Was up earlyish. Had breakfast with Dad. We dropped Mom off at the hospital and later took her to the bank. I got my disability (mental / amnesia) aid: 450RM. So I now have 800RM savings and 500RM in my wallet. We have 200RM in my debit account. All covered for the rest of the year.
My Shopee buy got cancelled as the seller didn't ship. I am in 2 minds what to do about getting my pastoral Bible. Ordering it from abroad isn't ideal. Will have to think carefully.
Think I may not head out today, just stay home as my butt is being poked. We settled lots of things for the guailo. They were in some kind of bind that ate up our Asian society. Now they have to find their own way out of it. And we will be waiting to receive them and support them afterwards.
I ordered the Bible from the Philippines for less than it costs locally -there was only 1 seller. May have made a mistake as it is 5.5cm thick. Not sure if it will fit my zip up case. Anyhow it will be exciting to receive it middle of next week.
Scheduling a run for late this evening. Just once round the block. There seems to be people watching out for prophetic signs, over my shoulder. These people are either suffering or making others suffer. There is no telling what the 'big small' Bible is for or will lead to. So I might as well answer thru the Spirit,
When I was very young, Jesus showed me the Bible I would have. He said it would contain teaching notes and thumb indices. He said it may be rather thick thus complete, and I would read it during the times of trouble and I would be safe. As for when the trouble peaks, the Lord didn't say. My best guess is from the news: faith is on the rise among youth. Yesterday, my evangelism blog, DogBlots, got well over 500 visitors.
This revival seems to be at odds with the 'apostasy'. Perhaps some, grizzled, will leave the faith, disenchanted, and others join it who are more intelligent and seeking truth honestly. I really don't know but I think this CCB I just ordered will be the start of a spiritual fork in the road.
As for pre-Trib rapture, most American pastors believe Christians will not go thru the 7 trumpets and vials of wrath. But will stand as saints before the Father, just as our persecution ends. My best guess is that there are indeed a couple of resurrections. Such that the swinging of the sharp sickle, the harvest of the wheat and grapes, is not the same as the resurrection of the dead in Christ (told by Paul). So if the dead are resurrected separately, then so are the saints separate from the wheat and grapes, and the after thousand years resurrection obviously.
Yet many see 'saints' fighting the beast and one wonders if there were some made so after the sixth seal calling of the elect. The elect being God's favorites -those who support(ed) Him thru thick and thin.
