The shadow
The shadow knows!
Already addressed in this thread:
But about that day or hour no one knows:
Christ wouldn't have needed to speak about THAT HOUR if he wanted to speak about the Day of the Lord, those of the rapture, in case this Day would be one of our days. On the contrary, all the context he spoke about until now was the rapture of many people, necessarily taking time, not only one day, especially if the 'clouds' come when you sleep to rest yourself like in the days of Noah (doing mundane things). Does Christ ask not to sleep?
IT MUST TAKE DAYS, WEEKS or EVEN MONTHS before everyone is aware of all these things!
The proof is here: when you see all these things, you know that it is near.
So, when you see the SIGN of the Son of Man IN HEAVEN + the Son of Man coming on the CLOUDS OF HEAVEN + ALL THE PEOPLES of the earth MOURNING + a loud TRUMPET CALL, THEN you will know that IT IS NEAR.
Yes, you just read it. The Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven is but a step BEFORE the reader could be taken, soon or not (just near). At least, the latter knows that IT IS NEAR. But how near? What is near is precisely ONE'S OWN RAPTURE.
On one hand we have 'IT is near' (something, an event, not somebody), on the other, we have 'as it was in the DAYS of Noah', clearly saying that the Day of the Lord lasts several of our days!
So, if it takes more than one day to witness all these things to happen, it means that the Day of the Lord is far longer than our day. As I stated, the Day of the Lord is 7 years long.
The day or the hour, that can't be known, are for each one of us, if selected, for it would be impossible to anyone, except God, to remember the list of the people (several millions), their locations and their rapture date.
In addition, there is a very good reason not to know the day and the hour of one's own rapture: everyone must first prove through one's own choices and behaviors to deserve the rapture!
I ask again are you the father in heaven?????
