[Fishermen at Kailua Beach, Oahu, Hawaii]
When I think of fishermen, I am reminded of the apostles; some of which had been fishermen. Jesus told them He would make them "Fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19).
All true born again believers should be on fire by sharing the Gospel with lost souls, especially since we are so far into the very last moments of the end times; we are soon expecting Jesus to rapture His Bride (the Church) to be with Him forever; to be caught up with Him away from this wicked and perverse world.
On a recent video I watched, a preacher said, to the effect, that he was no longer looking for "signs" of the end times...... he was instead listening for the trumpet to sound; the trump of God. He believes Jesus' return and the Rapture is that close and I agree with him.
"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:" - 1 Thessalonians 4:16
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. " - 1 Corinthians 15:52
As you know, the above verses are referring to the Rapture of the Church, true believers in Jesus Christ. I should include 1 Thessalonians 4:17 which says:
"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
What a glorious hope and promise!!
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;" - Titus 2:13
This "trump of God" is not referring to the 7 trumpets of Revelation. Both 1 Corinthians and 1 Thessalonians were written long before John wrote the book of Revelation, so the readers of Paul's Epistles would have no idea about the 7 trumpets of Revelation. Paul's writings were in reference to the Church and the end of the Church age at the Rapture of true believers. Those trumpets in the book of Revelation were angelic trumpets, while the trumpet that sounds at the Rapture is definitely called "The trump of God."
Following is a short 12 minute video by Chad, Watchman on the wall 88. He is young but very thorough in his information on the end times and I believe he is definitely led by the Holy Spirit. Please watch
In Chad's video posted May 21, 2019, he talks about Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38 and 39, just like I did in my post a few days ago. (Scroll down one post right before this one.) He also talks about a recent Yahoo news article about a possible Middle East war that could go nuclear.
Don't panic and grow anxious about all this information and the current chaos in the world. You have nothing to fear if you are a true born again believer in the Savior, Jesus Christ.
"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou wilt revive me; Thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand shall save me." - Psalm 138:7
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee." - Isaiah 26:3
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee." - Isaiah 26:3
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - Jesus at John 14:27
I am moved to share another video about the Rapture of the Church that was just posted May 22, 2019, by prophecywatchers.com
In this video host Gary Stearman discusses with Pastor Jack Langford the possibility of the Rapture occuring on Pentecost, which is June 9 of this year. They are quick to tell us that they are not saying it will happen for sure then, because the Bible tells us we do not know the day or the hour of Jesus' return for us. At any rate, there is a lot of interesting and pertinent information in this 29 minute video which follows:

Although I may not always agree with everything in some of these videos, (many of which I will never post here), many do have valuable information that deserves to be shared, for everyone's benefit. You can learn from them, like in this recent video above Pastor Langford discusses the various Jewish feasts and harvests that is quite interesting.
It is obvious that I have the Rapture on my mind a lot as of late. I feel compelled to share any and all information I can find on this subject, this blessed hope that we have (Titus 2:13). It is important that we be alert and watchful, and share the gospel with everyone, as the time is short.
"Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh." - James 5:8
Believers need to be in God's Holy Word daily, and to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). It is so true that to be able to truly know a person, you must communicate frequently with him. The same is true of Yahweh. You need to pray frequently and to pour your heart out to the good Lord. By reading the Bible daily you learn of God's attributes, the love of Him and of the Savior. And in return, by prayer and by spending much time in God's Word, you learn to love the Lord more and more, and you will draw ever closer to Him. All of which means that you have a close, intimate, personal love relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. Such a close relationship will give you peace and endurance and a great faith.
Be about the Lord's work while you wait for His soon return.
If you are not a born again believer in Jesus as the Savior, you need to turn to Him in faith NOW before it is too late. You do not want to be left behind for the horrors of the 7 year Tribulation. It will be much more difficult to be saved during that time of God's wrath.
Romans 10: 9,10,13 tells us: (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
Admit that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior.
Believe in Jesus and His redemptive power by His shed blood at Calvary..... that He can wash your sins away and that you will be white as snow.
Call on the Lord. Confess your sins. Commit your life to Him.
He will welcome you with arms wide open and full of love and forgiveness.
Jesus loves you!
Have a blessed and Christ centered weekend ..... and life !!
