I've always wondered over the verse in the Bible that says, "Arise shine, for thy light is come! And the glory of the Lord is RISEN upon thee."
I know it speaks of the restoration of Israel, but could it have a hidden meaning for the Church, the Rapture?! His shining forth, a pre-knowledge of that split second event?
Try to talk to your family or many in the church today about the coming of the Lord and you get a blank stare! His soon coming is a fire in MY soul, but to many, I'm a nut case! I'm an alarmist!
When I came across the following article, it was an ah hah moment! God is SO good to reveal Hisself in wonderful, unexpected ways! This article just seemed to bear witness with my spirit!
God Bless you Richly! Hope we're going Home soon!

Could A “Spiritual Body Clock” Alert Us Before The Rapture Event?

By Andre J Hendricks

I sincerely believe the rapture is imminent and a true indicator to the timing of the rapture can be found in the scriptures where Jesus answered His disciples concerning this in:

Matt 24.3, and Mark 13:5 – “And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any deceive you” also in Jeremiah 29: 8 “Yes, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have.

Scripture does not contradict itself, nor is the timing of the rapture an apparent one as may seem at first glance. This topic requires serious and in-depth study, it requires an understanding of the history of God’s people, which are the real “time-clock” by which God orchestrates His divine plan and finally, it requires the Holy Spirit to reveal the mysteries of the Word.

Every word Jesus spoke had a meritorious meaning and when you look in Mark 11:13 we find Jesus speaking to a fig tree, expecting a fruit out of season, and then proceeds to severely curse the tree so that it wither the very next day!

When Jesus found no figs upon the fig tree, on that afternoon, and cursed the tree; He was displaying openly to the disciples in a figurative way, that national Israel still as yet had not bore any fruit from the branch; by the mere fact that their immediate generation still simply did not recognize the epic “time of visitation” by their Messiah.

My point is watching the situation currently in Israel, understanding how God communicated and “ tipped off” His chosen people about His first coming, and analyzing through the Spirit the words and demonstrative actions of Jesus, I believe will reveal to us not necessarily the timing of the rapture, but rather the “sign” of His coming… Note it does not say “signs” plural, but sign, singular.

What am I saying? I am saying Jesus said we would KNOW when it is near, even at the doors (Matt. 24:33) Furthermore, Luke 17:21 tells us “how” we will know it is near – “neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

If you’re still trying to make sense of what I am saying to you – We Spirit filled Christians have a SECRET trigger inside of us known as the Kingdom of God (call it a seventh sense if you will, or spiritual body clock) that will automatically synchronize with our own spirits, in order to get us ready for the rapture.
The word sign also means SYMPTOM, the word symptom also means INDICATION, the word indication also means “HINT” the word hint also means, TIP-OFF or CLUE.

As a Spirit filled child of God, you’ll supernaturally KNOW and be TIPPED OFF before this great and glorious event! All we need to do is to stay within the “Branch” which is God. To go back to the disciple’s original question in Matt 24:3 – what shall be the SIGN… He first and foremost warned them of DECEPTION that would be on an unprecedented scale.

Right now, the world is being prepared through mass media and elaborate illusions (fake alien craft sightings etc possible through “Project Blue Beam”.) that an alien invasion or “intervention” is imminent.

Satan knows the rapture is “at the doors” and so he’s busy (and has been for the last century), getting a credible explanation ready. People will primarily believe what they see, that’s why faith is so important!
Having faith takes away the weapon of “Seeing is believing” which Satan is preparing to use on the rest of the unsuspecting world. Right now we have the technology to project 3D holograms ONTO the sky (Through Chemtrails) producing (with sound) a realistic image of Christ, The Mahdi of the Muslims, Buddha etc. returning in the clouds! – Research PROJECT BLUE BEAM

No wonder Jesus warned first and foremost against deception! Remember how He also warned them in Matthew 24:23 “At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.”

Jesus knew this technology would exist back then! and He knew that unlike faith, “sight” would be the cause of great deception in the last days. Now bear in mind, this is EXACTLY what we are “seeing” today (no pun intended)

To finally bring this article in for a landing… The reason you all are so expectant of the rapture event is because God’s Kingdom, His Spirit has TRIGGERED that awareness inside of you! It will grow stronger if you have FAITH, and it will grow cold if you base your expectations on SIGHT, or possible rapture times for that matter.

We KNOW it is near, let us exercise faith, patience and all of the other good stuff because our days are literally numbered!

God bless
