"Keep Watching"


 
Last Nov. I posted a letter about why we may not know the day of the Rapture.

"Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know the day your Lord is coming.
"But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
"For this reason you be ready too; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
                                                                                                                Matt. 24: 42-44
 
I think it's more appropriate now than ever. I was very disappointed that not much seems to have happened this Spring. So many incredible confluences and dates. But my sense still is that Satan is a very powerful being and will try to disrupt the Rapture if he can. If we know the date, he certainly will too and he will be guarding his house closely. Unlike our Lord, though, Satan's power is finite as is that of his followers and I don't think they can maintain Red Alert status that long. It may be that Jesus has been using these dates to confound them and wear them out so that when He does come, they'll be unprepared.
 
So, be encouraged and watchful. This has been a pretty intense time for us and also for the Enemy. If we feel a little worn out, he must too. As the next major date forecasted is 7/7/07, maybe Satan is giving his troops some R & R the next couple of weeks!!
 
Come, Lord Jesus.
