September 2002 Update:
Its been over a year now. I thought I'd have more to say
about the anniversary of the September 11th attacks, but
I don't. Our nation is obviously being preprared for the
war that is about to be waged upon Sadam Hussein in Iraq.
The NASDAQ stock market hit 6 year lows today and unemployment
is almost 6%. Over a dozen Israelis have been killed in
the last week from the latest wave of murderous Islamic
'suicide bombers' who have dispatched themselves to Hell.
In response, Israel has all but destroyed the terrorist
Yasser Arafat's headquarters in Ramallah. Almost 50 people
have died here in the US from the West Nile virus this summer.
The government is talking about offering voluntary Small
Pox vaccinations soon. Over half the US is suffering from
the worst drought in decades if not 100 years. I understand
that church attendance is below pre-Sept. 11th levels. More
people are probably asking if there is any hope in all this.
God's judgement is his mercy, but many people don't see
it that way.
I believe God gave me a scriptural revelation the other
night while driving on the freeway, here it is:
The body of Jesus Christ was risen as a new, incorruptible,
glorified body early on the 3rd Day. So it will be with
the Body of Christ today, which is the Church. On the
3rd day the body, that is the church of true believers,
will be given new incorruptible bodies and will rise to
meet Christ in the air. The Rapture is nearer than ever,
but do not give any attention to anyone who says they
know the day or the hour, because God's Word says no one,
not even the angels, know what the day or the hour is....but
its near.
I believe that the 3rd day has already begun.
Hosea 6:1-2
Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After
two days he will revive us;
on the third day
he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
2 Peter 3:8
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the
Lord a day is like a thousand years, and
a thousand years are like a day. 9The Lord is not
slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.
He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but
everyone to come to repentance.
2000 years = 2 days to the Lord
2000 years since Christ is right about now.

What should we do while we wait for the Lord's return?
- Keep God's Word, don't just read it
- Walk in the Light, separate yourself from the world.
- Please God by the way you live.
- Witness to others, like Enoch who was raptured, tell
people "the Lord is coming"
- Persevere, look forward, don't turn back to the life
you've left.
- Be Humble
- Be Holy
- Be Blameless, make every effort to stay blameless and
pure.
- Be Watchful for the return of the Lord.
- Pray always
"Dear God in Heaven, please help me to live my life
in such a way that it is pleasing to you. Please consider
me worthy to escape the time that is coming to test this
world. In the name of Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen."
