Heather R Streamed live 13 hours ago “Fair Use For Education and Discussion Purposes” Loz :] VERY interesting! Thanks for sharing this, Loz. Certainly seems more clearer on the timing of Damascus fate is tied in with those other cities in Revelation 16:17-20 ... wow! And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. ———— Even though Heather says there are no signs for us to look for before the rapture ... I’m just wondering though if we need to be looking at the peace treaty or could it be the timing of when the vaccine is ready that gives a false sense of “safety and security” for the unsaved? :unsure: While they are saying “peace and safety” sudden destruction comes upon them as a woman giving birth ... and the day of the Lord cometh as a thief in the night (that seems to be the rapture) and ties in with the peace and safety announcement celebration ... and we are told to be sober and to watch for it. :popcorn :popcorn I Thess 5:2-11 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. Not so sure that it is the rapture itself being referenced as the Day of the Lord/Thief in the Night/Sudden Destruction. In my little mind, it seems like it is the 70th week of Daniel, which is triggered by the revelation of the AC when he signs the "peace" deal, which then leads to the sudden destruction that begins to show up with the unrestrained evil and the 2nd seal. We just know scripturally that the harpazo must take place before all that. Just my thoughts. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 KJV 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief The birth pangs are for Israel and only start at the beginning of the Trib, culminating with them calling for Jesus and His return as their Messiah. Prior to the above Israel would have miraculously survived Ezekiel 38 through God's protection only, hence leading them back to Father God and a yearning for the 3rd Temple. My understanding is that this is the nation of Israel saying Peace and Safety when they enter into THE Covenant (Law) with the AC and the promise of the 3rd Temple to carry out the Law via sacrifices, etc. This has been fulfilled by Jesus and is described as a Covenant with Death. Only when the Covenant above is entered into with the AC does the Tribulation start, we won't be here. I was thinking along the lines that the sudden destruction is the direct result of the rapture event since it will bring shock, sadness, chaos/confusion around the world. I expect the rapture to happen before the AC is revealed ... and then he quickly comes on the scene with all false answers. Will we see the destruction of Damascas?! Who knows? I don't really think it necessary. Seems to me, every indication points to some very near dates for the Rapture! Again, we seem to be counting weeks rather than months. Possibly even the counting of days! TR Oh ok ... so this passage you think gets tied in with after the GM attack ... that’s a good view. Then in that case ... there really isn’t a sign to be looking for ... rapture can truly happen at any moment. :good: :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :yahoo: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: Hmmm ... near high watch dates ... I got my calendar circled for the following days :mail: Labor Day ... Monday, Sept 7th Feast of Trumpets ... Friday, Sept 18th - Sunday, Sept 20th Agreed. No signs required. I think the only signs we can observe are things that are setting up to take place during Daniel's 70th week. For example, we know the abomination of desolation at the middle of the 7-year tribulation requires a Temple be in place before then. So, the fact that we are seeing so much activity in preparation for the new temple simply testifies that the Tribulation is drawing near. Same for the technology we see clearly shaping up for the Mark of the Beast. It is the old Christmas-Thanksgiving dynamic. When you start seeing the Christmas decorations going up in November, you know that Thanksgiving has got to be getting close. So it is when you see the things that we know will take place in the 70th week start showing up in their formative stages, you know the harpazo must be coming soon. Maranatha!!! I am still watching for the Trump announcement because I think God might use that as the hook. Though, I don't know if God would use something that is dependent on man.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
