Dear Carl,
I can identify with your article on several points.  I too had an powerful experience in April, on 4-14-04 which left me crying, although not fearful, it was life-changing.  Since then I had a dream, (I seem to rarely dream), that I am still interpreting to this day.  It has to do with a very sudden occurence while I was driving my vehicle.  The last part I definitely identify with is an extraordinary feeling of peace and joy that I currently have.  For me it is because I can see so many things in this world being revealed exactly the way the Word of God describes it will come down.  This leads me to pray, almost constantly for the repentance of the lost, and protection of God's people until He comes for us.
 
Thanky you for your post.
 
God's Blessings to you
