Biblically there is precedent for a Departure.
Enoch walked with God and God took him, it was said of him that he believed God that his body would not see corruption (death). He took a step one day and was gone. During the time of ancient Israel, Elijah was in constant conflict with the wicked queen and her wimp husband Ahab. He finally had enough. He said to God- take my life! Elijah was told to anoint Elisha in his stead. Elijah cheated the undertaker, just as Enoch did before the flood. He went UP. Now we are in the New Covenant, and what some call the end of the Church age. A Departure is due. Not one person but one body - a body of believers. Now, the two names of Elijah and Elisha are similar because of this- Elisha requested a double portion and he got it. This is a prophetic picture of the Double Portion coming on those (yeah- some, if not all, of you guys) who are here after we leave. You are going to need it. 
You still haven't attempted to establish why we ought to take anything in your magic book seriously. That's why everyone is latching onto the one testable thing you've offered.
Incidentally, are you going to do as one guy did, back in 1999 (iirc), when he locked up and abandoned his house, car and everything he owned because he wasn't going to need them after the so-called Millennium?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Thanks for the concern Stimbo.
On the 27th, if still here, I will continue working every day, just like now (man I have a lot of vac. days left), bike riding, cutting grass, and then winter prep come November. Western NY isn't exactly California. But earthquakes are super rare, no scorpions, rattlers, hurricanes, tornadoes, fire ants,etc. Maybe put a roof on the old garage. As I say about markets- timing is everything. And of course, fulfill my commitment to donate and depart AF. I based this post on indicator convergence, if wrong, I will eat the whole crow- feathers and all. I have not thrown in the towel prematurely- patience is a learned virtue. |
