I met a young friend for lunch last week for her 19th b/day – and during the course of our enjoyable time together I, of course, plugged the rapture….. Oh my word!!!  In return, I got the most PATHETIC to-be-pitied look from her you’ve ever seen!!!  Now let me say she & her family are strong Christians, go to church all the time, highly involved, etc. etc. ~~ in fact it’d be safe to say it’s more or less “their life”.  But for whatever reason are just totally ignorant on “signs” ~ either that, or perhaps,  I’m wondering if they do not teach/preach a pre-trib rapture there??  They used to – unless they’ve changed.

Oh how I would love to have one Blessed Hope lover in my life!!!!  Seriously!!  I don't have EVEN ONE!!  If it weren't for specialized websites like this one & a handful of others I visit, I'd feel so alone in the world as far as watching for the rapture.

I swear – here we have Franklin Graham, Pastor J.D. Faraq & so many others saying we’re now in the last HOURS…… we know this ourselves anyway regardless of what the teachers say;
and then you have people like my friend & her family who just cannot fathom the rapture being so soon!!!  I could understand if they were catholics [who do not believe in a pre-trib rapture] or unbelievers…. But an offshoot of John MacArthur’s church had surely ought to know better!!

I full well realize that scoffing is all part of the signs of the times.... and the times of the signs.... even so, it's especially tough to take when coming from someone who matters so much to you. Sad!!

 
Again, very THANKFUL for websites that are dedicated to watching for the Lord’s soon return!!!  Seems to the only place we can encourage each other to KEEP ON WATCHING & to not let ANYONE STEAL OUR CROWN!!!!!  The crown stealers are those who do not discern the signs, think they will be here for another 50 years… tend to think of life only down here…. And some may have been watchers themselves at one time…. They will toss cold water, they will scoff, but you hang onto that crown for all it’s worth!!
 

Amen!
