  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Pastor, and well-known author, Carl Gallups had a vivid rapture dream years ago.

Regardless of what one may believe about the timing of the rapture, I found his to be a very interesting dream.
But what I found to be even more interesting was 'the rest of the story' that he shares, in this video.

Yes, I've had a similar dream.
Very interesting. Yes, thank you for sharing your experience.

It does make me wonder, how many others may be having rapture dreams at this time.
It would not be unlike our loving Lord to prepare His people through dreams, and visions, for what is to come.

I've had several and they mostly came during 2021. I also recall a couple I had when I was a child. I told my family but was brushed off as the child with a crazy imagination. My parents had no idea how to deal with my "crazy dreams". Even now, when I share a testimony or experience, I'm still brushed off with eyerolls and other obvious body language of disbelief. I've since stopped sharing with them. At least I know now that I'm in great company! :) It's been a privilege.

Well, we all know now that based on Joshua from South Africa, his prediction and date setting for September 23 and 24th is a complete fail. Just as it is with all date setters. What is shocking now, is people who call themselves Christians, are defending this man over believing the words of Jesus! They are twisting what Jesus says "that no man knows the day or the hour" and are still moving the goal posts in hopes that somehow Joshua was right! Deception is at an all time high right now. Crazy times!

The level of credibility we assign to strangers is shocking. You don’t know the person or their walk with the Lord but if they make a video it must be true or possible. Joshua shouldn’t have been able to hoodwink anyone. But people want someone to believe in and they’re pouring their faith into unrighteous vessels. And much like we’ve seen with politics they’re defending their idol and won’t be convinced of their duplicity. As this continues (and it will) we’ll confront the necessity of separating and leaving them to their delusion. Lest we’re tainted by the leaven. He’s the first of many scandals to come.

Apparently, he's been sitting on this dream/vision since 2018, so he had to get it out before time expired! I first saw his video in July on God's Voice Daily and immediately brushed him off as another date setter, whoop-de-do. Then.. it started circulating more on youtube so I became intrigued with what other people were saying and permitting. The emotional damage that I saw is baffling. People are scared to death, selling all their possesions, one woman called CPS to come pick up her kids because she was sure she was going to be raptured that night! Now, it'll be a hard road for her to get her kids back. People quit their jobs, sold their house then gave all the money away! Clearly, people are not ready for the rapture should it even happen. I hope Joshua repents and apologizes for all the craze he's caused worldwide. He's set to be on Centtwinz today at 5 o'clock, even though he's said he won't make it because he's sure he'll be raptured by then.

His return is the subject of His teaching on this. The Harpazo is not His return.
People around the world are reporting what they are being given by His supernatural means.
His Own know this, those who cling to an outward form of Godliness denying the power that comes from relationship miss the mark.
"Great minds speak of the Creator, average minds speak of events, small minds talk about people." attributed to Elenore Roosevelt.
best wishes

Apparently, he's been sitting on this dream/vision since 2018, so he had to get it out before time expired!

If he was genuinely concerned about sharing the message he would have posted it during the pandemic when the majority were home. Any conman worth his salt would have done the same and made a fortune during that period to boot. But this wasn’t a hustle in the traditional sense. It’s more like a rug pull designed to wound. The people defending his actions only amplify the lie and give the impression that christians are gullible and easy to fool.

The emotional damage that I saw is baffling. People are scared to death, selling all their possesions, one woman called CPS to come pick up her kids because she was sure she was going to be raptured that night! Now, it'll be a hard road for her to get her kids back. People quit their jobs, sold their house then gave all the money away!

There’s something amiss with our deduction in addition to a lack of wisdom. If you listen to people talk their brain processes information like silos. Never connecting the dots. With all that we have available on the subject and footage of firsthand accounts of former members of doomsday groups they still were deceived. History exists for a reason and the bible tells us there’s nothing new under the sun. If they could make that leap and leave their jobs, sell their homes or hand over their children based on something they saw on the internet they have the potential to go further. Actions like that reveal a lack of guardrails. They were going to be devoured by something.

Clearly, people are not ready for the rapture should it even happen. I hope Joshua repents and apologizes for all the craze he's caused worldwide. He's set to be on Centtwinz today at 5 o'clock, even though he's said he won't make it because he's sure he'll be raptured by then.

I don’t believe in the rapture and never have. And I’m increasingly leery of people led by their emotions who have no grounding. They’re easy to manipulate like pieces on a chessboard and I’m playing a long game. This is what happens when you aren’t prepared and ignore the warnings delivered by your enemy. No one should be in the dark. They told us what to expect in 2020.

When that man said you’d own nothing and be happy he wasn’t kidding. Nor was he a random guy with a microphone. He was the head of a global organization comprised of leaders around the world who also trains them. Many presidents, prime ministers, government and business leaders have gone through their system. What he proposed wasn’t greatness it’s destructive. And that was our warning to get your house in order because rocky days are ahead.

We’re witnessing the early signs of desperation. Read the comments and you’ll see what’s amiss. Jesus is the get out of jail free card and they want to be raptured. But you didn’t hear that during covid. The world was locked down and people were dying. But no one asked to go home because of the stimulus. If there was any period when you should have sought that it was then. But the money soothed their fears.

Adversity is a truth serum. You don’t know what a person is made of until you put their back against the wall. That’s when you learn what makes them tick or break. If you touch the money you’ll make a lot of people crack and they’ll gravitate to people like Joshua or hurt themselves or someone else. That’s why we’re seeing messages about christian community, sharing resources and the acts church because the shaking is here. They’re not random events they’re all connected.
