    The rapture? The comimg of Christ.

    Ok, hope his servants will not be too busy bickering over scripture to open the door. The sun is shining outside, I'm off and leave it to the scribes;)

    The rapture? The comimg of Christ.

    Pity I can't seem to edit, *starting this post I ought to say: -what I understand is- Jesus interrupts the feast to come knock at our doors *God has not given us secret codes, words etc. to calculate -and understand- coming events by

    The rapture? The comimg of Christ.

    I mean to say in this verse Jesus interrupts the feast to come and knock at doors.. again, i find that immensely interesting. And then to think who is He talking to in this verse?

    Now, as I am only human, i would like to share something i encountered when examining the subject of this post. It concerns 1 Thess 4:17, meeting Him in the air; In old times it was customary for a bride to meet the Bridegroom when he was coming for her, and accompany him on the last part of his...

    The rapture? The comimg of Christ.
