"11 Days to Rapture"


 
11 Days to Rapture
 
Since I have declared that God will not let the sun shine for two or three days beginning at five o’clock on June 3rd I have been checking out everything I know that caused me to arrive at that declaration.  First there are two witnesses that have come to the conclusion that Pentecost is the time of the Rapture from two different directions.
 
As indicated from Brother Riley’s study that I sent yesterday he arrives at the time of Pentecost from a complete study of God’s word that considers feast days and up to and including the whole Bible.  I come to Pentecost because that was the beginning of the Church age and I incorporate it into the seven thousand year plan of God.  Of course there are many other reasons but these are the major directions of approach.  All in all the Holy Spirit of God leads us into these directions.  
 
Let me say that anyone who believes in the evolution of mankind cannot believe in the seven thousand year plan of God.  I believe that God created the world in six days (days as we know them to be right now) and rested on the seventh day.  I believe that God has appointed times within that seven thousand year period to guide mankind to the truth of His word and in His being.  I believe that God appointed exactly two thousand years for the Church age and that the beginning day was on the day of the first Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was given to the disciples and to the world.  
 
I believe God’s time is measured in 30 day months and 360-day years.  Therefore I believe that any accurate measurement of time has to conform to God’s time as given to us in His written word to us.  And therefore all dependence upon mankind’s time schedules are subject to error and primarily because Satan will deceive mankind at any point to guide him or her away from Salvation in Jesus.
 
Now here is the one thing that sets me apart from most people in the world today.  After His resurrection Jesus said, “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth” Math. 28:18  I believe these words of Jesus and no power on earth or the knowledge of mankind will get me to deny those words in any way. If The Father gave Jesus all His power and that is what Jesus said, that is His business and not mine.  My business is to believe Jesus because I also know that The Father is glorified in Jesus.  I can totally believe in Jesus and know assuredly that I belong to God.  
 
So when I make a declaration from God along with another brother witness from God it had better be taken seriously.
