Hello, John and
Doves,
Well, Jim, I just
watched the entire video--what an encouragement!
I have reviewed in
my mind and spirit the events of the past few months. I have been saying to God in
prayer, and to others at my place of work, that people seem to more and more
often exhibit a marked lack of both inhibition and wisdom/common sense.
This results in rampant sin, murders, blasphemies, etc. That's all not to
mention the traffic on your local highways and byways. lol Oh, and
more and more people are moving
here and there to find cheaper places to live. As many times as some
poor folks have had to move, they still (!) lose a chair on the highways every
time or two!
This indicates to
me that the Devil may already have been kicked out of Heaven. Now he is on
pins and needles, waiting for the Rapture, having had to formulate and
re-formulate his plans--for the day and hour of the Rapture are
hidden as yet. I really do think that ALL our posts, taken in
toto, are freely allowed by our Abba, Father in order to
confuse the enemy. If we are confused and frustrated, how do you think
Sat-On (my nickname for Satan, since had to cry "Uncle!" at
the Cross) feels? That old goat's ears have been pinched and twisted
eight ways to Sunday, don't ya know, y'all!!!
~Blessings,
Mike

"A 2013
rapture?"
Dear
friends:
A few days ago I forwarded to many of you an unusual
video message link titled, "Official Announcement : The Rapture is in
2013." It was by a Hispanic fellow named Rody
Dominquez
"Official Announcement"? What chutzpah! The
man is driven by deep conviction.
I do not know him but I was impressed
with his message, his fervor, and his sincerity. The link was at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QWhepc7P6g. I urge you to watch and pay attention to it. It may be
most important and profound videos ever.
The message was so radical I
was not surprised that I got almost no response. The silence was
deafening. One reason is that the message violated a usually
misunderstood mantra of most prophecy writers -- that "no man knows the day or
the hour." But this fellow did not claim a day or hour, just the year --
2013. There is nothing unscriptural about that, I felt his message
was very credible and well stated.
One dear lady did respond
saying that the Lord has been saying the exact same thing to her, that the
rapture will be in 2013.
I failed to emphasize then but I want to
emphasize now that the fellow did include some impressive confirmation, as
follows:
1. After the year 2013 was revealed to him, he asked the
Lord for confirmation. He said, "Lord, If 2013 is really the year of the
rapture, please let me randomly open my Bible to some chapter 13." There
are about 30 places in the Bible with a chapter 13, He then opened his
Bible randomly and -- surprise -- he was at Mark 13:20! It says,
“And unless the Lord had
shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom
He chose, He shortened the days."
What are the odds? But
there is more.
2. He decided that one confirmation was not enough
and he wanted another. He opened his Bible at random again. It
landed on Luke 13:25, which says, "When once the Master of the house has
risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the
door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I
do not know you, where you are from..." Again, he landed on
chapter 13.
Again, what are the odds? But there is
more.
3. Notice: Both Scripture verses above relate to the end
times and/or the rapture.
Again, what are the odds? But there is
more.
4. Someone posted underneath the video that it just
happened to be exactly 15:51 minutes long, and that the classic rapture verse
in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 15:51. Bet you missed that. My own
computer counted pnly15:50, one second off, but I won't quibble over one
second., which may have been just an anomaly.
Again, what are the
odds? But there is more.
5. Someone else noticed that Mark
13:20 is 2013 backwards.
Again, what are the odds? And what are
the compound odds for all the above? I cannot calculate.
6. For many reasons, Bible prophecy students all over the world
are looking for a near-term rapture, possibly between now and April
2014. A 2013 rapture is surely in that ballpark.
There is
just too much here to be accidental or coincidence. There is a rabbinic
saying: "coincidence is not a kosher word." I am hoping that this fellow
did, indeed, hear from God. If he did, time is about up. We could
be out of here in just days, or minutes, or seconds. I am
excited!
Come, Lord
Jesus!
Jim
