Rapture, The Day of the Lord and Jacob's Trouble

I belive Our Lord's Rapture will be SOON, even this Rosh Hashanna Sept 29-30 of this year 2008 (or perhaps next year).

So we best be ready.

It seems like the world is ripe for "The Day of the Lord" and "The Time of Jacob's trouble".

Frankly, I think those three events (Rapture, Day of the Lord, Jacob's Trouble) are linked and they are going to happen at the same moment.

God will snatch away the believers and be our Rear Guard as turmoil and war breaks out on earth.

This world is a dangeous place.

Because just like Noah and the Ark, they were rescued in the ark, but at the same time the rest of the world perished.

The Rapture is to be our glorious home coming, but those left on earth will face "The Day of the Lord, who can stand?"
see my references below on "The Day of the Lord" listed below.

The great part is that the Rapture will snatch us away, and we'll be taken to the wedding banquet of the Lord for the wedding of the Church in heaven.

Did you know, the Jewish wedding feast lasts 7 days, one week.

And that the Tribulation is also 7 days, one week which is actually 7 years.

I don't think that's a coincidence.

And as far as Jacob's Trouble is concerned, "it will be a time of Jacob's trouble, but they will be saved out of it" The Jews are in God's special care.

The bottom line is, I think NOW is the time for all of us to be mindful of our relationship with God.

To Watch and Pray and to be ready for the Blessed Hope that is in us, and to be sure to REPENT of our sins and get right with God.

That's the problems, how do you share that with your family, friends and neighbors?

My theroy of how it will happen doesn't really matter, what matters is, God Knows.

I believe it will be all His Perfect Timing.

But I'm just saying, I believe it and I'm looking forward to God's Truth, Justice and the fulfillment of the Word.

See references below of the Day of the Lord. Interesting reading.

2 Peter 3

The Day of the Lord

Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. 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? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.More references to The Day of the Lord:Isaiah 2:6The Day of the Lord ] You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob.
