Shalom! 

Dear John,

Please add this brief analysis of the current situation to your list of Letters. And Thank You for the devoted work for the Lord and greetings to all the Doves, you've become almost like friends to me within the past decade I've been reading this site. Love you all in Christ! 

My understanding in the Holy Sprit is that the Rapture is imminent and can and will happen at any time. But just to put a deadline for it from Bible perspective which is per 1 Thess. 5:9 the Wrath of God since we are not appointed to it. So when does God's Wrath occur and can we already see it forming in the current world events? If we look at these two Bible passages:

Ezek. 38:18 "And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face."

Ezek. 38:19 "For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;"

...and these two passages, I think we can:

Rev. 6:16 "And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:"

Rev. 6:17 "For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"

As far as I understand, all the key players of End Times and their armies are already present in the Middle East and when these armies start making moves towards Israel AGAIN, then we are almost in the pages of the Bible. For this to happen requires a major escalation, possibly a nuclear one, in the already ongoing duel between the East and the West. This escalation can be the trigger point for the Rapture and it is very hard to see that the current situation will stay stable much longer, the confrontation is too deep and there is only talk of war not peace.

So keep looking up, our Lord is coming fast!

Maranatha!

Yours in Christ, 

EL
