The story link about the red heifers has no sources. It seems to be worded in a way common to conspiracy theory articles (or even advertising clickbait): It titillates with emotionally-laden possibilities. But it has no reliable sourcing of claims made. There is nothing verifiable. That is a red flag.

What brings the Lord back will not be the saints on jittery all-night internet rapture watch. It will be the saints choosing instead to watch in prayer, in bearing fruit, by gaining the oil. If we gained believers by excitement, we would lose them quickly. (Embarrassingly, I've had lots of experience bringing in college students who get excited at love feasts or conferences in the LR, we see them standing and shouting and calling on the Lord, their faces glowing. Wow!...and we never see them again).

This kind of thinking, that is, jumping to conclusions when we see an event that sounds similar to what we want to see, is not clear thinking. One test is: does it bear out in the long run? Also, does it create primarily emotional responses, like excitement, fear, or anger?

I would venture a guess, although I have no scriptural support for it, that if we're watching His face, it will not be a surprise when He comes.
