The Lord likes to explain things to this servant in military terms since that is a framework brother D understands. With that in mind it was impressed yesterday that our current situation is similar to a country A and country B located side by side. One day country B sends half its army to the border of country A. That is not "confirmation" that country B plans to attack country A but should raise country A's readiness posture. Soon after moving half its army, country B then moves its artillery into support range of its army. Again, its not confirmation of anything but it does require an increase in readiness posture for country A. Then country B forward deploys its air assets into strike range of country A. Again, not confirmation they are going to attack but with each new piece of "coincidental" information the picture of what is likely to happen becomes more clear.
So it is with us. Which leads to the next thought the Lord gave brother D. If we forgot names and just talked circumstances what would our assessment be of this situation: A major world leader is going around making peace deals across the world. Specifically and importantly he has made or set forth a peace agreement between Israel and her many enemies that is now being worked out. The guy going around making peace deals is also being given crowns by world leaders. Meanwhile, a red heifer has been sacrificed recently for the first time in over 2000 years (since the second temple was built in 30-70 CE). Wars and rumors of wars continue. Major earthquakes continue to appear on a regular basis. There have recently been major signs in the heavens (great American eclipse finale was last year-2024 with X over America or cross-roads). And this isn't even all of it but if we removed the name Trump and just told you it was some guy what would your conclusion be?
This ^^^ is similar to the fictional setup between country A and country B we discussed previously. The combination of events, and the timing of those events suggest outcomes to us that are not "confirmed" but increase probability which would lead the prudent or wise person to increase their readiness and preparedness posture. So it should be with us.
As we see all of these things take place around us we should be increasing our watchfulness, readiness and or preparedness to meet the Lord our King. He told us how the wise would do this. The wise would be ready to meet the Bridegroom at a moments notice and also be ready to wait however long it took for Him to show up if He delays. We want to be wise which means we need to be ready for the Lord to show up for us at any moment, and at the same time we need to pack a lunch so we are ready to wait however long it takes for Him to show up if He decides to delay.
There are many things we do not know. We should spend more time working on all the things we do know. We do know we should be watching for our Lord's return and as we see events in the world line up suggesting He is at the door, we should all the more double and triple down on our preparedness. What are all the things we would do if we knew for sure the Lord would come back in a few days? We need to be doing those things now. While we have no idea what day or hour the Lord will come back we do know this season is absolutely overflowing with prophetic potential.
This is not rocket science. Love the Lord. Spend time with Him. Do what He tells you to do. Up your life game. Level up your talents, skills and abilities and pray that you will be found in the center of His Will each and every day. Continue to pray for and with all the brothers and sisters in Christ. Do your job. What do you believe you were put here on earth to do? If you dont know, look to the gifts you have been given and to the Spirit of the Lord who put them there. Rise up. Level up. With these remaining days strain toward the very best version of yourself in order to finish the race strong.
The separation that will take place on the day of the harpazo/rapture will be the last phase of an ongoing (meaning now) separation that is taking place invisibly and almost imperceptibly even to those who will be taken in the rapture. Decisions are being made now to forsake this world and all that it has to offer. Decisions are being made now that if the Lord comes back we want to go and the people of this world can have this world, we want our Savior. So the process is already underway. The day of the rapture will just be the final box to check on a long checklist that is being worked through in our days (right now). We are to prepare ourselves to meet our Lord, soon.
"But brother D what if the Lord delays?" Then great, we will be found doing what we were supposed to be doing in a season we expected our Lord to show up. We are prepared to leave, and equally prepared to stay as long as it takes for our Lord to come get us. That is called a win/win situation. This servants understanding is the time between now and Hannukah 2025 is especially rich with potential which means we should up our game during this time. If this season passes and we are still here with prophetic events landing around us left, right and center we do not kick our feet up on the desk and call it "mission accomplished" we continue to work while we watch. We can do this. We will do this with the strength and patience our Lord provides :).
Please join with your brother in praying over the prayer targets today.
Glory to God
grace and peace
