1 Corinthians 15: 51, 52 -- 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Paul talking to the Christians at Corinth, saying listen my brothers, we are not all going to die, but we are all going to be changed, the dead are going to be raised first - spiritual and glorified, then we Christians who are alive will be changed too.
The Mystery of The
Hello, God's Blessings To All : )
Let's ask the question:
How Close Are We Really To The Rapture or The End?Well if the level of craziness in my life is any indication the nearness of the Rapture, the Rapture would happen tomorrow : ) lol's
Hopefully things are going to change soon for me, I'm thinking about hitting the road real soon, and going to Church's preaching about The End, and doing missionary work, so hopefully I'll be able to write this one article every month on time. For now on though I'm going to just write in this one Section. The Israel and the Israel/Iran Section I'm just going to leave as sections, and the Strategic Rapture Watchman Article will be where I focus my time in the writing of an Article at this web-site : )
What I've done for anyone who wants to serve the Lord, is I've put a ministry link at the top of the home page to a professional looking Bible Letter : ) The Letter is awesome to hand out to people : ) If you want to work for the Kingdom of Heaven - This would be an awesome opportunity for you : ) You would be a very wise person :)
OK let's address the topic of this article: How Close Are We To The End?
Jesus says that no one knows the day and hour, but Paul in Thessalonians as I have written in the Daniel's 70 Weeks article, which is a really good article for anyone to Read, Paul says that believers are not in darkness as to the Day of The Lord. The Day of the Lord will take place at the End of the World and Paul is saying Christians ARE NOT IN DARKNESS as to this time period/day. Jesus even pronounced doom on Jerusalem because they didn't realize the times they were living in. So us knowing the days we are living in I would say is an important thing.
Jesus even says if we don't watch for His return it will be to us as a thief. And we don't want that to happen because we want to be found ready as the wise bridesmaids who had oil in their lamps and were ready to go to the Wedding when the Bridegroom arrived.
Translated - Christians being found faithful and waiting for Jesus to return : )
Because there were other virgins or bridesmaids whom you could say would be Christians, who stopped caring about the Bridegroom's (Jesus) arrival. And they were excluded from the Wedding.
There is even a crown promised to those who love His appearing. Looking for Jesus return is an awesome hope!
Well if we look out to the world at the moment, what we see is Jesus ETA (estimated time of arrival) could literally be real, real soon.

Terry James from www.raptureready.com just wrote a totally awesome commentary that has got me on a totally Possible, "All Systems Go" For The Rapture : )
Rapture Ready Nearing Midnight Commentary 4/30/07
Let's Give The Situation In Iran
Total Serious Consideration For A Moment.
Let's say Israel or the USA or Both Countries destroy Iran's Nuclear facilities, which could seriously, seriously happen in the next 2 years. This event could lead directly to the end. I say this because in the Bible it says Damascus will be a ruinous heap - Isaiah 17:1
Sooner or later Syria is going to tangle with Israel I would say. If Iran's Nuclear Works wind up being destroyed, THEN THERE WILL BE A SUPER HIGH POSSIBILITY THAT SYRIA WILL STRIKE ISRAEL BECAUSE OF IT. MY THOUGHT IS THIS: THAT IF SYRIA LOBS OVER ONE OR MORE CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL BOMBS TO ISRAEL - ISRAEL MAY JUST WELL GO AHEAD AND NUKE DAMASCUS.
IF ISRAEL DOES THIS, LIKE TERRY JAMES AT RAPTURE READY WAS SAYING. THE WHOLE ARAB WORLD WILL BE TOTALLY IRATE IN WANTING TO DESTROY ISRAEL. ISRAEL WILL HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMOS, IF THEY NUKE DAMASCUS, THERE'S JUST NO OTHER WAY AROUND THAT I WOULD SAY.
IT COULD BE THAT IF THE RAPTURE WERE TO HAPPEN SOMETIME REAL SOON, THAT ISRAEL WILL BE TOTALLY ABANDONED PRETTY MUCH, BECAUSE THE USA WILL PROBABLY BE LEFT SCRAMBLING AFTER THE RAPTURE.
Terry from Rapture Ready was postulating that the Rapture would have already occurred and the US would have gone under the EU umbrella making the Anti-Christ very powerful - which makes a lot of sense and the Anti-Christ then would definitely be the only one who could protect Israel or make peace over there.
SO THIS IS WHERE THE ANTICHRIST WOULD COME IN AND SIGN THE PEACE TREATY TO ENSURE ISRAEL'S SAFETY, OTHERWISE THE WHOLE MUSLIM WORLD WOULD PROBABLY TRY TO DESTROY ISRAEL IN A MINUTE.
I think we've all underestimated the
of the Rapture.
If the Rapture happens real soon, the world will be totally at the end. And all things written in the Bible with a one world Gov't, Economy will happen real fast.
This Iran/Syria situation is really serious I think possibly. Is this going to lead right to the End????????????????????????
Iran could seriously be attacked within two years and Syria will probably get involved.
Will it be this picture below with the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse being unleashed upon the earth? Sooner of Later though this picture below will become a reality:
The White Horse = The Antichrist entering the world scene
The Red Horse = War
The Black Horse = Famine
The Pale Horse = Death

Will a Nuclear Bomb be involved regarding Damascus? I don't know, but if it is, and I'm not just saying this, but if a Nuclear Bomb is detonated in Damascus, that could really truly be the end. Probably only the Antichrist will be able to bring peace to that area of the world when Damascus becomes destroyed, but who knows.
This stuff is on the burner, what is going to happen?? Are we really at the End????
Let's think about this too:
Abortion is off the charts, Homosexuality is becoming a factor, there are Nuclear Weapons, and if there is a WWIII there will be no more world.
How close are we??????????
This is everything I see as a Watchman for the Return of Jesus.
If Damascus is Nuked what will happen is the question???????????
Will the Rapture happen before this????????
One thing is for certain it is really kind of like T-minus one minute and counting for a possible strike against Iran.
What will be the repercussions from such an attack??? -- Might this lead to Armageddon??
Think about this too, how can you get around 280 million abortions in the whole world in like 6 years. That's insanity, I don't think God is going to let this continue for a long amount of time.
This could really be the End.
As a Watchman, in looking at everything in the world, I think I'm giving an honest assessment of the Bible as it relates to the World as of May 2007, in saying The End of The World may not be far away.
This makes giving the Rapture a lot of Serious consideration.
Let's consider this analogy:
With the existence of Israel and the Muslim's world hatred towards Israel and Israel's importance to the End of the World, If I were to hypothetically invest in stocks right now and I was hoping to get a major return in investing in shares of Israel or shares of The End of the world theoretically speaking, based on everything taking place in the world right now, I think I would come out a wealthy man in two years, -- I mean all the information used to make a wise decision says BUY, BUY, BUY -- But no one knows the day or hour, but Paul says we are not in darkness, and if we are not in darkness, then we have got to be close, because I've been following the End for awhile, and it is almost like 'All Systems Go ' and I'm not just saying this.

How much further will God let things continue before He say's Rapture and Judgment????????????????????????????????????
Moral Integrity in the world is deteriorating so fast, and Morality, Holiness is super important to God. Purity to God is like everything.
It's almost like Pharaoh of Egypt when it was like plague after plague - that is the world today in connection to immorality, it's just more trouble after more trouble from Abortion to Homosexuality to Divorce to Pornography.
As a Watchman in seeing everything taking place in the world, I think the next two years are going to be way, way important and the Rapture's Stock during this time I think is going to climb majorly.
I think we need to give each day
100% Serious Rapture consideration
From here to the day of the Rapture, or to the day of our death, whichever occurs first.
With EVERYTHING taking place in the world, If we don't give the Rapture a 100% possibility of seriously happening from today, May 2, 2007 to that Blessed Day, then I think we are underestimating the Times we are living in and neglecting the reality of Jesus return or Rapture for His Bride The Church
Jesus is going to return as the Bridegroom for His Bride the Church and then there will be The Ultimate Royal Wedding -- The Marriage Supper of The Lamb :)
An Invitation to the Best Celebration Ever
I think there is a super high possibility for the Rapture to occur within a year. Just given everything in the world in the way it is connected to the Bible/Prophecy.
I think we may be close - But don't bet the farm, because no one knows the day nor hour/but Paul says we are not in darkness ( As to The Day of The Lord )!!!! That means we should know the general time frame of Jesus Return. - And I think the general time frame is Here.
The only thing that could delay Jesus Return would be the subject of Babylon, That is the only thing in the Bible Prophecy area that may be a question.
- Barring this topic - Jesus could return tonight, and I'm not kidding! :)
Why? Again, because Paul says we are not in darkness as to the Day of The Lord, and if we are not in darkness, all the evidence or things taking place in the World, I think make a super compelling case for one to believe that Better things may be on the soon horizon for Christians.
The Rapture
The New Heavenly Holy City Jerusalem
The Millennium - 1,000 year reign of Jesus on Earth
Heir of God
Being with the God who created 100 billion galaxies each with maybe 100-200 billion stars -- that is awesome power -- and thinking that God calls each Star by name - God is beyond Power.
Just as a note, I am in no way advocating that I know when Jesus will return, whether it be in one, two, or five minutes or years, or even in 10, 20, or 50 years or not at all in our life-times. The whole point in living life as a Christian, is to live each day to Jesus and as such, that, that would be the day Jesus would return -- To always be ready for Jesus Return, even if it doesn't happen in our life-time. The call is Always to be prepared/ready as the wise Bridesmaids In Matthew 25 who had oil in their lamps waiting for the Bridegroom to Arrive and being about our Father's Work : )
A labor of Love quoting Darrell from www.focusonjerusalem.com on looking for the Lord to return each day. ( Even if it doesn't occur in our life-times )
But with so much occurring that aligns with The Bible/Bible-Prophecy in today's world, I would keep those lamps lit!!!p.s. date-setting disclaimer - I don't date set, I have no idea if Jesus will be back in two years or in two minutes, The Bible says to watch for Jesus return, and we are given things to look for ( Matthew 24 ) - All I'm saying is keep ready!!!!
Based on Information from the Bible, in connecting it with the world scene, an intelligent assessment today would be: Stay on Ready Alert!
Again, Jesus return could seriously be soon, and the call is always to be ready, however Jesus may not come back in our life-times at all. But that doesn't matter, because we should always live as if Jesus return was tomorrow :)
The whole point is just to always be ready. And all I'm saying is all the evidence in the world, tracked back to the Bible, paints things towards the End being seriously, " Maybe not to far off. " Everything seems to equal.
World Scene Today + Bible = Possibly/Seriously The End.
Always remember Nuclear Bombs - That is the sleeping giant of all things.
WWI - WWII - WWIII = No more world.
But I'm no Einstein, but regarding the times, I don't know if one needs to be.
MARANATHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
