Good Morning Beloved,
I am reading a book called " FOUR BLOOD MOONS" By John Hagee . On page
89 of this book, it starts talking about THE LAST TRUMP.
I write that to say this.. A group of woman from my church has been watching cd's on the End Time.
I saw these cd's and I looked up more by the person who was speaking on them and found one on " The Rapture".. Now to go on and explain why two different views.
The series of cd's person says that according to 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52 that at the last trumpet we ( the church) will go through the tribulation.
Now this is what John Hagee says in the book FOUR BLOOD MOONS, page 89-91.
The Bible tells of a series of trumpets is recorded in the book of Revelation and they are seven judgments coming on the earth. The first trumpet ( shofar) sound recorded in the Bible is where the children of Israel received the 10 Commandments at Mount Sinai. The last trump is recorded in
1 Corinthians 15:52 when the church is raptured. The great trump is blown when at the second coming of Jesus Christ , as recorded in Matthew 24: 30-31 The sign will appear of the Son of Man in heaven.
We are to be watching for his soon coming to take the church..
There are so many different theories out there, we need to get into scripture and ask God to show us what we need so we can make up our own minds.. Please don't take someone at their word just because..... study to show your self approved like it says in 2 Timothy 2:15.
When we stand to be judged , we will be standing ALONE; so make sure of what you know.
I am sure that as I get more into this book I will post more.. I love the Word of God and I want to know more about it and what it is saying to us. Once again I am not a scholar nor a teacher just someone who loves the Word of God and wants to share what I am learning...
Remember to smile : It is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
God Bless you. Tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

The Rapture, Catching Away, Translated
Hello Beloved,
Christian folks everywhere are talking about the " rapture".. When will it take place? What do we need to be looking for before it takes place? What do I need to do to be ready for when it happens?
I was talking to a friend yesterday and we were asking questions like these and we went back and forth looking in scripture to see if we could find for certain when it would take place. We thought we had it all figured out ( at least I thought I had it all figured out.) So I go and talk with someone else about it and we go back and forth.... Is it a pre- tribulation rapture( something that will take place before the tribulation starts) or a post- tribulation rapture( will take place after the tribulation).
Well, I went and got out several different bibles and my Strong's concordance and went to digging for answers.. I studied till just before bedtime and still I did not know for sure what I was looking for. I got up this morning and I started with prayer and ask for understanding and wisdom of the Word of God..
Well, I started reading and I came across a reference that said " spiritually blind". So I looked up scriptures for that.. As I was reading in 2 Corinthians chapter 4,,, it hit me!
When the " rapture" takes place is not really the issue here... The real issue is AM I READY if it should happen today? Duh..... What happens if I go and get hit by a car, have a heart attack, lightening hits me, ect..... you get the picture. Will I go to heaven or hell? Do I understand the difference between them, heaven or hell.. You bet I do.... Heaven is being with Jesus. Hell is being without Jesus.
Do I think the " rapture" could happen today? Do you think that it could happen today?
I have decided that it does not matter if it is before or after tribulation, to me what matters is am I going to be ready to go.

Things on my mind
Good Morning Beloved,
A beautiful day!!! O' how I have missed the sunshine.. I was walking home from a friends a little
while ago and this is what was in my mind and so I just thought I would share it with you..
privileged: a special right, advantage, favor, ect... granted to some person or group.
destine: to predetermine, as by fate: to set apart for a certain purpose; intend
We are not all born privileged to parents in this world , but, we are all destine to be privileged.
We did not all come from a home of privilege but we can all go home to a home of privilege.
I hope this makes sense to you ...It makes sense to me...
Not all of us came from homes that were MOSTLY always right...You know the places I'm sure... Places like going to the " right" school, or the " right" clothes, the " right" church, the "right" you fill in the rest.... Some of us came from homes where it always seem to be fighting against something or someone.. But, no matter what kind of family you were born into YOU were destine to be a privileged person. It is a choice, yours.
Some people seem to just know how to do everything right, don't they? They bring their children up right and the children bring their children up right and so forth.. Why do you think that happens? What do these people know that others don't? Do you know a family like that? Where everything seems like it is perfect for them? I know a family like that.. On the outside it does look perfect but just like a apple you see how pretty it is on the outside and don't see the rot on the inside.. That is how this family is too. While the outside is nice to see the inside does have it's problems.. It is all in the way the problems are handled .
Now, the other side of the coin is like this... Some people seem to do just about everything wrong, don't they? They bring their children up wrong, and their children in turn do that to their children and so forth.. What is missing from these peoples lives? Why does everything seem to go wrong for them? Looking at them from the outside you can see all their rot . I know a family like this too..
But, you know if you take the time and really look you would see that the rot is just on the outside not on the inside...
First set of people were of the privilege kind, the second set of people were the destine kind .
It makes no difference what kind you were... ALL are destine to privilege.
Since Adam and Eve, man has been born in sin.. You , me, everyone of us are born in sin, but,
we all have a choice to make to be of the privileged.. Jesus Christ died for our sins and it is your choice to believe that or not.. I believe He died for me..... I chose to follow Him and be privileged for eternity not just a season. We are joint -heirs with Christ , if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified together.. Romans 8: 17 What a privilege it will be to live with Jesus Christ for eternity. These were just my thoughts on the walk home today.
