Hmmm..... PROPHETIC??!!
 
   A Catholic man was being interviewed on our local news station -- talking of how great it was to meet the pope 4-5 times in his life time.
 
  And.....
 
  he made the comment that, "April will be a SIGNIFICANT month
 
  when we go from "one shepherd" to "another".
 
   Now obviously, he was referring to the selection of a new pope.
 
  But that comment just struck me as rather PROPHETIC..... and it very well COULD BE!!!
 
  April is the month of Passover; and regardless whether the rapture happens then or not, we are right smack in the HEIGHT of the rapture season right now!!   It could even happen before Passover.
 
  I believe Jesus has a time appointed and I know He will be right on time.  I am still extremely hopeful for this very spring.  I feel things are just fitting together too well on the prophetic calendar for it to not "be soon".  We are not in darkness so that day will not overtake us like a thief..... and we CAN SEE the day approaching!
 
  I'm not saying it HAS to happen this way ~ but that it's "possible" the rapture might even occur before the next pope is selected.  1. this might have a HUGE bearing on WHO the next selected pope would be {may turn out to be a traitor ~ thus, enter the false prophet}and2. as the pope tends to be a major religious leader, not only among the RC's, but seems to have the respect of the WHOLE WORLD, and if the rapture happened without a pope in power --  this would cause such a frantic upside down mess - -- but this would give the MULTITUDES {Revelation 7:9,14}   a reason to turn to the Lord *then*!!   {guess the way I'm thinking is -- esp. if the left behind people of the world did not have a "leader" to turn to at the moment of the rapture, then hopefully that would give them cause to turn to Jesus at that time..... thus, the MULTITUDES who will be saved during the tribulation.......   just my rambling thoughts....... may or may not happen like this}   But yes, I do believe the rapture could indeed be THIS CLOSE upon us. 
 
  Advice for all of us:   Let's keep oil in those lamps!  Stay awake.  Stay in the Word.  Keep Jesus as our first love.  Look up!  Encourage each other with the words of our Blessed Hope.~ as we watch, wait, and work together!
 to bring in the Sheaves..... and to prepare to meet Jesus face to face.   ......."I can only imagine!"
 
  Will the words, "April will be a SIGNIFICANT month, when we go from one Shepherd to another" turn out to be prophetic??   Keep looking up. 
 
 and ~ Big time Maranatha!
