sharing presupposes respect for one another’s property

we need to be careful when trying to assign motives as to the “why” God / Jesus / The Holy Spirit does something.

while it might be fine and fun to ponder what various persons in the Bible might have been thinking in various circumstances, we must not do that when it comes to God.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. Isaiah 55:8

so, unless God tells us in scripture the “why” He has done or is doing something, we should refrain from speculation

Then I said, “Here I am! I have come! In the scroll of the book it is written about me. Psalm 40:7

Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do your will, O God’ In the volume of the scroll this is written about me.” Hebrews 10:7

past is a memory
future is a hope
right now is a gift (that’s why they call it a ‘present’)

“Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” – Charles Haddon Spurgeon

2 Peter 3:3

First of all you must understand this: In the last days mockers will come and, following their own desires, will ridicule us

Interestingly, two movies have just been released this month that mock and scoff the Rapture and the return of Messiah.

Rapture-palooza – described as “silly, infantile, obsessed with sex”, blasphemes God and Jesus.

This is the End – presents false gospel of salvation by good works, those “raptured” are carried away by beams of light (UFOs?), characters portrayed as self-centered and self-serving (following their own desires…)

The growing public ridicule of the Lord’s return shows that the scoffers will be “without excuse” (cannot plead ignorant) on the day of Judgement.

This just all the more demonstrated that the real harpazo (rapture) is near at hand.
