I have a friend who is a pastor in the Lexington, Kentucky area.  We have known each other since 2001, and have been on the phone together about once per week since then.

I just got off the phone speaking to him.  He was just preaching at a church in Cynthiana, Kentucky (north of Lexington).  A gentleman there who was described as a "lukewarm churchgoer" was in the hospital and clinically died.  He was revived and was terrified and related the following story.

He saw Hell and said it was a place of unfathomable terror, far beyond our comprehension.  He said he saw his father there.  The Lord told him that He was sending him back to his life on earth and that he must get his life together IMMEDIATELY or he would end up where his father is.

The Lord told him that IF HE KNEW HOW EXTREMELY CLOSE THE RAPTURE NOW IS HE WOULD BE SHOCKED!

This pastor friend of mine will be going to Cynthiana, Kentucky about two weeks from now to interview him.  I will relate more when I get the transcript of the interview.

P.S.  Suffice it to say, this gentleman is no longer "lukewarm"!

P.P.S.  Many pastors today want to shove the topic that we are living late in these End Times under the rug!  I say shame on them!

P.P.S.  For those of you reading this who already know Christ (Israel's long rejected Messiah), I give you these two scriptures:  

Philippians 3:20 (New American Standard Bible)

"For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we EAGERLY wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ."

Hebrews 9:28 (New American Standard Bible)

"so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who EAGERLY await Him."

Pastors who want to throw this topic under the bus are not EAGERLY awaiting Him!!!  And they are risking missing the Rapture and being left behind to face the terrors of the coming Tribulation Period!
