Exactly. There are prophecies which say that satan will get it just when he thinks he's won. And when we think all is lost, it will be restored. Evil being what it is, I wonder that anyone would wish to put off the day when it is wiped out. Even some hardened sinners will be converted in the three days. I see it as a totally good thing, even though it will be a tough time, but anymore tough times are here to stay---until after the three days. Jesus said when we see these days, we are to lift up our heads, because our redemption draweth nigh.

If I were single and had no family members, then I would look forward for the day when evil is wiped out. I am not so much afraid for my life. But I dread this day because I don't want to see my family members suffer or die infront of me. I often think how much better it would be if I had no family members or loved ones so that I don't have to ever watch them die.

So it is just the ticket for you, Magdalene, cause anyone that is with you will not die. But one of the prophecies I read years ago said that some will sleep through this. I don't know if that was a legitimate prophecy or not, because that was in my NO days. I just figured that anyone that looked like they were dead should be laid on a bed until the sun comes out again. Soooo....if it is avoiding the sight of loved ones dying you want, the three days would be the only way.

Having gotten into this with Vandaler on the other thread, I think I will place my thoughts about the three days here, too. I know that a lot of people don't like the idea of it happening soon, even if they like the idea of it happening at all. I do, and the sooner the better. Let us just suppose that this is indeed the method God uses to chastise us.

In the first place, when we do see it coming, those who have sincerely prayed that His "Kingdom come, His will be done" will rejoice in the imminent fulfillment of His promise they see in the sky. We could sure use some good news these days, too. All others will be given plenty of time to repent. We will also be given time to go indoors to safety.

In the second, and most important, place we will know that these evils will soon be over. Every second of every day people are being murdered, getting abortions, lying, stealing, torturing, plotting mass murders and wars, molesting children and destroying souls right and left. How can we possibly want that to go on and on? How can we possibly want that to go on even one more second?

Not necessarily true. The prophecy says that it is not only the evil and sinful people in the world that will die, but also the good along with them.

Is that the three days or before? I know that there will be martyrs, but if the good are to die too, what happens to the rest of the prophecies? Then we do have the end of the world. But Isaiah 65:17-20 speaks of a time almost like Eden. In any event, we ALL die when God says so, and in the manner in which He prescribes. Perhaps it is like the blind man whom the apostles wanted to who's sins he was blinded for. Jesus said it was for the glory of God. Then again prophecy speaks of a pestilence in the air, which I suppose is a poison. I don't know about that, but why warn us to get inside and stay or we will die, if we are going to die from it anyway.
