It really does not matter even if the dark side reads everything (satan knows the Bible, he knows his time is short), just as the Israelites did not understand Gods plan when He told them to go into the promised land....just as the disciples did not understand the sacrifice to be made instead of a conquering King (neither did satan) ... God has hidden his perfect plan and those that watch totally get it. Remember, Jesus very clearly said there will be many “anti-Christ” who come at the time of the end. It’s not just the news, rumors of wars, weather, pestilence that we watch for .... that is why He told us to discern. The Holy Spirit lives within us to keep us alert, but we are to wear the whole armor and remain watchful in prayer, 24/7. The irony is that even at the crucifixion and now at the end, satan is following Gods perfect plan for our redemption, he has no choice nor can he stop it, just like at the cross. Yes, there will be those that follow him, lost souls for all eternity, very sad indeed. Thanks for the great replies everyone ! And here's part 2 of Sandy's message. Pastor Sandy is basing much of his timing on Noah's flood beginning on the 17th of Cheshvan (November 4th). The Rabbi's of old were not in total agreement. It is said that the Talmudic sage Rabbi Eliezer established that date but Rabbi Joshua's interpretation was that the rains started six months later on the 17th of Iyar. I feel more comfortable with a springtime rapture based on Song of Solomon. Take note that Iyar 17 (April 29th) is seven days before Iyar 24 which is Ascension Day, ten days before Pentecost. Noah went into the ark seven days before the Judgment began. The angels in Acts said Jesus would return in the same way they saw Him leave. Maybe around Ascension Day? I'll keep an eye out for November - the sooner the better. :yes: Indeed, doctrines don't save. I have been known to toggle back and forth on occasion! Whether he is right or wrong I admire any willing to be that forthright with their convictions! I know I claimed 2020 as the year for the Rapture and still strongly in that statement! Again, I wait to hear from the Lord on the matter! He certainly can't be called lukewarm! TR Iyar?????? Oh well, guess the Rapture won’t happen this year after all....
His sheep know Him and we follow him (Jesus) and He gives us eternal life ... all that the Father gave Him, He will loose none of them. So thankful that our time here is almost over on earth :prayer-hands:
