The Best and the Brightest

I have a sister who is two years older than me, and all through school she had a well-earned reputation for being one of the wild ones. She didn't study much, got poor grades, had a penchant for the bad boys, and seemed to cause a lot of headaches for her teachers (not to mention her parents).

But then along would come little Greg two years later, and when those same teachers would recognize my last name and realize I was her younger brother, they were inclined to groan and mutter...

"Oh no...not another one!"

Boiling Water

I have written on the topic of the Rapture several times in the past, but there is one aspect of this doctrine that seems to be affecting an increasing number of Christians these days, especially those who, like me, hold to a pre-tribulational view of its timing. A fairly trivial event sparked something in my spirit not long ago, and it finally compelled me to address this issue.

A few months ago I was reading a Christian blog that I visit occasionally, and the author had posted a short piece about something of prophetic significance that had occurred a few days prior. I don't remember what the event was, but I do recall that it wasn't something terribly earth shattering. Noteworthy, yes. Earth shattering, no. I mean, it wasn't as if the Israelis had just bulldozed the Dome of the Rock or something. It was just some prophetic trend that had advanced a step, and so it was just another in a seemingly endless torrent of events that serve to remind prophetically knowledgeable believers that we are indeed getting close to the Rapture. Frankly, however, it's getting to the point where such things happen on a weekly—if not daily—basis.

7/7/2026 — From the "Take Me Home" Department...

I don't usually write about goofy stuff like this, but this time I just felt...led.

On the Fourth of July, 2026—the 250th Anniversary of the Greatest Nation on Earth, two completely unrelated events occurred. Neither was of any particular significance or related to Bible prophecy in any way whatsoever—they were just two random news items that happened to catch my attention.

But the Holy Spirit used these two minor news items to set off a nuclear blast in my spirit.

Allow me to explain:

The first event occurred in Washington, D.C., where thousands of people had come to attend the Great American State Fair in the area around the National Mall. As it turns out, however, Mr. Weather had different ideas.

A major storm had moved into the D.C. area, bringing with it a torrent of lightning. As a result, events were halted that afternoon and thousands of people were evacuated from the National Mall area and headed for cover until later that evening due to the threat of lightning strikes.

OK, calm down...and fasten your seatbelts: Here comes event No. 2:

In Major League Baseball, the New York Mets were visiting the Atlanta Braves on the Fourth of July, and something happened during the game that many thought was pretty cool. The Braves were leading 4–2 and were batting in the bottom of the eighth inning, and first baseman Matt Olson was at the plate.

During his at bat, the crowd spontaneously began singing John Denver's hit song "Country Roads." With the count at three balls and two strikes, the crowd sang the last line of the song: "Take me home down country r-o-a-d-s." As the pitcher delivered the climactic 3–2 pitch, the last word of the song was echoing through the stadium. And right on cue, KA-BOOM! Olson belted it out of the ballpark for a home run.

Before God, no one could have possibly choreographed it any more perfectly, and the home crowd went absolutely ballistic in response.

My point (and I do have one) is that later that day these two events began to burn in my spirit, and I felt that God was bringing this odd pair of events to my attention as a pair of related messages...or perhaps I should just call them "reminders." And those "reminders" were short, simple, and to the point:

Soon and very soon, the Church
will be singing "Take me home."

And after we're gone, the people of
the world will be heading for cover.

Or maybe it's just me.

News flash for
the liberal left:

You can hide
and watch.

(See Ezekiel 38–39
for more details.)

Why?

And I will bless them
that bless you, and
curse him that curses
you: and in you shall
all families of the
earth be blessed.
(Gen. 12:3 AKJV)

That's why.

Tired of
bad news?

For God so loved the
world, that he gave
his only begotten
Son, that whoever
believes in him should
not perish, but have
everlasting life.
(John 3:16 AKJV)

Now that's
Good News!
