Gerry,

Please let me ask you a question, “What if the Great Tribulation does not start on 04/11/12?” What would that mean? Would that mean that despite the signs and the moons, that the LORD Jesus is probably not coming back on the LORD’s feast day in 2015? Would it also mean that Obama is probably not the antichrist? What would that say about all the signs that we have been looking at thus far? If, hypothetically, that date, 11th - 12th, passes, and the Great Tribulation has not started, do we simply say, “Oh well, we were wrong about that”? What about those of us who may be weaker than the others, and come April 13th, we find that our faith has been shaken, our hopes for the soon-catching-away dashed before our eyes, and depression has set in? What if Doc says, “Don’t let that shake your faith – take two scriptures and call me in the morning”, yet somehow that is not enough to prevent it from happening? There were those in Paul’s day that had their faith overthrown because of their misunderstanding of end-time events (II Timothy 2:18) - will that happen to us who may be weaker than the others?

What if the Great Tribulation does not start on 04/11/12? Will some of us turn away our ears, and no longer pay attention to preachers, evangelists, teachers, and watchers? What if the Great Tribulation does not start on 04/11/12 - where should we go for the truth after that? Where will we go for guidance? Did not the Ethiopian eunuch say, “How can I, except some man should guide me?” There are those of us who may be weaker than the others, and if 4/11/12 passes uneventfully, that will be far more than a simple “ring-toss” for us, since we will not be able to walk away and dismiss it all, saying, “Too bad, missed it”.

So, if the Great Tribulation does not start on 04/11/12, then what should we do?
