"For Jim Bramlett and Steve Berryman"
Yes! We are also awaiting Jesus as 'a thief in the night' to snatch away His bride in Spring 2008.
We
have been privileged to have a young boy (14) in our midst for a short
time who had a series of visions about the end-time events, last year
from April to mid September. I believe you will enjoy seeing how
they fit in with your views. I was so thrilled to see them
confirmed by your writings which I only discovered this last week as we
do not have internet access at home.
Wow! Our God is awesomely awesome!
Background:
We live at the southernmost tip of Africa in a small town and are part
of a small assembly of believers gathering in our house. We are
also looking eagerly for the Lord's return, have been for years
now. We wrote down the visions and felt led to post it on our
website www.insearchoftruth.info. You may find it
interesting and you may feel free to add our weblink to your site if
your spririt witnesses with it.
The visions clearly
indicate 3 periods of 3½ years each, making 10½ years in total, from
the 'calling away' or the 'bride theft' as some call it to the 'Rapture
and First Resurrection'. (The Lord then ordered my husband to
write a booklet on that 10½ years and to put it on our website as a
'survival manual' for those who will stay behind.)
But
this is interesting: Quite a number of years ago (8 years or
more) a brother in the Lord phoned us and told us of a dream he had
had. He was very much in awe and struck to the core by what he
experienced God showed him. In the dream the Lord told him that
'by 2018 everything shall have been fulfilled'. (Refer to Jesus'
parable of the fig tree - Mat. 24:32-35.) It was so vivid
and clear, he was really shaken by the experience! We kept it in
our hearts, waiting for some confirmation.
Now if we
accept 2018 as the end of this dispensation and the beginning of the
Millennium, it makes 70 years (a full generation - Ps 90) since 1948 -
when Israel was again established as a nation. If we accept
the 10½ years period and count back from the end of 2018, we end up in
the first half of 2008 for the 'bride theft'. (More specifically,
if we put the rapture at the Feast of Trumpets of 2018, the Bride Theft
is linked to the Feast of First Fruits of 2008.)
Adding this to all the other witnesses for this time, we are beyond excited! Praying and eagerly watching to welcome Him!
In Christ Jesus our Lord
