'@ruthparks5120 If you pair v.15 with
Mark 13:24-27 then we have a #solid
case against pre-tribulation raptures.
1 Thessalonians 4:15 | Death is Sleep
By the word of the LORD, we declare
to you, we who are alive and remain
until the coming of the LORD will by
no means precede those who have
fallen asleep.
Mark 13:24-27 | Return of JESUS
[Matthew 24:26-31; Luke 21:25-28]
But in those days 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 the tribulation:
‘The sun will be darkened, & the moon
will not give its light; ²⁵ the stars will
fall from the sky, & the powers of the
Heavens will be shaken.’
²⁶ At that time they'll see the SON of
MAN coming in the clouds w/ great
power & glory; ²⁷ & HE will send out
the Angels to gather HIS elect from
the four winds, from the ends of the
Earth to the ends of Heaven.
also contemplating how Holocaust
survivor Viktor Frankl wrote a book
his experience at the death camps
& in it he noted the vast majority of
people curled up & died as though
𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱, when the
𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻
𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺; & Tim
Keller noted that only GOD cannot
be taken from us.
unless our house [purpose in life] is
rooted in the ROCK of Ages [JESUS]
then when the storm [or Holocaust]
comes a knocking & Nazi's start to
seize everything from you including
your mind by performing lobotomy
none of it will make sense, until we
see #devil is allow to do everything
but kill us, like he did with Job.
And isn't that interesting that JESUS
said in Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes
to ME & does not hate his father &
mother & wife & children & brothers
& sisters—yes, even his own life—he
cannot be MY disciple.
Because it was Job's wife who told
him to curse GOD & die like the vast
majority of ppl who died during the
Holocaust..
unless a seed falls to the ground &
dies, it remains only a single seed.
If it #dies, it produces many seeds.

When A Low Key Demon Tricks You | C.S. Lewis [John 12:24-25]
In 1941 C.S Lewis introduced us to a senior
demon called Screwtape who is teaching his
younger nephew Wormwood how to capture
souls for the devil.
One day Screwtape told Wormwood to come
here because I want to tell you the three most
poisonous lies that will trap millions in Hell:
1.] lie #1 tell them science has disproved GOD
and that the Bible has no evidence to back
it up
2.] lie #2 tell them they're a good person and
that they don't need JESUS CHRIST to get
into Heaven; &
3.] lie #3 which will ensure that Millions upon
millions of souls will be lost in Hell forever
is this, "tell them they have plenty of time"
Tell them they have all the time
in the world to make a decision.
My dear friend some of us do not have plenty
of time—some of us will not even wake up to-
morrow, so I beg you come to JESUS CHRIST.
Right now before it's too late & if this Message
personally helped, please consider subscribing

My husband at the ripe old age of 44 woke up,
said he didn't feel well. Called into work for a
sick day. He died at 12:50pm that day
@ruthparks5120 | July 21, 2023
Read first Thessalonians 4:13-18
My husband died at 42…
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 | Brothers, we do not
want you to be uninformed about those who
sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like
the rest, who are without hope.
¹⁴ For since we believe that JESUS died & rose
again, we also believe GOD will bring with
JESUS those who have fallen asleep in HIM.
¹⁵ By the word of the LORD, we declare to you
that we who are alive and remain until the
coming of the LORD will by no means
precede those who have fallen asleep.
¹⁶ For the LORD HIMSELF will descend from
Heaven with a loud command, with the voice
of an Archangel, & with the trumpet of GOD,
& the dead in CHRIST will be the first to rise.
¹⁷ After that, we who are alive & remain will
be caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the LORD in the air. And
so we will always be with the LORD.
¹⁸ Therefore encourage one another with
these words.

I'm still seeing a lot of angry takes in the tags about how excessive Watcher's current costs are and how all fans really want, apparently, is "just shane and ryan sitting in a basement" back again. While I do think Watcher is probably spending over budget and that's a real issue, a lot of the takes I'm seeing show a fundamental misunderstanding of how video production works and where costs actually lie. So a few quick things that I just keep seeing that are bothering me:
It was never just Shane and Ryan in a basement. BFU did a great job selling that conceit and making sure you never saw anyone beyond them and maybe TJ, but they absolutely had other crew members with them on ghost hunts and they didn't do all the work on BFU themselves. This Q&A from Season 2 lists 36 people on staff for Buzzfeed Unsolved. It's fair to make arguments that Watcher may or may not need 25 people, but those arguments should not be coming from a place of "before it was just Shane and Ryan and nobody else."
If you don't know how many people are needed to make a professional video from a TV/film standpoint, you will not have a reasonable grasp of why Watcher wants to keep 25 people on staff. Sure, some YouTubers get by with a ring light and a contracted editor. The Watcher team have stated repeatedly that they do not want to work as just YouTubers and see themselves more as a production studio—so why do people keep referencing the YouTube model to understand their business? This is like asking the local shake shop why it doesn't function like the kids' lemonade stand down the block. The item category is similar but they're not trying for the same products or process.
The "gold dusted food" is not the big budget sink you think it is. On most TV shows I've worked on it's normal to partner with businesses that are shown onscreen and work out a deal where the price of the product (in this case the gold food) is reduced or eliminated in exchange for the free publicity. Watcher very likely made a deal with every restaurant it worked with to make the Korea trip affordable for the company. The real budget spends are on things you're probably not seeing but that still matter: camera and lighting equipment is expensive, insurance for that equipment is expensive, business overhead and paying your staff are expensive. So again—it's fine to critique Watcher for the streaming plan and the perceived budgetary issues, but go into this knowing the costs might not be coming from the things you see onscreen.
My source is that I work in TV and film and actually have a clue on how the industry functions. Again, 36 people worked on Unsolved (and those were the people mention in Season 2—who knows how big the team blew up past that in later seasons). Entertainment work is real work, and demands decent equipment, competent staff, and the same types of business and budget problems you'd find in any other business (overhead, staffing, etc.). Feel free to critique Watcher's business model, but first try to understand where that model is coming from and what goals it's attempting to serve.
