I must confess that I certainly struggle with the shooting of any messenger which would delay the timing of the Rapture! Though not having itchy ears, but rather an itchy Spirit! Wisdom teaches me that if the messenger were the Holy Spirit himself I could do nothing but humbly default! Again, justifications for many dates and times seem appropriate whether near or far! Certainly all things in Heaven and Earth considered speak of imminency! But how can that be defined in the concept of time! 2021 thru 2023 could easily satisfy God's appointed times! Which also speaks to the notion of how much shall the Church endure, not withstanding His days of wrath! I can vilify any messenger I disagree with, except His Spirit! May God's grace continue to abide in our days of watching and waiting! That said, surely every indicator screams He is at the very door! May the Lord be mindful of our hearts desire to be with Him! Lastly, 2023 except those days be shortened! TR Itchy ears speaks of hearing a pleasant report and having secret knowledge! An itchy Spirit bemoans the longings of our hearts! TR I appreciate your honesty, TR. It is not easy to think we may have another 23 months in this sin marred world. Still... Our lives are not our own, we were bought with a price, the precious blood of Jesus. May God's will be done in regards to the timing of the Rapture and in our lives. He is in control and He knows what is best for us. If 2023 is the year then God be praised! If it is 2021 then God be praised! Just happy to be among the redeemed. :unsure: Agreed brother! TR 23 months oy vey. But when put in perspective of eternity -- its nothing. But here and now just thinking about 23 months is heavy and daunting. Indeed the burden of waiting is still a wearisome one! Except for the increasing evil of man the wait is excruciatingly more painful! TR I used to listen to Jack Van Impe in the late 1980's. I also read "Prince of Darkness" by Grant Jeffery back in 1988. I was convinced the Rapture would happen any moment during that time. I have been expecting an any moment rapture now for over 30 years. Patience is something I have learned the hard way, but like you I cannot stand the thought of having to wait 23 more months. The Lord knows our hearts of longing and I am sure it is a blessing to Him on a personal level! Indeed many of us have been watchers filled with anticipation for decades! Again, I may not know what time it is, but it's later than it's ever been! The night of our separation from Him seems only to be getting darker! Then the break of day in all it's glory will find us forever reunited! Again taste the goodness of the Lord, and let us glory that He has given each of us His heart! TR That should be a happy emoji, not the confused one. :wacko: I know better than to be dogmatic about any specific time, I have been watching many, many years and seen many a high watch date, season and year come and go....but something will have to change to convince me that life will look somewhat "normal" in two years when the Rapture is being suggested to happen. At this point I can't see that....I see normal going completely away this winter with all that is coming down the pike so to speak... :unsure:
