Anyone else here feel as though they'd be as pleased with an earlier than planned 'departure', rapture or not? The world's last best hope is on its way out economically, culturally, etc. Each day brings another mind-war with sin, as we pray to accomplish good thru Him. It's as though the only things left that bring ANY comfort are those good things prompted by Him, done by His power. Everything else feels empty. "Vanity" I think Proverbs calls it, in reference to the majority of our earthly works apart from the will of God. I feel like I used to enjoy it (vanity) a lot more-- a good meal, a hobby, conversations, movies, nature. Occupy, never tire of doing good, suck it up and drive on.

I know. I agree. All we can do is "Occupy till I come." Luke 19:13. Yes, the former things of enjoyment (fly-fishing along a fast moving stream, kayaking, good meals, hobbies) seem emptier in these latter days. I find it hard to enjoy the former things while in the midst of losing liberties. My state and our country are going that way, the way of control and regulation. But, Genesis 47 addressed this with the confiscation of property...and the ownership of most everything by Pharaoh. Everyone became the same (impoverished and waiting for food handouts from the government--Pharaoh and really...Joseph). In Isaiah 24:2, everyone became the same. Then again, in Revelation 6:15 everyone is going to be the same hoping for rocks to fall on them to escape the wrath of the Lamb. Equality is coming, but not the way many think. Yes, the world's last and best hope is on it's way out. But Jeff Kinley had some good words to say about this. "I am only an American citizen for a short period of time. But I will be a citizen of Heaven forever."
Amen!
