"At A Time That You Think Not"


What do we do with the scripture that says that Jesus will come back at a time that we think not? Doesn't that say that He will probably not come for us on a day that we can pinpoint exactly? I believe with all of my heart that we can know the year, month and so forth because I believe that He will tell those of us who are watching but what about that scripture?? Maybe He'll come for the watching Church before or after the time we think He will, not the day we predict. Or maybe He'll tell us that day when it gets closer. When I was waiting for the Rapture a couple of years ago with everyone else, I asked God to please tell me if He was really coming back on that day and He said to me "The Church is not ready yet." I can't believe it's ready now in spite of how much we think we are and want to go home. That doesn't mean we can't be ready tomorrow but truthfully, I know so many Christians who say "I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I've got too many things I want to do in my life." That attitude more than anything, I think, is keeping Jesus from coming for us. That, plus the fact that there is a great unharvested Harvest out there and most of us have not done any of the things that the first Christians did or loved each other like they did or been willing to die for our Savior. Aren't we supposed to see the Church perfected and without blemish before He comes for us? Sometimes I think that the people on FiveDoves are almost the only ones watching and waiting for the Rapture.
Will He come for so small a group? Please don't get upset with me. I am just voicing questions that I have in my heart. The vision that I had about being raptured last year showed me that there will be many national disasters before and the last thing I witnessed was a Bombing and then we went UP! That hasn't happened yet and I hate to think that it will but it has been confirmed so many times that I am just about positive that that is the way it will happen. I hope I'm wrong. I want to go home more than anything in the world. Peace
