Perhaps the youtube guy meant well with being “cautious” and not getting our hopes down … but to me I found he came across as being more of a scoffer without realizing it. Yes, they said in the 1970’s when the bar codes were placed on the items this is the antichrist beast system! I recall that … I was so little, in 3rd grade, and in the revival meetings at church Evangelist cowboy, Tom Williams, anybody remember him? He’s still alive and a pastor in a church in Indiana … preached about it. I was so excited and looking up for the rapture back then. I often would go grocery shopping with my mom and get the items she needed and place in the shopping cart while she stood in line at the deli dept or was getting the rest of the items. I was aware of the price tags back then and would help unload the shopping cart items to place on the conveyor belt and would watch in awe as the cashier would ring up each item and then would help bag the items. That year I wanted a cash register for Christmas and received one. One day I was in the kitchen sitting at the table and I took out a lot of cans from the cabinets and was pretending to be that cashier and would punch in the 29 cent 39 cent can items. I used real money for the register. My dad saw me playing and said what do you want to be when you grow up? I said without any hesitation … a cashier! He would burst out laughing and I thought what is so funny? :scratch: So I was in awe again when everything got switched over to UPC bar codes and the cashier would scan the items instead. But things are different now … we are in the 21st century and events are moving at such a fast pace speed now … I feel its wrong to say it could be many more years to wait. Last night I was watching a youtube someone posted on another forum … it was about a few rabbis were in communication with their “messiah”and they said he is going to reveal himself VERY soon. Of course, they don’t believe the Messiah is God because they are still looking for a political figure, not a spiritual one, to be their best friend and help them get their temple built. Just like their forefathers weren’t interested in the real Messiah, Jesus … they were looking for a deliver to free them from the oppression of the Romans and looking only for a better life in Israel. The Jews today will have that v8 moment shock mid trib when their political “best friend” messiah turns on them and defiles temple and 1/3 finally get saved as they quickly flee to Petra, Jordan for safety. As the riff between true believers and non believers continues to expand, I believe we are in the season where the Spirit of God is telling us to focus individually on our personal relationship with Him! His worldwide revival is already planned and in His hands, not ours! Our focus seems to be one that is more centered and personal these days, just as it should be! Just as Peter, James and John were gathered to view Christ's ascension so too we are also being gathered! And His ascension was not shared with the masses or with non believers,, but rather with an elect few! It was RSVP and a private affair! Hmm! So it will be with the Rapture! TR Geri, would you please PM me the seconds test too. Thanks! So to Geri’s point — time is speeding up or one could say collapsing / folding space. It is dimensional and researchable. I pulled from various websites that look at metaphysical data to argue about time speeding up, this validates the time speed thought …. “Time is actually speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference. However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is due to this increasing pulse rate that we feel as though time is speeding up. Why do we “feel” as though time is moving faster than it used to be? The reason is what we once perceived to be a period of 24 hours now feels like only 16 hours. Our clocks still move in seconds, minutes and hours and still click over a full day in 24 hours but due to the Earth’s increased heartbeat, we perceive it to be only two thirds as long or a perception period of merely 16 hours.” The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) monitors the slower rotation and adds “leap seconds” to the official Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) that is the gold standard in time measurement and time keeping on the planet. The addition of “leap seconds” adjusts the atomic clocks to keep the right time in sync with the speed of the Earth. Over the past few decades, Earth's rotation around its axis—which determines how long a day is—has been speeding up. This trend has been making our days shorter; in fact, in June 2022 we set a record for the shortest day over the past half-century or so. Einstein calculated that the faster we go, the slower time goes and conversely the slower we go, the faster time goes. When an object’s speed increases toward the speed of light, time moves more slowly. In a word - the rotation of the earth has slowed and we are moving faster through “time” … this is not a unknown concept - it has been discussed in science since the 1980’s —- so to Geri’s point - yes we have now lost approximately 8 hours in our normal day. It is another component of God moving to align us with eternity in my opinion :unsure:
