This is the main reason for my
delay in responding about Jan. 28th. My missionary
daughter has not been to the United States for about 3
and one-half years. It was extremely important to
me to be able to spend some quality time with
her. Thank you for understanding, that because of
all of this, I have had very little time to respond to
emails, let alone post anything.
During the past few days, I have
also been waiting on the Lord, as to just how to
respond. I am a very deliberate person, and was
not impressed to write a quick response, until I had
heard from the Lord. I am trusting that this email
is not just my thoughts, but are thoughts and words that
the Lord is helping me with.
As most of you know, I have been
very strong in my belief that the Final 7 Years timeline
has been given to us by the Lord. I have said that
the dates of Oct. 29, 2008, as the starting point, Apr.
11, 2012, as the mid-point, and Day of Atonement, Sept.
23, 2015, are etched in stone. They are God's
dates, not my dates. The evidence for all three
dates is compelling, overwhelming, conclusive, and
irrefutable. Those are very strong words. A
failed Rapture speculation date has not changed any of
that. This amazing evidence can be viewed on
my website at:
If we are still here past Apr.
11th of this year, and if Obama has not started his
1260-day reign as the Biblical Antichrist, then my days
as a watchman will be over. Because Apr. 11th is
rapidly approaching, and because there still seems
to HAVE to be a Sudden Destruction event of
tremendous magnitude, to bring on the one-world
government, and several weeks to set up and organize
this one-world government, the Sudden
Destruction/Rapture MUST be extremely close.
The date of Jan. 28th was not some
random date picked out of the air. I will not take
the time to review all of the things that seemed to be
pointing to this date. But, in my opinion, the
supposed evidence was so strong and seemed to be so
overwhelming, that I became convinced that Jan. 28th was
THE DAY. It seemed to be THE PERFECT DAY.
Obviously, on hindsight, it was not the perfect day,
because it was not God's day. Because it seemed,
from my Biblical watchman's perspective, to be the
perfect day, I do not regret proclaiming Jan. 28th
as a High Rapture Alert Day. In my opinion, it
definitely was that.
As a Biblical watchman, when
enough signs seem to be pointing to a particular day, or
time frame, I am compelled to blow the trumpet, and
sound the alarm. To not do this, and have this be
the Day of Sudden Destruction, when hundreds of millions
of souls will be ushered into eternity, would be a
disaster to a true watchman, and have untold negative
consequences for all of eternity. Simply put, the
risk is much too high, to NOT blow the trumpet, when
several signs seem to be pointing to a particular time,
like that of Jan. 28th. Please read Ezekiel 33 to
see what the responsibility, and the heart, of a true
Biblical watchman is.
For the first time in my life, I
was ALL IN for a date. Yes, I was as convinced of
Jan. 28th, as I possibly could be, without being quite
100%. The miniscule chance of it not being on Jan.
28th, was not enough for me to risk going ALL IN.
I deeply regret using such strong language saying this
was THE DAY. I apologize, not for issuing Jan.
28th as a High Rapture Alert Day, which I believe it
was, but for using such strong language to declare that
Jan. 28th was the true date of the Rapture and Sudden
Destruction. I apologize, as I was in error, and
have to accept much of the criticism which has come my
way.
I truly believed that my day as a
Biblical watchman would be over on Jan. 28th, one way or
another. I believed that, by going ALL IN for a
particular date, the Lord would not want to use me
anymore. But I was wrong. Those of you, who
do not want to hear from me anymore, will have to wait
until Apr. 11th of this year. On Jan. 29th, I was
singing songs to the Lord in the shower, instead of
being disappointed, or despondent. The Lord made
His presence so very real to me that entire day, as I
began to seek Him for answers.
Before I reveal some of what I
believe the Lord is showing to me about the near future,
I just want to thank all of you, who have stood by me,
and supported me, during thise past few days. Many
of you, have simply amazed me with your heartfelt
support. Your support, as well as the continued
encouragement and peace and joy coming from the Lord,
has convinced me that I MUST press on, from now until
Apr. 11th, if need be. After that, it will be over
for me, one way or another.
A special "thank you" goes to Jim
Bramlett. Jim has not taken a public stance on the
7-Year timeline, that I am totally convinced is God's
timeline. However, we both received the
same letters from an individual, who was totally
ripping me apart, and ripping 5 Doves apart. This
person did not believe any of the New World Order signs,
that I believe they are putting out for all to see,
and ridiculed my efforts in pointing out these
signs. Jim sent him strong responses, rebuking
him, and defending me, and thanking me, for continuing
to seek God's timeline and even the time of the
Rapture.
He pointed out to this person,
that we are not date-setters, but we are seeking to
become date-discoverers. God has set the dates,
and He continues to give multiple signs to us.
Many of us, like Jim Bramlet and I, continue to believe,
that with enough study and prayer, that the Lord will
reveal, to those who diligently seek Him, his timing of
events, even possibly the Day of the Rapture.
Thank you, brother Jim. You are a true and loyal
friend, and a staunch defender of all Biblical watchmen
everywhere.
I trust that many of you have been
able to discern the true intent of my posts, which is to
strongly encourage EVERYONE, to prepare your hearts for
the Rapture, or be prepared to face Sudden
Destruction. Many of you believe that because you
are a born-again believer in Christ, then that
automatically makes you ready to be a part of the Bride
of Christ, and the Rapture. It is simply not a
Biblical doctrine, and has NO support from the
Word. Far too many Scriptures lead to a different
conclusion.
Yes, this email is an apology for
going ALL IN for Jan. 28th. Obviously, I never
thought I would have to issue this apology, because I
truly believed that this was the date that the Lord was
leading us to. But there are some people whom I do
not feel I owe an apology to.
Do I owe an apology to those
backslidden Christians, who wrote to me personal
emails, thanking me for the warning messages of
Jan. 28th, who got themselves spiritually ready for the
Rapture?
Do I owe an apology to those
watchers and strong Christians who have thanked me for
issuing this High Rapture Alert, and who have
secured an even deeper walk with the Lord, and an
even closer relationship to Him?
We must remember that the Word
teaches us that the Blessed Hope is the purifying force,
in the life of the believer. In other
words, the closer you believe your
Lord's Return is for you, the more you will
get your act together spiritually, as opposed to
thinking that the Lord is coming back someday in the
future, but you just don't have any idea when, and
do not really want to know. I KNOW that many of
you agree, in your heart, with that statement. I
can personally testify, that the closer I believe our
Blessed Hope is, the more my life gets
purified. Believing our Lord's Coming is AT
THE DOOR is extremely important in the spiritual lives
of most Christians.
Do I owe an apology to those who
use cuss words in condemning me and the message of the
extreme nearness of the Rapture/Sudden Destruction?
Do I owe an apology to those who
do not believe in a Rapture, so who continue to believe
that any mention of a Rapture, at any time, is
misleading people? My strong belief that the
Rapture will precede the horrendous Sudden Destruction
will continue, until proven otherwise, because I believe
it is Scriptural.
Do I owe an apology to those who
are very mean-spirited in their replies to my emails,
and High Rapture Alert days? Their
un-Christianlike responses just proves that they are not
really listening to the real message that I am sending
out. That message is to "Repent, and draw closer
to the Lord", the same message that the first 3 Chapters
of Revelation very strongly give, to all backslidden,
unwatchful, compromising, worldly, and lukewarm
Christians everywhere. It is one thing to rebuke
in love, but when one rebukes in an un-Christianlike
manner, it is an obvious indication of where
their heart really is.
In my next post, I
will attempt to show you why I believe the Lord
is showing me that I am on the right path, in
trying to discern the timing of the Rapture/Sudden
Destruction. The title of today's message is,
"Jan. 28th--What happened???" Most of you believe
that nothing significant happened. I will attempt
to show you that Jan. 28th was NOT an insignificant
date. I BELIEVE THAT
JAN. 28TH WAS OUR 5TH WARNING SIGN, OR CLUE, LEADING US
TO ONE (OR TWO) FINAL EVENTS, INCLUDING THE
RAPTURE AND SUDDEN DESTRUCTION.
But I assure you, that I am not
going ALL IN for another date. As the Scriptures
admonish ALL Christians to do, let us continue to be
DILIGENT Biblical watchmen. Our Lord is Coming
back for us, and I remain totally convinced that He is
Coming for the Bride of Christ, in just a matter of
days, or a few weeks.
Ist John 2:28 says, "And now,
little children, ABIDE IN HIM; that, when He shall
appear, we may have confidence, and NOT BE ASHAMED
BEFORE HIM AT HIS COMING."
Revelation 3:3 says, "Remember,
therefore, how thou hast received and heard, and HOLD
FAST, AND REPENT. If, therefore, thou shalt not
watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shall
not KNOW what hour I will come upon thee." Does
this not strongly imply, that if we DO watch, we WILL
KNOW THE TIME?
Maranatha!
