I believe the evidence for the Bridegroom's coming for His Bride points to March 29 or April 28 this year.Here is why, shown in this graphical presentation.

This is great news for some and not so great for others. The following is excerpted from The BrideTheft: (http://theopenscroll.com/beyond_veil/appendices/bridetheft.htm)I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27 No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 10:1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. 2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. 5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert. 6 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.1 Corinthians 9:23-10:6
There certainly are gifts in the life of a saint, and there is also a prize offered at its end. A prize is different from a gift because it must be won, which means it must be earned according to performance in a competition. The distinction is made in the passage above between the corporate body of runners and one who runs in such a way as to get the one prize given to the winner. The emphasis is upon how the race is run. A crucial and extremely relevant point is driven home as the comparison is made with Israel's exodus from Egypt and their wandering in the wilderness. Consider how all the runners in the race are compared to all the Israelites. The runners who don't train diligently compare to the Israelites who set their hearts on evil things. These runners, who are disqualified for the prize, compare to those Israelites who had their bodies scattered across the desert. Did you get that? These points of comparison should be well noted. As were all the Israelites so are all the runners. As were most of the Israelites, so will be most of the runners! Even though it will be such that all the runners ( including you and I ) "drank from the spiritual rock which is Christ," most of their bodies will be "scattered over the desert" landscape of the world under great tribulation - left behind after the Bride is removed. That's right - MOST! That's not a comforting thought for complacent and casual Christians. But, on the other hand, the runners who so run as to get the prize compare to Joshua, Caleb and those Israelites who had been under the age of accountability, the remnant who crossed over into the promised land. Might this knowledge keep you from setting your hearts on evil things? I pray that it will, my friends.
