Being the bride of Christ, secures for us an enviable position of particular closeness to the Lord Jesus! One we shall enjoy through out eternity! Again, here on Earth all eyes are on the beauty of the bride at a wedding. Angel's will envy us for sure! But whether an earthly or heavenly wedding, the bride's eyes are steadfastly focused on the bridegroom! TR Yes His heart, character and methodology are revealed! Reference thread called "God's MO" by Tom, presented some time ago! TR I lean that the rapture event will be much slower than people think. The twinkling of the eye is the changing of the body but we are told the graves of the dead in Christ will be opened up first ... so I expect to not only hear the trumpet and Jesus calling us home but I think the news media will give breaking emergency announcements of the event and I got a hunch we are all going to feel major earthquakes going off across the globe ... perhaps it will even trigger the volcanoes to all erupt at the same time before we fly out of here. :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: Now that I have brought up the midnight cry from Matthew 25, 10 years ago, I had a dream. In my dream, I saw 12:30 am in a pendulum clock. Here's the detail of my dream. Back in 2010, I had a dream. It was a late spring/summer like setting. I went to a theater with my mother. When I got inside, I immediately went to the back stage, and put on a new pair of red shoe. Then I went to the side of the stage. There was a pendulum clock beside me. I looked at the clock, it was pointing at 12:30 am. Then I heard "tick tock, tick tock, tick tock". A person wearing red cloth came on the stage, and was doing tap dancing. After he's done, there came another person wearing red cloth, doing tap dancing again. After they finished, all of sudden I saw many people, kindred, multitudes, appeared on the stage, and they were singing a song together. At that moment, I knew the show is finished. It's time to go home. In that moment, I was quite confident that the time should be 12:30 am. But when I turned around, and looked at the clock, it was pointing at 12:40 am. In 2 Peter 3:8, we know that a thousand years is like a day to the LORD. A thousand years consists of 365240 days ( 1000 X 365.24 days ). A day consists of 1440 minutes ( 24 X 60 minutes ). There was 10 minutes elapsed ( 12:30 am to 12:40 am ) when I was watching the whole show on the stage. To convert the 10 minutes into days, we have the following calculation. 1 day : 1000 years = 10 minutes : X days X = 1000 years ( 365240 days ) x 10 minutes divided by 1 day or 1440 minutes = 2536 days Basically, when we take one day as a thousand years, 10 minutes represents 2520 days or the 7 years tribulation. Here's my explanation of my dream. When the midnight calls occurs, me and my mother shall be raptured at 12:30 am during a late spring/summer like weather. I got my reward by putting on a new pair of shoes. Then I was holding my breadth, sitting on heaven's balcony seat, watching the tribulation events, represented by the two persons wearing in red, doing tap dancing. They could be the Anti Christ, appearing in the first half and second half of tribulation. Or they could be the Anti Christ and the false prophet together. At the end of 7 years tribulation, I saw multitudes, kindred, and different nations, singing a song together. They represent the raptured and martyred saints in heaven, giving glory to God and the Son, preparing to return to earth. And the time they returned to earth should be 12:40 am. And between 12:30 am when the tribulation starts, to 12:40 am the end of tribulation, these 10 minutes represent 2520 days on earth, the length of 7 years tribulation. Concerning 12:30 am and 12:40 am, will they point to my local Pacific time, or based on Jerusalem time, my answer is they are based on Jerusalem time. In Matthew 25, Jesus has spoken of a midnight cry, the five wise virgins went to meet the Bridegroom. That midnight cry resonates the 12:30 am I saw in the clock. Interesting. TR
