Hello all,
I have seen many different ideas on many different things regarding what we are to expect in the coming days. I believe that the Lord will soon be coming to get those of us who believe in His wonderful gift, and have accepted Him as Lord and Saviour. I think it is coming very soon, as we see much of things predicted in the Bible coming true every night and day in our news. The Lord is to come with a great shout, and descend from Heaven. We who believe will rise to meet Him, with the dead rising first. This all happens in the twinkling of an eye, real quick. Then we go to be with the Lord forever! How cool is that! I have seen where some people get stuck on the last trumpet and believe that we are in for a mid or post trib rapture. I find that is not what the Lord leads me to believe. In 2 Thess 2:7-17, Paul is describing the condition to reveal the AntiChrist (AC). The lawless one cannot be revealed until the Restrainer (The Holy Spirit) is removed. Since the Holy Spirit resides inside of me and all other Christians, to remove Him would mean removing us. Christ said He would never leave us or forsake us. Therefore, We must be gone before the AC is revealed. I think that there is more than one trumpet. When I correlated the sequence mentioned in the Olivet Discourse between Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Matthew is the only one that actually mentions the Last Trumpet.
Either way, I feel that we are about to find out soon, and whatever God has in mind for me, I will follow Him. I pray that everyone else will too.
God Bless,
Faith

Other Places I Read
I Read on other sites. I enjoy reading Gracethrufaith.com, and RaptureReady.com, and I read and post on RaptureAlert.com.. These are all areas that have a lot of good information and good posting communities. I also have been reading on Joel Rosenberg's blog, his books are a joy to read, and he keeps things pretty updated on the blogsite. If anyone is interested in learning more, I encourage you to go to these other sites as well. Have a blessed day, I am headed to work!

Revelations
I love to go to the local Christian bookstore. I always need something to read, and I find books that are fairly current with correlation to end times prophecy most interesting. Of course with all the stuff happening so rapidly, it tends to be a little hard to keep up.
I picked up this book, Mystery of Iniquity, by Michael Rood. I read the back cover author's note, and this man is listed as a messianic moreh (Jewish teacher) and supposedly well known. I began reading this book and noticed that I got a really bad headache everytime I started to read. I couldn't concentrate on the words, they would get fuzzy quickly. I began to realize that I didn't agree with a lot of the author's opinions. He feels that the Rapture is a lie and that we who believe it are misled. I even told my husband that something wasnt right. After all, I want to believe the truth. I want to get this right. Was I mistaken? Were my beliefs in error? I did the only thing that I could do, I went back to the Original Source. I prayed that the Lord would help me see the truth and reassure me if my beliefs were right and help me to accept change if they were wrong. I went back to the Bible, and even used the Greek to KJV New Testament for original translation as close as I had. You know what? I wasn't wrong. The lord led me to believe that what I knew was on the right path all along. Then I looked up the author on the wikepedia site. Lots of information. This person isn't Jewish after all. He alo has a lot of connections to the occult, astrology, and has set himself up as a prophet yet he has been inconsistent and outright wrong on many occassions. I was almost led to question what I know to be true be a wolf in sheep's clothing! Praise God He led me back, and quickly. Like the Bereans, I began a seriously written down study for myself starting with Revelations. I have tons of notes of how I see it, and my goodness, how John was able to do all of it in the time frame he had is amazing. Yes, things I have learned previously came into mind, but not as a way to sway my opinion, but to verify what I knew. It did get even clearer now! It is truly amazing to feel the Holy Spirit working with you. He doesn't yell, it is that "still small voice" that gives you a gentle loving nudge. Praise you God for reining me back in from a dangerous place! Maybe later I will include some of my scribbles here to see.

I BELIEVE!
Good Morning Everyone!
I have never done this before, making my own site and all! I just want the world to know that I love JESUS CHRIST! He died for my sins and He rose again and one day, probably very soon, He is coming to take me home! I hope you can join me!
Since I very new to this, I would like to share some things about me. I am married, have three children, and live in the USA. I work in the health care system, my husband is an engineer/designer. I have seen other sites that I enjoy going to and when I can figure out how to put them up, I will share them with you!
I would like for this to be a place of hope and sharing, encouragement and love. I believe, as do many others, that the Lord is coming soon to take His Bride (the Church) to be with Him and there will soon be a horrific time of trouble on the earth. Why do I believe this? Because it is in the Bible. There is a way to be counted as His. You need to realize that you are a sinner and there is no way you deserve to go to Heaven. But there is good news! Accept that Jesus died on the Cross for your sins. He paid in full for you. You are forgiven, just ask Him to forgive you. Doesn't matter what you did, or where you have been. FORGIVEN. Let Him be ther Lord of your life, and follow Him. Don't slam yourself if you fail, or goof up, and sin again. Ask Him to forgive you, and He will. Be sincere. He knows you aren't perfect, but you know what? He loves you anyway! Really! And then let someone know! Your brothers and sisters in Christ will rejoice with you!! Let me know! I will be happy to pray for you and with you! The if you can, find a Bible and start reading, this is God's love letter to you. Try to find a Bible believing Church, or other people to be with. Fellowship is awesome!
I hope this can help some one, and give you hope. I will pray for you!
I Jesus' Blessings and Love,
Faith
