"Re : John Madison & Rosh HaShana 2006"


 Hi John, i am just a simple rapture watcher, been one since 1988 when a little booklet came out that summer called " 88 reasons for the Rapture in 1988 " . Well 18 years later we know it didn't happen in 1988, nor in any of the other rapture date possibilities since that summer. Will our rapture flight happen this Feast of Trumpets in September - we will know in just 57 days from now. I think we have a strong possibility that it could happen this fall - especially given the military conflict currently  going on between Israel and the Arabs. If this conflict grows to include Iran or Syria, i would say our rapture chances will have increased
 
 i look to the Fall Hebrew Festival of Rosh HaShana due to the nature of what this Hebrew Feast Day represents. So sure i can say that our rapture flight stands a great chance of happening this coming September 2006. But if you read my letters back in the Spring of this year, i was also excited about the possibility of our rapture flight happening over Easter, and then Pentecost
 
 Do you see where i am going with this, rapture watching is not an exact science. And as John Tng just noted, we could still be years away from Jesus returning. As of today no one has yet gotten the date of the rapture right. And when someone does finally get it right - we won't be debating it any longer on 5-doves, we will be celebrating it in heaven
 
 yes i am getting excited that the possibility of our rapture flight this Fall does look good. John, you sound alot like me, a street witnessing evangelist. i get out daily passing out salvation tracts, about 2,000 a week. I would encourage you to keep it up - do street evangelism as much as you can. I have a job and don't plan on quiting it, i just go out witnessing everyday as soon as i get off of work. The strong possibility of our rapture happening this fall does push me to do evangelism witnessing everyday. Right after the rapture happens, we all will have an appointment with Jesus Christ at the Judgement Seat of Christ. We will be held accountable for what we did with our lives and how we served Jesus. I want to be able to look at Jesus at the Bema and say i did all i could to help win the lost to Him
 
 so my friends, let us keep serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with all our Hearts, and yes just maybe this September we will finally get to see Him right after He brings us up into Heaven !!!
