The Rapture: What Happens After Part Three

Hello Beloved,

Taking up where we left off ... Revelation 8: I will paraphrase a lot of this
so please get out your Bible and follow along... I will be using the KJV.
Revelation 8:1
" And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
Why do you think there was silence in heaven? Is it because we ( the church ) will be so awed at what we see or will it be because of what the seventh seal is all about?
v3-4 " And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer and there was give unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne." 4. " And the smoke of the incense which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angels hand."
v. 5 " And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire of the altar and cast it into the earth: and there were voice, and thunderings, and lightnings and an earthquake."
v.6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound."
v.7 (paraphrase) The first angel sounded and hail and fire mingled with blood,
and they were cast upon the earth and 1/3 part of trees burnt up and all the grass and was burnt up.
v.8 The 2d angel sounded and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and 1/3 part of the sea became blood.
v.9 1/3 of the creatures died and 1/3 of the ships destroyed,
10. the 3d angel sounded and there fell a great star from heaven burring as it were a lamp, and it fell upon 1/3 part of the rivers and the fountains of water.
11. And the name of the star is Wormwood, and 1/3 of the water became wormwood , many died because the water became bitter.
12. And the fourth angel sounded, and 1/3 of the sun was smitten 1/3 part of the moon and stars darkened, and the day and night 1/3 likewise.
13. an angel flying through the midst of heaven , saying with a loud voice " Woe, woe, woe to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels , which are yet to come!"
There is still more to come. What has happened so far sounds pretty terrible to me.
Are you ready to hear about the last three trumpets? Chapter 9: The first Woe:
Fifth angel sounded , a star falls from heaven to earth and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.. Who will this be? We know it is a person by the reference of "to him". He opened the bottomless pit and out of it arose smoke and the dun and air were darkened by reason of the smoke. And out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth, and they had power , as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to hurt the grass or any green thing, just those who did not have the seal of God in their foreheads. Not to
kill but to torment five months. Man shall seek death in those day and not find it.
In the next post we will find out what they look like.... tenderly with arms around you.... your sister in Christ Jesus..... vickie

The Rapture: What Happens After, Part Two

Hello Beloved,

In my last post I talked about the " rapture" and where you could find it in the
scriptures and today I want to talk about what happens after the rapture has already taken place...
In the book of Revelation it tells us what is going to happen...
Let's start with Revelation 5: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David. The Lamb of God, we know Him as Christ Jesus. Revelation 6: 2 Shows us that a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him and he went forth conquering and to conquer.. Who is that? Christ Jesus.
Rev 6:4 Red horse: War. : 6:5 Black Horse: Famine Rev. 6 : 8 Pale Horse: Death; Rev 6:9, fifth seal Martyrs, Rev 6:12, Sixth seal Cataclysm.
Matthew 24: Tell us the signs of the end of this age. Folks we are there. Many will come in my name, saying they are Christ and shall deceive many.. Now this we know has happened,,, look at Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshal Applewhite, and David Shayler just to name a few of the more recent. War and rumors of war, , again we know this to be true too... each day the news is filled with war...nation against nation, again look at the daily news.. these are beginning of the sorrows. We can't say the name of Jesus Christ anymore for it offends. We have seen through mass media the Gospel preached throughout the world. It has happened folks. We have a famine in this world , a spiritual famine. People loving themselves more than loving God... Do you not see this happening? I have so many things running through my head right now and I hope this is making sense to you..
When the church is removed ( the Saints of God are the church) it will be a time of trouble so bad the world has NEVER known it before.... How then if you are not a believer before are you going to stand up against all this trouble when it comes?
Maybe it will go something like this..... maybe....
You go to church all your life but you have not really made the commitment to follow all the ways of Christ so when the " rapture" happens you are left behind.
Now what? People will be flocking to churches to see what they have to do.. will you be one of them? Everything will be in chaos, cars on the road will pile up because some of the drivers were " caught up", planes falling out of the sky, because some of the pilots were" caught up", people standing in line at the grocery store and the clerk ringing up there order, gone, " caught up. Your talking on the phone and the other person is suddenly gone, " caught up".. You are sitting in church and listening to the pastor and while looking at him , poof! he is no longer there and the congregation is missing, and you see your alone, what happened?/ They were " caught up" to meet Jesus in the air... and you were left behind.. You sit there and cry , and start saying take me , take me, I believe, pleas O Lord, take me.. But it is too late to be apart of the " rapture". Now what do you do?
Stay on your knees and commit, REALLY commit your life to the only one who can save you, Christ Jesus. Get ready to die for the name of Jesus Christ....It is what will happen... It is going to be a time of utter destruction on this planet earth.. No other time in the history of this planet will be this bad.....
God is getting ready to pour out His wrath on the planet....
The seventh seal is opened.. Revelation 8:
This is a good place to stop till the next post. I hope you will continue to read this, it is for those who are left behind.. Don't let that be you..

Tenderly with arms around you... your sister in Christ Jesus. vickie

The Rapture; What happens after, Part One.

Hello Beloved,

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;( KJV) talks about the sudden coming of the Lord.
In verses 16-18 it says: 16.) " For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
In Matthew 24 it talks about the Signs of the end of this age.. I believe that it speaking about today, yes, today the one you and I are living in... In Matthew 24: 39-42 it talks about the coming of the Lord. How there will be 2 in a field and one taken and one left, two woman grinding at the mill, one taken and one left. This is saying the same thing as 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; a " caught up", or as most of us know it " The Rapture". 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52. See these and other references ... In Latin the word for " caught up " is " rapturo", where we get the word rapture from... in the Greek it is the word " harpazo" meaning caught up.
So we know that this is a real event that is to take place.. I will go on with this but first I must ask you. Are you ready for this event to happen? I mean are you ready for this event to happen to YOU? You really don't have to do much to get ready for it; all you need to do is just give your life over to the one, the only one, who can save you..... Our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, that is it... you just have to give your life over to Him.. NOW, if you want to be in the Bride of Christ you have some other things to do...". Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38 . This was Peter talking not Paul... So the choice is yours to be saved.... I am so praying right this minute that you will believe this and know that it is true and accept Jesus Christ right now... If you don't stand now how will you stand after the church is gone?
I will make another post on what happens after the rapture..
Remember: Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with others.

Book Review " One Second After"

Hello Beloved,

I have finished reading this new book. It was an eye opener too. It was fiction but like the last book I read it was based on true facts. The book is called:
" One Second After" by William R. Forstchen. It has a foreword by Newt
Gingrich. I think it is something we should all know about at least.
The subject is EMP: Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon.

The book is about a man who lives in mountains of North Carolina and how when this weapon is used it sends the entire country back into the Dark Ages.
At home speaking with his friend on the telephone and then all of sudden
the phone is dead and the ceiling fan starts to slow down , thinking it must be
power outage, he goes ahead with his plans to cook out on the grill. Soon his daughter says to him, " Dad, something is strange". Silence, no sounds of traffic, no air traffic, nothing.. What is going on?
There are cars stopped on the roads not moving , power out everywhere.. Is it a solar storm that maybe has short circuited? Oh, here comes the mother-in-law with her old Edsel car.... They take it out to see the reason for all the stopped cars... He tries to start his own car and nothing. Being a retired military man he has an idea of what has happened.... EMP.
This weapon works like this: when an atomic bomb is detonated about the earth's atmosphere it can generate a " pulse wave" which travels at the speed of light and will short- circuit EVERY electronic device that the wave touches on the earth's surface...( taken from the Foreword by Newt Gingrich).
So, now with nothing electronic working, anything that is run by computers, ie: lights , all medical equipment, refrigeration, ect.... What will happen?
War breaks out within the community , looting, shooting, food shortage, death.
To find out more about EMP and the story line you need to read this amazing book. Is there really truth to it, or is it just a sci-fi type book to read? I guess you wil have to make up your own mind, I have.
Remember: Smile today it is when you are the most beautiful you can be and someone needs to see it today. God Bless and tenderly with arms wrapped about you..... your sister in Christ Jesus... vickie

Just thinking Out Loud

Hello Beloved,

I just finished my morning prayer and it made me start thinking about things.
Things like,,, the vastness of the universe, and how far Jesus had to come to live among us. Why He did what He did for us, you know, dying on the cross... How it must have felt for Him here. Being down here and doing all the miracles He did and STILL people turned away from Him.. I can not image why?
I heard a preacher talk about Paul last weekend and how when Paul was in prison and chained 24 hours a day to a prison guard and not knowing when he would be taken to be killed, how he remained calm and in touch with Christ.
I don't know about you, but I have read and read and heard many time the words of Paul but for some reason when I heard them this last time, it clicked.
The scripture this preacher talked about was in Philippians 4: 4. You know it I am sure...
" Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say again: Rejoice!"
Now, you have, like me heard that and read that many times... but have you ever thought about what that means? I apparently had not, until I heard it last week... Do you want to know a secret? I think the secret is 'in the Lord always".
Doesn't matter what your going through ,, good or bad. If we will just remember that "IN THE LORD " is where rejoicing is suppose to be, not in the trouble we have or the good things , but "IN THE LORD"..
I know how hard it is to do this... I have had troubles where I forgot and also I have forgotten in my good times... But , after listening to this preacher and how it was said I won't forget anymore..... Just remember that in your times of trouble, to just step outside of them and remember that to have peace you have to " Rejoice , in the Lord always, again , Rejoice" .
I know that most people already knew this so today I am really just speaking to
myself, sometimes I am pretty slow at catching on... It is about having a close personal relationship with our Savior, our Lord, our Father, our Friend, Jesus Christ.. I am so working on this relationship....
I pray that today you will have that closeness too... Dear Lord, for everyone who would read this, I pray that eyes will be open, hearts will heal, and that whomever it is that they would know , no matter where they go in this earthly body that You are truly standing with them... and they CAN rejoice because You
are there with them... Thank you for my revelation in this ... I love you , Lord.
I pray for your will to be done.. In Jesus name Amen.
Remember : Smile , it is a free gift from God to you to share with others...
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you... your sister in Christ Jesus.. vickie

New Book Review

Hello Beloved,

I am going to give my opinion of a new book I just read.. The book is called
"The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery that holds the Secret of America's Future
by Jonathan Cahn.
Pat Robertson " Extraordinary" , Joseph Farah, " Stunning" Sid Roth," Mind Blowing " This is what you will find on the front cover of this book.
While this book is Fiction it holds in it some basic truths.. When you read this book please remember you can look these facts up for yourself...
The book tells a story about what happened to Israel back in Isaiah 9:10-11 (KJV) and then goes on to show how it relates to us here in America today.
I am sure we who were old enough at the time of September 11, 2001, can remember where we were on that day , what we were doing, how we felt as we watched our country come under attack.... We also remember the days following the attack I am sure.... But did we all know how it was connected to
what happened to ancient Israel? I would think probably not.. I didn't anyway...
Rabbi Cahn, takes us through scriptures and explains to us what he believes the meaning behind the attacks were..... Please remember , if you must, you can always look up the facts yourself..... Rabbi Cahn even gives you a listing of where to find them as he did....
I know I will never look at the scriptures in Isaiah 9:10-11 the same again... I know that it is time for the people of the United States of America to wake up
and remember how our country was started and by whom....I really cannot say a lot more or I will give away the eye opening experience of every person who will take the time to read this amazing book...
Dear Lord God,
I pray that if just one person see this and gets this book. I pray that their eyes be open and they truly know what it means to give their life over to the Living God who created them... Thank you , Lord , for Rabbi Cahn and the words you gave him to tell us......
Remember to Smile: God gave it to each of us to pass it on!!!
your sister in Christ Jesus,
vickie

Prayer Cloth

Hello Beloved,

I have had family issues on my mind the last little bit and it is things that disturbed me to the point of finally reaching out to an outsider ( someone not
in my immediate family)... I am first and foremost thankful for the friendship of
this person..... She is the most wonderful and knowledgeable person I know. I trust her with my heart. So I thank her. I soon found out it was not just her that I would be so grateful and thankful for today..
I ask if I could have a prayer cloth for my son and family and in a very small group of people we prayed over this cloth... ( I don't know how all of you feel
about a prayer cloth or even if you know of such a thing) a prayer cloth is a
cloth that is anointed with oil and then the elders of the church and anyone else
who loves to pray and loves the Lord come down and pray and then you put the cloth under a pillow of that person or they carry it on their person and miraculous things happen... prayers are answered. I did that today and I can tell you the power of the Lord came down and I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW, that
all is well for the future.
Do you remember my friend the "Yellow Road Warrior"? Well, she taught today
in class about the Holy Spirit. It was good.... After church was out several of us went into the sanctuary to pray over the prayer cloths and I am here to tell you
that the power of God cam down. If you have never felt that then you need to get in a close personal relationship with God. We prayed through to get a answer and I believe I got one.. May not have been the one I was thinking about
but I believe I got the answer. I am so thankful and grateful for the men and woman in our church that they will stay and help you pray through...
I wrote this all down in my " yellow warrior book" and I will let you know when
it is answered , OK? I love my church family.
Remember to Smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you... your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie
