Who believes the Rapture will happen this year?

[other one]

Those who expect it to take place this year are not even ready for sure.

 

I'm not sure I follow your thoughts....

Yeah, he lost me on that one too, but I didn't have it in me to challenge such a sweet face as his.

If Jesus doesn't even know, I'm not gonna know

At this point Jesus knows

 

 

Revelation (12 or 14?) depicts the Son of Man standing on a cloud holding a sickle and He is waiting from a word from the Father.  And the angel leaves the temple where the Father is and goes to tell the Son of Man that it is time and He digs the sickle into the earth and reaps the believers.  So I do not believe the Son knows, not until the Father gives the word that it's time.

What I mean is that people may expect the rapture to take place at any time but they are still confined to the world.

exactly

[Donibm]

No.

 

I don't try to predict WHEN. 

 

I see the signs ... and I think people are reading too much into this Blood Moon business.  God rarely puts on a global spectacle when mankind EXPECTS it.  So much for a "thief in the night"  Are people EXPECTING a thief to come on one of those Blood Moons?

 

 

Yes, I see the signs.

 

I see the natural disasters which are becoming the norm

 

I see the wars and rumors of wars (not a day has gone by that there wasn't a war EVERY DAY since 1990)

 

I see the Hebrew language restored

 

I see the shekel restored

 

I see Jews regathered

 

I see Israel surrounded by her enemies

 

I see a great falling away in the Church too (from Doctrine and Truth) - and this is the last sign.  "That day will NOT come until there be a great falling away first"

 

I see restored agriculture in Jerusalem

 

I see the growing cost of things (days wage for a loaf of bread) and a global financial problem brewing

 

I see a dependence of oil, and a dwindling amount (ever wonder why after all this technology, that there will be FOOT SOLDIERS in Meggido ... instead of unmanned drones?)

 

I see the cashless society that we live in, and how its made way for the Mark of the Beast to track, buy & sell

 

I see how there are an increase in heart attacked from "mens heart failing them from fear of things in the world"

 

I see how Israel is a "burdensome stone" in the latter days, and all who trouble themselves with it, will be crushed (Americas days are numbered)

 

I see how Israel was "born in a day"

 

I see how there is a vast increase in knowledge and transportation as Daniel said there would be in the latter days.

 

I see all the strange beliefs and winds of doctrines, that even some Christians follow.  Amazing and foolish things!

 

I see how men will not endure sound doctrine, even some professing Christians.

 

 

The prophecies were meant to all occur in the same generation, not spread out over centuries ... and ALL of these things have been happening within the last 100 years.

 

So, what's next?

 

Birthpains.

 

They must increase in FREQUENCY and INTENSITY.

 

 

 

... hang unto Something.  This ride is going to get bumpier and bumpier with more and more disappointment, loss, financial strain, etc

 

 

Oh, but "do not hurt the oil and the wine"  The filthy rich are not as effected.

[fire-heart]

I hope It's soon, because there are signs in the heavens like the blood moons coming

Up this year, and all the recent comets and meteorites in the sky... So it could all be leading up to something? Do you agree?

it is leading to something thats for sure. everytime these tetrads[4 blood moons in a row] happens a major event happens to israel. as for if the rapture happens this it might. i really cant see us being here past 2016

[kingdomwitness]

Are you really sure that the blood moons coming up point to the rapture?

[fire-heart]

i never said they did i said a major event israel happens the rapture is going to happen suddenly and out of nowhere. ugh... but we still have date setters.....

[EnochBethany]

We should all expect the Lord Jesus to come at any time.  The judge is at the doors (James).  There is a crown for loving His appearing. Listen for sweet trumpet music.  On the other hand, what is a bigger folly than date-setting.  For all I know, he might not come for centuries.  Yet surely Israel in the land means something.

 

The Rapture has no signs.  The 2nd coming to sort out the earth has signs (Mat 24).  Beware of Newspaper exegesis.
