Sometimes I wonder if we are any closer this year than we were in 2021 or 2022. I mean the 1 or 2 years set aside, is 2023 any different, really? So whenever I get these feelings, I can get down and resign myself to a 2025 or 2026 timeline (ugh!) or I can list some items that may make 2023 a critical year, like: - Israel turns 75 on 5-14 or 4-26 on hebcal. - Charles becomes king on 5-6. - Russia may soon know who blew up the nordstream pipeline. - Iran may actually go nuclear this year. - US digital currency platform to be launched in July. - The Biden-China corruption may see the light of day (but I doubt it) - More signs in the heavens so far this year. - Is it just me, or have we seen a tremendous acceleration in right made wrong and wrong made right? Not a day goes by that this is not in the headlines. - Does anyone think we can make it another year without a major economic or financial crisis? Are recent bank failures just the tip of the iceberg? What am I missing? So looking forward to being with our Lord. Seems to me that everything is accelerating. 2023 is a great candidate for the rapture. The controlled demolition of the western world is in full swing and has great momentum. The Russia/Ukraine conflict is by no means a minor event. There will be repercussions over this and not just for Russia and Ukraine. Israel and the Arab world are making great strides towards normalizing relationships. The perfect storm of coalition is already met with Russia, Turkey, and Iran. AI technologies are already at a frightening level. The Mark of the Beast technologies is either already available or not far off. Those who released the Corona virus are working on another. There is a deadly bacterial infection spreading. Civil war in the US is a real possibility. If the rapture doesn’t happen soon there won’t be anybody left to go through the Great Tribulation. Why 2023 is a strong case for the the rapture to happen? 1. There is no more “normal” business as usual is about to collapse and real food is going to be scarce … the Lord is not going to leave us here to eat bugs and fake lab made cancerous foods. 2. Israel hast to remove the Iranian threat now or if they delay it will be a nuke war. Either way many watchers feel it will trigger the G/M war … 3. The WEF have pushed up their godless utopia from 2030 to 2023 to commence 4. I think satan got the go ahead green light of “the knowledge” was informed by the Lord so he could tell his cabal followers to push up the agenda so its in-sync with the timing of the tribulation period. Satan spends a lot of time in heaven and he doesn’t get kicked out until … mid point of the tribulation … Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 5. The world will soon be hearing more about the “mother alien ship” is lurking in our solar system so the lying news media is going to put fear in the unsaved to explain away the rapture event. Yes, the WEF attendees know about the rapture and they can’t wait for it to happen … they hate us and want us gone and have been planning for our disappearance with their high tech strong illusions for the left behind. Brothers and sisters the curtain is about to get lifted for the departure show … so grab your :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn and keep your fur babies close to your side and be ready for the ride of your life :whistle: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: What gives me comfort is even though I was VERY disappointed we didn’t leave Feast of Trumpets last year … and here we are 6 months later already … didn’t the time go fast in waiting? Meanwhile so many more have gotten saved in this time span. I wish more would get on the flight with us … but the Lord has everything in His hands. The door of the Flight 777 is about to close … so get ready for take off … "Geri9 says, Satan spends a lot of time in heaven and he doesn’t get kicked out until … mid point of the tribulation … " Hmmm. I haven't heard that.. So he is spending a lot of time in heaven now, or very soon? Hi Sonya, In answer to your question … yes, I believe demons/the devil are still permitted to “visit” heaven … Revelation 12:10 For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. So satan is up in heaven a lot if he is accusing us day and night? Plus there is the passage of him talking to God about Job before he put all those calamities on Job to test his faith. The first war happened in heaven … then mid point of the tribulation there will be another war - we will witness this … And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. Here are 2 interesting passages about God needing a lying spirit … and demons volunteered while they were up in heaven “visiting” II Chronicles 18:21The Spirit answered, 'I will go out and be a spirit that tells lies through the mouths of all of Ahab's prophets.' "The LORD said, 'You will succeed in deceiving him. Go and do it.' I Kings 22:22 “And he replied, 'I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.' 'You will surely entice him and prevail,' said the LORD.” And the left behind many will believe the lie because they love not the Truth (Jesus). So I think … the demons and the devil do have a sense that the rapture is going to happen soon and they influenced Klaus Schwab and the rest to push up their godless utopia from 2030 to 2023. The Bible says before Lucifer’s fall when he talked music came out … he had pipes … and Lucifer lead with the singing in heaven at one time. Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. So satan is behind the songs these rock and rock groups play and most secular songs. Check out the words of this creepy song about satan. He says he’s been around forever … trying to make himself be like God. He says he writes the songs the whole world sings. He makes his home deep within you .. he’s got his place within the souls of the lost. I write the songs I've been alive forever I write the songs that make the whole world sing My home lies deep within you I write the songs that make the whole world sing Oh, my music makes you dance I write the songs that make the whole world sing I write the songs that make the whole world sing I am music (music), and I write the songs... - Fair Use - I love the answers this thread! All of the answers are all spot on. I can't add much to it as I see everything ramped up and it would be redundent. I have been impatient, too impatient. But, for me, this is more "gut" I just see it and feel it. Like a kid before Christmas.......there is something going on and I like it! Keep the faith! Whit If you want a few more of Gods hidden nuggets just listen to this video. We truly have an amazing and powerful Heavenly Father. I’m so excited to be in His presence and according to the “end of the age of Pisces we are soon to leave. Remember to use discernment For educational and discussion purposes. I don't know how I Write the Songs became related to being of satanic influence, but we do know satan will take anything that began in good faith, and try to destroy it. It seems that may be the case with Bruce Johnston's hit song, also later sung by countless other artists versions. I found this... "I Write the Songs" is a popular song written by Bruce Johnston in 1975 and released on his album Going Public in 1977. In the mid-1970s, he wrote "I Write the Songs." The original version was recorded by Captain & Tennille, who worked with Johnston in the early 1970s with the Beach Boys. The song became a Billboard number one hit by Barry Manilow, for which Johnston won a Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1977. Johnston has stated that, for him, the "I" in the song is God, and that songs come from the spirit of creativity in everyone. Johnston started brainstorming the lyrics while he was driving on the San Diego Freeway and rushed home to come up with some verses and a bridge. "I put it all together and found that I'd written a song about where I think music comes from," he explained in The Complete Collection And Then Some liner notes. per wikapedia 
By Barry ManI low
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music, and I write the songs
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
And gives your spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll, so you can move
Music fills your heart, well, that's a real fine place to start
It's from me, it's for you
It's from you, it's from me
It's a worldwide symphony
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
