Next to Heaven...
I am the Lord, and there is no other,
besides me there is no God;
I equip you, though you do not know me,
that people may know, from the rising of the sun
and from the west, that there is none besides me;
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
Isaiah 45:5-6
I still remember day 100... when we finally dropped into double digits. Adam and I were working on the "Revelation 12 Sign in 5 Minutes" video. Many people have been looking to this day for 3+ years or more... now it was less than a hundred days away. We felt such urgency. As the days ticked off the excitement continued to build. We could see the day on the horizon. Each week things seemed to ramp up. Birth pains. Confirmations. Discoveries. Each week it seemed like we had more and more evidence. Each attempt to disprove the sign only seemed to add more credibility to it. There was a bit of urgency to each post... the clock was ticking.
I form light and create darkness;
I make well-being and create calamity;
I am the Lord, who does all these things.
Isaiah 45:7
“Shower, O heavens, from above,But as you know the rapture did not take place that weekend and 3 weeks later we are still waiting and watching. Going into that weekend I had to remind myself many times that a sign (even a great sign) doesn't necessarily align with an event. The sign was surely happening... the rapture was just a possibility, just speculation. With that said, the biblical connection to the Rapture has been established for centuries, so how could you not be excited?
and let the clouds rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;
let the earth cause them both to sprout;
I the Lord have created it.
Isaiah 45:8
“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
a pot among earthen pots!
Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
or ‘Your work has no handles’?
Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
or to a woman, ‘With what are you in labor?’”
Isaiah 45:9-10
But here I sit, in the same chair I was 3 weeks ago as I put out updates on that surreal day. We are now in a post Rev 12 Sign world.... a world that is very hard to get used to. The marker in time is behind us. We are in a gray area. We are waiting for the fog to lift. We are waiting for the clouds to part. We are waiting for a message. That's what I was asking for as I walked up that trail yesterday. "Lord... give me a sign." I asked him.... "How far away are you?" I asked with words and in my spirit... "Where are we?" Praise God I found my answer in a wooden sign above the door of the cabin....
I am still not sure how far away we are...but I do believe we are closer than we have ever been. While that is obvious, it is also true. We are living in a period of time after the fulfillment of a prophecy from the Book of Revelation. That is amazing when you think about it. Do not fall back to sleep, do not think his promises are broken. We are closer than we have ever been.... We are literally "next to heaven" no matter how you look at it! Be encouraged... He has not forgotten us!
"Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near."
Matt 3:2 NLT
NOTE: I hope you guys understand, but I will need to take a slight step back from the daily updates for the time being. I may update the site 1 day a week, or 10 times a week... it just depends on what is going on. This could change at any moment if things ramp up. This site will remain active, but for a number of reasons I want you to know that to avoid total burnout I need to give myself the grace to not post anything some days (like 99% of the other blogs out there). My hope is that you will still remain active in the comments section and check back here for any major developments.
Thank you very much, Brad, this is a very important article for me. Could I ask you, Brad, please, to illuminate the context - the first four verses of this chapter Isaiah 45. Forgive me in advance. This is also reference to Daniel and the Wall Writing. (?) I feel the same as you describe. It is very important for me to build an analytical basis, this is my trend in all. God bless you. Your work is very valuable. A great reward awaits you. True. Blessingы to you, your son and the whole family.
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 45 is about Cyrus and how God had written about him in the Bible long before he was born. Like Cyrus, God has a plan for us long before we are born. So anytime God is talking, I gives us insight to His character. I thought those verses (Isaiah 45:5-10) spoke powerfully to us at this time as well. The big take away: God is in control.
DeleteThank you for your kind words, Alla. So appreciate your blessings on me and my family. : )
Brother Brad!
DeleteA promise for you. You have been a good and faithful ‘foot soldier’ and you have done your duty. Do take some time to re-energize and get our spiritual compass re-calibrated with our Great Captain to wait for our next orders. If anyone has been in the Army, one will recognize the phrase, ‘hurry up and wait’. We see what you have done and taught and the LORD has given you a ‘solitary place’ to ‘rest for a while’.
‘Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught. And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.’ –Mark 6:30-33
I could not help but think as you or many may not realize but over here in the Sonoma-Napa wine region, we are in a full-blown war-zone it seems and looks like for sure. Over 50,000 have been evacuated to regional shelters, thousands of acres have burned with several wild fires, over 6000 structures and homes lost, whole neighborhood blocks gone; over 40 people dead and rising. Many people have lost everything but their cloths in their backs. Some escaped with minutes to spare, others didn’t. The smoke in the air is very bad and hard to breath. On top of the fires, then the region had a 2.9 earthquake. If you YouTube ‘Santa Rosa Fires’, you see/read of harrowing stories of bravery and miracles.
My University is closed and most students evacuated. Despite the wall of fire around me, I have not been touched and have not been ordered to evacuate. My area is amazingly unaffected as where I am at is only 5 miles from the fire break. I could not help but be reminded of your comparison to the Sept 28 post about the Elementary School Evacuation. This is a reminder to always have an exit and escape plan to go to a safe place. I got to actually use that as prior years of ‘practice’ was for just this time. How is this related to the Rev 12 Sign and the Rapture….like Lot in Sodom and Abraham seeing the fire come up from the valley, Lot was led out by Angels, evacuated, escaped…
So, it came to me. This Rev 12 Sign episode was a 'fire drill', literally for us over here but that is perhaps what it was and is spiritually for the Church. It was a monumental ‘practice’ run. Where you prepared? I ask that to all rhetorically. I am fine but pray that I and the Christians in our community stand in the gap, as they are proudly to share the Gospel of Hope with the hurting and shell-shocked community. This area is very hard to the Gospel but perhaps this event will have many turn to Jesus. Many of the churches are refuge/shelter centers. Please pray we have opportunities to share Jesus when I get back to campus, eventually in this time of reprieve, the still before the coming storm.
If you search the term 'Firefighter perspective - Tubbs Fire Santa Rosa' will be about a short vid of the fires and devastation for a sample.

Dear Vegapost, praise Jesus you've been protected in that "fiery" area! (Psalm 91:11) If you can, watch Jerry Toneys latest video on "war and rumour of wars" it's pretty good and focuses on the CA fires. The video linked in this Zerohedge article shows some strange images that makes you think... The "Leak project" discussed this on YouTube too. Very strange indeed. Very "endtimes"! I'm so glad the LORD keeps you safe. Much love & blessings! :)
DeleteHello Annabel,
DeleteIt is me, Lu Vega from PostScripts.org! I logged in with my Google Account as the posting sign-in changed and I could not sign is as before. Yes, I think we might have been HAARP zapped. :/ The whole event is strange. Some homes are totally destroyed and across the street or next door they are still standing. Yes, cars have melted but trees next them are not burned. The neighborhood destroyed does look like it was 'nuked'/micowaved in some pats. The temperature required to burn wheel rims or cars and bend steel is much higher and not possible in an open-air fire. It also came down the mountain and jumped over a wide 6 track freeway. So while half the town was burning that night, no emergency services were mobilized. In part, it was overwhelming due to the magnitude of the size and still is. And for the first 3-4 days, the efforts were not to put out fires but to evacuate...
The decision was made NOT to warn the people because 'it would cause a panic and block roads'. The authorities only alerted the people when it was too late. The Sunday night fires came from with a frantic wind gust from around normal 5-10 miles/hour to 50-60 mph or ~96 km. This is not normal for this time of year. It will be a very slow recovery and there are just too many fires at once, 17 total about and some are isolated so some people ares stating to ask or wonder if in part it is the work of arson. So, there are a lot of questions to be asked but right now the issue is survival for some and recovery for many.
Lu Vega
We are praying for all of you in this terrible time, Lu. I hope many will decide it is better to trust in the Lord than man when (and if) the truth of the origin of these fires is revealed. Be blessed and stay safe, Brother.
DeleteLu, I had no idea it was so close to you. For some reason I thought you were in Southern California. Amazing to hear this account from you friend. So grateful that you and yours are safe. You have been a great encouragement to me, and yes, I do think that the "fire drill" analogy is fitting. Someone else commented about a play / book eluding to the same concept. If this was really it, would you have been ready to go. Is our faith genuine, or have we simply tried to buy fire insurance for the fires of hell. Our God is compassionate, and just as a natural disaster can wake up a sleeping world, he sent this Rev12 Sign to wake up a sleeping church. Many have been awoken and I thank God for that. Also, thanks for the encouragement now and always.
DeleteI will continue to pray for you brother, here is an interesting article I read this morning that made the situation in your area that much more real to me.... the couple in this article had to hide in a pool for 6 hours to escape the flames.

Brad, Wendy, Annabel, Sheila and all,
DeleteSo true that tomorrow is not promised to us all and we must make the most of each day given. Life can be taken so quickly. Seems like the world now has entered the intense stage of the ‘birth-pains’ and all the more to have that ‘extra oil’. This is true for any given day with accidents for example but it is dramatized to the x degree when disasters strikes. As the weather now seems to be affecting more and with greater frequency, more so with earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes…and the entire world, it is always good to be reminded to have a practical ‘Evacuation Plan’, a route to a safe place, and practice it.
Also have a ‘bug-out’ bag’ next to exit door. Also a network of support, like one’s church or fellowship and essentials like bottled water, extra food and meds. Over 400 people are still missing. But until the Call, we must be ‘persuaded that He, Jesus is able to guard that which we have entrusted to Him, against that day’, our faith in Christ Jesus and the Blessed Hope.
Lu Vega
Very amazing post

Thanks for everything you do and all your hard work, this was another great piece that brought tears to my eyes, thanks for sharing, God bless.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. God Bless you too!
DeleteThank you Brad. Beautiful story with a wonderful conclusion. Praying daily for you and your family.
DeleteThis is the cutest video of a little 2-yr old telling her mother to look up! It is uplifting!

Titled: Child prophesying Jesus (The King ) is coming.
Thanks for all you do (and will do). I have never been so excited about anything in my life as the September 23 Sign. I couldn’t get it off my mind night and day. My wife became the same way. Now she’s gone back to the Doctrine of Imminence. I hate the Doctrine of Imminence. I lived that way for 59 years. I’ve studied prophecy since 1986 and 2017 kept coming up over and over. I’m exhausted. Mentally and physically. I cannot be on high watch all the time. I believe in the rapture but I just don’t feel on fire anymore. Larry
DeleteTo Sheila B,
DeleteI just wanted you to know that your kind and uplifting words to me on this site yesterday brought tears to my eyes. You and Annabel too. Raised a Catholic I’m not used to a spiritual jolt in my life ( just dull dreary memorization and drudgery). Not to offend any Catholic readers but I know I never knew Jesus attending Mass. I just wonder this: to the people like my unsaved stepson and his wife how does it help the true believers if we tried to warn them and then nothing happened?
Dear Larry (September Miracle), please, be not exhausted, but on the contrary, full. With Holy Spirit. Was this not true for all these years? What ouhgt I feel then? I am 61, I am alone in Bible Study, my husband is with me, but don't study at all. I love him very much, that he is with me! Super! I was going astray, falling into traps, getting upset, and praying. And the Lord brought me here, right? I look back with thanks, even for mistakes and misses. The Lord called me 30 years ago. I prayed, and did not study, then fell into terrible misconceptions, the Lord pulled me out of all. Great blessings to you and your family! Your fire is not in yourself, but in your heart, the Lord Himself! Thank you for your very good thoughts!
DeleteHey Larry. It opened a door and at least caused them to consider. The Lord can and does work miracles with that. Like you, prophecy was my calling--- not to be a prophet-- but to try diligently to understand it. I wanted Living Water and I wanted it all the time and that was where I found it.
DeleteIn the longing and looking for Him. I truly believe we are in the culmination of things maybe/ probably beginning with the blood moon tetrads. There is a plethora of things/ preparations going on above our heads as we speak. I dreamed this morning of Rev. 7:5-8. Are the 144,000 witnesses being separated for sealing right now? I don't know for sure but I dreamed it for a reason. I also dreamed the enemy (in a black chariot) is trying to sneak into our conversations and turn the topic back on him. This I do see as one stupid distraction after another occurs. How I feel at this moment in time is as if looking through a glass darkly has flipped. I now see the things of heaven more clearly than I am seeing the things of this world. It is getting foggier to me by the moment and there are many more out there experiencing this so we must be very close to our departure. Maranatha!
We are all tired. We are all feeling weak... but thank God that HIS POWER is made PERFECT in our weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9
DeleteAmen!
DeleteGreat Word, Sheila. I too, am absolutely disgusted by this world and the things of the world. Also, Scripture is so much more clear to me than it has ever been and the motivations and events of this earth seem distant and foreign. I believe you described exactly what is happening and I was unable to put it into words. Thank you - Blessings - Sherry
DeleteAnd thank you Sherry for all of the things you have brought forth so clearly and wonderfully. Here a little...there a little. I feel like He is letting each of us feel His nearness in some way to help keep the whole Body standing strong. Maranatha Sister!
DeleteAs Messiahs birth came by notification of the heavenlies, why also wouldn't our birth/rapture/transformation also come by the same form of announcement? The sign happened. The event follows, as we know now. Something I haven't seen discussed is the fact that 50 days(Pentecost anyone) after the sign, Venus and Jupiter are in conjunction- the head and body are united, while the sun is in Libra aka the throne-room. Rev 12:5, and the child was caught up into God and to His throne! Mars is also at the edge of Virgo- and the devil persecuted the woman. Look up! Blessings.
ReplyDelete-Rob
Rob.... that was touched on in this post I believe... check it out and let me know your thoughts.
Deletehttps://rev12daily.blogspot.com/2017/10/50-days-of-grace-reader-contribution.html
Amen!
DeleteNot sure how I missed that one. Just read the article and looking forward to watching the video later. What great insight. I see this more perfectly telling the whole story of Rev 12 with scripture combined with the overlay of the drama in the cosmos, than the 12:1-2 sign did in itself. The heavenlies are preaching the scripture all so beautifully. And what a better way to show the church harvest resurrection joining the first fruits together in heaven than with the promised Spirit at Pentecost circumsizing hearts, mirroring the promised circumcision of the flesh as the church is glorified with Christ 50 days after the "promise by way of the sign".
DeleteTo me this makes more sense as I believe there should be a logical, direct, and easily explainable connection to the Rev12 Sign. Think of someone sharing the gospel during the tribulation and explaining the change of dispensation. They must be able to weave together the Rev12 Sign, the Rapture, and the start of the tribulation in one logical message. It seems to me that a specific biblically based day count between the sign and the rapture would help that immensely.
DeleteBrad, I forgot to even thank you for the beautiful post. Just the words 'Heaven is near' is comforting. It dawned on me that IF, and that's a big IF, if the year is still 5777 according to God as it's been speculated to be a month longer due to the barley harvest, Shemini Atzeret, when the last trump (bugle- "salpigks" in the Greek) would actually be The night of Nov 11 into the evening of Nov 12, the time of the Venus/Jupiter conjunction and the sun in the throneroom. And as we said, 50 days from the great sign.
DeleteI am open to any day... but you are right. That Jupiter Venus conjunction in a month is very interesting indeed. Blessings Rob and thank you.
DeleteThank you so much for all you have done and continue to do. Any posts you elect to make are appreciated, but not necessary. Know this - we will never go back - any of us who have watched faithfully with you. We know the sign occurred, we just don't know yet when the lift-off is, but its not 10 years in the future. The eclipse and subsequent disasters that continue are not anomalous. I firmly am persuaded the Rapture will occur on a "special day". I have long wondered, however, if that date is necessarily a feast date. We may, by continued faith and digging, find it or we may get to Heaven and look back and say, "How did I miss that?" It will be special to God and it will be part of the numerics He is so fond of. Just my personal opinion, we live "in the pause" and thus we are, but are not, part of the Nation of Israel. I believe each and every one of the feasts will be fulfilled with direct correlation to the Nation of Israel. Yes, we were conceived on Pentecost, but by the infilling to overflowing of the Jewish Believers. This is why I suggest we are, but are not, part of the Feast system. If we had been raptured on a Feast Day, I still am convinced it would only have been a shadow fulfillment and not a final sealing of that date. We see through a mirror darkly and our need for control makes it so hard for us to hold loosely to the things we have spent so much time one. However, I have BEGUN to learn I must not only hold loosely the things of this world, but I must also hold loosely the things of God which are not essential to Salvation and critical doctrine. I absolutely am not espousing a loosy, goosey, doctrinal position, but rather a greater reverence and awe of the mind of God. We see and continue to see the things occurring in the Heavens. This was not a "once and done". The Rev 12 sign was a big giant flashing billboard in the sky, along with the eclipse, that said, "I am God, there is none like me and My will be done to the letter. Be on notice and do not take your eyes off me." This is my take away from what we are going through. I am more focused on God and His Word, not less. I am more in awe of His power and glory, not less. I am more convinced of the evil and sinister occurrences of this world, not less. I am in this world, but certainly not of this world. As the great old spiritual proclaims, "I am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger while traveling through this world below . . . I'm going home to see My Father, I'm going home no more to roam, I am just going over Jordan, I am just going over home!"
ReplyDeleteThank you for all you do and have done.

Thank you Brad, thank you for all your hard work, we know that after a birth there are some sleepless nights and wondering what is next as you change diapers at 3 am. Hang in there! The Virgo is very tiard after giving birth.
ReplyDeleteBrad and Friends, this post also welled up emotions within and a deep quiet smile, thank you. Someone had posted "...Once you get the bit in your mouth, you never let go..." which was profound, as I responded at the time. Brad your living sacrifice has served us all so, so very well, thank you again. Blessings and abundance on you and yours, amen. Sherry, I want your poster in my Watcher room, great comments through and through. Be at Peace, brother, and be assured that the kids here in the Den will keep things buzzin' :) Maranatha!
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweetheart and I'm blessed to grab that bit and pull the plow with you any day! Blessings - Sherry
DeleteThanks Brother... much appreciated. So many of us have few people to talk to... I can't tell you how encouraging it is to check in here and see 'signs of life'. : )
DeleteActually folks the sign is still under way. Two mistakes were made that messed us up.
ReplyDeleteA. The solar eclipse ( based on the understandings of ancient astronomy ) was the great red dragon. The university of Chicago ( unwittingly ) revealed that.
https://www.uchicago.edu/features/eclipse_reflects_suns_historic_power/
In order for the dragon to be in a position to devour the man child as soon as it is born he has to be in position ahead of the birth. The seven heads and ten horns are explained in Chapter 13 and 17 as political powers in place at the time of the sign. Any student of history and politics can readily see that they are in place.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
B. Jupiter was not the Man-child. I was never convinced that it was. According to many resources Jupiter was associated with God and his throne. ( https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/gods/jupiter/ ).
On 9/23/17 everything was in place and or had it's sign. The dragon, the woman, and the throne of God where the man child is to be taken. According the Isaiah 66:5-9 tells that the man child is plural ( children )
The following verses tell us 10-11 indicate they are suckling babes.
Joel 2:15-16 gives an order of events. The feasts ( mentioned twice come first ). Then the gathering of the children. The feasts ended on 10/12. The first child ( mercury ) was born on 10/13. On the 17th it Misses Jupiter and from or view runs right into Nibiru ( the star of the dragon ) . Hence 1/3 is cast down by the tail of the serpent. The next star ( Venus) is born 11/1 and on 11/12 converges with Jupiter ( the throne ). The next star ( Mars ) is born on 11/29 and Converges with Jupiter the throne on 1/6/18 in Libra as Nibiru is dragged into the balance of judgement the same day or shortly there after.
Hence the war begins and satan is cast out. But how long is the battle ? We do not know.
According Joel 2:16 The above is the process of the start of the wedding feast " : let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet". See that colon at the start of the clause ? It was put there by the KJV translators to help us see that in the Hebrew, the three feasts and the gathering of the children are the events of the bridegroom going to fetch his bride. The first star has been born.
Keep watching folks.
That one will take me some time to go through and ponder, says the adult in me. The kid in the back seat is screaming, "When will we be there? Does that mean we get to leave after Venus is born on the 1st but before the convergence on the 12th?" Sorry, that kid is always out of control!
DeleteThinking - Blessings -
Sherry
One more question, not saying it will be the last - So the devastation we've seen in America since the eclipse could then be attributed to the Dragon (who had to be out and thus to be in position would have free travel) and his minions. If this theory is a possibility, it might help explain what is to me unexplainable in the hurricanes and their never before seen behavior, speed, water quantity and wind devastation as well as the fires which are burning way hotter than any normal forest fire can burn as they melt aluminum, turn bodies to ash, melt safety glass out of windshields and cause homes to disintegrate while leaving trees either standing or burning from the inside out. HAZARD - RUN ON SENTENCE. My only thought process so far is man-made weapons both in the storms and fires to supersize them or supernatural intervention, either light side or dark side. Just spitballing?
DeleteSherry
Brad Hurst -
DeleteNibiru on the 17th? Do you have a link or more info on this?
To MKSMITH and SHERRY and any one else send an email request to schooldadwinchester@gmail.com and I will send much more to you. However I really prefer to talk to a live person. 925-848-7188. I can explain things much better over the phone. Call any time. I am PST.
DeleteBrad, can you make a post on that scenario? I would bet that there are a lot of people here who would like to see that fleshed out - far more than you could have phone conversations with.
DeleteI am telling people that yes we made mistakes but we did the best we could with what we had. As time goes forward those who continue to watch are learning and making adjustments. Joel 2:15-16 has been very helpful in revealing that first of all the time from the start of the feasts thru the gathering of the children is known as the period of the groom and the bride coming forth.
DeleteThat appears to have started on 9/23/17 and continues even now.
The gathering of the children/sucklings is a unique phrase. According to Isaiah 66:5-11 the man child is more than one child. It is the children of Zion . V.S. 11 tells us that those who are brought forth or born will milk and suck with her.
Revelation 12 gives us essential elements.
The woman with the sun moon and 12 stars ready to bring forth. The woman is Zion and the sun moon and twelve stars was her sign.
The dragon who is in place even before the woman brings forth. This in with out a doubt a reference to the solar eclipse. I wish I would have known that ahead of 9/23/17. Note hydra is the dragon and the eclipse was his sign.
The God and his throne. There is no doubt that Jupiter was known as the astronomical depiction of God and His throne. I wish I would have known this ahead of 9/23/17. Jupiter is the sign of the throne of God.
The man-child. Remember it is plural . As we continue to watch the first of the man-child ( children suckling babes ) was brought forth on 10/13/17 it will miss Jupiter ( the throne ) and run right into (converge with) the star of the dragon ( nibiru ) on 10/17/17. The sun will obscure this from our view but none the less it is an astronomical sign. This star stands in place of the 1/3 of the stars ( children ) to be cast down and trampled on See Revelation 12 and Daniel 8
The next star to be brought forth is Venus. It will be brought forth on 11/1/17 and converge with Jupiter ( the throne ) on 11/12/17
is this the dead in Christ rising first ?
The next of the children to be born is mars. it will be born on 11/29/17. It will converge with Jupiter ( the throne ) 0n 1/6/18.
We which are alive and remain ?
Mars will do so in the balance of Libra ( price deficient ) Nibiru ( the star of the dragon) will follow it into said balance either on the same day or shortly after thus indicating that the dragon will be brought into judgement ( cast out of heaven ) either on that day or soon afterwards.
How close will the actual events correspond with their heavenly sign ?
have a decent break Brad. God bless and you can count on us to continue posting the 'weird, wired, and wonderful' in the comments section:)

ReplyDeletehear hear!
DeleteSeptember 23rd Revisted
ReplyDeleteA on the 24th September I prayed that if God was in the "sign", he would confirm it to me...
I had felt very strongly up to the date of the 23rd that it was an event of significance and I was aware of much of the speculation. Much of it seemed quite unlikely, but I didn't want to say anything negative either, as one day, quite out of the blue, when people are saying "peace and safety", things are prophesied to take a dramatic swing.
To the answer I received then - Dropping my daughter off to school yesterday morning I had asked her what subjects she was doing, and she mentioned English. I asked her what book she was on and she replied "An Inspector Calls".
Then the significance of this quiet answer hit me. It might hit you...
If you haven't read or watched the play, the twist at the ending will be wasted on you, and If you want to carry on reading, be aware that the author wrote a great play that is best enjoyed with its surprised...
OK - you have been warned of the spoiler...
The family at the end of the book are confronted by their guilt over the death of the girl in the story. Each of them had been forced to examine their lives by the mysterious Inspector. He leaves the house and a call comes in... It turns out there has been no such inspector in the police force allocated to them. The whole thing was an illusion. As some congratulated themselves over the way they had got away with their behaviour to the girl and that it didn't matter anyway, as they had got away with it, others realised how she had been mistreated and were filled with remorse and repentance.
As the evening drew to it's conclusion and they were about to leave, the phone rings again.
A girl has died and an inspector is on the way to investigate the incident...
I believe the Lord has allowed us to experience and check our hearts to understand how we would feel if we thought today was our last day on earth. What do we wish we had done, who do we wish we had told? We have a chance to do that now, we are never guaranteed tommorow...
Just for clarity, I do believe that the alignment that occurred on 23rd September was the genuine sign. I suspected it was a sign of something about to happen, rather than happen on the day...
DeleteVery profound . . . and a warning we should all head. We have been given a gift . . . time to offer THE GIFT . . . if it is a day or a year, we should use it wisely!
DeleteBlessings,
Sherry
See Lu Vega's (vegapost) post above... similar thoughts. The question is... what are the standard length of warnings in the Bible?
DeleteBrad, TY again for all the effort for your heavenly family during the last months! Please take your needed time for the earthly loved ones now as we're still waiting! Much much love, your crown will be a big one above for sure! I so much loved the inscription above the cabin door... Wow. :=)) Blessings to all the body!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annabel. Thanks for the encouraging words but I feel like I fall sooooo short each day. You have been a great blessing to me though (and many others I'm sure) and I thank you for your kind words. I wish I could do more, or could have done more... but I take comfort in the fact that He is in control and has directed my steps. Anything good I do is not really from me, but instead from Him who works through us. He is able to take our 5 loaves and 2 fish and feed thousands. I am just grateful to play some small role.... The sign above the door was a great encouragement to me though... just like I am sure the sign on your home is an encouragement to many as well. : )
DeleteThat was beautiful and a great comfort. Thanks for sharing your sign :) Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome Kay... I am grateful it brought you comfort. Spiritual comfort is so needed now days. God Bless you.
DeleteThank you, I love this! We are tired and can't keep up at such a pace. I think it was fitting to be so excited when a fulfillment of Revelation was actually happening, but since it was a sign it is not surprising that the thing it is pointing to is up ahead. I don't have a gift to study and find things, but I can read what others have found and check with the Bible to see if they are so. I so appreciate people like you who can study so well and report to us. Thank you so much for all your work.
ReplyDeleteI was praying the other day about how to think now. The signs were there, and still are. I just wanted to have a clear mind about it. Were we doing It right? The Lord has spoken to me so many times in the last year through things like songs and license plates (they are small signs right? Lol). He did it again. Just as I was asking a car went by me with a 923 license plate, and at the same time a phrase in a song that was playing caught my attention. It said "I'm coming for you soon". I've also had a real feeling of peace since then. 😊 Andrea
Thank you for sharing. I can relate to how you feel. The Lord is amazing at giving us just enough confirmation to keep moving forward. Often time the confirmations are hard to explain (or have very little impact on those listening) but in our heart we know it was from God. He knows us better than anyone and can give us the perfect signal at the perfect time to get His point across. : )
DeleteThank you so much for your encouraging words and photos in this article! NEXT TO HEAVEN is our heart's cry and the soon return of our Bridegroom King Jesus Christ is our Blessed Hope!
