How does "The Rapture" fit in with Ascension or better yet, The Cosmic Plan of our One Infinite Creator?
Lately, our Pastor, has started a class about Biblical Prophecy & how it predicts the "End Time Signs" which he says we are in now, and "The Rapture" & how things are really coming to an 'end' very very soon...like within our own life time. So, I am wondering just how it all fits in. We attend the First Christian Church here in El Centro. There is LOTS of information from the Law of One material I see relating with what he's talking about. However, I feel badly for him, because I really think that he isn't seeing the "whole picture" (my own opinion). But who am I to contradict what a pastor says? . But, I do quite a bit to myself & my husband anyway! We both feel deeply & have had lucid dreams about the both of us being Wanderers & have done the several "questionaires" & meditations to come to this conclusion. In a private talk that he had with both my husband and I, he said what I have here (combining Eastern wisdom & Law of One) and are going forth with is a "philosophy" not a "teaching", that is from Jesus Christ. I've read what quite a lot of other posts here speak of Yahway, which I accept as being referred to as Jesus, since the Bible refers tro Him as Yahway also? The LOO refers to Jesus as an Ascended Master, instead of as our "Savior" like the Pastor teaches & is in the Holy Bible. I personally, believe that He is One & the same...if that makes any sense. Also, is "The Ascension" basically what our pastor is calling "The Second coming of Jesus Christ"? Or is it the Rapture? WHERE does the "Rapture" all come into play here? Or does it? Or is it only called by another term? Sorry that my questions seem to be a bit of all over the place, but I'd really like to be able to understand the bigger picture a little bit better. Thank you all for being here for me & Bring4th in having a place to ask such questions. I do realize that I have so much more to learn & read & meditate about, but it's okay, because I'll have all Eternity to do so.
Peace/Love/Light
PS...I am not fearing death anymore, now that I know/believe that I will continue to go on & learn more Love & that I can go on growing in wisdom & light!
