Can't you just feel it?!

[Brinkley]

I wonder what will happen to my best friend....my doggie. But God is in control and I know He will take care of her. Maybe I will look around in heaven and there she is.

[Brinkley]

A few months back I posted a thread pouring my heart out because I had this feeling that I was going to die before being Raptured, but you all said that was probably Satan attacking me since it was a foreboding feeling.

If it was satan and it happens again, remind that devil that if you do die before the rapture you will still be in the presence of Jesus immediately and when the rapture occurs you will rise first ahead of everyone else.

Hubby asked this again last night - about our beloved cat!! But I told him the same thing basically that you said. God is in control and God knows how much we love our beloved pets. I believe in my heart that God will take care of our animals when we are Raptured out. Not sure what He will do - but I just know in my heart that He will take care of them!

I am thinking along the same lines Brinkley - that we will get to heaven and there they will be, safe and sound!!

My petition to God is that He will Rapture our pets along with us. Our dogs, our cats, our parrots, parakeets, etc.

I sometimes wonder what will happen if I'm raptured while driving, running a bath, or with some kind of appliance running like the stove or oven. I'm sure it won't matter to me, but it does give one pause to wonder. A while back, there was a thread where someone posted wondering where they would be raptured from. I just hope it's not when I'm in an "indelicate" condition (ie - in the bathroom). It would be just my luck, though!!

I pray and ask that my cat Chloe will be raptured at the same time I am. I can't bear the thought that she would be left alone. I agree with the posters above that God knows how much we love our pets!

That probably would be just my luck, too!!

What an inspirational thread! Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and feelings on this. I wonder about my animals, too, and I pray they'll be taken with us. God knows my heart and knows how much joy I get out of these little dogs.

Ironically, there will be available plots after the rapture.

[flyonthewall]

But wouldn't it be wonderful if just before the Rapture, God spoke to each and everyone of us and somehow we would all truly know. Not just a feeling or a sense, or even a few people posting on this thread. But wouldn't that be something if one day RR went off the charts from all of us trying to post what the Holy Spirit has conveyed, and then...........[/QUOTE]


Then we could stop what we are doing.......look at the other believer across the hall and give a winking glance as we are removed. Perhaps the trumpet blast will be enough.

[lovinghisgrace]

I agree that the time is very near. I watch the news and wonder how could it not be? How could things go on much longer? Everything seems to be falling right into place as it was written - and faster with every day IMO. I often wonder where I will be too when raptured and if my dogs that I love so dearly (as if they are my kids) will be safe and taken with us. I'm sure they will be taken care of. Come Lord Jesus, we are so ready to be in the Kingdom! God Bless

When I got saved in 1973 I went to a lot of prophecy meetings listening to Jack van Impe and really thot the rapture was near then,A lot of it was emotions,but now w/what,s going on in the world,IT IS FACT!!!!

For the old timers... Has there ever been this much anticipation or has this been the only time where people basically know its imminent?

I agree k! I truly believe that whether our dear pets are raptured or not, they WILL be with us in Paradise. I don't want to start crying now, but our pets have ALWAYS been here for us. My daughter was just saying last night that our weird little Kodiak (black cat) has brought her through her trials--he is always there to comfort her. I can say that all of our pets ( except, perhaps, our fish ) have given us unconditional love. Look at the enjoyment they bring to the folks in nursing homes!

Sorry to get off topic, but, I, too, sense something very big is imminent. Come, Lord Jesus!

The Rapture has been imminent for two thousand years. No person knows when the Rapture will happen. Having said that I will admit I am excited but if the Rapture does not happen this year I will still look forward to the Rapture next year.
A few years back during the war in Lebanon I would go to work and ten hours later when I got home there would be forty or fifty new pages in the thread. Yes people get excited and unfortunately people fall away when we are still here.
When I turned everything over to GOD I was no longer concerned with when the Rapture happens but with who I can bring with us.

[Brinkley]

I saw a while back where the "Millerites", as they called them, the followers of Joseph Miller, were looking for the rapture back in the 1800s and they climbed to the top of the trees on the day it was supposed to happen to get a head start.

But with Israel not yet being a nation, they should have known better.

Its all the signs of the loomimg tribulation now being present that has us all excited!!

Ya'll are giving me goosebumps!! Hurry Lord Jesus!!!!!!!!!!

I sincerely appreciate each person who is posting here. As we’ve posted to another thread (“how long have you been waiting …”) some of us have been eagerly watching for decades ! I grow weary (well, I do – sometimes …just bein’ honest ) and homesick, but it’s deeply encouraging to see that I’m not alone in my feelings. We’re all eager for the LORD’s call .
Please Keep Posting; share your thoughts and hopes; the Word of God instructs us to do this, and I find myself unwilling to leave the fellowship of this forum. I keep returning to drink from this sweet well of spiritual water as we encourage one another, so much the more as that day draws near.

Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Heb 10:24-25

Keep Watching and Praying

[ThankfulHeart]

You know, I went outside today and gazed at the clouds...there was a big storm coming...the clouds were threatening, yet beautiful...and I found myself really reaching and praying from my heart that He comes to get us soon...

I so want to be with Him and my 'forever family'.

[Dantheman688]

ugh I feel like its so close, and its going to happen so fast. Anyone think we'll be here by the end of the year?
