"Things I have been pondering over about the rapture and the Jewish people."


Things I have been pondering over about the rapture and the Jewish people.

As I set at my computer thinking about the things that could happen and looking at the dates and reading all the articles on the different web sites I have to believe there is a very good chance that something could or will happen. RAPTURE hopefully!!!

Could it be that  23-24 of May we would see Is. 17:, Jer. 50:-51:, and Ps. 83: happen on those dates, then on the 27th of May the rapture happen just seconds before all hell break loose – I think so.

I have been watching waiting and anticipating the rapture to happen for many years. Now, to me, it looks like we are about to cross the finish line the 27th of May, or at least I hope so because of being so tired of all the things that is happening, and all the things that are being wrongfully said.

It looks as if Israel has it back against the wall and there is no getting away from a major war happening.

It looks if no one will be coming to Israel aide. Once again they are going to have to go it alone.

Thank G-d for people like Rev. John Hagee, Jerry Golden and the many others that are trying their best to do what they can for Israel even thou they may have the slip of the tongue once in awhile. At least they are trying where the ones that criticize aren’t doing a thing but criticizing.

A person ask me one time if I though a Christian was a Christian if they hated the Jews people? I said I don’t believe anyone that hates anyone is a Christian especially hating the Jewish people. The Bible says He (G-d) will bless though who blesses the Jewish people and curse though who cruse the Jewish people. It also says for those who trouble themselves with Israel will be cut in pieces. So I say if anyone that hates Israel and the Jewish people are they Christian? The Bible says not.

As I listen to people and read what they say about how much they love the Jewish people then turn right around and say things that isn’t scriptural – makes me to believe they don’t have the Christian love that G-d has for Israel and the Jewish people.

I love Israel and the Jewish people so much that I would go over there and fight right along side them, and if it meant being killed – I say so what!

I heard a person said one time (talking about the Jews) those dumb Jews, will they ever learn! I think we need to be very careful in what we say – it is only the mercy of G-d that we are what we are, and who we are.

Of all the people of the world that we would know G-d in the way we do. We need to be thankful for who we are and what we are, not criticizing those who may fall short once in awhile, especially those who are in serving the L-rd. We need to reach out to them without having a critical spirit. Again, I say lets have some understanding with those who are under pressure because they are in a war zone, and don’t know when the next bomb might fall on them or family and friends.

They get all kinds of hate mail. After getting so much of it they to are human, and may say some things that aren’t that kosher to our thinking  

The world is turning its back more and more against Israel even many in the church is doing the same.

I pray to G-d that we here on 5Doves don’t turn our back on the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.

I know that I don’t want to be cut up into little pieces because of having a bad attitude toward Israel and the Jewish people which G-d says will happen.

I can see if Israel and the Jewish people do some big time thing wrong, but for the world especially the church go against Israel and the Jewish people without a cause is hard for me to understand. That is the thing that is going to bring judgment on those who even hate Israel and the Jewish people even a little bit.

I have been going to a Baptist Church, but I don’t believe in OSAS. I believe that our salvation is conditional and not unconditional. Now I’m not wanting to stir up a very controversial subject, that isn’t my intent whatsoever, only to say if there are those who believe they can say and do things that isn’t right, and believe it doesn’t matter I afraid they are in for a big surprise. 

If we believe we have a license to sin, and believe it won’t matter - again I believe the Bible says we are in for a big surprise.

My Baptist Pastor friend - we both know a man that does about any thing that is sinful. My Baptist pastor said to me that he believe that that man would make it at the time of the rapture, but lost rewards. As I thought about what he said, I thought if this man can make the rapture, then any sinner can. I don’t believe he won’t make the rapture, or even make heaven because of his sinful ways, unless he repents like the many of us have had to do.

Now I said all the above to say we need to make sure we are doing and saying all the right things, and not believing it won’t matter because it will matter. 

In the book of Hebrew it says to willfully sin there is no forgiveness. We don’t want to find our self doing that, now do we?

I say if there are those who aren’t watching won’t make the rapture as many of us believe, then how much more those who are saying and doing wrongful things won’t make the rapture or even heaven. When we stand before G-d we best have it right because it will matter regardless what OSAS believes.
