Dear friends:

Sometimes my intense interest in the return of Christ for the past many years makes me question my own sanity, wondering if I was dealt a full deck at my birth, and if I have all my marbles.  It would be so easy to be indifferent, apathetic, and disinterested like so many others, even (or especially) "church goers."

But I simply cannot.  I am what I am.  And the question is quickly resolved when I fall back on God's Word and take a fresh look at the many prophetic signs.  It also helps when astute men of God and Bible scholars, such as Pastor John Hagee, give us messages such as the below, excerpted from a recent letter.  May his words sober us anew to the reality and urgency of the unusual times in which we live.

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.... For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ....Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are
doing " (1 Thessalonians 5:6, 9, 11, NIV)

Be blessed,

Jim

From Pastor John Hagee, October 17, 2005 (emphasis supplied).

I personally feel the eye of God is more on Israel right now than all of the nations combined.  I feel the battle of Ezekiel 38-39 is just around the corner.  I believe the year 2006 is going to be an historic year of international crisis created by war and terror.

I have never in my life been so aware of the coming of the Lord!  I truly live every day with the expectation today could be the day Christ comes for his church.  There is absolutely no bible reason Jesus Christ does not return to earth before you finish reading this document.

Prophetically we are out of time!  The clock is not approaching the final minute...the last seconds are clicking off as the prophetic puzzle is in perfect position for every detail of the end times to be fulfilled in a matter of days.

In January, I will release my latest book that I feel will be my last prophetic book ever.  This book will take your breath.  I have sent the final manuscript to the publisher and even they are in awe.  I seriously doubt I will ever write another prophetic book.

If you have friends or family without Christ do your utmost to bring them into the kingdom quickly.  The trump of God is about to sound and the dead in Christ are going to rise first and we which are alive and remain shall be caught up in the air in a twinkling of an eye and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  We are that close to seeing Jesus Christ face to face.
