"The Rapture Thoughts
of Brother Sal Smario--to Rowina"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2011/rowina1010.htm
Dear Mariel & Doves:
I think Jack Kelly is half right in that the rapture won't
happen till all aboard who's coming aboard. He does
introduce much uncertainty and a predisposition to give up
trying to determine "the Day". I can understand that after
so many false alerts that this is one way of dispensing with
that effort. I don't think we should give up but rather be
more careful in our analysis and the way we present our
findings. I already hinted at the screen I use. The
screen is Biblical and somehow all the day counts in Daniel
& Revelation have to be accounted for. The Resurrection
& Rapture of course precede the 70th week.
Events in the mid-east and around the world certainly scream
that the end is near and because we have eyes to see and
ears to hear the message is loud and clear and it seems like
things should have happened yesterday or even yesteryear.
When I look around though I can see that people are in
various stages of waking up and are just starting to hear
and see. So what seems clear to us is often just the first
glimmers of light to others. Patience is indeed a virtue.
I listened to Brother Sal's latest broadcast. He moved out
of Cali into Mexico and recently got kicked out of his
house. The Lord provided him with new quarters and it
sounds like he's right on the beach! Here's the link
to his broadcast. He was one of the pioneers and I realize
that some of his research may or may not be right.
Although I could be wrong I see the rapture window opening
up on December 21, 2012 and closing on Rosh 2013. I am not
dogmatic regarding whether it's a split second or 40 days
between the Resurrection and the Rapture. I simply see
Ascension Thursday 2013 as the best candidate for the
Rapture when taking all things into consideration. My
reasoning converged with Brother Sal's reasoning on this
point.
Both Brother Sal & Jack devised ways of dealing with the
uncertainty principle.
