From the Very Beginning Jesus was Man's Salvation
Did you know Jesus Christ’s hebrew name “Yeshua” means “salvation”? The word salvation appears throughout the Old Testament, as seen above. This means “Jesus” appears many times in the Old Testament. Jesus confirms this truth nearly 2000 years later from when the Torah (Law) was given. He said the the Pharisees of his day
“You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me,” (John 5:39)
The only Scriptures he could have referred to were what we know as the Old Testament Scriptures—the Torah, the Prophets, Psalms and wisdom writings (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs). Jesus is God and therefore has always existed (John 1:1). However, the promise of his birth as man was given very early. It had been announced by God from the very beginning of time in the book of Genesis, after sin first entered the world through Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God (Genesis 3:14-15).
Thus Jesus was and is before ALL things. Jesus was our salvation before the foundations of the world (Revelations 13:18). No other religious figure preceeds him. Indeed, Christianity, a religion of trusting in and hope for the salvation of God (Yeshua) is the oldest religion of all time—a mystery revealed gradually by God until the culmilnation of the ages, a mystery revealed at the cross where Jesus died (Romans 6: 25-26).

Quote
"Reading George MacDonald several years ago, I came across an astounding thought. You've probably heard that there is in every human heart a place that God alone can fill. . . . But what the old poet was saying was that there is also in God's heart a place that you alone can fill. "It follows that there is a chamber in God Himself, into which none can enter but one, the individual." You. You are meant to fill a place in the heart of God no one and nothing else can fill. "-Stacy Eldredge, Captivating
I love this quote. After reading these words, I was reminded that I am unique to God. I wonder why being unique is so important to me. Maybe I long to be special to God because I am prideful. Or perhaps God designed humans to want to be valued? There are so many people in the world. Somehow, I don't want to be just one of millions, an impersonal number to Him. Amazingly, I am not. God loves me, God loves YOU, personally and intimately. He made you for himself, with a fearful and wonderful specificity: No one else can be you, but you. No one else can be me, but me. I'm so happy to know this.

You are Mine, Jesus
How can I express my absolute joy you are mine? How could it be? How very amazing that you Lord of all belong to me. You have said your desire is for me. Who could concieve such a sentiment? In my darkest tears, I have clung to the hope--the beautiful belief that you are mine and would never forsake me. My mind is pushed into confoundment to even register we are so very close. You in me and I in you. United we are, completely one. And nothing can seperate your love from me. Ever.

Reason to Look at 2011 as the year of Jesus Christ's return.
Today I'm going to briefly outline some things that are leading up to this years Feast of Trumpets, which is to take place sometime between Sept 29th and 30th, 2011 (as no man knows the exact day or hour)! A quick outline: 1) The UN wants to pass a resolution this September recognizing a Palestinian State using pre-1967 borders. This will move Israel's boundaries, or borderstones. This may start a war, and it will definitely anger God and set in motion an unstoppable momentum according to Scripture. Zechariah 12:1-3; Psalm 83:1-8,12 2)The Fall Election in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood, whose campaign slogan last year was "Islam is the solution," claim they will not be running a religious state, should they win, which they almost certainly will. Considering their past involvement in many events...what do you believe? 3) Speculative in its effect, but worth mentioning nonetheless, Comet Elenin is expected to pass quite closely between the sun and the earth September 26-28, 2011. On one side, NASA is claiming this is nothing more than a comet that will have little effect on the earth, on the other side some scientists and private researchers claim it is a large planetary body; possibly a brown dwarf star, which may have calamitous effects on the earth. Many expect it will increase seismic activity on the earth, and some even claim it may bring days of darkness on the earth. 4) September 29-30, 2011 Israel celebrates the Feast of Trumpets. This Feast is unique in that no one knows exactly what day or hour this Feast begins. The Rabis keep watch during the dates of the Feast and blow the Shofar to signify the start of the Feast at the sighting of the New Moon. This has been difficult at times in the past due to clouding. Imagine how difficult it would be if something were in the way and the moon could not be seen. Many believe that this Feast signifies the Rapture of the Church. If Elenin does affect the earth with darkness, the statement "I come as a thief in the night," becomes even more notable. If this were the case, no one could know the exact day or hour. Again, I do not know when these things will take place. I don't know if the Rapture happens this year, but I'm watching. I do want to mention this Scripture though: "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief." 1 Thessalonians 5:1-4 As christians, we are to be watching, awake and aware of the season that is upon us! I know this is overwhelming and perhaps nonsensical for those who are unfamiliar with the Bible. The amazing thing about the Bible is that it's truth is not only felt in our spiritual core, but it fulfills itself through many passages from the past right up until this day, if only you'd look. It is truly amazing! Our belief is by faith in God, and yet, in His grace and mercy, He has given us many signs; many fulfilled prophecies, and many prophecies that are currently in the process of fulfillment. What an incredible day and time we live in. The signs are everywhere!

Do you know Jesus? Have YOU eternal life? Death is sudden... Judgement is soon? Time to make sure you have Life.
Jesus might come back this September or even before. 2011 is an important year. Do you know Jesus? If you died today where would you go? Life is fleeting and can be taken away in a moment. So why not insure you have eternal life? The bible is the sole religious text with prophecy---things that have been predicted to happen and have happened in history. This is just one of the ways God uses to show himself to an unbelieving world.
The world is about to be judged. If Daniel’s 70th week* starts in September, where will you be? In heaven, having a good time with Jesus, or on earth suffering and being persecuted? Jesus said he is the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through Jesus. Being a “good” person in your own eyes will NOT get you into heaven. For all have sinned (or done wrong) and have fallen short of the glory of God.
So God sent Jesus, his son, who is the exact imprint of his nature and glory. Jesus is God. He is Lord; he died on the cross for everyone’s wrongdoings. He was resurrected in three days. He was given glory and riches. The whole world is his. He will come back at the end of time with his holy saints to judge the world for its evil and failure to believe in him. Whoever believes in Jesus has eternal life.
What does it mean to believe? To believe is you acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. You turn your whole life over to him. When you believe in something with your whole heart, you put it into practice. You realize all other religions are false. Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam all have conflicting views with each other and Christianity. They can’t contradict each other and be true. Since they’re all different and contradict one another, only one can be true. The others are false. Jesus said he is the Truth. You may ask yourself, “how do I know which is true”? All say they are true? Jesus said “if you believe in God, believe in me”.
Look deep into your heart. Don’t think you do not need God. You are just a mortal. You will DIE. Do not be short sighted. You do not have until you are an old person to decide to believe in God. You could die tomorrow. Judgment Day could come while you are in your teens or twenties. It is possible the 7 year tribulation (or terrible disasters leading to the final Judgment) will start in September of 2011. Do you really want to take the chance that it won’t happen? Do you have anything to lose by protecting yourself now? Don’t bet with your soul! Do something now! Who says you will be alive tomorrow or even the next minute…
Look into your heart. Admit you are just a mortal, a person who has done wrong. Do not be prideful. Humble yourself before the creator of the universe. Be honest with him. You must truly be sincere. Say “I am not sure about You, God. I don’t really know who you are but I want you to come into my life and show me. I have heard many things about you but I want to know the truth. Give me the truth. I cannot see you but I choose to have faith you can hear me and will answer me. Save me, give me eternal life. I will follow you. I don’t know what’s best for me but you do. You made me ; you know how I should be better than I. Help me with my unbelief. Help me to follow you. Show me the right path, Lord. Come into my life and change me.”
If you truly meant this in your heart, he will answer you. Don’t let negative thoughts come into your mind. If they do, shoot them down. God will reveal himself to you, if you truly want him to. But if you choose to be proud and trust in yourself, you just may answer him on judgment day. You have been warned , so you are without excuse in the end. The end could be tomorrow. It could be September 2011. You saw the events for 2011….Don’t be left behind. Call on Jesus NOW.

Could the rapture be September 2011 ?
You learn so much from this post...sit down and read it. It is roughly 7 pages long. Your soul is worth it..
Hi all, Many people believe there is nothing that can be known about the timing of the Lord's return because Jesus said He would return like a "thief in the night" (Matthew 24:42-44). But Paul makes it clear in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 that Jesus' statement does not apply to believers: "But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief..." He then proceeds to explain why: "for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober." Paul is referring, of course, to the light of the Holy Spirit who indwells all true believers and who can enlighten us through our study of Scripture to know the season of the Lord's return (1 John 2:27).
http://www.lamblion.com/articles/articles_rapture1.php
The rapture is imminent, meaning it can happen at any time. I especially believe it could be this year.
Earlier today, I was slipping into doubt about whether 2011 is really our rapture year. I've longed for the Lord for awhile now but sometimes I just can't bring myself to believe that the end of sin, the end of the mundane activities, is finally over. All I want to do is be with the Lord---spend every second in his presence----- but this world makes it really hard to do so.
So, I asked the Lord to give me some reassurance. I asked him to give me knowledge concerning this September and the Palestinian vote for statehood. In addition I asked him to enlighten me about the timing of Psalm 83. I've tried so hard to understand with my own strength and haved failed miserably. However, with HIS strenght, my understanding has soared.
The Lord worked really fast! Suddenly, he began to bring to my remembrance all of the prophetic pieces he has given Rita. He has given many of you, spirit filled members visions, dreams and prophetic words. It brings to mind this verse:
"For we know in part and we prophesy in part," 1 Cor. 13:9.
We, the body of Christ, who flow in the prophetic, only prophecy in part. We each recieve small pieces of God's larger pictured. It is only when we come together, and share what has been prophetically revealed to each of us, that we fill in the picture.
"The spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus."
With that being said, there is one dream posted by our member "Michael Palmer" that Scott brought to my attention a few weeks ago. http://www.raptureintheairnow.com/dreams-amp-visions/a-new-dream-and-vision-march-12-2011
When I first read this dream, I did not understand much of it. It was a riddle, like how a lot of prophetic words from the bible are. However,I was very much drawn to this dream. I just couldn't let it go. It seemed so much the spirit of God and I couldn't understand why. Then, today it hit me: His dream was essentially the book of Joel. The Lord began to open my eyes to what was shown in this dream. Little by little I began to interpret it; after weeks of not understanding---I finally do.I'll admit, some parts are still a mystery but the most essential part of the dream has been revealed to me.
In the following study I will offer the interpretation the Lord has given me of this dream. I was truly stunned---it ties in sooo well to everything that will happen in september. The PA vote for statehood and the comet of Elenin. I was never very intrested in Elenin. I tend to run for the hills when it comes to science. lol but Elenin seems very signifcant to me now...
Based off what I've been shown, I believe the rapture will happen this September and the tribulation will start. I also see Psalm 83 happening right after the rapture and the first seal being opened. These things are just too amazing and coincidental. I would love to hear your opinions on this. If it is true, the Lord will surely confirm it. He has offered me confirmation that I am on the right track about this through Watching and waitng's post. The fact that we were imagining something so similiar and decided TODAY to post it,is very assuring that He may be giving his bride the final warning.
I have based my interpretation on two understandings of the Day of the Lord. Sometimes the "Day of the Lord is use to refer to the entire 7 year tribulation. At other times it is used to reference Christ's triumphant return at the Battle of Armageddon.(1Thes. 5:1-4, 2 Peter 3:10, Rev 6:12-14: Isaiah 13:6-12, Amos 5:18-20, Joel 2)
I will post sections of the dream, one piece at a time, then offer the corresponding scipture in Joel. Finally I'll tie in to this September. Because, prophecy isn't neccessarily given in order, I will post the sections in chronological order. Rapture, tribulation, then triumphant return.
This is the section of the dream that serves the template of what can happen this September.
I did ask if the bride will have to endure these things, he said “The bride is in her closet, and the groom is in his chambers.” then he said, when the great ones of all nations gather, when the spirit pleads for Israel, even the parting of the land, so will the bride be taken from the face of the earth, in this day, whoever calls on the Lamb will be saved, then will the destroyer display his power; shaking the foundations of the earth and changing the sun and moon by means of its power. Seek the Lord now for when they gather, the word will be no more.”
As you may know, on September 20th, at the 66th opening of the United Nations assembly, Palestine will make its case for statehood.
http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=233625
If this happens, the land of Israel will be essentially divided. Many nations, including the U.S, like the formula of Pre 1967 borders for Israel and East Jerusalem for Palestine, along with West Bank. This to me is a prophetic shadow of the Battle of Armageddon.
On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. 4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the LORD. “I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God." Zechariah 12:3
Just think, all of the "leaders of the nations, like in this dream, will be gathered against Jerusalem. The UN nations all want the dividing of the land. I believe the full fulfillment of Zechariah will not happen until we ride down with him on our horses at Armageddon. Still, this September could very well be a foreshadow of 7 years later at the end of the trib.
Okay, so if the land is divided on September 2011, we could very well see the rapture. According to michael's dream "when the spirit pleads for Israel, even the parting of the land, so will the bride be taken from the face of the earth". His "spirit pleading remind me of Joel 3:2 " I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. Remember, I consider the UN meeting to be a shadow. Joel 3 speaks of the Day of Jesus Christ and Sept. 20(or whenever Palestine goes for statehood and divides Israel)
So, if in Michael's dream "the bride will be taken from the face of the Earth with the land divide" than we could be raptured around the time of September 20, 2011!
Next, the part of his dream that says "in that day, whoever calls on the name will be saved " reminds me of Joel 2:31-32, Revelation 8 and Matthew 24:9.
I'll focus on Joel. "The sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood
Before the great and awesome day of the LORDcomes.
“And it will come about thatwhoever calls on the name of the LORD
Will be delivered;
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who escape,
As the LORDhas said,
Even among the survivors whom the LORDcalls."
Notice how in v. 31 it says, the sun will be turned to darkness adn the moon into blood, before the awesome day of the Lord." This to me is the moment just before Jesus comes at the end of the Tribulation. However, I also think this will be shadowed after the rapture...the days of darkness...which may come following Elenin. The dream gives us some insight.
When the dream began, I was standing in a puddle; I looked around and saw that all the ground was saturated with water. The water had a reddish tent to it and it was everywhere. After that, I heard a rumble, the voice told me to look up. When I looked up I only saw blackness surrounded by the stars, then the blackness overtook the stars. At this time the old man appeared in front of the dark object, he lit up the object and it looked like a black marble, and was a little smaller than the sun. The old man said “This is the ancient one who has been called for the world.”
It is believed that Elenin will cause three days of darkness, when it aligns will the sun. In Michael's dream, there is blackness surrounding the stars. "At this time the old man appeared in front of the dark object, he lit up the object and it looked like a black marble, and was a little smaller than the sun." Could this black object slightly smaller than the sun be Elenin? There is a thread that details a startling revelation about the names meaning. El=God, Yah. enin=hammer. Together this is Hammer of God! Elenin, is considered the Hammer of God.
http://www.raptureintheairnow.com/rita-main-discussion-forum/elenin-the-hammer-of-yah
Next,
"At this time the old man appeared in front of the dark object, he lit up the object and it looked like a black marble, and was a little smaller than the sun. The old man said “This is the ancient one who has been called for the world.” The small black, marble object could very well be Elenin. If it's elenin, it represents the "Hammer of God" The Hammer of God, is the word of God(Jeremiah) The word of God is the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is "the ancient one who has been called for this world"! (Daniel 7). The ancient of Days!(Aside, sometimes when I pray in tongues I refer to Yeshua as the "ancient man")
Elenin is set to align with the sun on Sept. 27. If the three days of darkness are to occur, then it will coincide with Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets.
http://www.raptureintheairnow.com/rita-main-discussion-forum/somebody-has-elenin-alignments-going-back-to-2004-
earthquakes-included-amazing
However, this feast will not be what Israel is expecting.
The old man immediately took me to a great room full of colors and full of light, I saw a trumpet there and he pointed to it, then he said, “The trumpet the children wait for will not come with peace, but with horror.” “The first child who came out of Egypt must suffer an Army, that Army will be drawn by him who lives forever, this is the purpose of the trumpet. You will know this by the sun and the moon being darkened by means of thick hot clouds over the holy land.”
This reminds me of joel 2:1-2 “Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand— a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was of old nor ever will be in ages to come.”
What if the Trumpets of Rosh Hashannah bring the Tribulation ---war and destruction? What if Rosh Hashanna will not be for peace and celebration? If the September 20 deal goes through, the Israelis may think they a tleast have peace. Netanyahu has admitted he’d be willing to agree to Palestine’s terms ifthey recognized the Jewish state. What if the rapture happens before then? Then the restrainer would be removed! The first seal opens and the AC is free to confirm his covenant. He may very well be present at this Septembers 66th session!
What if Palestine is offered everything it wants from the UN but tells Israel it accepts there Jewish state? The AC is free to work with the Palestinians, he may tell them to assure Israel, only to betray them. Israel will be severely weakened but if the AC promises each nation “peace” but works behind the scenes. After all both the Arab league and the European Union countries want Palestine to become its own state. The the stage is set for an army---Psalm 83.
“See how your enemies are astir,
how your foes rear their heads.
With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.
“Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
that the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
The second horse rides! “And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword." Rev 6:4
But the Lord saves his people! Let’s take a look at the dream.
The first child who came out of Egypt must suffer an Army, that Army will be drawn by him who lives forever, this is the purpose of the trumpet. You will know this by the sun and the moon being darkened by means of thick hot clouds over the holy land.”
The child coming out from Egypt is Israel (it took me forever to realize this) After the three days of darkness, this army marches forward. This will probably be around October. The Lord will save them, as depicted in Psalm 83. They will probably awaken to Him, and then construct a temple. If the Lord’s attention shifts completely to Israel, the church likely is on earth. I believe the AC will help them build the temple. Israel will prosper, while the world braces for collapse.
The second part of Michael’s dream details the state of America.
I was then taken to America and I saw it as a strong person, dressed in torn clothing, one of the legs were shaking and the other was cracked all around like a cracked stone. On the chest of the person I saw a child being drained of its blood. The head was green covered with eyes and the crown was the dollar bill. As I watched the person, the ears began to melt, then suddenly it fell to the ground and broke into two halves, the person now in tow halves was pulling itself back together to stand but an arrow from the west came and struck the person in both halves of the heart. When it was struck, I heard the words “Israel will cry with great tears, as captivity comes again. Scoffers will come by means of their condition, but he who lives forever will not suffer them to be lost.”
America is terribly weak now. The corruption of this nation is too great. Our economic power is waning. I believe earthquakes, along with economic disaster will wipe us out. Meowcat has posted a few dreams on the fate of America; there will be a 9.0 earthquake and a destroyed stock market. I believe we are already on the verge of collapse.

northwestalaska-and-midwest
I believe the Magog war will occur before the abomination of desolation. Israel seems to be in a place of comfort before the Magog war. The Lord will defeat Israel’s enemies here too. The grand unveiling of the temple of course will be around the 3 and a half year mark and I believe the AC will perform his desolation during the grand opening. God’s wrath will blaze against the nations then. Toward the end of the tribulation, the nations and the AC will muster up their strength for one last attack against Israel---the Battle of Armageddon. (Zech 12)
Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly. Gather the people, consecrate the assembly; bring together the elders,gather the children, those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber. Joel 2:15-18
God states He will not suffer Israel to be lost. Michael’s dream reiterates this. When Michael asked if the bride will suffer those things, he was told the Bride will be raptured before the trumpets sound, before the darkness. I did ask if the bride will have to endure these things, he said “The bride is in her closet, and the groom is in his chambers.” then he said, when the great ones of all nations gather, when the spirit pleads for Israel, even the parting of the land, so will the bride be taken from the face of the earth,
People have been seeing the numbers 9 and 11 a lot. Could this stand for the month of September 2011?
http://www.raptureintheairnow.com/rita-main-discussion-forum/numbers-9-and-11-keep-popping-up
We know the nations gather on Sept 20th of 2011 to part the land. We know Elenin will make and alignment with sun on
Sept 27the. Fourteen weeks after Pentecost is the New Olive oil harvest. This is roughly around September 20th. Olive oil usually represents the Holy Spirit. If the harvest of the Oil is around September 20th, then the Restrainer will be harvested around this time. Thus here is a possible endtime scenario timeline; it is a very rough sketch. I haven’t figured out when the judegements will happen between each event.
September, pre-27 ---The rapture happens. Olive oil harvest!
September 20-27 First seal is opened. AC gets ready to stir up the nations for Psalm 83. Tribulation starts.
September 27-30. Three days of darkness and Feast of Trumpets…..Trumpets of war.
Psalm 83
Ezekiel 38
Abomination of Desolation
Battle of Armageddon
Victory of Christ and his Bride
Start the Millenium!
Well, there ya go guys. Please prayerfully consider this. I need more confirmation. This may very well be it. Come Jesus. The spirit and the bride say come!

Psalm40:
**fair use for educational and informational purposes***
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Day_of_Peace
The International Day of Peace, also known as the World Peace Day, occurs annually on September 21. It is dedicated to , and specifically the absence of war, such as might be occasioned by a temporary in a zone. It is observed by many nations, political groups, military groups, and peoples. The first year this holiday was celebrated was 1981.
To inaugurate the day, the "Peace Bell" is rung at UN Headquarters (in New York City, United States). The bell is cast from coins donated by children from all continents. It was given as a gift by the United Nations Association of Japan, and is referred to as "a reminder of the human cost of war." The inscription on its side reads: "Long live absolute world peace." Individuals can also wear White Peace Doves to commemorate the International Day of Peace, which are badges in the shape of a dove produced by a non-profit in Canada.
This verse is very relevant:
Thessalonians 5:3 " For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."
Can any more be added to this convergence in September?
THE KING IS COMING!!!

If you are stuck on"No man knows the day or hour verse" First, I will tell you that I don't know the day or hour. Second, that verse said nothing about knowing the year or month. Thirdly,is the "no man knows the day or hour" verse the only thing you know about bible prophecy? You might want to consider brushing up on it before you take on someone who has studied it.....
Thinking of Harold Camping? The only thing that man had was a date and hour. Hear is a list of his beliefs----they are not biblically sound. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Wolves/harold_camping.htm
Second, it is just like satan to get everyone disbelieving in the rapture, when the real thing is about to come......this fullfills prophecy:
"First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?" 2 Peter 3:3
Don't be a scoffer.

Still have doubts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVz9I1lfSvg&feature=player_embedded
There is no way to escape the conclusion that we are living on borrowed time. The signs of the times are upon us, and they are shouting for our attention.
Are you ready? If Jesus were to return today, would He be your "Blessed Hope" (Titus 2:11-14) or would He be your "Holy Terror" (Revelation 6:12-17)? If you have never received Him as your Lord and Savior, now is the time to act. Repent of your sins, and call upon the name of the Lord that you might be saved (Acts 2:14-39).
And if you are a Christian, are you living as if Jesus might return any minute? Have you committed your life to holiness? Are you praying for the lost and witnessing for the Lord when you have an opportunity?
Are you yearning for the Lord's return? Can you say with Paul that you are a candidate for a "crown of righteousness" because you have lived your life "in the love of His appearing" (2 Timothy 4:7-8)?

What it means to be His Bride: only the Church knows
I am fascinated with studying the concept of the bride. I've come to realize out of all the "saints"(old testament, tribulation and millennial) we, the church, are the only one to be the bride of Christ.
"Only the Church can be the Bride of Christ. The age of the Church began at Pentecost after the Lord’s resurrection and will end with the Rapture. No other group will be so honored, not the Tribulation believers, not even Israel.
The Church is nothing less than a new race of Human uniquely destined to dwell with the Lord in Eternity as His Bride and co-Regent. We’re made up of former Jews and former Gentiles who have in common our belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and no longer belong to either group." -Jack Kelley
At the cross we became his bride. "John 19:34 “But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out."
"This is He who came by water and blood-- Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth." 1 John 5:6 The church is created through the blood and water. The holy spirit cleanses and washes us clean. Christ's blood is sprinkled on our hearts---erasing our guilt and sin.
At that momemt we are sealed forever as His.
As his betrothed , we are called to "Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention: Forget your people and your father’s house. Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord." Psalm 45: 10-11
We are the Lamb's wife. As co-heirs with Christ----as his “queen” ---of sorts we will not only rule with him but also we will know him . We will truly KNOW him as a wife knows her husband and is known by him. A spouse knows his love in away that no other person does. You may have deep love for others but the kind of love a husband and wife have for each other is very personal, very intimate, just plain different . It blows my mind that we , out of all the other saints, will have such an exaulted position. It is true all of the saints will have a personal and special relationship with God, for he says"Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." Isaiah 65:24.
But we , Bride, are very blessed and special.
"God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:4-7

Christ in their heads but not in their hearts
Hence it is, that if you ask a great many, upon what their hopes of heaven are founded, they will tell you, that they belong to this, or that, or the other denomination, and part of Christians, into which Christendom is now unhappily divided. If you ask others, upon what foundation they have built their hope of heaven, they will tell you, that they have been baptized, that their fathers and mothers, presented them to the Lord Jesus Christ in their infancy; and though, instead of fighting under Christ's banner, they have been fighting against him, almost ever since they were baptized, yet because they have been admitted to church, and their names are in the Register book of the parish, therefore they will make us believe, that their names are also written in the book of life. But a great many, who will not build their hopes of salvation upon such a sorry rotten foundation as this, yet if they are, what we generally call, negatively good people; if they live so as their neighbors cannot say that they do anybody harm, they do not doubt but they shall be happy when they die; nay, I have found many such die, as the scripture speaks, “without any hands in their death.” And if a person is what the world calls an honest moral man, if he does justly, and, what the world calls, love a little mercy, is not and then good-natured, reacheth out his hand to the poor, receives the sacrament once or twice a year, and is outwardly sober and honest; the world looks upon such an one as a Christian indeed, and doubtless we are to judge charitably of every such person. There are many likewise, who go on in a round of duties, a model of performances, that think they shall go to heaven; but if you examine them, though they have a Christ in their heads, they have no Christ in their hearts."
-George Whitefield

" What foolishness of folly must it needs be in men, that pretend to be men of parts, of good sense, and solid reasoning, to be so anxious to secure their ships against a storm, and their houses against a fire, and at the same time..not to take a policy out of the assurance-office of heaven; even the soul and witness of the blessed Spirit of God, to insure their souls against that storm of divine wrath, and that vengeance of eternal fire, which will at the last decisive day come upon all those, who know not God, and have not obeyed his gracious gospel" -George Whitefield

"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence" Odd comment as a definition of Faith is “belief that is not based on proof” I would take it then if there is proof there cannot be faith (via vnvobit)

Rapture Explanation: What's it about
Here are some reasons why I believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture. The Tribulation is known as "the hour of trial that will come upon the Earth during the last 7 years of this world. It will be a time of suffering unlike anytihing the world has ever known. (luke 23:21) The Pre-trib veiw states Jesus will come down into the clouds, call us with a trumpet and we will meet him in the air; Our marriage will take place and we will be with him forever.( 1 Thesalonians 4:16-17)
In a traditional ancient jewish marriage ceremony, the bridegroom went to the home of his potential Bride. He carried with him three things: his best financial offering, a betrothal contract, and a skin of wine. (Jesus===> his life, new covenant, baptism.) Then, if things were acceptable to her, the bride-to-be drank the wine, and immediately a trumpet sounded to announce the betrothal. The bridegroom then went to his father to prepare a place for his new wife. When the young bridegroom was asked for the date of his wedding, he could only reply, "No man knows except my father." Why? Because he could not go and get his bride until the father approved of his son's preparations.
Bridegroom Comes for His Bride
"When the bridegroom's father deemed the wedding chamber ready, the father would tell the bridegroom that all was ready and to get His bride. The bridegroom would abduct his bride secretly, like a thief at night and take her to the wedding chamber. As the bridegroom approached the bride's home, he would shout and blow the shofar (ram's horn trumpet) so that she had some warning to gather her belongings to take into the wedding chamber. Then a third trumpet would be blown to announce his arrival at the door. This was known as the "last trump". The bridegroom and his friends would come into the bride's house and get the bride and her bridesmaids."
Jesus' Fulfillment: Bridegroom Comes for His Bride
"Just as the bridegroom would come for the bride in the middle of the night, with a shout and the sound of a shofar, so the Lord will come for us. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words. Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Rapture Verses:
1. John 14:2-3: “In My Father’s house are many rooms. I go to prepare a place for you. And, if I go to prepare and place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there you may be also”.
2. "For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ" 1 Thessalonians 5:9
3. "But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21 34:36
4. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:52
*note the last trumpet is not the 7th trumpet described in Revelation 11:15.
5. " Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while, until the fury has passed by. For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no more cover its slain." Isaiah 26:20

Jesus is here, Rapture near
Amos 3:7 "surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets".
Hello brother and sisters in Christ. I hope all of you are enjoying yourselves. I definitely am. Recently the Lord has put it on my heart to relay this message. It is my hope that you all find comfort and exhortation in it. Despite all the hoopla and false alarms, the rapture is very near and will happen incredibly soon. (For all who either don't understand the rapture or do not believe in one, please see my post explaining it). It is time we all develop a mind for heavenly things. I wish for you all to hope and watch for the glorious appearing of our Lord, when he will take us where he resides. Nonetheless, I know some of you are uniformed about the specifics and have not given this much thought. Yet, there is a reason for this. God appoints certain people as "Watchmen". The watchmen are to sound the alarm for God's people. Since the first day I was saved, God has told me about the End times. He put a desire in my heart to study the book of Revelation and Old testament prophecy. As a result, I am well versed in the events that will soon take place. "That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions....before the overwhelming and terrible day of the Lord comes."(Joel 2:28- 31) I have found this prophecy to be fulfilling before my eyes. My style of prophecy is to speak using the gift of tongues, and then interpret it by speaking in English, inspired by the Holy Spirit. In addition to this, God has shown me visions in the spirit of the End times while at Williams. My favorite vision was of seeing him face to face. Oh, He is beautiful beyond words----beyond description. The feelings, the sensations felt when we gaze upon Him, is better than the highest pleasure we know now in this perishable body. It will be glorious to unite with Him!
Furthermore, since returning home for my summer break, I have had even more prophecies and visions. “Laugh and rejoice in the Holy Spirit. My savior is here. He has left His holy seat and He is here. My Life is come to be with me. He has come to be with us.” “He is coming; the spirit of Fire is coming. He is coming in Holy time. Be faithful for your Faith is here.” And that’s pretty much how my prophecies sound. I find it incredibly interesting that the emphasis is on He’s HERE. In the past, it was He’s COMING but now it is He’s HERE. This lets me know, the time is truly near. I believe He is coming by the end of summer. . The fig tree has ripened.
I am a natural worry wart. Hence, I have done a lot of "testing the spirits". The Lord knows this; He has given me much confirmation while admonishing me to be "faithful. The Lord showed me Rev. 19:10 "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" and Amos 3:7 "surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets". At church this past Sunday, the pastor (who is also a prophet) shared the same verse amos 3:7 with the congregation. He then said the Lord showed him a vision about the rapture memorial day. He showed him the front of a car, which symbolized a frame of time (for car models come out in seasons and for durations of time). The pastor then said the rapture was sooner than we think. All of this happened days after God designated summer as the season of the rapture. It's hard to believe He’s finally coming, especially with all the false alarms sounding. Hosea 5:15 tells us the Lord will go back to his dwelling place until Israel admits their guilt (in reference to his death). Hosea 6:1-2 says “After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight”. Some apply 2 Peter 3:8 that compars 1000 years to 1 day. Hence one could make the case of 2000 + years passing= 2 days in the Lord's eyes. Thus the third day (1000 year reign of Christ) will be the third day. These calculations are good for setting general time frames but some have erred by using this and similar calculations ( i.e May 21st rapture). It's important we here the Lord's voice concerning the proximity of the rapture in addition to our own calculations.
Jesus told us "my sheep know my voice" and I know the voice and spirit of my Lord! That voice says “I am here." Thus be encouraged and begin to eagerly prepare for your new home. It's going to be awesome
Get pumped!
Love,
Shana Dorsey
P.s remember, check out my post "Rapture Explanation". There I will talk about the awesome parallels between the Jewish Wedding and our Marriage to Christ.
