Springtime Rapture?

 I was just enjoying listening to Bro. Geoff Grider's podcast (especially the first 30 minutes), and he powerfully reminded me (and all of us Christians) that the Pretribulation Rapture of the church is a breath away, as he put it. Therefore, we all ought to be doubling or tripling our efforts to reach the lost during this crucial time of prophecy being fulfilled. That is exactly why I am writing this post now, because if you are not born again by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, you will NOT go to Heaven, and you will NOT be in the Rapture.

Bro. Geoff also mentioned that he believes that the Rapture will happen in the springtime, because he referenced Song of Solomon chapter 2 verses 8 to 12:

Songs 2:8-12: The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

He also mentioned further that he believes that the timeframe of May 21st to 23rd is a possible (not definite) assumption he has for the Rapture of the church. This is not a prediction by any means. He stressed that he is not date-setting. He mentions (and I found this to be very interesting) that Pentecost is on our calendar on May 23rd. The day of Pentecost (meaning 50 days after the crucifixion) commemorates the beginning of the church age after Christ died on the cross: 

Acts 2:1-4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Just as the Holy Ghost began to indwell all those who were believers on the Day of Pentecost, so the Rapture will happen when we are changed into our glorified bodies. The Rapture is the culmination and the climax of the church age. The Bible often begins a doctrine as a type, and the completion of that type is fulfilled in a later part of the Bible. For example, the Old Testament Jews were required to offer many animal sacrifices, which were a shadow or type of the one supreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross to die for the sins of all mankind. Bible verses compliment one another, just as the Old Testament is a forerunner of the New Testament. They all fit perfectly together. This is why the King James Bible is the Word of God, because no fake version can or ever does this. No other book is alive and active and more up to date than tomorrow's newspaper. God authored only one Book, the King James Bible!

We are now at the very end of the church age when Christ came and preached, then He died on the cross, was buried and rose again. This age has seen many get saved, and many fall away too. It's a time when God gives the gift of eternal life to all who receive Christ as Savior, and when the saved go out and spread the Gospel to the whole world. We are at the final moments before Jesus Christ calls us from out of Heaven and meets us in the clouds. After we are raptured, the church age will cease, and we will be in glory in our glorified bodies with God the Father and God the Son forever and ever. The church will NOT exist on the earth during the Time of Jacob's Trouble, or the Great Tribulation as some put it. 

Bro. Grider says he believes the Rapture will happen in the springtime, when the earth yields forth flowers and fruits and new life. This makes sense, based on what Scripture says in Song of Solomon, but he also stressed that even if Jesus doesn't come for us this spring, He can still do so at any time. We don't know when the Rapture will happen; not even Jesus Christ Himself knows when it will happen-- ONLY God the Father knows when it will happen, and when it does, whenever it does, we must be READY. God the Father will, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, send Michael the archangel to blow the last trumpet, and the Lord Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven with a shout, saying, COME UP HITHER!! 

We must expect this at any time, so that is exactly why I am writing this post: to tell you that the Pretribulation Rapture is about to take place, and that if you are not born again, you will not be in the Rapture, nor will you go to Heaven at all. You must BELIEVE ON JESUS CHRIST as payment for YOUR sins when He died FOR YOU on the cross. The Rapture is for CHRISTIANS ONLY. All else will be LEFT BEHIND on the earth to face the most awful, sinful, wretched, evil and satanic time that will ever take place, the WRATH OF GOD being poured out on all those who reject Christ Jesus as their Savior.

I want to share with you this particular podcast that Bro. Geoff has on his NTEB website. Please listen to it and you'll be convinced that the Bible is the only truth that exists in this sinful, lying world. Let God be true and every man a liar!

Just "Biden" my time

I think that title is clever, don't you? I am not endorsing Biden at all, because I highly dislike him and his Democratic demons. I just like to write, and I needed a subject. A testimony, if you would.

While the world is still engrossed in the covid nightmare, I have God's peace. I am not rushing to get the vaccine as many are. I'm in no hurry to get the jab.

Please don't accuse me of being a threat to your breathing space, because I work from home. I'm rarely around other people and I wear a mask in public places. So don't judge me because I'm not one of the mindless sheeple who follow every lie the Dem-onic party spews forth. I'm not like them, and am glad for it too. I have God Almighty on my side, and I am not afraid.

The Bible says for us to bide our time, e.g. redeem the time because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:16). The days were always evil since Adam's fall, but not so blatantly as now. People love their sin and hate the truth of the Bible. That's the truth.

Just look at all the filthy abominations that prevail in society today that are either accepted as normal or overlooked. The covid narrative and its sidekick the vaccine narrative. Perverts getting married and adopting children. Women in high positions of power which God commanded that only men were to assume. Decline and decay of major cities. Drugs and alcoholism being among the chief destroyers of lives. Disgusting rap and hip hop "music" (noise) that vomits out of car windows. Garbage, broken glass and syringes in the streets. People getting stoned out on "legalized" marijuana. Brainwashing of young people in the Marxist public schools. Daycare being an utter failure for greedy people that should have never had children. The various "movements" (LGBTQ+, BLM, ANTIFA, etc.) and other evil, anarchist organizations that further oppress society. Transgenderism, lesbianism, etc. because people hate how God made them. False religions, false cults, false preachers, false bibles and false churches. Divorce, deceit, disaster and dismay. And to top it all off, an aging, frail president who is about to be shoved out of the limelight by a more evil witch to take the headship of our rotting country. I could go on and on.

Before you accuse me of being a "hater," let me inform you of something. I believe the Word of God. What God says is what I believe. What God hates is what I hate. What God loves is what I love. I stand on God's Word because it is the ONLY truth today. Everything and everyone else is a lie and liars (Romans 3:4). Period.

Sin is an occupation that everybody works in, whether they know it or not. That's because we're born sinners, and we remain sinners even after we get saved. You don't teach a child to want all the toys or throw a tantrum if they don't get them, do you? That's clear evidence of sin in that child's life. Just watch a baby cry if they don't get picked up. He's a sinner, and there's your proof that the Bible is true.

You don't have to follow the world, dear reader. You can break away and realize that this world is not going to last forever, no matter what the environmentalists preach. You must know that you are a sinner and you can never pay for your sin on your own. You need a Savior to do it for you, which Jesus Christ had already done when He died for you on the cross over two thousand years ago. As long as you remain alive, you still have a chance of receiving this gift of salvation that Jesus purchased for you in His own blood. He died so that you might live. All you must do is CHANGE YOUR MIND and believe on Jesus Christ, that He died on the cross, was buried and rose again, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father in Heaven. If you believe this as a little child, you will be born again and have a new life in Christ. Old things are passed away and all has become new. 

Don't you want the peace of God in this tumultuous world? Don't you want to be free from fear and the wiles of the Devil? Do you want to go to Heaven when you die? You can have all this and much more if you simply BELIEVE. Please do it NOW, before it's too late.

The Wicked Witch of the West

 

You might say, what's with the title? I'm talking about Kamala Harris, the current vice president and soon to be president of this formerly great nation. Let me say first of all, that Biden is not my president at all, and I don't know of any level-headed thinking person that likes him. I'm not bashing anyone but he is a lost cause, and I believe God is using him to give this nation what it wants. He did it before in the Bible and can do it again.

It's only a matter of time before Biden is cast out of the limelight and Harris will assume her powers of the 25th Amendment and take the throne of AmeriKa. I can just see her rubbing her gnarly hands together and licking her lips, almost tasting her victory. She is bad news, folks, and you may love her now because she is all for the gays and other evils, but she's going to make you wish you had never been born. God is going to use her too, but not in blessing us, not at all. Harris is God's rod of rebuke and shame. You just wait and see.

Another hospital stay imminent

I don't normally post about personal situations like this but I am beginning to notice my left knee is showing similar signs, as my right knee did, of needing replacement soon. I don't know when, only God knows for sure, but I am at least confident in that He will help me through it, just like He did the first time in 2019. I am not scared or nervous at all, because I know that my left knee is deteriorating just like the right one did, and I went through the first TKR (total knee replacement) without a hitch. I know what to do and expect, and am confident that this surgery will be as much a success as the right side was. I am thankful for God's grace and the doctors and nurses who worked together to help me recover.

However, there is a big "WHAT IF" this time. Since covid began to dominate the gullible world, now hospitals have new rules and protocols to go by that don't seem to be changing or cancelling out anytime soon. I am wondering if I will need to get the covid shot before my surgery (whether I need it sooner or later), because logically, when you undergo surgery of any kind, you are at risk of catching diseases. Also, while you are recovering and must stay at the hospital, again, you are at risk. So I am going to ask my orthopedist about this when I see her next week. I wonder what she will say.

 I have the mindset of refusing the vaccine unless I must get it, and if the doctors say this surgery means I need it, then and only then will I get the jab. Otherwise, if I don't need it, forget it. Count me out. This vaccine is optional, so I say NO.

I am watching people I know who got this vaccine to see if they have some kind of reaction. I need physical proof when it comes to my health. I still can't imagine why this covid thing is not like any other disease. Why all the hype and politics? Was the flu shot ever such a hot topic? I'm tired of hearing about covid covid covid, SHOW ME THE PROOF the vaccine WILL WORK, and not kill me or change my DNA structure. In other words, I want the TRUTH!!

The world is at an all time low

Please pardon my tone in this post, because I have to get certain things off my chest and this blog is where I do it. I don't care if anyone sees these posts but I know God does, and moreover He sees my thoughts and the condition of my heart. So I believe He allows me to write about some things to vent sometimes.

This time I am writing about my utter disgust and disbelief that the neighborhood where I have resided for over 20 years has become nothing more than a trash pit. Every time I step outside my door, I am rudely greeted by carelessly discarded paper, plastic grocery bags, even dog poop which some fools don't even bother to pick up. I still see those supermarket circulars in their plastic sleeves thrown around and ignored, which only contributes to the trash problem. Potato chip and candy wrappers are everywhere because young people don't know or care what a trash can looks like. Broken glass is everywhere. There are urine-filled alcohol, beer and soda bottles scattered around. 

I pray that my dog doesn't step on a syringe or piece of glass and end up at the vet and I have to pay for something that could have been avoided. I still see little kids playing outside unattended. What happens to them if they get injured or killed? Where's the justice? It's beyond gross, it's tragic. People have stopped caring. All this neglect will lead to clogged sewers and even more deplorable conditions, and with summer coming and flies and maggots infesting the garbage, it will just get worse and contribute to the degradation and filth of the city. But who cares? People just want to get drunk and pah-tay!

A friend of mine was telling me that she has such a clog problem at her house. She said her whole plumbing system has to be redone because of the buildup of garbage out front. She lives close to a sewer inlet and has to deal with it by paying thousands of dollars to install a new plumbing system, while the city can't even lift a finger to hire lazy people as street workers to clean this mess up. No, only the super rich downtown have that luxury. 

It doesn't matter about us "po' folk," we have to deal with it. Meanwhile, rich people from New York are moving to the newly built up area whose druggie residents were forced out and had migrated up here, bringing their filth and slime with them. But who cares, the mayor gets paid and has virtually no power to do anything because of the corruption of today's government. The rich get all the breaks while the poor starve and perish in their own corruption. Mankind will never learn, unless they get saved. Thank God He will sort out all this mess one glad day.

I remember that for years, twice a year, there would be a Saturday Block Cleanup Day, and everyone who had decency and cared about their living conditions (as well as the health of our children who played outside) would get out there with brooms, trash bags and garden hoses and set to work. They didn't get paid, they just had scruples and wanted to live in a clean environment. Such people are now either dead or moved far away, and now there are dirty, lazy, uncaring folks (not saying all) who inhabit (or rather, infest) these streets. It's sad. I would gladly see one of those temporary signs announcing another Block Cleanup appear, but I haven't seen one in four years. If I had pictures of this area from the early 1990's compared to now, you wouldn't believe the vast difference. 

I almost find it funny that the world is so whacked out on this covid stuff when there's a plethora of other diseases that stem from neglect, filth and uncleanliness. It figures that people would blindly follow what the evil powers say to do while the more close to home issue is trashy streets and garbage lying around. About half of my friends have already gotten the covid jab, and others are waiting for it. But what about the more immediate problem of the health condition of our CITY? Who's going to get people fired up about our neighborhoods?? It's almost spring and I hope that there will be some signs of life from the tree-huggers and environmentalists to get folks to CLEAN UP THIS PLACE! At least they care! You say you worship nature? THEN GET WITH IT!!

At this point, we are stuck here unless God Almighty makes a way for us to move elsewhere. We rent, and thankfully that has remained steady for much of the time we've lived here. If we moved, we would have to pay twice as much, and we would have to start all over. I'm hoping and praying for the Rapture before that happens, but God's will be done, because God has allowed us to remain here for this long. After all, this world is not my home, I'm just passing through.

I'm praying for Jesus Christ to come back and burn this whole earth up and start over, and the Bible assures me that He certainly will. Fire is the only way to purge uncleanness, and the Bible proves it. I wish we could go elsewhere, but I take it one day at a time, and ask for God's protection, which He is faithful to give. In the meantime I await His coming in the clouds, and I will bid farewell to this awful place called the sinful world.

Back to blogging

 It's been a couple weeks since I was here last, and I am repeating what I said before. I had written a post about my deleting of FB, but sure enough, I did it again. I simply have no more interest in it. I'll just leave it at that, since all of what I said is truth but it's burdensome to repeat.

Now that my blogs are on their own, I wonder what will happen next. I won't be sharing them anywhere unless it's with a couple of good friends whom I know will appreciate it. I know that sharing them to FB  meant they had a better chance at being seen and read. So I'll just continue to post and leave it in God's hands.
