This thread is first of all an acknowledgement of future history. Namely, that Jesus promised in His word to return again to rescue the redeemed Christians (dead and living) from this world before the judgement/great tribulation period.

Second, this thread will be left behind as a witness to those who are not rescued before the rapture. One day millions of people will disappear from this earth. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, your spouse, children, bus driver, co-worker, or that person you thought was a Jesus freak will all be gone. And in that moment of fear, loss and confusion there will still be a voice of reason. That voice could be the sermon you heard but ignored. It could be the memory of a friend or family member who prayed and witnessed for you. It could be a Bible or a video of the gospel. But that voice will be there (and here hopefully) to remind you that everything God said has and will happen just as He said it would.

So if one day millions of people disappear all around the world, remember that God said it was going to happen and turn to Him with all your heart knowing that you were wrong and accept His gift of forgiveness. And then study the scriptures, ask Him to reveal to you what you could have known years ago if you had taken the opportunity to listen. And He will show you what to do.

Or better yet, if you are reading this before the rapture, congratulations there is still time to escape the wrath to come. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 2 Corinthians 6:2

The war in Israel could indicate that God will only allow them 10 more years to repent before he returns to set up the new millennial kingdom here on earth.


Needs to be in the predictions thread.

hamas is too insignificant if a force. i read it’s about 20-30k soldiers total. that’s nothing. israel has actual army and weapons. they can just wipe hamas out and go on their usual way. that’s if what i read isn’t a lie.

One of the speculations is that Russia, Iran, Turkey and others will some day in the near future pick up what Hamas started. (They call it the Gog and Magog coalition)

Scientists dig out a pliosaur that was rapidly buried leading to fossilization of the intact sea monster. Evidence of a flood that buried other things rapidly around the world as well.

Even the God hating scientists know that it was a rapid cataclysmic event (such as a worldwide flood) that buried and preserved this giant beast. note, it was buried above sea level.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/11/world/skull-pliosaur-fossil-documentary-intl-scli-scn/index.html

From the article. “It’s a “freak of nature” that this fossil remains in such good condition, Etches added. “It died in the right environment, there was a lot of sedimentation … so when it died and went down to the seafloor, it got buried quite quickly.”

This find is mentioned here in the rapture thread because it is further evidence that what God said is true. There was a worldwide flood several thousand years ago, and there will be a rapture in the near future just as the Bible says it was and will be.

This one belongs here. The agenda proceeds and is only hindered by the remnants of believers who provide reason and hope to a world needing both. But when the Christians are raptured, there will be almost no restraint to the evil that will overtake the creatures that rejected their creator. Are you ready for the rapture, or are you ready for the tribulation? Both are headed towards us with certain immanence. What ye therefore lest that day meet you unawares.

I never saw the original Left Behind movie starring Kirk Cameron, nor did I read any of those old future fiction novels which I’m sure are a bit dated by now in a world of Covid lies, climate crisis, lies, fake elections, AI, renewed wars and rumors of war all over the earth... but I did see the newest Left Behind movie directed by Kevin Sorbo of Hercules Legendary Journeys fame.

It’s actually really interesting how they portrayed certain aspects of the future saga in fictionalized manner of course. One of the most vivid scenes is of a woman digging up the grave of her grandmother who died as a Christian in 2017. She was digging up her grave to verify if this scripture was true. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:16-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬
https://www.bible.com/1/1th.4.16-17.kjv

I’ve never thought about the chaos that will happen after the rapture, but obviously some believe that people will resort to digging up the graves of Christians who died in years past to verify that God raised them up!

Are you ready for the rapture?

I think you can watch the new Left Behind movie for free on some of those streaming services. Enjoy!!

There's a lot of retconning going on in "Popular Science History".

Materialists mostly had to be dragged kicking and screaming from the Steady State Universe - took decades of Cosmic Background, Doppler Shift, etc. evidence to move the paradigm to Big Bang. Einstein himself was pushed grudgingly from materialism to light Deism over his life. Hoyle took a lifetime to shift as well. In fact, "Big Bang" was a derogatory term pushed by Hoyle, who was one of the last holdouts for Steady State

The Steady State Universe absolves materialists of origin questions: "Well, the universe always has been and will be. Is just always was"

Big Bang is an enormous problem for materialists.

1. If there were sufficient and necessary causes beyond the Universe, it would have triggered immediately so the Universe would be infinitely ancient and we wouldn't be here to ponder it due to Heat Death happening in the infinite past.

2. If the creation of the Universe happened at a finite time, only an actor's intervention could have held it back and/or caused it at a specific time.

3. A SupRAnatural cause violates Materialistic principles.

4. Exotic origin theories like Bubbleverses and such are complete ex rectum ideas without a lick of evidence or reasonable inference.

There's a few fundamental problems with this Big Bang hypothesis. It wouldn't shock me at all to find out it was wrong.

If we see volcanism, erosion by wind and water, etc. today, materialism assumes it also happened in the past.

Ah, look at this layer of dust! It must be from a volcanic eruption as it resembles the same dust layers we see appear near active eruptions!

If we see a complex code today... materialists assume there was no coder

Aha! A specific set of instructions that produce certain outcomes. We only see that with writing, programs, etc. Can't be a code!

Data Science is ripping DNA evolutionary theory to shreds. Changing pieces of code at random is far far far far more likely to error and rubbish than utility. And erroneous, rubbish code doesn't get copied much.

Life is NOT designed like a "complex code". It's assembled by a bunch of parts and almost randomly. We aren't an Alpha Romeo Spider, we're an escape vehicle made from parts stolen all over from a prison to make something that can drive for a few miles.

Most of our DNA is garbage DNA. In life, you see the same pattern repeated over and over again, dolphins have 5 fingers, so do horses, but you only see the single toe.

And when it does, it's called cancer. We have telomeres at the end of our chromosomes, when they become too short, duplication of a cell is supposed to become impossible.

Ray: the chapter starts out talking about perilous times. I don’t know about you, but if you have heart sickness (another term for “mental illness”j and your doctor recommends suicide, that sounds like the definition of perilous times. The person who is tasked with making you well, suggests killing you as a solution. Perilous times indeed.

I agree. It's an evil policy. But is it a sign of perilous times that a DR. recommends suicide to a patient? Incidentally, there is a legislative movement going on right now to make this illegal.

The entire church age has been fraught with 'perilous times.' In fact, just off the top of my head; up until the Roman Emperor Constantine (4th. Century), who melded some of Christianity with Roman paganism, Christians were fed to the lions and fought to the death with gladiators for the entertainment for the Romans. The world also had incredibly perilous times throughout the Dark Ages, where law and order vanished and disease was rampant, while literally wiping our over two thirds of the population of Europe through violence and plagues. For over 600 years, the RCC carried out their European Inquisition, whereby, Catholic Monarchs were used to torture and murder Christians that didn't bow their knee to the Papacy. In modern times, WW I saw death on a massive scale, claiming over 20 million deaths in Europe, with WW II, that rose to over 55 million. International Communism, murdered over 100 million innocent people .... I could go on, but I'll stop. We aren't even close to the "perilous times" that those aforementioned victims went through.

I would argue that the Covid 19 lies and deaths associated with the man made virus and the man made catastrophe of the response to the virus (whose effects we are still feeling) are on par with, if not exceeding the things you mentioned. It is like birth pangs, they vary in intensity but they become more frequent as the time approaches. Dr’s killing babies, killing patients (assisted suicide, ventilators, wrong use of medication, untested vaxx), governments freeing violent criminals and leaving borders wide open, these are all perilous. I agree that it is going to get worse but I don’t know anything more perilous than a doctor that kills.

It’s like a pastor that condemns you to hell or a pilot that crashes your plane on purpose. When you live in a day and age where the people who are tasked with helping you are deliberately destroying you, it is the epitome of perilous times.

Really? Under the leadership of China's Communist dictator Chairman Mao Zedong, about 60 MILLION of his fellow countrymen, many of whom looked into a ditch that would soon be a mass grave and were shot in the back of the head. I think they'd probably have a different opinion of "perilous times" than yours.
120   PeopleUnited   2024 Apr 29, 9:57am  

Mao killed his own people. The globalists who created the virus (and no doubt have many more in the works) were able to kill people in probably every single nation around the world, and they even managed to make it illegal to go to church in “free countries “. Now doctors are not only pushing unsafe and ineffective vaxx they are literally recommending suicide as treatment for mental health patients, Yep perilous times. But it will get worse. You can bank on it.

Debanking: a precursor to the Antichrist’s mark of the beast new world order totalitarian controlled economy.

https://www.raptureready.com/2024/07/20/breathtaking-speed-by-daymond-duck/

“On July 10, 2024, it was reported that a large TV station (Auf1) with outlets in Germany and Austria that opposes forced COVID-19 vaccinations, transhumanism, climate hysteria, the Great Reset, and more has had 8 bank accounts shut down in recent weeks.

Stefan Magnet (the station founder and editor-in-chief) said:

We were already a painful thorn in the side of the political and media cartel during the coronavirus era, and now that the Great Reset is being prepared and implemented at breathtaking speed on many levels, we are even more in their way.
The globalists use their direct connections in the control centers of the banking industry to get rid of annoying opponents at the drop of a hat.
Magnet (who employs lawyers and tax advisors to ensure that he obeys the laws) has reluctantly moved the station’s bank accounts from Germany and Austria to Hungary.

The station’s problems have implications for:

Globalism (silencing the opponents of world government).
Birth pains (prophetic fulfillment speeding up at the end of the age).
Mark of the Beast (kicking people out of the economic system if they do not support the globalist agenda).
These signs are shaping up at breakneck speed.

When Jesus was asked about the signs of His coming, one thing He said was:

“When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree [Israel], and all the trees [nations]; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things [signs] come to pass, know [don’t assume; know] ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

“And take heed to yourselves [don’t get careless], lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares [catches you not watching]. For as a snare [like a trap that slams shut like when God closed the door to the ark in the days of Noah] shall it come on all them [them, not us; all unbelievers] that dwell on the face of the whole earth [all over the world]. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:28-36).

All the signs indicate that society is fast approaching the Rapture and Tribulation Period. Our generation could very well be the Terminal Generation that will never die (Jn. 11:25-26).”

“in early Sept. 2024, it was reported that an undercover journalist secretly recorded a UN official (from the Office of Legal Affairs) expressing his opinion that UN officials are terrified at the prospect of Trump being elected again.

According to the article, the UN official said (my words for simplicity):

UN officials desire to transform the UN into a world government.
Trump opposes world government and wants to make America a sovereign nation again.
Pulling the U.S. out of the UN would cause the UN to lose about one-fourth of its income, and that could lead to the collapse of the UN.
Trump’s desire to close America’s borders is a threat to the borderless world.
Trump has signaled that he will withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization (WHO) and possibly NATO (if nations do not pay their dues).
The UN Office of Legal Affairs is preparing to bring Trump before a UN human rights Tribunal if he is elected and goes rogue.

The US armed forces will be doing the attacking is my guess. In 2002 they created a brand new Unified Combatant Command, United States Northern Command, tasked with providing military support for non-military authorities in the U.S.
Then just last month the DoD reissued 'Directive 5240.01' with new provisions that allow them to provide assistance to civilian authorities that may "involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury".
Why would they make these preparations? It is pretty obvious what they are getting ready for.

Some have suggested a future pope could serve as the false prophet described in the book of Revelation.
