"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
