Where are we tracking against the Rapture and the Tribulation according to the prophetic timeline in the Bible? The Beginning of Sorrows. That's where we are.

3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. Matthew 24:3-8 ESV

The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible popularized the phrase beginning of sorrows as you can see here.

All these are the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24:8 KJV (emphasis added)

One nice in late May 2019, I had a very intensive dream as if God was telling me something. I've only had maybe 3 or 4 of these in my life so I know it was different.

Have you ever been reading and come across Bible passages such as 2 Corinthians 5:10 which clearly state believers will be judged for their actions and felt confused? I know I have. I mean surely we are saved by grace, but there are all these passages referencing works, even in the New Testament. What are we to think or believe about this?

Whenever we lose a loved we talk about them going to Heaven. Sometimes we may paraphrase by saying they've gone to a "better place" or to their "next life", but what does that really mean? Is it possible to know anything about Heaven now or will everything be new and completely different than Earth when we get there? Read on to find out!

Thanks to Brad from Revelation 12 Daily, several hundred people recently read my post The Story of the Tree Man on my website here under the Why HeavenlyPerspetives.org menu at the top of this page. I'm grateful to everyone who read it and especially to those who left inspiring comments under Brad's post. I originally documented the story back in 2000 shortly after it happened and I relayed the story in person to multiple Adult Sunday School classes at my church. However, it's been a rare occasion that I have spoken or written about the event after about 2001. It's nice to have another chance to share it with a new set of brothers and sisters in Christ!

I pray that none of you reading this post ever have the opportunity to know what it is like to lose a child. The phrase "gut-wrenching" sort of explains it, but in a massively understated way. It's way worse than simply gut-wrenching and infinitely worse than anything else I have ever experienced. There's no way to avoid the after-effects of the event. It is life-changing. The important question is, how does a traumatic event like this change your life?
