Doves,
 
Thanks to John Tng for this site.  It's been an encouragement, especially as times are tough these days.
 
And thanks to Valerie over at rapture flight.  We get up to Toronto sometimes from Buffalo.  My driving skills are tested in your town, Valerie.
 
I read a recent article on rapture flight from Michael about what the Lord told him these last few years.  For 2013, the Lord mentioned, "this is it... and martial law."
 
Most of us are familiar with Matthew 24.  However, Mark 13 is the same subject matter and I want to consider it today.
 
Mark 13:2 "Jesus replied, Yes, look at these great buildings. But they will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another." NLT
I believe this may have been a prophetic scripture about not only the destruction of the temple in 70 AD, but also the destruction of the world trade center on Sept 11, 2001.
 
Versus 5-8 refers to wars, earthquakes, famines, false messiahs.  All of these we have today.
 
Versus 9 refers to believers being beaten for their faith.  This is happening today.  Pastor Saeed in Iran. And around the world, as Jack Van Impe reports there are 130 countries in the world today persecuting Christians.
In the U.S. the persecution of Christians has begun.  O's justice dept has declared right wing Christian groups a threat, O's IRS has targeted churches.  Lois Lerner will probably be promoted after the rapture.
 
Verses 14 - abomination of desolation.  As Renee M has detailed so well.  The Lord showed her this was fulfilled when O stood in the church of Nazarene in Bethlehem.
 
Verse 15 - "A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack." 16 "A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat."  These scripture may mean that once the abomination of desolation takes place, we should be very careful not to backslide from this time on.
 
Verse 24 - "At that time, after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light, 25 "the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in heaven shall be shaken."  We just had solar and lunar eclipses in April and May this year, 2013.  We've had meteorites burning up across the sky in Russia and other places this year.  And this powers in the heavens being shaken could possibly be the monster tornado which just struck Oklahoma.
 
Verse 26 - "Then everyone will see the son of Man coming on the clouds with great power and glory. 27 "And he will send out his angels to gather his chosen ones from all over the world..."  The Rapture.
 
Verse 18 says "pray that your flight not be in winter."  And verse 28 says, "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree.  When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near."  So, we have "not in winter" and "summer is near".  Sounds like spring.
 
Summer begins on June 21, 2013.  If the rapture happens before summer begins, there will be chaos.  Then the AC will rise (as Michael mentioned on rapture flight).  Martial law will begin - I suspect- on July 21, 2013 - When O has 3 1/2 years left in his presidency.
 
 
All we can do is be saved and not backslidden.
I could be right or wrong, I know.
 
Still...
