Hello, I don’t have any Christians around me to have a discussion with. I hope to talk with a few people about their opinion of what’s going on in the world, and how it pertains to Christians and the rapture.
Rapture?

It's hard to deny the world's falling apart. As far as the rapture, we should always watch and be ready. "Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Matthew 24:44
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Daniel did not understand because he had a limited view of the world.
The book is sealed because a person cannot understand until the end time.
Because many shall run to and fro, advanced travel, and knowledge shall be increased, advanced technology, which then the saints can see, hear, and know what is going on in the earth which the world's nations will come together with an operation that is not of God and go against all people who oppose them.
The disciples would be in the same position of Daniel not being able to understand so they could not see, or know of these things without technology.
So Jesus must be telling the Christians at the end time which we can see, hear, and know these things now.
So it is the end time.
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
The new age christianity that interprets the Bible according to the occult and evolution, and people are going to evolve to be spiritual, and greater, and Jesus became an ascended master among others, and there is no personal God, but they honor the God of forces the power of nature, and the New Age Christ is the next world teacher.
The time will come that people will not want to hear the truth of the Bible but want to hear it according to the new age.
The United Nations supports new age organizations.
The new age is what causes the world to rebel against God.
The new age had a hand in the 1960's counter culture movement, feminism, LGBTQ+, and the Woke movement.
They have to knock down the major influences in society to be able to influence society which are white people, men, straight, and Christian, and boost the minor influences.
The Woke movement will accept the new age so they are trying to make it the major influence.
Marilyn Ferguson wrote a book The Aquarian Conspiracy on how to influence society to reflect the new age and she said change children's education which they influence the children so they will be accepting of the Woke movement.
The top leaders of the Republicans and Democrats are actually working together which is the Hegel System which they set up 2 opposing forces and then they harmonize them together with a balance between them which they believe is a better system than either system alone and it brings the people together.
Which on the back of the dollar bill, Announcing the conception of a new order of the ages, and out of many, one.
America and Russia were working together the whole time as the 2 opposing forces of the Hegel System.
Which the one world government will be a balance between democracy and communism, and the unified religious system a balance between atheism and spirituality, the new age christianity which they believe they are going to evolve to be spiritual, and greater.
WW1, League of Nations, WW2, United Nations, a set up to get the nations governments to work for peace on earth.
The Ukraine war a set up to get the people of the world to be on board for a one world government.
As soon as Israel and Hamas started fighting the nations started spewing out threats, and warnings, dividing themselves choosing sides, as a scare tactic, and to set the stage for the New Age Christ to negotiate peace in the Middle East resulting in a peace treaty for the world.
North Korea and America, Taiwan and China, a set up, and any other conflicts a set up.
Controlled conflict brings about controlled change.
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Israel as a nation has 70 weeks, 490 years, to be in the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.
69 weeks has passed with one more week, 7 years to go.
The last week was postponed because Israel as a nation was scattered in to the world.
Israel became a nation again so now it can happen.
The last week, 7 years is the time God allows the world to have their way and cause all people that does not love Him to follow the New Age Christ and brings Israel to the truth.
Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Eze 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Eze 39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
Eze 39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
Eze 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
Eze 39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Eze 39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
Eze 39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Eze 39:28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Eze 39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
God will restore the kingdom to Israel.
The New Age Christ, antichrist, will negotiate peace in the Middle East which will result in a 7 years peace treaty which will start the system of man going against the operation of God.
It will pave the way for all Hebrews to go to Israel for the Gentile nations will cause it to happen for the New Age Christ wants them all back on their land but God means it for good towards the Hebrews.
Jerusalem will be divided with the Palestinians, and the Hebrews will be able to rebuild their 3rd temple which they will go back to animal sacrifices.

Continued from above post
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Dan 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Dan 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Dan 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
The resurrection will not happen until there is a falling away first which is the condition of the world in response to the Gospel which they stopped the preaching of it world wide in favor of the new age.
And the man of sin claims to be God which happens in the middle of the 7 years period.
Then the saints will be caught up to Jesus.
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Dan 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Dan 12:6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
In the middle of the 7 years the New Age Christ makes war against the saints for three and one half years and then the resurrection and then Jesus will put down the world.
United Nations Agenda 21 for the 21st century which is known as Agenda 30 for the year 2030 when they want it implemented.
They want to move all people in to the cities, and no development can happen outside city limits, and the people are the police force.
They want to give the people a microchip under the skin linked to satellite like a GPS tracking system for humans.
They can watch the people, and know their location, and if a crime happens they will know who was in the area, and how close they were to the crime scene.
This will cut out judges, lawyers, and the now known police force.
All information about the person will be on the chip including finances for it is the one world economic system.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (G4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: - six hundred threescore and six.

From a primary word στίζω stizō (to “stick”, that is, prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), that is, (figuratively) scar of service: - mark.
The mark of the beast is something stuck under something and since it is given to a person it is stuck under their skin.
The New Age Christ's agenda is there is no personal God to help mankind but their technology can help them to deter crime, and have peace.
The new age is of the occult and the occult believes in the power of numbers and the timing, adding, and grouping of numbers which they believe will give them more power through nature.
6 is the number of a person, or the soul of a person, so the antichrist has the number 666, a triple 6, which he believes will give him more power to evolve to be spiritual, and establish his kingdom.
666 is the number that exalts people in the occult.
They want to convince the world if they embrace the number 666 they will have the power to evolve, and transform the world.
Donald Trump said that the federal government owns one third of the land, and he wants to build new cities on that land.
Trump said that America has been wanting to implement a biometric system for people on temporary visas, and if that was in place 911 could of been avoided.
Which he is telling them a microchip is a good way to deter crime.
The Democrats are using black people, and BLM, in their plan.
They found a way to cause their communities to crumble, get their support, and to use them for their purpose.
They gave them welfare, and whatever else they did, and got their support to use for BLM, and caused their communities to become crime ridden, and run down.
They use their communities to show that the police force is not the best solution to fight crime for they want to do away with the police loving they are saying defund the police.
They convince them of white privilege, and systemic racism, so BLM will push a communism agenda saying that is the only way white people and black people can be equal for then white privilege, and systemic racism are gone.
That is why the founders of BLM were trained in Marxism.
The United Nations want the world to be divided in to 10 sections with a leader in each section.
The Democrats do not secure the border for they want illegals running in to America and want it to get out of control so they can merge America and Mexico as the solution along with Canada as one nation.
Which Mexico and Canada are with that plan.
They give the illegals benefits to support them to enrage the Americans so they will be on board to merge them which then it would cease.
Donald Trump is working on making Canada the 51st state.
The New Age Christ will negotiate peace in the Middle East resulting in a 7 years peace treaty and the nations will come together.
He will push the agenda of the new age which he will think to change times and laws.
All Hebrews will go to Israel.
In the middle of the week he will claim to be God.
The world that follows him will take the mark of the beast as the solution to have peace on earth.
Repentance and salvation are no longer available to the world and the fulness of the Gentiles have come in.
God will send Israel 2 witnesses to turn them to the truth for three and one half years and at the end of the 7 years period Israel as a nation will be in the truth and the 70th week will be fulfilled.
The beast will make war against the saints for three and one half years and then the resurrection will happen.
The wrath of God will be poured upon the world leading up to the battle of Armageddon which Jesus will come back with all the saints and defeat the world and save Israel.

End times events have been speculated on for a long time. My own suspicions are that Satan has been moving for centuries to make his more to try to take over the world. I suspect he hijacked Western Civilization to manufacture the tools he would need to try to control everyone. Now that things are almost all in place, he needs us to weaken ourselves so that we would not be a potential obstacle to his plans. I suspect that if we try to resist, he may take drastic steps to enfeeble us.

I recently was listening to a sermon including the women with oil lamps, waiting for the bridegroom. I am very much looking for the return of Jesus. I am ready, and I also want to bring as many as I can with me. I will not stop praying for the redemption of the lost. Please pray with me. I know that prayer is powerful and God is good.
op: last days and rapture?
Yes, precious @MamaMia, we Very Well Could be in the 'last days' of Grace, as Paul spoke:
One of the Most Comforting (1 Thessalonians 4:18 AV) Doctrines I "have learned":
Rapture!:
Amen!
Yes, precious @MamaMia, we Very Well Could be in the 'last days' of Grace, as Paul spoke:
"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and
being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned
and hast been assured of, knowing of Whom thou hast learned them;"
(2 Timothy 3:13-14 AV)
One of the Most Comforting (1 Thessalonians 4:18 AV) Doctrines I "have learned":
Rapture!:
Amen!
To put is simply, yes we are in the end times. What to watch for? Satan will be thrown down from heaven, Rev 12:7-9, and come to earth claiming to be God, II Thes 2:3-4. He will deceive the world into worshipping him as God, Rev 13:11-14. Those that study God's word and know that Satan will come first, before Jesus, claiming to be him, will stand against him to expose him as an imposter with the Holy Spirit speaking through them, Math 10:16-20.
Rev 11:3-15 tells us that God's two witnesses will be killed by Satan and laid in the street (arena) for 3 1/2 days. After this period, the two witnesses will be raised back to life, the 7th Trump shall sound, and the true Christ shall return and his millennium reign shall begin, know as the "Lord's Day." The killing of God's two witnesses is a sign to watch for to know when the Lord's return is near. If you have eyes to see and understand this, you are indeed blessed and will escape the hour of Satan's tribulation simply by knowing the truth...that he is a fake! Wait and watch for the real Jesus that comes AFTER the workings of Satan, Mark 13:24-26.

Don't mean to discourage you, but this subject has been "discussed" many times on this forum.
You will get a lot of opinions and very few facts.
.
I've watched a number of films pertaining to the rapture and every one of
them left out the part where the remains of 2,000 years of deceased
believers will be restored to life.
The films also left out the part where folks unified with Christ rise into the air
to meet him. Instead the films showed them here one second and gone the
next, but I rather suspect the event should be easily observed all 'round the
world if it proceeds as described because 2,000 years of believers added to
the world's current number, will likely construct a flash mob resembling a
mini Oort Cloud when they levitate together all at one time to rendezvous
with Christ up in the sky from every corner of the globe.
The mob is likely to get pretty noisy too what with all the cheering, laughing,
and shouting that's sure to take place when Jesus' followers receive their
new bodies; which of course will be immune to death and the aging process.
(1Cor 15:51-53)
* The "blink" component of the rapture pertains to the miraculous
transformation that Jesus' followers will undergo during the event. (1Cor
15:51-52)
The films also showed tiny children being taken while their parents are left
behind. That's highly doubtful because minors have often been collateral
damage in the Bible when God slammed their parents, e.g. zero children
survived the Flood, and 120,00 would've been lost had God found it
necessary to follow thru with His threat to annihilate Nineveh. (Jonah 4:11)
NOTE: People left behind shouldn't let the rapture cause them panic because
it isn't the end of the world. They can still get themselves spared retribution
and perdition, viz: it's not like all hope is lost. In point of fact, vast numbers
of folks from all over the globe will be spared during the interlude between
the rapture and Christ's feet touching down on the ground to set up the
kingdom conditions predicted by the prophets in the old testament. (Rev
7:9-14)

I've watched a number of films pertaining to the rapture and every one of
them left out the part where the remains of 2,000 years of deceased
believers will be restored to life.
The films also left out the part where folks unified with Christ rise into the air
to meet him. Instead the films showed them here one second and gone the
next, but I rather suspect the event should be easily observed all 'round the
world if it proceeds as described because 2,000 years of believers added to
the world's current number, will likely construct a flash mob resembling a
mini Oort Cloud when they levitate together all at one time to rendezvous
with Christ up in the sky from every corner of the globe.
The mob is likely to get pretty noisy too what with all the cheering, laughing,
and shouting that's sure to take place when Jesus' followers receive their
new bodies; which of course will be immune to death and the aging process.

FAQ: What is the purpose of the rapture?
REPLY: It's primarily an evacuation.
For example Rev 16:17-18 predicts a global earthquake so overwhelming on
the Richter scale that cities all over the world will collapse at once.
Something like 2,829 lost their lives when the World Trade Center was
demolished by a terrorist attack in 2001. Well that was only a few acres of
New York City. Just imagine the body count when all of Manhattan comes
down at once along with other major cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Mexico City, Paris, Moscow, Beijing, Tokyo, et al.
The carnage will be beyond belief; and that's just one of the many life
threatening events set to take place.
FAQ: Supposing I don't believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. Will I be left
behind if perchance it turns out to be true?
REPLY: Well; it appears to me that the only prerequisite to participation is
that people be in Jesus a.k.a. in Christ. (1Thess 4:14-17) That being the
case, then everyone unified with Christ will be taken up whether the event
is pre tribulation, mid tribulation, or post tribulation.

Thank you , Howdy for taking a moment to comment. This whole website seems a little bit odd and the way that it’s laid out. At least the view from a cell phone is a little bit Janky. I’m not sure where to look for older discussions by specific topic unless that happens to be the title of the thread.

To the best of my knowledge thus far; Jesus is on track to return to
Jerusalem seven years after the rapture to set up the theocratic kingdom
predicted in the old testament, and of course everyone unified with him will
return too. Well; I for one plan on taking some time off to visit all the sights
I missed this time around.
For example, the only foreign country I've ever been to is Mexico and even
then just the border towns of Tijuana and Tecate so I have a lot to catch up
on; that's if anything is left. It appears to me from accounts in the book of
Revelation that the world will undergo catastrophic damage during the
interim between the rapture and the kingdom so I may be in for some
disappointment on a few fronts.
Oh! and another thing; according to Matt 26:29, Luke 22:15-16, and Luke
22:28 30, folks who make the cut for the kingdom will be able to dine upon
ordinary foods and beverages. Just imagine the pleasure of touring the world
and tasting samples of cuisine in every culture on earth; and in perfect
safety too because according to Isa 2:4 there won't be any war zones to
worry about; and Isa 11:6-9 suggests that danger from the animal kingdom
will no longer be a concern.

Thank you! I am incresingly seeing articles of animal interaction with people that seems as if we are being brought into a much more cooperative relationship.
Perhaps a part of the plan He is working out to redeem His creation for us.

Those are a lot of points to consider. There are many good arguments for the truth of the Bible, and a main one is that
world history is revolving around Israel with the UN aligning against it and US, so it/we might be forced to use the nuclear option,
which would begin Armageddon.
Not considering any "points" really.
What He says will come to pass as His plan to redeem His creation continues to forward to completion.
Continuing to ask for His Divine encounters to make, share and encourage disciples.
