OK, here we go.  I must say that I feel very poorly right now, but I sensed in prayer that I should try to get this email out.   Let's look at the timing of the Rapture from a different perspective.

Hosea 6:2 and Luke 13:32------ I will paraphrase---- After 2 days (2000 years, as one day to God is 1000 years, 2 Peter 3:8), we will be raised up and then we will live before the Lord forever.  OK.  So, when did Jesus (Israel's Messiah) go to the cross, die, and rise again?   Some think 27 AD, some think 30 AD, some think 33 AD.   Personally I think 30 AD.   So, adding 2 days (2000 years) gives us 2030 AD.   Humm.  That would be the time of the Second Coming, but there is still a 7 year Tribulation Period coming up right after the Rapture.   Well, for the fun of it let's take 2030 AD and subtract 7 years for the 7 year Tribulation Period.   OK.   2030 minus 7 years for the Tribulation is 2023 AD.   Humm.   Perhaps the Rapture could be this year???   Perhaps!   I have always thought that the Rapture would either be at the spring Jewish feasts or at Rosh Hashanah in the fall.   Either one works for me!   Work for you too?

So, might the Rapture be yet THIS year???!!!   We don't know, but maybe!   Are you watching world events?   China now has its navy surrounding Taiwan, heavy fighting is going on between Russia and Ukraine, and we have a very weak President at the helm in the U.S.  He can barely walk stairs without falling on his face!   Right after the upcoming Rapture the antichrist will arise out of Europe and will make the Daniel 9:27 covenant with Israel and the Palestinians and many nations (the 7 year Tribulation Period).   Oh, there is so much more I would like to say here, but I am very weak and feel lousy.   One final thought.  I won't go through the Scripture here, but the Rapture is associated with an event of "sudden destruction" happening down on the earth for those left behind.   World War III?

P.S.   So, are the churches screaming from their pulpits that the hour is late in these End Times and the Rapture is near?   NOPE!   Why not?????????   After all, the Scripture is clear especially when we throw in the "parable of the fig tree" (Israel is God's fig tree), which I am not going to do here.  MATTHEW 24:39 STATES, "AND THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME AND TOOK THEM ALL AWAY; SO SHALL THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE."  A very few churches are teaching on these End Times in which we are living, but most are not, just as this Scripture tells us would be the case before Jesus comes in the Rapture!
