  • For those on the fence with regards to the Rapture,  It seems as if God is trying to convince people that remaining here on Earth as opposed to being in Heaven is not a desirable option.

Many Christian's already ambivalent to experiencing glory other than post death, are having their hearts revealed.

Fear and unbelief are now on display, while non-believers continue growing in animosity against God!

Again, why would someone professing to love God not desire to be in His presence and grace the threshold of Heaven?!

Huge dissconnect here!  Totally beyond me.

I agree ... there are a lot of  Lots and Mrs. Lots in our Christian circles.  Their  eyes seemed to be focused on the temporal things this life has to offer and holding on to them for dear life and not laying up eternal treasures in heaven. They will regret not striving for some of the crowns.  I wonder how Lot felt on his death bed - did he have regrets and say I lived a wasted life?

Indeed Lot and his family are a good representation of Christian's in general!

Otherwise stated, there's not too many Abraham's in the church!

I would second that, everything on earth seems so much less bright, thinking about seeing the beautiful, shinny face of our Savior and that emerald bow over the throne of God, just wow! ....what no eye has seen ....

Psalm 73:25 “Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.” :prayer-hands:

Indeed the allure of earthly things diminishes and pales when compared to the light of God and the eternal glories of Heaven!

Here we need but to die once in the flesh.  And if we die to ourselves and make Him our first love now, He will be our last love eternally!

For death and separation from God will be no more, ever!

It certainly seems to be crunch time!

Again, the sins of men are being revealed, evil continues to manifest itself.  There is a seeming separation between sheep and goats!

It's God vs Satan with a final showdown.

Things are not looking o.k. at the corral!

Lines are being drawn by both God and Satan!  Who will you bend your knee for?!

Clearly a time for choosing, as neither God nor Satan will accommodate fence sitters!
