The Holy Spirit is amazing, I just read this morning 1 Thessalonians 4-5 and one of the key verses that the Lord put on my heard was 1 Thes. 5:3. The term “Peace and safety” has been echoing in my head all day.
It is amazing how much that term is used these days, in that exact form.
This after noon I found a new article posted on RaptureReady.com by Jack Kelly on this very topic. It is a very good article and includes some of the Marian topic I have been reading about recently.
If you haven’t explored it, you should it is amazing how wide-spread it is and how much it spreads across faiths. If you are interested check out the book “Queen of All”.
Jack lays out a very plausible fulfillment of various Prophecies.
The other bit of scripture that has been placed on my heart was from 1 Thes. 5:20.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-22
English Standard Version (ESV)
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
“Do not despise prophecies” and “Do not quench the Spirit”, I still haven’t worked these out for how they apply but I will update this post when I do…

From Peace And Safety To Desolation And Destruction
by Jack Kelly
While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape (1 Thes. 5:3).
Like many works of man its beginning will be filled with hope and promise. Following the chaos that will accompany the rapture of the Church and the Middle East war we call the Battle of Ezekiel 38 a man will emerge, a leader like none the world has ever seen. He’ll claim to have a way to restore peace to a world that will have been shocked by the recent disappearance of millions and by the nuclear exchange that began in the Middle East and quickly spread from Europe in the west to Russia in the east.
People will be desperate for answers and multiple appearances around the world by the beautiful and tender Marian apparition will convince them that this leader has them. Among other things, she will tell them he’s her son, come to restore peace to the world. Through her supernatural influence Catholics, Muslims, New Agers, the Eastern religions and even non-believers will unite behind him and for a time it will seem like an enduring peace is finally coming to Planet Earth.
