Greetings, John!
 
Dear Doves,
 
I feel moved to issue a word of caution about setting one's heart upon roadmaps, timelines and prerequisites for the Rapture of the Church contained in writings outside of the Holy Scriptures.
 
Around 30 AD the most thoroughly educated men of the Hebrew religion, because of the "roadmaps" and "prerequisites" laid down in the commentaries that they studied, failed to recognize their long-awaited and anticipated Messiah as he ministered among them. He didn't fit the pattern they had already figured out.
 
Prayerfully read your Bibles, sisters and brothers! They are the ONLY SOLID BASE of spiritual knowledge that we Christians have in this present evil age.
 
It's good to daily seek the Lord as best one can, and watch and wait in anticipation for the Lord's soon return, but speculation, I feel, is uproductive at best, and who knows how bad at worst.
 
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Matt in Hayward, CA
