Don’t feel bad about being wrong about 9-23.  Many on this site have predicted date and have been wrong.  Being wrong; however, is not a bad thing.  You spent a lot of time and effort studying and learned a lot, and by sharing, we learned a lot.  So you, and others need to keep guessing the time, and who the antichrist is and analyzing all the current events because when you do it causes me to analyze the information and grow in my walk with Christ.  So even when you are wrong, it is still a benefit to many people.

I for one feel as though the rapture will be like the start of the race.  We can see on a schedule that we have a track meet in April.  I know that my event is the 100 yard dash.  I know that I report at 12:04 for my race and soon after it will begin. I know this so I can stretch, and warm-up and get team mates ready as well. I know that when the starter says “on your mark” it will be soon, when he says “get set” I know that it is immanent.  However, I never know exactly when the gun will go off so I must remain ready until it does.

I truly believe we are between the “get set” and the firing of the gun.  False starts are disappointing, but it makes us reevaluate the situation, and prepare again.

Keep working though because one day, probably soon, you will be right.
