How mind boggling and spirit arresting it is to say that the Rapture will soon be within our reach!!! Simply but months away!!! Can we let this sink in, all past disappointments aside! This truth will indeed be confirmed into our spirits as more confirmations continue and the veil of our understanding is lifted from us! TR I can just picture it now, what if our fur babies and pets spoke to us and said "Jesus is coming"! Just as like Balaam's donkey! Forget angels, just saying....TR I’m feeling it .. the Shemitah cycle is still in play :whistle: because Bible watchers were tagging it on to what the secular Jews consider their New Year in the fall (Feast of Trumpets) but God considers the New Year in the spring Nisan 1 around Passover and leaving Egypt for the Promise Land. This month shall be for you the head of months, the first of the months of the year" (Exodus 12:2). Time is running out … and some Bible prophecy watchers have been in discussion of the nuke exchange … they are linking it to (Seal 2) Rider on the Red Horse (global war - GREAT sword will kill many). The church is already in heaven - Revelation 5 we are singing “Worthy is the Lamb” and Revelation 6 we watch Jesus open up the seals … I can see my fur baby warning me … he does it already a few times a day with his barking/howling like a wolf as he glances over at me … when the train crosses over the street at the junction a short distance away. So I expect the same when he hears the trumpet blast. Since Eve wasn’t afraid of the snake talking to her and Balaam’s donkey talked … sure sounds like the animals and birds, etc did speak at one time before the sin curse. Romans 8 talks about our fur babies and other creatures are groaning waiting with anticipation for the sin curse to be lifted. They didn’t sin but were subject to the same fate as us (illnesses/death). Since we picked our fur babies to be stewards over … the stewardship doesn’t end in this life but will continue on for eternity. :yes: 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature (includes our fur babies) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God (us to have our glorified bodies) 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (The rapture even) Psalm 26:6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments area great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. (Preservest - means to keep from decay) This is a promise to believers, they will have a glorified body as well as their animals. But the promise for the unsaved is the complete opposite … they will have a rotted body fit for hell and where the worm dieth not. Maggots eating away at a rotting corpse forever … Mark 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Looking closely at this verse again … “firstfruits of the Spirit” “redemption of the body” … Resurrection/Easter Sunday timeframe? Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. We know at Passover/Resurrection … there was a great earthquake and the graves of the Old Testaments saints opened up and walk around in the holy city (Jerusalem) and now they are in heaven since Abraham’s bosom compartment is empty. Matt 27 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. So did the Old Testament Saints get their glorified bodies then? Now the church is next … same time frame? Resurrection/Easter Sunday? And the tribulation saints are seen in heaven waving palms … were they martyred near Palm Sunday or Passover/ Resurrection/Easter time? Revelation 7 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Then mid point of the trib. The AC will kill the 2 witnesses and their bodies will lay in the street for 3 days … will that be the same time frame as Passover? And the AC defiles the 3rd temple then? Revelation 11 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Hmmmm … “Come up hither” 3 days later will that be on Resurrection/Easter Day the 2 Witnesses get their glorified bodies? Testimony of Christ was 3 1/2 yr ministry. So too with the two end time witnesses! Someone postulated that the phrase "come up hither" was not indicative of the rapture, but it is how the witnesses are called home and it is when the AC will defile the temple of God! TR I'm not going to make any bones about it... Dr Barry's presentation is probably the best I've ever seen since I started watching in 1988. Having watched many of his videos before, and despite Barry's quirkiness, I sensed a calmness and an assurance in this one. It double-ticks all the boxes for me. The typology angle is most certainly what the Bible is all about -- everything points to our Lord Jesus. The scriptural prophecies, the feasts, the chronology, the shmitas, the jubilee, even the astrology aspect lines up. His bonus explanation of God's grace around the two-hour mark is so beautifully accurate; something that most Christians don't understand because of centuries of wrong teaching in the church (I am/was one of them; still unlearning bad doctrine). Our Father in heaven is so much better and so much more loving than we could ever imagine. Hallelujah! Anyway, I'm very wary of going by feelings... but I can't deny the glorious excitement of the prospect of going home very soon. Did I just say that? Yes, I did!!! The lyrics of the song, "I Can Only Imagine", are very relevant. I give up Geri, what is going to hit the fan? Used gravy and veggies? :calvin True Paul (I have only had the time to watch half of it and it is busting my chops to get to the rest, except for work and the Season 3 finale of The Chosen today), and when combined with CJ Lovik’s complete take on it from his YT — it is almost irrefutable or may be 100% irrefutable. :yahoo: — Can we just say — it is time and I am so amazed at our Father and how precise he is at every angel — it is all beautifully woven and orchestrated by the Master…. It makes one feel rather small in comparison to His glory. :prayer-hands:
