Hi Fellow Watchmen,
 
Recently, I posted a new email, about the keys to the Rapture revealed through the numbers of 7 and 11, showing us that the keys to the Rapture are found in the Biblical accounts of Noah, Joseph, and Moses.  Before I write new emails about Noah and Moses, it is important that we all are brought up-to-date on the account in Genesis 45 about Joseph, and the 7-year Famine Week, a prophetic type of the Final 7 Years.
 
Even if you read these 2 emails several months ago, we all need to re-read them, as a word-by-word Hebrew study of Gen. 45, shows us this Chapter is almost assuredly talking about the timing of the Rapture.  In a couple of days, I will be sending you Part 2.  After that, I will be posting about Noah and Moses, the other two keys to the timing of the Rapture, that the Lord is showing to us.  It is Joseph, that is the most complete type of Jesus in the entire Word.  It is in the story of Joseph that we have the parallel 7-year Famine Week.  And it is because of Joseph, and Gen. 45, and the Famine Week, that we have every reason to expect the Rapture/Sudden Destruction to take place in the Fall of 2010.  THE TIME IS NOW ALMOST UPON US!!!  These are two of the most exciting posts that I have ever written.  Let the Lord fill your heart with expectation and urgency as you read these two posts, that I wrote several months ago.


    
    
    

     

                                          THE KEY TO THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE--

                                             GENESIS 45--THE FAMINE WEEK--PART 1                     

      

     

    If the Lord had not led me to retire several years early from a very good and secure job with the U.S. Postal Service earlier this year, you would not be receiving this email today.  He made it clear to me that I was to become A FULL-TIME WATCHMAN (Ezekiel 33).  Through many hours of praying and searching the Word of God and seeking the Lord, I honestly feel that the timing of the Rapture is found in the Word, and that He is encouraging me to present this extremely important email to you.

     

    I want to make it very clear that whatever is accomplished for the Kingdom of God, through this letter, it is my sincere desire that all honor and glory be directed to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  He alone is worthy to receive all the honor, glory, and praise.  It is You, Lord, who took me off the shelf after 7 long years.  It is You who showed me the date that I was to retire to become a FULL-TIME WATCHMAN.  It is You who has chosen to give me revelations and supernatural confirmations, unlike anything I could have ever have imagined.  All I have done is given to you a broken, unworthy vessel, who is earnestly trying to become holy and totally yielded to your precious Holy Spirit.  Thank you, Jesus.

     

    In the Book of Daniel, in the last chapter, Chapter 12, verses 9 and 11, the Lord says to Daniel, “Go thy way, Daniel:  for the words are closed up and SEALED TILL THE TIME OF THE END…but the wise shall understand.”  What a privilege and honor to be a small part of the unsealing of Biblical End-Times Prophecies!  “Lord, make each one of us wise, and give us discernment to be able to comprehend and understand your end-times Bible Prophecies.”

     

    This email is just a first, although the MOST IMPORTANT, in a series of emails of what the Lord has been showing me, concerning Biblical End-Times Prophecies, and especially the timing of the Rapture.  I am still in the process of studying the Old Testament, so as the Lord leads me, I will be writing and posting more in the near future.

     

    In Mark 13: 23, Jesus says, “But take ye heed:  BEHOLD, I HAVE FORETOLD YOU ALL THINGS.”  It is my contention that “ALL THINGS” INCLUDES THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE. Notice the word is FORETOLD, not “told”.  After graduating from college, I went to a night Bible College, despite having a family and a career, where the first thing I learned was this:  In the New Testament, the Old Testament is REVEALED, and in the Old Testament, the New Testament is CONCEALED.  Please read that again, so that you understand it.

     

    The Lord is telling us that EVERYTHING that we need to know about the Second Coming of Christ, the time frame of the Final Seven Years, and the Rapture, is FORETOLD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.  “Then why have we not been able to see it?”, you might ask.  It is because it has been SEALED TILL THE TIME OF THE END and because it has been CONCEALED.  How has it been CONCEALED?  The keys are twofold:  1. Understanding end-times Bible Prophecy.  2. Understanding TYPOLOGY.

     

    Those just happened to be my two favorite and most exciting classes in Bible College.  I had never heard of “typology”, and had absolutely no concept of what it was.  Perhaps in another letter, I will attempt to give you a more thorough explanation, with several examples, of just what typology is.  Briefly, it is discovering the CONCEALMENTS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT of New Testament teachings.  There are several “types” of Christ in the Old Testament, such as Moses, Joseph, Joshua, Isaac, and Melchizedek.  By studying O.T. characters like these, we can learn much about the life and events and character of Jesus.

     

    Studying Bible Prophecy and studying Typology makes the Bible come alive for me like nothing else.  It proves that the author of the entire Bible has to be God.  No human, or group of people, could ever put forth such a masterpiece as the entire Word of God.  There is no “complete” TYPE OF CHRIST in the O.T.  However, in the life of Joseph, there is more to be learned about Jesus, concerning His life and character, than in any other Bible character.  We could call Joseph the “most complete” type of Christ that the Lord provides for us.

     

    For example, comparing Joseph with Jesus, we have 12 brothers—12 disciples.  We have the butcher and the baker, representing the two thieves on the cross.  We have Jesus and Joseph, both being sold for pieces of silver. We have both Jesus and Joseph being totally innocent of the false accusations brought against them.  There are literally dozens of parallels, or types, to be learned about Jesus, by studying the life of Joseph.

     

    With Joseph being the most complete type of Christ found in the Old Testament, it seems logical that something about the Final 7 Years of Bible Prophecy would also be found in his life.  And sure enough, we have the Famine Week, an EXACT PERIOD OF SEVEN YEARS.  This is NOT a coincidence.  This is NOT by accident.  This is by DIVINE PROPHETIC DESIGN.  IT IS A PARALLEL, OR A TYPE, OF THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL, OR THE FINAL 7 YEARS, BEFORE THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST TO EARTH.

     

    It will soon become apparent why I have been recently presenting you with so many letters that have brought forth the time frame for the 70th Week of Daniel.  If you have become convinced that the 70th Week of Daniel began on Oct. 29, 2008, with the confirming of the covenant of Daniel 9:27, and will end on Feast of Atonement, Sept. 23, 2015, EXACTLY 2520 days later, then you should have no problem receiving what I believe the Lord is about to show us.  The evidence, in my opinion, is overwhelming, irrefutable, not contrary, in any way, to the Word of God, and extremely exciting.  It defies all the laws of probability that the time frame for the 70th Week of Daniel could be anything else.

     

    Because of what I am about to show you, it is NOW CLEAR WHY JESUS SAID WE COULD KNOW WHEN HIS RETURN WAS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS.  It has been CONCEALED in the Word of God all these years.  IF ONE KNOWS THE TIME FRAME OF THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL, THAN ONE CAN KNOW THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE!!!!!!

     

    With most Bible Prophecy students looking for the Rapture at the beginning, midpoint, or near the end of the 70th Week of Daniel, this “TYPE” of the Rapture in the Famine Week of Joseph, has been totally CONCEALED.  According to what I believe the Lord is showing me, the Rapture will NOT take place during any of these times.  This is just one more example of “progressive revelation”, which is taking place in these last days.  Most of us have a desire to figure it all out in advance.  The danger in doing that, is that we become so convinced of our sometimes misguided interpretations, that WE FAIL TO SEE WHAT THE LORD IS DOING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES!!!

     

    This is exactly why so many of the religious leaders and Old Testament scholars missed the 1st Coming of Christ.  They had pre-conceived ideas of WHAT THEY THOUGHT THE BIBLE TAUGHT, concerning the coming of the Messiah.  There was more than enough information in the O.T., using Bible Prophecy and Typology, that they SHOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED JESUS AS THEIR MESSIAH.  There is RIGHT NOW more than enough information, that we SHOULD be able to discern that the Lord has REVEALED to us the identity of the Antichrist, Barack Hussein Obama, and the EXACT time frame of the 70th Week of Daniel, including the starting point of the 1260-day Great Tribulation, which is Apr. 11, 2012, a day which the Lord marked in advance, in the Heavens.

     

    Once we are able to believe that we are ALREADY IN THE FINAL 7 YEARS, what the Lord is now going to show us concerning the TIMING OF THE RAPTURE, should be easy to receive.  I KNOW IN MY SPIRIT THAT MANY OF YOU READING THIS ARE ABOUT READY TO BE JUMPING FOR JOY ( I would love to hear positive feedback from those of you who are able to receive what the Lord is about to show us).

     

    I do not see how any Christian would not be able to see that this Famine Week of 7 Years in the life of Joseph is a prophetic “type” of the Final 7 Years of the Book of Revelation.  Because this is so, and Joseph is the most complete type of Christ that we have available, should we not be studying this story of the Famine Week for Biblical answers, concerning the Final Seven Years?

     

    I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THE ANSWER IS RIGHT THERE IN GENESIS, CHAPTER 45.  I have been sitting on this information for a few weeks now, trying to set the stage, so that as many of you reading this as possible, could receive it.  THE JOY, AND ANTICIPATION, AND EXCITEMENT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO HOLD BACK.  MY SPIRIT HAS COME ALIVE AND I AM BURSTING WITH JOY AND EXPECTATION OF WHAT THE LORD IS ABOUT TO SHOW US.

     

    Should we not be searching the story of the 7-Year Famine Week of Joseph for clues and further time frames?  I have searched and there is ONLY ONE TIME FRAME, found in the entire story of Joseph’s Famine Week.  There is SOOOOOOO VERY MUCH TO TALK ABOUT IN GENESIS 45, so let’s read what this very prophetic chapter says:

     

    “Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me.  And there stood no man with him, while JOSEPH MADE HIMSELF KNOWN UNTO THE BRETHREN.

     

    And he wept aloud:  and the Egyptians and the house of Pharoah heard.  And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?  And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.  And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you.  AND THEY CAME NEAR.  And he said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold in Egypt.

     

    Now, therefore, be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither:  for GOD DID SEND ME BEFORE YOU to preserve life.  FOR THESE TWO YEARS HATH THE FAMINE BEEN IN THE LAND:  AND YET THERE ARE FIVE YEARS, in the which, there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

     

    And GOD SENT ME BEFORE YOU to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives BY A GREAT DELIVERANCE.  So now it was not you that SENT ME HITHER, BUT GOD, and He hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.  HASTE YE, AND GO UP TO MY FATHER…”   Verse 11 says, “And there will I nourish thee; for yet THERE ARE FIVE YEARS OF FAMINE;”

     

    WOW!!!  It is very obvious that there is ONE DIVISION IN JOSEPH’S 7-YEAR FAMINE.  Study it all you want, but there is only ONE TIME FRAME MENTIONED AND ONLY ONE DIVISION.  The division is THE FIRST TWO YEARS AND THE LAST FIVE YEARS!!!

     

     

    The Lord obviously must have placed this ONE DIVISION, AND ONE DIVISION ONLY, IN THE FAMINE WEEK OF JOSEPH, FOR A VERY IMPORTANT REASON.  This ONE DIVISION is highlighted by two things.  First, is JOSEPH MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN TO HIS BRETHREN (vs.1).  Secondly, is the GREAT DELIVERANCE (vs. 7).  Both of these things take place AFTER TWO YEARS OF THE 7-YEAR FAMINE WEEK, AND WITH FIVE YEARS OF THE FAMINE WEEK YET TO GO!!!

     

    IT IS SO VERY OBVIOUS THAT THE LORD IS DESCRIBING THE RAPTURE HERE IN THIS CHAPTER!!!  GIVING US THE TIME FRAME OF THE RAPTURE IS BREATHTAKING, AWE-INSPIRING, AND  MAYBE BEYOND THE COMPREHENSION OF MANY OF US!!!  The Lord wants to leave NO DOUBT  as to the timing of this ONE DIVISION IN THE 7-YEAR FAMINE WEEK, because He even repeats what he says in verse 6, “FOR THESE TWO YEARS HATH THE FAMINE BEEN IN THE LAND:  AND YET THERE ARE FIVE YEARS…”  In verse 11, the Lord tells us again, FOR EMPHASIS, “FOR YET THERE ARE FIVE YEARS OF FAMINE.”

     

    AT THE END OF TWO YEARS OF THE 7-YEAR FAMINE WEEK, AND WITH FIVE YEARS YET TO GO IN THE FAMINE WEEK, there comes THE ONLY DIVISION, THE ONLY TIME FRAME MENTIONED IN THE WORD OF GOD.  THIS ONE DIVISION IS JOSEPH (OR JESUS) MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN TO THE BRETHREN AND A GREAT DELIVERANCE BY JOSEPH (OR JESUS).

     

    Does not Jesus MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN to us at the time of the Rapture???  Is the Rapture not OUR GREAT DELIVERANCE???  Therefore, is it not obvious that Jesus, OUR GREAT DELIVERER WILL MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN TO US AT THE TIME OF THE RAPTURE, WHICH WILL BE TWO YEARS INTO THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS, AND WITH 5 YEARS STILL TO GO IN THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS???!!

     

    During the past year, and especially during the past couple of weeks, I have done my best to give all of you the abundance of evidence of the EXACT TIME FRAME OF THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS.  I know that it is harder for you to accept because you have not been give SEVEN SUPERNATURAL CONFIRMATIONS, THREE WITHIN 24 HOURS, THAT OBAMA IS THE ANTICHRIST, AND THAT THE FINAL 7 YEARS STARTED OCT. 29, 2008, AND WILL CLIMAX WITH THE RETURN OF CHRIST, EXACTLY 7 JEWISH YEARS LATER, ON FEAST OF ATONEMENT, SEPT. 23, 2015!  The abundance of evidence is so CONCLUSIVE, we should NOT need any more.

     

    Two years into this time frame of the 70th Week of Daniel, which we can also call the Famine Week, TAKES US TO THE FALL OF 2010 FOR THE PROBABLE TIME OF THE RAPTURE!!!  At this point, that is as far as I want to take this time frame.  We will discuss more about that in future emails.  I still do not know if the Lord will give us the day and hour.  There are several very good options for the probable time of the Rapture in the Fall of 2010.  We will be looking at each of them in the near future.

     

    We are not predicting the Rapture for the Fall of 2010.  We are just saying, based on Gen. 45, that it certainly appears likely.  If either the two years, or the five years, represents partial years, the Rapture/Sudden Destruction could be a few months before, or a few months after, the Fall of 2010.  If the Great Deliverance means something other than the Rapture, the Rapture still should take place, no later than April 11, 2012, which will be the starting date of the 42-month Great Tribulation.

     

    In my next email, Part 2, I will be breaking down this same Chapter of Genesis 45.  After a careful Hebrew word-by-word study of this awesome, exciting chapter, I became convinced that this Chapter 45 is almost certainly REFERRING TO THE RAPTURE!!!   THAT SHOULD BE EXTREMELY EXCITING NEWS TO THOSE WHO ARE READY FOR THIS DAY THAT WE HAVE ALL BEEN ANXIOUSLY AWAITING FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!!

     

    In another email in the near future, I will also be telling you why I believe this GREAT DELIVERANCE MAY BE TWOFOLD.  Most of you realize that I have been showing  from Scripture how the Rapture will be simultaneous with the Sudden Destruction.  This is a clue as to why I believe the GREAT DELIVERNCE of Genesis 45 may be twofold.

     

    Because many people in all manner of spiritual conditions and spiritual readiness will be reading this, I feel compelled to address those who MAY not be ready for this SOON-COMING RAPTURE AND SUDDEN DESTRUCTION.  It is my conviction that the Sudden Destruction referred to, in I Thessalonians 5, is World War 3, with at least SOME nuclear destruction.  There will be NO second chance for millions upon millions of people.  YOU MAY BE ONE OF THEM!

     

    You have been confronted here with what is VERY, VERY LIKELY THE TIME FRAME OF THIS SUDDEN DESTRUCTION, ACCOMPANIED BY THE GREAT ESCAPE, OR THE GREAT DELIVERANCE. It will come very unexpectedly to the vast majority of people in the world.  It will be like a trap.  Those who do not make the Rapture and survive the Sudden Destruction, will be faced with approximately 5 years of the most horrendous time mankind has ever faced.  You can read all about it in the Book of Revelation.

     

    This WARNING MESSAGE is also to all Christians.  Be sure to read my post, “Are All Christians Going in the Rapture?”  ALL of us need to examine our hearts, as to our relationship with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  There are numerous warnings in the Bible to unwatchful, compromising, worldly, backslidden, and lukewarm Christians.  Are you SURE you are ready for the Rapture?

     

    Will you, as a Christian, say this prayer out loud with me, “Dear Lord, ALL signs point to your Soon Return.  You told us that we COULD KNOW WHEN YOUR RETURN WAS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS.  “ALL evidence is that the time has NOW come.  I ask you to examine my heart, my life, my thoughts, my words, my actions, and my motives.  Please give me a peace if I am, indeed, ready for the Rapture to take place.  If you give me that peace, help me not to lose that spiritual readiness in the few days that we have left.  With the help of your Holy Spirit, I resolve to stay as close to you as I possibly can, in the short time we have left.

     

    If I am not ready, may there be NO peace in my heart, but an uneasiness.  I ask you, Lord Jesus, to reveal to me why there is no peace.  Show me, Lord, where I am falling short.  Reveal to me why I MAY not be ready for the Rapture, which is SOON to happen.

     

    Then give me the desire to act upon that which you show me and the spiritual power to act upon it.  Reveal any sin in my life that I need to deal with.  When I am ready for the Rapture, please give me a peace about it.  Keep me close to you, oh Lord, in these very last days in which we are living, so that I can partake in this GREAT ESCAPE, THIS GREAT DELIVERANCE.  In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.”

     

    For those of you who have never become a born-again Christian and would like to escape from this Sudden Destruction, by way of the Rapture, when Jesus takes millions upon millions of Christians off the face of the earth to Heaven to escape the coming judgments in the VERY NEAR FUTURE, will you pray this prayer with me,

     

    “Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and I acknowledge my sins before you.  It is the sincere desire of my heart, to turn away from my sins and to turn towards you, Jesus.  I believe that you died on the cross for my sins.  Therefore, I repent, or turn away, from my sins, and I turn my life over to you.  I ask you to come into my heart and become my personal Lord and Saviour.  I ask you to prepare my heart for your Soon Return.  Thank you, Jesus.  In Jesus’name, I pray, Amen.”

     

    Now, you need to pray and read God’s Word (start in the New Testament) every day.  Find a good fundamental church, where you can worship the Lord, and have the support of other born-again believers.

     

    I leave you with my favorite verses, and what I believe are the MOST IMPORTANT VERSES FOUND IN THE WORD FOR THE DAY IN WHICH WE LIVE:

     

    In Luke 21: 34--36, Jesus is addressing THE CHRISTIANS, when He says, “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (partying), and drunkenness, and CARES OF THIS LIFE, AND SO THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES.  FOR AS A SNARE (TRAP) SHALL IT COME ON ALL THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH.  WATCH YE, therefore, and pray always, that YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (Jesus).”

     

    The snare, or trap, is the SUDDEN DESTRUCTION.  The Escape here is the Rapture, the GREAT DELIVERANCE, THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT IN GENESIS 45.  They are very, very likely to be simultaneous.  WHICH EVENT WILL YOU PARTAKE IN—THE RAPTURE OR THE SUDDEN DESTRUCTION???  May each of us give serious consideration to this question.  Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

                                       THE KEY TO THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE--

                                                  GENESIS 45--THE FAMINE WEEK

Should we not be searching the story of the 7-Year Famine Week of Joseph for clues and further time frames?  I have searched and there is ONLY ONE TIME FRAME, found in the entire story of Joseph’s Famine Week.  There is SOOOOOOO VERY MUCH TO TALK ABOUT IN GENESIS 45, so let’s read what this very prophetic chapter says:

 

“Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me.  And there stood no man with him, while JOSEPH MADE HIMSELF KNOWN UNTO THE BRETHREN.

 

And he wept aloud:  and the Egyptians and the house of Pharoah heard.  And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?  And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.  And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you.  AND THEY CAME NEAR.  And he said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold in Egypt.

 

Now, therefore, be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither:  for GOD DID SEND ME BEFORE YOU to preserve life.  FOR THESE TWO YEARS HATH THE FAMINE BEEN IN THE LAND:  AND YET THERE ARE FIVE YEARS, in the which, there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

 

And GOD SENT ME BEFORE YOU to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives BY A GREAT DELIVERANCE.  So now it was not you that SENT ME HITHER, BUT GOD, and He hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.  HASTE YE, AND GO UP TO MY FATHER…”   Verse 11 says, “And there will I nourish thee; for yet THERE ARE FIVE YEARS OF FAMINE;”

 

WOW!!!  It is very obvious that there is ONE DIVISION IN JOSEPH’S 7-YEAR FAMINE.  Study it all you want, but there is only ONE TIME FRAME MENTIONED AND ONLY ONE DIVISION.  The division is THE FIRST TWO YEARS AND THE LAST FIVE YEARS!!!

 

 

The Lord obviously must have placed this ONE DIVISION, AND ONE DIVISION ONLY, IN THE FAMINE WEEK OF JOSEPH, FOR A VERY IMPORTANT REASON.  This ONE DIVISION is highlighted by two things.  First, is JOSEPH MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN TO HIS BRETHREN (vs.1).  Secondly, is the GREAT DELIVERANCE (vs. 7).  Both of these things take place AFTER TWO YEARS OF THE 7-YEAR FAMINE WEEK, AND WITH FIVE YEARS OF THE FAMINE WEEK YET TO GO!!!

 

IT IS SO VERY OBVIOUS THAT THE LORD IS DESCRIBING THE RAPTURE HERE IN THIS CHAPTER!!!  GIVING US THE TIME FRAME OF THE RAPTURE IS BREATHTAKING, AWE-INSPIRING, AND  MAYBE BEYOND THE COMPREHENSION OF MANY OF US!!!  The Lord wants to leave NO DOUBT  as to the timing of this ONE DIVISION IN THE 7-YEAR FAMINE WEEK, because He even repeats what he says in verse 6, “FOR THESE TWO YEARS HATH THE FAMINE BEEN IN THE LAND:  AND YET THERE ARE FIVE YEARS…”  In verse 11, the Lord tells us again, FOR EMPHASIS, “FOR YET THERE ARE FIVE YEARS OF FAMINE.”

 

AT THE END OF TWO YEARS OF THE 7-YEAR FAMINE WEEK, AND WITH FIVE YEARS YET TO GO IN THE FAMINE WEEK, there comes THE ONLY DIVISION, THE ONLY TIME FRAME MENTIONED IN THE WORD OF GOD.  THIS ONE DIVISION IS JOSEPH (OR JESUS) MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN TO THE BRETHREN AND A GREAT DELIVERANCE BY JOSEPH (OR JESUS).

 

Does not Jesus MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN to us at the time of the Rapture???  Is the Rapture not OUR GREAT DELIVERANCE???  Therefore, is it not obvious that Jesus, OUR GREAT DELIVERER WILL MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN TO US AT THE TIME OF THE RAPTURE, WHICH WILL BE TWO YEARS INTO THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS, AND WITH 5 YEARS STILL TO GO IN THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS???!!

 

During the past year, and especially during the past couple of weeks, I have done my best to give all of you the abundance of evidence of the EXACT TIME FRAME OF THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS.  I know that it is harder for you to accept because you have not been give SEVEN SUPERNATURAL CONFIRMATIONS, THREE WITHIN 24 HOURS, THAT OBAMA IS THE ANTICHRIST, AND THAT THE FINAL 7 YEARS STARTED OCT. 29, 2008, AND WILL CLIMAX WITH THE RETURN OF CHRIST, EXACTLY 7 JEWISH YEARS LATER, ON FEAST OF ATONEMENT, SEPT. 23, 2015!  The abundance of evidence is so CONCLUSIVE, we should NOT need any more.

 

Two years into this time frame of the 70th Week of Daniel, which we can also call the Famine Week, TAKES US TO THE FALL OF 2010 FOR THE PROBABLE TIME OF THE RAPTURE!!!  At this point, that is as far as I want to take this time frame.  We will discuss more about that in future emails.  I still do not know if the Lord will give us the day and hour.  There are several very good options for the probable time of the Rapture in the Fall of 2010.  We will be looking at each of them in the near future.

 

We are not predicting the Rapture for the Fall of 2010.  We are just saying, based on Gen. 45, that it certainly appears likely.  If either the two years, or the five years, represents partial years, the Rapture/Sudden Destruction could be a few months before, or a few months after, the Fall of 2010.  If the Great Deliverance means something other than the Rapture, the Rapture still should take place, no later than April 11, 2012, which will be the starting date of the 42-month Great Tribulation.

 

In my next email, Part 2, I will be breaking down this same Chapter of Genesis 45.  After a careful Hebrew word-by-word study of this awesome, exciting chapter, I became convinced that this Chapter 45 is almost certainly REFERRING TO THE RAPTURE!!!   THAT SHOULD BE EXTREMELY EXCITING NEWS TO THOSE WHO ARE READY FOR THIS DAY THAT WE HAVE ALL BEEN ANXIOUSLY AWAITING FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!!

 

In another email in the near future, I will also be telling you why I believe this GREAT DELIVERANCE MAY BE TWOFOLD.  Most of you realize that I have been showing  from Scripture how the Rapture will be simultaneous with the Sudden Destruction.  This is a clue as to why I believe the GREAT DELIVERNCE of Genesis 45 may be twofold.

 

Because many people in all manner of spiritual conditions and spiritual readiness will be reading this, I feel compelled to address those who MAY not be ready for this SOON-COMING RAPTURE AND SUDDEN DESTRUCTION.  It is my conviction that the Sudden Destruction referred to, in I Thessalonians 5, is World War 3, with at least SOME nuclear destruction.  There will be NO second chance for millions upon millions of people.  YOU MAY BE ONE OF THEM!

 

You have been confronted here with what is VERY, VERY LIKELY THE TIME FRAME OF THIS SUDDEN DESTRUCTION, ACCOMPANIED BY THE GREAT ESCAPE, OR THE GREAT DELIVERANCE. It will come very unexpectedly to the vast majority of people in the world.  It will be like a trap.  Those who do not make the Rapture and survive the Sudden Destruction, will be faced with approximately 5 years of the most horrendous time mankind has ever faced.  You can read all about it in the Book of Revelation.

 

This WARNING MESSAGE is also to all Christians.  Be sure to read my post, “Are All Christians Going in the Rapture?”  ALL of us need to examine our hearts, as to our relationship with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  There are numerous warnings in the Bible to unwatchful, compromising, worldly, backslidden, and lukewarm Christians.  Are you SURE you are ready for the Rapture?

 

Will you, as a Christian, say this prayer out loud with me, “Dear Lord, ALL signs point to your Soon Return.  You told us that we COULD KNOW WHEN YOUR RETURN WAS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS.  “ALL evidence is that the time has NOW come.  I ask you to examine my heart, my life, my thoughts, my words, my actions, and my motives.  Please give me a peace if I am, indeed, ready for the Rapture to take place.  If you give me that peace, help me not to lose that spiritual readiness in the few days that we have left.  With the help of your Holy Spirit, I resolve to stay as close to you as I possibly can, in the short time we have left.

 

If I am not ready, may there be NO peace in my heart, but an uneasiness.  I ask you, Lord Jesus, to reveal to me why there is no peace.  Show me, Lord, where I am falling short.  Reveal to me why I MAY not be ready for the Rapture, which is SOON to happen.

 

Then give me the desire to act upon that which you show me and the spiritual power to act upon it.  Reveal any sin in my life that I need to deal with.  When I am ready for the Rapture, please give me a peace about it.  Keep me close to you, oh Lord, in these very last days in which we are living, so that I can partake in this GREAT ESCAPE, THIS GREAT DELIVERANCE.  In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.”

 

For those of you who have never become a born-again Christian and would like to escape from this Sudden Destruction, by way of the Rapture, when Jesus takes millions upon millions of Christians off the face of the earth to Heaven to escape the coming judgments in the VERY NEAR FUTURE, will you pray this prayer with me,

 

“Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and I acknowledge my sins before you.  It is the sincere desire of my heart, to turn away from my sins and to turn towards you, Jesus.  I believe that you died on the cross for my sins.  Therefore, I repent, or turn away, from my sins, and I turn my life over to you.  I ask you to come into my heart and become my personal Lord and Saviour.  I ask you to prepare my heart for your Soon Return.  Thank you, Jesus.  In Jesus’name, I pray, Amen.”

 

Now, you need to pray and read God’s Word (start in the New Testament) every day.  Find a good fundamental church, where you can worship the Lord, and have the support of other born-again believers.

 

I leave you with my favorite verses, and what I believe are the MOST IMPORTANT VERSES FOUND IN THE WORD FOR THE DAY IN WHICH WE LIVE:

 

In Luke 21: 34--36, Jesus is addressing THE CHRISTIANS, when He says, “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (partying), and drunkenness, and CARES OF THIS LIFE, AND SO THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES.  FOR AS A SNARE (TRAP) SHALL IT COME ON ALL THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH.  WATCH YE, therefore, and pray always, that YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (Jesus).”


The snare, or trap, is the SUDDEN DESTRUCTION.  The Escape here is the Rapture, the GREAT DELIVERANCE, THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT IN GENESIS 45.  They are very, very likely to be simultaneous.  WHICH EVENT WILL YOU PARTAKE IN—THE RAPTURE OR THE SUDDEN DESTRUCTION???  May each of us give serious consideration to this question.  Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
