stands to reason to end the church age with the removal of the Spirit and the church on the same day. I pray it is soon, feels like total crazyville— it’s hard to even think of making future plans, they feel so empty. Anyone else feeling this, plus the excitement in spirit of “its time to go”? :prayer-hands: :feedback Ascension Day. 10 Days till Pentecost. As of 30th of May 2019. Are we still here?!! Bummer! A little more time to enjoy each other. God graciously forestalls that we may grow in our love for Him, and each other. Thought just struck me. Know how we have been saying that we are waiting on the last soul to accept Christ. Perhaps God is still building mansions and perfecting surprises for us in Heaven! He just wants everything in Heaven to be perfect for each of us! What a God! Last night and this morning my thoughts have lingered on the movie, Heaven is for real. Thinking of all that have already had glimpses into Heavenly life and for all that are already there and also anxiously await our arrival! God is good, God is thorough, God is complete! TR 9 Days till Pentecost. As of 31st of May 2019. Thoughts on this? I watched this yesterday and am still "chewing" on it. I want to research more in the next few days to be a Berean. I am not familiar with Jack Langford, so I am not sure about him as a trusted authority. Feedback please! Being skilled in the Word of God means to know when and what scripture to apply to any given situation in our lives. And this is where the leading of the Holy Spirit often will benefit us greatly. I have had one scripture rolling around in my spirit for a couple of days now. And the scripture is: "Lean not upon your own understanding, and trust in the Lord"! Seems to me that this verse takes the sting out of not being able to rightly discern the day or the hour of our redemption. We will all continue to study to show ourselves approved, as seeking out knowledge and the wisdom of the Lord is certainly encouraged. And it is our glory to uncover the hidden things of the Lord! But when we fall short, we are asked to trust. TR Heather, I’m not that familiar with Jack Langford. Just finished watching the youtube ... it has a lot of interesting info in it. I’m going to have to view it again because I’m a little confused ... Jack said Pentecost is a type/symbol and foreshadowing of the entire church age that ends with the rapture event but then he talks about imminence when the last Gentile gets saved - so doesn’t that contradict that it can happen at any day then and not directly on the actual Pentecost day? Then Jack says #50 means fullness/completion .. and its 50 days after Passover but then he says it might not happen on the actual day of Pentecost because 50 is not symbolic of 50 ... 50 is symbolic of God’s completion plan. The rapture could happen on Pentecost or it might not since Pentecost doesn’t have a date assigned to it because it depends on the wave sheaf offering from when Passover occurred. :wacko: Then Gary brought up the fact that the very religious Jews stay up all night on Pentecost because they were told something wonderful is going to happen ... they don’t realize it already occurred when the Holy Spirit came upon the early church. I was thinking how ironic though with them staying up all night waiting and if the rapture does occur on Pentecost and the church disappears ... what must they think? Personally I think God has a set date and time and its a matter of trying to crack the code. For years I was only looking at Feast of Trumpets because it was the next feast on the list for fulfillment and when that came and went I thought to myself ok we have another year before the rapture can happen. Then it was J.R. Church and Gary Stearman that brought up the Pentecost rapture theory on their old program ... so then I was looking at both Pentecost and Feast of Trumpets each year. Now I’m pretty much looking at every high watch date. :popcorn
