you mention: we all feel that something is going
on. Has anyone felt
this also?
and yes, I concur ~ same thing
here! Same feelings also.
I've always been sensitive to
things going on in the heavenlies & even feel (in physical body) feel out of
sorts & can actually tell when something big in the spiritual world is going
on. Just feel extremely tense and "out of whack" ~ can't do a good job
explaining. Then one evening a few nights ago, my DH mentioned he was feeling
the same way. And even our SUPER-CALM (by nature!) dog was feeling "agitated"
during the same 24 hour time frame.
Soo.... something is definitely
going on.
I just keep
hoping/watching/expecting the rapture ANY DAY, Mechelle! ~ and try to not get
caught up in the Pentecost fever...... it could be "Pentecost SEASON" for that
matter...... and not nec. right ON Pentecost!
Overall, I try to not get too
caught up in dates at all..... b/c I KNOW the disappointment/"big let
down" you feel! Then it's easy to start questioning the Lord &
wondering if He will be true to His word that He Who is coming WILL come &
will not delay {I confess, being frail & human, it already seems like a big
delay to me....... I've been watching my whole life... always knowing it would
happen in my lifetime, and I've been steadily watching with keen interest daily
for the past 10 years.} Each time, all would SEEM good to go & I'd call ~
"well, this is it, folks!" ~ only to be wrong time & time again. Soon,
people get to thinking you're an idiot & no one listens any more anyway (and
yes, I'm referring to CHRISTIANS)
Some watchers like the
date-setting, saying it helps them to stay "focused"; and while I understand
that; I'm more like you -- it disappoints me terribly {I can't help wondering if
people stumble because of it! And if so, then IMHO, no one should ever set or
rather guess dates.} I'll also admit -- the same ones who claim we CAN KNOW the
date..... are generally the same ones to call out a "new date" every few months
or so.... when their orig. guess didn't pan. Believe me, I'm not pointing
fingers ~ I've been just as guilty.
But overall, I am convicted that
we should not "place bets on the lottery" so to speak ~ and call out or guess
dates..... esp, if there's a chance it could cause someone to stumble or to
question the Lord. (OR to say even in one's heart: "my Lord DELAYETH His
coming"!! ~ big time yikes! See Luke 12)
IMO, it all hinges on Israel
anyway -- and whatever date is guessed is generally presumed it's for readers in
the U.S. ~ when it's all together a different time in Israel & other parts
of the world.
At any rate, hang in there!
We're all hanging in there.
We hope, hope, HOPE this IS it!!
It surely seems like it is this time, but we will only know for sure
once we are standing on that cloud staring face to Face with our
Savior!
Reva
P.S. I am in no way lamblasting
the Pentecost/spring watchers.... as if it does NOT happen this spring, then
generally everyone will land on Rosh Hashana ~ tee-hee ~ happens every year!
And John said something profound and yet funny one time when someone asked him
which way he leaned ~ I forget exact words, but something to the fact that it
depended on which season we were closer to! *big smile*
[Ha ha ...... did I say that, Reva? More like Jim, I think. But I agree. :)
John ]
Me, I fancy myself more of a
spring time watcher mostly! Several reasons ~ inc. the fact that Is. 17:5
(Damascus kaboom) sounds like it happens in summer..... so if the rapture is
before then (the normalcy of the Days of Noah), then it only stands to reason --
in my thinking anyway -- that we'll be going in the spring.
Also consider -- mid-trib Jews who
are told to FLEE (get outta' Dodge so to speak) and not to even as much go
inside their homes to grab a jacket.... is there a REASON they would NEED a coat
or a jacket? ...... as in that reason being cause mid-trib may land in
WINTER??!! (Dec. 2012 is predicted)
But even so, I do not know the
exact date of our rapture -- I certainly hope it's before this even gets
posted!! Or soon, very, very soon afterwards! I hope May MAY be it!!!! We
all do.
