Endurance: this week media reported on the miraculous discovery of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Shipwreck Endurance deep in the waters of Antarctica. Links to two news articles on this discovery are below.

This Shipwreck is quite remarkable: on Saturday 5 March 2022, with just a very short window of exploration time remaining, and exactly 100 years after Shackleton's burial, the ship was discovered at depth in freezing Antarctic waters!!. Importantly, the ship is very well preserved with the name ENDURANCE clearly evident - like a beacon from the darkness of the water deep in Antarctica!
· This discovery in 2022 is 107 years after the Shipwreck in 1915 - the Rapture number!!
A Promise of the Rapture: Kept Safe from the Hour of Trial
In my regular Bible reading, I was in Revelation chapter 3. Verse 10 (Amplified) was incredibly timely (Endurance is the reason for being saved from the tribulation!!).
10 BECAUSE YOU HAVE KEPT THE WORD OF MY ENDURANCE, I will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial, that hour which is about to come on the whole [inhabited] world, to test those who live on the Earth.
11 I AM COMING QUICKLY!! Hold tight what you have, so that no one will take your crown [by leading you to renounce the faith].
A Promise for those Left Behind!!
Revelation 13 verses 7 to 10 are also noteworthy. This chapter concerns the kingdom of the Antichrist, some of the early stages of which are evident on the earth now (especially in the past two years).
He (the Antichrist) was also permitted to wage war against the saints (God’s people) and to overcome them, and authority and power over every tribe and people and language and nation. 8 All the inhabitants of the earth will fall down and worship him, everyone whose name has not been written since the foundation of the world in the Book of Life of the Lamb who has been slain [as a willing sacrifice].
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is destined for captivity, he will go into captivity; if anyone kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword.
Here is [the call for] the PATIENT ENDURANCE and the faithfulness of the saints [which is seen in the response of God’s people to difficult times].
Amazing that this unusual sign could come from Antarctica at this time of high watching!!
