It’s September 14th, the day after Rosh Hashanah 2026, and Christ believers are still here! Am I disappointed? Yes! With how things are going with this world and my own life, I wanted to disappear from the world like I would’ve if Jesus had come in the clouds to take believers away like I Corinthians 15 says He will. Ken had just come home from the hospital where I had been for most of the time since last Tuesday when he went to the ER. The Rapture was a possibility on that holiday to just escape this fallen world for good by being changed ‘in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye’ and to go to the realm of Heaven for 7 years at the Judgement Seat of Christ for rewards before the Tribulation Period on Earth ends for us to come back with Jesus Christ as King to New Jerusalem for the Millennial Reign of a thousand years.
Is it just mere Fantasy? I seriously doubt that since I write Speculative Fantasy of my own, and the Christian Holy Bible is ten million times truer and factual than anything else ever written or told. Just because some people can’t interpret it correctly doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen exactly like it was prophesied it would over thousands of years ago. Too many other prophecies have historically happened, so why would I not believe in the rest? To not believe the rest doesn’t make any sense to me, spiritually, mentally, or academically. Those who know me at all would know any of those would never stop me from pointing to the Christian Holy Bible as the One and Only written Word of God with the Judaic scripts it came from too. This is the reason why all other religions want both of our Faiths destroyed since all others are false.
I feel sad that this will upset those who are following the other religions of this world, but I can’t just dilly dally around the reality of Jesus Christ being the One True Son of the One True Living Triune God Almighty the Creator, no matter how many get upset and want me dead. It is the Way of those called as the Watchmen on the Wall and Snatchers from the Fire. While I love Grogu and the Mandalorian, the “Way” really was first used by Christians in that time period of history, so I have decided to mentally have them both come to know Jesus Christ and be saved to the real WAY! Yes, that is NOT in reality since they are fiction characters I don’t own rights. The reality of the Holy Bible is NOT something that can be mentally altered by us and be REAL, even though many churches still try do it every single church service.
My point is that now that we have passed Rosh Hashanah 2026, Jew and Gentile Christ believers need to study the Word, preach the Gospel, and pray for the final Harvest of souls to know our Savior before the Rapture does happen. More time to work, reach, teach, love, lead others to Salvation, and keep our wicks trimmed and oil filled! I’m not saying spiritual sanctimonious; I’m talking about being real about Jesus in everyday life and showing His love in many everyday ways. Spiritual gifts are more than tongues, healing, and prophecy. Homemaking outreach, grounded teaching, and giving to others in times of need are important right now more than ever. Each Gift has a time and a purpose. Not everyone gets the flashy ones since there is a strong temptation to become proud, and that is the worst way to get since Satan did that.
We aren’t to be like the world either by letting sin be accepted as ‘okay’. The thing is that even being ‘okay’ is not good enough for the world now – it must be celebrated. These sins that the Christian Holy Bible is very clear to most who at least know some of the Bible. When fringe movements get caught up with political or entertainment backings then some people choose to follow a political party or popular trend that can lead to ultimate death. Believers in Christ need to remember we have been saved out of the world and are to live apart from the world. You can care about a person in those altered addiction lifestyles, but you must tell them the Truth while still showing them the better way to fulfill those needs they think are being met by that fix, whether alcohol, drugs, sex, or pain. You can’t go into that without Gift back-up.
As the ‘Days of Awe’ commence, believers in Christ each need to take a spiritual inventory of what your outreach goals are, what Gifts are needed for certain encounters so you can match up with other believers, and what level your own Gift needs to be restored. Life can be tough, and just living can be difficult, but being a light to those still lost has to be a priority for each and every Christian in this world in 2026. We have to let go of the disappointment of any time that Jesus hasn’t come yet and KNOW in our hearts that HE PROMISED. We must be the five virgins that kept their wicks trimmed (lives away from sin) and oil filled (letting the Holy Spirit flow through you). Let this year be a year of RETURN to the basics of Christianity, the Infilling of the Holy Spirit with Spiritual Gifts present, and the Love of Jesus SHINING!
