It's now 23rd of April in Australia. 🙁 Which also makes me wonder - is it possible that the Rapture won't happen on any significant date because it's an absolutely global event and unlikely to happen on the same calendar date worldwide? It was different when significant things happened on significant dates in Israel because they were local events. :scratch: Good point, Wendy. I have always assumed the rapture would happen centered around Israel but I do not know that to be true. Just seems like it would be since they are God's chosen. Not that it matters but I always watch for what time it is in Israel. I know that they are 7 hours ahead of me on EST on the east side of the US. Like you said, it will be different times and even days in other parts of the world. I like this weekend for the end of Passover and the orthodox Resurrection Sunday but also watching second Passover May 14/15, Ascension Day May 26, Pentecost June 5th and every day in between!! :flyup: Because of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac, God chose his descendants and created the nation Israel by which to reveal Himself to mankind! He made them a peculiar people and nation! They share much history together! God put His unique stamp of ownership upon them, calling them His chosen people! They highlight and embody one of my greatest misconceptions! That being chosen by God, they and we would more than anybody take on and exhibit the nature of God! But alas, that is not always the case! For even as His chosen, they and we still love sin, with few being able or willing to reflect and emulate His heart! Truly, we all still remain as broken vessels! Personal growth and the heart to improve ourselves is not a given! That is to say, our unrighteousness remains! He alone was and is perfect! TR And yet He still loves us in our pathetic state. Thankfully, He sees us through the filter of Jesus and His righteousness. Thank You Lord!
