Leaving behind past questions such as, how long oh Lord? Or when will the Rapture happen? Seems to me that it begs being asked, what's the next thing that we need to see or experience before we leave? Both corporately and privately! What else do I need in my Christian walk to be prepared for Heaven? What is the next labor pain that the Church must look for before our time here on this Earth is completed? Rather than ask how many more souls does the Bride of Christ need, we might ask if Heaven is ready to receive us?! Do we wait for something more in this realm to transpire or do we wait upon Heaven itself? Does time itself refrain our departure, or is the Church preventing our departure?! What say you??? TR Being saved (having Jesus as your personal Savior) is preparation enough for heaven. But I think the last thing we might see before departure is the increase of fear ... as J.D. just spoke about this topic in his youtube today. I think he is spot on because earlier today I was reading articles about people in America who are packing up and moving to other countries because they fear and are concerned about the increase of gun violence ... thinking it will be greener in another country. Sadly they are dead wrong because violence will affect the entire planet especially once the tribulation starts. Their troubles will have only just begun ... True Geri7, I remember that many prominent people said they would leave the country if Trump was elected. Their still here. TR I thought something was supposed to happen today. Today is 6 months and 21 days since the moon turned to blood in January. Or on August 5. Maybe something will happen late tonight before the last timezone for the 9th of Av goes by. Or it could be on the full moon day this week. "For the Goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. The "day appointed" is Strong's H3677 - kece'. So the Goodman will come home at the full moon. This might be the one. It's also the same day that the English girl is talking about on Youtube. https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H3677&t=KJV I think it's like you say, we are waiting for one more thing in this realm to transpire AND we wait upon Heaven itself. One more Saint to be born. It's how many more souls does the Bride of Christ need. The silence in Heaven for about the space of half an hour, half a "hora. A short season, a "time", or six months. I don't think that it's the number of people now alive being won over to Christ, i think it might have to do with new life entering into the world. But i do think Heaven is looking for a specific number for this. I'm a bit of a five pointer, so i think i was picked by the Father from before the foundation of the universe. But if i'm right, the Devil can be buying himself a bit more time here now with all of his abortion activities. All the transgressive laws that have spread like wild fire, and maybe even the abortion pills. These things may have caused a delay in God's People joining us here, but i'm certain that a specific number of saints WILL go marching in. It's only a matter of time. I bet that's what they're watching up there now. I bet it's nail biter time. I bet we're close. When I was in grade school; I had this image of the rapture as being able to see Jesus coming in the sky. My image also revealed that my own city would be in a condition of total chaos; fighting in the streets--- everywhere...and then Jesus would appear. This most likely was not a vision, I believe it was my "day dream" of what the end would look like based on something the Nuns told us in catechism class. However, I held on to that as my own personal road marker right before Jesus would come for us. Today, we know nothing else has to happen before the rapture; so it is a curious question that TR asks. Personally, doing a better job sharing Christ with others is on the top of my list. Some prophecy teachers say that Trump's election has put a hold on the globalist's agenda and we should spend this time furiously witnessing. "We must work the works of Him Who sent Me and be busy with His business while it is daylight; night is coming on when no man can work" John 9:4 Many are witnessing furiously; probably the vast majority are not. Simply sharing the love of God is the greatest witness any could aspire to! Whether deep within our prayer closets, or towards one individual, or upon a site like this having exposure on an international basis. My heart and my agenda has been expressed on Geri7's thread of Oct 31st high watch Rapture day! Let us all find comfort in the fact that we stand with a great cloud of witnesses who have already done the same! TR Again, whether there is any advance warning or if we encounter any personal manifestations just prior to the Rapture, seems to me that the Lord will certainly prepare our hearts beforehand. Either He will prepare us for our departure, and or prepare our hearts for entering into Heaven's realm! The promises that will indeed fulfilled, and the unearthly changes we will experience would certainly seem to beg some further preparations emotionally, IMHO! TR I’ve read both sides of the Trump argument. Some believe he is actually a catalyst as the other side is working more fervently to bring their agenda to fruition. I don’t know which is true. One thing that “feels” true (okay, that sounds stupid) is that time seems to be rocketing by faster than I can ever remember. We’ve all experienced this phenomenon before but it is so unusually fast right now. Anyone else feeling the rushing winds of time flying by? Indeed. Things should truly continue to escalate, intensify and accelerate! One minute here, next minute there! TR Yohanan, I would not only agree that time seems to have been placed on “speed dial” and escalated to the hyperspace level but crazy and evil is also escalating out of control. It was just Monday but tomorrow is Friday, not sure what happened to Tuesday or Wednesday and today is almost gone. Maybe, just maybe, it’s Gods way of stepping us out of time and into eternity. At some moments I feel like I’m going crazy if I here one more story of evil happening in the world and the next it’s like my heart and brain have gone into stealth mode are just quiet listening because something is about to happen. Then I get excited and pray for everything and everyone. The days are like the roller coaster, you are leaning back in the seat, facing up and the car is slowly clicking up, up, up ... you know you will tumble any second but that click, click, click, click up, up, up, seems to go on forever..... :prayer-hands:
