Dear friends:

Today a friend shared with me a stunning rapture testimony.  He wants to remain anonymous so as not to jeopardize his wife's job and he asked me to pass it on.  My friend is a highly respected professional person and very reliable.

He has a brother who is handicapped, with near blindness and with poor coordination due to premature birth, but the brother is a very spiritual person who has a very close walk with the Lord.  It is just like the Lord's character to draw especially near to such a one.  I have known about this brother for a long time and have always respected his ability to hear from the Lord.

The handicapped brother was witnessing to my friend's wife about the rapture.  He pointed out to her something someone had said pointing to a soon return of the Lord.  My friend described his wife as very "preoccupied with this world," a nominal believer, and a nonbeliever when it comes to any rapture, so she sloughed it off.
 
The handicapped brother reports that the Lord said to him, "Well, she has received her last warning.  There will be no more.  She will go through the Tribulation and survive but will be very bitter about her experience of being left behind."
 
Before this, the handicapped brother had a vivid dream about the wife in which she was overseas on one of her flights in her job as an air ambulance transport nurse, this time somewhere in Europe. (She goes overseas and picks up patients who have hired her through a company to take them back to the United States).  On that particular trip, someone in Europe told her that there was mass confusion and consternation in the U.S. about millions of people suddenly disappearing.   No one knew what to think.
 
After all this, the handicapped brother prayed to the Lord and asked if the Lord could give him an idea as to when the rapture would occur. 

He said the Lord replied, "I won't tell you the day or the hour, but recall and consider your dream about (the wife's) trip to Europe.  Her next trip." (Emphasis supplied.)
 
My friend thought this word the brother received had no way of ever happening because the wife had taken a job at a hospital full time, and there would be no "next trip." 

But now all of a sudden my friend's wife informs him that because she misses her part-time flight job, as a moonlighting job she's off to Europe on a weekend flight to pick up a patient.

She is scheduled to leave for Europe THIS FRIDAY, June 13, 2008!  (This would be that "next trip.")

(If this does not stir you, please have your vital signs checked immediately.)

P.S.
I asked my "anonymous" friend a question about the rapture testimony:

"How long do her trips usually last?  This would give us a window of time.  Is it a quick turn-around or does she have some ground and preparation time at her destination?" 

He replied:

"The trips are sort of tough in that she has one day for each direction of flight, and 2 days at source of patient.  That makes 4 or 5 days"

Me again.  That makes June 13 plus 4-5 days, or June 13-17. 

Amazingly, that window of time falls exactly where the studies of several others have placed the probable rapture this year.

Some are already eager to throw stones if the rapture does not happen on June 13.  That is foolish.  Hold your fire and save your ammunition until June 18-19.  Then all you doubting experts can gang up on that poor handicapped brother and let him have it, let it blast, call him names, throw your stones, or whatever!  That is, if your conscience will allow!  I hope it will not.
