To a certain extent, perhaps. ... birth pangs ... We are to faithfully live in expectation, longing for that day, even not knowing when it might be.
I can appreciate this. The general times and season. That's the overall general sense that I get.
I made a bit of a 'call' on the now defunct Rapture Ready forum a little over a year ago. I was working on a theory and the night of the Las Vegas shooting, I felt compelled to post it unfinished. Going with the often quoted "birth pang" thing every time almost any thing of any significance happened, I extrapolated that out a little bit.
Being a man and not even a father, I do not swear by this, but are not birth pangs a single significant event than then dissipate and then return in greater magnitude and then abate... lather, rinse, repeat. And do they not start to occur with less and less time in between?
Now on that website was a gentleman who lives in California and was threatened by those fires in early 2017. Record fires. Then came other records. A big quake in Mexico City. Then I was affected by hurricane Harvey, another record. I began to see this as a 'season of records' and possible the first actually discernable true birth pang? Then the record shooting occurred and I posted this developing theory later that evening. The Texas church shooting follow this declaration by about a month. 2017 was a record breaking year for the most $Billion dollar disasters.
But in that post I also suggested that if my theory was correct then what we would see would be an eventual settling down of these records at some future (at that time ) point. And that if that happened, then when would an experience a lull only to be greeted by yet a worse second distinguishable birth pang at some point later!
And that if birth pangs do come closer to one another then once the second one started and finished then we would know that a third one will be coming even sooner and will be even worse. This until Ezekiel 38/39, Isaiah 17, Proverbs 83, the Rapture, you name it.
So that period of records did quiet down. Sometime early in 2018.
Not that this year hasn't had it tragedies. But nothing like that period that lasted most of last year. So my question would be to mothers is if the period in between birth pangs goes back to normal or is it just better than being in a birth pang? You know what I mean? It is back to level ground or just a valley that is better than the previous or next birth pang?
I just read a news headline that said Trump said to Erdogan in a phone call that "You know what? Its yours!" in reference to Syria. This stock market is looking really bad right now. Could we be on the verge of another distinguishable birth pang? Again, mothers, birth pangs
are distinguishable, right!?
If so, it could mean a period even worse that the fat part of 2017! Which was just downright awful. Another question for the mothers, do the subsequent birth pang also last longer or are they the same or are they perhaps shorter but more intense? I know that they are more intense.
I could be all wrong about this and hope that I am. But this random pattern of Old Lady McDonald's
'birth pang here and a birth pang there' doesn't seem to fit the pattern of actual birth pangs. So if this correct, we should fasten our seats. Do what we have to do and do it quickly. Gather in some supplies of whatever works for you.
Me... I am literally heading for the hills. But this was already a consideration for me personally and only one of the two forks that I might have taken. Was indecisive until this week. I am serious though about making amends with people or whatever sort of 'business' that anyone needs to do in the present life. That, though, is always a good idea.
Seriously? Putin said that?
That man thinks he walks as tall as Goliath, doesn't he? Wonder if he remembers how hard that guy fell?
Yeah. But it gets even worse!
I just read some headline blurb today that the most popular 2019 calendar in Japan is one with a bunch of pictures of a shirtless Putin. More popular than their own celeb's calendars.
Well, like I said to CoreIssue about his list...those signs aren't really new, are they? Honestly...well...apart from the bizare vegetarianism one (where did that come from?)
Not sure? I always heard it was for the Catholic meatless Fridays, but that was about temporarily abstaining from meats. Not actual vegetarianism. Personally I ceased my 4 months or so of veganism less than 24 hours before this thread started. Did so for health reasons just like I started it for health reasons. But it sure has become a pseudo-religion hasn't it!?
I never sweated it as Daniel and company show that abstaining for a time is not all bad.
things could all happen within minutes of the great event itself.
They certainly could.
And that as each contraction becomes stronger, I may know his return is ever closer. That gives me hope and excitment.
That's just it. Only recently did we have a period where the contractions are becoming distinct and not just scattered and random. I think up until now (well, last year) that they have only been little kicks. So contractions do mean the baby is due soon? On what time scale is certainly debatable. But if we are entering into the next significant, distinguishable contraction, then we can start to get an idea of the time scale. And have some idea of what may just be around the corner for us!
Blessings.
