 The troubles the rapture seems to bring to our future

 Here is the rapture as I see it. Around November 30 there will be a change that will take place. A transformation will sweep across the world. It will change men and women and even children. In one day the world will be changed. It will take place from the time you wake to the time you go to bed that night.

 Now will it be the fast action of scripture? Yes it will. It won't be a but but it will be a change. And that is where you and I need to get straightened out.

 The true fact of the rapture is that God is coming. He is returning and that means He isn't coming back only to leave. Some think that God is going to raise us to Heaven or heaven where we will be with the Lord. Now that is the scripture and that is the truth. The real point of this essay is to help you find a way to overcome the lies that sin has raised.

 Lets raise a few truths to counter them.

First we will be with the Lord. That is true. It will be forever. But it won't be a face to face forever. That is the point we need to make clear. Face to face means that we are forever in Gods throne. Throne refers to Heaven and Heaven is the place where God dwells. Dwell means home and it is His home. It is not everyone's home. Some of those who are to come will not live in Heaven but on earth. Jesus talks about returning to earth and dwelling here. David talks about being a King in Israel. There are others who want to be part of the kingdom of God on earth.

 I plan to be part of that Kingdom. It is a Kingdom and it is a place where God will give us rulerships over towns and counties and cities and states and countries. Some of us will rule nations and some of us will rule worlds. It depends on who we are now and how much authority we can handle. The more we handle the greater the authority. If my authority is with God then God will raise it up to even higher levels depending on how much I can handle. If I don't want higher levels but do want to please God then He will raise me up to places within the Kingdom. As in higher levels of knowledge or understanding. And that is again part of scripture.

 Now we know that this should be a pot pouri of knowledge. So I'll tend to wander a little. Forgive me if I get off.

 The fact is the day of the Lord is meant to be after the rapture. The rapture is meant to be part of the first 3 years of the Tribulation. Which means that we are in the first three years. It is a time when God transforms things and moves us to levels to prepare us for what is to arrive. The final four years will be of war and it will be a tough time for those on earth. It isn't meant to be for men who want life. It is meant to be for those who wish to fight.

 Now this is the part where we who are alive and remain need to know how God tends to work things. I know that we could argue it but I'll just say that after the rapture there will be a time when God will raise up those who are to remain. They are people who were prepared and are prepared for the end days. They are people who will be given vast resources. And that means vast resources to help prepare. And that again is part of this story.

 It also is a time when God will reveal to those who are in Heaven that those on earth are preparing the way. And that means they will remain and fight so that we who are in Heaven can have time to fight on earth.

 In other words if God heals me and I work for Him He might bring me to a place where I can live and then move around on earth. I would begin to move back and forth from Heaven to Earth and so on. That would become a bridge between Heaven and Earth as I travel back and forth. And it would be an access point from Heaven to Earth.

 Now I wrote that there will be a time of thunder and there will be. That will be Heaven breaking the Time barrier. It will also be a time when there will be changes taking place on earth. Men will see signs and wonders. Miracles will happen. People will begin to change and be transformed. People will see mountains move and it will be a time when faith begins to progress. It isn't meant to move all mountains but some are needed in the sea so they can begin to channel the sea into places it needs to go. And also to become refuge for people who need help.

 So think of there being a thousand mountains around the world which are off limits. Those mountains are in places where no one ever goes. So God says "They will move" and they will be changed in one day from earth to sea. And those thousand mountains will become a chain which will circle the earth. They will become stepping stones and places of refuge for those who are to come. For the world is meant to be filled up and it is not meant to be a place of fear or worry.

 So the mountains will be moved and stabilized within the floor of the sea. The tops will be changed from peaked to rounded so people can find purchase. Some will be changed in route and others by people who move to them. Seed will be given so people can change the land and plow it. Soil will be carried in so the land can be fertile. Nature will do some of the work but others will find it will change when they pray. And some will be in the tropics and some in land that will be semi-tropical and some where winter will come. It will be a sort of variety which God will let happen. And it will happen within the next ten years. So this is something we all will be part of.

 Now this day of the Lord will be a time of change. It will be a day of war when men fight with God. They want to and they'll have their opportunity. It will be time when evil nature is gone and the sin nature is that which is part of men. Evil will be destroyed within the next while. As in soon.
 

 Now some might wonder about the rapture. Will it be literal? To answer it is simple. Yes it will be literal. In one day the entire earth will be changed. Those who are of the binn will be called together. They will be brought to Heaven and be given scythes. It is symbolic but the scythe is meant to represent the troop gathered for the final harvest. It is called the binn. And it will be the binn of things to come.

 Now when people get to Heaven they don't have to carry a scythe. As I say it is symbolic. Perhaps in a way a matter of taking the sickle from death and carrying it into life. And if that sounds strange remember death and evil will be no more. That doesn't mean you have to kill your salad in Heaven but it does mean that death as the nature of evil will be gone. And so that means salad days are still on the menu.

 There are a thousand areas I could go but lets try to bring things back to the present. It is March and we are half way through the month. What does the next short while hold for man?

 The answer is clear that God is going to deliver us. As in those who are sick and those who are ill. Not everyone will like this coming deliverance. Think of it big time and remember God is going to do this. Imagine that in one day all the hospitals in all the world were empty of everyone. That is that needed a hospital or doctor.

 Now there are skinned knees and broken feet and pregnant women which will be dealt with. But God will wake up those in coma care. He will take those who are brain dead to Heaven and those who are sick to life. He will take out the illness in society and it will happen soon. It will change everything because suddenly people will feel better. Some will want to go out and spend money. And it will be tough as no one is rich enough to spend what they will feel like. As in everyone will feel like a million bucks.

 Now this is a time when evil will try to rise up in men. And that means in the next little while. And it is evil which will try to destroy the market. I'll just say that the market isn't Gods and it isn't mine. It will fail and it will fall and it will be taken into a nose dive in a day.

 Now there is some things I write which isn't always right. Recently I said that the market will linger like a sickness that refuses to end. And that is the way it will be in some ways. It will collapse and it will linger. It will be changed from mourning to dying. And it will be men who put their trust in bond and in stock and in mutual fund and in things that are not of life which will collapse the market. Now what about shares? Those are of people and perhaps as stock they will survive if the people can cling to them. But remember the Net isn't there in reality and it won't catch anyone if you fall. And it will fail but that is a good thing for those who have time. And money. Think of it as a time when money flees and people hate things and people buy only what is needed. It will be a time when 10,000 will be enough for a day and then some.

 Don't worry. God is in control. And He knows evil is sly and evil. So just let it rest and don't worry for it is coming to pass. And God will finish what He has started. And that is all she wrote for tonight.
