Rapture 101

Living with knowledge that needs to be free

 The biggest day of the world will be the return. I haven’t had time to write here as I’m changing things around. I had this on my main site but felt God speak and tell me to put it on a sub-domain. That is to allow room for expansion. I was having problems with my main site having too many things on it. The end is that I was getting frustrated with the day of the Lord. As I I didn’t have anything new to write. And if you are really meant to write the return of Jesus to earth it doesn’t look good if you leave the picture unclear.

So here I am writing because I believe God is coming. I just don’t know when for sure. I did write down November 22, 2007 as that is Thanksgiving for the USA. It is based on Thanks to God and Giving to men. So it is a perfect day which we have year after year yet it is new in the way it will be presented.

So if I put words that offend like frustrated please forgive me. I am not mad or angry but frustrated simply is like having a burden to get out and I can’t find the time. You might say take the time but it doesn’t work for me. I have a body that is broken with ill health. I’ve spoken of it much in the past. I have limited time each day to accomplish the needed things.

Now there are some who might say I should have help. That is something we’ve asked God for but so far it hasn’t arrived. So if I am meant to continue on I felt to put it into a page dedicated to the rapture was better then leaving it as a mishmash of ideas and concepts on my main site would leave some confused.

Lets deal with thanks. Thanks sounds like a dream. Thanks is a word used to express happiness or joy. We do it by decree so that each year men can give and can be happy.

Now imagine that God wrote a will only we said “The will of God is the desire of God.” Suppose the will of God was the anticipation such as in a notarized will ready to be delivered to men on such and such a day. To go into all the will of God would be difficult but lets say that one part is “In everything give thanks for this is the will of God”

Now it is a simple idea but if the will of God is to give thanks maybe he meant it as a sign of our age. But if so which one? We hold thanksgiving each year in November and this year seems no different. Only it might be. As in God might be here to help us celebrate. And if so he would have Turkey and all the trimmings. And that would be a Thanksgiving day worth having.

Now imagine that it is the sixteen hundreds. Men have gathered from the Mayflower and they are on new land in a new continent. The problem of America is one where men and women are drawn into dispute over land with native people. Yet people of the Mayflower came and gave more then most. They gave with a decree of watch and see. And it was give which allowed them to befriend the native we call Squanto. Squanto was a gift to men and gave us a name to time. That is thanksgiving. It was the first Thanksgiving and it was not meant to be the last. Squanto was the one who called it that and it was his gift to the age. We may have other people claim it but Squanto was the one person who wanted it said. He wanted them to pray for that was the Mayflower gift. And it was gift which gave him a wise gift of planting corn with fish. Not many did that but he did. So did his people for fish were dead in the fall and they often were used to help men plant seed for the coming spring.

Now the biggest dream men had was to find a way for all things to fit. They wanted to make the world a better place. They wanted to make the dream fit and to do that took time.

So when a man fit into the box he had to find a way of boxing up the dream. And to put in fish with seed and corn meant the rotton fish would cause the corn to soften. Yet if you soften corn before it is in the ground it will rot. So to prevent this Squanto took the corn and put it into box after box with soil around and when men came and said “How do you do it” and that was the way of life, there was no one like he would lived with a set of rules called “live in a box but rule with a fish.”

So the world gave them awesome corn and other vegetables and we lived on it as part of our heritage.

Now the entire industry is based on corn today though in some ways potatoes take a close second. Corn is ethanol and so are other products like wheat. They are there to provide us with a blessing of life.

Now I close with this thought. If we are in the final day of time then what do we do with it? We give it time to grow. For if God is to come in November it would be a month unlike other months. And the land would change to prepare for the rapture. And people would change also only they would find life filled with awesome responsibility. Only we have a dream to see the story finish itself with little resistance. It doesn’t happen and like the Mayflower we have to move in
