Hello! (The OFFICIAL Introductions Thread)

Hello! New member here as per Scotties recommendation at the prophecy conference. A little about me... Got interested in eschatology 35 years ago in the same way as so many others, by reading Hal Lindsey's "Late Great Planet Earth". In 1994 when comet Shoemaker Levee struck Jupiter I decided I needed to be watching for signs in the heavens, the sun, moon and stars. I had no idea how those signs would manifest themselves but was sure they would be obvious. Around 2010, 2011 I was beginning to wonder why we were still here on earth. Then, when there was talk about the Mayan calendar ending, I poked my head out the window to see if anything of interest was going on. That was when I found Scottie taking about the blood moons. My spirit leaped for joy! I immediately subscribed to ERF and bought the blood moon books. It wasn't long before Scottie uploaded his first video about Revelation 12. I watched the video within the first hour it was released. At first I was skeptical, like many are today who are just learning about it or are stuck in their doctrine of imminence mindset. I prayed about it, asking God for some sort of confirmation. Soon after that Scottie showed the retrograde motion of Jupiter in Virgo for 42 weeks. I was immediately convinced. Something didn't set right with me being a mid-trib sign, though, since it didn't line up with the Feast Days as it should. But Scotties latest "Something Epic Comes This Way" series has got me pumped! Anyway, I know we can't know, but it sure is looking good, isn't it? Looking forward to the fellowship.

Welcome to the forum, mrdavid218! I'm so glad you've joined us!

Good afternoon! I am a new member and first of all want to thank you all for creating such a wonderful site. Since I started reading the articles and discussions, I have learned so much! And even though I have been a believer for 40 plus years,I appreciate the opportunity to consider new thoughts. I began studying Revelation right after the great 911 event. You all have shaken some of my long held conclusions and that is good. Never too old to consider a better idea as it is the truth that counts. Since the time is short and I am a slow reader, I would like to ask a question or two. I am trying to understand how the prophesy in Isaiah 66 about the birth before the labor fits with Rev. 12:2&5. It seems clear that the woman is in painful labor before the male child is born. Is this labor the labor that delivers the male son? I understand the seven years of painful labor after the rapture of the church. A related question is about the actual birth of Jupiter from Virgo.I have read that the birth happens on Sept. 9. Also have read that Jupiter enters the birth canal at that point. But two weeks seems like a long labor. Could Sept.9 represent the time the baby drops? That happens about two weeks before birth, I think. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, gkp! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum, portia! It is a pleasure to meet you!

Hi everyone- my name is Nancy and I've been deeply studying Bible prophecy for many decades and just recently been crying out to God to PLEASE send me someone/ones who are interested in end times prophecy. Today I found this forum. So, thank you God!

I've been thinking about the Rev12 sign since Scottie first posted it years ago, and remember thinking decades ago- wha?? Woman in the sky? Clothed with the sun? Huh? Made no sense, but even then I knew that in the times really close to the end, it might become clear. What a time to live in! I think only the time that Jesus lived on earth could approach/surpass these days.

I don't know if the rapture will be Sept 23 but I plan to go to my parents' graves around midday (assuming He would come at the last trump Jerusalem time) and if it does happen, I'd love to see them go up first. It would be cool to have that on video for someone to find on my iPhone.

I live in Kansas, and BTW, you are all invited to my house for dinner in the millennium. Can't give you an address quite yet, but I'm sure we'll communicate somehow.
