Are you ready for the Rapture?

[Guest Thomas I believe]

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, There are many signs we have all seen. We have heard many talk about when Jesus is coming back to get us. What do you think and why? I think its soon !! Vote and tell us why..

[ray]

Well since the word rapture is not biblical I could not vote. When ever the world ends I'm ready. How it happens I don't know. Where did the term rapture come from when it is not even mentioned in the BIBLE?

I too think it's very soon. I'm guessing within the next couple of years but seeing even Jesus doesn't know the hour how can we. So many signs point to the end. I see so many that will be left behind. We need to pray, the fields are white with harvest.

The WORD rapture is not on the Bible, but the DEFINITION of rapture is.

RAPTURE: act of being transported (Daniel Webster); to be caught away.

1THESSALONIANS 4:17

"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:..."

BEAM ME UP JESUS!!! :-)

It's a beautiful day for the Lord to come again...could be today...could be tomorrow...could be next year... the important thing isn't what day or hour He is coming...the important thing is to be ready to go and not be caught asleep spiritually!

Trim those lamps...keep the oil flowing...the Bridegroom will open the door when the Father says it is time and those who are watching for Him will be gone! To be ever with the Lord :-)

when Jesus was telling the apostles aobut the things to come and what was to happen he talked about the things to happen in the end times. He talked about wars and rumors of wars and things to happen both on earth and in the heavens. Curiously he told them not to wory about it because before these things were to happen that they would be persicuted and such and Jerusalem would be trodden underfoot until the times of the gentiles were fulfilled.

Well the Nation of Israel became the rulling power over Jerusalem in the June-July time frame in 1967. There are scriptures that lead me to believe that once this end time starts all will come to pass within one generation.

From what I understand one generation is somewhere around 45 to 48 years on the average. While it is a bit foolish to start quoting dates it seems to me that people living in the time of 1967 will live to see the end of this "age" of things.

There are supposed to be signs in the stars and moon and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. I have been reading about sometime in December of 2012 we will pass through the centerline of our galaxy and some are questioning what that might cause. Don't know if anything at all, but just another small thing to take into consideration when pondering our short term future.

The core basis of a lot of the conspiracies going around are Luciferian in their origions and it is more than just possible that the beast of end times is alive and well on planet earth just awaiting it's raising out of the sea. Actually I have found it fastinating to watch things move from one year to the next as it all approaches it's final climax to throw itself on the world scene in the open dominating most if not all the whole world.

It's all in place just awaiting the time when the Father will allow it to start. Which in reality is the answer we seek here.

When it does start in earnist and all can see, remember not to be overtaken with surprise and grief, for the Lord will be following just behind and will take care of things. Jesus told the apostles and deciples in there time of trouble shortly to come, not to worry about it for, "even if they kill you, not a hair on your head will perish." Now that's something to ponder on....... Not to even fear death itself is just one of the things we can look forward to if we really really believe.....

I do..... do you?

Books have been written many times in the past (most of the 2000 years since christ died) making the end tiimes shortly to come and I fully understand that my thoughts are really just adding to the list of people who were looking for the coming of the Lord.

Well I have always seen the falicy of what most others were looking for over the past years, and understand why they are/were wrong. Trouble is I have no real way of knowing if I am as blind focused on the things I look for as the others. So I don't take myself too seriously. While I am still getting prepaired spiritually for the end to come and return of the lord, I am also planing a good long term reitrement hopefully starting in about 4 years. So, I must say that if I don't take myself toooooo' seriously, I'd highly recomend that you don't either

AMEN!

The times and dates are irrelevant, and deatails pointless. The world will end, for most people, in 80 years time. When they die

THATS the end of the world!!! not some flashy title of meteors crashing to earth and Jesus coming, our world ends when we die, and the descision is at Judgment

Daniel are you really that blind? Take those blinders of your face a read the bible!

I dare you to read Matthew chapture 24 Then tell me you still believe what you do, and if your opinion hasn't changed, your blind and you better pray that you can see.

[Shelby]

I also didn't vote, because I don't have a guess and it is of no concern to me. If I am ready then I am ready. I am not going to cram now if I failed in the past, hopefully the Lord will find me faithful. I think it is useless to guestimate when the rapture will happen. What will it add to your life to know when? I am glad I do not know the future. Praise God he saw fit to not let us know so that we are challenged to always be ready!

I don't think that I'll ever believe that I'm ready for the rapture or to go home to our Father. Maybe in the future I won't have this feeling that theres just so much left to do with so little time left. What I do know is ready or not my time here on earth will oneday end and it's not up to me to decide if I'm ready or not it's Gods.

God Bless You
