Lauren, I am probably the newest poster on Doves, and I have not been a
student of timing.  I have studied the Bible carefully, however,
especially for the last l7 or so years, l2 of those with Chuck
Missler's tapes as my primary Bible study, not having a regular church
that my husband and I found sufficient.

I believe the Lord has always answered queries by leading me to Bible
passages.  I am amazed that He does this.  He does not usually talk to
me or give me signs, although I had a wonderful vision of Him l7 years
ago and another "rapture-type vision" five years ago which did not
include a date.

A couple of months ago I dared to ask the Lord when the rapture would
be, after reading about dates on Doves.  I went to the Bible in a
sleepy condition and He showed me a passage which was centered on
Succoth.  I can't remember the passage, as I had awakened, went
sleepily to the Bible, and then back to bed to mull over the Succoth
timing, which is, as you said, between Sept 27 and Oct. 5 this year.

I have tended to accept a friend's vision that the rapture will take
place immediately before the opening of the 6th seal.  My friend, Searl
Miller, had a vision of the Lord over twenty years ago that Christians
in America would be raptured just prior to the violent destruction of
America, and Searl's vision points to "early spring" when buds are just
barely starting to come out.  So Searl would say that the rapture and
subsequent violent destruction of America would not be in the Fall, at
Succoth, but in the early spring, near or on Passover.  Searl does not
pinpoint a year.  Searl had not believed in the rapture at all, had
been an opponent of this concept, before his vision.

It is interesting to me, however, that you pinpoint the date of the
probable 6th Seal event as September 28, 2007, and give the amazing
dates of the Lord reading the passage from Isaiah concerning the
"acceptable day" and the "vengeance of our God" on September 28, 0030,
and the other evidence which you present for this date.  This surely
goes in with what the Lord showed me when I asked if He was ready to be
showing the date of the rapture.  He did not give me an exact date but
very close to one, that is, Succoth, 2007,  which extends into the
early days of October.

I have hoped my friend Searl's vision was accurate, as it has been the
cornerstone of his life for about twenty four years, and he is a very
faithful suffering servant, now suffering quite a lot of ill health and
financial deprivation, with his wife, his disabled son, and his son's
wife.  I am so touched that he and his wife not only support his
disabled son but also his son's wife, who is also disabled.

I have thought, perhaps Searl's early spring day for the rapture will
come actually in the fall, for our seasons are all askew now, with hail
in the middle of July here, and possibly a new buds coming out in the
fall.

Like Zelma on Doves, I tend to look away from dating of the rapture or
the Lord's second coming, but I have been led to read Doves during the
last two months, so perhaps it is now time to look at dates.  Perhaps
the Lord has decided to start to reveal His coming, even to me.  How
wonderful, if so!

Humbly hoping to be among those who make up the Bride, whenever the
Bridegroom cometh.
