Good heavens, are you gifted as an encourager? It sure flows out of you, brother! I don’t know what to say. I think you are one who plumbs the depths.

By the way, dinners ready.

I tried to pick out as many bones as I could find…

Also 2 women grinding at the mill: again one taken and another left. (Hey, field, grinding–wheat & tares…)

I’ve heard this preached as a rapture text but, like you, that’s one rapture I want no part of. The ones taken are swept away in judgment (like those swept away by the flood, v39)…

The beginning, end and center of prophecy is JESUS.

Yes, JT, HIM–always HIM!

There is no fear for those who are abiding in Him, like the 8 in the ark…also a picture of JESUS…no fear…let us not quake at the shaking going on for if our ‘house’ is built on the ROCK, the CORNERSTONE, the house will stand.

Amen.

Love you, brother.

If a bunch of people are suddenly ‘taken up’ and I’m not with them, I might actually be relieved. Consider the parable of the wheat and the tares. What is gathered up first? What does the farmer do with them? ;-)
Just a thought….

But I don’t want to start the day with possible ‘end times’ scenario’s….

Jesus….

LORD JESUS….,
You are our Life!!!
:-)

I may have to write a post on this. Not so much to change anyones mind, but to have them seriously look to the WORD them self, and remember to keep the script in context. The biggest thing I have seen people rely on is “one left standing, and one gone” earlier in that same chapter God refers to Noahs Ark..mmmm seems to me that the righteous were left,..again in Revelation HE speaks of judgement and the unrighteous are first, and later in the book, HE says HE is coming and bringing the new jerusalem…so why are we leaving if HE is coming and bringing this.

My simple thinking is..purification must happen, and tribulation has already begun all over the world except for here, so why would Western believers have the out no one else is getting…and why so much in revelation if we do not need to know it..

OKAY now you have me going again..loving the church going on over here..can’t…stay…away…

:oops:

Seriously, I am so glad to be in your circle where puff pieces are kept at a minimum and the things on the Father’s heart are so freely and boldly expressed. Words to encourage, edify and stimulate. Your site mentors me.

We in the west are in for some purifying. Some see a Rapture getting us out of this mess (and I did for a long time)…I don’t see that. There is STILL supposed to be a purified Bride. Spotless. Elegant. Regal.

There’s some work to do. A lot and a looooong way to go.

There is a prayer I find myself praying regularly is: Lord, give me a ‘finish line’ faith, a love for Your Truth and a Single Eye for all things Kingdom. Amen.

-so what if they are the anti-Christ…
-can i really do anything about it..
-Is my God all that HE says HE is…
-and since HE is! don’t i just need to make sure I am walking in HIS shadow..
- i am believing that the church(western culture) is in for some purifying..
-purification says HE is coming ..
-so i get excited over this stuff, i don’t know who the antichrist is, and i do get weary of Christ followers pointing the finger and playing devils advocate in this..

_what i know for sure..is I am not wearing the number if I live through the time period, and i hope we all stand strong.

hahahaha hows that for a small post on your post! :lol: good mind provoking stuff..I love that about you!
