C’mon Up Hither

As I write this, it is July 26, 2023 (7/26 – otherwise known as Harpazo, i.e “rapture” Day: Strong’s G726). I can’t write this tomorrow, Thursday, which is my usual blog-writing day because I am taking a trip. I don’t think it is a trip up to the sky (no one knows the day or

Freedom in Christ

As we celebrate our country’s independence this week, we are reminded just how precious freedom really is. However, freedom is relative to what we think we are bound by. If we have an oppressive boss, we daydream about being freed from that oppression and finding a job we can really express ourselves in. If we

The Bride Hephzibah

The Rapture subject has been getting more attention lately than ever before. What I’ve been noticing, however, is just how many Biblical chapters talk about it. Yes, not just isolated verses, but entire chapters. Let me give you some examples: Zephaniah 3: The scene is likely Mystery Babylon, the “filthy and polluted…oppressing city”. The description

Eschewing

I spend a lot of time thinking about the end times. I think a lot of true Christians do. When I say ‘true Christians’, I mean those who follow The Almighty with all their heart and not those whose words attempt to honor Him but “their heart is far from Me” (Isaiah 29:13; Matthew 15:8).

The Rereward Gathering

I’ve said this before, and this is a concept I still believe: Whatever happens in the New Testament has a counterpart in the Old. I think I found the “Rapture” in the book of Isaiah. (I know there may be more, but this is what I’m focusing on now.) 1 Awake, awake; put on your

It’s Late on the Earth

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the “Rapture” vs. the Return of Christ. Some feel these are the same event; some believe in a pre-trib rapture, some mid-trib, some post-trib (likely when Jesus returns). This is a loaded subject, I know. I am certainly not going to try and convince anyone of any one of these

Mysterious Zion

We hear of this place called Zion in the Bible. In fact, it’s mentioned as Zion 153x in the Old Testament (with and without the ‘Mount’ designation) and twice as Mount Sion in the New Testament. (I’m looking at KJV.) In the Old Testament it could refer to the earthly place of David, the spiritual

Kingdom Testimony: Walking in the Kingdom of God

As we near the end of this age, or aeon, we should be coming more and more aware of what our life-walk has been about and if it has glorified God. What will our testimony be? In March of 2020, I had a post titled, “What is Kingdom Testimony?” Well, I’d like to revisit it

The Plucking

There are so many views of the “rapture” out there. I’m not going to say (right away) which version of the “being caught up” I believe is going to happen, but I do want to lay out some things to think about. This is as complicated a subject as all of eschatology (that’s a big
