The only people who cannot comprehend the difference are either mentally deficient or are deluded.
I am watching for Messiah Yeshua to return each and every day. Just because I do not set a date to watch does not mean I'm not watching.
I don't know, maybe I am out in left field with this idea as I know that is not the accepted traditional understanding. It just made sense to me because why would Jesus say no one can know the day or hour of his return and then immediately give us clues to watch for?
Messiah Yeshua said we would know the season - the general time frame (not the season of the year as the false prophets misinterpret) but not the day or the hour. Is this that difficult for them to understand??? I am watching today, then tomorrow, then the next day (if still here) - I'm not watching november 15th, june 22, july 4, etc. until we get to those days - if we do. The false prophets set those dates (using numerology or some other unbiblical garbage) then they watch and wait for those dates - they are not watching for Messiah Yeshua but they are watching DATES.
Those mocking Messiah Yeshua's return are the unbelievers because of the fruitcake false prophets repeated failed rapture dates. It is not those who are are continually watching for Messiah Yeshua's return as He commanded as the false prophets would like their followers to believe.

"Re: J. Grenough--Cheshvan 17 & 2 Peter 3: 3-10, Connection"
Hi Doves, I stumbled upon 2 Peter 3: 3-10 yesterday while I was reading another article totally unrelated to the possible Rapture idea happening on Nov. 15th. I couldn't help but see the connection between Jesus warning from Matthew 24: 32-41. Peter gives the warning about scoffers who say, ' where is this promised of his coming '. The rest of Peter's letter sounds exactly like Jesus warning to watch for His return. Peter warns about the flood, Heaven & earth passing away, the 1000 years, the thief in the night. It seemed to me that this may be a confirmation of the Rapture will be on the date that Noah entered the Ark! We will see, we don't have long to wait!
Another thought I had while I was meditating on Matt. 24: 32-41. What if verse 36, ' No one knows that Day or Hour ' was referring back to verse 35 and not the Rapture. What if it was referring to ' The Heavens and Earth passing away ' ? Because verse 37 starts out with ' But ', as it was in the Days of Noah. The sentence structure sounds like the subject is changing. Also, doesn't it make sense in context that verse 36 should be refer immediately back to the verse before it, verse 35? I don't know, maybe I am out in left field with this idea as I know that is not the accepted traditional understanding. It just made sense to me because why would Jesus say no one can know the day or hour of his return and then immediately give us clues to watch for? Is this idea from the Lord or just an over imagination longing for the Jesus to take us home?
Let me know what your thoughts are.
MARANATHA!!!!!
