I am now willing to say, I'm feeling it! Though unable to give a specific date, I can see a short time frame before us! Indeed later than it's ever been!!! TR Can't wait to release all my emotional energies, isolate myself in my prayer closet while expecting never to leave it!!! TR It is akin to being on a death watch for a beloved family member, but rather for ourselves! Death for this life, while new life awaits! TR Something is definitely in the air... Hopefully us! As like in a death watch, we know the end is inevitable. We simply wait for that hour! Rather than grief, joy untold awaits! TR Interesting. Like TR, I am unwilling and unable to set a date. I have also thought in previous times that we could be leaving at any time. Something about this feels different, doesn't it? I've been thinking that either the Lord is coming very quickly for us, or else we won't be continuing in this life much longer. I just can't imagine things going on the way they have been indefinitely; something's got to break and soon. Admittedly, that is a "feeling," and I am not one to rely upon emotions. There have been too many times I have been proven wrong by trusting how I felt. Still, I find myself asking, "How much more assurance do you need?" God is not playing games here. There are so many convinced our time is nearly up that it does not seem plausible there isn't something behind it all. If we're mistaken, I will continue to watch faithfully until it happens. I know I am not alone in this. Might all of this turn out to be just another cycle, with people reverting to traditional morals and the earth settling down? That seems unlikely, as so much of what we're witnessing appears irreversible. Chaos is spreading; order is breaking down. Does anyone think we have another 100 years of this ahead? Fifty years? How about months? If we aren't raptured, we'll be with the Lord before long anyway. Well said brother! Preach it! Indeed, keep me from being presumptuous in any declaration! But rather sound the watchmens alarm! All to His glory, not mine! Seems to me that many glory in revelations! I shall glory in He who brings revelation! TR TR - I agree on sounding the watchman's alarm. Yes, I’m feeling it too :bye: What is different this time in feeling the rapture is at the doors? Our once beloved free country is now on the brink of total free fall collapse … thanks to all those politicians who betrayed us. With their sinister motto “build back better” 4th Industrial Revolution of more robots :dieu: walking around than humans … with more robots :dieu: walking around than animals. Their pathetic new world order dream … as they give the Lord their middle finger :negative: because they love their sin and depravity and despise God’s laws. The world hates us Christians and the message of hope and the Gospel … so God is going to give them their wish for 7 short years “unless the days be shorten … no flesh will survive”. We are in the end zone now … for them to be tried and tested and hopefully many will come to their senses. Meanwhile the Philadelphia Church is not subject to this trial … get ready for take off … :whistle: Revelation 3 7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, 😉 and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: 😉 and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. I just have to shake my head when I look at what is going on in the world. I can't believe what has happened to the US - and how relatively quickly it has happened. Its like we just rounded the corner and the bridge is washed out ahead, but we're going so fast that there's no way to stop before going over the edge. To have a country in turmoil and our leaders on "vacation" sends a dangerous message. I always have felt that there would be a great revival before the end, one more chance before the "door to the ark" slams shut. With the evil that has set up camp in this country I don't see how that's possible - although with Christ all things are possible - but seeing the events last week right here in my own City - with Antifa attacking Christians while the police just stood there and did nothing - is a harbinger of what is to come. And then when I see where New Zealand today, after only 1 case of the Vid, shuts the whole country down - I wonder what is next for us. But I sit here thinking about all of this and instead of letting myself sink into depression I find myself jumping with joy and excited because the time is coming when we all get to go home. To be able to be physically present with Jesus, to feel the peace and love that is beyond our understanding, and to know that the worst is over. Forever. So like TR, David, Geri and the rest of us - I feel it more strongly today than yesterday. Is it soon? Only the Father knows. But standing on Jeremiah 29:11 -- I know that what is ahead is good.
