Is God holding His breath...

We used to see something prophetic happen once or twice a year.

But now everything has speeded up and if a couple of days go by without some major disaster, we think, "What's wrong?"  Actually, lots of things are going on--the coronavirus, the peace treaty, the election, etc.

:amen:  ... our generation is spoiled because we are seeing things unfold quickly like never before and even though right now it seems like action might be at a standstill ... it isn’t ... behind the scenes God is still working out the minor pieces and getting all the ducks in a row.

Meanwhile as I lurk on other forum boards/facebook  and read the comments ... I’m shell shocked that some feel melancholy that the rapture is soon approaching.  You can tell they don’t want to go.   I wonder if they would have that same feeling if they lived in a communist or muslim country where our brothers and sisters are going through horrific trials and suffering?  Here in America and other free countries we are spoiled rotten.  I saw another comment trying to pacify that person by saying “don’t worry the rapture might not be until 50 more years”.   Seriously ... looks like a scoffer mix in with the Mr. and Mrs. Lots that  love this world.  I’m one of those people that believe the changing of the body happens in a blink of the eye but the flying away process is much slower.  I can just see it ... the Mr. and Mrs Lots and Scoffers looking back at the world ... while we, who have long for Jesus, will be rejoicing as we are looking straight ahead towards our heavenly dwelling place! :yahoo:

we're going to a place that the greatest architect, greatest builder, greatest interior designer of all made for His own family

i can't wait

Well said.  Don't forget the greatest gift giver!  There is no end to the glories of God!  Sad but true, many are ambivalent towards the Rapture.  When I was younger so many I heard saying no, not in my lifetime!  And these were from Christians.

Then again, wonder what ever could be the reason for silence in Heaven?!  Why the stealth mode?  Wonder what the scriptures could be intimating?!

Be Thankful for the "CALM" before the STORM.

Rev.7:1. And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, TILL we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

As we can see, there is STORM brewing - ONCE the SEALING is COMPLETE, BAM! WW3???

NOT SEALED? Rev.9:4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but ONLY those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads.
5. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented FIVE MONTHS: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

1) March 2) April 3) May 4) June 5) July 14th . 1,150 days of Tribulation after the MARK is Issued, on July 14th 2020 ???

March 26th 2020 World Government??? - HOPE NOT!!!

Exciting, perilous and telling times we live in!  Silence in Heaven, when God is not issuing any activities or proclaiming anything to be done.  Just all quietly and patiently waiting for an exact moment in time for Him to resume His plans towards men.

Such a foreboding scene to imagine!  God not resting after His works are completed, but rather a dire mode of anticipation of an irreversible threshold being crossed over!  For once begun, an unstoppable chain of events unleashed.

It is exciting to contemplate/meditate over the wonder of our God . .  of Who He is, ever eternal ~ ~  yet for our habitation,  His 'timing' includes us  ever kept by the Triune God owning both IN and out of 'time'     ~

His Truth is so real, He knew, our God KNEW, and KNOWS so unimaginably and powerfully exactly every instance of every thing without anxiety  ~ we adore our awesome God Who is ever our King and Lord past finding out,  all the while secures our faith incomparably sure  ~

~ what a precious truth, that His Spirit does keep secured His beloved children ordained before the foundations of the world  ~~ all according to His Majestic Power ~~

and so He knew/knows from before the foundations of the world that:
There is a Book of Life.
It is the Lamb's Book of Life.
It has names written in it.
They were written in it before the foundation of the world.
Christ was foreordained to be a sacrifice before the foundation of the world
Christ ordained at the end of the ages as the sacrifice for sins.

Perhaps the Lord is reviewing that list of names and finding the greatest pleasure in so doing?!

I would imagine the activities in Heaven are very busy, much like a catering company just before a huge wedding of great significance. So much is going on here on earth and we have become so accustomed to it that unless something new and shocking transpires, we simply don't recognize it. How many shootings take place nearly daily (though I would imagine it IS daily, just not reported by the news agencies) and yet we hardly raise an eyebrow.
