I had gone to the prophecyinthenews.com  website and opened up their june issue.  The main article was so exciting, i went to the only christian bookstore near where i live to purchase it, but you don't need to....the cover article is available online.  I have heard the wierd trumpet sounds twice near where i live (in florida...land of assorted fruits and nuts...or is that California?  LOL) as well as searched on-line.  If you can weed out all the fakes (almost 2 to 1 fakes and jokers versus real) as well as all the explanations from 'oh-so-knowledgable'  debunkers sneering down their noses at the uniformed, unwashed masses.....there is a mighty work going on here.  My initial opinion was that somehow, the dimension between earth and hell was stretching thin...kinda bleeding thru, since satan is so close to being released full- throttle to have his short triumph on earth...and I only thot THAT because, as a firsthand witness, I found ALL of them absolutely TERRIFYING!!!   And as a retired NYC cop, that's really sayin' sumpfin'!!!  However, after a whole TON of biblical study....I have reached another conclusion.  I kept saying things like 'sounds from heaven woudn't sound so awful and scare people half to death.'  Boy....was I wrong!  That's what comes when you speak without finding out the truth first...(.a real specialty of mine!)
  I am not going to rehash the article...I want you all to read it for yourselves.  But think about it:  When God came to mount sinai to speak to the children of Israel, the mountain burned, the ground shook, the smoke billowed, and when the Lord spoke, it says God spoke as the sound of a mighty trumpet.  Scared 'em all so bad.....they cried out for God to please stop 'speaking'!  They called out for Moses to speak up on their behalf....hopefully somewhere far away from earshot!  (As an aside:  I have always pictured them all on the ground like those videos you see of nesting sea turtles covering their eggs, using their flippers to fling sand on their own heads.  What weenies!  BUT...listening to those blasting trumpets puts me in a much more sympathetic frame of mind!)
  Look up all the scripture references the article uses for YOURSELVES, in the most precise translations you own....i will tell you why:  (just in case you weren't going to ask!LOL)  They used a reader- friendly translation....but there is A LOT more info in a true, precise translation.  One example....they speak about King David coming up against the
philistines and inquiring of the Lord what he should do.  The article talks of God telling him to wait under the mullberry trees, and when God makes His 'sounds' in the TOPS of the trees, David will know that God went forth ahead of his army into battle, and to proceed.  However, in my interlinear Greek-Hebrew-English translation, it says this:  (1 Chronicles 14:14-17)...."and it shall be when you hear the SOUND OF MARCHING, and of CLANGING SWORD AND SHIELD in the TOPS of the weeping trees (willows?), (our sounds are consistantly being described as coming from the atmosphere...NOT the ground, and NOT from space....but 'overhead'!) then you shall go out in the battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the philistines.  And David did as God commanded him.  And they struck the army of the philistines from gibeon to gezer.  And the name of David went out into all the lands; and JEHOVAH PUT THE DREAD OF HIM ON ALL THE NATIONS."
  When armies want to fight, they start by trying to 'psych out' the opponent.  Remember the battle where they had to hide the torches inside the clay pots on approach then smash 'em when they got close?  Then they smashed, waved torches, and screamed as they charged!!  It was a normal battle charge....just like this is!  And picture this:  if the heavenly host's battle cry is already bleeding into our dimension enough to scare the beejeepers out of we mere mortals...imagine what it is doing to satan and his crew...who can see and hear EVERY BIT OF IT!!! (Thankfully, you cannot hear the 'bronx cheer' I just let loose!  For the ininitiated among you...it is also called a razzberry.  But hey-New Yorker here...remember?! LOL)
  The most important thing is this: The battle cries begin when the CHARGE begins!  Get it?  The sounds may have been going on from our point of view for a little over a year now....but to the Lord and His warriors...it is all TODAY!  NOW!!  They have already left God's heavenly realm and have entered earth's atmosphere, trumpeting as they charge!  Their noise has already penetrated our domain!  The WAR begins when the tribulation does, as God pours out His wrath on a sinful world.  But the 'wrath-ing'  starts AFTER WE ARE REMOVED because we are redeemed and not subject to God'  s wrath.  And if the CHARGE HAS BEEN SOUNDED.....can you imaging how soon we will be removed?  Milliseconds!  The Cry has Gone out!  Any second....the roaring voice of the archangel....and the TRUMPET OF GOD!!!!  We are already hearing the opening note!!!!!  Can it get any more thrilling than this?  I have NEVER been this excited!  It is a reality NOW!!!!!  MARANATHA!!!   WE are going HOME!!!   SEE you IN THE AIR!!!  Tracy Dee     (Anti-climactic as this note is...PLEASE forgive the awful spelling.  But, hey-have you EVER known a cop that could type with more than two fingers?  Just IMAGINE the overtime that racks up!!)  I LOVE YOU ALL!!!  Your sister in the bridegroom's love, tracydee
 
 
(OH WOW......just thot of something else soooo cool i am cryin'....really!!!)  The battle of gog-magog is said to be at the start of the tribulation....while we are being raptured....the whole "sudden destruction" thing!  And God says that when Israel is invaded...God HIMSELF will fight for Israel!!!   HENCE: the heavenly host at attention, sounding the attack to save the apple of God's eye!!)   WE ARE SOO OUTTA HERE!!!   td
