The RAPTURE Is not about escapism, it is about wanting to see Jesus Christ.
It is the Hope we have that Jesus Christ is coming back to us so that He can take us to be where He is.

This is what the RAPTURE is about.
The Hope of seeing our Lord, Jesus Christ again and to be forever with Him.

Do not listen to those who do not understand or those who think they should stay here to "prove" themselves. For they are like the foolish virgins who did not have enough oil and slept and went away.

Keep your hope alive in seeing the Lord again.
For He IS coming!

This is our Hope.
Jesus Christ is our Hope.
And the RAPTURE is His coming for us.
To be with Him forever.

What a wonderful hope we have in Jesus.

In Jesus Christ,

God Bless!

Re: The RAPTURE Is not about escapism, it is about wanting to see Jesus Christ.
Like a typical, self-ascribed "Christian", you declare your pronouncements as absolute, as if you yourself created the cosmos.

Your declarations are mere opinions and beliefs, nothing more. You arrogantly issue such statements as if you are some kind of informant from on High, when in fact you are nothing but a squeak in the face of a roaring freight train, a Nobody......meaningless.

Something about your post doesn't jibe OP.

How do you know everybody's reason for wanting the rapture to happen? Who are you to tell me who to listen or not to listen to? What makes you think you have the only right reason?

Don't you think if someone is on the verge of committing suicide, or maybe someone in a war, that maybe hoping for the rapture might be a form of coping? Why is that person wrong, or why should I not listen to them?

Re: The RAPTURE Is not about escapism, it is about wanting to see Jesus Christ.
What does it matter what you say or what I say?

Does not God's own Word as it is written in the Bible testify to this event?

So when it occurs, will it not show you that you were in error and a greivous one?

How will you then reconcile your soul with the fact that the event truly occured and you were left behind into judgement that comes?

====================


As for my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.
Please be prayer.
Today and into tommorow will be the last day of Rosh Hashannah and if the Father does decide to send His Son, to come for us, will you be ready?

Pray for your unsaved loved ones and friends and those whom you care for or are in your mind.

Tonight may be the last opportunity you can do this for any of them.

Tonight might be your last day as a mortal human being.
Tonight you might stand with Jesus Christ in ETERNITY, FOREVER!

TONIGHT!

What a wonderful thought!

Ever watchful.
Ever vigilant.
Ever ready.

Love the Lord our God, Jesus Christ.
Love the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ.
Love the Most High Priest, Jesus Christ.
Love our endearing and forever brother and friend, Jesus Christ!

Do you Love the Lord?
Pray to Him and tell Him you love Him and lift up the names of those of your loved ones and friends who are unsaved, that the Lord may remember them and work on their hearts.

God Bless You.
And no matter what happens this night or tommorow,
You know that the Lord is coming and we should always be Ready.

For our Faith is not based on the RAPTURE, but on Him and Him alone.

In Jesus Christ,

God Bless!

I really don't care what your reason for the rapture is or what you think, I think it is.

It is not for me to convince you of anything, nor is it my job.

Mine is to share the message of Hope.
YOU can take that however you feel or like.

May the Lord, open your heart though to know His truth.

In Jesus Christ.

Your going to see what you want be it Jesus, Quetzalcoatl, Ganesha ect.
The SUN of god is coming which maybe just Jupiter.

If you live in fear your never going to see or believe and not able to cope with whatever change is coming. We are for sure coming to a cross roads and without belief of any sort you will not be saved. Belief alone will make you live longer long enough to survive and thrive.

"Jesus is coming no matter how bad it gets we will be saved."
You will always have hope.

what you are telling people

is NOT Biblical.



Jesus said is the servant treated better than his Master.

Christ said no. What they have done to me they will do worse to you.

You are exhaulting yourself above Christ.


The days of the Tribulation were shortened for the sake of the elect who will be on the Earth at the time.

Now if the days were shortened for the sake of the elect on the Earth.

Who exactly got raptured???

If the elect are still on the Earth.

Re: The RAPTURE Is not about escapism, it is about wanting to see Jesus Christ.
ah satan,

I hear your voice and I hear the terror in them.
You know what is about to occur and you know your time has come.

The judgement that awaits you fills you with terror because you know where you are bound forever.

A day is coming soon, when your lies will be exposed and you will never deceive another soul again.

May this night fill you with the terror you yourself delight in.

May you feel the weight of all your sin coming down and crushing you as you wait your judgement.

In Jesus Christ.

You are entirely wrong.

It is not about what you want at all.

And if you do not "see" Him before the Rapture, you will not "see" Him during it, either.

I would change just one letter in this statement:

"What a wonderful "hype" we [sic] have in Jesus."

(Revelational phonetics is also fun.)

The Long O phonetic tone of the statement is, of course, expropriated.

You might want to look at the explanation of the "ten horns" in Daniel 7:7-8, as well as 10:20-21.

Hey stupid! my religious Brother in law thinks like you do, only he thinks that some how he is gonna be spiritually lifted away from this existence.
Got news for ya.
If the man does come, it will be a rescue operation with real UFOs, not some spiritual BS.
For that to happen, you would have to DIE. Do you get that?
You would die and then your soul is stored and all your memories are stored in a recording device.
They take your soul or spirit to one of the Morontia worlds, where you are awakened and then you are taken to the Most High judges, where you are shown all your flaws past and present, then you are either found guilty or not, and if you are guilty you are give the chance to repent.
If you do, then yo uare taken to a sort of rehabilitation. If you were an absentee father during this time, then you will be taught how to raise children, how to interact with them, you will grow in your understanding of wisdom.
Once you have finished you rehab, then you are taken to the other morontia worlds and trained there, and you keep working , learning,training for some future service. But your main job will be to grow in spiritual learning and as you grow, so does the Holy spirit grow with you.

It is your destiny to grow spiritually and serve with a glad heart. No, you don't become an angel, you don't get married, you have anymore children. You don't live happily ever after on a cloud paying a harp.
You train, you learn, and you do work.

Re: The RAPTURE Is not about escapism, it is about wanting to see Jesus Christ.
Writing want as "want" rather than "wunt" is an example of the visual masking of a phonetic tone.

Expropriated phonetic tones--almost always a masculine rather than feminine phonetic tone--typically occur when both the meaning and the meter of the speech changes simultaneously...for the purpose of covering one meaning and conveying another.

Sort of similar to the way in which the song Society's Child, from about 42 years ago, changes both the key and the tempo at the same time:
