My son is technically a Junior by he plays D1 football at Colorado State he's one of the kickers. Life is good for the most part. Although it sounds like the University has officially gone to on line classes this fall. He's a little concerned that he wont get to play football this fall because the team may move their season to the spring.

In my heart I feel as if we are months away.

Last night the protesters came by at about 10:45 with loud speakers saying coming out white people we will kick your a**! It was weird since there were about 40 to 50 protesters and maybe "3 or 4"of them were African American the rest were white screaming this?

I live in down town Denver and its a strait zoo still.

After having Corona Virus in March and April my lungs feel like what I imagine it would feel like to have been in a bad fire or have Asthma. Constantly restricted and hard to breathe.  They feel scarred?

I personally cant imagine the carnage of a Joe Biden presidency just before the rapture but maybe that's whats needed or part of Gods plan.

My son for last 10 years has said Dad is the world going to end because he knows I study prophecy. Why is it that people that dont study prophecy just think that the world is going to blow up and that's it?

I blame the seminaries and the pastors from shying from the book of revelations and the prophets.

More and more I find myself being a recluse outside of a few spurts of anger or what were you thinking comments.

How do I stay the cool dad but yet tell me son time is near. He's heard it from me for 10 years. I the one crying wolf in his book.

I cant believe my subconscious is wrong.

Keep sharing the truth as God reveals it.  Don't teach, just share!

Let your conviction speak, not your convincing.  IMHO

I really have to hedge what I say because I know I have been wrong before.

It’s difficult to know how to advise someone on how they should speak regarding the Last Days other than to point to other examples, so I’ll use one here.

What I like most about JD Farag’s teaching is that he points out what’s going on in relation to prophecy but doesn’t ever cry “this is it”. Even with the imminent vaccine and its clear relationship to the Mark of the Beast, JD maintains a “we are near the end” without sensationalism or crying ‘wolf’.

You can explain about the purpose behind this lab made virus and that its leaning towards crashing our economy, to hurt the re-election of Trump, and when the vaccine is really ... inform him of what the vaccine contains - to harm and control the people.

I’m realizing only those who really want to know truth will listen. Sadly many (including believers) are clueless that the rapture is very near.  I seriously think they believe heaven will be a boring place - with church services 24/7.   I have saved nieces that recently got married and they don’t want to hear about the rapture.  They roll their eyes if I say Jesus is coming soon.  Their parents do the same.  They have secular jobs, do not share their faith so the demons don’t bother them.  But we, who are on the front lines of the battlefield that are sharing the Gospel to the lost, have many hardships and calamities.  But I rather be in that group ... because the Bible says “for those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution”.

If I’m talking to my saved cousin over the phone about the rapture, there will be dead silence and then she just changes the subject.  Her husband is an Assistant Pastor and his church only believes in the 2nd Coming.  My dad  had a talk with him at Christmas one year explaining what the pre-trib rapture is all about.  He said that’s very interesting ... I never heard about that and here he went to a Bible college.   The way I see it a lot of saved people will be in shock when the rapture happens.  They will still be going up with us because they have the Holy Spirit living inside of them but I think they will be upset and sad at the judgment seat of Christ when they see us get the Crown of Righteousness because we were longing and watching for Jesus to return.  If we do get to keep our crowns ... they will be reminded in eternity as they see us wearing them or have them in our heavenly home on a table or shelf ... they could of earned that crown too but ignored the warnings.
