i gotta ask here which one is it, is life cruel and you are in want, or not? Or could you rephrase this, bc maybe i am misunderstanding

I doubt any one is content in this life which is why we are to exhort one another to lean on Him to be content as He will strengthen us to be content.

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

So we will find ourselves suffering from time to time, but He is able to strengthen us to let go and be content.

guess maybe that's why we are described as two; two men in a field, one is taken, the other left

The bed is too short to stretch out on, the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.

my cup runneth over
pressed down, shaken together, running over

So we will find ourselves suffering from time to time
you reap what you sow i guess

ah, Ezekiel 13, imo read several translations for the best grasp

You application of Ezekiel 13th chapter because you do not believe in the pre great trib rapture event does not show how Ezekiel really believe about that pre great trib rapture event.

When it happens, then you will know that you had misapplied Ezekiel 13th chapter.

maybe not, but personally i found "pillows" and "soft landings" to be all the hint that was necessary. Not sure how you interpret Ezekiel 13, but fwiw i would start at v1, where imo your "great pre-trib rapture expectations" are addressed

fair enough i guess, as long as when it doesn't happen you accept the same conditions, right
