Dear Doves

January 14, 2016

Simply stated, I do not believe that there is a seven years tribulation period ahead for us.

It seems to be the accepted theme among prophecy teachers that the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy, commonly called the 7 year tribulation period, is yet future. It echoes everywhere, or so I seem to hear. People call it the 7 year tribulation period.

But, it is simply not so. Here is the main reason why. The rapture of the Church that is “ready” to be raptured is imminent. It is at the very door. It is right now. At least, so says many of the visionaries and watchers who post you tubes in an effort to tell us so. I, myself, have had no dreams or visions such as they report having, but I believe them in the basis of Acts 2:17 wherein the Apostle Peter quoted God's word as saying so by repeating Joel 2:28. In Act 2:17 it says “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams”.

Since this is Scriptural, and since this is actually happening, not by one person but by a multitude of persons, then it must be so. Some are reporting the very words as given to them by God.

Here is the point. If the rapture of the ready Church is imminent, meaning right now, then it must be at the time of sudden destruction, so says Paul in 1st Thessalonians, 5:3, “For when they shall say 'Peace and Safety'; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape”. Paul had just finished detailing the rapture of the Church when he said this. It is a continuance of that message. So, if the rapture comes at the time of sudden destruction, WHEN THEY SAY PEACE AND SAFETY, we need to know who “they”and “them” is. And we need to know what constitutes “sudden destruction”.

But more than this, we need to know when this will occur. According to many visionaries and message receivers reporting visions and dreams from heaven, the time is RIGHT NOW!!. If this is so, then it is time for the WRATH OF GOD ALMIGHTY to fall upon planet earth. This wrath is defined as being 42 months beginning with two witnesses rising, and 144,000 Jewish evangelists being commissioned.

The question is, is this 42 months part of the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy or not? Is it an extension on the end of the 70th week of Daniel, or does it begin it? Can we know when this part of the Daniel prophecy is fulfilled? I don't exactly know, but I can speculate.

Consider, that the prophet Daniel was a Jewish prophet. His nation was Israel. Regathered Israel is, I believe, God's time clock in the end of the age. Our eyes should therefore be on regathered Israel today for enlightenment of this matter. Thus, I see the 70th week of Daniel applying to their experience and having nothing to do with the Gentile world (except of course, Gentiles are affected, as we live on the same planet). So, in light of this, what could begin and end the 70th week of Daniel?

>I believe it to be the rise of the Antichrist and the False Prophet.

>I believe it to be some sort of miraculous happening that pertains only to Israel, to “bring in the Most Holy” and lift the blinders from their eyes in accordance with Romans, chapter 11:25 which says, “For I would not, brethren, that ye whould be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceit; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in”. God goes to declare that all Israel will be saved (salvaged). This is for the Kingdom Age.

I think that there will have been signs in the heavens above. And soon, on the earth beneath, blood, fire, and pillars of smoke. Read Acts 2:19 “And I will shew wonders in heaven above (tetrad of blood moons and solar eclipse), and signs in the earth beneath; (earthquakes, storms, tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, etc) blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke (yet to come?). The Apostle Peter proclaimed this also, in quoting Joel 2:30, 31. I believe these signs occurred in the tetrad of blood moons, centered by a full solar eclipse in 2014 and 2015.

I also believe that the miraculous occurrence Israel needed happened on the final blood moon, September 28, 2015. A 15 year old Jewish lad named Natan (Nathan), who knew nothing of the Old Testament, let alone the New Testament, died clinically for 15 minutes during which he visited heaven, in a Jewish way. He has been burning the ears of the chief rabbis of Israel since then, telling them what is going to happen to them and it matches the Old Testament Scriptures to a “t”. These rabbis are now looking for Messiah to come. And when He does come, it will be Jesus, whom they pierced, but right now, they don't know that. Soon, very soon, they will.

The Antichrist is also on the scene. So is the False Prophet. Most of you reading this article know who both are. U. S. President Obama is the first, and Pope Francis is the other, I believe. They are both under heavenly restraint until the rapture of the ready Church. Then both will be revealed to the left behind world in all their power. And this will be the time of sudden destruction, a time that the Scriptures define as 42 months, or 3 ½ years of 360 days.

IT CANNOT BE THE START OF THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL'S PROPHECY, BE ONLY 42 MONTHS OR HALF THE TIME, AND BE THE WRATH OF GOD ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

So, if the rapture is about to be, and the wrath of God Almighty is about to fall at the same time, due to the demand for sudden destruction worldwide, then we are either:

>One half way through the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy and ready for the second half of it, or

>The 70th week of Daniel's prophecy is already over, and Nathan's heavenly visit and report ended it.

It must be one way or the other......

THEREFORE:

My belief is that the time line for the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy began when Barack Obama was elected, November 4, 2008 to destroy America, Israel's ally and only protector, and ended when Nathan came back to instruct the rabbis of Israel on September 28, 2015, the final blood moon.

I know some think this time line has played out and is not correct. I disagree. We are now ready for the appearance of Messiah of Israel, and our Lord Jesus Christ to take us home.

I also think that the sudden destruction is worldwide, and that the “they” of I Thessalonians 5:3 is the world, not just America or Israel, but the entire world.

I also think that the rapture of the ready Church will be the cause of the destruction and that it will be an electromagnetic pulse, knocking out temporarily the electric grid of the the whole wide world. I also believe it will cause martial law to be instituted in the whole world, and also in America. It will bring to absolute power the antichrist element, who will be called upon by a dark world for light and help. Imagine being reduced to candle light and kerosene heat. Imagine no food, no medicines, no incomes, no nothing. This will begin 42 months of unparalled misery on the earth. Men and women will wander in the dark screaming at God for this misery. Thieves will kill and maim in the darkness, over a pinch of food. Pregnant women will lose babies from their very womb, and all children will be gone. Murder and mayhem will be at a level never before experienced. Police protection will be non-existent. But bullets will still work, and gunfire will still occur, murdering people right and left. Panic will be so high as to trample people underfoot. Not a child will be left on earth below a certain age or status, known, of course to God.

And, dear brothers and sisters, the left behind will include the Laodicean Christians. These accepted the gift of God in salvation, but refused to follow Him as He required. I believe that God, in His mercy, will send back some of the raptured Church believers in glorified bodies that cannot be harmed, to lead these to repentance and acceptance in the Beloved. The two witnesses will serve Israel, as will the 144,000 evangelists, and these will serve the Gentiles. A great harvest will thus be accomplished by the sheer terror of what has happened and the testimony of those who know or figure out what has happened. Thus will the Body of Christ be completed and these will join the other six Churches in heaven as the Bride of Christ.

So, in summary, I believe this: The 70th week of Daniel's prophecy is over. Israel is now being awakened to recognize and receive her true Messiah, Jesus Christ the Lord. We, ready Christians are imminently to be raptured. The destroying planet x or Nibiru is coming in March, 2016 to both begin and to finish the destruction over the final days of this civilization. Things are in motion that cannot be stopped as I write this. So, I say

Maranatha
