The End

The end times have always intriguing to me. As a young child I always felt that I would be in the tribulation. Who knows how that idea got in my head. Maybe it could be all the times the movies about the rapture and being left behind were show in the church when I was very young. By age 8 I could not sleep and would have my dad sit by my bed until all hours of the night (happened mostly on Saturday nights) and he would have to stay awake, I could not be the last one to go to sleep as a child. What patience he had, I would toss and turn, I can still remember the dark circles around his eyes as he stayed awake until 2-5 AM at my bed side. Oh, I was so afraid of death as a child, especially death by fire. Flipper would scare me and I would hide behind the lazy boy chair and peak at the show, so other than the scary movies shown at church they really limited my TV.

As I have grown up I have always felt I was to be in the tribulation, that I would never be good enough to make the rapture. I was raised strictly Pre-Trib. Never questioned it until Grandpa John made some mention one day while visiting that scripture really talks about several different. To me that made more sense, yet I have not sat down and reread Revelations to see for myself. This post by a fellow SOW'er just might get me to.







I have been having some very interesting dreams over the last 3 years. And they all seem to one way or another fit into this idea. Interesting. Just some rambling thoughts. And yes, I would like your ideas on these things.
