Dear John
Apologies for the recent text error on text 'To all wandering sheep' The text should read as follows:-
To
all wandering sheep
I
feel am like many, being swept along by the tide of seemingly
prophetic occurrences, omens, that we walk in days of something great
that might be the culmination of something divine. I was never
really moved by the prophecies surrounding the year 2012 and its
associated importance. So, to feel the excitement of growing
expectations around the year 2015, I find is unexpected and not
typical of my normal scepticism with regards these types of
phenomenon. I think that for an old cynic like me to be excited and
filled with anticipation that something huge will happen in 2015 is a
testament to the veracity of the information and the spirit that
powers it.
While
I have spent many hours pouring over a multitude of u-tube videos
where sincere and convinced Christians present their different
nuanced takes on these end times events I was led by God to question
my actions. It was as if God was saying to temper my enthusiasm with
searching out the deep thing with God with the realisation that His
heart was breaking for the lost sheep whose ultimate demise was fast
approaching.
I
was born-again in 1985 but I still struggled with aspects of my
Christian walk. While not a lost sheep in the ultimate sense, I can
certainly confess to being a very confused sheep. It was this
confusion that led to God saying that what he really wanted me to
understand was not the date of the approaching rapture but was
something about my relationship with him. I think I am not alone in
being a sheep who is not apart of a flock (church). I believe there
are many born again who wander outside of organized churches whom
Jesus is looking to corral with the other confused sheep. It began
with a revelation that God directed Jesus' feet to Jacob's well,
where he met with the Samaritan woman. This pointed me to an Old
Testament image that was somehow prophetic. Genesis 29 1-3
1.Then Jacob went
on his journey, and came to the land of the sons of the
east. 2He
looked, and saw a well in the field, and behold, three
flocks of sheep were lying there beside it, for from that
well they watered the flocks. Now the stone on the mouth of
the well was large. 3
When
all the flocks were gathered there, they would then roll
the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep,
and put the stone back in its place on the mouth of the
well

God
showed me that this event foreshadows the rapture. It cannot take
place until all the sheep are gathered. At Jesus' resurrection the
stone was rolled away but we cannot drink from the living water until
ALL the sheep are gathered. There is still another flock to come in.
Three flocks are waiting already arrived at the well.
Genesis
29 6-11
And
they said, "It is well, and here is Rachel his daughter
coming with the sheep."
7He
said, "Behold, it is still high day; it is not time
for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go,
pasture them." 8
But they said, "We cannot, until all the flocks
are gathered, and they roll the stone from the mouth of
the well; then we water the sheep."
9
While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came
with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess. 10
When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his
mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's
brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the
mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban his
mother's brother. 11
Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted his voice and
wept.
God revealed the
three flocks waiting are the three Barley harvests of
Hebrews. Abraham to King David, King David to the Exile,
the exile to Jesus. Matthew 1:17. The last flock would
be the wheat harvest brought in by Rachel at the time of
the rapture. Rachel the (to be ) bride of Jacob would
be met and then all the sheep watered.
Consider
it was Jesus who said to the non Jewish Samaritan woman
that if she only realised who he was. The water he would
give would spring from a rolled away tomb stone that would
lead to eternal life.
Jesus
blessed me with this revelation, I hope it blesses you too
Thank you for the work you do in providing a platform for voices 'crying in the wilderness' in these last days
