1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
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 .
We use day, month, year where I live. Today is 22.9.11 instead of a mirror chiasmus, it could be read 922 911
Last day of summer. Please Lord come quickly. I was thinking this morning it just must bother God so much to know what is ahead and people refuse to listen. He has talked in person- Adam, Enoch, Noah, Moses; talked through prophets; sent someone to rise from the dead who wasn't just anybody, but actually God's Son; and now the signs in the heavens and earth that Jesus predicted are taking place. What more can God do? The heavens and earth are about to find out.
for God's people to not lose faith while we wait; for the unsaved to have their hearts softened to receive Christ; for God's kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven;and Father we pray also for our brothers and sisters in Christ that are suffering now for Your name's sake. We pray for comfort and blessing on them by Your Spirit; we pray for relief for them and that their needs would be met; we pray for their tormentors to turn away from evil and accept Christ. We come to You Father asking in the name of Your Son, Jesus, Amen

Interesting about the meaning of 922: when Christ removes His people who are alive at His coming, then there will be greater darkness and void on the earth. I'm not sure what happens with the Holy Spirit's interaction with new believers at that time. If they become indwelt or have a different relationship. I've read different views and am not sure what to think. If a believer in Christ asked for God's Holy Spirit to fill them as it filled believers at Pentacost, wouldn't God answer that with a yes
