The biggest reason I do not have much to say about this topic is because I really do not want a heads up. I literally don't think I could handle it. I would go loonier than I already am if I knew we only had three days left. I would hyperventilate and probably suffer cardiac arrest due to the overwhelming joy of knowing we are about to be gone and then I'd miss the rapture altogether anyway. And why would anyone listen to my witness any more than they do now if I told them "The Lord has said He is coming back in three days". I know I would write that person off as a loon and I am a lifelong Christian and watcher. I think we will have a sense right before it happens but I really don't want to know three days ahead of time. I just don't think I'd deal with it very well. If I recall, it wasn't long ago that I asked you to go deeper with this subject yet you refused so please stop saying We have the promise - he will come for us (if I go away,…I will come again…and will take you to where I am…); Jesus said it - the simplicity of believing our savior says what he means is in itself a comfort — Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever Heb. 13:8. Just keep watching! It is very exciting to see what Russia is doing — plus the Middle East is going to implode at any moment. :prayer-hands: Sorry to throw joy and optimism in here but I must. 😉 I am glad to be here because it is the Lord's will for me. On this earth, this is the only time to be able to earn eternal rewards. We can add jewels in our crown that we can cast at the feet of Yeshua. The Holy Spirit working through us is ultimately responsible for any rewards we are given. He will be glorified! :yahoo: As for getting a heads up, I'm with Yohanan. Perhaps it would be too much for me or if I knew it was in a week's time, I would probably slack off until the last moment like cramming for an exam the night before. :wacko: I'll just take it day by day. Every day is a gift from God and I am grateful. When eternity comes, I will be eternally grateful. :yahoo: God knows best and I'll trust His plan. :good: Anyway, let us cheer on and encourage each other as we run that race. The finish line is in sight. Hebrews 10:23-25 New King James Version 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Tenderreed, You never fail to be a blessing bringing forth a comforting thought! Many comforting thoughts in fact. You are a great blessing to the whole RITAN family. Never doubt that!
