Have we entered the time of tribulations?
« on: February 22, 2021, 03:57:48 AM »
So far no Rapture that we know of. But would we be able to recognize it? Just asking, because there are those here that know much more than I.

JESUS said that when he returns, ALL eyes will see him.
And this is just an anomaly.

I and some others here would definitely know if the rapture occurred, others would not. CHARLIE.  ;D ;D

There is no good web site that gives an abstract of the end times, at least not a simple one, and a whole glob of them are still stuck on Russian invading Israel.
This could be a lead in to the last days.
The fact this country elected a senile fool and a whore seems to hint in that direction.

unbelievers included
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .

  We know that the world will become more and more sinful as that day approaches..God says it will be "as in the days of Noah", when he decides to call an end to such things, by taking his true believers out, by way of the rapture.  After that the world really goes haywire.
  Believers to the rest of the world, will simply disappear..and stories will be circulated, perhaps that the "aliens" took them, or some such weird explanation.
  Imagine the sudden change in life here, when suddenly, driverless cars and trucks crash, pilotless planes fall from the sky, nuclear facilities, suddenly lose a share of their trained personnel...
    Non of us know what day, year or decade when the rapture will occur, because God said He will come "as a thief in the night".   (2 Peter 3:10)  (1 Thessalonians 5:1-4)
 
  As one popular TV show used to say.."when it's least expected, you're elected".....
 You're elected to be taken in the rapture, or left to face the worsening world..
   It is totally up to us if we are to spend eternity with Him, or spend it in a hell, separated from God.

    One must be "born again", or they are the loser (John 3:3).
   The salvation message is not exclusive to any denomination or any special group, but to all mankind!

  Here, Billy Graham explains it in his final message.  Listen to the words of Billy Graham, and pray with him, meaning it with all your heart, and you will be "born again" and on your way to Heaven when you die, whether the rapture occurs in the next week or the next century.

  Listen to and pray with Billy Graham...and you will be "rapture ready"....even if it happens in the next ten minutes!

What Billy Graham said, holds true whether one accepts the rapture hypothesis or not..

Concerning the rapture, John Darby started this ideology in 1833.
My opinion concerning the rapture is: I don't know.

All who are born again through faith in Jesus atoning work on the cross will know when the trumpet sounds and they are caught up in the air to meet Jesus.

Those left, some will know others probably not.

Now when Jesus comes back to earth for his second coming all will see him and know who he is. The rapture and the second coming are 2 separate events.

Abstact:
Jesus comes; Satan is put in the crowbar motel
Jesus rules a peacful 1000 years.
Satan is let out of jail.
Jesus and his boys clean house.
Problem solved.

When the process truly starts, no one is going wonder if this is the big one.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:  Not of works lest any man should boast.(Ephesians 2:8,9)

How did Billy Graham miss this part?

My opinion concerning the rapture is: I don't know.
  Darby may ha e reapplied the term "rapture", a d many people use the term today, as a replacement foer several words to explain a sequence of events.
  "Rapture' in archaic terms, simply means a 'gathering up".

  Wikipedia has an interesting article.  Yes, it is Wiki, but that doesn't necessarily mean oit is wrong.
