I just sent this to a friend, and I decided to send it to some of my other prophecy friends.

Yes, it is all working (despite President Trump's nationalistic efforts) toward the coming one world government!   So very many are blind!   I keep thinking about the two recent contacts I had with pastors------Harvest Bible Chapel (146th & River Road) and Christ Community Church (on 131st Street).   Those two pastors rejected end time Bible prophecy with considerable vigor!   It was truly amazing!   I used to think that salvation and the Rapture were totally linked.   I don't anymore.   Rev. 3:16 tells us that the Lord "spits the lukewarm out of His mouth", and the Bible as we know is written to believers, not to unbelievers!   Being "spit out of the Lord's mouth" is hardly being taken in the Rapture!   And Luke 21:36 says to "pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that are about to take place and to stand before the Son of Man" (Rapture).   If everyone who is born again (lukewarm folks included) is taken in the Rapture, then why would this verse be there (again, the Bible is written to believers)?   The Scripture says that we are to be EAGER for His coming (Heb. 9:28 N.A.S. and Phil 3:20).   Folks who totally reject end time Bible prophecy are hardly "eager"!   I think I told you (I am not sure) that several weeks ago I asked the Lord for a dream to show me something, anything He might like to show me.   Early the next morning I had a dream that I was in a college setting and was about to start the full course that I teach on end time Bible prophecy, which is just under 300 hours long.   I was going through all the topics in the course when one by one all of the students got up and left the room.   Upon waking from the dream the Lord showed me that there is very little interest in Bible prophecy late in these End Times, and even harsh rejection of this topic!  When I woke up I went, WOW!   Scripture tells us (Matt. 24:37-39) that the days of the coming of the Son of Man are JUST LIKE the days of Noah.   No one wanted to listen to Noah except his 7 family members!   Noah and his family survived and the world perished!

Finally, 2 Tim. 4:8 tells us that there is a crown of righteousness for those who have "loved His appearing"!

P.S.   Remember that the Lord knows each person's heart (we don't at all!).   So the Lord knows who is to go UP and who is to stay.   In my opinion, the biggest revival in all of human history will be right after the Rapture!   And many (likely not all) of those lukewarm folks will finally wake up, but at the cost of their lives during the 7 year Tribulation Period.

P.P.S.   Consider that as believers we are to love the Lord with all of our heart, and we cannot selectively throw out those parts of the Bible that we do not like!   ALL of the Bible is true.

P.P.P.S.   Psalm 102:16 King James states:     "When the Lord shall build up Zion (Israel), He shall appear in His glory."   After an absence of over 2600 years without being a free, independent people, Israel returned in 1948 as a free, independent nation and we entered the End Times of this present dispensation, the Church Age.   Now Israel is 69 years old (as of May 14, 2017), and the parable of the fig tree in the Bible (in many places) tells us that the generation to see Israel's return will see all end time events fulfilled!   Right now looming ahead of us is the Rapture, then the 7 year Tribulation Period, and finally the Second Coming of Israel's long-rejected Messiah, Who is Christ.   At the Second Coming Israel at last will receive Him!   Praise the Lord!
