Dear friends:

Twice this morning, once before my message about “Dire predictions,” and once after, readers reminded me of my January 11, 2007 post below.  Because of that unusual synchronicity and possible relevance to my earlier message, I will repeat it as follows.

Here is what was reported to me just after Christmas 2006 by a faithful reader of this newsletter:

An employee of mine, Chelsea _______ , told me a story of something that happened to her just this past weekend at Wal-Mart.  She and two of her friends were in the toy section at our local Wal-Mart here in Enterprise, Alabama this last Saturday night looking for some playing cards.  An unaccompanied little girl around four years old appeared on the isle and was just staring at them, smiling.  They all just looked back and in the awkward silence finally said hello, wondering where her parents were and why such a little girl was alone.  She looked at them and replied "Did you have a good Christmas?"   Chelsea and her friends smiled and kindly replied "Yes, we did.  Did you have a good Christmas?"  No answer, a few seconds of silence, and the little girl asked the same question again, "Did you have a good Christmas?"  Again they answered yes and with no answer to their question, the little girl asked again, "Did you have a good Christmas?".  They thought wow, this is getting kind of weird, but again answered just yes hoping she would go on and find her parents.  The little girl just stood there staring at them with still no expression on her face and this time said, "I hope you had a good Christmas because it was our last here on earth. We won't have another one because God told me Jesus is coming back before then."  The girls looked at each other in amazement and tears started filling their eyes and they looked back for the girl and she was gone.  All three girls were left there in the toy isle crying because as Chelsea said, “Deep down inside we felt it was true.”  Was she an angel I don't know, but as they say out of the mouths of babes.  Let the Holy Spirit guide your heart with this, but to me it is just another confirmation to me that Jesus is at the doorstep just waiting for God to hand him the key to get in.
 
In Jesus,

She later added:
 
I left out one small detail in the story, it was late Saturday night.  My husband told me to let you know because he thought it was an important detail.... All the hair on my body stood up when Chelsea told me of the encounter.  It just confirmed in my spirit that we are on the verge.

Bramlett afterthoughts:

One reader thought this might be an Internet rumor or urban legend.  No way.  It happened.

We do not know for sure that this was an angel.  It sounds like it to me but we cannot be 100% sure.  The behavior of the child was very strange and unlikely, and dialogue was also strange and unlikely.  It is all most unlikely, especially the prophetic words that came out of the child's mouth, which are very relevant to the times in which we live, something the child would probably not know. 

Some might say that all angels in the Bible are male, but that is not necessarily so.  See Zechariah 5:9.  My studies of angels conclude that they can take on any form they desire, or need, for the mission God gave them.

I choose to believe the little girl was an angel, and if so, her prophecy will be true!
