Love that perfect answer Geri on your first and hopefully last invitation to sex change!! I thought it was appalling not that long ago that on doctors offices paperwork, they began asking if you're sexually active! What!? Doesn't fly with me - I leave it blank! Now they are asking adults out of the blue if they want a sex change! Also appalling. I heard an explanation last week for the trans push - it's a major means of birth control!! So true story — My mom had to fill out a bunch of paperwork for a neurology appointment and when the question came up “What Race” — I told her to put “human” and she did. I am not sure the intake person appreciated our truth :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: To me I think the rapture will be spread out over a period of 10 days. Staring with the trumpets occurring on Rosh Hoshanah. Then there is a 10 day period for the saved and the lost to decide what they want to do. The first 7 of the ten days reveal the dead in Christ rising, it matches the 7 churches. These 7 days give, we who are still alive, time to witness to our neighbors. We can provide for them Biblical information and give them time to decide what they want to do. The 10th day is the day of atonement, this will also be the day Israel signs the 7 year agreement and seals their fate to start the days of Jacobs trouble. It's also the day we meet the Lord in the air. Maranatha! That is an interesting thought, Rick, something that would have never occurred to me. I must confess that would be interesting to think about, yet it doesn't feel likely. Very interesting! Well there is a gap in time … based on the colon punctuation marks after “Trump of God:” and “the dead in Christ shall rise first:” The question is how long of a pause/gap :unsure: I lean our brand new bodies change in a blink of an eye nano second … but the flying upward is much slower based on Acts 1:11 event … the disciples were gazing up into the sky watching Jesus ascending upward into the clouds … they were eye witnesses to the event … it wasn’t a quick flight upward so I think the left behind will see us also rise into the clouds … :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: And the graves of the believers were open at the time of the crucifixion so I expect a repeat of MAJOR earthquakes globally to shake this world to get the attention of everyone. :whistle: Matt 27 50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. I Thess 4 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. The question is do the saints that are resurrected walk about and visit us to say its time to go and we are caught up together with them in the clouds (and we can hold hands as we fly upward?) or are they up in the clouds already with Jesus and we fly upward alone holding our fur babies and/or the angels assigned that task to go get them and bring them up? Romans 8: For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. [aka the RAPTURE] ———- Anybody watch the uptime youtube last night? Dr Barry thinks mid point when the 2 witnesses rise after being dead laying in the street for 3 1/2 days is the same time frame that the tribulation saints that have died get their glorified bodies as well. Notice the unsaved will be watching the 2 witnesses get their glorified bodies and fly upward B-) and there is another GREAT earthquake at this event. And the 1/3 Jews (remnant) will observe it too and give glory to God in heaven. Revelation 11 11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. More thoughts … So … if the unsaved and 1/3 remnant Jews “heard the voice come up hither” are observing the 2 witnesses at mid tribulation getting their glorified bodies instantly … and flying upward into the clouds wouldn’t it be the same for us if we are at the grocery store or at work or in the park or beach or outside talking to the neighbors and then BAM the rapture happens … they will be eyewitnesses also to our bodies quickly getting changed … and our earthly clothes and shoes/flip flops drop off, any jewelry, glasses, hearing aids, braces, etc. also all fall on the ground / floor and then … they see us flying :whistle: Revelation 11 11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. Your deductions all look sound to me, Geri. Time will tell, of course. Yes, I did watch the Uptime vid with Barry Awe. I also found his testimony very interesting because it’s quite similar to mine; I’ve been a church-goer since I was a child, but I don’t think I was really saved until I truly understood righteousness and grace. For that reason I urge everybody to watch the video. Perhaps you can upload it, Geri? The Festival of New Wine theory/revelation is fascinating to say the least. Everything seems to fit and yes, I am excited. If it is a miscalculation or misrepresentation I’ll get over it. I’m okay with hanging around a while longer and doing whatever the Lord has in mind for me, but I really would like to go home. Here’s a short 29 minute clip from the program last night Debunking No One Knows the Day & Hour! Rapture Resurrection 10th of Av July 26th 28th??? - Fair Use - Thanks. I turned it on, saw John, and turned it off. Not to be a naysayer, but I do wonder how the strong delusion from 2 Thessalonians 2 may play into our departure. I hope it would be drawn out a bit so there's no doubt what happened and as a witness, but that makes me wonder. Perhaps it's only in the anti-christ's ability to deceive people, but maybe not. Plus the snatching away out of danger aspect of the word harpazo makes me lean to a very sudden and quick event.
