For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .
I'm watching much more closer come Pentecost this year as well, as I have in past years gone by. June 3/4 2017, perhaps this is the date the good Lord has chosen.
We are commanded to watch, the reason being, we who watch, would not be caught unaware of the Lord's coming at the Rapture. Since Pentecost is a Feast Day which is celebrated both by Christians and Jews alike, and the Rapture is "Imminent", there is probable cause to believe it may be the day we've been waiting for after all. For when we think "not", or "least" expect it on a certain day, that's the day it will most likely to take place.
Will the Rapture happen on Pentecost of this year? I don't really know, I sure hope so, after waiting and longing for the Lord's Coming for decades; I don't think anyone would object to it happening right now? I know I wouldn't object being Raptured sooner with the Lord, than having to wait any longer. After all is said and done, it really doesn't matter who is right when the Rapture will occur, we'll be too overjoyed that it finally happened, with excitement to see the Lord face to face, and looking with great anticipation to experience, all those wonderful things the Lord has prepared for us in Heaven.
If the Rapture happens on Pentecost - then Whoohoo - there's nothing more to add, except, Praise God, thank you Jesus.
If the Rapture doesn't happen on Pentecost - keep watching, Jesus promised to come back for us and take us to where He has prepared a place for us. Keep watching with great anticipation and excitement daily, don't be dishearten, for when we least expect it the Lord will come. Jesus is Coming, I can assure you, the Lord keeps His promises to all who love the Lord Jesus and longing for His coming.
We don't know the "exact day or hour" of the Lord's coming, but we sure know it is
extremely near now, and the Lord's Coming is at hand.
Rejoice Oh Bride of Christ, the Bridegroom is Coming!!!
Maranatha!

For this reason, we have been commanded to "not sleep, as do others; but let us WATCH and be sober".
1 Thessalonians 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.
4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us WATCH and be sober.
Luke 21:36 WATCH you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
We are actually warned in Revelation 3:3 that if we do not watch, He WILL come upon us a thief and we WILL NOT know the time/nearness of Jesus coming.
To the converse, if we ARE watching, He WILL NOT come upon us a thief and we WILL know the time/nearness of His coming:
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not WATCH, I will come upon you as a thief. and you will not what hour I will come upon you.

Valerie, Kathy & All--
I twice (when I was shopping in two different stores) felt that way when Jesus reached down from heaven to pick me up to hug me. The second time He picked me up to hug me, He spoke to me saying, "This (referring to items on the store shelves) are useless things. I have treasures stored up for you in heaven."
Although I was in those two stores, I felt as if I wasn't IN those stores but yet I was. That's precisely just how powerful Jesus' embrace is!
Also, when I had my first Rapture dream, I saw a whirlwind boaring into my bedroom wall, as I was being lifted (in spirit form) up 'n' out of my bed. Then I saw our marbley earth below me, as well as the black space beyond sparkling with the stars. Then someone, possibly an angel, lift me up the rest of the way to our cloud, that served as some sort of a waiting station.
I just knew that I was experiencing a premiere of what it was like to be raptured. Then my dream/or vision ended until my next such series of Rapture dreams.
Maranatha!
Tammy
Tammy, Thanks for sharing your Rapture dream. Let's pray it's another sign of the soon Rapture, which of course is imminent.
If you watch the thread with videos on Pentecost Prophecy Rapture, one of them stated there are different calendars for the date of Pentecost....therefore, I would keep watching until June 7, 2017, for a possibly Pentecost Rapture.
Maranatha!
Valerie
P.S. Here's the video below:
WOW!!! Valerie & Kathy, I got goosebumps watching the above video!!! I really did!!!
June 3rd/4th, 2017, would be a perfecto-mundo time to be raptured. Infact, anytime would be thus, wouldn't it!?
PLEASE COME QUICKLY, LORD JESUS!!!
Maranatha!

TAKEN INTO HEAVEN BY A WHIRLWIND! DAY 49 - JUNE 3, 2017
Published on Jun 2, 2017
Pentecost begins at sundown in Israel, June 3 at 7:40pm Israel time. This corresponds to June 3, 11:40 AM central standard time in the USA. This to me is the opening of the rapture window. This is the beginning of day 50, and would correspond to THE DAY OF PENTECOST FULLY COME!
COMPLETE RAPTURE WINDOW IN ISRAEL
JUNE 3 7:40PM - JUNE 4 7:40PM
CST JUNE 3 11:40AM - JUNE 4 11:40AM
Adjust the calculation to your own time zone.
I WILL ESPECIALLY BE LOOKING AT MIDNIGHT JERUSALEM TIME, 4PM CENTRAL TIME, JUNE 3
This is based on 4 things, Israel was reborn at Midnight Pentecost 1948, Ruth went to lie down with Boaz at midnight Pentecost, My Sign in 2012 came at Midnight, and the 10 virgins shows Midnight the Bridegroom coming.
See you all soon! Love you guys! Those who don´t make the rapture can hope to survive until Sept 23, 2017 for the second coming and our final redemption, and if you must give your life for Christ, do so with great faith and trust in God´s eternal promises...
John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years

A Mix Of Rapture Songs & Encouraging, & Uplifting Videos Re; Imminent Rapture
http://pub37.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=3138553015&frmid=389&msgid=1383321&cmd=show
Kathy & Everyone,
We're doing what Jesus commanded us to do, and that is to watch for His coming, and to occupy with God's work here on earth, until then.
We should continue to watch each and ever day, closer on feast days because of their relationship to our Christians faith as well. No man knows the day or hour, but Jesus did say we would know when it is near even at the doors, if we obeyed His command to watch.
Although the Rapture didn't take place on either Ascension Day or Pentecost 2017, this is no time for the faithful, to abandon the watch.
Yes, like many here I was disappointed and expecting the imminent Rapture to take place, during Ascension or Pentecost, however, I am not discouraged, and will continue to watch.
I have faith in God, that Jesus will come at the appointed time the Father has in mind. I have faith that Jesus will not disappoint us when the Lord finally comes at the Rapture, but will instantly rejuvenate our joy overwhelming, at His Imminent presence. The thought of watching, waiting, longing, for the Lord's coming will disappear in a twinkling of an eye; replaced by peace and joy that surpasses all understanding, that our Lord and Savior has come to take us to the place He has prepared for all those who love him.
Be of good cheer and encourage one another, God is in control and what is written in God's Holy Word, will come to pass.
I'm going on to finish this race, and at the end of the race, Jesus will be standing, ready, to receive me, and all those, who continue to listen and obey his word, to continue and watch for His coming.
Come Lord Jesus Come!
Maranatha!
Valerie
Valerie,
To answer the presented question of your thread title, I AM indeed Watching Much Closer, for a Pentecostal Rapture, "this" year of 2017.
Infact, like Kathy, my fingers are crossed.
Maranatha!
