Love that Kolleen.... My pastor friend and I went back and forth for an hour on the topic -- I'm sticking with what I was raised on and believe it truth - pre-trib rapture. With all that is happening right now, the time is now - not decades from now. And agree Yohanan! I do however believe that every nation has heard! How sad Todd that as a “preacher” over 36 churches he does not even understand the book of Roman’s and particularly Romans 1:20 “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.” For every human is without excuse of the Word of God, it is written in the stars (the wisemen saw it and followed it), it is written in the very fabric of our DNA, it is written in the entire creation. Many tribal folks have prayed to the God of Heaven knowing He is creator. What the truth is for this man and many others, they refuse to acknowledge God in His eternal power and Divine nature and they live for themselves — serving only as it is convenient for their life. Matthew 24 will occur during the tribulation, as Yohanan mentions below. I am sad for your friend who leads others. May God open His blind eyes, so true there are many kinds of blindness …. :prayer-hands: This is probably nothing -- but it might be something... During my quiet time with the Lord this morning, a song popped up in my head and I actually sang it. It's and old classic rock 'n roll ditty called Forty Days by Cliff Richard. The words are: "I'm gonna give you 40 days to get back..." and "I'm gonna see that you be back home in 40 days...". I haven't heard or even thought about this song for decades. I'm not claiming it to be prophetic, but the Lord has given me truthful insights in this way many times before, so I'm not discounting it. It might not even be about going to our real home, but what else can it be? I'm in my earthly home now. Today is November 7, so by my reckoning 40 days later is Sunday, December 17. Just thought I should share it with y'all. December 17th is a very good day to go home! Today would be better but if it's the 17th I won't complain. 😉 :yes:
