Dear John,
     Due to serious illness on the part of both my wife and I over the
past two months, I haven't been online for several weeks.  I just tuned
into today and caught some of the discussion.  Some of it is so
interesting I just have to comment.  I sent you a brief article just a
few minutes ago, but feel the need to send another one as clarification
for what is being discussed.

    A careful study of the deliverance of Israel from the land of Egypt
and subsequent events will reveal the following scenario.

                        Israel left Egypt 2513 years after the creation
of Adam.  This can be verified by studying the chronology given in
Genesis and following books.

                        A careful study of the Scriptures reveals that it
took Israel two years to reach Mt. Sinai. Study it out for yourself.

                        At Mt. Sinai Israel rebelled against the will of
God to go up and take the land.   God punished them by leaving them to
wander in the wilderness for
                        another 38 years (a total of 40 years).

                        These are Scriptural facts that can easily be
documented by anyone that will seriously study the Word.

                        Therefore at the end of the 38 years of
punishment Israel crossed the Jordan under the leadership of Joshua and
entered the promised land.   They
                        then engaged in a seven year war (clearly a type
of the seven year Tribulation).

                        Now let's make a prophetic application.

                        One of the Doves writing today referred to the
healing of the impotent man that had laid idly by the pool for
thirty-eight years, John 5:1-15.  Then they
                        attempted to make some prophetic sense out of it.
 May I help?

                        This is 2005!  Thirty-eight years ago (1967)
Almighty God delivered the Temple Mount into the hands of the Jews during
the Six Day War.  Instead of
                        immediately seizing the opportunity, rebuilding
their Temple, and claiming their promised Kingdom, the Jews (through
their blind leaders) rebelled
                        against the will of God plainly stated in His
prophetic Word, and literally gave the Temple Mount over into the hands
of their enemies.  God have mercy!
                        They have had to pay dearly for the past 38 years
for that act of rebellion, just as their ancient forefathers had to pay
for their rebellion.

                        But praise God!  At the end of the 38 years
ancient Israel crossed the Jordan and entered upon their Kingdom
promises.  They still had to fight a
                        seven year war to subdue their enemies, but they
were on their way.  Folks, can't you see that this plainly points to
Israel entering their Kingdom
                        promises this year, 2005, where they will still
have to fight a seven year war to subdue their enemies.  This year is 38
years since Israel had and
                        relinguished the Temple Mount, and the seven year
Tribulation is at the door.  It will begin this Spring.

                        Glory!   But there is another point whether some
like it or not.  Since this year is the 38th year and the Tribulation is
at the door.....so is the rapture
                        of God's people.  Glory!  Look at all the signs
of the Trib that are occurring right now.  Read Luke 21:26-28 and believe
it.  Our Lord is coming to
                        rescue His Bride (those saved during this present
dispensation) this very year, Luke 21:36.  When God's people saved during
this present
                        dispensation are removed, then the whole plan of
God will revert back to Israel to bring it all to a swift seven year
conclusion.  Glory!  Isn't the
                        Word of the Lord sweet?

                        God bless you dear brother.  Thanks for providing
a way to get the truth out, even if some don't want it.  Praise the Lord!
