I believe I heard and saw all of this because God wanted me to. I also believe He wants me to tell others. When I first started telling this to people, I got a few strange looks and a few skeptical comments. I never thought I would receive the kind of cold, unbelieving and judgmental response that I am receiving today.
I hope that Christians will turn away from whatever is between them and the relationship that God wants to have with them. I believe it's time for Christians to come back to their true love. I have sensed very little Christian love from many of the replies to the message I bring.
In all respect, you are kind of doing an about face when you had posted a thread like this below:

I was raised in a church that taught the pre-trib rapture. I really never gave it much thought. I was lost and only went to church because my parents forced me. Then after 911, I started becoming more interested in geopolitical events and the prophecy that I heard growing up. Growing up in the church, I never read the Bible for myself. I always took for granted that the folks at church knew what they were saying, and would not misquote or misinterpret scripture in and way. At any rate, having read for myself all the scriptures, on which the pre-trib theory is based, then reading the surrounding verses, plus considering the description of end time events that Jesus details in the Gospels, I have come to the conclusion that this rapture theory ain't right!
But does it really matter? God will never place more on our plate than we can handle.
Bless you all in every way.
I mean, you say you do not believe in the pre trib rapture, but yet when you share your dream like that, you will probably get disbelief because that is what it sounds like you are saying. See?
I do not doubt the dream, but whethor or not you have changed your stance on the pre trib rapture, readers may see you applying that as what the dream means without saying that directly.
I believe in the pre trib rapture & God has answered your question about it, but I do not know if you have applied the meaning of that dream as His call for believers to look to the author & finisher of our faith to help them lay aside every weight & sin to run that race to attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, because if a saved believer does not depart from iniquity, they will be left behind as His wrath will fall on the "children" of disobedience.
Ephesians 5:
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words:
for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Luke 12:
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and
will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Hebrews 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Hebrews 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Salvation is not lost, but being not found abiding in Him will cause a believer to be left behind from attending the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in His honour.
Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Ephesians 5:11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
This is why believers are called to be ready but many will not heed that call to be found abiding in Him to be chosen for the King's Supper which is why God will be judging His House first by excommunication.
1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
May God cause the increase and enable those that read this to heed the call to go before that throne of grace now and trust Jesus as their Good Shepherd, to lead them in the way they ought to go in following Him as His disciple, walking in the light as He is in the light.
1 John 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin....9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 2:My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1 John 5:1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him....4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
So believers should not put off for tomorrow what they should be trusting Jesus Christ to do today, because He can come at any time like a thief in the night, so the call to be ready is now: not tomorrow.
