This is my first post to The 5 Doves.
 
I was initiated onto The 5 Doves website about a year ago.
 
In reading all of your messages/posts, the most important ingredient to the whole scenario for the seven-year Tribulation is missing. Namely, the "confirming of the Covenant with Israel". Whereas there is no specific indication of when the "Rapture" will occur, the confirming of the Covenant with Israel will mark the beginning of the Tribulation. The man that will be "The Antichrist" has already signed the Covenant. And he is not Barry Sotero aka Barak Hussein Obama! He is the Crowned Prince of Jordan but never took the throne in Jordan. He is prominent in the world today as a "man of peace". Also, the Bible is very clear that the Tribulation will be seven years in length. The number of days will not be shortened but the length of a day will be shortened probably by the shifting of earth on its axis. There is a record in the Bible of days being lengthened or shortened so this will not be a "new" thing. In watching what is going on in the world today, I KNOW the Rapture is at hand because I see the Tribulation fast approaching and believe the Bible teaches the Rapture occurring prior to the beginning of the Tribulation. Psalm 83 is happening right now. All the countries boarding Israel are at war with her. Something very catastrophic is going to happen--possibly the Rapture-- that will bring utter chaos and the man that will be the Antichrist will come forward. The Ezekiel 38 and 39 war will take place at the beginning of the Tribulation after the Antichrist assures Israel peace.
 
I am looking for Jesus to appear in the sky at any time and KNOW that I will be snatched from this earth to ever be with Him and that is a comfort to me. I Thessalonians 4:13-18
