"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
!!!
