Our relationships with the Lord keep growing ever stronger. That part I am enjoying. So there is some good coming out of this. We are increasingly being separated from the world. And I like what Tenderreed said a while back about God allowing us to experience this. When He does judge the world, we will totally understand and be on board. Yes this would be my point looking at this crazy, fallen evil world. With me it's more about how I feel. I grew up in the sixties and 70's. Even in the crazy 70's there was normalcy and stability. Today I am a stranger in a foreign land. I not only feel odd I AM odd. I am hated because of my faith in Christ by family members and people in general. I stick out like a sore thumb and get quite a few dirty looks because I am unvaccinated and have to wear a mask. We all say this world is not my home but for me it goes farther than that. We no longer fit in this world anymore. And for me, well I definitely feel the squeeze Come quickly Lord Jesus! Susan, Could not have said it better — I don’t fit here anymore … Psalm 73:25 “Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.” —- David was obviously a watcher :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :flyup: :flyup: :prayer-hands: Leviticus 23:15-17 And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath; from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be completed. Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; Then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord. You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. They are the firstfruits to the Lord. Baked with leaven symbolizes sin, firstfruits to the Lord sounds like the rapture. We have all sinned, yet we are saved by grace. The overcoming Christians are the firstfruits. These verses sound as though you are to count an additional fifty days after Pentecost. At timeanddate.com if you add 50 days to May 16, you come up with July 5. If I am interpreting this correctly, high rapture watch this weekend! Calendar marked! Looking for the fireworks display too :prayer-hands:
