  • Has God put us on hold??? pressing 1, 2 or 3? is rapture, gog magog now on hold? :)

    An interesting thought why we could be here for a few more years Drat!!!
    My reaction was to have a spiritual tantrum

    Of course the peace and prosperity before all hell breaking loose could mean the first half of the trib period... because I don't Wanna be here for years more! ...... Big Sigh!

    The eating, drinking, marrying, etc. passage is in context with the Second Coming, not the rapture.
    And - yes, I believe that in the midst of the chaos of the end of the 70th week the blind and wicked will try very hard to pretend all is well and will do all they can to live life as if nothing is wrong...believing 'the system' will fix everything.

      That's one thing I've struggled with, too. It's pretty easy for me to see it in context with the 2nd Coming, but - and I think this is where some people get tripped up and start to confuse the other parts as to whether they are Rapture versus 2nd Coming - it's hard to imagine people doing all of that in the context of having those horrible sores and being attacked by the locusts for 5 months and everything else.

      On the other hand, the locusts have power to hurt for 5 months - it's not a horrible thing that lasts till the 2nd Coming. It has a set time. I can easily imagine the people just going back to busienss as usual.

      Not only that, but look at all we're doing right now. 20 years ago, sure there were proxy marriages going back toancient times, but you woudn't have imagined a scenario where people would regularly be conducting business while apart from one another. But, with so much virtual going on, certainly the buying and selling could be done remotely, and even the marrying and giving in marriage, you could have a wedding where all the guests attend virtually.

      so, more and more, I'm beginning to see the possibility of that being a 2nd Coming event just as my parents' generation has grown since the introduction of television to see how the 2 witnesses could be seen by everyone for 3.5 days; and of course for them it's gone from TV to webcames to smart phones that the whole world could gaze upon them with.
