Hello, John and Doves,Someone said,"Most people do not understand that the first Gog-Magog War in Israel will occur before the rapture of the Church."I like to put that in the same box in which I keep the sentence,"Most people do not understand that the Moon is really made of green cheese."That's because the Moon is not made of green cheese. Duh!Okay, here's another one:"Most people do not understand that the Pope is really Southern Baptist."That's because he's Catholic! What else is new?One more:"Most people do not understand that the number for 911 is 44125976467369-7-64616-1366116." That's because the number for 911 is.........911!In the same way, no one in the universe "understands" what is, in fact, not true.What's the bottom line? The Rapture has no immediate sign--only pointers. If you miss the pointers, you won't be watching. If you're not watching, you will be caught up unawares.Like GILLIAN in Star Trek IV: "Oh my God! Aaah..." [as she is beamed into the Klingon Bird of Prey, captained by Starfleet Admiral James T. Kirk] http://www.chakoteya.net/movies/movie4.html [about 5/7 down the page]Baruch HaShem Adonai Roi,Mike C.
