Hello Stacey,
So sorry to hear about Pastor Riley's recent falls and hospital stay.I am adding my prayers that he recovers and his health issues resolve.May the Lord bless him and his daughter/family and keep His hand upon them. Blessings to all!The Lord may have more letters for Pastor Riley to write - I hope so. We have been blessed to have so many of his letters posted on Doves for so many years He is a mighty Watchman for the Lord! His studies are always well thought out with many scripture references and much encouragement throughout to all of his "Dear Readers". Pastor Riley is a man of strong convictions, always admonishing us to go the The Word to seek the Truth. And to be READY and not be LEFT BEHIND to face the tribulation.I don't know how many years he has been sending letters to Doves, but it's been a good while. They have been a blessing to me over the years. He's always strong in his faith and strong in The Word. He would add his personal contact information to his studies, opening his door to any that would like to contact him. And offering his studies to share. He truly cared about us all and believed in a soon Rapture - encouraging us to "seek the Lord Jesus Christ as your own personal Savior right now while you still have the time and the opportunity to be saved, Romans 10:8-10; Ephesians 2:8-10; 2 Peter 1:10-11. But hurry! The Lord Jesus is coming to rapture His believing, redeemed people to glory REAL SOON."

.http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2018/fmriley1028-3.htmPastor Riley is one of the good Watchmen - always encouraging us to watch for the coming of the Lord.I discovered Pastor Riley's writings back in 1998 at a prophecy conference in Florida. Some of his prophecy material was in the lobby. I remember one writing was about 10 Nissan - the day Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem. He wrote that he believed that the prophetic clock stopped on that day. What Pastor Riley wrote made a lot of sense to me - his writing from all those years ago still keeps me looking at 10 Nissan for the start of some kind of prophetic clock. I still write letters about this for 10 Nissan, every year. You'll see my letters again this year as we get closer to that day - you can thank Pastor Riley for this. :)I started corresponding with Pastor Riley when he had a church in Roswell, New Mexico (my home state). That was a lot of years ago. And then I saw he'd found FiveDoves and started posting his studies on this site. I was glad to see him still getting his writings to the 'readers'!In his 28 November 2021 letter, he thought this would be his last letter; he wrote, "With heartache and tears I have to tell you that unless the Lord intervenes this will be my last study. I simply can no longer see to read, study, or write. I cannot see my studies to make typo corrections. After 68 years in ministering the Word of the Lord, the ministry the Lord gave me is over. Thank you for your understanding and prayers. I hope to SEE every reader in Heaven in a few more days. Glory to God."

As we can see, Pastor Riley expected to go to Heaven a short time ago.In his last letter he wrote, "I'll be looking for every reader at the rapture or at the table of our Lord in glory, Matthew 26:27-29 I am sending forth this warning (He Is Here), because I do care for the souls of those who read my studies. In the love of Christ Jesus, Pastor F.M. Riley." 23 January 2022
HE IS HERE
I doubt I'll meet Pastor Riley on this earth, but I have no doubt I will meet him in Heaven.And his "68 year ministry" is not over...his studies are on FiveDoves - John keeps them for any who wish to read them. He will always be with the many of us his life has touched. I will always remember him.Stacey, Thank you for letting the Doves know. Please pass on our kind thoughts, words of encouragement, and many prayers for him.We will see him some day when all the Doves are together in Heaven. One at a time or all at once in the Rapture.I really don't like having those of us who have spent so much of our lives looking for the Rapture and being a Watchman on the Wall....to got to Heaven BEFORE the Rapture. But I know it's all for our good and God's glory. All to His glory.If it is Pastor Riley's time to go to Heaven...may his passing be peaceful and may angels watch over him. May he pass into the Lord's loving arms.I'll look for him in Heaven.Chance
