HAVE WE PERHAPS FINALLY ARRIVED?
The great apostle Paul expected to see Jesus return for him as he wrote this portion of Scripture. He knew back then that the great sign would involve his earthly people, the Jews. He id not foresee the dispersion of his nation in 70. Until 1948, there was no nation, Israel. Until 1949, there was no Knesset or governing body called Israeli. God had put them on His shelf for 1,878 years because they rejected His Son. God turned to the gentiles for many, many years, forming His Church. But now, it appears that He may return to them even now.
Recent happenings is the end by cease fire agreement of 14 months of terrible destruction by war; Israel vs. Hamas. They have an announced cease fire. It may fit the following Scripture.
“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety, then cometh destruction upon them as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape”. (I Thess 5:2,2).
The Israel government just accepted the cease fire plan between Hamas and them. It occurred just before the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as America's 47th President. This change in the U. S. leadership is what caused the Palestinian conflfict to settle so quickly just before Trump's taking office because he demanded it to happen or else. While the outgoing President, Biden, claimed credit, I believe the credit should rightfully go to Trump. It was his historic victory that brought the pressure to bear on the parties to bring the cease fire to reality.
Think now about the Scripture passage above. Is this when Israel, the “they” of the passage says “peace and safety; If so, then the rapture verses ahead of this statement may be in effect now. It certainly fits with posts of others and myself who suggest that the time for our removal may have come.
Let's suppose that our rapture is here now. If so, then reread the passage of Scriptuare just before the opening passage above. I quote: “For the Lord Himself shall descend with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” Thess 4: 16-17).
If inauguration day is the day of triumph for the digital age through the Quantum Financial System, a digital system using little if any cash, and an age with the great possibility of complete computer control over finance and therefore people, as foreseen in the novel by George Orwell titled “1984”, then perhaps Sunday, January 19, 2025 is to be our removal day. Our removal from great danger. The Scripture passage detailing that removal comes immediately before the passage detailing the “peace and safety” sign.
Food for thought.
My prayers continue for a lost world.
My expectation remains for an immediate rapture event.
I shout always, Maranatha (Come, Lord Jesus)
