Now, I do not expect you to say, "It must be true because the Lord told him." No doubt I have produced scorn in many readers to this point.

No problem! But I will tell you that after having been deceived on a couple of occasions I pray every day several times that I will hear nothing or think nothing that is not coming from the throne of God in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Do you do that? Very useful these days because of the prevailing deceptions I have mentioned previously.

If you think you can't be deceived you already are deceived. I learned this the hard way.

It is interesting to note that some pastors have "preparing for the rapture" meetings in which the believers jump up and down next their pews. This would be funny if the results were not so destructive. A far better exercise during such a meeting would be learning to forgive those who have offended us. Can you agree with this?

Have you seen the pictures of the cars crashing into each other because the believers have suddenly disappeared? This is totally unscriptural and crazy.

Did you know that there is not one Scripture in the whole Bible that teaches Christ is coming to take His waiting bride to Heaven? Not one Scripture!

Why don't you pray and ask the Lord, just as I did? Do you hear from the Lord?

If you do you will find that the Lord will never talk to you about a pre-tribulation rapture to escape suffering.

Have you ever heard anyone prophesy about the pre-tribulation rapture? No, you haven't, and you never will. Why? Because it is not a burden of the spirit realm, it is a mental concept, a part of the destructive model of scriptural interpretation termed dispensationalism.

What is the Lord talking about these days? The Lord is talking about judgment on America if His people do not start keeping His commandments. He is telling us to get our house in order so we may be able to stand in the age of moral horrors that is upon us. He is advising us to lay up the good corn of His Word because we cannot fight our way into the land of promise while eating manna.

He is urging us to prepare our young people because an unprecedented anointing is going to come upon them so they can bear witness of Christ throughout the whole world.

He is telling us to be prepared for the greatest revival of all history as the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is preached for a witness to every nation.

He is telling us to work with the Holy Spirit as our worldliness, passions, and self-will are driven from us to prepare a place for the Father and the Son to inhabit.

He is commanding us to present our body a living sacrifice so we may learn to use the gifts and ministries He has placed within us.

To be continued.
