1 Cor 10:31
Greetings
all! It is Sunday, May 10, 2020 (Mother’s Day) as I
write this.
Gino,
per: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2020/gino510-4.htm
I
have NOOO earthly idea how others are seeing it – of
course, I can only speak for myself!
I
am PRE-trib all the way – not merely b/c I choose to be….
but how can we POSSIBLY “comfort” each other with our
Blessed Hope if we say….. well, golly gee, you’re going to
have to have your head whacked off first!! And
you’ll have to watch the murder of your 2 y/o daughter –
after she’s first gang raped…. And …… well, you get
the picture!!!! NOOOO words of
“comfort” THERE!!!
At
the end of the Tribulation, BEFORE the AC & his
cohorts have a chance to blow Israel off the map at
Armageddon – the Lord comes BACK!!!
SURPRISE,
Mr. AC!!!!! You’re going to fall over on the
ground *on your backside* at merely the Lord’s
BREATH!!! And the brightness of His coming (b/c YOU
Mr. AC love darkness!!) The Lord does not even
have to say anything to you! You’ll know you’ve had
it!! You will SEE & REALIZE “Who” The Winner
is!!!
Gino,
when Jesus comes back – it will be with the SAINTS WITH
HIM!!!!! They (we) cannot follow behind Him ~~
if we’re NOT ALREADY THERE!!!!
Zechariah
12
Further:
post trib is ridiculous & laughable because why would
we even GO UP (if the rapture WAS post trib) as
within a startling 30 seconds, we’d have to do a U-turn
& come right back down??????!!!!!! Do
people even THINK about the rationale of that??!!
Mid-wrath
or Mid-trib – well, again there would be NO comfort
there! As most, IMHO, will have been killed by the 6th
seal! That means most if not ALL Christians would
never have a chance to BE raptured – as they’d all be
slaughtered by or before mid-trib!!
Jesus
promises those who are abiding in Him, who are actively
following Him (I read all the time those who say He will
basically KIDNAP “all” Christians & take many “kicking
& screaming”!!!! Noooo!!! He
will NOT kidnap anyone!) Those who do not want to
go, who dig in their heels & WANT to stay here – to,
(cough, cough!) “fight” against the AC …… WILL GET
TO STAY HERE!!!! And as far as fighting
against the AC….. well, you see by & large, all over
the world, we’re already not doing a very good job of that
even now, wouldn’t you agree??!!
At
any rate, for those who are ready, Jesus promises we will
be HIDDEN from all the wrath that is going to come upon
ALL the earth-dwellers!! And for those who
wonder will we know or see what is happening on earth –
most would choose not to, b/c we rationalize how could we
possibly be enjoying the splendors of heaven if we were
aware of all the hell breaking loose on earth…. But
yet!! BY THEN, by the time we’re in heaven, even our
minds will have been changed to be as He is!!! We
will then see things through His perspective & so WHEN
(not if) but WHEN the four living beings shout to us,
“COME AND SEE!!” (many times through Revelation –
then indeed, we WILL have a balcony view!)
We
will be HIDDEN & PROTECTED though the era of The
Tribulation (7 years) from the AC & what he could do
to us since we’ll be in heaven.
Now,
back to your specific question: how do I see the
corona “fitting in” to the timeline??? I’ll be
honest – I never expected the world to be turned into a
topsy-turvy BEFORE the rapture!! I always thought
that typical crimes (stealing, lying, slandering &
yes, even on occasion murdering) & LOADS OF
SELFISHNESS would be happening – but I thought the world
would be in a state of normalcy at the time of the
trumpet. Boy was I wrong!
But
even so, this is likely THEE LAST WAKEUP call for the
world!! As well as likely it’s OUR last
opportunity to witness!! Even me, shy by nature
(much easier to hide behind a computer!) But even
I’ve been speaking up! Hey, this late, I don’t care
any more whether anyone BELIEVES me or not – that’s not
going to bother me one iota. Just their KNOWING
what’s coming next is enough for me!!
Maybe
some (we can hope many) are getting on board as we
speak. Maybe? Maybe not!
Because
as things wrap up, Revelation assure us: He that is
unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is
filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that
is holy, let him be holy still. Revelation 22:11
And
I’ve been saying to my precious DH all along – you just
wait, watch & see – as places begin to reopen &
people come out, their behavior will be EVEN
WORSE!!! Mark my words!!
Someone
sent me a news story one day last week about how,
somewhere in the Midwest, 2 ladies shot McDonald’s
employees…. BECAUSE they did not have the dining room open
for business!! Like – it’s “their” fault? That
corporate says no to opening the dining room? See
how people get frothing mad and turn on a dime??!!
Yet,
we do not know the point of salvation for anyone – so we
can hope & pray that others WILL have their eyes
opened & their hearts attuned to saying YES, Lord, I
WILL follow you! I repent of all my sins (read Psalm
51) my ways of selfishness, and even at this closing
hour, I want to follow You! You Alone! Not by
counting beads or saying repetitious meaningless words
over & over… not by praying to dead saints who
can’t hear me, but I want YOU!! To love You, to
follow You. I will love you by obeying Your
commandments.
From
John 14:15 from Jesus: “IFyou
love me, you WILL obey my commandments.”
The
Test of Knowing Him:
From
1 John 2:3-6 Now by this we know that we know
Him, if we keep His commandments.
He
who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in
him.
But
whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected
in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
He
who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk just as He
walked.
[emphasis
mine throughout]
So
long dissertation – ha, sorry ’bout that! Yes,
the corona happened and has affected every life on the
planet. Nothing will be the same ever again!
Let
us pray for the rapture! And more importantly, for
us to be READY by watching how we live & praying
always to be accounted worthy to go!!! [Luke
21:36]
I
know this is the Unpopular viewpoint (when have I ever NOT
swam upstream?! Ha!) but because of this
Scripture as well as other examples in Scripture
elsewhere, I think it’s plain that not ALL Christians will
be counted worthy to escape….. because if that were the
case, why are we told to pray for it??!!
Promise
to look me up once there, Gino! We’ll have so much
to talk about! And we’ll have all eternity to do
it!!
Soon!!!
