The Year of the Lord's Favor
Could it be time?

Time for truth to ring out.
Time for all of the brothers in Christ to walk arm and arm.
Time for freedom to ring.
Time for the saints to go marching in.
Time for peace, love and joy to rule.
Time for every mountain to be brought low and every valley lifted up.
Time for there to be no more sea.
Time to take a bite of the twelve fruits from the tree of life.
Time to drink deeply from the river of life.
Time to enter your rest until the indignation is past.
Time for Yeshua HaMashiach to rule with a rod of iron.
Time for those who are living in heaven on this earth to meet their hell.
So lift up your heads and rejoice for your redemption draweth nigh.
Time to hear:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.”
“Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”
“Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
“You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.”
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”
“To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”
“Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”
Time to hear well done good and faithful servant.
What do you think the odds are that the last 7 days will be a reverse of the first 7 days? Just something that occurred to me as I read this...
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in what you mean by this. Would you have time to expand your thoughts here? Thanks so much!
DeleteAs in starting on a day of rest with each day corresponding to something that happened in the first 7 days in reverse order. The final thing being the passing away of this heaven and earth and a new creation beginning. Kind of like bookends. I don't know exactly what these events would be though... just a thought experiment really.
DeleteZephaniah 1:2-3 comes to mind as a great reversal of Genesis 1, even mentioning the destruction of "man and beast," and "birds of the air" + "fish of the sea." This is in context of "the Day of the LORD" (1:7, 14-18).
DeleteNice catch, Kris!
Could it be time? Indeed! Loved this...thank you! Has there ever been such a time as this? God's mysteries are unfolding, being revealed to those who have eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to receive. Maranatha!!!
ReplyDeleteMy brother Dave. No there has not. How blessed are we that God has chosen the likes of us to reveal His plan.
DeleteTime for faith to become sight
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! Thank you! I say, "Time to go Home!"
ReplyDeleteIn the words of those 4 great theologians, the Beatles...."Let it be"!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, thrilling, sobering thing. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is so "timely" Greg that I can hardly contain myself as I read it with tears of unspeakable joy. Thank you for your "timely" article.
ReplyDeleteThat which I received in passed on.
DeleteIt boggles the mind. I grew up thinking these things would surely happen long after I was dead and gone....but they are here! They're really happening now! Praise God!
ReplyDeleteAmen! Yes, and about time, too! :) :)
ReplyDeleteSmiling from ear to ear, with joy bubbling up in my spirit, knowing soon, so very soon, we'll be seeing our sons and grandson in heaven. It's so close, we can almost reach out and touch it! Thank you for these words of comfort. It is well with my soul!
ReplyDeleteYes you will Cindy B. Yes you will.
DeleteActually, and surprisingly , both my wife and I have had a knowing, from a very young age, that we would be a part of the Rapture in the End Times. Ours is a 10 year marriage, both prior spouses are deceased. We always felt we were placed in each other's path for a reason, now we believe we understand more clearly. Anyone else hold this feeling/knowing that they would go through the Rapture? Just wondering...
ReplyDeleteDear brother Don, me and my husband somehow never had the idea of possibly dying not even in childhood. As "last-hour-called" into the vineyard only some decade ago we understood that we could have intuitively felt the same thing about not dying before the LORD Jesus returns. Awesome. MARANATHA! (this exclamation is painted above our front door since we're saved) :)
DeleteBrother Don, God has given and still gives my husband and I spiritual dreams. The one dream that showed me was it was night and there was a white stairway leading up to heaven. When I looked forward the night time sky full of stars was rolling towards us like big, huge scrolls and there were thousands of people climbing up the stairs and my husband and I were hurrying the people to climb quickly before the rolling star scrolls were upon us. My dad was in my dream helping us too, that gave me a knowledge that my dad was going to heaven many years later. My dad didn't know Jesus, but we prayed for him on his deathbed and remembering that dream soothed me. Because of my dream and many other dreams my husband and I share, I believe we will be here for the rapture. We can hardly wait! God is so good!
DeleteWell over 20+ years ago I had a vision or the judgment seat. It broke my heart for those who don't know Him or who blatantly don't want to know Him. Since that day I have always felt that I would not die, I would see the rapture. I have leaned into the Lord and realize that no matter when it is, I will run into His arms and praise HIM for eternity!!!
DeleteFor those of us that don't know the full meaning of the beautiful word "MARANATHA"
Delete(1 Corinthians 16:22) NIV Consists of two Aramean words Marn'athah, meaning, "our Lord comes," or is "coming." If the latter interpretation is adopted, the meaning of the phrase is, "Our Lord is coming, and he will judge those who have set him nough." Phil 4:5 ; James 5:8 ; James 5:9 NIV.
I am ready to come home. Nothing on this earth feels familiar anymore. This is a beautiful article, thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo many things that I used to have so much interest in just seem mundane. I spend all the time I can reading the Bible and keeping up to date on this and other sites with the same information coming out in droves of the Lords coming. I am longing for His return. I am longing to see my grandmother that I miss so much and let her meet her newest granddaughter that she never got to meet.
Lord I am ready to come home!
I have had the conviction that I will be raptured since I was seven. I'm in my 40s.
ReplyDeleteYES, the reverse of the curse of the fall shall be ''the 'rise'' which is the Ultimate Shalom! Glory be! RESTORATION of Innocence*....Beautiful Greg, i give Thanks! Grace n Peace be w/ you...
ReplyDeleteRevelation 12
ReplyDelete12 - The time of midnight
At midnight a cry was heard , "Behold the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him. (Matt 25:6)
Time for all oppression to cease.
ReplyDeleteTime for Israel to look upon the one they(all of us) pierced.
I want to encourage everyone on here.
ReplyDeleteIn line with the Rev12 sign and all other end-time signs that everyone is now aware of, a personal revelation I had today was we (Christians ) that are waiting on the Lord MUST live every single day until the coming of the Lord in excitement. I know this sounds like popular talk , you know yeah yeah we should always be happy anyway. No, I mean extreme celebration.
Here is why;
Since I started getting revelation about the Lord's coming it's almost been as if I have been under attack by the enemy. Suddenly with the nasty thoughts on my mind and very aware of my sin (past and present) and I just could not shake it off, no matter how much I prayed fasted or read the Bible. Then suddenly it occurred to me! Praise!!!!
What do people do when a child is about to be born? Praise! They wait in extreme practical evident excitement.
What would the angels in heaven be doing? Singing!!! Now is a good time to sing the revelation songs: "Worthy is the Lamb" "Even so come, Lord Jesus come." For the first time in weeks I feel great!
According to Rev12 there is a dragon waiting to snatch the baby , based on what I have read this baby could be the church, the devil is already accusing us in our minds making us feel unworthy of our salvation and destiny but we must stand and the best way that I have found is to sing!!!! Praise the Lord and continue to wait EXPECTANTLY for the day of the coming of our Lord whenever it will be that he returns he must find a happy bride! can you imagine a gloomy bride on the day of her wedding, Nah! let us rejoice! The King is nigh!
AMEN!!!AMEN!!!AMEN!!!
DeleteVery encouraging words! Thank you.
DeleteTwo other passages came to mind as I read this:
Matt. 11:25, "At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants" (NASB).
and Psalm 8:2, "From the mouths of children and nursing babies you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries, so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy" (NET).
C'mon, brothers and sisters. It's a time for praise and rejoicing!
Its time for praise and rejoice indeed!!
ReplyDeleteAnother verse has come to mind;
Psalm 100:4 "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise, give thanks to Him and praise His name!" - LITERALLY!!!!!!
ISAIAH 25:9. "IT SHALL BE SAID INN THAT DAY, LO THIS IS OUR GOD, WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM AND HE WILL SAVE US, THIS IS THE LORD, WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM, WE WILL BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN HIS SALVATION." also, Paul wrote: "HENCEFORTH THERE IS LAID UP FOR ME A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH THE LORD, THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, SHALL GIVE ME AT THAT DAY, AND NOT TO ME ONLY BUT TO ALL OF THEM THAT LOVE HIS APPEARING." We wait and long for Him and we love his appearing so that means us! YES! Hooray and Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks different...is it just me? Unlike in the past where misguided individuals have tried to actually nail down specific days for HIS return, this feels different. I haven't come across anyone trying to set an actual date only observations of how everything seems to be coming together. It just looks like SOMETHING is about to occur. Whatever that may be....My Lord Jesus I love You and so long to embrace you my KING.
ReplyDeleteReply to Unknown (but known to God), and to all my sisters and brothers in Christ - yes, everything is different - hard to put into words, a kind of silence everywhere. Want to encourage all of you to go to heavenlysign.com and listen to COUNT IT ALL JOY. Love to all of you as we finish the race, your sister Anna. See you soon.
DeleteOne thing i realy hope is, That we misunderstude the part in Scripture about "no more sea" because i love the sea, the amazing view walking along à beach, sailing or surfing the ocean...
ReplyDeleteThe "sea",in the bible,seems to refer to the Mediterranean Sea;so,if the Sea You enjoy is any other,perhaps It will remain.
DeleteIf anyone can relate, I'd like some encouragement. It seems like the closer it gets to the Rev12 sign the more I begin to feel doubt regarding the rapture. My faith in Christ is strong, maybe the thought of what life will be like later if nothing happens is a little depressing.
ReplyDeleteThe sea was thought of as the abyss, the place of the demons, a place of danger and separation. I think this is the point of the verse. Fear, danger, separa tion and demons will be removed
ReplyDeleteAnonymous- I would like to reach out and encourage you if we still find ourselves here in October...and 2018, which I am whole heartedly expecting as a Christian. My faith in my personal Bible studies will be increased. The only reason I lightly state my strong prewrath belief here on this mostly pretrib site is not to stir feathers, but because several have shown they are expecting to be raptured out of here by October. To those I am trying to voice my concern not to lose faith "if" they see October, or even 2018. Once again, as a Christian I would be delighted to be raptured out ahead of the tribulation, instead of going through it up to being raptured just prior to Gods wrath.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous, please be encouraged by reading my testimony 3 threads up about singing. I specifically recommend the song "Even so come" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ5MBN79MU0
ReplyDeleteListen to it over and over and feel all fear wash away.
I know how you feel , the feeling of "I am I worthy" starts to set in. Read Romans 1-5 (listen to it via an Audio Bible if you can) It will remind you that there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ. You will be reminded that we are imperfect but have been saved by the grace of a loving saviour - Jesus Christ.
Please post back if this helped. Thanks. Be blessed.
Unknown and Anna, I agree with you. Everything feels different. There's a feeling of quietness like the calm before the storm , maybe that's just me and where I am.
ReplyDeleteIt almost feels like we should all be in one room waiting together, reading the word and rejoicing. Perhaps this website is one of those rooms. I hope someone can relate.
I dont know what is coming but I believe something is about to happen for the church.... you can just feel it.
The Lord's blessing to all.
I was in depression.. and then one day I heard (thanks to this site) that my King is coming for me! And this good news changes everything. I used to look at my past mistake and regret.. and now I only look forward for my blessed hope. Bible teach that Grace himself will teach people to look for their blessed hope, and I believed the authors of this site has found the blessed hope and season of the King's return this year.
