MY CURRENT SPECULATION – WE ARE HOMEWARD BOUND


I think that God's plan for the rescue of Philadelphia Christians is set for May 13/14, 2018. At that time, I speculate that those Christians who have been contacted by the Lord Jesus Christ by way of the Holy Spirit and who have been given their “marching” orders will be ready to remain here for a time to help lead their sister Church Christians, the Laodiceans to Him. Laodicea, by definition is one of the seven Church ages of Revelation 2 and 3. Therefore, a Laodicean must have salvation in order to be a “church”. Given that, the purpose of leaving them behind to suffer the Great Tribulation is to refine them as gold tried in the fire so that they, like Philadelphia will be found worthy. Jesus many times warned that obedience to His commands is necessary for a complete salvation experience. While the gift of God (salvation) is without repentance on God's part, the order to obey Him as faithful sheep is called “working out one's salvation with fear and trembling”. So, we have the left behind, but Jesus in His mercy is providing for them by calling workers to remain in glorified bodies to help them. Praise God Almighty for His boundless mercy.


My Christian testimony includes an indication personally to me that I would know. Know what? The time of the rapture of the Church. The seventh church of Revelation 3 has had it candlestick removed out of its place. It is cut off from the others due to its gross disobedience to the demands and the commands of her Lord. She is the left behind Church that must be refined as gold is refined in the fire. The fire in this case is the great tribulation. An army of men and women warriors, all in glorified bodies have been commissioned to work with these left behind ones to bring them speedily to the place of blessing of her Lord and Savior. These workers appear to be the so called generation x'ers and the millenialists. This gives them the priceless opportunity to work out their own salvation for reward. The older generations still living seem to have put in their service and will go to heaven when called.


When? At the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture of the living Philadelphia believers. These have been found worthy to stand before the Son of man. I am one of these inasmuch as the Lord Jesus has not called me to remain as a warrior to the Laodicean Christians. I have already commented on what I believe to be the reason. A few watchers have openly said that they have been commissioned to remain, howbeit in new and glorified bodies that cannot be harmed.


The day that seems the most likely to be correct may be May 13/14. Please notice the events on Sunday, May 13, 2018. It is:


>>>Mother's Day

>>>Israel's birthday anniversary in the United Nations

>>>Pentecost Sunday

>>>Completion of the count of the omer in Israel.


God is now using kings and presidents to bring the world to His appointed time for them as well. He is preparing the world for war and there exists a great delusion that causes mankind to believe a lie. There is no peace or safety even while the cry is for peace and safety.


My 86th birthday and my 65th year of service to Jesus Christ. Sixty five years is full term labor to retirement and it is time for me to retire? Since there is no such thing as a coincidence with God, perhaps this is a sign?


Bro. Charles on Five Doves was certain that Thursday of some week would be the time of His appearing. It could begin the countdown of 10 days, divided between 7 and 3. Seven for our alert and 3 days of darkness, commencing on May 4/5 and ending May 13/14.


Will it be now? It must be close as the Jubilee year cannot be extended further or so it seems. And we had assurances that our rapture would be in the Jubilee year, when the captives are set free. God is very notable for waiting until the very last second of the last minute to perform His marvelous works, so it probably is going to be governed by that. And the last day of Jubilee is May 13/14 unless some calendar quirk comes up to somehow extend the time. Of course this is always possible.


Now that Thursday May 3 has passed without the rapture, then it appears that we have 10 days more until the end of the age. Look now for an alarm May 5 in America that will signal the 7 days heads up we have been waiting for, followed by 3 days of darkness over the land. I think the earthquake and volcanic eruptions in Hawaii may be that sign since Hawaii is America. Look now in the coming days for the resurrection and war clouds ready to burst.


Stay in touch with Jesus by prayer.
