I wrote this on my Facebook page. 

While Im not a date setter myself, I certainly want Jesus to return sooner than later And want him yesterday just like you. I Would love these dates at least one of them, to be correct, Just like many of you. 

I just don’t think they can, but at the same time, I think we can get really close. I think he’s been at the door a while now, and been delayed For whatever reason. 

I Think an even more important posture is If we don’t want this, then we really aren’t his followers at all. If we want to stay to do God’s work, that’s certainly a noble thought, but God’s work for the believer never ends.

However, if we want to stay to do things we want to do, rather than what God wants us to do, That’s where the trouble comes in for us.

We don’t want to be caught unaware and we don’t want that day to come on us like a trap. 

The Bible says some will escape and the others will have to stay for the final testing, known as the great tribulation which it’s beginning is seen in Revelations 6th Seal. Of course we have tribulation now as well in different forms, but it’s nothing compared to what’s coming as we all know.

The question becomes, are all the signs here and the answers is, of course. But When will it become the “soon after the trouble of those days he will be seen by all”, this is what no one knows for sure,  other than watching the birth pangs converge which we’ve been watching even more so since the year 2000. 

Stay vigilant stay prayed up specially this entire month if it comes and goes, I wouldn’t be surprised, however at the very least all the extreme weather events all over the world will increase for sure that’s a fact. 

The weather events, floodings, earthquakes, etc. along with all the other stuff we’re seeing such as rumors of wars, having to quell rebellions in our own cities, which is really just ongoing riots, and by the way, what do we think is going to happen when the military presence has to leave those cities? 

Then we have the signs in the heavens going on everywhere, and at the same time, people having rapture dreams, including children, as young as four and five years old, some can hardly speak. Some of these people and especially the young , have never heard of a rapture before, and don’t even know what it is, that’s what makes this even more significant.

Are they having dreams of Jesus on a white horse, coming out of heaven with the armies of heaven, on white horses fighting against those who except the mark of the beast in revelation chapter 19? No of course not !!! And that should be very interesting to all of us. 

Instead, they are having dreams of people going up into the clouds, with a sky that’s being rolled back and receding while Fire is coming down and the Earth is shaking, which is the exact description of the sixth seal. 

Why would anyone have the dream about the battle of Armageddon,  which isn’t a blessed hope at all, after the Rapture event, that is going to be not only be an expected event, it will be able to be calculated to the day, unlike the Rapture event is. 

The enemies of God at that time, will be looking forward to trying to defeat the God of heaven, at the same battle they will be annihilated in. In fact, it won’t be much of a battle, even though it’s called the battle of Armageddon, it’ll be the complete slaughter, of the Mark of the beast recipients, without one casualty on Gods side!

So what you can put your money on( if you have any left lol) ?. Things are never going back to normal which once was at one time, then we see the bad going on around us and unfortunately will only increase, because the Bible says so. 

So my fellow frogs(and doves)in the kettle, which we all are, be blessed until then. We are looking for Jesus we aren’t looking for the antichrist.

The descriptions of the antichrist in Daniel, and in Revelation, are especially for the tribulation Saints to focus on, not us. 

Is it fun to speculate? Do I have my ideas? Yes, we all do, but It doesn’t matter. This is Because no matter who it is and whenever that time comes, it will happen exactly like the Bible says. Not as we guess.

But Jesus also told us to be anxious for nothing, and worry about nothing, the only exception to this this is his coming in the clouds with the Angels to collect us. That’s not a worry or anxiousness, that’s a blessed hope there is a huge difference. 

If you’re looking for and expecting Jesus, then you’re purifying yourself at the same time. And this along with prayer and repentance, will assure that you are ready at all times. 

This is the most important posture for a believer because he can call our number individually, at any moment. He controls our days and has them numbered not us. Finish strong.!!

Be blessed, Maranatha 

In His service,
