So many are interested in the timing of the rapture and simply put there seems no real way of definitely telling. Or is there?
By going over today's news (newnews) and then going over Scripture, we see more is being revealed.
The closer we get to end time prophecies unfolding, can we relate it to the timing of the rapture?
I think this is very possible.
Just read the next three verses in,1Thessalonians 5.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3
5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
KJV
Here Paul speaks of the time when we have no need that he writes un-to us. Paraphrasing of course. So what season is Paul talking about? Let's read on. Verse 2, for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh is a thief in the night. We know from other scriptures this is the timing of the rapture, just by the wording. Next, when they say peace and safety then sudden destruction, upon them.
I have said before the sudden destruction is the Psalms 83 war. So now we only have to figure when they, the enemy of Israel will be saying peace and safety.
I have been saying all along if the Vienna talks should ever draw to a conclusion Israel's enemies and others would be saying peace and safety.
Now I want to go over some relevant recent news.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met with the visiting head of the UN’s atomic watch dog International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi for talks focused on Iran’s nuclear program.
Bennett has made it very clear Israel reserves the right to act against Iran's nuclear program. Bennett stressed the urgent need to confront Iran using all means to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear arms. Bennett asking to send to Iran a clear message at an upcoming board of governors meeting dealing with Iran's nuclear sites. Bennett went on saying that, Israel prefers diplomacy, it also reserves the right to self-defense and to take action against Iran in order to block its nuclear program. Bennett is mentioning the importance of the safeguards of the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons treaty for a global peace and security. Yes, this is the words coming from Bennett talking about a future agreement that could bring about peace and safety within the region.
Biden administration is making attempts to renew the original JCPOA talks and as I spoke of earlier Biden will be making a personal appearance in Israel to push this treaty.
My point? As we see the pressure building in Israel to agree to some sort of a treaty as opposed go to war this in turn will bring about an atmosphere of relief to those surround Israel. If this does happen it brings us back to first Thessalonians 5, when they are saying peace and safety and sudden destruction come upon them. We may be closer to the rapture than you think.
1) 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 is a description of the first resurrection. All sleeping believers rise and those believers alive at that time rise with them.
2) There are only 2 "general" resurrections.
3)Rev. 20: 4-6 tells us that the first resurrection includes those who refused the mark of the beast and would not worship him.
4)The first resurrection is at the end of the tribulation since it must include tribulation saints that refused the anti-Christ.
