Considering 2024 - Is The World Ripe For Rapture?

Let me just go on record and say I do believe that the Rapture will happen this year.

Not because of what anyone else says, but between the signs which we are told to look for which are all around us and just a feeling that I have. Now of course what I believe could be wrong, so I am not trying to convince anyone else to believe it. However if someone does already believe it like some other Christians I know, I just want them to know I believe it also.

I don't believe it as a fact though. So everyone please take what I have said with a grain of salt. Case in point, I just renewed my car registration yesterday for two years. Why not just one? Because as I have stated while I believe the Rapture will happen this year, I am not positive that it will.

Come Lord Jesus come!!! 🙏
So I posted the above in July stating that I believed that the Rapture would happen in 2024. I did not state a specific date, but a season I thought we were in. I also did not say I was a prophet or anything, just stated what as a Christian I believed. Obviously what I believed was incorrect. While I am sad as with all my trails I am anxious to go home, I am not depressed or swayed from the fact that the Rapture is close at hand.

Why did God allow me to believe the Rapture would happen in 2024? I don't claim to know but I will say that it helped me get through 2024 and it brought a friend of mind who was in a deep depression where they could not function recover to where they began sharing the Gospel. So while my incorrect belief might seem like a bad thing, God used it for good.

For anyone who would like to bash me for my incorrect belief, let me just say something similar to what Jesus said below.

John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

I will make the same point in a different way.
He who has not made a mistake feel free to make fun of me. LOL! 😂

What now? For me it is just to hope that the Rapture will happen in 2025. 👍

God Bless! 🙏

I did think of you when I woke up this morning and chuckled a little. But only because I know that feeling. I am hoping on the rapture happening by 2026 because of everything I’ve been reading regarding the signs and because of the 7,000 year theory of history.

I may be wrong too and am just trusting that God will know the best time. I am planning to be wrong and preparing my life as if I will live past that time. Of course, God can take me home earlier.

Now we have more time to share the Gospel with those around us. May many more people be saved this year!!

This brings up a question I have. Did God allow you to believe the rapture would happen in 2024, or was it something you by yourself believed?

I have been there before when back in 2010, I was convinced the rapture would happen.

I stated this before, none of us when dealing with future prophecy are as smart as we often times think we are, especially me.

Let’s hope and pray this is the year we will finally be called home.
 
Regardless, it is very refreshing to know that God's promises are in full effect, giving grace and hope to the believer and mercy and compassion daily. The promise of His return is sure! Just remember "A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth," Isa 42:3.
In the meantime, we enjoy Him here with us and in us. 🙂

so good to see you post again.
 
LOL. It seems I only post when I get time. I am way to busy. But whenever I get an urge to post, I will. I love all my brothers and sisters on this forum. I pray for blessings to all in the coming year as God's will provides, and maybe the greatest blessing will be Jesus coming withe the clouds in glory. God's will be done!
 
DeVory Darkins is a YouTube channel I find myself visiting often. His take are often beyond alt right news takes. He has a massive following to his no non-sense straight shooting wit and sobermindedness. If CCF became president of the United States, we should have DeVory in our cabinet. Great to see his context posted. Amen. Blessings.

I would agree with your question and I don’t think God puts false beliefs in our minds. He lets us believe error as part of free will but it’s not God giving us those false thoughts.

Great question Andy. There is actually a "Yes" God might. But its marginal and not central in my view.

<Mod Edit>

In one sense this might mean "allow" any via free will. Or permit the possibility. Another way it could mean, did God cause or influence it specifically. Well you might be surprised on this answer I'd have. And to the degree it might be off, amen.

. . . . .

In 2017 I watched an entire year (night after night) of rapture dreams. As I was getting ready for bed I would play a YouTube video of another rapture dream someone had. So I heard quite a few of them for sure. By denominational upbringings, I am a cessationist. But I do believe that even though I would see the 1st century sign gifts have stopped, I do believe beyond that that God can do anything He wants. So I checked out rapture dreams for a while. After a while it began to be clear that America was not being EMPed. And many other ideas that came from dreams and seemed to have a familiar theme. Some dreamt the rapture would happen on their birthday. And then that day passed. It could always be a future birthday...but who knows. In any case, I was convinced that these hundreds of rapture dreams were not "dream dreams" biblically. Like people got supernatural revelation from God. Although there is this one I will share in the end that did stand out to me.

What seemed to be occurring though is that in some way it very much seemed that people were having very personal rapture dreams. So let's think about this. If the rapture is x number of years from then (2017). And Israel that year getting Jerusalem back (and Golan Heights also the year to follow), perhaps that year and timeframe is some form of end time marker (as it relates to Israeli activity...not as it relates to dreams). So if lets say the rapture occurs in 2026 or 2028 (years I would presume more likely), this would be within a decade of those YouTube rapture dreams. So, might there be a season where a lot of people get rapture dreams because the time is near? Possibly, yes. In that sense I would say perhaps a personal touch that God allows that is not equal to supernatural impression proper. But like a "seeing through a glass dimly" (1 Cor 13:12), for now potential event. This would also possibly mean that God might "permit" impressions (generic) upon His people that might categorically be dim glass views of some season approaching. For what purpose? Maybe for the purpose there I would not seem to be in concert with biblical supernatural revelation as much as a mere affording of God's moving in our days veiled. Now this of course can be very dangerous.

<Mod Edit>

But all in all, I do believe that even if something is not correct, God may permit us to lean in a direction as it may serve a greater purpose we have no idea of. But I also agree with you @Cheeky200386 in that God is not in the false idea planting business. We see He might with unbelievers like Gog. But it would seem to be limited to unbelief. Not an ingredient for those who do believe, I reckon. Blessings. & HAPPY NEW YEAR :) 2025 WOOOHOOO :)
