My brother is very close and dependent upon the Lord.  I think because of what he went through his life with his weird palsy-like uncoordination and near blindness, the result of I believe being born as was I, his twin, premature at 6 months, 24 weeks in 1943.  They didn't weigh us till we were five weeks old, then I weighed 2 pounds, and he less.

The fact we survived through the intense efforts of a Jewish air force physician who took a special interest in us, and God's grace.  If everyone had been born in 1943 like us the population of the United States would only be 53,000 or so.

He was made fun of and picked on savagely in his junior high and high school years till we moved to a nice suburban school with its "spoiled", "rich" kids who in contrast were very nice.  But he never got over it.

He is fearless in the Lord even though very shy.  He witnessed to a ghetto gang in a fast food restaurant, told them off! ---as a for instance.

He gets words from the Lord on who to witness to, eg. an old woman on the bus who was made fun of by some female tramps.

He also gets promises about how soon the Rapture is.

After Katrina hit, he heard, "One more big disaster, then the Rapture."

More recently, he heard , "One more disaster, and it will not be an earthquake!"

He is not a prophet and never states any dates per se.
