Susan and beloved brother/sister Doves,In reference to Christ's birthday of Sept. 11, I refer you to the link below. Fascinating information! Sept 11 3BC was Rosha shanah (Feast of Trumpets) which also to the Jews the FOT was the birthday of the creation of the world and IMHCO I tend to think it will be when we are raptured!! I also tend to think it has a good possibility of being THIS year. (Oct 3-4). If anyone wishes more info of why I believe this let me know and I will send you various links. Another support to this is the 14000 day theory that is also on the net and in certain circles.
I also want to mention something else and I do not mean to offend anyone but I believe that the LORD wants this expressed, especially on this site. I am a date setter as much as anyone of ya'll (TX!) and believe in the very soon return of our LORD for his BRIDE, (not body). The BRIDE being those that are without spot or blemish or if a spots or blemish come it is washed away by the forgiving power of the BLOOD of the LAMB and stays for no major length of time, as that is to the bride a cause to be out of fellowship with her lover, and groom and simply cannot be tolerated because of her adoration for HIM.
I wish however to emphasize that we Doves sometimes can inadvertently place our beloved rapture dates and enthusiasms in front of our most beloved LORD. We always must maintain the focus on the MOST HIGH ONE being sent and not just WHEN He is sent. I LOVE this site and all the opinions and great information that comes to us but we must always keep focus on the PERSON of our LORD for he is our TRUE reward. We, even myself sometimes can get inadvertently and innocently caught up with the moment rather than with the ONE and ONLY I AM. For that I truly ask forgiveness and vow repentance because never do I wish ANYTHING to be in front my love for HIM.
I also know when we "leave" we leave behind millions who do not know of the gift we have been given mercifully and undeservedly. May we never forget before we leave what they will be going through and pray more fervently while we have the time that many more will come into the fold that much more quickly. I can imagine what it would have been like for Finney, or the other great evangelists, if the LORD would have told him I am coming tomorrow. They would probably have gotten down on his knees, rent their clothes and BEGGED AND PLEADED WITH GOD for MORE time to save the lost. Have we in our love to be with HIM lost the proper perspective FOR the lost? What if it was us???
