If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. I perfer to be ready today, just in case. Hmmm … so is he implying this could be the start of Jacob’s trouble? Then a few days later Feast of Trumpets will be on Oct 3rd. I expect the church to be snatched away any day this winter to spring (Passover). From John Tng on Five Doves Jan 26: "Escaping the SNARE": [just a little from his post] Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things. . . I will prove in this post that the SNARE spoken of by Jesus refers to the Oct 7 attack by the Hamas savages! If that is the case, our ESCAPE is around the corner! The keen reader might have noticed the Oct 7 date in the scripture that contains the key word "snare" in Exodus 10:7! This is not a coincidence. Psalm 124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. The most astounding thing about Psalm 124:7 is the hidden prophecy in this psalm, pointing to the year 2024 !!! https://www.fivedoves.com/rapture/2024/escapingthesnare.html @patrician Amazing. The entire story of the Exodus is so full of hidden meaning; much has been said and written about it as a possible type of the rapture. The Israelites were told to eat the Passover wearing their sandals and holding their staffs -- fully ready for the journey/escape. Thanks Patricia, I'm going to read that post again. It seems to me that our presence here on Earth is holding everything up. What a catalyst for any and all events our disappearance would be. Perhaps Today mentioned on another thread that he thinks the Rapture will be on an ordinary day that isn’t anticipated. I agree. One of the things I check each day is Israel in the news. I do believe it is clear as many do that Israel is God’s time-peace. I was wondering, where do Damascus and Gog Magog fit in time wise with the Rapture? Any thoughts on this? What event(s) occurring around or in Israel should really get us excited? Or will we even have time to get excited? I’m kind of tired. Hope this makes sense. @erby where do Damascus and Gog Magog fit in time wise with the Rapture? I do not think anyone knows for sure whether these events are before or after the rapture.
