Rapture Sooner\u2013or Later?
\nby Terry James<\/strong><\/p>\n

As anyone knows who reads these commentaries, our website is raptureready.com. The articles are, of course, generated and disseminated from this platform on a daily basis. Our Nearing Midnight section is our weekly platform from which to launch commentary on what we consider the most relevant and vital issues and events of the hour. All opinion pieces are Bible centered, and their overall tenor is to point to how near the midnight hour we are in regard to the occurrence of the Rapture\u2014that glorious moment when Jesus Christ calls all believers to Himself.<\/p>\n

The words I hear when talking to believers about the Rapture of the Church is that while they hope it will happen soon, they are afraid it\u2019s way out there in the future. This is a common thread I find in thinking of fellow Christians these days. That\u2019s not to say all are thinking in this direction. Many who come to our website look around at all that is happening and express that they don\u2019t see how the Rapture could be meant for any other generation than ours. They see all collateral cultural and societal prerequisites for that stunning event to occur.<\/p>\n

So what is the probability that the Rapture is scheduled in God\u2019s plan for humanity in either a sooner or in a later time frame? Is there any one signal on the prophetic horizon that might give a clue to answering that question? I believe one area to look at might provide illumination.<\/p>\n

Believers and nonbelievers alike are being fed a daily diet of doomsday fodder. COVID-19 more or less suctioned the attention of the world\u2019s populations into its orbit of terror. This, I sense, was done deliberately. That is, it was a deliberately created, worldwide, pathogenic assault specifically designed to bring people under the cloud of gloom and doom. As a matter of fact, documentation being unveiled is beginning to point in that direction, providing proof that it was spawned to control the minds and movements of the earth\u2019s populations.<\/p>\n

Added to the pandemic was the intent to radically change cultures and societies through the wokism we\u2019ve all been subject to over these weeks, months, and years. Overall, it\u2019s been an effort to move people\u2019s thinking away from the God of Heaven and toward anti-God thinking. That effort to totally corrupt mankind has been largely successful, and governments of the world have become, as Romans 1:28 tells us, reprobate at every level. That is, our leaders can\u2019t and\/or won\u2019t think rationally. Every thought is only on evil continually, it seems.<\/p>\n

This is exactly the mindset of the antediluvian world of Genesis 6, the one Jesus said would be prevalent at the moment of His catastrophic intervention into the affairs of mankind. He said it would be \u201cas it was in the days of Noah.\u201d<\/p>\n

We see not only the mindset that was anti-God, but violence, that fills the whole earth, exactly as described in Noah\u2019s day. Consider that with the upside-down thinking of the legislators and city councils of the so-called blue states and blue cities, murder rates are up exponentially in some areas. The catch-and-release policies of the blue cities have validated those policies\u2019 wrong-headedness, their insanity. The reprobate thinking of governors, mayors, and legislators are manifest for anyone who cares to see.<\/p>\n

America has at least half a population and half a Congress with the same deadly disease\u2014Romans 28-level reprobate thinking. The current president of the United States seems at the apex of present American leadership manifesting upside-down or reprobate thinking. This isn\u2019t just the ranting of some prophecy nut. His wrongheadedness is evident, and his handlers who surround him must closely guard his movements daily, keeping him from press conferences and having him avoid most questions of substance by White House and other reporters.<\/p>\n

While wars and rumors of wars ratchet up to the point of threatening to break into World War III, according to some, the American military, led by the present chiefs of staff who advise the president concentrate on creating a culture of woke-ism within the ranks. Some in our military even wear rainbow symbols, indicating their awareness that the transsexual movement is front and center in their midst. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff seems all in regarding his support for this LBTQ incursion into the American military. This is, to my thinking, Sodom and Gomorrah-level reprobate manifestations in these days that look forever more like those days of Noah and days of Lot of which Jesus prophesied.<\/p>\n

All of the above constitutes substantial evidence that the Rapture of the Church might be close to fulfillment. But one particular symptom of our time stands out significantly. And it is much more than just a symptom. It is a growing monster created by evil men and seducers, who deceive and are themselves deceived. Those greedy creators of the monster have reached the point they can no longer control its voraciousness.<\/p>\n

The evil men and seducers to whom I refer are the money powers that be. These are the men (and women) whose only desire, it seems, is to create larger and larger debt among those they force to do their bidding, financially speaking. These globalist, fiscal elitists\u2019 evil, economic shenanigans have brought this generation to a moment I believe Jesus, Himself, was speaking to, regarding His next intervention into this doomed, rebellious world. More about this in due course.<\/p>\n

The following excerpt defines the uncontrollable monster, I think.<\/p>\n

For years I have been clear that the world is reaching the end of an economic, financial and monetary era which will detrimentally affect the world for probably decades.<\/p>\n

It is unequivocal that all currencies will finish the 100+ year fall to ZERO in the next few years. It is also crystal clear that all the asset bubbles \u2013 stocks, bonds and property \u2013 will implode at the same time leading to a long and deep depression.<\/p>\n

We had the warning in 2006-9 but central banks ignored it and just added new worthless debt to existing worthless debt to create worthless debt squared \u2013 an obvious recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n

So as is often typical for the end of an economic era, the catalyst is totally unexpected and worse than anyone could have forecast\u2026<\/p>\n

If a miracle doesn\u2019t stop this war [Russia and Ukraine] very quickly (which is extremely unlikely), the world will soon be entering a hyperinflationary commodity explosion (think energy, metals and food) combined with a cataclysmic deflationary asset implosion (think debt, stocks and property).<\/p>\n

The world will be experiencing totally unknown consequences without the ability to solve any of them for a very long time.<\/p>\n

All the above will most likely happen even without a global war. (Buckle Up: Greyerz \u2013 The Dark Years for the World Are Now Starting in Earnest, King World News, Rapture Ready News, March 12, 2022)<\/p>\n

Prices at the gas pumps and in the grocery stores\u2014the shelves of which are growing increasingly sparse in products\u2014are rising quickly. The above expert analyst and others predict the whole world economic system is about to experience a crash of apocalyptic dimension. If this happens, the world will again have to gather up the shambles and bring things back to a relatively normal way of conducting life. This would take many decades if it could ever be reconfigured in getting things back to how they are at present.<\/p>\n

Jesus\u2019 words tell us that when He comes again, people will be in times like in Noah\u2019s day. That is, it will be a totally evil time of violence. Well, we are there at present, are we not?<\/p>\n

But the Lord foretold something other. And it is what makes me think the Rapture of believers will be sooner, not later.<\/p>\n

Jesus said the generation will be like in the days of Lot and his vexation in Sodom and Gomorrah. That means, of course, that it will be a totally debauched, sexually perverted and wicked time. Are we not there?<\/p>\n

But He said one thing more. He said people will be buying, selling, building, marrying, planting\u2014all the things of normal activity. He predicted no worldwide financial collapse. \u201cIt\u2019s the economy, stupid,\u201d we might say to those who believe we are going through the Tribulation. (Although I would never use those words issued by James Carville in managing Bill Clinton\u2019s election.)<\/p>\n

But it is, in fact, the world economic situation we should look at in wonder. It is still held up in spite of the any second collapse the experts have been predicting for some time.<\/p>\n

The collapse is being held up by God, the Restrainer, I have no doubt. It will be the Rapture that will pierce that enormous, constantly building economic bubble.<\/p>\n

That moment is indeed imminent!<\/p>\n

There is one and only one way to go to Jesus in this glorious event when He calls\u2014the one and only way of escaping the coming time of trouble such as people of the earth have never endured.<\/p>\n

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10: 9\u201310)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
