Today (Oct. 2nd) I spoke to a friend of mine who is a pastor just south of Lexington, Kentucky.  Early this past Sunday morning (Sept. 30th) a woman in his church called him, and was crying on the phone.  Once he got her calmed down, he found that the tears were not tears of sorrow, but rather tears of extreme joy!  Very early Sunday morning she had a dream.
 
Before I relate the dream, here is a little about the woman.  She is 65, a very strong Christian, and she knows virtually nothing about the prophetic scripture.
 
In the dream she saw Jesus in a brilliant white gown, with gold light radiating around Him.  She also saw her mother, who died some years ago, and was a Christian.  Jesus told her in the dream that the time for the Rapture is NOW, and that she is going to be coming home (meaning to heaven).  She asked Jesus about her brothers and sisters (who do not know Him), and He informed her that they would not be coming in the Rapture.  She then woke up.
 
My pastor friend told me that all this past Sunday she was crying and sobbing tears of joy.  She said that the experience was much more powerful than just a regular dream.
 
If you have checked the calendar lately, you know that we are now in October of 2007.  Next month is absolutely huge on the 19th to 21st century timeline!  Precisely 30 years from the Balfour Declaration in Nov. of 1917 to the UN Mandate for Palestine in Nov. of 1947.  And then precisely 30 years again to the beginning of the Middle East peace process in Nov. of 1977 when Sadat flew to Jerusalem and addressed the Israeli Knesset.  Now the next 30 year period is about to end this November.
 
The Middle East peace players (Israel, Palestinians, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the U.S, the E.U. (and Mr. Tony Blair), the Pope, and a number of other Arab states) are all working feverishly right now for the coming November Middle East peace conference.  In September the Israelis handed the Palestinians a proposal for a Palestinian state, final borders, and even the final status of Jerusalem.  In short, everyone wants a final, comprehensive Middle East peace agreement--we Christians know this to be the coming Daniel 9:27 covenant, beginning a seven year countdown to the Second Coming of Christ.
 
Please note that in the woman's dream Jesus did not say "soon" or "very soon", He said NOW!
If this November is to be the time of the Daniel 9:27 covenant (beginning the 7 year Tribulation Period)--and only Jesus knows if this is the case, then the Rapture must happen to allow the antichrist to come forward and make this covenant.
 
Awhile back I related a powerful dream that my wife had, that she had gone "HOME" to a beautiful "estate of some kind", and that all the trees were ablaze in FALL COLOR!
 
If anyone should read what I have just written, and you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I would suggest that you accept Him into your life now and do not wait!  By the way, religion is a very poor substitute for a true personal relationship with Christ!  Many people are content in being a Methodist, or a Lutheran, or a Catholic, and will miss the Rapture!  If you have never really read the Bible, start with the book of John, and read it!  And ask Jesus into your heart!
