Ron,

        That took much courage and humility to write what you wrote. You are a better man than I am, to be sure. I admire what you did.

Musing on the possibility of being left behind, has really blown my mind (sorry for the 60's expression). Like waking up in a coffin, overwhelming in terror and despair. I cannot meditate on the thought too long, without slipping into panic. Therefore, I understand your passion to warn people, so that they will not find themselves in that situation. I had always been taught that those who knew the truth, but didn't get caught up, would for sure be among those to whom the strong delusion would be sent, to ensure that they would be damned. So, that further aggravated the thought of what happens when one realizes that they have been left behind.

            I have been far too prideful to have been able to have done what you did with your letter. However, I must admit that I do tremble every time I read the Lord saying, "and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still", compared to when he also said, "and he that is holy, let him be holy still". I tremble, because to be honest, I would have to say that too often I'm more likely to be considered filthy, than holy. I really hope that is not true, but I do tremble at Revelation 22:11, because of it. If it is possible, that those spued out of the Lord's mouth, may not enjoy the blessing of being caught up, then that is too frightening to be complacent about.

                        Thank you, Ron, for warning us, and warning our loved ones, and warning our friends,

                                    I'm sorry if I have hurt you by anything that I have written to you,

                                                Gino
