"Perry, I want to share a few thoughts with you."


I sent this to our pastor at Church 52.

Perry, over the last several days thoughts keep coming to my mind concerning the Middle East when I am in prayer.   This may or may not be what will happen, but I thought I would share it with you.

As you well know, there is now a total mess in the MIddle East between Israel and Hamas.  There is a big concern that Hezbollah to the north with its thousands of missiles may join in, and other Arab states too.

Well, here are my thoughts.  As we know, we are now 75 plus years from 1948, and from the "parable of the fig tree", we are the "generation" to see all end time events come to pass.  So, the minimum now between 1948 and the Second Coming is 82 years including the upcoming 7 year Tribulation.

Is that sufficient to constitute a "generation"?  I think so.

So, perhaps the Rapture is now very near, and immediately after the Rapture the antichrist appears on the global stage, and he is the one who brings this conflict to an end!   He would be viewed as a great world leader, and he then would make the Daniel 9:27 covenant with many nations to begin the 7 year Tribulation.  Everyone in the world would love and adore him!   Of course, some will come to the truth and eventually be martyred during the Great Tribulation.

Well, those are my thoughts coming to mind.  True or not?  I don't know.   Hope you have a great day in the Lord!

One final thought.  Recently as you know the U.S. Congress had hearings on UFO's, and they came to the conclusion that these are real, but they don't know where they are coming from.  Obviously this is preparation to explain away the Rapture when it happens, and not attribute it to anything in the Bible.

Blessings in Jesus,
Neil

P.S.  I am completing one round of 14 days of chemo today, then I get a week off, and then I still have two more rounds of 14 days each for chemo.  I feel lousy.  Often I have thought of Melissa and what she has gone through.  The Rapture soon would be most welcome!  A spanking new resurrection body sounds awesome!

P.P.S.  I welcome anything the Lord has shown you about current world events!
