LOL!
Well, it’s nice to know when it’s NOT going to happen.
Not one single prediction of the rapture has happened yet on the day it was predicted for.
On which side of the International Dateline??
On which side of the International Dateline??
Being raised with barely a whiff of Christianity and the occasional nod to appearances on holidays, I graduated childhood without much organized religious indoctrination.
Now older, according to the calendar, my need and curiosity have me working through other people's theories and arguments along with my own, same as everyone else, but without the "US vs Them" need to prove the way that I was taught is "The Correct Truth".
Fact is, I'm ignorant about much, but hopefully my ego will let me learn without its getting in the way, as seems to often be the case with the indoctrinated.
While their interpretations differ, I've read that what some Protestants think of as "The Rapture", some Catholics might think of as "The Warning" and some Orthodox might think of the "Purification Day".”
I've been reading True Life In God for a while now and, for what it's worth, the message of September 15, 1991 is called: The Purification.
For our further reflection, this quote from Blessed Pius IX:
"There will come a great sign that will fill the world with awe. But this will occur only after the triumph of a revolution during which the Church will undergo ordeals which are beyond description."In my seeking, I'm trying to be a good, data taking researcher and this much I know: Something BIG is planned for the world.
What that BIG something is is a matter of great speculation leading to some creative redefining, but I'll bet at least one third of our time's modern church are wrong about "The Rapture".
Won't "they" be surprised!
