                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I lean there is going to be a small gap between the rapture and the start of the tribulation period.  This morning I was thinking of Enoch … he was raptured out on his birthday (Pentecost) and since he is “a type of the church” that will experience the rapture event and the church was birthed on Pentecost perhaps that really is our departure date?  Or is it Ascension Day?    Also I was thinking God’s judgment didn’t start immediately after Enoch disappeared out of here … the flood occurred after his son Methuselah died. So there was a gap of time.  So if God goes by a certain pattern … perhaps He will do the same?

I lean we need time for the meet and greet in heaven, judgment seat rewards ceremony, marriage ceremony, then there is praise ceremony and laying down our crowns at Jesus’ feet and then we are watching Jesus opening up the seals and then the tribulation kicks in.  Well we be in balcony seats eating :popcorn  and drinking slurpy fruit drinks or wine or beer or pina coladas while watching it all unfold on the earth or can we walk around and have our RITA partea fellowship?  There is a verse where it says there is silence in heaven for about a 1/2 hour so I think we all be aware and know what is happening … if we are allowed to explore heaven and not watch the horrors that are taking place on the earth.

I hold to the view the marriage banquet feast doesn’t happen in heaven … but at the 2nd Coming and its on the earth … just not sure yet “where” … in Jerusalem or where the Garden of Eden was located or where the first miracle of turning the water into wine at the Cana Galilean wedding.   The battlefield of Armageddon is nearby and the Lord already invited the birds to come and dine on those who died there.  So perhaps our banquet feast is in the same region and our beloved fur babies are with us too as we dine?  Plus at this point all the guests … tribulation saints and the Old Testament saints I think will have their new bodies at this point.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Thanks for sharing that Patricia, I agree, the “signs of the times” abound and it has to be soon and personal confirmations, like dreams seem to indicate that also.  About imminence….

I am always a little divided because I think the rapture is imminent but part of me feels as if the tribulation is not - as in, I think there may be a “set time” for that 70th week of Daniel. It is possible it is a Shmitta cycle like Mark Biltz teaches.

But whether it is or not, part of me feels like the start of the tribulation is a date already penciled in on the calendar and has been for a while - I also feel that while Satan might not know the date of the rapture, he might fully well know the date the tribulation will start.  Sometimes I think this is why he and his forces of evil poke at us, it almost seems like he is trying to provoke God to rapture us so he can get his his program going.

If we are raptured on the day the tribulation starts he only gets his 7 years to wreak havoc - maybe he also is hoping we get raptured a few weeks or a few months earlier so he gets a little more time to put his plan into action, so sometimes I feel like he tries to pressure and threaten the church, like the dragon in Revelation 12, threatening to swallow the child, trying to provoke God to rescue us.  Anyone have any opinions on this?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[From Amir's e-mail newsletter:

Notice Jesus did not say “get” ready, but rather “be” ready for the coming of the Son of Man for He is coming unexpectedly. This is speaking of the means by which we can escape the things that are coming upon the whole world, which is the rapture.

Sad to say but there are actually people whose thought plan is to get saved during the tribulation if they miss the rapture. The problem with that kind of thinking asks what makes you think you will be able to die for Him then when you don’t even have to courage to live for Him now?

The Bible says there will be a one-world government in the tribulation and we constantly hear of the New World Order today. The Bible says there will be a massive famine during the tribulation, and there is constant talk of a global food shortage today. The Bible says people will be under a strong delusion and believe the lie of the Antichrist during the tribulation, and today we live in a time of unprecedented delusional thinking. Men can have babies, gender is fluid, a clump of cells or a blob of fetal tissue are phrases used to describe a human child in its mother’s womb in our day. All this is delusional thinking.

Everything going on in our world right now indicates that the time “such as has not been since the beginning of the world” is at hand.

Jesus is coming for His church soon! What follows is a time of unprecedented cataclysmic events. If you’re not ready, today is the day to get ready. If you know others who are not ready, today is the day to tell them how to be ready, even if you have told them before that the end of all things is at hand.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have felt prompted by the Lord to prep a little bit, if the power were to stay on and we could use our freezer food we would have enough to feed 4 for perhaps 6-9 months, but if the power is out it would be more like 3-4 months. I haven't felt led to do more than this....I wonder if it is meant just to help people out initially and for those who will see that the Lord had us prepare a little for them, and learn from our Bibles, books and left behind letters. The Lord will likely expect them to develop faith in Him and trust Him, and all the while learning that their life may be required. He loves the left behind trib saints no less than He loves us....I imagine that He will provide in miraculous ways, but will also complete the wrath that was prophesied. I think of the original Left Behind books and movies where the people that believed, studied scripture and knew what was coming and that some of them would likely die before the Lord returned. Even now I pray for the strength of those left behind to be able to endure, spread the word and be brave until the end, whether by death, martyrdom or Jesus' return.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[One other thing I wanted to add to this thread, because his thread went in a whole different direction - which is ok, that’s like good conversation, let it wander a little bit and see where it goes!

But we have really gotten into talking about some hard times and how to prep a little bit for them - so what I wanted to say to all is this:  Yes we definitely do not want to be an ostrich with our head in the sand, we should watch not only for the rapture but for the perils on the horizon until we are rescued - but in the meantime I really want to emphasize that no one should be fearful under any circumstances.

We know that it is always faith that pleases God and not fear, so I wanted to put a statement of faith out there,  the old saying goes, and is a real good one, work like it all depends on you and pray like it all depends on God, and that has served me well.  I am a hard worker, but I know all I have is the blessing of God.

So here is my statement of faith: For anyone making any preps, whether great or small, do the best you can, seek out wisdom and guidance from the Lord and do as He leads you, but please, please, please do no be fearful.  Do not worry, “what if I haven’t prepped enough?”  Always remember the miraculous stories of old how God fed Elijah by the ravens, and how He miraculously fed the 5000, how he fed Israel manna from heaven, and how the widows oil did not run out.  So many food miracles in the Bible!

I find it interesting that all of this food crisis is beginning  on a Shmitta cycle which means that any observant Israelis will not be planting their fields and God will have to feed them by miraculous means since they won’t be able to prep anything!  Anyway, just consider, faith is not an excuse to be lazy or lackadaisical do what you are able to do, but do not worry about whatever you are not able to do, God will make up the rest, I am convinced He can take 2 cans of tuna fish and stretch it out as long as it is needed if that is all you have set aside - besides that, we will probably be leaving it for someone else anyway.

I just wanted to encourage everyone with these thoughts in case anyone started reading down this thread and was getting a little concerned.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Most people think it has to be freeze dried — but seriously — you can do yourself a huge favor by putting aside rice and beans. White rice can be bought in 20 pound or larger bags and divided up into zip lock bags or even jars. Same with beans and lentils. Oatmeal, cream of wheat (for those not gluten free), canned tuna, chicken, spam (although not healthy, sustenance).

The idea with the freeze dried is this — remember the tribulation will be 7 years long — most of these products last for 5 to 20 years (depending on which company and what product). The left behind will need to survive with nothing growing (think of the seals that will come). All animals will be not always available to consume.

You have to think survival — not grocery store, or even the ability to grow (I do have a small stock pile of seeds available for them).

You can get lists from online sources and I follow many different sources. The ones left behind are due for a horrible life and starvation is top on that list.

Geri — I would highly recommend getting powdered peanut butter as well. And teas (for you) coffee for the rest of us :mdrmdr:

Remember you need a heat source to cook it, I bought from Sams, the burners that go under chaffing dishes and got a portable camping stove (it folds up to 4”x4”) this is a final back up for cooking.

Water will be a problem - so they need to have tablets and purifiers

TP will not be available, buy kitty litter and in many countries they already are used to using whatever they have, paper, magazines, etc….

I feel a heavy burden for them … Per chapter 4 in Revelation, the Bride will be taken out of this and is not subject to God’s wrath poured out on the earth. The church is not mentioned past Chapter 4, so when God’s wrath is poured out via the bowls and seals we will be in the lap of God’s love and enjoying our marriage feast …. But the left I need to have for them as God has opened the door and allowed me to prep for them….

Just my vision and mission :prayer-hands:]]></content:encoded>
