Hi Jim,
This guy is certainly interesting, and he has a ton of material. I would
love it if his date for the start of the trib is correct if it means we are out
of here because it is just days away. However, he claims that there is no
rapture! Shows what he knows! Here is a direct quote from one of his many
writings:
---------------------------------------------------
A worldwide apocalypse will start on
December 21, 2008.
New York
City may be destroyed on
February 9, 2009.
[15 Sh'vat 5769]
-excerpt-
Most people know that the Bible predicts seven years of great difficulty
lie ahead for the entire world. Now I can give you a probable date for when it
will start. Forget about all those fantasy stories about Christians being
raptured away. It is not going to happen that way, and those
waiting around for that false hope will be toast!
---------------------------------------------------
While I can respect him for his insights and abilities to write all this, I
will never allow him or anyone else to talk me out of my blessed hope! Jesus
Himself promises us this escape and also strongly commands us as Philadelphia
Church members, (verse 11):
Revelation 3:10-11 10
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also
will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world,
to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou
hast, that no man take thy crown.
This suggests to me that
we can expect men to try to take our crown. We are to be on guard against such
attempts. Paul said that this crown is for those who look for Him and love His
appearing. Do not allow this man or anyone else to take your crown which is your
confidence in what Jesus has promised for He is faithful who promised. I will
not be TOAST! Let this man perish with his wisdom before I will give up my
crown! Those are fighting words!
