Everything seems to be pointing to Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, April 5 and 12 repectively as the culmination of the patience of God with this wicked world. It is therefore a very high watch time period. The Father is speaking now of a shift, a culmination of events to elicit change. He says that He cannot (and will not) leave the world as it is. His pronouncement is that His great anger is going to cause tumult to be poured out upon the Earth. And it has begun.

As always there is a godly pleading for sinners to come to Jesus in repentance and for the carnal and backslidden to do the same. But, make no mistake, His message says that the door to the ark of safety (Jesus) is about to close, just as the ark door did close in the days of Noah's great worldwide flood. And it will be as the time of Lot (judgment by a flood of fire) as well. Time is now, of the essence.

Just exactly what does all of this mean? The LORD says that the corona virus pandemic is being used to make all people stop and reflect on what is important to them. The righteous are being protected just as they were back in the days of the exodus when Moses had all stay indoors under the blood on the doorposts. The rest are also restricted to give them time to reflect on what they should do with their future, for the world will not ever be the same as it was before this virus shut them in. The devil intends the virus for evil, but God intends it for good and turns this around to do His will. How? It is a time of severe warning of the frailty of man and a plea for him to repent and come to Jesus, His Son. It is a time for the carnal, backslidden to repent and return to Him as well. But, time is very short.

More than a few of God's messengers have published that “when the bombs come down, we go up”. In more than a few cases, God has given warning of the destruction of America by fire. Whether by nuclear war, or by meteorite bombardment, or by asteroid strike, terrible things are coming to this nation for its murder of its babies, its abandonment of God's laws, and its abominable practices of sexual deviations, among other evil things such as sex trafficking. Its idol worship of sports, wealth, fame, power, etc has not escaped the list either. God effectively shut down these idols by a small virus. And perhaps most important, He declared that He has shut the tombs called churches in order that people may have an opportunity to come to know Him by being isolated and having time to think of the future.

God has pronounced His judgment, saying that America is worthy of destruction, because it was founded to be a Christian nations, the fountainhead of sending the Word of God to the world, and the example of God's blessings on other nations. But America turned all of this into trash. Whether our President realized it or not, he said we are “kissing comfort and mercy goodbye”. He was speaking of two hospital ships going to New York Harbor, but it may have a deeper meaning than that in God's eyes. We seem to be in that goodbye position, that is comfort and mercy are leaving America and indeed the whole world.

Significantly, God has declared that the beginning of sorrows is here now. Those very words were spoken by Jesus Christ in the Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24. And further, He says that the clock has struck 12:00. I don't find it hard at all to understand that the end of this age has come and there is nothing left ahead but tribulation and great tribulation. This means, Scripturally speaking, that the time of the rapture event has come as described in I Thessalonians 4: 16-18.. And the most likely time for it is either Palm Sunday or Easter Sunday. Of course, I don't know the day or hour, nor does anyone, but the signs are everywhere.

Be warned.....it seems apparent that time is to be up very, very, very soon, hence this letter of warning, and pleading that you prepare for His coming.
