Can you show me that from the Scriptures? That is why we did the web site, doweknow, so that informed people could write us and gives us "clues". I guess we are "Clueless in Florida". Please share any enlightenment you have received from the Lord with us. The Bible does command this of us:

Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

The Angelic Intervention

At some point in the future there is coming to the television screens of this world's people, great supernatural events never seen on this earth. You are invited to my website for all the details Today's headlines concerning the Middle East, especially Jerusalem, point to the climax of world history as we know it. Jesus Christ is about to reclaim the government of the nations.
Those who resist His return, will be rejected and destroyed. This sounds rather harsh, but keep in mind that for two thousand years Jesus has offered His love and forgiveness to all men.
There is coming a time of justice and judgment for those who reject His grace. It is near!
Read very slowly and carefully the inspired scriptures in Revelation 14: 6-10;
(6)"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, (7) Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (8) And there followed another angel, saying Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. (9) And the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, (10) The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb;"

Among many upcoming supernatural events, some would today say science fiction, will be the appearance of three angels who will manifest themselves for all men to see, no doubt on satellite television also. They will hover over the cities of all nations and proclaim the message of God to a lost world. They will cry with a loud voice and call people to repentance and faith in the soon to return Jesus Christ; they will point out to everyone who great Babylon (America) is; and warn all against taking the mark of the beast.(666)

Several years ago, Hollywood produced the sci-fi movie "Independence Day" which chronicled the events surrounding an alien invasion to take over the government of the earth. It very cleverly showed how the entire world united behind the American President, to successfully repel the invasion from outer space.

Hollywood, which is a major spokesman for satanic deception, obviously doesn't understand its role in endtime events and prophecies. Satan knows of the above prophecies of Revelation 14 and is preparing his version and ultimate counterfeit. He knows about God's angels, he even knows them personally and by name. They all used to work for him before he rebelled and was thrown out of Heaven. Those angels who followed Satan in his rebellion, will also in the future manifest themselves publicly, even before the television cameras.

When the rapture takes place and Gods' true church is removed supernaturally from this earth, Satan will move in with his "great lie" to explain the sudden world wide disappearance of people. Part of the lie will be that UFOs came and took away all the "bad guys" and then the new agers will begin their celebration. But, to the unsaved Christians left behind, one of Satans' fallen angels will appear as "Mary", the Queen of Heaven. This fallen angel will proclaim that Jesus indeed came and removed all those Christians who were divisive and misread the prophecies of how God's kingdom would be established on the earth. "Mary" will call the religious world to unite behind the American President and the Pope to establish God's
kingdom.

Today the Pope is heralded by the media, another satanic tool, as the world's number one Christian. When the rapture happens, the President and the Pope, who have not been removed by Jesus, will obviously not repent and admit that Jesus took the "good guys" and that they were unsaved. So "Mary's" message will be just what the doctor ordered. Together, they will fulfill the roles of the Beast and False Prophet of the book of Revelation. Their end is described in Revelation 19:20 as the first two inhabitants of the Lake of Fire.

With all these supernatural events on the radar screen, about to take place, beginning with the rapture, more and more people will become believers that truly "someone is out there." So, the final end game question remains: Will people believe in the returning Christ from Heaven or accept the emotional patriotic call to take the mark of the antichrist? Sincerely, Jack.

Babylon The Great Is Falling

As I've said, I believe that Jack's web site serves a purpose in that it is a part of the interest in end-time events that cropped up with the year 2,000. However, his site is also a part of the confusion accompanying this interest.

In way of explanation let's go back to the time of our Lord's visit to His planet. Just before He was born in a manger, there was a similar "stir" about a visit from Israel's Messiah. John the Baptist was heralding His appearance, and the people of Israel asked him was He the Christ.

Not only was Jesus being expected in Israel, but the wise men of the east were looking for his appearance, as was the ungodly King Herod. Part of the confusion around our Lord's Visitation was the fact that the general expectations of the Israelites were not in sync with the purposes of God. Most Jews expected their Messiah to come as a strong leader to set up a kingdom for them during their life time. Even his most devout followers had trouble understanding that He had come to establish the spiritual Kingdom of God—and that His earthly kingdom was for a future date. Much of this confusion came about because they were not aware of the "peaks of prophecy." That is, they were ignorant of the Kingdom Age to come that was so beautifully prophesied by their prophet Isaiah and others, nor were they aware of the valley between the two peaks, which in retrospect, we know to be the Grace Age in which we now live. They could not see beyond their own time and needs; consequently, they tried to make Christ fill both the prophecies of the suffering Messiah, led like a lamb to slaughter, and the returning King who will rule the world with a rod of iron.

We have a similar situation today. The church world is nervously wondering about the prophesied return of the One which justifies their existence. The political leaders are aware of the belief of the religious world, often finding themselves caught up in the hullabaloo. Even Hollywood is aware that the earth is expecting another visit from Israel's Messiah, the Son of God; but they, too, have a confused view, the religious world being their source of information. As it was at the time of our Lord's Visitation (birth-ministry), we again see confusion because the leaders in the church are trying to make all of the remaining prophecies for man come to pass at the end of our age. They fail to comprehend that at the end of the Kingdom Age, there will be another time of tribulation and judgment very similar to the one to take place at the end of our age, yet with some necessary differences. Add to this the sci-fi coloring of Hollywood and you come up with the "end-time words" that are flying around. Of course, the web being the tool of communication that it is, many of these "end-time words" have found their way into a multitude of web sites.

As I read Jack's WRAP, it seems to me that it would make a good script for a Hollywood movie. It has some things that sound legitimate, but one has to wonder where in the world most of his comments come from. I don't see them as coming from the Bible.

WE CERTAINLY ARE TO BE MINDFUL THAT THE BIBLE DOES TEACH ABOUT AN END-TIME EVENT, AN EVENT THAT WILL OCCUR WHEN GOD IS TIRED OF MANKIND IGNORING HIS SON AND TRAMPLING ON THE BLOOD OF THE SAINTS THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE. HOWEVER, WORRYING ABOUT THIS TIME WAS NOT WHAT GOD COMMANDED US TO DO!!! WE WERE COMMANDED TO: "…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).

IF WE ARE NOT DOING THIS GREAT COMMISSION, FERVENTLY, THEN I SINCERELY DOUBT THAT GOD IS GOING TO TRUST US WITH ANY GREAT REVELATIONS.

FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE DISCIPLE CAME TO JESUS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR EVENT ON GOD'S TIMELINE, JESUS GAVE THIS REPLY:

("But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only" Matthew 24:36. "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come" Matthew 24:42.) THE WATCH THAT WE ARE TO KEEP DURING THIS GRACE AGE IS THE GREAT COMMISSION. WHY ARE WE SO CONCEITED TO THINK THAT GOD WILL REVEAL THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT IN TIME TO US, WHEN JESUS DID NOT EVEN KNOW.

JESUS LAST WORDS ON EARTH, THE BOTTOM LINE IF YOU PLEASE, WAS THE GREAT COMMISSION. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WE HAVE PUT UP OUR WEB SITE. PEOPLE WERE CRYING, "The end is coming," AND VERY FEW WERE {ARE} CONCERNED WITH THE GREAT COMMISSION. FOR THE PAST FEW DECADES, MOST HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE "PROSPERITY" MESSAGE. IF PEOPLE REALLY BELIEVED THAT IT WAS ALL GOING TO END, THEN WE WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN THEM RUSH, RUSH, RUSHING TO GET MATERIAL GAIN. THEIR HEARTS WOULD HAVE BEEN BROKEN FOR THOSE THAT WERE "LOST" AND THEY WOULD HAVE WITNESSED, WITNESSED, WITNESSED SO OTHERS WOULD NOT GO THROUGH THE TIME OF WRATH TO COME.

IF THE "PROSPERITY" MESSAGE WAS A SOVEREIGN MOVE OF GOD, THEN WE WOULD HAVE SEEN A SOVEREIGN MOVE OF THE SPIRIT ON EARTH. IF THERE WERE THIS MIGHTY MOVE OF GOD, THEN AS THE CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT CLIMBED UP LIKE A TOWER AND THE WORLDLY MOVEMENT CLIMBED UP LIKE A TOWER, AND EACH GREW MORE POWERFUL, THEY COULD NOT HAVE CO-EXISTED PEACEFULLY. BUT WE SAW THE MEGA MINISTRIES CLIMB ALONG SIDE THE SINS OF THE WORLD. WE SAW SOME MEGA-MINISTRIES TOPPLE BECAUSE THEY WERE FOUNDED UPON THE "PROSPERITY" MESSAGE. THEY SEEMED TO HAVE VERY LITTLE IMPACT UPON THE SINS/PERVERSION THAT WERE RISING INTO THE U. S. IN FACT, WE SAW OUR U.S. CHURCHES EMBRACING LIFESTYLES THAT HERETOFORE HAD BEEN CONSIDERED UNDESIRABLE AND FORBIDDEN BY SCRIPTURE. AS A RESULT, SIN DID A VERY RAPID CLIMB ON THE UPWARD SPIRAL. WE DID NOT SHOW FORTH THE CHRISTIAN MESSAGE OF LOVE, WE BROUGHT TO THE WORLD A MESSAGE OF "COLORED HAIR," "COSMETIC /CHARISMATIC CHARM," "CANNED MESSAGES / MUSIC" AND "STARDOM." SORRY, GOD SAID TO GO PLOW. THERE CAN BE NO "COUCH POTATOES". IT STILL IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE, FACE-TO-FACE, PERSONAL WITNESSING! ("Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest" John 4:35. "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" Luke 9:62.).

NOT ALL MINISTRIES "CRASHED AND BURNED", HOWEVER. THOSE THAT SURVIVED WENT BACK TO THEIR FIRST LOVE, I.E. THE GREAT COMMISSION. OTHERS WENT ON TO APPEAR ON TALK SHOWS, (ONE WAS ON A "CROSS-DRESSERS" PROGRAM). MEANWHILE, THE SPIRAL OF SIN THAT HAD GROWN HIGHER AND HIGHER, REMAINS UNCHALLENGED AND SEEMINGLY UNSTOPPABLE ON THE WORLD SCENE.

SO, WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE REAL REASON WE ARE PERMITTED THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING BORN AGAIN AND CALLED AN "HEIR OF GOD THROUGH CHRIST JESUS." THIS WAS SO THAT WE COULD SHARE THE "GOOD NEWS" WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD, I.E., THE GREAT COMMISSION. GOD WILL KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE, NOT US!!! THANKS FOR WRAPPING!!!

I WAS SO BLESSED TO FIND THIS SITE. I WAS READING IT AND I STOOD WITH MY
MOUTH OPENED IN AMAZEMENT. I ALWAYS WANTED TO UNDERSTAND THE BOOK OF DANIEL, BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYONE TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME. IT HAS BECOME CLEAR HOW THE BOOK OF REVELATION COMES INTO PLAY WITH THE BOOK OF DANIEL. I'M STILL A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THE WEEKS (70 WEEKS) BUT I THINK WITH PRAYER AND CONTINUING READING YOUR SITE AGAIN I WILL UNDERSTAND IT. IF THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE I CAN READ TO CLEAR IT UP A LITTLE MORE FOR ME I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

GOD BLESS YOU AND CONTINUE THE GREAT WORK YOU ARE DOING FOR THE

LORD....MARANATHA, PRAISE GOD

Please understand that we wrote these with the idea in mind that WEDONOTKNOW everything that is in the Bible. We were especially concerned at the turn of the millennium when so many people were expecting a catastrophic event from God due to "date setting" by self-appointed experts. Consequently, we've asked people to consider that if the Jewish calendar were used for dating any of God's events, for example, then it would not coincide with the calendar used in the U.S. We then submitted that God does not have to honor a Jewish calendar or any other calendar, that He has His own numbering system WHICH HAS NO ERRORS, and that His Word is dated with His own calendar. With various problems like this in mind, we put up our web to challenge people to look further for the truth.

I have to admit that the 70 weeks just crosses my eyes when I read it. I guess the following Scripture might apply here.

This passage can only be understood by revelation from the Holy Spirit. Do we have all the revelation? Certainly not!!! But we do have the common sense to know that all that can be gleaned from the Bible has not been accomplished. It fact, we have gotten lazier and lazier in Bible study these last few decades. Oh, yes, we have read "cutsey" books by many writers that "lull us to sleep" with easy reading and anecdotes. Often these come from people's personal experiences; which may be genuine, but doesn't wisdom dictate that to study the WORD OF GOD, shouldn't we go first to the Bible. There we read where Paul had a personal experience on the Road to Damascus, but we find him having to go "aside" to study before he had anything to say that would profoundly change the Christian world.

Remember, God never commanded us to "study another man's books to show ourselves approved." We can most certainly read them as a personal witness, from them to us, and they can complement our Bible study. But it is the writings of the Bible that we are commanded to study to so that we can show ourselves approved unto God.

Only the Bible can truthfully say of itself that it is without error, that it is settled in heaven, and that all written therein shall surely come to pass. This is because those who wrote it were not trying to impress people with their writings—nor were they trying to make money. They were totally consecrated to God so that He was able to use them to record His Words. Sometimes they wrote with understanding, and sometimes, as with prophecy, they wrote without understanding, simply recording what they were told.

Am I slamming all books written about the Scriptures? No, but when we only read books written in the last few decades, we are letting another person be our "priest"—if you please—when we do not study the Holy Scriptures for ourselves. But it should not be this way; for the Bible says that we already have a High Priest: i.e., Jesus.

Again, why should we study the Bible in preference to the recent writings of man? Because the Bible has stood the test of time, whereas the writings during the last few decades may or may not hold up as being factual. For instance, take the prosperity message that became immensely popular during the seventies. It has not stood the test of time because it left out a Biblical prerequisite to Biblical "prosperity."

The people that sought His kingdom first, have gotten and still have their "prosperity." Those that tried to use the principle of tithing and giving to attain "prosperity" did not acquire true riches, but frustration. Oh, some who bought into this message may have used their God given talents to gain earthly riches; but this they could have done without trying to obligate God. God is not something one can "use" to gain worldly comfort. He is someone that has to be put first and "followed" to gain the true wealth which not only includes our every day needs but the peace of God that passeth understanding, as well. Perhaps their prosperity was not monetary wealth at all, but love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, meekness and faith. Perhaps it was a mental, emotional or physical healing. One cannot function if they are ill.

Let me sum up with the words of the Apostle John:

Again, we are not saying that no one should read any book but the Bible; for God calls men and women to teach His Word and many who have the gift of teaching are led to put their teachings in books. We want people to read our DOWEKNOW to spur them on to further searching of the vast, undiscovered truths of the Bible. We are saying that the Bible must come first and that all other writings must pass the test of agreeing with the Scriptures and of being anointed by the Holy Spirit. We have done all we can to be sure that our teachings agree with the Scriptures; and from your WRAP and many others we feel that the Holy Spirit is drawing men and women to our site and anointing its teachings. For this we thank Him and Praise Him.

Thank you for taking time to WRAP with us. Your words have been encouraging.

DON WROTE:

I know of no other teachings on Daniel's 70 weeks that lets the Scriptures all fall into place; but I am satisfied that if you will rely upon the HOLY SPIRIT to teach you as you study the BIBLE, He will show you more on the subject. When He does, feel free to share it with us.

DON WROTE AGAIN:

Ooops!
