Patti C: Thank you for that wonderful post! I really appreciated what you said! Actually, I'm one of those (irritating) eternal optimists...or used to be...who rarely gets depressed, but I'm deeply grieved at what I see happening around me. The America of my day is no more, and I'm subsequently not very hopeful for America's future and worry about family members. Yet I rejoice because my Savior/Redeemer lives and will soon return to set up His Millennial Kingdom of peace. We believers have a precious Hope that many in the world scoff at as they don't understand nor do they even want to. And sorry about any misunderstanding on past posts!Mary Anna: Another commentary on THE HARBINGER was posted by Terry James over at Rapture Ready that you might enjoy. Haven't read the book but have seen Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn interviewed numerous times. One thing that stood out for me was the miraculous reality of St. Paul's Chapel which should have been destroyed but wasn't. This was one of the places where George Washington dedicated America to God. He dedicated this land both in his inaugural address at the Federal Hall and then in prayer at the Chapel located on the corner of "ground zero." Washington stated in his address at Federal Hall that the nation would prosper and be protected as long as it remained committed to the will and purposes of God. Well we know that's not happening. So I wonder...why does this Chapel still stand and is its mere presence prophetic? http://www.raptureready.com/terry/book11.htmlJudith: That really hit home for me and is also what I've been feeling lately...a much needed wake-up call especially now! Another poster (Josua, I think) expressed something along the same line. Thank you for posting that word!Blessings to all!
