HI, everyone!   Cynthia and I still both have the flu, but it is now a tad better this Sunday afternoon.  We both had Covid around a year ago, and although we have not been tested for this current "flu", in my opinion this is quite different.   I think it is just regular flu, but obviously we don't know for sure without testing.

Well, that is not what I am emailing everyone about.   This morning I was in prayer, and the Lord kept prompting me to find out the date that Russian attacked Ukraine.  So, I went to the computer and "googled" to find out.   Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24th.  OK, that's nice.  Then I felt a prompting in prayer to look at any "time relationships" relative to that date.

Before I tell you what I found, I hope you all know the importance of the number "50" in Scripture.   "50" is considered "jubilee", a time of celebration.  After Jesus rose from the dead, He ascended to be with the Father on the 40th day, and on the 50th day from His resurrection, the Holy Spirit descended (Pentecost) and the Church Age began.  For the reference to 40 days, see Acts 1:3, and for the Scripture on Jubilee or Pentecost (50) see Acts 2:1-4.  For a general reference to the importance of "50", in this case 50 years, see Leviticus 25:8-13.   So 50, be it days or years, is a time of celebration or jubilee.

I took the date of February 24th, 2022 and I added 50 DAYS to that.   I was immediately stunned!   50 days from February 24th lands us on Friday, April 15th, both the date of Good Friday, and Passover starts at sundown on that date!!!   Does anyone think that happens to be just coincidence?  I have always felt that the two most likely seasons for the Rapture are spring and fall.   At Passover long ago God delivered Israel from Egypt, and at the Rapture God delivers His Church (made up of both believing Jews and gentiles) from this present evil world!   As for possible reasons for a fall Rapture, too much to go into here, or this email would get too long!

Many believe that this lingering Russian / Ukrainian war could easily expand and morph into the Rapture / "sudden destruction" event described at the end of 1 Thessalonians 4 and the beginning of 1 Thessalonians 5.   Do I really need to tell everyone again about the lateness of the hour in these End Times?   Israel will be 74 years old on May 14th, and from the "parable of the fig tree" in both the New and Old Testaments, the "generation" to see Israel's return as a nation will see all end time events fulfilled including the upcoming Rapture, 7 year Tribulation Period, and Second Coming of Israel's long rejected Messiah.   Who is He?   Micah 5:2, Psalm 22:14-18, and all of Isaiah 53!   It is a no brainer!   God does not lie!   Humans in the hardness of their hearts simply refuse to believe!

Well, we now have less than a week till we get to Good Friday, Passover, and then Easter on Sunday!   If the timing of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is important to the Lord relative to the spring Jewish feasts, we will soon find out!  If anyone has any further thoughts about this, please feel free to email me!   I welcome any of your thoughts!   The Holy Spirit reveals different things to each of us!
