I wrote The Final Fulfillment of
Pentecost in January of
2009 as a "brief" exegesis of Peter's sermon
on Pentecost, intending to explain — briefly — why the upcoming Pentecost seemed
to me to be the most likely time for the Rapture. After I published it on my
site, I did a web search to see if anyone had reached similar conclusions. I
found a lot of confirmation, and that is also how I wound up on the Five Doves
Forum. Since then -- for the past 122 days (and I've been counting) -- feeding
Doves (and lurkers) and being fed by them has become a part-time "ministry" and
much of the information you Doves have either provided or pointed to has been
linked to my original article.
That made it bigger. A LOT bigger. In addition, I
have expanded some areas for clarification and completeness.
The "apology" is that it now takes much longer to review the article, so if you send the link to your friends you are asking them to make a much more significant time commitment. This is regrettable, but it's unavoidable.

I think it's worth it, however. If someone wants
to get a clear idea, from both scripture and current events, of "the hope that
is in you" concerning the likelihood of the rapture, I believe Final
Fulfillment is as good a resource as any.
I may never know how many people were changed or
encouraged by my efforts (which were buttressed by yours), but I daresay my
efforts pale in comparison to the work John Tng has done over the YEARS to
maintain the Five Doves site.
But at the end of the day this isn't about us:
it's about Jesus Christ Who, for the joy that was set before Him, endured the
cross. We are His joy; the righteousness of God in Christ. Let's persevere in
Christ so that, whether my conclusions in Final
Fulfillment are right or wrong, His joy may be full!
Best,
Steve
P.S. If you visit the page (it's updated daily),
please don't overlook "More Good Stuff" at the end. I sincerely hope to see you
all next week, at which time I expect that updates will cease. I am currently
getting about 130 page-views per day, and though I have not "set out a fleece"
or anything, I would perceive a dramatic increase in that number as another
indication of an imminent rapture. "Dramatic" would be 1,000 daily page-views
or more. The Lord takes care of my SEO, so let's see what happens.
