Final Days Watch: Week Beginning November 8, 2020

 

Ezekiel 38 Israel Invasion

The invasion of Israel from Russia, Iran, Turkey and their allies for economic reasons as described in vivid detail in Ezekiel 38 is still at the top of the list. Everything is set up and just waiting for the "Go" command from God.

Rapture

Simultaneously, for Christians (defined as those who sincerely love and know Jesus) the next thing on God's agenda is the Rapture. (Woo-Hoo!)

And for the three cave-dwelling, Moravian non-Christians who have never heard of the Rapture it is simply this ...

The word is from a Latin translation of the Bible and means "to be caught up" or "to be snatched away". During these End Times Jesus has promised to LITERALLY snatch us away bodily to be with Him in heaven. It is described in many places in the Bible (see references below).

Hundreds of millions of Christians worldwide are waiting for this event to happen at any second of any day. That's what all those Left Behind books and movies are talking about. But since it is one of the few events of Bible Prophecy Jesus does not reveal the exact day for there remains some speculation as to when it will happen. Some believe it will happen before the seven year Tribulation (pre-Trib), some believe it happens somewhere in the middle of those seven years (mid-Trib) and some believe not until the end of it (post-Trib). But make no mistake, anyone who believes the Bible is true believes it WILL happen. If you know a Christian personally why don't you ask them if they think the Rapture is about to happen? See what they say. It should be interesting.

I personally have believed each of these time frames at different times but finally settled on the Rapture happening BEFORE the Tribulation as I continued to study the Bible through the years and the evidence for that view has continued to stack up. Each time I wake up I think, "I wonder if today Jesus will snatch me away?" And right before I fall asleep I think, "I wonder if I'll wake up to discover myself zipping through the sky heading for Jesus?" It certainly affects how a person lives out their daily lives and how they prioritize them. I will write a post specifically about the Rapture, but for now I simply put it at the top of my weekly "watch list".

Never fear. Jesus is near.

 "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9

Speaking the truth with love,

Always, Laura-Lee

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words."   

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left."  Matthew 24:36-41

To watch for from me is a timeline for all of God's plan which will end with these End Times of this earth and the "New Times" of the heaven and earth to come.

Also, still hoping to start having Zoom meetings to get everyone involved in this discussion.
