Suzi,

Your posting about the unaccounted for bodies from all the devastating things that have occurred....well my 8 year old son has an alternative view of the rapture and I wanted to share it because of your post.     My son said the word HARPAZO is to snatch out of incoming, immediate danger...like a train is coming and it is about to hit and your rip your child out of harm's way.   He believes that the rapture of the church is like staged evacuations with separate planes coming for people in that area of judgment when the devastation strikes.   The people who die go to hell, and those unaccounted for are raptured.   He believes that the Lord will call out the judgment on that area for their sins, give them a warning, time to repent, and then the judgement.   Sometimes the devil will use HAARP or other means that will carry it out.   But those who are ready will be taken and the ENTIRE bride will be out before the start of the tribulation.   My son is 8 years old and this is his belief.  He says that the rapture occurs in stages like planes coming for a flight and we have different times.   But that since it is subtle, the devil will have his own fake rapture and then mock the church saying that our rapture is a hoax.    He states that the mega earthquake in California is our rapture.   And that we will be driving on the freeway, on an overpass and a red fuel truck will be behind us.   And he will be raptured and so will we...and we will feel like we are falling off the bridge for a second but we will land in Paradise.   He said He saw Jesus dancing and having fun with a group of Hawaiians, who made Him a necklace and crown of flowers and fruits.  

I am ready!   If the rapture is one event or in stages, I am praying for it now!  


P.S. I loved your post about the animals on 4/11 and that you had a petting zoo!   I would love that!   I have never been much of a children person or an animal person until I got married in 2008 and lost my job and been a stay at home mom.   I have changed so much and my spirit is becoming more gentle and less inpatient.   I have a dog, 2 turtles a bird and one son.   The Lord is only giving me small things as I can handle them.   Sad huh, I should have developed more by now but I spent most of my life in the clubs and drinking, living a life of complete sin.
