			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/salvation/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2559" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 3px;" title="John 3:16" src="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/windownb9-300x300.gif" alt="John 3:16" width="135" height="135" /></a>Later this week, Israel&#8217;s calendars roll over from year 63 (since 1948) to begin year 64. If Israel is about to begin the last 7 years of the 70, there&#8217;s a good chance the church age is about to end.</p>
<p>Will the rapture happen within the next 72 hours? Only God knows. But he did tell us in his word that we would know the time was at hand if we were watching the signs.</p>
<p>The signs have stacked up so deep in the past year that it would be scary if one did not personally know the Lord. In the past few months, those signs have started appearing at warp speed.</p>
<p>They include UFO talk, earthquakes, animal deaths, advancing microchip technology, famine, drought, economic collapse, increasing evil accepted by the world, and the current topsy-turvy condition of our world. Good has become bad and evil has become the new good.</p>
<p>Organizations claiming to be christian churches are preaching anti-christian messages. Some preach there is no hell. Some preach that there is more than one way to salvation. They say Jesus is not the only way and the only answer.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re all wrong. There is a hell. There is only ONE way to avoid it. <strong>There is only ONE way to salvation and that is through the blood of Jesus.</strong> NOT through works. NOT through some new age feel-good guru. Not through Oprah or any other celebrity.</p>
<p>The media doom forecast for this week includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>comet Elenin alignment</li>
<li>volatile stock market</li>
<li>potential crash of U.S. economy</li>
<li>potential default of U.S. on debt if budget not finalized</li>
<li>increasing odds of war in the Middle East</li>
<li>Iran&#8217;s push to divide Jerusalem</li>
</ul>
<p>Rosh Hashanah begins Wednesday at sundown (Israel time), September 28. Many believers have considered this holiday as the time when the rapture will occur. Others believe the rapture will happen before Rosh Hashanah begins.</p>
<p>No matter what this week brings &#8211; be it catastrophe, rapture, or nothing unusual at all &#8211; God is in control. <em> </em></p>
<p><em>A real relationship with God is <strong>all </strong>that can sustain us through daily life and beyond.</em></p>
<p>So what should believers be doing for the next 3 days? The same things they&#8217;re always doing. Praising the Lord, spreading the word and living their lives for the Lord. Talking to God about everything in their lives, reading their Bibles, and praying for those who have yet to know the Lord.</p>
<p>One day the rapture will happen. One day the tribulation will begin. The tribulation will be far beyond any science fiction movie. It will be life and death, with a martyr&#8217;s death awaiting those who choose to side with God.</p>
<p>The world is ready for the tribulation. The foundation has been laid for the antichrist to control food, water, and every aspect of life. The foundation is in place for constant surveillance of everyone, everywhere. The foundation is in place for the devil to do his best to become God and to make his feeble attempt to defeat God.</p>
<p>The world is taking sides and going to great lengths to prepare for the battle. Now is the time to decide who you will side with &#8211; God Almighty or evil. Now is the time to accept Christ as your Savior, to press in and read the Word and learn to know, really know, God.</p>
<p>Whatever happens in the hours, days, and weeks to come, don&#8217;t be caught without God.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s plenty of stuff out there about the end of the world happening in 2012.  Well, the world has to get through 2011 first and things are getting really interesting.</p>
<p>A few high points:</p>
<ul>
<li>If once calculates from the year Israel became a nation (1948) we are in the 63rd year.  If this generation is the one that shall not pass before seeing the return of the Lord and the last <strong>seven</strong> years appointed to Israel, the tribulation could be starting one day this fall.</li>
<li>The rapture happens before (seconds? days? ) before the tribulation begins, so Christ could appear in the clouds anytime.</li>
<li>The birth pangs are greatly increasing &#8211; just today there were earthquakes in California, Virgina and New York.</li>
<li>August 30th (29th of Tammuz) is a potential rapture date.</li>
<li>Sept 9, 2011 is in the news for potential terror attacks.</li>
<li>Sept 21, 2011, Last Day of Feast of Tabernacles, potential rapture date.</li>
<li>Sept 26, Comet Elenin will come close. Some say the earth will be shaken and severely damaged when this occurs.</li>
<li>Sept 28, 29th, 2011, Rosh Hashana, potential rapture date.</li>
</ul>
<p>No matter what happens, God has believers covered. If you don&#8217;t know the Lord, you really should be making his acquaintance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reading the book of John this morning, a sad pattern quickly became apparent.</p>
<p>Over and over and over again, the Jews (and others) questioned Jesus’ origins, his statement of faith, his motivation and his supplier.</p>
<p>He’s come to us, down to walk amidst men, seeking to offer salvation and instead of being welcomed with open arms he is instead abhorred, ridiculed and treated horribly.</p>
<p>Scorned &amp; scoffed, long before the cross.</p>
<p>How much love it must have taken for Jesus to stay on earth and continue speaking, continue healing, continue delivering when the majority of those around him were not only unreceptive but also ungrateful.</p>
<p>He could so easily have said “forget it, I’m outta here,” and went home. Home where he was loved, valued, wanted, respected, and adored.</p>
<p>Instead, he held steadfast to the plan of the Father and held the course. (A true soldier.) He was a Savior on a mission. One of eternal life and death. The ultimate soldier. Failure was not an option.</p>
<p>He kept on speaking. He kept on healing. He kept on delivering. No matter what the opposition did to make his life hell-on-earth.</p>
<p>Christ loves us so much that he didn’t stop there. His mission wasn’t just to save and heal. It wasn’t just about putting up with hell-on-earth for awhile.</p>
<p>His mission took him right into hell itself. He vanquished death in one swift strike.</p>
<p><span id="more-2306"></span></p>
<p>God in heaven loves us, you, me, everyone, so much that He watched while Jesus was used and abused. He watched while his only Son put his life on the line, gave up that life, then re-claimed it &#8212; all that we might have eternal life.</p>
<p>Jesus Christ loves his Father and he loves us &#8211; you, me, everyone. He loves us so much that he willingly endured the scorning and the scoffing and kept right on doing the work of the Father, until that work led him to the cross.</p>
<p>Jesus went through hell to save us. Nothing, nothing could stop him from completing his mission.</p>
<p>When he left, he promised that he would return to save us – there’d be no believer left behind.</p>
<p>He will keep that promise and nothing will keep him away.</p>
<p>Scoffers, scorners, new-age manure, political agendas, satan himself and his demonic army, <strong>NOTHING AND NO-ONE can stop Jesus Christ from keeping his promise to return for those that are His.</strong></p>
<p>My Redeemer lives. Your Redeemer lives. He Rules. He Reigns. He will soon appear in the clouds, calling us to meet him, taking us away from all else.</p>
<p>Satan is powerless against this mission. He can do nothing but watch as all of those who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb are claimed by their Redeemer.</p>
<p>Politicians, world leaders, scorners and scoffers can say what they want and do what they desire but it will all come to nothing. They are powerless when facing the Son of God.</p>
<p>They can pass laws to starve people out, seek to kill them with poisons and with policies but their efforts are in vain. They can burn bibles, torture Christians and twist the truth but they can&#8217;t stop God.</p>
<p>It has taken the world several generations to try to erase the truth and the mission of Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>It will take a split second – the twinkling of an eye – one crystal-clear moment – for the world to remember and recognize Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>Son of God, Savior of all who believe, Second in Command only to God Himself.</p>
<p>Some will go from scornful to sorrowful in less than 60 seconds.</p>
<p>Believers will go from mortal to immortal in even less time.</p>
<p>Say what you will and believe what you want.</p>
<p>The truth is that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.</p>
<p>Consider this day who you will serve.</p>
<p>For Believers, the battle is almost over. Our Commander-in-Chief is about to sound the call.</p>
<p>For those who would refute Christ, you ain’t seen nothing yet.</p>
<p>Sister C</p>
<p>Jn 3:16</p>
<p><em>For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.</em></p>
<p>1Cor 15:52</p>
<p><em>In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.</em></p>
<p>Romans 14:11</p>
<p><em>For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Six Reasons Why All Christians Should Desire the Soon Return of Jesus<br />
Are you yearning or yawning?                  <a href="http://www.raptureready.com/featured/reagan/dr19.html" target="_blank"> by Dr. David R. Reagan</a></p>
<div id="attachment_2272" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 138px"><a href="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sunset.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2272" title="sunset" src="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sunset.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="96" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">For Believers, Every Day Could Be &quot;THE DAY&quot;</p></div>
<p>As every new year dawns, I find myself earnestly yearning that it will  be the year that will initiate the end time events that will lead to the  Lord&#8217;s return to this earth.</p>
<p>The first of those events will be the Rapture of the Church. That will  be followed by the Great Tribulation of seven years, a period of  unparalleled horror that will culminate in the return of Jesus to reign  over all the world.</p>
<p>The writings of the early Church Fathers (100 to 300 A.D.) reveal that  one of the earliest prayers of the Church was &#8220;Maranatha!&#8221; (1  Corinthians 16:22). That word is actually an Aramaic phrase that means  &#8220;Our Lord come!&#8221;</p>
<p>This prayer expresses a fact that is confirmed by many other scriptures;  namely, that the First Century Church had an ardent desire for the soon  return of Jesus.</p>
<p><em>A Waning of the Zeal </em></p>
<p>The Twentieth Century Church seems to have lost that desire. Most  professing Christians today do not pray &#8220;Maranatha!&#8221; They do not yearn  for the return of the Lord. Instead of yearning, they are yawning.</p>
<p><span id="more-2271"></span><br />
Christendom at large is caught up in apathy regarding the return of  Jesus. And that is sad, for the Word says that the return of the Lord is  our &#8220;Blessed Hope&#8221; (Titus 2:13).</p>
<p>Also, we are constantly admonished in Scripture to watch for the Lord&#8217;s  coming and to be ready. Jesus Himself said, &#8220;Be dressed in readiness,  and keep your lamps alight . . . for the Son of Man is coming at an hour  that you do not expect&#8221; (Luke 12:35,40).</p>
<p>Paul exhorted Titus to live  &#8220;looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our  great God and savior, Christ Jesus&#8221; (Titus 2:13). And as Paul faced  death in prison, he wrote:</p>
<p>I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept  the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of  righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on  that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His  appearing. — 2 Timothy 4:7-8</p>
<p>Think of it, Paul says that a special reward — &#8220;a crown of  righteousness,&#8221; will be given to any person who lives his or her life  loving the appearing of the Lord.</p>
<p>Are you a candidate for this reward? Do you have a zealous yearning in  your heart for the Lord&#8217;s soon return? Do you pray daily, &#8220;Maranatha!&#8221;?</p>
<p><em>Looking for Jesus </em></p>
<p>There are at least six reasons why every Christian should earnestly desire the soon return of Jesus:</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2273" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 257px"><strong> </strong><strong><a href="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/BeholdHeComes-1-2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2273 " title="BeholdHeComes-1-2" src="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/BeholdHeComes-1-2-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="247" height="185" /></a></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Christ is Worthy of all Glory</p></div>
<p>1) Jesus — <strong>When Jesus returns He will get what He deserves — honor, glory and power. </strong></p>
<p>When He came the first time, He was repudiated by the Jews, rejected by  His home town, and spurned by his family. He was persecuted by the  religious leaders, betrayed by a friend, denied by another friend,  deserted by His disciples, and mocked by the masses. He had no place to  lay His head. His only possession was a robe.</p>
<p>He was born in a stable, raised in poverty, nailed to a tree, and buried  in a borrowed tomb. Today, people scoff at Him and ridicule Him. His  name is used as a curse word.</p>
<p>That is not what He deserves!</p>
<p>It is going to be different when He returns. The first time He came as a  gentle and helpless baby. He is going to return as a mighty warrior. He  came the first time as a suffering lamb to die for the sins of the  world, but He will return as a conquering lion who will pour out the  wrath of God on those who have rejected the love, mercy and grace of  God.</p>
<p>His first coming was marked by compassion, humility, and a  willingness to be judged and to die. He will return in triumph and in  wrath to judge and make war against the enemies of God. He came the  first time as a Servant; He is returning as a Monarch.</p>
<p>Jesus was humiliated in history. I want to see Him vindicated and  glorified in history. And He will be because His Father has promised Him  that He will reign over all the earth (Psalm 2:7-9).</p>
<p>He has also been  promised that He will manifest His glory before His saints (Isaiah  24:21-23) and before the nations of the earth (Isaiah 66:18 &amp; Psalm  22:27-31). Paul says He is returning &#8220;to be glorified in His saints . . .  and to be marveled at among all who have believed&#8221; (2 Thessalonians  1:10).</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2275" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 224px"><strong> </strong><strong><a href="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Cemetery_copy.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2275" title="Cemetery_copy" src="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Cemetery_copy.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="198" /></a></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Death and the Devil Will Be Forever Gone</p></div>
<p>2) Satan — When Jesus returns, Satan will receive what he deserves — defeat, dishonor and humiliation.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sick of Satan. I&#8217;m tired of his plots and schemes and lies and  deceptions. I&#8217;m fed up with his sicknesses and temptations. I&#8217;m weary of  his physical, emotional and spiritual pollution. I&#8217;m disgusted with his  wrecking of marriages and homes. I loath his wars and terrorism. I  despise His ceaseless attacks on the Church.</p>
<p>I often feel like the martyrs portrayed in Revelation who cry out day  and night before the throne of God, &#8220;How long, O Lord, holy and true,  will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood?&#8221; (Revelation 6:10)  Like Isaiah, I want to cry out to God, &#8220;Oh, that You would rend the  heavens and come down!&#8221; (Isaiah 64:1).</p>
<p>The fate of Satan was sealed by the Cross, but his nefarious activities  will not cease until the Lord returns. At that time, the Word says that  God will deal with Satan decisively. Luke 18:7 says that God will  vindicate His elect who cry out to Him day and night by providing them  justice.</p>
<p>Romans 16:20 says that Satan will be &#8220;crushed.&#8221; The book of  Revelation says he will then be thrown into the lake of fire where he  &#8220;will be tormented day and night forever and ever&#8221; (Revelation 20:10 —  see also, Isaiah 14:12-17).</p>
<p>But Satan doesn&#8217;t want to go to Hell alone. He&#8217;s working overtime to  take as many people with him as he can. And I want that work stopped! I  want Satan to get what he deserves.</p>

<p>3) The Creation — When Jesus returns, the creation will receive what it has been promised — restoration.</p>
<p>The material universe was originally created in beauty and perfection.  There were no poisonous plants or animals, nor were there any meat  eating animals. There were no natural cataclysms like earthquakes and  tornados. Mankind lived in perfect harmony with nature.</p>
<p>But when Man rebelled against God, one of the consequences of his sin  was that God placed a curse on the creation. Poisonous plants and  animals suddenly appeared. The animal kingdom turned against itself and  Man as some of the animals became meat eaters. And the natural  cataclysms began to take their toll. Man now had to strive against  nature to survive.</p>
<p>But the moment God placed the curse on the creation, He promised that  one day it would be lifted through &#8220;the seed of woman&#8221; (Genesis 3:15).  That promise is repeated throughout the Scriptures. For example, in  Isaiah 11, the prophet says that when the Messiah comes to reign, &#8220;the  wolf will dwell with the lamb&#8221; and &#8220;the lion will eat straw like the  ox.&#8221; He further states that &#8220;the nursing child will play by the hole of  the cobra&#8221; because the snake will no longer be poisonous.</p>
<p>Paul reaffirms this promise in the New Testament in the eighth chapter  of Romans. He pictures the whole creation as being like a pregnant woman  gripped by birth pains, crying out for the moment of delivery. He says  that moment will come when &#8220;the sons of God are revealed.&#8221; In other  words, it will occur at the resurrection when the Lord returns (Romans  8:18-23).</p>
<p>On the day the Lord returns, the earth will be renovated by earthquakes  and supernatural phenomena in the heavens (Revelation 6:12-17). The  result will be a refreshed and beautified earth. The destructive forces  of nature will be curtailed. Deserts will bloom. The plant and animal  kingdoms will be redeemed. Poisonous plants and animals will cease to be  poisonous. The carnivorous animals will become herbivorous. All of  nature will cease to strive against itself. Instead, it will work  together harmoniously to the benefit of Man. (Isaiah 11:6-9; Isaiah  35:1-10; Isaiah 65:17-25; Acts 3:19-21; and Romans 8:18-23)</p>

<p>4) The Nations — When Jesus returns, the nations will receive what they have been promised — peace, righteousness and justice.</p>
<p>Mankind has dreamed of world peace throughout history. Disarmament  treaties have been negotiated, peace treaties have been signed,  international organizations have been created, but true peace has  remained elusive.</p>
<p>The Bible says that permanent world peace will never be achieved until  the Prince of Peace, the Messiah, returns. Both Isaiah and Micah  prophesied that when the Lord returns, the nations &#8220;will hammer their  swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks&#8221; and that  &#8220;nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they  train for war&#8221; (Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3).</p>
<p>The hope of the world for peace will never be realized in summit  conferences between heads of state. The only hope is the return of Jesus  who will rule the world with &#8220;a rod of iron&#8221; (Psalm 2:9 and Revelation  2:26-27).</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2277" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 161px"><strong> </strong><strong><a href="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Israeli_flag.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2277" title="Israeli_flag" src="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Israeli_flag.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="201" /></a></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Israel Will Be Restored</p></div>
<p>5) The Jews — When Jesus returns, the Jews will receive what they have been promised — salvation and primacy.</p>
<p>God has made many wonderful promises to His chosen people, the nation of  Israel. Most of these are unfulfilled and will not be fulfilled until a  remnant of the Jews turn to Jesus and accept Him as their Messiah.</p>
<p>The  prophetic scriptures tell us this will happen at the end of the  Tribulation when the Jews who are left alive have come to the end of  themselves and decide to turn to God.</p>
<p>Zechariah says this remnant will &#8220;look upon Him whom they have pierced  and will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son&#8221; (Zechariah 12:10).</p>
<p>The prophet also says that on that day of repentance, &#8220;a fountain of  salvation will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants  of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity&#8221; (Zechariah 13:1).</p>
<p>This believing remnant will then be regathered to the land of Israel to  receive the blessings that God has promised the nation. Those incredible  blessings are described in great detail in chapters 60 through 62 of  Isaiah. God&#8217;s Shekinah glory will return (60:2) to a rebuilt Temple  (60:7).</p>
<p>The nations will send all kinds of assistance (60:10), including  their wealth (60:5). The land of Israel will be reclaimed (60:13), the  nation will receive respect (60:15), the people will enjoy peace (60:  18), and the Messiah will live in their presence (60:13,19).</p>
<p>All the  ruins will be rebuilt (61:4) and the land will be filled with joy  (61:7-8) and praise (61:10-11). The nation will be a beacon of  righteousness, and its glory will be witnessed all over the world  (62:1-3). To sum it up, Isaiah says the nation of Israel will be &#8220;a  crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand  of God&#8221; (62:3).</p>
<p>In effect, the world will be turned upside down regarding its  relationship to the Jews. Today the Jewish people are despised and  persecuted. They are the butt of jokes and ridicule. But a day is coming  when all that will cease.</p>
<p>Zechariah says that during the Lord&#8217;s  millennial reign the Jewish people will be so honored that when a Jew  walks by, ten Gentiles will grab his clothing and say, &#8220;Let us go with  you, for we have heard that God is with you&#8221; (Zechariah 8:23).</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2278" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 264px"><strong> </strong><strong><a href="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/JesusLove082witharmsoutstretched1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2278 " title="JesusLove082witharmsoutstretched" src="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/JesusLove082witharmsoutstretched1-300x211.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="178" /></a></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Believers Will Behold Christ</p></div>
<p>6) The Saints — Some of the promises to the Saints — to those who are  member&#8217;s of the Lord&#8217;s Church — will be fulfilled at the time of the  Rapture. The Rapture is an event that could occur any moment. It will  precede the Second Coming.</p>
<p>At the Rapture, the dead in Christ will be resurrected and the living  will be translated to meet Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). It  is at this time that both the living and dead in Christ will receive  their glorified bodies. These will be immortal, perfected bodies — like  the body that Jesus had after His resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:42-53  and Philippians 3:21).</p>
<p>When Jesus returns to this earth, the Saints will come with Him and will  witness His glorious victory over the Antichrist and his forces  (Revelation 19:11-21). The Saints will then receive what they have been  promised — a redeemed earth and ruling power over the nations (Matthew  5:5 and Revelation 2:26-27).</p>
<p>Jesus will reign from Mount Zion in Jerusalem as King of kings and Lord  of lords (Isaiah 24:21-23). David in his glorified body will reign as  king of Israel (Jeremiah 30:9 and Ezekiel 34:23-24). The Saints in their  glorified bodies will be scattered all over the world to assist with  the Lord&#8217;s reign (2 Timothy 2:12 and Revelation 2:26-27).</p>
<p>Some will  serve as administrators (mayors, governors, presidents, and kings),  others will serve as judges, but most will serve as teachers, for the  entire educational system of the world will be in the hands of glorified  Saints. It will be their responsibility to teach those who are in the  flesh about the Lord. There will be no legislators (thank God!), for  Jesus Himself will give the law. (See Isaiah 2:1-4; Isaiah 66:19-21;  Jeremiah 3:12-18; and Luke 19:11-27.)</p>
<p>These six reasons make it clear that every Christian should be earnestly  desiring the return of the Lord. Yet apathy prevails. Why?</p>
<p><strong>Yawning about Jesus </strong></p>
<p>I have found four reasons for the apathy and indifference that  characterize the Christian community concerning the return of Jesus:  unbelief, ignorance, fear, and carnality.</p>
<p><em>Unbelief </em>— Regarding unbelief, many professing Christians simply do not  believe that Jesus will ever return. Most of these are people with a  liberal view of Scripture. They have spiritualized away the meaning of  the Second Coming, just as they have spiritualized the virgin birth and  the miracles. To them, the Second Coming is nothing more than a fairy  tale. In 2 Peter 3:3-4 we are told that the end times will be  characterized by scoffers who will mock the Lord&#8217;s promise to return.  The tragedy is that many of these are people who profess to be  Christians.</p>
<p><em>Ignorance</em> — I think most of the Christians who are apathetic about the  Lord&#8217;s return are just ignorant about what will happen when He comes  back. As a result, they cannot get excited about an event they know  nothing about. I was in this category for thirty years. Although I  attended church faithfully, my church ignored the teaching and preaching  of God&#8217;s Prophetic Word. I didn&#8217;t have the foggiest idea about what  would happen when the Lord came back, and the result was apathy about  His return. But when I began studying Bible prophecy and learned what is  in store for believers when the Lord returns, I started jumping pews  and shouting &#8220;Maranatha!&#8221; I have never been apathetic since that time.</p>
<p><em>Fear</em> — The apathy of some Christians is due to the fact that they fear  the Lord&#8217;s return. Because of that fear, they try to repress the thought  that He might break from the Heavens at any moment. They fear He might  return on one of their &#8220;bad&#8221; days or when they have an &#8220;unconfessed sin&#8221;  on their conscience. These people are caught up in works salvation.  They do not understand that they are saved by grace and that &#8220;there is  no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus&#8221; (Romans 8:1).</p>
<p><em>Carnality </em>— Finally, there are many carnal Christians who cannot get  excited about the coming of the Lord because they are in love with the  world. They are walking with one foot in the church and one foot in the  country club. They want the Lord to come, but they want Him to come when  they are 80 years old and have experienced all that this world has to  offer. In other words, they want Him to come, but they don&#8217;t want Him to  mess up their lives.</p>
<p><strong>A Seventh Reason </strong></p>
<p>Let me conclude with a personal note. There is another reason I want  Jesus to return. It has to do with the fact that when you love someone,  you want to be with them. I love to fellowship with Jesus in worship, in  prayer, and in His Word. But these forms of fellowship are no  substitute for being with Him. I love Him, and therefore . . .</p>
<p>I want to be with Him.<br />
I want to bask in the presence of His love and<br />
holiness.<br />
I want to see the glory of God in His face.<br />
I want to kiss His nail-scarred hands and say,<br />
&#8220;Thank you!&#8221;<br />
Thank you for . . .<br />
dying for me,<br />
forgiving me,<br />
changing me,<br />
guiding me,<br />
comforting me,<br />
and for giving my life meaning and purpose.<br />
And I want to join the Saints and the Heavenly<br />
Host in singing, &#8220;Worthy is the Lamb!&#8221;<br />
Maranatha!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By <a href="http://2010rapture.org" target="_blank">Daniel Matson</a></p>
<p>The Christchurch Earthquake</p>
<p><a href="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/quake.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2239" title="quake" src="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/quake.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="96" /></a>On September 4, 2010, 4:35 am local time, there was a 7.0 earthquake at  Christchurch, New Zealand.</p>
<p>With its proximity to the Feast of Trumpets  and the coincidental name of Christchurch, many saw this as a warning of  the few short days that remain until the possible Rapture of the  Church.</p>
<p>Those who favor a September 11th time (first naked eye viewing  of the crescent moon) point out that this quake occurred at seven days  before September 11th–a possible seven day warning like Noah. However,  there may be more to what has been proposed so far&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-2238"></span><br />
Yesterday morning while reading a post found at the RITA website, a  gamma-ray burst (GRB 990123) was mentioned that occurred in the  constellation of Bootes on January 23, 1999.</p>
<p>Bootes means “He comes”  referring to the coming of Christ. The poster, Calvin, did a day count  and found that from this GRB in 1999 until the day of the Christchurch  quake was 4,242 days.</p>
<p>The number 42 is said to correspond to the Second  coming of Jesus. This was fascinating and prompted another thought on a  similar line.</p>
<p>On March 19, 2008 there was another gamma-ray burst in Bootes. Here is a description from Wikipedia:</p>
<p>GRB 080319B was a remarkable gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by the Swift  satellite at 06:12 UTC on March 19, 2008. The burst set a new record  for the farthest object that could be seen with the naked eye, it had a  peak apparent magnitude of 5.8 and remained visible to human eyes for  approximately 30 seconds. The magnitude was brighter than 9.0 for some  60 seconds.</p>
<p>Initially this was noted in the book to have occurred 430 days after  Comet McNaught had crossed the Earth’s orbital plane on January 14,  2007. It was also noted that the Feast of Trumpets 2007 occurred 430  days after the start of the 2006 Hezbollah-Israeli War on July 12, 2006.</p>
<p>But it was also 430 days from the Feast of Trumpets 2006 to the  Annapolis Conference on November 27, 2007&#8211;the 60th anniversary and the  same Hebrew day as in 1947 when the Israeli Partition Plan was passed by  the UN.</p>
<p>And yet there was even another set of 430 days from the Comet  Holmes explosion until the start of Operation Cast Lead on December 27,  2008. So that is a lot of 430 day periods. But there was more&#8230;</p>
<p>As had been noted previously, Operation Cast Lead started exactly 900  days from the start of the Hezbollah-Israeli War.</p>
<p>This is interesting  since from the gamma-ray burst of March 19, 2008 it is also 900 days  until the Christchurch Earthquake. Therefore, it would seem apparent  that this earthquake in such an aptly named place at such a time as this  is a major indicator.</p>
<p>Comet McNaught 2007 &lt;– 430 days –&gt; Bootes GRB 2008 &lt;– 900 days –&gt; Christchurch Quake</p>
<p>But while writing Signs of the End another peculiarity was noted in that  from Comet McNaught’s crossing until the Feast of Trumpets 2010 it was  1,335 days (similar to the number in Daniel and also the time frame of  the First Advent of Christ).</p>
<p>The above calculation of 430 and 900 days  equals 1,330 days with five more until the Feast of Trumpets. Therefore,  there is the following day count:</p>
<p>Comet McNaught 2007 &lt;– 430 days –&gt; Bootes GRB 2008 &lt;– 900 days –&gt; Christchurch Quake &lt;– 5 days –&gt; Trumpets<br />
1335 days</p>
<p>For those who need refreshing, Comet McNaught crossed the orbital plane  120 lunar months after Comet Hale-Bopp did the same.</p>
<p>JPL calculations  also calculated the orbital period of Hale-Bopp at 4,465 years, which if  subtracted from AD 1997, yields 2469 BC and 120 years before the Flood  when Hale-Bopp was last seen! So Comet McNaught was an important  indicator and bridge.</p>
<p><a href="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/JesusLove082witharmsoutstretched.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2240" title="JesusLove082witharmsoutstretched" src="http://savvyinternetladies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/JesusLove082witharmsoutstretched-300x211.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="135" /></a>But is the warning of the quake at five or seven days until the possible  Rapture of the Church?</p>
<p>According to the custom of the Jews, the  anniversary of Creation is placed on Elul 25 (day one) with the sixth  day corresponding to Tishri 1 and the Creation of Mankind–the Feast of  Trumpets.</p>
<p>The Christchurch earthquake occurred on Elul 25 and Day One  corresponding to the Creation Week. That would yield 5 more days until a  September 9th Trumpets and Day Six and it would also allow for the  previous count of 1,335 days. A September 11th Rapture would lose those  figures.</p>
<p>The 7.0 earthquake then in Christchurch would then in itself seem to  represent the Seven Churches and the beginning of the Creative Week with  respect to the position of the moon on Elul 25. Then accordingly it is  on schedule with the observed calendar placing Trumpets on Thursday on  the sixth respective day.</p>
<p>Elul 25 &#8211; Saturday &#8211; September 4 &#8211; Day 1<br />
Elul 26 &#8211; Sunday &#8211; September 5 &#8211; Day 2<br />
Elul 27 &#8211; Monday &#8211; September 6 &#8211; Day 3<br />
Elul 28 &#8211; Tuesday &#8211; September 7 &#8211; Day 4<br />
Elul 29 &#8211; Wednesday &#8211; September 8 &#8211; Day 5<br />
Tishri 1 &#8211; Thursday &#8211; September 9 &#8211; Day 6</p>
<p>The Rapture of the Church on Tishri 1, the Feast of Trumpets, and the  New Man Creation/Bride is the appropriate day. It is the Day of the  Awakening Blast of the Last Trump.</p>
<p>It is the Day of Resurrection. It is  the Day of Coronation. It is the Day of Shouting. It is the Day of the  Open Door. It is the day to be ready and make sure that one’s name is  written in the Book of Life by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ as the  only Savior of the World.</p>
<p>In an aside note, Thursday is also interesting since it has been long  known as Thor’s or Jupiter’s Day. Jupiter represents the planet of the  Messiah.</p>
<p>This is fitting since Christ was crucified, ascended, and looks  to now receive His Bride on Thursday. And incidentally the Feast of  Trumpets 2017 is also on a Thursday making the Day of Atonement fall on  the Sabbath.</p>
<p>In any regard, now is the time to watch and remain faithful until that Day.</p>
<p>It was also brought to my attention that New York City is 9,110 miles  from Christchurch and that was verified.  But then again, if the Rapture  does occur on 9/9, 9/11 could be another very disastrous day indeed  that eclipses the first.</p>
