      No one knows the exact day hour /But we can see the signs events all around us. And by the timeline, Israel is 80 years and 1 generation span according to bible text will be around 2027 , which israel was declared first in 1947 + 80 years = 2027 . so we know we dont have 10 years left as this is 2022 so the rapture, then the tribulation will be before 2030 for sure.
      The rapture will happen without a doubt and it will happen much sooner than many believe (less than 10 years according to all the environmental, weather,astronomical signs ,israel timelines etc showing ). It will happen without any warning , not one , in an instant , catching masses of people off guard just like God always does, ie the flood ~ a rude awakening . No one knows the exact day or hour the rapture will happen is a certainty . THE RAPTURE CAN HAPPEN NOW at ANY TIME make no mistake !! . Please awake to Christ Jesus which is the ONLY hope NOW and dont let it be found out it IS all true later when its too late & many have been left behind in the most terrible times the earth Has Ever experienced Before and ever will...for anyone who sees this and doesnt know what to do please If anyone hasnt given their life and heart to Christ Jesus will have REAL BIG problems way bigger than any problems Ever had If left here on earth after the Rapture . After the Rapture The USA , Worldwide , will face More evils , Inner city chaos, firearm wars etc etc ,power & water , food shortages , military invasions,mass executions (yes much blood will be required by antichrist ) etctec than it Has EVER been seen Before and you surely dont want to be Here then . We Have Time NOW to change , please seek Christ Jesus while there is still time to save ! no one knows the day or hour of the rapture it will start out just like any other day and it will Take Place In the day In Broad daylight/sunny day , In an Instant FLASH without ANY warning ,& there will be peoples Driver Ids, cell phones ,wallets found in various parking lots,Purses, bill folds Found at work etc etc with NO explanation , and People VANISHING so No One can refute it has taken place. .
      romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shall be saved!
      please share with others =IMPORTANT
      raptureready.com
      Information for anyone who has come across those that refute the
      rapture and say that it was supposedly made up and say it was created by darby church in 1700s . This is real good to show it was way before darby , and its documented .
      also rapture pre trib proofs even in dead sea scrolls .

    Things that I’ve done on Catalina Island, that no tourist knows about: 1. Disconnecting the lights to my Honda 70 and riding the horse trails on a full moon night. 2. Riding a Big Wheel from the summit down to Avalon, on a full moon night. 3. Riding a CZ 125 down Front Street at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. 4. Driving Golf Balls off of Three Palms Point, into Lover’s Cove, while the Glass Bottom Boat floats below. 5. Sneaking Beer into the Casino Movie Theater. 6. Worked at Lloyd’s and cooked TONS of Salt Water Taffy. 7. Climbed the Mt. Orizaba tower on a cold, foggy winter’s night. 8. Climbed too many hills that were dangerous, due to the brittle shale rock. 9. Ordered all the ingredients to make super black powder, water proof PVC pipe bombs. 10. Played drums for an Islander Rock Band… there’s more, but I think you get the drift… 😀

    When I was there, I hung out for the day with some locals and I got some insight as to what the locals think in regards to tourists.
    They mentioned, not everyone is well off and the tourism has made it very hard to hang out at the bars or restaurants because everything is marked up too much for them and that’s all they have.

    As sailor that has sailed to Catalina (Isthumis, Cat Harbor and Little Harbor) I can say that sailing there is is so much more of an adventure than arriving on a charter boat. We've seen most all of what you have seen, but we have arrived via sailboat (our own). Best way to experience the island.

      It depends on what you’d like to do. It will be cooler, though there are days in December it could be in the high 60s or low 70s, it could also be overcast and in the low 60s or 50s. So if water sports are on your agenda, be prepared for that. But, aside from weather, it will be far less crowded and likely cheaper (unless you go at Christmas, which will be more of both). Have a great trip!

    I won’t lie this seems nice & all but I’m not jet skiing there anything can happen with the ocean so the currents or waves can always vary. I’d rather get there safely and explore or snorkel when there maybe go out the water for a little bit but know if there’s a storm I legit am safe to come back and comfortable. I can live life but not stupidly. Appreciate the vlog though.

The main thing that only the workers really know is that there are many trail that you can hike and different difficulties, also you can camp at Avalon too, you don’t have to go to Two Harbors to “unplug”.

      You better make sure this is what you want to do ! Study up on it !! I have personally been going there for YEARS by boat and there is absolutley NO WAY..... I would go on a jet ski ! It can be very dangerous even by boat ! The ocean can change by the hour and you need to navigate just where you are going ! It can be foggy and you can get lost ,,,it is approx. 26 miles across the channel ! And then you have to get back ! If you leave in the morning it is usually very calm waters , but the ride back in the afternoon can very very ruff and dangerous !! I can not believe people are doing this !!
