Been pondering this for a number of years. In a nutshell, it seems to me that what we as Christians need to focus on depends on "where" we are in God's Endtime program.

If-as some say-Revelation 4:1 signals The Rapture [AND The Rapture has not already occurred] and the {supposed} 7 years of Tribulation, then...Since we Christians won't be here on earth {supposedly}, basically most of the Book of Revelation is not for us. This view doesn't seem reasonable to me, but...

Me personally have been focusing on Revelation 12 and 13 for some time-SEEMS like these 2 chapters are for now/soon. That God The Father and Jesus Christ have been blasphemed for a number of decades/centuries and this is getting much worse much more rapidly than in the past. So-"patience and faith" would be the focus,the corruption/human bioengineering/abortion/Islam/satan&demonic infestation/more indicate "Days of Noah" Genesis 6:1-, "Remember Lot's wife"...

Pretty sure this post is unclear, for which I apologize. Anyway kind of know what I mean and could express this properly?

I understand what you are saying. Prepare yourself for the tribulation spiritually and emotionally because I think the church goes through it.

We are not going to have discuss that this is the final time. What is times? Ever read times, time and a half of time? Using the 1537 Matthew's o.t and 1526 Tyndale N.T

Jeremiah 7 :13 And now, though ye have done all these deeds (sayeth the LORD) and I myself rose up ever by times to warn you and to commune with you, yet would ye not hear me: I called, ye would not answer

Daniel 12 Then heard I the man with the linen clothes, which stood above upon the waters of the flood: when he held up his right and left hand unto heaven, and sware by him which liveth for ever: that it shall tarry for a time, two times and half a time: when the power of the holy people is clean scattered abroad, then shall all these things be fulfilled.

I believe that a time is 500 years, look about how long the pope has reigned in unrighteousness, what is 1750 years of his time, the one in Daniel 7:24-25?

Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the presence of the dragon.

Do you believe that we have a whole lot of tribulation ahead, those decieved into the mark of the beast will carry false Christianity to the end, whom suffer no adversion as did the saints of God.

i have pondered this as well for awhile now. i believe it is absolutely vital that we be prepared. Jesus' warnings could not be any more clear about the very real possibility of deception. no need to argue the rapture, if it pre-trib great! but if not . . .

also 2 other parts of scripture come to my remembrance every day - 1 is about being prepared as witnesses, to what i wish i was more ready to say and the other is from the book of isaiah about standing in the gap and that one, frankly, leaves me just a little bit scared but also determined.

I believe that we are very near to the rapture. It is so much on my heart to witness to people. I don't want anyone to have to go through the Tribulation. My husband and I have been studying prophecy over the last few years and it is amazing how fast things are falling into place now - governments joining together (European Union), money getting more standardized (Euro), watching Israel and her enemies, the morals of people are in rapid decay. The list goes on and on. I feel like someone hit the fast forward button and I am watching it all unfold in double time!

I know what you mean. For years, I thought the US will always stand with Israel no matter what; however, the lines have gotten very blurred. Sometimes I think believers are more into Israel's roots than they are.

When trying to discuss these things, people say no, statistics indicate that there aren't more earthquakes than before, etc. But when the tangible things start happening; i.e. temple being built, that 7 year agreement - surely more people will see.
