I told my mom 4 years ago, as dad was in a nursing home, fading away quickly......I said "If you can come to grips with These Two things.......you can get thru the day."ONE: It IS what it IS.andTWO: You can't change what you can't change....This has become my mantra for life since then.Like many of you.........I believe we are THE Generation that will see the Return of Jesus Christ, starting with the Pre-Trib Rapture....and...I believe we are so very near that event...... that (like the song SMILE says...) "I just want the waiting to be over." !!After 16+ years of learning about End Times Bible Prophecy..... (I know as much as anyone out there, I believe) ........ I just want to see it all come to a climax.THE question becomes...... "WHEN Oh Lord?" When...... ????So many aspects of our society (in the US and all around the world) have been on a rapid decline, getting faster and faster over the last few years.Now, the USA is sending openly gay diplomats into countries that are openly ANTI GAY and expecting them to be accepted.....AND THEY ARE NOT!!! DUH!!!Interesting.......this JUST occurred to me. Obama was on the world-wide apology tour in his first few years, around the world......apologizing for the "errors of our ways ----the United States----- in the past, politically and economically.But NOW........he is FORCING A GAY AGENDA down their throats.The question becomes: Which is WORSE. The "old colonialization actions of the US" or the NEW SOCIAL MANDATE of "acceptance for all" all over the world.Which one will the world HATE more????This president is a major reason we ALL want to see the Rapture happen sooner, than later !! I am amazed at what one president has been able to do to speed up the decline and fall of our once-great country, leader of the free world.Hmmmmm......now the Russians have voted AGAINST gay marriage, to become the SOCIAL LEADER of the world??? OUCH!!And....the Russians are the ones giving OUR ASTRONAUTS their ride to the Space Station, because we no longer have a rocket that can do so..... OUCH!!!What's next?? Will Russia have to bail out US Banks one day too????I WORRY THAT THE RAPTURE WILL NOT BE THIS YEAR...2013.I WORRY WE MAY TO WAIT UNTIL 2018....WHEN ISRAEL TURNS 70 YEARS OLD.I WORRY I WILL HAVE TO WATCH ON AS THE USA CONTINUES TO DECLINE AND GIVES UP ITS PLACE AS THE LEADING NATION IN THE WORLD....AS AN ECONOMIC LEADER.....AS A POLITICAL LEADER..........AND, IF IT EVER REALLY WAS.....AS A SOCIAL LEADER.......If the Rapture is still a year off.....and especially FIVE YEARS OFF.....How much WORSE will things have to get? The decline alone in the last 5 years has been disasterous.TICK TOCK.........................YFIC,RAndy
