"To Amanda"
Dear Amanda,
I have read your letters about
hearing from the Lord and the rapture in 2011. I had always
hoped for last year but I was keeping your letters in the back of my
mind. I try never to discount anything people say and
keep it sort as a "file."
Anyways I am a financial
analyst and create enormous spreadsheets that sometimes have 60
spreadsheets linked together with and have massive formulas and some of
the spreadsheets can have like 100 tabs. So when ever I
find out a piece of information from anyone such as the AP Manager, the
AR Manager, the Inventory Control clerk, etc. I make a
note! I keep logs of notes and type them up and every week
I make a copy and do what I call Best Case and Worst Case Scenarios on
a rolling forecast. You know the forecast is ALWAYS
changing every month due to advanced knowledge in the market we did not
have wind of before. You know one vendor increases their
price, a machine is out of commission in production, employees working
overtime due to a customer demand, etc. This is the way I
view the Rapture/Tribulation timeline. And your posts I was
definitely watching and using in my "forecast." It is
funny but I view the financial forecast of a company the same as the
rapture/tribulation timeline. Each operations manager has a
different view of where to spend money, save and which customer or sale
is going to be the revenue maker. The same is with
prophecy.. I have seen many very good timelines and I think
it is wise that we put each of these into an Excel spreadsheet in a
timeline format with a tab. Then as we get new information
in relation to Israel, etc. we can update the
timelines. Could you imagine if someone put all the
timelines together we all were working on with the explanations and in
the tribulation it got to Israel and the Rabbi's there?
What a PROFOUND statement that would make on them because the internet
may go down and we need to have this all documented on electronic
files. Having one timeline in a Word Doc based on only one
calendar such as the Gregorian or the Rabbinical is not good
enough. They would just toss it.
A company that
goes with one forecast is foolish because they do not see every angle
and usually are disappointed they came into a loss for not exploring
all options. I see our timeline as an exploration of
options. The template is the Profit and Loss and Balance
Sheets for a company. Our template is the timeline of
Israel.
