Recently I purchased and watched with my son a streaming version of the video Before the Wrath. Let me start by saying I didn't really know anything about the video other than it was recommended by several of the sites I follow. I honestly thought it was a movie from a Christian studio. There are scenes that are acted out, but they are only there to help the viewer visualize the topic of the video. In reality, Before the Wrath is a video Bible Study. It's not a documentary, although it references many ancient resources. Instead, it is a fascinating, forward-looking comparison of the traditional Galilean wedding ceremony with the wedding of the Bride of Christ and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Have you ever been reading and come across Bible passages such as 2 Corinthians 5:10 which clearly state believers will be judged for their actions and felt confused? I know I have. I mean surely we are saved by grace, but there are all these passages referencing works, even in the New Testament. What are we to think or believe about this?

Whenever we lose a loved we talk about them going to Heaven. Sometimes we may paraphrase by saying they've gone to a "better place" or to their "next life", but what does that really mean? Is it possible to know anything about Heaven now or will everything be new and completely different than Earth when we get there? Read on to find out!

Thanks to Brad from Revelation 12 Daily, several hundred people recently read my post The Story of the Tree Man on my website here under the Why HeavenlyPerspetives.org menu at the top of this page. I'm grateful to everyone who read it and especially to those who left inspiring comments under Brad's post. I originally documented the story back in 2000 shortly after it happened and I relayed the story in person to multiple Adult Sunday School classes at my church. However, it's been a rare occasion that I have spoken or written about the event after about 2001. It's nice to have another chance to share it with a new set of brothers and sisters in Christ!
I pray that none of you reading this post ever have the opportunity to know what it is like to lose a child. The phrase "gut-wrenching" sort of explains it, but in a massively understated way. It's way worse than simply gut-wrenching and infinitely worse than anything else I have ever experienced. There's no way to avoid the after-effects of the event. It is life-changing. The important question is, how does a traumatic event like this change your life?

Now that we have celebrated the Resurrection at Easter (also the Feast of First Fruits on the Jewish calendar) let's get back to the topic at hand. That would be the Rapture. Whether it is on Ascension Day or sometime later considering everything going on in the world these days, together with the Revelation 12 warning sign last September, it surely looks like that the Rapture will occur sometime between the date of this post and Pentecost on May 20, 2018. Other blogs go into the details of why any particular date is a better candidate an another, so I won't repeat that here.
Let's do something different.
