"Ted Porter"
Thank you Ted Porter for that timely and
well thought out and written piece on why we cannot pin down a date for
the rapture. What I love about this sight is that it is like a
slow-motion debate or gathering of opinions and contributions and
everyone gets to say what they think and we all can benefit by the
insights that are shared. But now and then we need one like Ted to
stand up and say, "Hey! Maybe we just don't know, alright? But if not
now, then there's still the Fall and we know that with each day that
passes we are one day closer..." Who knows whether there
will be a special prize for the one who pins the tail closest to the
donkey's behind, if you know what I mean.... I think that God is
pleased that we are this interested but maybe we just will find out
when He wants to reveal it and then we'll know that we know, kind of
like Elijah. I don't know that he studied dates and prophecy but God
told him. I would love for it to be any day now, as I have, like most
of you been watching and waiting for a long time. However I will not be
shaken if nothing happens through this Summer and we enter into Fall.
The Bridegroom tarried, means He didn't show up when they were
expecting Him to but still showed up in His time and they were able to
go in that kept watching and didn't give up. I can do that, no matter
how long it takes. I love watching with you all.
