Is anybody else weary of fellow believers, both professing and actual, hurling unfounded accusations at those of us who seek the Lord in trying to discern what He is saying to His people through His sun, His moon, and His stars? I started to watch one video yesterday that call the Rev 12 sign a scam. In the video, this dude called anyone who had been foolish enough "to fall for" this Rev 12 sign as just being stupid. Then I encountered more false accusations from other apparently ignorant (ignorant: to lack knowledge, information, or understanding) people who cannot seem to grasp the fairly obvious difference between demonic astrology and biblical astronomy. Then I visited an old posting forum that chased me away awhile back, only to find the mantra of "no man knoweth the day or the hour, no man knoweth the day or the hour, no man knoweth the day or the hour...," ad nauseum. I'm sorry. I'm feeling a bit cranky tonight. That verse, in my opinion, has absolutely NOTHING to do with the rapture, which had not yet even been revealed as the mystery it was before the Lord used the Apostle Paul to bring it to light much later. Context, context, context. Jewish Messiah, Jewish disciples, Jewish culture. Something called the rapture was not even on their radar. The passage is much more likely to refer to Daniel's 70th week and the Day of the Lord than to the then unknown concept of the rapture. OK. I will be quiet now. Please filter out the crankiness, digest any truth contained in this post, and discard whatever might be left.  |

Please filter out the crankiness, digest any truth contained in this post, and discard whatever might be left. Don't feel bad for venting. Vent to us, vent to God, to a pillow lol. But all in all look at it this way, when our Lord Jesus returns, we are going to be RUNNING to him because we have been patient, and watching, learning, getting to know Him more and more as waves of information from the Bible keep pouring out and as more dots are connected. We will not be caught off guard and it will be the most joyful day of our lives. For those who don't see it or are blatantly ignoring it, are going to be in for the surprise of their life and possibly not in the best of ways when they realize what they ignored or ridiculed. It's like our duty to spread the gospel, our job is to plant the seed, not do the convincing. That part is the other persons decision whether they want to believe it or not. Plant the seed and move along. I know it is easier said than done. History is repeating itself, we are in the days of the Pharisee and Saudicee (spelling?). Not saying that about all of our believing brothers and sisters by any means. But this time around it is just not a coincidence. I look at it as even more of a confirmation. Satan is working really really hard to make this look bad. He is on super overtime mocking this and getting others onboard with him. |

You can vent to me anytime brother! "As in the days of Noah so shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of Man. They will be eating and drinking, marrying and given in marriage"
EDIT - you know what I mean? They aren't seeing what's in front of their face!"
