What if in concert with releasing details of his peace initiative Trump himself might blow upon a trumpet?! The ramifications of this would truly be indescribable! Not altogether outside the realm of his personal showmanship and salesmanship! Just saying, what if! TR :mdrmdr: That would be cool ... or perhaps Bibi will be bringing a Ram’s horn to the peace meetings? I can picture a fanfare celebration afterwards so nothing would surprise me one bit with the blowing of a horn! :popcorn Just thinking out of the box here. Guess I'm just saying that at this point, nothing would surprise me! TR Still it's exciting to share our thoughts with one another. And if this did occur, I would be more surprised than anyone! Given what information we have with regards to the Rapture, there is indeed so much that we can yet speculate on! Anyone else willing to speculate??? It's all about the destination and the journey!!! TR Yes Virginia, there is a Rapture! TR Our time here in this realm IMHO is like a "dating period"! Our formal dates are divine appointments with Him. Our casual dates are times just spent in His presence. Our intimate moments are shared in prayer. Our desire for Him grows in time! Having accepted His bride price at Calvary, we are formally engaged. Now we await to be united with Him, never more to be separated. He has already set the date of our marriage and finalizing all the preparations of the wedding. The reception is being planned and staged. Every detail meticulously planned! Then the rapturous joy of our glorious consummation! The gift of the Rapture unto His Bride is but a token of His extravagant heart! Keeping the exact day hidden and undisclosed, that our hearts might be surprised and thrilled by it's anticipated arrival! All to highlight that He is indeed the greatest gift giver. We are then invited into our new home, having been ushered into His eternal presence nevermore to want! Our future forever established by the lavishness of His nature. For this having been the way of man from the beginning, as the template for a divine romance!!! A bride says "I do", only because He has. He initiated, orchestrated, nurtured and established this romance with the intentions of His heart on display before all creation. Man was the only possible recipient of His love. Even the angels bow in envy of man. With any angelic disputation concerning God's choice, his heart would not be dissuaded! His heart was fully captured and decidedly resolute. He has made His choice and it will stand forever. Let the Bride receive His love and forever give her love to HIM! Amen! TR Beautifully written! :good: Wishing it was more like the customs of an American wedding where the bride is only surprised by the ring and engagement part ... then she carefully plans out and knows her wedding date. B-) Fortunately though ... we humans do love surprises ... hope and pray the heavenly wedding date is just around the corner :whistle: He asks but one thing from the Bride. That she totally Surrender! Surrender in every way. Surrender to His will, authority and His advances! For it is only in total surrender that the Bride is made complete and glorified! Lord help me surrender, giving my all, out of a desire to be more pleasing unto You. My worth is found in only sanctified surrender, for this is what You value! Whether I surrender my will, my hopes and dreams, my physical life, or all that I am or aspire to be, it is all to better embrace You Lord! For in the art of surrender, my love making towards is You made holy and acceptable. And this is the model that You have placed into the institution of life, love and marriage. Because You have modeled and designed this Heavenly template of surrender so too, Christ surrendered to the Father's will and accepted the cup of his own death! As we experience and more fully demonstrate this divine principle in every area of our lives, we become more like Christ whom You love! Therein is the heart of God! That we should be loved as the Father loves Christ the Son! TR Yes, very well written, Tender Reed! Such the consummate writer! To your original question, I think I would fall over if Trump blew the shofar. As it is; when things happen that are prophetic, my mouth flies open and I remain wide-eyed for a few moments trying to digest the reality of the moment. Pretty sure if Trump blew the shofar, I would be paralyzed in that position for a while. A few years back I had a prophetic dream (which is not something I have often) where I was getting married and there was no groom. I won't go into it, but it was unusual for me because I'm more the run-away-bride type, but this dream was different. I'm so anxious to live that dream's image that is seared in my mind. An older business acquaintance of mine has a shofar as his ringtone. He left his phone in our friend's car and my friends said they kept hearing a trumpet playing in their back set. A few years back, I found it on the app store and I did not purchase it; can't find it now! Soon we will hear the real thing!! Even if Trump himself or Bibi didn't blow the shofar themselves, but it was included in the unveiling, it still would be spiritually momentous! Point is, we are children of the day and light. We will not be taken unawares! This is His promise. The Lord in his majesty and glory would find some way that would speak to every Christ loving heart!!! This thinking is paramount in my opinion, a sovereign act of God. It will happen whether or not we embrace it! The sequence of events with regards to the Rapture have been well studied. I am willing to humbly step aside receive any sovereign act of God, whether in my wheelhouse or not! TR
