Greetings brother Ron,
   I went to the retina specialist and they quickly determined I did not have a detached retina. What they found instead is really stretching my faith. I have an ocular melanoma. There are no specialist here so I will have to go out of town, actually to Missouri to see an optic oncologist. I started the buwig diet and I'm  not eating any foods that are high in acidity. Neill G Russell, author of Newton's Riddle has put together a great website for those struggling with cancer. It is bemadewhole.net. and  I would suggest anyone dealing with cancer look at this website.

   Yes I did read your response and your next posting five doves. I had a miraculous event happened after reading your posting. I spent a lot of time in the last two years listening to Jonathan Kleck. He has an unusual relationship with the Lord and seems to be able to communicate often by casting lots. I don't do it quite as often as he, but when I really need an answer from the Lord, I will ask him to show me a particular scripture so I can get the answer I need. After reading your post The Holy Spirit put in my mind the words "thou almost persuaded me". In less than one minute I picked up my Bible and I asked the Lord to show me, and I took my Bible, closed my eyes, lifted it upside down and backwards and all around and then opened it up and put my finger on the page and it started me at Acts 25. I then began to read chapters 25 and 26 as it is one story, and as you know at the end of chapter 26. King Agrippa says" Paul  almost thou  persuadest me to be a Christian". This is the last verse I ever expected the Lord to show me when I cast a lot for an answer. When I heard those words in my head I thought that was just me. It was only after the Lord showed me this chapter, that He answered my prayer. Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, I decided I would not be like King Agrippa of course and almost believe, but I was 100% fully on board. So at this moment I have to concur that there is according to Ron Reese a 7 year tribulation,a  total 70th week of Daniel, the full time of Jacob's trouble. I do know some people are very dogmatic between a seven year tribulation and the 42 month great tribulation. I believe that a debate on this subject is unfruitful. I will plan for the worst and hope for the best.




I will however say I believe in a pre wrath of God rapture. I believe the start is in Revelation 617.

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

  I believe we could experience some of the wrath of the antichrist.

Rev_13:7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

    So the question is, does the wrath of God start at the beginning  of the tribulation? I personally don't think so. But I do believe that when the wrath of God comes in no matter what form, an asteroid strike, a nuclear strike, or large volcanic and/or earthquake activities, that the Bride of Christ will simultaneously raptured out. Mike Henry Gruver says  "as the missiles are coming down, the Saints are going up". There will have to be an event though to let us know the tribulation has started.  I believe this because we have the day accounts from Daniel and we must have a starting point to use those day counts. I just know these are exciting times to live in. We have the blood Moon tetrad's, the Levi Shoemaker, strike on Jupiter, the crossing of two other comments on April 11, 1996 and 1997, the total eclipse we just experienced this week, the Shemitah, the 70th Jubilee year since Moses, and the list goes on and on and on. One thing is obvious to the most common observer, we are in the very last seconds of time, and our conquering King is about to split the skies and come get us, and that makes my soul leap for joy, so keep looking up our redemption draweth nigh.

   I want to thank you so much for your concern about my eye. I hope you and all who read this will stand with me in prayer that I receive a full and total healing from the Great Physician, my Lord and Savior, my Abba and my best friend.
