Suddenly – In the Twinkling of An Eye!
RR ^ | 9/30/20 | Jan Markell

Posted on 09/30/2020 8:10:01 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Last days’ events happen quickly. Even suddenly. The word “quickly” (Greek word: tachos) is used eight times in Revelation. Think of an automobile tachometer which measures the working speed of an engine typically in revolutions per minute. And it revs up.

We often see sudden destruction falling upon the wicked in the Bible. The unrepentant living during Noah’s time, experienced a sudden and catastrophic flood (Gen. 6-9). They had 120 years to repent as Noah preached to them, but they chose to ignore him and judgment suddenly fell (Gen. 6:3-7).

Have you noticed that in 2020, everything has happened suddenly?

Our fairly ordinary world suddenly vanished. Stores sold out suddenly. Fear gripped America—and the world—suddenly People were ordered to suddenly totally change their lifestyles. People lost businesses of a lifetime suddenly. A U.S. President went from popular to “the cause of it all” suddenly. Reality became surreal suddenly. Cities turned into ghost towns suddenly. Mankind became lovers of self, treacherous, and without self-control suddenly. Cries for global government transpired suddenly, as only a one-world system could slow down the wreckage. Virtual became the new way of doing all things suddenly. The U.S. economy went from best ever to horrible suddenly. Church went from essential to irrelevant in the eyes of the world suddenly. Hollywood suddenly stopped making sick movies as theaters suddenly closed. Order turned to chaos suddenly with racial tension. That tension suddenly turned to lawlessness. Lawlessness turned to anarchy suddenly. The cry for police protection suddenly turned to “abolish the police.” Common sense simply turned suddenly to strong delusion. Is there a message in all of this? Something else will happen suddenly—the Rapture of the Church. It will take place in the twinkling of an eye. That is so fast it can hardly even be measured.

When God begins to move, He doesn’t waste a moment. But He does take time to warn before He judges. And He seems to be telling us that things are going to change for Eternity suddenly via the Rapture of the Church.

With the way this year has gone so far, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit to see the Rapture by December.

End Times Ping

Just to be forthcoming, there is a major Spiritual War here on FR between Christ-Deniers who scoff at Scripture regarding Dispensationalism & Soteriology.

The scoffers & naysayers will be here to spam as usual their tripe.
Do not let them take away your Blessed Hope!

Matthew 5:11 is a good verse to describe what Jesus says about those who scorn you and falsely accuse you.

Understand that this is a major sign that the End Times are upon us - but the unbelieving world will not see it and scoff even more. Peter predicted it.

PM me if you wish to be added to this Ping List or removed.

God Bless You and Maranatha!

That’s a phrase I haven’t heard in awhile.
Thanks for the reminder!

That book is probably very on point with all that is happening now.

Hollywood Stars Rip Debate Moderator Chris Wallace: ‘[bleep] You’ ‘Worst I’ve Ever Seen’
www.breitbart.com ^ | 29 Sep 2020 | David Ng
Posted on 9/30/2020, 7:12:21 AM by Red Badger

Hollywood stars ripped Fox News’ Chris Wallace for his role as the moderator of the first presidential debate on Tuesday, saying that the news anchor was too timid and lost control of the proceedings as President Donald Trump took control of the stage through sheer force of will.

Chris Wallace — who repeated that false Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax and erroneously referred to critical race theory as “racial sensitivity training”– had trouble maintaining even a semblance of order as President Donald Trump went on the offensive, dominating the show by aggressively interrupting and heckling Joe Biden.

Celebrities seemed frustrated that Wallace was unable to rein in President Trump, who took a steam-roller approach to the debate, dominating the proceedings through locomotive-size force.

Bette Midler tweeted that “Chris Wallace is a wuss.”

Actress Kerry Washington tweeted, “Is there an understudy who can step in and play the role of moderator?!”

Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus urged Wallace to “get control” over the debate.

The West Wing star Bradley Whitford joked that Wallace would “be a terrible substitute teacher.”

Scrubs star Zach Braff called Wallace the “worst.”

Seinfeld writer Larry Charles simply tweeted, “Wallace sucks.”

While I disagree with Cronos on another of your threads, let's not confuse the issue. The Lord will have to shorten the time of the Tribulation for the sake of the elect.

King James Version:

“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”

Berean Bible version in full context of Matthew 24:

3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

4 Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

5 For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Witnessing to All Nations
(Mark 13:9–13; Luke 21:10–19)

9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10 At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another, 11and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.

12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. 13But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

The Abomination of Desolation
(Mark 13:14–23; Luke 21:20–24)

15 So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’a described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17 Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house. 18And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

20 Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.

23 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

25 See, I have told you in advance.

There is no such thing as a rapture of the saved.

Correct and He will shorten the time - but the elect during the Tribulation is distinct from The Church. Almost all of the verses you lay out are directed toward the Jewish Nation.

Oh brother. Another rapture by December thread. You realize that ‘rapture by December’ has been predicted countless times for 2000 years right?

I’m good with that.
