This letter was written to our family:
We know that some of you have thought that my messages about the coming of Jesus Christ to take His faithful ones up to Heaven are premature or nonsense. Now I still don’t know exactly when He will come, but I know it will be “sooner than you think”. These are Jesus’ words.
In late 2006 I received several prophesies from devout Christian people that 2007 could be the year. I ignored them at first. Then the messages got more intense and more frequent. By June many people were sure that He would be coming that year but didn’t know when. Finally it seemed to be narrowed down to late summer or early fall. Although His coming has been delayed, I still believe that He will come soon. Thus in 2008 I have stepped up efforts to try to bring more people to Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I won’t chronicle all the time employed to do this, but it was a lot. Of course without the Lord’s help, my efforts would not have achieved much. I may not have gone about it this intensely if I didn’t sincerely believe that His coming will be very soon. I still don’t know the day He will come, but Mom and I are ready. We know that He will come without any warning.
Based on information received more recently, I know for sure that Mom and I will be leaving this earth before long. Without knowing the day or the hour, I continue to give a lot of thought especially about those we know and love, to our wonderful past life, what we have and have done. I know that Heaven will be immeasurably more beautiful than our earth. But I continue to admire our yard and our home and neighborhood. I think fondly of all the trips we have had to simply gorgeous places, and the joy of seeing new scenery. I won’t miss any of this, but do cherish the memories. I will really miss those whom are not taken with us.
I think of people that will be left behind, with deep sorrow for them. Several billion people will have to cope with happenings way beyond anything they have ever had to contend with. Most of the world’s people have not lived as we have, with the protection of our magnificent armed forces, police and firefighters. We are so blessed. For this reason the shock of end times may be greater for those in our country.
Sometimes I take a mental inventory of our material goods and wonder what will happen to them. I hope that someone will be able to put them to good use. Naturally, no one can take their earthly possessions with them after they die.
The Bible has much to say about end times. Especially the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation written by apostles under God’s direction tell the story. Also, we are fortunate that many devout Christian writers have explained much about the tribulation and end-times. The book “Heaven Is So Real”, written under the precise direction of Christ is Jesus’ final word on what is to take place soon. We are already living in the end-time era. After Jesus comes in the clouds for his faithful, the tribulation chronicled in the Bible will begin. Satan will make it a hell on earth. Tribulation will begin soon after Jesus takes his faithful to Heaven!
Satan knows that his time to recruit followers is growing short so he will be working feverishly to convert as many to him as he can. Being totally evil, he can think only of doing more destruction. After Jesus takes to Heaven those throughout the world who have accepted Him as their Lord and Savior, Satan will have more freedom to do whatever he wants. He wants the souls of everyone left on earth. He will have more control of the world than he has today. Although he can only do what God allows, one of the purposes of tribulation is to test some of those left behind. I am not clear who will have this last chance to be saved, but those who have heard of Jesus but outright rejected Him are unlikely to have a second chance. Those who have not rejected Him, but also have not accepted Him as their Lord and Savior may.
In the tribulation, the devil will make it terribly hard to even exist if a person does not accept his mark ‘666’ and worship him. Initially he will prevent everyone not accepting his mark from buying or selling anything. Thus money will be useless for those who do not go along with him. They could face starvation after their food supply runs out.
Next, those that refuse the devil will be tortured and possibly killed. But those who resist him and pledge themselves to the Lord will end up in Heaven. The ones who worship Satan will have an easy time for awhile, but will be tortured while still on earth, then go to hell with him for an eternity of torture. Thus enduring some torture and death and not going along with Satan will yield an eternity with God in Heaven!
Satan will make it the easiest choice to go with him. Through miracles and black magic, he will convince many that he is God. It will be difficult to choose to follow our real God, but those who pledge to the Lord, will be rewarded beyond measure.
Now, to avoid all this misery, there is a simple choice to make. If you haven’t done this already, pledge yourself right now to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Confess that you have valued earthly pleasures, friends, even parents and things of the world above a love for God. Ask for His forgiveness and begin living as He wants you to. There is much information on faith in my office, besides the Bible which is the number one source.
As said in other writings, there is no down-side to pledging your life to the Lord. A love for God makes life so much more enjoyable. You may think you are happy and wouldn’t want to give up your life as you know it, but think hard about this. No matter what you now enjoy, your life on earth will be so much sweeter with the Lord. You can continue to enjoy material things and pleasures, but just don’t have them so important that you have no time for a loving relationship with God. He is there for you, all you have to do is ask. Then begin praying regularly. Reading the Bible will bring richness and great knowledge to you.
Although you may have ignored all my religious writings, I urge you not to ignore this letter. It may be my last one ever. Dad
