Dear Doves,   

As born-again-believers in Christ Jesus, we are those who have received His gift of pardon.  It is our choice to receive His gift of grace through faith.  Jesus offers this gift of salvation to everyone.  Because of His sacrifice on the cross, we are blood bought believers and we belong to Him.  Soon He will be coming to receive us unto Himself.  Soon we will be taking a trip. 

  

This all-expenses-paid trip of a life time, is described in the scriptures in several places.  It's been talked about quite a bit here on Five Doves.  It's a favorite topic.  In fact, most of us can't wait until Jesus comes for His bride.  The event is called the Rapture.  I think about it all the time and pray it is SOON.  I believe it is very soon.

Through out the years, there have been many high-watch dates for the rapture that have come and gone.  Lately Renee M. and Ron R. have brought to the table and shared with us, some very interesting and exciting findings that point to Hanukkah, Dec 7/8 to Dec 16.  If you are new to this website, you will enjoy reading some of their's and other's past letters describing the many things that point to this appointed time.     

I'd like to share why i feel Hanukkah is a very possible timing for the rapture.  Last month, my husband and i put an offer on a house in another state.  We were really looking forward to moving into our dream home in a wonderful neighborhood.  The loan didn't go through because of an underwriter glitch.  I was so sad for days afterwards.  I was crying one day while asking the Lord why we were not going to be moving to the area i thought He wanted us to live?  I was immediately impressed with, "Well, you said you wanted to be together during the rapture, didn't you?"  I was stunned.  I didn't hear it audibly - it was a thought, an impression that came to me, as if the Lord laid it on my heart.  

For many years, i've prayed that when the rapture happens, i want my husband and i to be together at home.  I prayed we would not be driving our car, but would be at home together.  So, when i was crying out to the Lord, and this impression suddenly came to me, i stopped in my tracks, my mouth dropped opened  in surprise, and i said out loud, "Oh, my Lord!  Yes, that is so true.  Thank You!"  As you can imagine, my sadness turned into gladness.   

You see, if we had bought that house, we would have been separated, with me in one state and my husband in another the last week of November through the first three and a half weeks of December.  So, if i'm discerning what i feel is from the Lord correctly, there is a possibility the rapture could happen sometime during that time frame.  

I'm not saying this is an absolute, i'm just relating what i was impressed with that i believe the Lord laid on my heart. If we are still here past Christmas, I'll be surprised and sad; sad, not only because we are still here, but because what I thought was from the Lord, wasn't.  

Another reason I believe there will be a rapture very soon, that i've written about before, here on Five Doves a few times in the past year, is the story of Ronnie Posey.   In the book, "Dead To Live Again,"  Ronnie described his encounter with God, who revealed to him, it was very possible that Jesus would come for the saints before his 70th birthday, April 5, 2013.  I'm holding onto that remarkable story and keeping the faith, our Bridegroom will scoop us up in His arms before that date.  

Thanks to all of you who share your thoughts, dreams, visions, impressions, scripture findings, word of knowledge, etc., the Lord is revealing to you in these end-times.  It is encouraging to hear and learn how the Lord is using  people to bring a word of hope during these troubling times.  So glad you're not afraid to share your opinion about a "possible" high watch date.  Even when the date comes and goes, and we are disappointed that we are still here, it still gives us HOPE.  It gives us a time to look forward to.  Because, one day, sooner or later, Jesus IS coming to receive His bride.  Keep the faith.  Can't wait to meet you all soon.

The hand writing is on the wall.  So many events (like the escalating war in the middle east) are transpiring rapidly.  I just wonder if O's comment about "winning the war on Christmas" will have any meaning next month?  It may.  If Holy-Spirit-filled saints are gone, the restrainer will be out of the way and all hell will break loose.  What's that saying about winning the fight but losing the battle?   Hmmmm, in the end we know who loses and who wins. Yay Lord! 

Soon we will fly - our all-expenses-paid trip of a life time....here we come! Please pray for Israel's protection.  God bless you all.  We will soon be with our Beloved Saviour Yahshua.

Shalom,
