Rosh Hashanah

Today is the last day of Rosh Hashanah. At sundown today, Rosh Hashanah 2008 will be complete. I highly suggest that each of you remember the times we are living in, review your relationship with the Lord, and be watching and ready on this last day of Rosh Hashanah 2008. I had not seen this video before but one of the brothers sent it to me via email this morning.

Signs in the heavens? Yea. I'm not sure what else could be done to get your attention. I have reason to believe that ALL HELL is about to break loose on or about Yom Kippur 2008.

When is Yom Kippur in 2008?
Yom Kippur in 2008 is on Thursday, the 9th of October.
Note that in the Jewish calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Jews will celebrate Yom Kippur on the sunset of Wednesday, the 8th of October.


I've told you before, I am not a prophet, I have not received a dream, or vision or word from the Lord about the timing of the rapture. I have received a JOB TO DO from the Lord, thats what I'm doing and will continue to do. Did you watch the videos above? Signs in the heavens prove how short time actually is. Look around you, use your eyes and ears. We came very close this week to the entire financial system collapsing in ONE DAY. Do you know what that would have meant? Just because you woke up to business as usual this morning does'nt mean you have many more mornings that will be the same. The rapture of the church has always been imminent, but today....these days...its off the charts.

Is it possible that at sunset tonight, at the last possible moment, each person who is "in Christ" who is watching and ready will be translated? It is possible. The Lord is patient with us, not wanting any to perish. The Lord has given me an assignment. My assignment is NOT to tell you when the rapture will occur. My assignment is to spotlight the apostasy of the babylonian form of churchianity in our world today and WARN anyone who will listen that TIME IS SHORT. If you are reading this, then you have been warned.

There are those outside of us, who are not in Christ, who think that we pre-tribulation believers thumb our noses at the world as we prepare to leave it. That attitude shows just how clueless they are. I'm prepared to leave this world behind when our master comes for us. I HATE this world and the things of the world. This place will get you killed, with an ETERNAL death. There are so many traps, so many pitfalls, so many things that can lead you astray. If that were not enough theres this person called Satan, with an army who actively assist this world in attempting to kill you, steal from you, and destroy you. This applies to ALL who live on earth. Knowing this, my heart breaks for people, I'm not thumbing my nose at anyone. I can feel the flames licking my heels every step that I take. Things could not be any more serious than they are today. EVERYTHING IS AT STAKE. Billions of people are about to die, the opening salvo of the tribulation over 2 billion perish. This is very very sobering. I can assure you, I believe every word that our Fathers Spirit has written. We are on the verge of leaving this world. When exactly, I don't know. I have been told, and you have been told all that you need to know. What's that? We must be watching and ready. Do I sound like a broken record? Yea, sorry, I'm just doing my job.

You do not need to be a prophet to look around and take stock of the situation. What is the situation as things stand TODAY.

There are signs in the sun and moon that point to Jesus' second coming in 2015. Back seven years out of that and what do you get? A possible pre-trib rapture in 2008. I am not setting dates, I am reading the signs given to us and using 1st grade math skills. What if the rapture does'nt happen in 2008? Does'nt matter. We can stop watching and being ready when Jesus comes for us. I'm sure that the Lord has a date pegged, but I don't know exactly which day it is.

The financial system of this world is teetering on the verge of collapse. This is a designed collapse to bring in the new world financial order people are already calling for, which oh by the way, will also be the system which forces people to take the mark of the beast or perish.

We are on the verge of world war. Watch the news. Yesterday Russian bombers were 90 seconds outside of british airspace, the russian navy has sent ships to the carribean, russian bombers landed in Venezuela last week. Russian defense spending is scheduled to increase by 50% next year. The chinese military has been modernizing. Israel has already said that it will not allow iran to have a nuclear weapon, which means Israel will have to take out Irans nuclear reactor militarily. Iran, syria, hezbollah have signed a defense pact and Russia has said that an attack on Iran is like an attack on Russia. Over the past 8 years president Bush has used presidential directives to make the implementation of martial law in America lawful at the drop of a hat. Even today, the president could declare a "national financial emergency" and declare martial law at the same time, it would be perfectly legal as things stand now.

How many times will people have to get back stabbed by other men before they STOP TRUSTING IN MAN. I'm not sure what else the Lord would have to do to get some people's attention. People are weighed down by the anxieties of life. People look to other people to solve all their problems. Year after year, people tell each other that they have to vote for "the lesser of the EVILS because none of the choices are good" yet they never stop to think, why do I have to constantly choose between the evils of this world? "Get out and vote" the babylonian pastors tell you...you ever see Jesus or the apostles vote for worldly leaders? Jesus is our king, period. We serve a king and a kingdom thats NOT OF THIS WORLD. Anyone who tells you differently BELONGS TO THIS WORLD. Give unto caesar that which is caesars, give unto the Lord that which is the Lord's.

Don't get fearful, don't get worried, don't get weighed down by the worries of this world. GET READY. Spend your remaining days LOVING, warn people, snatch people out of the fire. As opposed to todays babylonian form of christianity, Jesus never forced his message down anyones throat. Thats not how he works. Read your bible, Jesus didnt go to the lepers he cured, they came to him, Jesus didnt go to the centurian, they came to him, Jesus didnt try to convert the thief hanging on the cross beside him, the thief came to Jesus. WAKE UP. We are saved by God's grace, its his gift to us, we accept his grace THROUGH FAITH. People walk away from Gods gift of grace every day. We are living in the last hours before the tribulation, time is short. I suggest each of you sit down and figure out what needs to be done before all hell breaks loose. The absolute first thing that needs to be on that list is a check to determine if you are "in the faith." Paul said we should test ourselves to determine if we remain in the faith. The once saved always saved liars will get you killed. TEST YOURSELVES. JUDGE YOURSELVE before Jesus has to do it for you. You can do this the easy way or the hard way. The easy way if for you to take a HARD LOOK AT YOURSELF and make the changes that need to be made. If you don't need to make changes then HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU HAVE SO NO ONE WILL TAKE YOUR CROWN. Rev 3:10 Because 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. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Why would Jesus warn you about someone trying to take your crown if it were secure forever as the OSAS heretics would have you believe? Jesus specifically warned you about who? MEN who WILL ATTEMPT TO STEAL your crown....MEN. Satan and his servants will attempt to steal anything they can from you, they will attempt to kill you until the moment you leave this earth or die on it. WAKE UP, time is short. Love, grace and peace to all of you who are in Christ.

Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is the only time during the year that I've seen any reason to step up our watchfulness and preparedness (from high to extremely high) for Jesus to come back. The Jewish feasts were given to men for a reason, to remember what God has done, and to keep in mind what he's going to do in the future.

Rosh Hashanah 2008 started at nightfall last night and ends at nightfall tomorrow evening. We will be halfway through it tonight at sundown. Jesus is going to come back when the Father tells him to. We are told to be watching and ready. This says it perfectly:

Matt 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Watch, be ready...Why? Because at an hour that you think not, that's when Jesus will show up. I have no idea which day and hour Jesus is going to show up, but I know that you and I can watch and be ready. Seems to me, the days we live in make it easier than ever to keep our eyes on the sky. Yesterday the stock market took the largest one day dive EVER. Events like this should keep us focused. MANY people are getting weighed down by the anxieties of life. Life savings are being robbed by the rich at the expense of the common man, so what? On the day Jesus shows up for us, IT WONT MATTER how much money was in your bank accounts. Yea, today it matters, and if you know Jesus and Jesus knows you, he'll take care of you like he always has. I have seen the God I serve part the red sea in my life. I have seen at least 1 miracle, personally. I have also seen an innumerable number of smaller acts of love and kindness directed toward me and my family by the Creator of the universe. My God is real. He is the God you can find in the bible for yourself. I recommend NOT taking mens words for who he is, you need to find out about him FOR YOURSELF. Most people don't care enough to do that so they participate in Jiffy Lube Christianity, getting "serviced" weekly by hired hand nicolaitan pastors.

Rosh Hashanah 2008 is a time for increased watchfulness and readiness. Think about how perfect the timing is right now for the rapture. The entire world is tuned into whats going on with the crashing financial markets. Those who are of this world would be blindsided completely. That does'nt mean that Jesus will come back today or tomorrow, no man knows the day or hour, but if he does, we should be ready for it. One thing many people agree on is: the tribulation is coming SOON. I never see disagreement on that. If the tribulation is as close as everyone thinks it is and IF the rapture is pre-tribulation, what does that mean? How much time is left? Not much.

What an exciting time to be alive. Think about the implications of these things. The moment you come into Jesus presence as a believer, all your troubles are OVER. Your mind cannot comprehend how good its going to be. Your heart will throb with joy. Think about how you'd feel if you just won the largest lottery jackpot ever. Then multiply that feeling by a thousand. Because we are such weak creatures, its hard to grasp these things, BUT THEY ARE COMING. Things are about to get REALLY GOOD for some people, those who are watching and ready. Things are about to get UNBELIEVABLY BAD FOR OTHERS. The next event we should be looking for is the escape of the church. That event is pictured throughout the bible and I believe we are alive to see it happen any time now, perhaps today.

We should be on extreme rapture watch throughout today and tomorrow. If Jesus does not come back for us over these two days, WE WERE WATCHING AND READY, right? Then what? We continue to watch and be ready, realizing how short time is. Take any opportunities you can to do good and move our Lord's kingdom forward. Our Father, who art in heaven, blessed be your name. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE!!!!!! here on earth as it is in heaven. Watching the greed and corruption in this world makes me long for his kingdom in a big way. The hardships of this world, this present time of distress can turn a man either toward the world, or toward the kingdom of heaven. Where people turn during times like this shows you where their heart is. Jesus is about to show up and so called pastors like Chuck Baldwin are running for president, other hired hand pastors are telling people to vote for either one of the other two presidential wannabes. As if it matters? These men speak from the viewpoint of the world. Their fixes for everything come from the world. What does that tell you about these men? THEY ARE OF THIS WORLD. We are not. Our kingdom is not of this world, we are looking for solutions that are not of this world. The two viewpoints are light-years apart.

Time is short, Jesus could come back today. I've been bugging him, "Lord, is it today? Are you coming back today?" Be a good soldier, watch in every season, be watching, be ready..thats the answer I get :-)

love to you all, grace and peace

Tonight at Sundown

Tonight at sundown, Rosh Hashanah observance begins.

What do we know about Rosh Hashanah 2008?

1. We know that so called christianity is in FULL BLOWN APOSTASY

2. We know that Rosh Hashanah is also known as the feast of trumpets, which is also known as the "day and hour that no man knoweth"

3. We know that the Lord is coming back for us during "normal" days. As we look around at the world today, many of us see an increasingly abnormal world. The bible says For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. We know that Jesus is coming back in "pre-flood" days. Normal days appear to be running out, what does that mean? TIME IS SHORT.

4. We know that the day Noah entered the ark, the flood began, so we know the day the rapture occurs, the "flood" begins. The rapture is the trigger that begins the tribulation, just as Noah entering the Ark and Lot leaving Sodom were the triggers for judgement to begin (Matt 24, Luke 17).

5. We DO NOT KNOW whether Jesus comes back for us during the feast known as the "day and hour no man knoweth" (feast of trumpets) OR whether Jesus comes back on any old ordinary day. Either would fit, HOWEVER, ask yourself this question: if all the spring feasts were fulfilled literally, to the day by Jesus, and the next feast day to be fulfilled literally IS the feast of trumpets which oh by the way STARTS TONIGHT, what would the fulfillment of that feast day entail if it was not the rapture? There just are'nt any good answers to that question. We are told to be watching in EVERY SEASON, not just this season. The Lord has left it wide open, but he has given some of his servants HIS PRECIOUS SPIRIT, which is no small help in our readiness.

6. Jesus COULD come back for his bride tonight, or tomorrow night, yes he certainly could. Lots and lots of Rosh Hashanah observances have passed and Jesus did not come back on any of them. Could he come back during the feast of trumpets 2008? Yea, he could.

7. Read the news guys. I know its depressing, and I know much of it consists of lies and fabrications, however, the things we read do serve as a barometer for our times. The weather is changing for this world, the anti-christs kingdom is being setup right before our eyes.

8. Most people are not looking or are not ready for Jesus to show up today. Watching is great, but its not enough, you've got to be READY. Read Matt 25 again, all the virgins went out to meet the bridegroom, but half had to turn back, they were'nt ready. What does being ready mean? That question can only be answered by Jesus, and he will only answer you personally if you ask him. You are THE BRIDE. He is THE BRIDEGROOM. This is about intimacy, his bride is PRECIOUS TO HIM. Jesus LOVES THE BRIDE, but she must make herself ready. Do NOT DISAPPOINT THE BRIDEGROOM. He loves you, but he is a just and righteous God and he does'nt play games. Your hired hand nicolaitan pastors have lied to you and sold you down the river. It does'nt make an ounce of difference that your pastor is a "nice guy." Nice guys and gals have gone to hell by the bushel. "Nice" does'nt cut it. Faithful and obedient is what it takes, and the first step at being faithful and obedient for todays so called pastors is to REJECT the idolatrous pastoral system that they are part of. Anything, and I mean ANYTHING that encroaches on Jesus place as HEAD OF THE CHURCH is idolatrous and WICKED. There's no time left, UNLEARN everything any man has ever told you and get alone with Jesus. Beg him to give you his Spirit so you may learn the way you ought to.

9. Jesus could come back for his bride tonight, would you be watching and ready? I've been asking the Lord to give me something, anything more to give to you and the only thing I can say I have is an unshakeable, gut level knowledge that darkness is moving in, and time is short for this world. The world is about to become a demonic playground. Things on earth are about to turn upside down. Here's an example of what's coming:

Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken

Things are about to "come on the earth" as a result of "powers of heaven" being shaken. These things coming ON THE EARTH will cause mens hearts to fail them out of FEAR. Try the demonic, fallen angels being shaken from their places in the heavens and COMING ON THE EARTH. It does'nt matter what disguises or lack of disguises these fallen angels use, the sight of them is going to cause fear.....fear enough to make mens hearts fail them. Think that through for awhile. Sometimes, many times the truth IS stranger than fiction. Is this world ready for the devil and his angels? Yea, it is. This place is a cesspool of wickedness, lust and violence. Good is called evil and evil is called good. It's utterly sickening. I don't sugarcoat my words, but neither did Jesus. The bible says that we should have ZEAL for the Lord and his kingdom.

Time is short. Its taken me decades to figure out what the Lord would have me do for him, and I think I've got it sorted. The mission assigned to me by our commander in chief is to floodlight the apostasy of the church and warn people of what's coming. That's it. There is a FIRE that burns within me, and its not of me. This fire has JESUS on its mind, all the time. Remember this, the message has nothing to do with the messenger. We are all ambassadors of our kingdom. A kingdom that we pray will come soon. A kingdom NOT OF THIS WORLD. Ambassadors convey the messages of their kingdom. The message of the kingdom has not changed, its been the same for a very long time. That message is:

1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

The kingdom at heaven IS at hand..are you ready for it? grace and peace

Tomorrow Evening at Sundown

Tomorrow evening at sundown, Rosh Hashanah begins for observant Jews. What stands out about Rosh Hashanah is that its the 2 days out of the year desscribed as "the day and hour no man knoweth." So, we have all the rest of the days of the year, and rosh hashanah. I plan to be watching and ready should Jesus return during the next couple of days, I encourage you to do the same.

I asked the Lord last night if he would tell me. I asked him "are you coming back during rosh hashanah 2008? How much longer Lord?" I believe the answer was: he's going to tell us when the event is right on top of us, but no sooner. It's going to happen like it did for the 10 virgins in Matt 25. Notice, all the virgins were awakened with Matt 25:6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him. 7 'then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps, 8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out.

Then rose ALL those virgins. So they all rose up, but here's the thing, half of them, the foolish, had no oil in their lamps....no Holy Spirit. The greek word used to describe their condition is sbennumi sben'-noo-mee: to extinguish -- go out, quench. TO EXTINGUISH.

Here's the thing about the timing, all the virgins rose, half were found lacking and went to "buy" some oil. Then the bridegroom came and took the virgins who were ready into the wedding. My point is THERE WAS TIME for the foolish to run off and attempt "to buy" more oil, BUT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME for them to make it into the wedding with the bridegroom. Same thing with Noah, he was given notice before he went into the ark, Lot had to walk out of Sodom before fire could destroy the place. So...we might have some kind of a "wake up" call, then a little bit of time before " in a twinkling of an eye" we are translated.

From the time that we "get notice" till the time we translate, there's NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GET READY......you have to BE READY ALREADY. The point here for the foolish virgins is: they WILL KNOW THEY MISSED IT. Matt 25: 11 and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us; 12 and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you. 13 'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.

"The rest" of the virgins will come knocking, and Jesus will tell them I HAVE NOT KNOWN YOU" or....I NEVER KNEW YOU, I DON'T KNOW YOU --you get the point.

We are told to be watching at EVERY SEASON, not just during Rosh Hashanah. But every season INCLUDES rosh hashanah, so we should be watching, in my opinion, ESPECIALLY WATCHING during the next few days. Watching during EVERY season, is not easy. Staying on high alert for Jesus return ALL THE TIME is hard, but Jesus has'nt left us hanging. Those who have their "oil" topped off, will be watching and ready. How can you fall asleep at the wheel with a FIRE burning inside you?

My job is to warn you, to encourage you. You have been warned, so have I. Let's kick up our watchfullness during the next few days, lets be ready for Jesus should he return. Let's not stop there, we have to FINISH what we started. The finish line for our watchfulness and readiness is when Jesus shows up.

Look around you, talk to people. Almost everyone agrees that something BIG is about to happen. Everyone has a different opinion on what that big thing is. The point is, BIG THINGS ARE COMING. The entire financial system is about to collapse, world war 3 is on the horizon, martial law is likely in the United States, if Obama does'nt win the presidency, there will probably be race riots all over the country, the anti-christ is about to show up, theres no gasoline over a large section of the SE united states, natural disasters are getting bigger and deadlier, the list goes on and on. None of the things I list up there bother me in the least. Why? Whether I am in heaven or on earth, the answer to ALL my problems are "in Christ." HE is the answer to everything you face. Jesus is our PRIZED POSSESSION on earth, and in heaven. Heaven WOULD NOT BE HEAVEN without Jesus. He's the answer guys, get right with him today, stay right with him today. The end of all things is staring us in the face. Love, grace and peace

3 Days at Sundown

In 3 days, on Sept 29 at sundown, Rosh Hashanah begins. Will the rapture of the bride of christ happen? I don't know. What I do know is that The feast of trumpets is the next of the Jewish feasts to be literally fulfilled by the Son of God. Our master did not give the jewish feasts to the jews as some kind of party schedule, or something to do to keep them busy. He gave them the feasts as part of the revelation of his plan for humanity. With that in mind, lets do a quick Jewish feast review:

The feast days of ancient Israel are comprised of the spring feasts of:

Passover-The lamb for the Passover celebration is selected on the 10th day of 1st month, and Jesus was hailed as Messiah on His triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the exact day of the 10th of Nisan

Feast of Unleavened Bread-On the day after the weekly Sabbath during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Firstfruits offering is made before God as a wave offering of a sheaf of the spring harvest. Jesus was raised from the dead and ascended to heaven on the exact day of Firstfruits, 3 days after being crucified.

Firstfruits, and Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks (Shauvot)-On Pentecost (Shauvot), the two loaves of bread made from the spring harvest are waved before God at the altar. Exactly on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was poured out on born-again believers, the result of the shed blood of the Lamb and the accepted offering on Firstfruits

ALL THESE SPRING FEASTS^^^^HAVE BEEN FULFILLED TO THE EXACT DAY.

The fall feasts include:

the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah)
the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
and the Feast of Booths or Tabernacles (Sukkot or the Feast of Ingathering).
All of these feast days are laid out in Leviticus 23.

All of the spring feasts have been fulfilled to the exact day. The next feast to be fulfilled is the Feast of Trumpets, which is the ONLY FEAST WE CANNOT KNOW THE EXACT DAY OR HOUR.

Many people have predicted when the rapture will occur over the years and they have all been wrong. My position on this is: THERE IS NO NEED TO PREDICT THE DAY THE RAPTURE WILL OCCUR. The Lord gave us a clear command, telling us what he expects us to do. He expects us to be watching, and he expects us to be ready when he shows up. Why is it important to be watching and ready TODAY? Because regardless of when the rapture happens, you might not live to see tomorrow. Look around you, the world is coming apart before your eyes. Why am I counting down to Rosh Hashanah 2008? Because I think a VERY plausible argument can be made for a pre-trib rapture on Rosh Hashanah, based on the words used to describe the rapture, the feast of trumpets and the marriage of the lamb. The pieces fit, and I see absolutely no conflict, there are no "inconvenient" truths that need to be overlooked for the rapture to occur on Rosh Hashanah. I am 100% convinced that the rapture will be pre-trib. Luke 21:36 says that there IS an escape from ALL thats about to happen. ALL is a VERY EXPANSIVE BIG WORD. It covers ALOT of ground. Jesus described for us what ESCAPE ALL means. Escape ALL for Noah (Matt 24) meant that he was PHYSICALLY SEPARATED FROM THE FLOOD BEFORE A SINGLE DROP OF RAIN EVER FELL. Noah was 100% untouched by the flood judgement, he was physically removed from wrath, taken into the ark. That's what ESCAPE ALL MEANS. Jesus explained what ESCAPE ALL means by giving us the story of LOT in Luke 17. Lot was PHYSICALLY REMOVED from Sodom BEFORE ANY HINT OF JUDGEMENT showed up on Sodom. That's what ESCAPE ALL MEANS.

Now, WE ARE PROMISED AN ESCAPE. Open your eyes and look around you. Is this world about to get hit with the Lord's wrath? Look at it REAL HARD. You tell me, is this world transforming into the tribulation world prophesied to come? Can you see the one world government forming? Can you see the one world currency forming? Can you see the SICKENING CHRISTIAN APOSTASY? The Philidelphia church is promised to be kept PHYSICALLY AWAY FROM (GREEK "EK") "THE" HOUR OF TRIAL. What does the Lord tell us about the church that gets to escape the hour of trial? ITS WEAK. Why is it weak? Because there are FEW and its SCATTERED.

The mission the Lord has given me is to put a floodlight on the wickedness and apostasy of so called christianity, and to warn people of the coming wrath. The next feast day is an opportunity for you and I to practice watchfulness and readiness. We are soldiers. Soldiers train, soldiers persevere, soldiers march on, whether they feel like it or not. Soldiers endure hardship. Rosh Hashanah 2008 is a "watch, pray and be ready" training event. I am not sure that the Lord will come back for us on Rosh Hashanah 2008, HOWEVER, I am sure that I want to be watching, and ready on the day he shows up . Don't you? One of these days HE WILL SHOW UP. On that day, on that hour, will you be watching? Will you be ready? That's what this is all about.

If you are watching and ready over Rosh Hashanah 2008 and the Lord comes for us, will you be glad you were doing what the Lord told you to do like a good and faithful servant? If the Lord does not come during Rosh Hashanah 2008 will you be glad you were doing what the Lord told you to do like a good and faithful servant? We are told to be watching and ready at all times. There are some who call themselves servants of the Lord who ARE saying in their heart that the Lord will delay his coming until some event or other is fulfilled. Specifically these people are the mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib crowd. What does the bible say about those who say to themselves "the Lord is tarrying?" Look it up. Many so called christians these days are so in bed with the world that they have NO IDEA that the Lord is about to show up, NONE. Will they be found worthy to escape all thats about to happen? What does the bible say about getting caught up in "the anxieties of life?"

34 'And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you, 35 for as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land, 36 watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'

Are people these days caught up in "ANXIETIES OF LIFE?" Are you kidding me? Read the news. Jesus said to TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES or "that day" is going to come on you LIKE A SNARE. "That day" refers to a day when the rapture occurs AND the day of the Lord starts. BOTH ON THE SAME DAY. Now realize this...the "day" of the Lord LASTS MORE THAN ONE DAY. So, we're talking about the same "time frame."

Some items to think about: As things continue to get worse in this world, I believe the probability that the rapture occurs goes up. Why? As things get worse, people tend to look to God for relief, which means they tend to "tune in" to him more than when things are going well. Most people won't be watching or ready when Jesus comes. Read Matt 7:14 and look up everywhere in the bible that "remnant" is used. Most people don't "get it" only a few do...a remnant, over and over and over again. Not a popular message, which is why you never hear it.

Also, Luke 17 and Matt 24 both tell us that the Lord is coming back during days characterized by "eating, drinking, marrying, planting, building" Those are indicitive of NORMAL DAYS. If the Lord was going to come back for his bride during the tribulation, why would'nt he give us "plague, famine, death, disease, the anti-christ, war" etc etc to characterize the days?

You need to figure out where you stand on things in a hurry. There's no time left. Do not trust me, do not trust other men, pick up your bible and read it. Ask Jesus to give you his spirit that you may understand what he is saying to this world TODAY. In a world full of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Grace and peace
