Is there going to be a rapture????

ok, well, that's a possible definition. In the context of "Understand I AM," tho, 'eternal' might mean something subtly different than that. We use 'eternal' to mean 'forever,' chiefly as in 'eternal suffering,' when it may mean 'eternally occurring in the same manner,' for instance. This would accept "take no thought for the morrow" into consideration. I don't mean that "forever without end" might not be true in cases, but that it puts possibly the wrong image in our minds in general. "Eternal _________," (joy, suffering, whatever) might be more accurately described then as always occurring in the moment, in those particular circumstances.
