"rapture"
I don't even know if I can get this out in the mail the
way my computer is working. If this is the year; I believe
the market is going to crash; many major banks are going to fail and a
major war will break out before the end of March. This is how
I have felt since about 25 years ago. If the Rapture doesn't
happen by April's end; I believe it is months or years from now.
I also have to believe the Antichrist has to appear in a matter of weeks
after that war begins-if the time is this year as well. Is
it possible we can identify him just before our "snatching away?"
I don't know. I won't discount any statements about the summer
being the time of the Rapture either; this is just my "gut feeling" on
the subject. Even if we can see who it is; once the financial
system collapses and we are unable to get money out of the bank; our greedy
and materialistic culture will soon col! lapse o n itself-I would certainly
expect martial law; and a total breakdown of society to ensue.
Like; say you could have a matter of fact talk with someone about this
subject today; give it a few weeks of breakdown in this country and there
will be few; I mean FEW who will listen.
While I am on the subject of who we are to talk to let
me "borrow" some of the wisdom of others; who have talked of how hell has
no children in it (according to all accounts I have heard-and I certainly
believe God waits until an age of accountability for that sort of judgment).
I have to believe that Satan is going to really wage full scale warfare
on the very young-pre teens in particular to accept the mark of the beast
in coming years. After all kids get credit cards; colleges
are letting not only co-ed dorms but co-ed INDIVIDUAL rooms in such places
today. Unfortunately; the morality of the older generations
today seems to let me down a lot--so my point is this; sow the seeds there.
If we are to see some real last minute "11th hour" believers who will be
raptured out of here I would feel strongly that these are the ones to reach.
I definitely believe that the Spirit of God is what we
are to trust in for our needs; whatever material wealth has been accumulated
will soon be of little value. That being said it is certainly
wise to have provisions; extra money; food; etc. for if WE aren't here
surely there are those left behind who will have some use for that stuff
for a time before it is declared worthless (and gold and silver are cast
into the streets; etc.) I am a person who tried to accumulate
some financial wealth through coin collections over the years; if I had
trusted more in God I wouldn't have had to sell my stuff as often and would
have made several thousand dollars instead of just a few hundred in recent
years with the value of silver doubling in that period of time.
Interestingly; it seems that values have fallen (the better part of 2 dollars
an ounce for silver in the past week alone; despite the market going down
some 500 points or so! . In short; I felt God give me
some idea of when to invest money in coins; but since I didn't have enough
wisdom and guts to give more to God over the years; I lost more than I
gained it seems.
At any rate; we can expect famine in this country followed
by the other seal judgments; such as disease and yes; even martyrdom in
a matter of months after the Rapture occurs (although I could still see
the worst things happening at first in the Middle East nations).
Despite all this of course I have to look at other possibilities; such
as the 2000 years of grace being counted as beginning at Christ's crucifixion/ressurection-throwing
the timeline off another 20 years or so.
I wanted to reiterate the fact that with all dispensations;
God chooses to end whatever the age is with the downfall of the system
of worship; until He rules-and as with the rule of law; the time of the
Kings of Israel; the original age of innocence; this age of grace has to
end with failure; in fact the churches of today will be those of Antichrist
worship in the future! It is His people where His Spirit lives
and breathes; and as Sheri Vance (sorry if the name is off a bit here)
has mentioned; and others have stated we are to leave our tents (outer
body) to be with Christ and put on a new body. We all have
to look at ourselves if we want to be worthy for the Rapture; I believe
this and many others do as well. As we allow His Spirit and
our love for God alone to be our standard we cannot play games with sin!
Maybe it is my own wickedness; I don't know-we are certainly our own worst
enemies. ! ; Sometimes it takes time to understand what is causing
whatever is distracting our minds and hearts from fully walking in the
Spirit but we have got to do it. It seems to be easier
(I like to think so anyway) for others I know to walk with Christ; but
God is worthy; are we willing to be all we want him to be?
The article about Nisan 10-well it is interesting; the
best writing I have seen by this individual; I would urge her to hurry
up and get out the rest of her notes! If He is coming
soon it is important wisdom if not I am sure God will give her more wisdom.
What is interesting for me is that I prayed a while back for a one month
warning before He comes; and I read that article on Feb 28th; calling for
a possible March 29 rapture. I am afraid I am like that guy
in Sodom and Gomorrah; I am going to ask for more signs; say a 10 day warning;
7 day warning and like 24 hour warning I will seriously have to be outside
somewhere if that happens!!!
In Him; Rich P.
