Rapture 66

The life we could have had

Genesis 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Suppose God were to return based on Sarah? We would say that doesn’t make any sense. But God is God and so God gives the story to those who were. For if there was a day of Thanksgiving which I predicted as being the possible date then that is the day when God would return with life.

Now of course the turkey wouldn’t survive the encounter but is it possible no one saw the above scripture as being a sign to those of our age?

Now I listen to a man like Perry Stone and he sees concepts from one age to the next. So lets say Sarah resembles the age of the church. Sarah is wanting to have the Lord return but it has been a long time. There has not been a deep sign. There has not been a day since the beginning. And so Sarah is finding it difficult to wait. So difficult she makes an agreement with Hagar and says ‘Go ahead and give him a son.” After all if Hagar were those of our path who were of the Muslim people isn’t it possible in time we also would make an agreement with them? Isn’t it possible that what Israel did by giving Gaza and other parts to the people a sign that they were impatient with the return of their Lord God?

So Sarah gives permission but she realizes after awhile it isn’t what God intended. In fact it could lead to nothing but trouble. For if she were to wait she might end up giving all the inheritance to the one who is Hagar and her son. And that isn’t what she wants. She wants to have a son to giver Abraham. And if there were someone to stop her she might have listened. The fact is she didn’t. We of this age didn’t see the correlation and we didn’t say anything to Israel.

But the fact is that I know God is coming. I know he is returning with the promise of the Son. And I know the Son is Jesus. I also know the possible problem people will have is that he doesn’t want the people of Israel to be of mixed blood. He wants them to be Jewish and so he has to find a way to make the people of Israel all Jews.

Now if this is going to offend you then turn away. For God doesn’t excuse us who as Gentile. We are Gentile because we don’t have the pure blood of Israel. I am a Gentile and even if I have a Jewish name from the beginning names are not enough. As it turns out Akin is Jewish in the sense I am Adam and Adama is part of history. For all of our Akin or those sounding like it were Jewish from the beginning. We were the inheritance of those who were from the people of Turkey. And our line came out of there and moved into the hinterland of the world. And that means into the place we call Europe. Europe became a mixed pool and it was there were our family lost its inheritance of Jewish blood. Otherwise going back a few hundred years I might have had Jewish blood. But as my father calls us we are the Heinz 57 of flavors. And so that is why I have everything in me.

The fact is the promise of the Son is the promise of a new line. We were the inheritance of Christ and so in a way we Gentiles became the unwanted line. We were grafted in because of those who were within a call of God. They were people who prayed and sought for guidance and put God first. And God was pleased and put them first as well. So those who took on the line of Christ became the place of the heart. And so we all became a sort to men and a sort of things to come.

Now the promise of his coming and a promise of the Lord God and his return but also a promise of the newborn son. Yet the newborn son came and that was Christ. Yet if God had a way of making news it would be to make me a child of His. As in His son. Yet if I wrote it out that would be blasphemy but in a way that is the purpose of man. For us to become the true sons of God. We were called to be that but we could never see ourselves as being son and daughter. So God has to bring us in to his home and tell us “Listen, you are son. And you are daughter.” And then give us a place at his table. And at that table we will give thanks and give hope to the oppressed. Yet if we are blessed and we don’t wish others to be blessed then we need to find a way of preparing our heart for those who will be blessed. And that isn’t always easy as son and daughter are often so fed up with life they just fight like cat and dog.

So we on earth sought out God and put him first and said “Let me write something honoring you.” And so this is the day God put me into a story that was written back in time. That means it is now August 4 but as I had written all the raptures up to about 100 without checking I realized that number 66 wasn’t filled. So I took on the measure of man and gave it this shot. That is I wrote this with the desire for us to find an answer that would make sense to put it here of all places. After all I am growing and maturing and willing to learn something I might have left out.

So I put here the rapture of the church was destined to be November 22, 2007. But since I couldn’t find time to write it publicly I thought what should I do? SO I’ve prayed until I have a solution. I’ll write it day by day until the end of the year. And it will be my rapture diary. And if one day it does become like Sarah who expected the Lord Gods return at any moment then I can say I understand. And if it becomes Gods desire to return with the help of a man then it would be me. Not because I’m better but because I pray for it.

And so I pray for this to end. I’ll see you in the next rapture diary.
