I haven't posted in a while but wanted to share some thoughts I had about these men, in regards to all the buzz on the Internet about their departures and the significance it may play in the prophetic arena. Just throwin' my 2 cents in.

 

Keep in mind, these are just my thoughts. This is not a "thus saith the Lord" word and I'm not even sure it was given to me by the Holy Spirit. But this is what I believe:

 

I believe Ariel Sharon's passing will be a sign strictly for Israel. The word given to Rabbi Kaduri was that the Messiah would first, REVEAL Himself to Israel, which He did when He gave the Rabbi His name. Then, He said He would RETURN shortly after Sharon died. We all know, all too well, that "shortly", to the Lord, is entirely different from what we mere mortals consider "shortly".  To the Lord it could be anywhere from 1 day to 1000 years (pun intended). Also, to DECLARE His return to HIS people implies, to me, that He is referring to the end of the tribulation, when He saves Israel and causes them to "look upon Him whom they have pierced".

 

I believe Billy Graham's passing will be our sign for the soon coming rapture, if not simultaneously, with it.  Graham has been such an iconic figure of evangelism and no one, as far as I know, has led as many people to Christ as he has and no one has put more emphasis on "the GRACE of God" than Graham did. I feel that when the Lord calls him home, it will send a message to the world that the  "Age of Grace" is over.

 

 

Praise God for your work, John and God bless all the doves. It's an absolutely wonderful place to fellowship. John Baptist from www.Tribulation-Now.org  says it perfectly.... We are now part of an "electronic ecclesia" and what the devil intended for evil, God has used it for good and His church is bigger than ever and has been united GLOBALLY (take that Satan) through this venue called the internet!!  Two can play this game (and he already lost)......    Praise Jesus!!

 

 

YsiC,
