I have been "feeling" odd lately. Under attack, the enemy knows his time is winding down. It's the 2 minute warning. Full court press.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking not. Maybe some of you are feeling or seeing the same things personally.
Obviously the world is spiraling in many many ways. None of that is surprising, we know the story and how it plays out. Whichever your view on rapture timing, 70th week, temples, man of sin, America, Israel the end is the same. Christ is coming! Our King will soon return to reign.
Until that time we are in a war. A daily battle. Put on your armor every day.
In another thread I ask to join me in praying for one another daily. Thanks for jumping in the fight with me @sam.. 1 Thes 1:2 Please join me in that, committing to mention one another every day for the rest of this month.

I've been praying, although not as consistent as I could. Thank you, Mike.

I have been "feeling" odd lately. Under attack, the enemy knows his time is winding down. It's the 2 minute warning. Full court press. I feel different as well for this spring. Usually i'll plant some grass seed, and buy some dragon wing begonias in the little trays to transfer into the bigger planters. And think about getting the pool going. I'm not really a plant guy, but dragon wing begonias are cool. They are a hybrid begonia. They constantly flower and can grow 3 ft by 3 ft in a 10" pot. I usually have to chase around for the red ones before the old ladies buy them all up. Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking not. Maybe some of you are feeling or seeing the same things personally. I don't think it's just you Mike. But i have thought that it might just be me. And i don't think that we have to wait for very much longer to find out. Obviously the world is spiraling in many many ways. None of that is surprising, we know the story and how it plays out. Whichever your view on rapture timing, 70th week, temples, man of sin, America, Israel the end is the same. Christ is coming! Our King will soon return to reign. Until that time we are in a war. A daily battle. Put on your armor every day. And i don't think that the world will be able to "spiral" on like this for very much longer. But i'm a rare bird. I think that the prophetic time period just ended, and we are in some sort of a holding pattern that might not be able to be figured out until just before something happens. I was checking out that family radio guy, Harold Camping, because i wanted to understand what it was that made him so sure of his specific date. I was surprised to find something else out that i did not know. He had a very different idea about how the Rapture and the end of the world events would unfold. He thought that there would be a series of rolling earthquakes that would travel around the world over a 24 hour period. Then the Rapture would just happen at the second coming and we would go directly into the vials and the end of the world.. And so i don't know if we will get those types of earthquakes all around the globe, but i fear, at some point, this thing that Jesus spoke of in Luke 17 will occur. Like on the day that Lot left out from Sodom, so shall it be on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. On that day two can be standing side by side, one will be taken, one will be left alive. This sudden destruction will fall on the sons of disobedience, and they will not escape. Without warning, the dragon, through his control of the composite beast, will destroy many. A third of mankind. Because of the signs that he is given the power to do. In an instant the world's survivors will surely know that the God of the Bible has come back. Nobody will think that this is a natural occurrence. On this day the Son of Man is revealed through His actions. This event will probably be the catalyst for many of the other unfathomable events of the end time narrative. And i wonder if at that point we are just a handful of days, maybe 10, away from the actual second coming. I don't think we are looking at a seven year tribulation. And so it does seem a good idea to be armored up, to lift up our heads. All the more so as we see the Day drawing near. "Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. |

With the two main earthly events I see as a foreshadowing of the Great Tribulation/Rapture continuing to heat up with increasing intensity, namely earthquakes/volcanoes/weird weather and impending war in the middle east, I would like to pray for those posters and viewers of this site. The days left are potentially short. Lets keep our eyes on Jesus.
Father in Heaven help us to be faithful unto you in our words and deeds daily. Keep us positive and encouraging with each other and be mindful of our hurtful responses toward each other even as we are attempting to teach and learn your word. Even as the stress of this world weighs upon us. Even as the days to your coming grow shorter and our excitement and/or anxiety builds. May the grace of God save someone new to this site today. Bless each person with your words. Amen.
Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.

Amen and amen sog - I was sitting in a meeting today and was so engaged in it. Then was reminded that the world is a lit powder keg and the King is about to come on the scene. Father help us to remember the urgency of the time each and every day |

I think that the prophetic time period just ended, and we are in some sort of a holding pattern that might not be able to be figured out until just before something happens. I agree davewatchman. I'm still of the mind that Mankind's free will plays a part in this. Our Heavenly Father knows when it will happen, for sure, but, the movers and shakers must accomplish certain things before the Day. And those things will be at the opportune moment. Trump and Kushner's peace plan will be announced at the time it needs to be announced, if not, Emmanuel Macron says he will present one(this one actually makes more sense to me, or, or... he will confirm Trump and Kushner's plan?). Anyway, I believe certain things must happen that hang on human decisions to occur.
Heavenly Father, all glory and power and honor are yours forever. Your will shall ultimately be done here on Earth. You have opened our eyes to witness those things that You had written down thousands of years ago. We see and we believe. Please strengthen our faith and fill us with Your love that we may share it with one another and build each other up. All our hope is set on You. We need Your divine patience to not waver at the last minute while the full wrath of the devil builds around us. Protect us from the evil in this world and deliver us to Your Kingdom. In the name of Your Holy and Righteous Son, Jesus Christ, I pray.

A Christian holocaust. Persecution all over the world against us. When they want to kill you, will you still witness to them? Dan 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. |

Gotta admit... Was out for a slice of pizza with my daughter. Walked over to restroom and again caught myself "feeling normal" like everything in the world was fine and dandy.
Looking in the mirror, washing my hands all I could hear in my head was "eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage..."

mike, good thread. You and I have said this in several ways, but I believe we must be prepared to accepts things to happen not the way we think they will happen, that although we (corporate Unsealed) puts forth all kinds of numbers and durations of time, physical signs of the seasons, I do not believe that is what it is about. Hollywood version of rapture/tribulation is no longer my thought process. There is something else that will define something concerning the initial Harvest. I am not suggesting that things won't be rough, but I am seeing that there is going to be a distinction of some kind between those who are RESTING in Him and those who are not, and then there are those blind. 3 camps. not to derail or get on any specific topic. Resting in Him has become a theme for me lately. HE is and will be, and my amen to that is use me Lord, make me an instrument type of mentality.

barbiosheepgirl you derail? Never! So my next door neighbor was having a pool party (for girlscouts) last evening when I left for pizza. We had just got home and settled in when I saw his text inviting us to come over (@6:30). I think my daughter a nephilim. She's like at least half fish. So even though I was content sitting on my couch, I went next door so she could swim. Further to the point, everyone there (maybe 25 adults) going about their business with little clue to what is happening in the spirit. Most taking the Lord's name in vain every other sentence. Simply and sadly no idea.

I think so too. You and I have said this in several ways, but I believe we must be prepared to accepts things to happen not the way we think they will happen, I think so too. that although we (corporate Unsealed) puts forth all kinds of numbers and durations of time, physical signs of the seasons, I do not believe that is what it is about. Hollywood version of rapture/tribulation is no longer my thought process. It never was for me. Maybe a little bit. But i stopped thinking it could be on an exact solar or lunar event. A new moon feast or on Pentecost. Although this looked interesting:  Man look at that thing. It looks as big as the moon. Jupiter the King Planet getting near opposition on June 1st. Could that be the sign of the Son of Man, and then all of the tribes of the earth will mourn after seeing it? And it's not even as big as it will get on the day AFTER Pentecost, Monday the 10th. The Truth has to come first. Not Hollywood. Not my favorite theologian. Not me. Seek the truth, seek righteousness. Not self righteousness. 3 camps. not to derail or get on any specific topic. Resting in Him has become a theme for me lately. HE is and will be, and my amen to that is use me Lord, make me an instrument type of mentality. However many camps there are, i think the Lord will separate the world into just two camps, the wheat and the tares, during a very quick duration of time just before He comes. The man of sin will be revealed when he CAUSES the fire to fall from heaven in the full view of men. He will then become a line of demarcation between the sea of many peoples and multitudes and nations and languages, and God's People, His holy mountain. "And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. No matter where people live on the planet, when fire falls from Heaven, like on the day that Lot left out from Sodom, they will all KNOW that the God of the Bible is back. Even the people who live in the countryside of Sri Lanka that call out on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. There is something else that will define something concerning the initial Harvest. I am not suggesting that things won't be rough, but I am seeing that there is going to be a distinction of some kind between those who are RESTING in Him and those who are not, and then there are those blind. And this is where my speculation leads me to now. RESTING in Him. They were told to REST a little longer. Until the number of their fellow servants is reached. THE NUMBER. We do not grieve as others do who have no hope. "For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.Some people think this means that God will bring from Heaven the people resting in the Lord who have fallen asleep. I, on the other hand, think this means that God will bring with Him the resurrected saints, AND the saints that are changed in the twinkling of an eye, to New Jerusalem. Bring with Him FROM Earth, TO Heaven. It looks to me like the big variable here is number of saints coming into the world via live births on an hourly and daily basis. So it might not just be wanting to BE in that NUMBER when the Saints go marching in, but waiting for a specific NUMBER of the Saints themselves to be reached. I think we're waiting for a specific number that has to be in our camp. Only the Father can know what that number is. Not even the angels of Heaven can know. I bet they know we are getting close. www.theworldcounts.com/stories/How-Many-Babies-Are-Born-Each-Daywww.medindia.net/patients/calculators/pop_clock.aspOh when the saints go marching in When the saints go marching in Oh Lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in And when the sun refuse to shine And when the sun refuse to shine Oh Lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in When the moon turns red with blood When the moon turns red with blood Oh Lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in |

I agree with this: "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.So yes, i think it will be the worst time of emergency the world has ever seen, but i think that it's going to be fast. Because i think much has already happened that most people have not recognized. It's not quite over before it begins, but once it begins, i think it will be over before you know it. I'm not very good at witnessing to the lost. I'm kind of a five pointer at this point. God's got this one covered. I bet that this will be enough of a global emergency that whosoever calls on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. The lost will remain defiant to the end. They will blaspheme the God of Heaven. "They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores,
and did not repent of their deeds.Dan 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. That verse is 1798. The end of the Foxe Book Days. These verses i have after the destruction of Jerusalem. 538 to 1798Dan 11:32He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.(The Devil takes control of the early Christian Church. He would THINK to change times AND the Law.) Dan 11:33And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder.(Peter Waldo, and the early Waldensians. Martin Luther. John Wycliffe, John Huss and all the Christian martyrs burnt at the stake ) Dan 11:34When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery,(After the Peidmont Easter. Oliver Cromwell, John Milton.) Dan 11:35and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white, until the time of the end, for it still awaits the appointed time.
They shall receive a little help,
And many shall join themselves to them:Peidmont Easter.This massacre became known as the Piedmont Easter. An estimate of some 1,700 Waldensians were slaughtered; the massacre was so brutal it aroused indignation throughout Europe. Protestant rulers in northern Europe offered sanctuary to the remaining Waldensians. Oliver Cromwell, then ruler in England, began petitioning on behalf of the Waldensians; writing letters, raising contributions, calling a general fast in England and threatening to send military forces to the rescue. The massacre prompted John Milton's poem on the Waldenses, "On the Late Massacre in Piedmont".[46] On the Late Massacre in Piedmont
Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughtered saints, whose bones Lie scattered on the Alpine mountains cold, Even them who kept thy truth so pure of old, When all our fathers worshiped stocks and stones; Forget not: in thy book record their groans Who were thy sheep and in their ancient fold Slain by the bloody Piedmontese that rolled Mother with infant down the rocks. Their moans The vales redoubled to the hills, and they To Heaven. Their martyred blood and ashes sow O'er all th' Italian fields where still doth sway The triple tyrant; that from these may grow A hundredfold, who having learnt thy way Early may fly the Babylonian woe. |
