OK, so we literally SPAN THE GLOBE!  Outstanding!  Now, what would God have US do with this network?
Obviously, it's a great support and sharing network for Believers watching in these end times...no doubt about that.
 
But I've been thinking.......and I'd like your opinions on this.......
 
IF...and I mean IF....there is a warning to the world JUST BEFORE the Rapture.....how could God use ALL of us within the geographic part of the world where we live, to gather with others to EXPLAIN what is about to happen.....and WHY....based on a Biblical explaination, verse by verse??
 
 
 I am begining to think that there COULD be a warning to the world.....along the lines of 2 Bible verses:
I Thessalonians 4:16 "and the dead in Christ shall rise FIRST.....then....we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them."  And, Matthew 27:52, "and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many."   So, what IF the dead in Christ DO RISE FIRST.....and walk amongst us for a certain amount of time, as the FINAL warning to the world just before the full Rapture of ALL the living/dead saints (the Church)?? HOw could WE all spring into action to share OUR insight?
 
For example...what has been on my mind of late is a "mental fantasy" that goes like this:
 
First fantasy:  Picture YOURSELF on Larry King Live. YOU have been chosen to be there because all of your friends know you have been watching for this event (some BIG prophetic event) for a while and everyone turned to you to explain, Biblically of course, what is happening. In other words, HOW DID YOU KNOW TO BE WATCHING?  What did the Bible tell YOU, that everyone else didn't see?  And what is going to happen next?
 
Second fantasy:  (Slightly more realistic of course....because there are MANY more knowledgable and high profile End Times Christians.....like the authors of Left Behind, etc. who will be on Larry King.....) But, I know ALOT of my friends will call ME FIRST, if there is a BIG warning.   My thinking, is that "I had better be prepared with some type of Biblically-based, articulate way to make my case as to what is going on." A verse-by-verse Rapture explaination.  (ie, Matthew 24; Matthew 27:52;  I Thessolonians 4:16....and ALL the others...... How would YOU make YOUR case verse by verse?)
 
Then...it crossed my mind......ALL OF THE DOVES will face the same need, all across this geographic area where we live around the world.....and, thus
 
How can WE collaborate to prepare "our case?"
 
Maybe......just maybe.....THAT'S WHY THIS FORUM EXISTS !  ?
 
Please let me know what you think...and what YOU would do if a warning is given.

PS.....My son and I were talking today, and he asked me what would I do, if a world-wide warning was given?
Good question.  I told him, first, I just might go play golf for the day.....(hey, I'd know what's going on and this doesn't worry ME!)  ......but.....as calls came in from ALL MY friends asking about the BIG news, my response would be:  Come on over to our house tonight at 6pm.  Alot of people are going to all be there, and I'd be happy to tell you "exactly" what I think is happening.  It's IMPORTANT......be sure to be there!
 
And, that's when I decided to raise this subject here on Five Doves.
 
PPS......Now, if there are MANY "dead in Christ" walking amongst us..... sharing OUR insight may not be too important!!
Thus, I might just go play golf......ha ha.
