I have not posted for some time because I have been a house husband while my wife worked full-time for awhile. She has now decided to retire (to at least part-time work) and I have more time to post.
Is the Lord about to return? Only He knows! Yes, He does say "no one knows the day or hour" but as some point out and I think is a possibility (not adamant about however) He is hinting that His return may be on a future Rosh Hashanah? This expression was used because originally, before the Jews fully understood the movement of the cosmos, two priests watched for a possible two-day occurrence of the start of the new moon to then establish all subsequent feast and festival days.
So, to reiterate, I am not saying the Lord's return is soon but as I have observed for almost 40 years, it sure seems so but I am not going to be adamant! I think we should be watching and there is a reward for that, although Jesus can have all of my rewards if He just lets me spend eternity with Him!
So, it seems that earthquakes are increasing in frequency and intensity, as predicted in Matthew 24, but this is debatable and I elaborate on this on my site at earthquakes
Also, there seems to be an increase in "signs in the heavens" as predicted in Luke 21? Notice the extremes in heat and cold, which some would say is because of climate change, but also the volcanic eruption in Iceland and the closing of airports in Europe? Of course, this could be just the Lord shaking things up and I might argue that this is part of the end-time scenario to convince us to except Him or know why we are condemned to eternal separation from Him on judgment day because we wanted to call our own shots!
Note this article showing we are approaching the intelligence of God (or so we think as we build the tower of Babel), "UK scientists have created "designer embryos" containing DNA from a man and TWO women". Go here for the entire article.
Just some rambling thoughts and if you are not right with God, pray for discernment, or things might drive you crazy and keep looking up!
