"Attn:  Janie"




Dear Janie,  I am so happy to hear of your earnest walk with our Lord.  I rarely write on this board, but your comments and questions deserve a scriptural answer.  I have also been dismayed at the chaos that has emerged in recent months along this line.  But, because I am much older and seasoned I have seen this before.  I sought God concerning these things in times past and His answer is the same today.  Many have forgotten their first love and their focus is not Christ centered, but focus is on things pertaining to scripture, especially prophecy.  We indeed have a command to observe our times and to be aware of the puzzle pieces coming together lest we be caught in great deception.  However, there is no edict to set dates and seek endless confirmations of His coming.  


Most of these folks seem very sincere, but they will be shown to be sincerely wrong.  I can't imagine the need to continually confirm His words to them if they truly believe.  We all need to remain focused on the mission Jesus gave to all of us;  to seek and save the lost.  I saw one video where a person was ringing a bell and acting giddy.  How sad that we have lost the heart of God towards the lost and are absorbed with ourselves.  I would not hold The Lord back for one heartbeat, but I will occupy until He comes or calls me home.  

Stay devoted to the Word and prayer. You will be fine.  One piece of advice.  When these people are shown to be in error, please stop listening to them. Just pray they will return with a whole heart and mind to God and His mission.   
I do not know Brother Marcus, but his videos are worth a listen.  God bless you Janie.  I pray you will keep the faith always.
