While I would’ve welcomed Jesus Christ showing up in the clouds between the 6th and 8th but that didn’t happen. It might happen any other day from now on since the first prophecy leading to the Rapture (Christian Evacuation) began the clock ticking down to the Great Tribulation. Some Christians believe the Rapture won’t be until midway through the Great Tribulation while others think at end of it. I still believe the Rapture will be BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. My main reason is that the anti-Christ can’t take full power over the nations until ALL Christians are removed to safety.
Unlike the present United States of America government, Jesus Christ will NOT leave ANY of HIS own behind! Christians and Messianic Jews will be changed then translated/transported to Heaven. Whether another dimension or even another planet, it will happen when it’s time to vacate Earth. Some who claim to be Christian believe neither will happen, but since every single prophecy over thousands of years in the Holy Bible HAVE happened, I don’t think I’d discount this part since OUR LIVES depend on it! I don’t want any person to be left here to endure the Hell on Earth that will happen.
I know I keep referencing the Marvel movie ENDGAME, but it truly represents how things will be here on Earth once millions to billions of people disappear from around the world. You think the Covid-19 pandemic made getting any goods tough? You need to read the Christian Holy Bible book of Revelation to find the judgements by God Almighty the Creator of the universe that will be with seals, trumpets, and woes to understand how awful it WILL BE after those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior through faith are supernaturally removed. The anti-Christ will then take power.
Do you wonder where America is in all of this? Hmm… don’t see a single mention of a country that could be seen as America in any of the prophecies. Now there is the mention of the 144,000 Jews who are fleeing from the anti-Christ and are taken to safety at one point by the ‘Wings of an eagle” that has been attributed by many preachers to be America, but the only other scripture that uses that same phrase is in the Old Testament and could NOT mean America since we hadn’t existed yet. America has been an ally to Israel often and recently, but NOT now with present policies.
America is tearing itself apart in 2021. Everything that I have learned for my 49 years of life is being dumbed down, lied about, and even demonized as being all of the ‘ists’, ‘isms’, or ‘ics’ that I actually despise. Yes, I’m a white Christian American woman, but I’m NOT racist, xenophobic, or misogynistic. Unfortunately, this America is no longer the America I’ve known. It isn’t that of my parents born in 1913 and 1931 or my sister born in 1950. With the turning over of Afghanistan like it was done, I also see WHY we are not mentioned; we seem to no longer be a world power.
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again concerning this situation, “My father who fought in World War II would be madder than blazes over what is happening right now!” He did NOT fight and bleed for this country in World War II and defeat the Nazis to let our politicians destroy this Democratic-Republic now. His brother did NOT die in World War II for that to happen either! American soldiers never went into combat thinking about their service letting other countries take over ours. Our American people and their helpers are still stuck in Afghanistan. It’s no wonder America isn’t listed!
Do you think I’m happy about this? NO! America has always been THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE in my lifetime and way before I was even born, so this makes me ANGRY! Our country is BETTER than this! Well… we USED TO BE. That actually HURTS to type, but sometimes the TRUTH hurts in any medium. Yet we have former specialists who are BETTER, and I THANK YOU for all that you are doing now! My asking for the A-Team, Martin Riggs, and RED clones actually worked! Maybe God Almighty orchestrated that…
Yes, I do have a reason for pointing out all of this now that we haven’t left yet – WE NEED A CHRISTIAN REVIVAL! Remember? I typed that we needed a Rosh Hashanah Rapture or a Revival Rapture. The holiday is gone, we’re all still here, and yet I haven’t seen Revival begin! Yes, many churches are still locked down. Yes, many places require masks still. Yes, many people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. It’s September in Ohio, tree pollen is rough for me, and I don’t have a home church right now either. STILL… I would really like to find Revival soon.
I have song lyrics I wrote that I need to put to melody for the music. I have Eirinth Book 3 to continue to write. Christians should ALL and EACH have things they NEED to do to reach others now that we’ve been given more time to reach people for Jesus. If my throat didn’t feel so scratchy, if my head wasn’t hurting so much, and if I could finish this Op-Ed so I can post it where I post then I’d feel a bit better. Many have lost a loved one to Covid-19, so it’s hard to focus on being happy even if that loved one was also saved and went to be with Jesus before you. Revival still needs to BE.
With all that’s going on right now in America it’s easy to lose hope, get discouraged, and want to simply WAIT for Jesus to come. Even though we are told in the Holy Bible that we need to ‘occupy’ until Jesus returns to take us away, it’s hard to do more than sit down to think we’re occupying… occupying the church pew, occupying the couch, or even occupying the bed. We can sing sitting in the recliner with praise and worship music, but does that reach anyone else? It has been difficult with Covid-19 to do any in-person witnessing, book signings, singing, or church events, so now what?
I bought beautiful dress pants and dress shirts to wear for book signings and church appearances when my Eirinth Book 2, TREADING THE PATH came out in 2019, but then Covid-19 hit. I was upset through 2020 with not being able to do anything to get the word out about my book series to reach readers and wasn’t able to wear my clothes anywhere. I then lost my character artist I had worked with for the last 12 years for my novels when Covid-19 took her in May 2021. Loss can even cause Christians to question WHY they are doing anything. Don’t be weary in well-doing isn’t ever easy.
Giving to Christian and American groups to make a difference helps me to feel better since it helps those with a further reach than I have. Then again, I have people all over the world listening to my music, so I have been able to share about my faith, books, songs, and even Op-Eds that maybe one or more of those listening will be saved, encouraged, and even empowered no matter where they are right now. THAT is why I still do what I do. I try to live by my life’s pledge I adopted years ago, “I won’t give up, I won’t give out, and I won’t give in!” No Rosh Hashanah Rapture so REVIVAL!
What needs to happen is for ALL CHRISTIANS to follow the example of the Disciples of Christ when the Day of Pentecost happened, and once they accepted their callings they were unleashed with the Spirit-Given Gifts that they would need to SHOW this world back then exactly WHO HE IS. Jesus Christ in 2021 is asking this from US. The Christian Holy Bible tells us that we are each placed into the Body of Christ right where we can let the Spiritual Gifts given to us be used to the utmost for the Glory of God that can REACH souls so they find in Christ WHATEVER THEY NEED IN HIM.
It is knowledge kept from your understanding by the enemy – fallen mankind was given ONLY ONE way to be restored to the Creator of the universe instead of following His enemy that wants to keep you from Him so he can flaunt you as his victory. This is an ongoing war that began in the Garden of Eden and is in more than three dimensions. Yes, I write Fantasy stories, but Jesus Christ is NOT a fantasy, fallacy, or one of many gods. Jesus Christ is the mortal aspect of God Almighty born as a perfect human to die for imperfect mankind. HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH SO SEEK HIM!
