Dear John and Doves,
 
December 7, 2004 will mark the 63 year anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack.  During that time in history our country was certainly preparing for the inevitability of war, as all the signs were present.  The Pacific fleet was mostly centered at Pearl Harbor.  In the early morning hours of Sunday, December 7, 1941, while most of the US sailors were PHYSICALLY SLEEPING, the empire of Japan staged a sudden and relentless attack on Pearl Harbor.  This action was a complete surprise, and plunged our nation into WWII.
 
We presently have many signs; false christs, division, war, famine, plague, pestilence, earthquakes, apostacy, violence, increase of knowledge, preaching of the Gospel throughout the world, and yet many do not see these signs as important or indicative of the end times.  They are ASLEEP SPIRITUALLY.  We know what the future will bring as described in God's Word.  We are clearly in the season of end times events.  Because we are watching the signs of the end of the age, we are alert, and not asleep.  We have oil in our lamps.
 
December 7, 2004 will be 63 years, or 9 sevens since the Pearl Harbor attack.  Seven more years will be 70 years.  70 is a significant number, in that the prophet Daniel speaks of 70 "sevens" being decreed for the Jews.  Will this be the year that the Church age ends and begins the last "seven"?
 
Praise the Lord our God!  Be it in His own time!
 
God's Blessings to all!
