I've been doing some video 'bingeing', which actually reminded me of cramming for exams back in college. Anyway, I don't remember the thread, or who posted it, but someone posted a video by Alan Horvath and I was at once hooked. He seems to be very knowledgeable in the Aramaic/Hebrew language and seems to have a deep understanding of how the Father wants us to think. I have yet to find (not that I am purposefully looking) anything to refute his teaching. Yahshua is the only way to the Father. That being the one thing that most(/all?) earthly religions miss in their doctrines and dogmas.
This video here is about a year old, but I think it is very important for us today. Whether the rapture happens on a feast day or not, we need to be ready every day. We need to think, have the mind of the rapture happening at anytime. Getting all hyped up one day and then being down the next because it didn't is detrimental to our spirit. We can't be like that. We must be ready every minute of every day. We don't need to belong to this group that thinks like this or that group that thinks like that (1 Cor 3:4-6), we just need to be ready all the time. Please watch with an open mind and pray the Father gives you deeper understanding of his purpose.

So you what you are saying is you believe in the doctrine of immanency. Isn't that what this site is vehemently against?

Well, I listened very carefully to what Alan said and I don't think that is quite what he is saying. He does say that, yes, the rapture may and can come on a feast day, and he did say it makes complete sense to him that it would come at Yom Teruah as did the other prophesied events coming on specific feast days. But, what he is stressing is that we should have the MINDSET that it could happen at any time! We need to be ready at all times. The day before a feast day and the day after a feast day and all the days in between! That is the message I got from that video. Satan doesn't want us to be ready, ever! He will do what ever it takes to divide us, get us to argue about this or that. Not that we shouldn't talk about such things, because we should, how else would we have known about the Rev. 12 signs, but we should be ready to go at the drop of a hat. There was a saying I was told a long time ago, I think by an Aunt, that said, "plan your life like you'll live for a thousand years, but live like the Messiah is coming back tomorrow". Pretty much the same mindset. I haven't lived up to that, but I hope to make up for it now.
Satan is an insane evil genius and the Father doesn't want him to know when the rapture is. Remember, the dragon is waiting to devour the child as soon as it is born. He doesn't know when it will be born either, so he waits. The Father's timing must be perfect as He is perfect in all He does. So, we will be caught up when we least expect it AND when Satan least expects it. Remember all those 9/23's in the movies and music videos? He was expecting it then, too! Can you imagine how confused he is now? Maybe it will be on the Day of Atonement. I hope it is. The sooner the better. I want out of here
All that I'm saying is that we need to prepare our minds, to pray, to 'fill our oil', and be ready for that day everyday. Because if we don't have that mindset, we become complacent and fall back into the ways of the world, the ways of Babylon, that which He called us out of. Yes, it is a constant daily battle, but isn't it worth it in the end? Rom. 8:18 "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."

Really good point about all those 9/23's showing up in movies. I really think there is a lot to that, that Satan basically controls the entertainment industry these days and is using it for his evil purposes. |

So you what you are saying is you believe in the doctrine of immanency. Isn't that what this site is vehemently against? So I went back and watched it again. At the 12:40 mark, Alan explains his stance on the matter of Yahweh's codesh appointments with mankind, as he says. It doesn't seem to me that he has a problem with the rapture happening on Yom Teruah, he just takes a 'wait and see' approach, which I don't think is a doctrine of imminence. He also states that we should trust Yahweh. At about the 29:15 mark he states, "we have to think of His coming as being imminent." He doesn't say that Yahshua's coming IS imminent or that he believes His coming is imminent, but that we have to THINK of His coming as being imminent. Your post gave me pause. I had to see if I missed something. I don't think I did. I don't know enough about the Father's feast days and calendar to say anything about when the rapture might be, but I do know enough to trust Him to come when it is time. Whether that is tomorrow, or next Tuesday eight weeks from now. I don't think that means I subscribe to a doctrine of imminence. Psalm 24:14 "Wait on Yahweh: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on Yahweh. " |

So you what you are saying is you believe in the doctrine of immanency. Isn't that what this site is vehemently against? Do you mean the doctrine of imminency? I have been around this site for most of the summer -- and rarely have a seen this group vehemently against anything. It is rare to get everyone to even agree with everything -- let alone to oppose something..... |

Yes, kjs is right, drywhitetoast! I think you'll find there are many viewpoints here on Biblical prophecy topics, and our discussions help us to sharpen our knowledge of the Bible as we look forward together to the Lord's return--whether that be on a feast day or on an ordinary, average day of the week. Welcome to the forum!
