Hi Bob,
I just finished reading your post on March 1st, as I have been studying this very subject. I found it fascinating that someone came to the same conclusions as I have about the different timings of the harvest/resurrections in revelations. Your understanding of the scriptures is refreshing. Too many people do not understand the implications of worshipping holidays instead of Holy Days. I am still learning the proper days and statutes of the Lord myself, but I am trying. I DON'T honor any more holidays of man except Thanks Giving.
These implications of keeping the commandments hold accountability for everyone as to when they are harvested/resurrected. I feel that the Martyrs that die for the Lord and the 144,000 will be the Barley Harvest. The majority of the church will be the wheat harvest. And I hope I do not fall into the grape harvest for obvious reasons in the book of rev. I think alot of people are confused about the tribulation and being out of here before it happens. I think that the Wrath of God has been confused with suffering through the tribulation. None of Jesus People will see his wrath, as it starts in chapter 16, and all 3 harvest are over by then. Not enough people understand that as it was in the days of Noah, only 8 souls survived. Mathew 7:13.....Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14.......Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Any way, very interesting. I am sufferring from a bad cold and it is late, so bare with me if I make a mistake. Just a few thoughts on the subject.
A question for you! Do you think Nimrod is going to be the beast that is let out of the bottomless pit? And do you think that Obama will suffer a head wound and be brought back to life with the spirit of Nimrod possessing him? I feel that Nimrod is going to be the beast out of the pit, but I wander about the head wound thing, maybe he will just be possessed! Nimrod definately started Mystery Babyllon and the masons black arts. Did you know that he also died by the sword? His head was cut off and his body cut up by Esau. Maybe that has something to do with the head wound of the Beast. Sure enough, strange stuff is about to manifest upon the earth!
You know Bob, I don't know if I want to be a warrior any more, I am old and broken down for my age. I have an awful lot of faults, and don't live up to the standards that I know it will take to be one of the 144,000. I have just always been drawn to the idea and trying to make sense of my life. I spend way to much time trying to figure it all out and my wife worries about me. So do I, actually.
I am obsessed with the Bible, TRUTH, unfairness of life, etc... I hate this sick feeling all the time, and know I have it easy compared to most. And I can't do a thing about it but pray.
One more thing and then I have to go. I had a dream the other night about the rapture. It is posted on March 6. Do me a favor, and read it. I have asked for an interpretation from any one, but have had no responses. I feel it is very important, but I am not sure what it means. I have an idea about some of it, but not all of it. I asked the Lord for a confirmation, if it was from him. I opened my Bible, and it opened to Isaiah 17. My eyes went to the top of the page where it says "Israel is Threatened". Then my eye went to verse one of chapter 17....The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Now I took that to mean the obvious, that I was going to be raptured and Demascus was going to be destroyed. But the symbolism in the dream left me wanderring if there was a hidden meaning, because it did not go like I would have imagined, but I was overwelmed with joy the whole time while going up and after I got to the welcoming committee.
I never have dreams Bob, and I have had 2 in the last 2-3 weeks. One I had about seeing my best friend for the first time after praying for his salvation while he was in a coma, we were both 18. He died, and I have hoped all these years that he was OK with the Lord. In the dream, I was walking with, what I figured were angels, and we came to a grassy knoll. My friend came walking into sight, and we shook hands and embraced. I was very happy and so was he. He made it to heaven, and I KNOW the Lord sent that dream to me. I think it is another sign that we are getting ready to witness supernatural, unbelievable, totally awsome things upon the earth.
