Times And Dates

Does anyone know when the escape from all will happen?  No
Does anyone know when the rapture (if it is a different event) will happen?  No
Does anyone know when the Lord's wrath will fall on this world? No

Do we have some good hints?  Yes

We had the blood moons, the cows with 7's on their heads, and the Shemitah all this year.  The blood moons end in September, the Shemitah is in September, the prophesy we heard about the day of atonement is in September.  Does this mean the hammer will fall in September?  No.  Could it?  Yes, but if the hammer does not fall in September that does not mean we have an all clear sign.

I asked the Lord about September 2015 some months ago and a day or so later I began to see 11:11 everywhere I looked, on clocks, on cash registers, everywhere.  That made me remember a guy who swears up and down that 11 November 2015 is the day all hell breaks loose.  The evidence he uses to prove his point appears to be very suspect in my opinion so I will not mention his name but how can I deny what my own eyes have seen with these 11.11 and 11:11 everywhere?  Does that mean all hell breaks loose in November?  Not necessarily.

I just watched a video of a guy who seemed very sincere that says he and everyone around him has had dreams and visions of judgement falling sometime around Christmas (year unknown).

Whats the point brother?  The point is, we still cannot be certain of the day and hour of spiritual major events.  We do not know the day or hour and everyone, all of them who have claimed "we can know" have all of them been wrong every time without fail.  So what?  So maybe we can be in the dark about the day and hour but be right about the season.

Only a fool could deny the heavenly and earthly signs that have already been given to this world.   Something big is about to happen and all of us, believer and non believer alike know it.

So where does this leave us?  It leaves us with a pocket full of warnings and some decisions to make.  What kind of decisions?  Decisions like whether we are going to take this season seriously.  Decisions like what we are going to do with the precious little 'normal' time that we have left.  Decisions like if we are going to give it all back to the Lord and trust Him and His promises.

If there is so little time left what can we do?  Get rid of anything that still hinders your walk with Him.  Ask Him, He will help you with this.  Determine to drive your roots deeper in Christ, walk with Him, talk with Him, listen to His voice and do what He tells you to do.  Since we do not know if all hell will break loose in September, would it be wise to be ready to meet the Lord (one way or another) in September?  Seems wise to me.  What if its not September and its November or December instead?  Well, we better be ready for that too.  What did the Lord tell us?  What does the Word say?

Luke 21:36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

 Watch and pray always....Its hard and maybe impossible to stay at a razors edge of preparedness for long.  That means we have to make our every day, hour by hour readiness good enough.  Are we ready to meet the Lord when we are standing at our kitchen counter making a peanut butter sandwich this September?  Are we ready to meet the Lord when we are driving to work any given day this November?

The signs and signals and the general condition of this world as it stands today dictates that we must start today with all seriousness to be ready to meet the Lord.  Not one of us knows if we are going to die out, or rapture out, or escape some other way out of this world.  We do not know but we do know this:  many many people are about to meet the Lord one way or another.  The signs tell us this, the moon and the stars tell us this, cows with 7s etched on their heads tell us this.  Wars and rumors or wars, droughts and famines, chaos and decay of every system know to this earth promise that the people of earth will be standing before the Lord of creation soon.

We all will make our way before Him in different ways.  I prefer this way:

Luke 21:36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

If the Lord has other plans for me then so be it.  The bottom line is we have been given ample warning to get our houses in order.  We have a God who hears and answers prayers for those who are not ready to get ready.

I will close out this post with this:  Yes, the Lord has impressed many of us with the warnings of what is coming however...for months now the impression this writer has had from the Lord was to comfort those who belong to Him.  This world will get hammered, thats a fact but what about the Church that is in right standing with Him.  What happens to them?

Rev 3:10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Because you have been patient in Christ, you will be kept from what is coming upon all the world.

Forget what agents of the enemy have said, forget what any man says for that matter including this nobody and focus on what the Word of the Lord clearly says.

Do not add to it, do not take away from it, what does this say?

Luke 21:36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Do not add to it, do not take away from it, what does this say?


Rev 3:10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Does the Lord honor His promises?  Every time.  Does the Lord honor obedience to His Word?  Every time.  What does the Word tell us to do?

Be patient, watch and pray always.  To what end?  That we may escape all that is about to happen.  That we may be kept from the hour of trial that shall come upon all the world to try them.

1 Thess4:16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I do not see the Church anywhere in the book of Revelation past Rev 4.  I could care less about those who try to perform argumentative acrobatics with the Word trying to force the Church in where it clearly is not.  Clearly the Church is in Revelation 2.  Clearly the Church is in Revelation 3, mentioned by name then it is clearly mentioned no more.

The enemy and his agents have stolen our hope and comfort for long enough.  The time for debate is over we are about to find out exactly what the Lord meant by Luke 21:36, Revelation 3:10 and 1 Thess 4:16.  I take them all for their obvious meanings as a 4th grade child would read them.  Am I comforted?  Yes.  Was that the Lord's intention?  I don't know, what does this say?

1 Thess4:16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
