Speaking of "The Rapture" and other stuff
I often puzzles me that people try to calculate the second coming. Many people seem to think the have Jesus' flight schedule. Does the saying "let the blind lead the blind" mean anything to y'all? Just a little food for thought before "church" people blast me.

1st Luke 17:20-24 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them. For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. Well ain't that interesting.

Now let's throw a little of this in there Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Stop worrying about him coming back an do what your suppose to do! (Matthew 22:34-40)

Next, people are telling you to run for the hills. Stock pile guns ammo and food. What happens if you're poor, with no money to prepare? Is this still relevant.“The righteous will live by faith.”?

Finally, at some point you have to put faith in something. Even if that means you have to put your faith in nothing. We are seeing a lot of crazy things happen. I've put my faith in this, Galatians 3:26-29 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Please don't get taken down this road of trying to pin point prophecy. It's a fools error to thing we can understand God's plan. And here's one last verse to leave you on 1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Can we please move passed the "Rapture" and realize we need to practice what we preach??
