His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. God is so much smarter than any other being and He knows ALL things. He has reason and purpose in everything that He does. His heart is toward His people. He loves those who belong to HIM and He is working all things together for our good. He is not willing that anyone should perish. He is giving EVERYONE every opportunity to choose HIM and be saved.
If you look at all that is happening in the world today it is a very fearful time. Chaos, hardship, trials and tribulations are everywhere and affecting everyone. But, you know, that is when people turn to GOD. As long as things are going well and people are healthy, happy and prosperous, historically, people forget God, forget the source of all their blessings. It is in the times of tribulations that people seek answers and find GOD. “There are no atheists in the foxholes.” That is an old wartime quote.
Though like many of you, I am disappointed each time a Rapture Watch date passes and nothing happens… HOWEVER, I am ecstatic to see so many people digging into the Word of God. Revelation was at one time a book that people avoided because it could not be understood. BUT GOD, is revealing so much today. People are studying the prophetic scriptures and putting the puzzle together. There are revivals breaking out EVERYWHERE, just when it looked like the whole world had turned their back on GOD.
God will send His son at the perfect time. We have to trust Him and know that as long as we are watching for His coming, God is watching over us. If GOD be for us, who can be against us? God will see us through to the end. HE who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it to the DAY OF CHRIST JESUS.
Philippians 1:6-7
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
The videos below are full of fresh revelation and new perspectives on the rapture and several of them reference verses from the book of Mark Chapter 13. Here is one section of that book. The part that surrounds the specific quote you will be hearing. I wanted you to see the reference in context to help you to draw your best conclusions.
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
