The
Conundrum: The closer we get to the Rapture,
the more it "seems" Unlikely.
But even John the Baptist had his doubts
that Jesus WAS the "One they had been waiting
for..."
In the past 14 years, people I have
talked to about the nearness of the Rapture fall
into 4 groups:
1) You simply
cannot know…
2) It won’t
happen in their lifetime
3) The world
will need to be in a much bigger mess than it is
right now.
4) The Rapture
can happen “at any time”….there is nothing left on
God’s prophetic time-table that needs to be
done. (I heard this while standing on the
Temple Mount with my church group, back in Jan,
1998.)
5) Oh, and don't forget the the
"you must be crazy" group, too!
There have been high points….and low
points in learning about, and watching for the
Rapture over the past 14 years. It seems to
come in waves, normally just after something “BIG”
has happened in the world. For example, 9-11
was so big, how could you miss the prophetic
implications? And, for a few weeks or months,
the interest in “religion,” (at least in the United
States) went up dramatically. But, after less
than one year, people had “returned to
normal.”
Another example, is when a huge natural
disaster strikes, somewhere around the world.
Example: Haiti in 2010; The great tsunami in
the Indian Ocean over Christmas, 2004; The tsunami
in Japan in 2011; and so on.
Then there are those times when End
Times books capture the public’s attention, or TV
shows. Example, The Left Behind Series of
books that were coming out regularly between 1997
and 2002; or the TV show series “The Nostradamus
Effect” that covered all kinds of End Times
prophecies including the Christian elements of The
Rapture and The Tribulation in late 2009. The
show is still in re-runs on the History
Channel. But, right now…in mid 2012…..we seem
to be in a lull.
So here is the
conundrum:
We know we must certainly be closer to the
Rapture than we were back in Sept, 2001, since the
terrorist attacks in New York. (At least 11
years closer!) And we know we are closer than
when the Tsunami killed 250,000 people in the Indian
Ocean in 2004.
And we see the events around the world
such as:
1) The events
in the Middle East with all of Israel’s neighboring
countries in turmoil, and threatening her, more and
more, with each passing month over the past year and
a half.
2) The
financial systems of Europe and the US, on the brink
of collapse. The US in 2008 and Europe now in
2012, even as this is being written.
NOTHING has been FIXED…..and the
gathering storm looks more and more ominous…and
imminent…for both Israel and the Middle East….as
well as the financial outlook for the western world.
And yet, life goes on…..every
day…..as it has for the last 2000 years.
Can the Rapture still be
IMMINENT? ANY DAY?
Let alone, specifically, in 3
months….during Rosh Hashanah, 2012? Randy, did
God REALLY show you this? Why did He choose
YOU to show this to? (BTW....last week I asked
this question in prayer, and the response I heard in
my head was "Because you asked.")
Am I nuts? Is everyone who is
watching for the Rapture any time soon…….NUTS as
well? It is so easy to be a Scoffer. It
is so hard to be a Watchman on the Wall, because the
ONLY way anyone can KNOW we are right…is WHEN IT
HAPPENS. When the Rapture happens!
Until then, you can easily be just a “voice, crying
in the wilderness…. on the internet…….the Rapture is
near……”
Even John asked----as much as he KNEW
Jesus Christ was God’s Son---- he asked, from jail
“Are you the one who was to come, or should we look
for another?” INCREDIBLE…… John, just
like any of us watching the signs of these Last
Days, wanted to know “Are YOU the ONE we have been
waiting for?”
I have asked…..”Lord……is the date You
have given me……Rosh Hashanah 2012….THE date for the
Rapture? Or should I/we be looking for another
time?” (What I have heard in my
mind......every time....is "Randy, how much more
validation do you need...than the billboards, your
new Christian brother John - who already believed
the Rapture would be the fall of 2012 before you met
- and the 778 number the day this website was
announced to the world-----Randy, really, how much
more do you need to see, in order to
believe?" Again......I
am just like John the Baptist. (As a matter of
fact, I have referred to the John I have just met,
as "my John the Baptist..." He even looks like
him.....or what I might have thought John the
Baptist might look like!)
In spite of ALL I have been
shown…..in spite of ALL the things that had to
happen in the last 14 years to my learning
about the End Times……..in spite of ALL that has
happened in the world (the signs) over the last
5-10-15-20-50-70 years, starting with the Rebirth
of Israel….in spite of all of this Lord…..
in spite of your answers to my prayers about the
“time of the year” for the Rapture….. in spite of
the Rosh Hashanah “sign” on Sept, 29, 2008……on
Rosh Hashanah…….. in spite of your
“validations” to me about all of this…… Lord, is
the Rapture really…..really…….. on Rosh Hashanah
2012? Sept 16-18, 2012?
I am just like John the Baptist….. and I
wish to KNOW…again and again…..that what I
have been shown……is true…….
I certainly HOPE so.....
TICK TOCK……
YFIC,
Randy
