Will the rapture release my seat belt, or will I wind up stuck in my car?

Ceffer says

Will the rapture release my seat belt, or will I wind up stuck in my car?

If you are left behind you might need your seatbelt because a bunch of cars with raptured believers will turn into driverless machines. But if you are a believer, it’s likely that even your clothes will be left behind. Imagine the chaos when millions of piles of clothes just fall to the ground off the backs of raptured believers. Pilots of planes gone, surgical assistants in the middle of surgery, gone. A crane operator, gone. Thousands of car drivers on the road, gone. Whole classrooms full of kids, gone. Every single baby, gone. It will be like nothing this world has ever seen. When people do see it, will they repent and turn to God? I hope so! Jesus saves. Anyone else is just an antiChrist.

That’s the thing. And it’s important to remember that you are just like them. No matter how much you protest, or assert superiority, you and I are at times both illogical and unreasonable. The louder you protest that fact, the more true it becomes. It’s just more evidence that we need a savior to rescue us from our own selves.

I am entirely aware of my fallibility, so I'm on guard for it, and I know I make mistakes, so accept it when I do, but this is a rarity. I'm only better in that I recognize I can fuck up, most people people around me will never accept they make mistakes. That my superiority, in recognizing my fallibility.

Because I can accept my errors and mistakes, I can stop repeating them. I live in an area of so many eggheads, they will never accept they made an error. I'm an engineer, I'm constantly being held to the fire in my errors, and I have made plenty of them, but I learn from it, so many people don't.

PeopleUnited says

The Corso retaliated biting off the leg of the sow who did not survive.

A corso did that? That's, um, amazing. I could take on a corso, but not a sow. In a fight to the death with a cane corso and a sow, I'm pretty certain I could take out the dog, and I don't think I could win against the pig.

PeopleUnited says

Don’t pretend animals are logical or more trustworthy,

HAHAHA - animals are absolutely more trustworthy, without question, no doubt.

And they are entirely logical. The situation you described was based on the animal's experience. It acted entirely logically. The sow lacked knowledge, so she attacked it. It was an intruder, and wolves, generally kill animals.

Completely logical. I love the logic of animals, because you can see it and understand it.

If you ever come across me, and you have a dog that is afraid of me, barking at me, doesn't trust me? Trust your dog. I'm absolutely not a threat, I guarantee that, but trust you dog. The ONLY time my dog showed aggression to a stranger, he was out of his mind, insane. Kelsey saw this before I did. I brought Kelsey home, and went back to the store, and it was obvious the man was out of his mind. Kelsey saw it immediately, I didn't.

Trust your dog, even when your dog might be wrong. Don't worry about offending the person, they'll get over it. Kelsey only once showed distrust, and when he did, he was absolutely right. I've had dogs distrust me, and I'm not offended. The owners have apologized to me, and I just tell them "trust your dog". I'd rather there be a false positive than a false negative.

Dogs read people better than people read people. They can be overly suspicious, but if you have a dog and it detects me as a threat, or anybody, trust your dog's instincts, they are better than yours. This might only apply to large dogs. Small dogs have growled and threatened me. On the RARE occasion I can get the owner to release the dog to actually go after me, bite me if they want, after explaining I've done dog rescue, and I will absolutely won't retaliate in any way if I'm bitten, the dog realizes I'm not a threat. This is "small dog syndrome". Many little dogs are fierce, as long as they aren't given the ability to actually go after you. They are just basically "talking shit", let go of that leash and suddenly all their bravado is gone.

Some people prove through their comments to be either self deceived or deliberately deceptive. I recommend all people to ignore the deceived and deceivers at all costs.

For example a cane corso has bite pressure of 700 psi. They stand 24-27 inches high and are 88-110 lbs of nearly pure muscle, their ancestors were bred by Roman legionnaires as attack dogs for the battlefield. To their owner they are an asset. But to anyone else they are a threat, basically the sow I mentioned above is dead because it was a mistake to attack the corso. But the corso also showed no restraint. It is an animal. I would not want to cross a corso or a corso owner. It can bite my foot off just as quick as that sows leg. So that is just one of many reasons how I know certain people are full of lies. Don’t waste your time with lies.

I did dog rescue for a long time, I used to foster for some of the most fucked up animals you can imagine, and my job was to regain trust with them. I lied to them and protected them, when they were with me, only good people were allowed to interact with them. My job was to show them the world was great, even though it's not. I purposely deceived them because I protected them.

I've had some violent animals and I don't think any dog could take me out. No dog can bite your foot actually off, it would require chewing, but I had a wolf, and I knew that animal could break a bone. I got stuck with Shiloh as a "Samoyed mix", full arctic wolf. Not a bad animal, but don't own a wolf. They want to be by your side constantly, they can't be left alone, a dog is like a child, a wolf is like a roomate. They aren't dogs.

Never been afraid of any dog, I can handle that, but a pig or a steer, a horse - I know those can kill me, and I would be helpless to prevent it. I can kill any dog, or any wolf really with my bare hands. Not that I want to, but no dog can take me out, a pig? How would I kill it? I can choke out any dog, break its neck, but not a pig. Certainly not a horse or a cow, or a pig.

I guess it's rock / paper / scissors. Maybe a dog can take out a pig, although I can't, but I can't, even though I can take out any dog. I might get messed up in a fight, but there's no way I'd lose. I can't be disabled by pain in a fight, I can only be disabled physically. I was the sucker of my rescue group, I had some very violent animals, every one of them was terrified of people because they had a bad owner, except one - she was crazy and I had to put her down as a result. That was my last rescue, as I failed. I couldn't fix her.

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. (Note: Jesus’ second coming is NOT the end of the world, rather it is the start of a new chapter in which Jesus rules as king on earth for 1000 years together with the help of all believers from all of history who will by then be all resurrected just like Jesus was)

We could go on, but the reality is that as each day goes by we come closer and closer to Christ’s return. If you can’t see that now, you will soon. Hopefully you see it and act on it before it is too late. Many of you grew up knowing the scriptures, and you did not keep them and live by them.

The good news is there is still time to Repent

2 Timothy chapter 3:

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

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!!

Yes, it is just one of the many signs of the times. Women don’t want to be women and men don’t know how to be men in a mixed up world where wrong is celebrated and right is demonized.

Just curious; where is that 'end times' prophecy in the Scriptures?

2 Timothy chapter 3 is a good start

Except the 3rd. Chapter of 2nd. Timothy doesn't mention anything about "killing people with mental illness and calling it medicine," so how is it to be interpreted as a "sign of the end times?"

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.

Do you know what the Crisis in Cosmology is? There is growing evidence that there wasn't a Big Bang.

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.

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.

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.

Rapidly approaching the day when a corrupt world government leader takes control of everyone’s ability to buy or sell.

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 world is ripe for the four horsemen of Revelation to begin their sequential judgements, just as promised over two millennia ago.

PeopleUnited says

And what if the mainland USA is attacked as well?

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.
