Video: Question On The Rapture

Welcome back!
There are always questions on the Rapture, aren’t there. We all envision the event differently, I am guessing. Perhaps it will be like the portrayal in Left Behind with the people simply vanishing with clothes in a pile. Maybe it will be like another such movie that had the clothes neatly folded. However, it happens, it will happen.
Now, the thing is that I am not going to tell you WHEN the rapture is coming. Even Jesus did not know that fact. Only God knows this so I will not insult you by telling you times and dates. But, we are told in the scriptures that you can recognize the times and seasons. This we can do and should do as Christians. Guess what? The time is now. We are in the season of the Lord.
Too many things that are happening in the world point to the soon return of Jesus. Okay, is this going to happen like it’s been portrayed? People vanish and accidents happen? Shock takes over the world, then the bad guys? Is it going to be suddenly happening or quietly done? I can guess but that’s all it would be, based on what I have read in the Word of God. Perhaps it would be wise to read the books of Ezekiel, Daniel and the book of Revelation. “Oh, but I can’t understand the book of Revelation. Nothing seems to be real there.” Really.
Well, I can give you a way to deal with that. Please read the other books of God’s Word. By the time you get back to the book of Revelation (NOT revelations with an “s”), you will have a better understanding of how God speaks and it will become somewhat clearer. I say “somewhat” because it is unlikely that we will receive the full picture simply by reading. It will also take prayer and some time visiting with God each day. He is the owner of the Book and can tell you exactly what it says, word for word.
Spending time with the Lord will give you such insight that it will not worry you again about the times and seasons. You will have a need to get excited about His soon return. I used to pray that He not show up too soon because I had not been doing all that I should be for Him. Uh uh. That prayer does not work. We are expected to do our jobs for the Lord. However much you do is based on your faith and how excited you are to help witness. (My level of excitement had not been too high then.)
Anyway, I did promise you a video in the title of this post. So, here is a little something that says The Rapture as the title. Now, I can tell you here that I do not endorse this as THE way the rapture will happen, just a possibility. Check it out and then give me your thoughts and comments.

I am writing a story of fiction at the moment about Revelations, the river of life ect.
Over the course of the complete bible there were two ways to god. In the Old Testament it was through Grace, through the new is Jesus.
Just so happens, a city in Queensland, Australia is called Isa, and Isa is the Arabic name for Jesus. Ironically there is a river running through this city and it has two bridges going across it. One is called the Grace Street Bridge and the other is called the Isa Street Bridge.
The woman in my story is a mad woman convinced that this city is the holy city of Revelations.

That sounds fantastic and fascinating and I would love to see the end product. Great idea.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. Please let me know when you have that story available to read!
This is the outline I am using for the character. and yes, when the story is ready for the bookshelves, I shall let you know.
Rare Earth.
A life left behind in writing.
1960. Year of the rat.
The unwed couple had not known each other long, and in September of that year they shared how they felt about each other. Out of that a child was conceived (Virgo), so as Christmas came around, their lives were entertained by the coming of their first child.
The greatest entertainment value was actually biblical, because the child was not only going to be born in ‘61, the name of the town the couple lived in was called Isa. (Ironically an Arabic name for Jesus and if you’re particular which piece of wood you split looking for him.)
1961. Year of the Ox.
By the time the baby was born (Gemini), the couple were wed, and hopes were held that the child would be male. As far as entertainment value goes, it would have been the coolest thing if the child had of been born male, in Isa, ‘61.
Hopes were dashed somewhat on the entertainment value when the child was born female. Just for the hell of it though, they did get their little blue eyed girl christened by a presbyter, but they didn’t bother to give her a name from the bible. (Isabel had more to do with the name of the man who found and named the city Isa; now buried in the middle of the street, under what was once the town clock.)
Soon after that her parents divorced, and then her life became very mobile, moving from one home to another. Raised on ‘heaven won’t have you and hells afraid you’ll take over’, made her a lonesome child in a very male dominated community. Then although she was Australian, the year she turned 13 she was traded for the roof covering the rest of her family’s head.
For a year she belonged to a man called David, just like a couple would get engaged 2,000 years ago. She was allowed to go to school and nowhere else without him. He gave her two warnings not to talk at school, by shooting two of the pets she had for company. There was nothing in her room but cloths and books, but from him she got her first cigarette, glass of scotch and driving lessons.
He was free to come and go to her room when ever he liked, and he had three reasons to enter. The first was to flog her and bring attention to her doing something he didn’t like. The second was to share the love he had for her, and sometimes he just came in to catch her undressing. This Isa girl despised this man called David and everything he was about.
So the year she was coincided an adult in the eyes of god, she became the offspring of David. But by the time she turned eighteen and was considered an adult by the state, she continued to pass though the hands of many other child care representatives, jail being one of those places. She fell pregnant twice, but her caretakers took care of cleaning this up as if it was their mess to clean up, by the time she was 21.
And exactly where is this story going? It will be good if the person finds the Lord through or because of all of her tribulation.
Thank you for sharing this so far.
The woman in my story ends up in a padded cell after attacking the man David. Year after year she had struggled with the abuse he had dished out to her, and how it led to her loosing her two children. She knows that one of her children (Daniel) is still alive, but he was raised being told his mother never wanted him. He hates her, and it really breaks his mothers heart. He also has children of his own that she never gets to see.
My greatest difficulty has been trying to find the right things to say when she is with the preacher. Putting words into the mouth of a priest is a touchy subject.
Here is a little about the city.
The city is the same size as the Jordan catchment area, and the population is under 30,000.
The continent it is on is the same size as the holy city from revelations.
The city centre is in the east of the shire like the garden of Eden.
The city is also built either side of a river. In the centre of town there is a bridge called the Grace street bridge.(OT – Grace was how one reached god) One street over from that is Marian Street. It comes to an end at a big black star set in the road, and ends on the bank. Then the next street over is Isa street, and it also has a bridge over the river. (NT – Isa/Jesus was the way to god)
The Highway through the shire to the outer laying suburb of Isa is also the same length as the Jordan River.
Much of the story is complete. All that holds me up right now is what she says to the preacher and what the preacher says to her. The story covers the last 22 day of her life and two of these she spends with the preacher, just before she dies.
Any thoughts you may have on this, I would appreciate hearing them.
