Eh, Gary's posted several rebuttal articles. Let them be; if nessecary, the Lord will return their evil back upon them.

I find this to be a good reminder and checkpoint in my walk.(aol post)so I ask myself these questions:
1) now that outside negativity comes, does it cause me to worry about what I have said? No
2) what if nothing happens on September 23? If nothing happens for my eyes to see or the rapture, I still know that God is telling about the times we are in .
3) if September 23 comes and goes and those closest to me - scoff, what will I do? Turn the other cheek, not casting God's pearls of truth to those who will trample them and Continue to walk as God has shown me that the times call for and do not lose faith and wait upon the Lord.
4) while I worry about everything all the signs/symptoms, am I making sure that 'my faith' is strong enough to not be let down if nothing happens? That IS my call for today(that I not be so soon shaken) for the persecution, delusion, apostasy, scoffers is to 'stand fast' in the armor of God, knowingthe times.

Another example of what has become the norm of "FAKE News" ........ (Title, author, date of article shown below) Christian doomsayers predict the world will end in 2017 due to a massive total solar eclipse Alex Lasker, AOL.com Sep 6th 2016 4:22PM ========= Back in college, I helped in "news room" of the University Paper (and even attended a few journalism classes- since I enjoyed it) Back in those days it was called "Yellow journalism" -- journalism that is based upon sensationalism and crude exaggeration Now days it is called "Fake News" -- or "Click Bait" The thing about these type of stories -- is that there is just a small element of truth about them. Reading through Mr. Lasker's article -- one discovers he did not read though the entire website to obtain his story -- he simply browsed through the website trying to find the juiciest bit of information to build his title on. That he came up with the wrong information is not surprising......... |

Typical methodology for such things is to try to lump them all together. Once pigeon-holed, they can be 'debunked' based upon the most egregiously errored and the entire lump can be dismissed. |

September 23 will come and go...We aren't certain what happens on that date except for one thing. By all accounts it would certainly seem that Revelation 12:1-2 is fulfilled, whether we are caught up or not. That in and of itself is something to consider. All of our insight and thoughts, etc. on what we would like to happen or think is pointing to the beginning of the end may or may not be. We will know that day either way  |
