It's so hard to describe my feelings. I had to stay home today and I was going to use the time to prepare a message to family and friends. I only did parts of it and was in no mood to finish. I feel so frustrated. even if the time is really short, I've had it with people and their attitudes and don't want to bother anymore.

I am a bit restless and am doing a lot of cleaning and organizing stuff at my place.

Is anybody getting the feeling that something might happen soon or behaving in a way that is not normal for you.
I'd love to know what is happening with other watchers.

Just waiting to see if this will be the year.
I alerted the kids to be on watch and they are.

Enjoy reading everyone's post as we stay sober and wait for our Blessed Hope. Maybe it will be this year!!!

Not worried about house work,
I won't feel bad leaving everything behind untidy.
I am looking forward to angelic maid service in heaven.. Of course nothing gets dusty in heaven.

Just think.. soon we will physically see each other and most of all See our God face to face!!!!

Wish I knew for sure. I would love to be happy and dancing around my house. But the not knowing for sure has left me very depressed. I don't mind not knowing the day or the hour. Just wish I knew the year. Anybody else feel the same way?

First I want to say that I really enjoyed that movie "One Night with the King"..

On the subject, I feel kind of numb (that might be because of old age and harmones; ), just waiting and hoping this year, this month, is the time we leave.

I have talked to those that I have been praying for so I hope that they have made that discision for Jesus..

My emotions have been all over the place. It's very frustrating because I don't know how to feel. It's like a constant roller coaster of emotions. Lately I've been feeling like everything is so calm and quiet, like nothing is going to happen. There's been this huge build up for months, and now it feels like silence. I don't know how to explain it. Then there's the struggle between my spirit and my flesh, that brings doubt and fear into play. So yeah, up, down, and all over the place.

Then to top it all off, as if I haven't had enough emotion over the past week or so...I found out today that my dear 89 year old Grandma, who has been in excellent health her whole life, is probably, suddenly on her death bed. It's been my prayer for over a year now, that my two Grandmothers, 89 and 91 would make it to the rapture. What timing is this? She told my aunt that she's ready to go home. I want to say, "Grandma, I'm ready to go home too, but I wanted all of us to go together!" Please say a prayer for her if you would. She's the sweetest Grandma, and she's a great woman of God. I could use some comfort from you all too.

Phew, I feel emotionally wiped out. I'm just crying, PLEASE JESUS COME!!!

I'm sorry Shelby. Praying for you and for your grandma.

Thank you Heidi. Hugs.

somehow, september this year feels very long...

maybe because we are so "itching" to go with jesus.

for me, waiting and watching everyday has never been so high before!

Yessss. This september is a long one. Praying for your grandmother too, Shelby....

I'm a little nervous and excited as we get to these last few days of September. It seems to me that this year lines up perfectly as the year that we go home, and the 70th week of Daniel begins. I have also realized that the Feast of Trumpets has to be the feast that is fulfilled by the rapture. God has fulfilled 4 of the 7 feasts in a New Testament way so far, and the Feast of Trumpets is the next one to be fulfilled. I look forward to meeting all of you in the air soon. God bless you all here at RFTH!

Aside from being nervous....and strange enough I had a dream last night where I believe I was at a church function,IF my memory serves me correctly,as I was having my devotional time just a few moments ago and I was praying it came back to me.We were at this church function and we were talking with a couple that we knew,and in the dream,like I say if I remember correctly,the word ELENIN was mentioned.Like I say if I remember correctly.I sense that the LORD has kept Elenin smack dab in the fore front of my memory.
Even though I am nervous,I do have a deep abiding peace.

I read all your replies with great interest.

Me? I guess I'm some where in the middle. For as much as it seems to "all line up", (we always thought so in years past as well...) so I am actually forcing myself to *NOT* get too excited about it -- b/c "been there, done that". Not even MENTIONING RH to my DH, ~ frankly he's tired of hearing about possible timelines & dates...

Quite honestly, while I continue hoping & praying this is it -- that this will be the year, but even so..... here's what generally happens (year after year) ~

most all serious watchers get on board for RH watching -- then, it comes & goes.... major disappointment.... then someone figures out it was "supposed to be" Yom Kippur instead -- everyone watches.... disappointment....

then someone figures out Hannukah..... then Christmas....

back to Passover in the spring .... and finally Pentecost just has to be, has to be, HAS TO BE it, everyone summizes!!

Then we're back to summer.....

and well, you get my drift.....

I don't mean to be a cold water tosser.... it's just that I personally regret so many hours that I've sat on my fanny at the compputer - whereas I could have been (and maybe should have been) doing other things.

Maybe my friends have it right: watch for Jesus, but keep on living for Him in the meantime!! (well that's what I try to do, but I just mean .... well,, I don't know what I mean!!

I do know this though, that should the rapture not happen this year -- I will always, always, ALWAYS forever "watch" for Him, however I also know that I want to work on breaking my addiction of checking all the prophecy sites & boards. I like Doves & here the best - you guys have way of keeping me pumped ~ that it will be *soon* and when I get depressed or discouraged in any way in life (not just cuz the rapture hasn't happened yet) but things related to work, or craziness of life in general ~ so I come here to be blessed in that way. Obviously being at the computer is not a curse for everybody -- not when it is used to encourage others.

Todd over at RR though? chuckles -- he's actually kicking off a "fundraising drive" for his site! Guess that's his subtle way of saying no how, no way is he going to set dates .... or say that the rapture just HAS to be at R.H.

Like "golf guy" ~ (can't ever remember your long handle! I figure Jesus will get here when He gets here.

Meantime, we've got living to do.... and we're told to redeem the time.

Well, that's the long & short of it for me anyway.

"another" RJ

I'm not holding my breath for a Rosh Hashana Rapture. It could literally happen any day of the year--it doesn't have to happen on a Jewish feast day. Unfortunately, I'm with Our Blessed Hope on that; I fear that everyone who's pinning their hopes on the Feast of Trumpets is going to be in for a major letdown if we're still here on October 1st. Don't count on that too heavily, everyone; it may not happen that way. Jesus doesn't necessarily have to come and get us on a feast day. It could happen next month, sometime, if it doesn't happen during what's left of this month. Or even in November. My prayer to God is that it will happen before the Christmas season starts this year--preferably long before!

I have already prepared myself if it doesn't happen before October 1.......we DO KNOW THAT IT IS CLOSE!!And with EVERYTHING going on in the Heaven's & Elenin,WE ARE CLOSE and the Pally's wanting their own State,etc....we are CLOSE.

I happen to be watching CNN yesterday morning of 9/26/2011 @ around 8:30/or 9 AM (MT), for they mentioned that Mahmoud Abbas has 36 hrs. more to learn if he gets statehood.

Now he has around 12+ hours to find out if his mission @ the UN was successful.

Also yesterday, I told my nephew about the above phony Palestinian issue, and that should the UN grant them statehood...soon after that, we (the Church) may be Raptured.

I hope that I wasn't being too boastful, was I? Please let me know; yay or nay, if I was/or wasn't. OK?

It's just that I AM totally thrilled over the prospect that soon, we'll be going home to our heavenly home. And am truly looking forward to Jesus' return in the clouds to receive us unto Himself there. That's all.

Maranatha!

If the United Nations hasn't changed its mind about that. Check this out:

"Fair Use for Information & Discussion Purposes"

Palestinians, US battle for UN Council votes

That article was published online on channelasianews.com just this morning. Read this quote from that article:

The Security Council held its first meeting to discuss the application on Monday and is to meet again Wednesday to formally send the request made by Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas to a membership committee.

The Palestinian campaign faces an uphill struggle as the United States has vowed to veto any resolution backing their application. No vote at the 15-member council is expected for several weeks however and frenzied lobbying has started.

From what I'm understanding from this article, there will be no final vote tomorrow--only the action to send Abbas' request to a membership committee. What's more, it'll probably be at least several weeks before there is a vote, and that's assuming the UN doesn't decide to put the whole issue on a shelf indefinitely. So the Rapture may not occur this week after all. (Note that I'm not saying that it will not occur this week, only that it may not.) We'll just have to wait and see what develops.

But even if we're not Raptured before Saturday, that doesn't mean it's not going to happen this year. Keep that in mind, guys. As I said, it can happen literally any day of what's left of this year.

Or should the Pallys' don't get their way, the Psalm 83 & 118 war will break out in that region...especially in Israel. So we shall see prophetically, what transpires over there. Yes!?!

Basically SisterNChrist---If they get it,or don't get it.....there is going to be war and UNREST of HUGE porpotion.

Absolutely, Ruth!!! Absolutely!!!

Tammy

Yup,SisterNChrist---they WANT Israel and this is what the Prophets of OLD foretold that the Arabs-the brothers ofthe Jews would WANT that LAND and-(what they think,and it is foretold in the Bible)---the land has to be seperated....so they will get it for a SHORT and I mean SHORT space of TIME..and then be Judged for seperating the Land God gave to Abraham and his descentants.

P.S....I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE ANYTHING OF ELECTIONS NEXT YEAR...I BELIEVE THAT THIS WORLD WILL BE A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT BY NEXT NOVEMBER 2012...PLUS,there is this thing that the illumin. bad guys posted December 21,2012 to mix up the New Agers...and thereby confusing a whole lot of ppl.Something BIG is about to happen.I know that I was ALWAYS weary of the December 21,2012 thing...I know some christians think something about it,but something always stuck with me as being strange about this date being tossed around.

Plus,there is this information that actually the -(I am NOT into it,but the Mayan calendar actually ends sometime THIS October 2011,instead of December 21,2012).You may need to investiagte but I heard that somewhere.

P.S.,The Mayan calendar actually ENDS October 28,2011 that was the information that I heard.

Ruth,

I remember years ago, Leonard Nemoy was on a show, forgot the name of the show, and he was talking about the Mayan calender and the year 2011 when this was suppose to happen..

This was long before the modern day Mayan calender came up a few years ago about Dec. 2012..

Just wondering if that was what you might be trying to remember..


Joseph

Hi, yes, this was confirmed in the national news a few months ago. We can expect strange things to happen in our skies as we approach that date.

I'm feeling ready, willing, and God is able to make it happen!

COME LORD JESUS, I AWAIT YOUR COMING WITH GREAT EXCITEMENT..!

<< 2 Peter 3 >>
New American Standard Bible

----------------------------------------------------
Purpose of This Letter

1This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.

The Coming Day of the Lord

3Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 5For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

A New Heaven and Earth

10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

11Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 13But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

14Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, 15and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, 18but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.



<< 2 Peter 3 >>

Hey All, I am ecstatic!!! I truly believe that this is it. Period.

The nothingness we are feeling is the calm, the peace that the Lord has promised us. We are supposed to be resting and planning our time of rejoicing once we are at His feet. I am not worried that the Rapture won't happen on Yom Teruah/Rosh haShanah.

I have tried to think of all the reasons why it won't happen and the only thing I can come up with is because it hasn't in the past. That is no reason.

All the main events have happened on the LORD's feast days. Yom Teruah(Blowing of the Trumpets) lines up, because Rosh haShanah is literally known (in the Jewish Community) as the Lord's feast that "no one knows the day or the hour" because it happens on the "new moon". Before computers, God set aside 2 (two) days to spot that tiny sliver of the new moon, because it was so hard to spot. How much more of a sign for the Blessed Hope do you need? There are trumpets blown 100 times on this day and the "last trumpet" is literally announced?

Even the math lines up to the day!!! 2018-7=2011 and the counts given by Daniel fit perfectly with the power of the antichrist lining up exactly with the midpoint of the trib. And if that wasn't enough, the LORD put bookends (lunar eclipses)around the antichrist's coming to power in 2014, 2015.
.
The scriptures say "when we BEGIN to see these things, (the earthquakes, the wars, the nations gathering against Israel) coming to pass, then look up for your redemption draweth nigh".

Mankind has made this much more difficult than it is, because it lines up with the new moon. The only feast that does! THIS IS IT!!! You CAN know the hour and the day by "knowing not the hour or the day". Look to Rosh haShanah, it's either Wednesday, Thursday or early Friday at sunset in Jerusalem at the VERY latest.

It makes sense too, that we go by the moon's position over Jerusalem, literally counting the hours by Jerusalem's "sunset" time. Here in the U.S. that puts it just before 11a.m. on the east coast since they are behind by 7 hours. I have also thought about the bridegroom coming at the "midnight call" which would be 5:00p.m. eastern time U.S. to be midnight in Jerusalem. If you live in the other parts of the U.S. add those additional hours to the time difference.

Jerusalem Time

What it comes down to in these last few hours, is trusting and having faith in Him who will perform our Rapture. Trust.

God bless you all. Stand up and rejoice your redemption is at the door!!!!!!!

Malachi 3:17 kjv

Actually RJ I never knew that Leonard Nemoy talked about the Mayan calendar and 2011.Interesting information mind you.We are SEEING so much weirdness and Elenin just keeps popping back into my mind.Elenin is NOT normal.It is NOT a comet,not acting like a comet,has a force field around it that is tetrahedron shaped,Otto Matic is on the JPL website in regards to Elenin...that moving ""The Day the Earth Stood Still""2008 they talked about the comet that had a hyperbolic orbit JUST like Elenin to it.Plus,if you look at DEEP IMPACT we have that WHOLE movie playing out before us.Black President #1.

Ruth, I am glad you mentioned Elenin because I am wondering what has happened with that whole thing. This is the 27th of September and everything seems fine. I realize it has nothing to do with the rapture per se. Jesus will come at the appointed time no matter what else is going on in the heavens or earth. But there was so much talk about it and where is it? I am baffled and scratching my head over that one.
