Agreed! "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!!!" I have not hear very much on this with respect to the rapture. It is a very intriguing thought....... we might know right before, or sometime before, that we will be taken. I've read that scripture, but surprisingly haven't put much thought into it; only about the rapture itself and knowing we are in the season. Hmmmmm. It's all about knowing and loving His heart. I am convinced that His heart is pure. Sadly when we enter into intimate human relations, this is rarely the case. He is whole, complete and perfect by Himself. We are not, we are broken vessels. A shadow only of what we will be in eternity future. The potter is still fashioning each of us, as the clay is readied and prepared. But nonetheless, His love is our model, our template. Oh to love like Christ and our Heavenly Father! Seems to me that the Lord will use anyone but only to the measure that we surrender in His hands! Yet we and I, seem to fall short on a daily basis! Whatever Heaven will hold and offer to us, the fact that we will be in His presence will be most important. Seems to me that everything else Heaven offers will be but window dressing. This is not just mere speculation, but a truth in fact. We allow ourselves and our imaginations to run wild trying to anticipate the glories of Heaven. But we often forget, what makes Heaven glorious is His presence! And yet the Lord allows our hearts to imagine, dream and share the expressions of our hearts with regards to Heaven. TR What if.... What if we are not only right to anticipate His SOON return, but also find that He is nearer than we can even imagine! This thought boggles the mind, and overwhelms our spirits! What if we not only hear, "well done thou good and faithful servant" but are also commended for our faithful waiting and watching! Then to hear Him say, that we knew His Holy Spirit, intimately! What if.... tonight was our last night here!!! TR TR welcome to my world! My mind stays in constant boggle, if you will. It remains a since of unreality but yet truth. I know it so well, that we, the watchers of our beloved Bridegroom, will indeed receive the Crown of Life, to give back to Christ. I know, He is going to call us, the Bride and very shortly. In my world I can almost feel the nearness and my listening heart reaches for the heavens. This world is a burden to bare. But soon and awesomely soon, we are so outta here! Beyond understanding, beyond imagination, but truth nonetheless! Praise to the Lamb! :yahoo: :prayer-hands: TR said: "The Lord in his majesty and glory would find some way that would speak to every Christ loving heart!!!" You had made a comment in another thread that you thought God would (paraphrasing) touch our hearts with such an overflow just before the Rapture and I am definitely leaning in that direction. And to the original musing, I would not be surprised at this point if Trump did blow a shofar! I really never expected him to move the US embassy to Jerusalem or even consider helping build the temple and yet that is exactly what he did and is doing.
