Have you noticed that attitude can make all the difference. It can make our days, relationships, and conversations, easier or harder. Attitude influences whether we approach a situation with enthusiasm or negativity. Attitudes are contagious. A positive attitude brightens a situation, while a negative attitude sends waves of doubt and heaviness. I remember a professor I had who walked into class the day of a test and stated, “The anxiety in this room right now is thick enough to cut with a knife.” It was true.

Yes, those who live in Harmony, Minnesota have heard all the puns. “Finally, dear, we are in harmony!” “Can we be in harmony on this?” “Let’s see if we can sing in harmony.” Elsie and I took a day trip to this wonderful little town of 973 people because we had heard that there was a large Amish contingent of families living in and around Harmony.

We have seen the revelation of the Anti-Christ, an overview of the 7 year Great Tribulation, the building of the Tribulation Temple and the restart of the sacrifice system with the priests, peace on earth for Israel, the Satanic alliance of nations, the Satanic trinity, the Abomination of Desolation, the two witnesses, the 144,000 Jewish evangelists, and the mark of the Beast (666). We now turn our attention from earth to heaven and ask the question:

 What is happening to believers in Christ who have been raptured while the Great Tribulation is happening on the earth?
