8-cheth-Midnight:

When the hour strikes the Lord will make a short work on the earth...as a thief in the night...it will be unexpected, sudden, and quick. Christians who are watching for Christ to return will not be surprised. This will be on Sunday afternoon at 2 pm (M.S.T.) on April the 14 th, at midnight (Israel time) in the year 2002 on the anniversary of the Passover. Immediately prior to this, the sixth seal will be opened as evidenced by a shift in the Earth which will produce the heavenly sign of falling stars announcing His coming. The final sealing and rapture of the completed body of Christ will be finished before the winds of chaos can circle the world...before the shaking rocks fall...or the ships falter beneath the titanic waves ( fear is already taking hold of our leaders who know something about the imminent shift of the Earth and the facts as to Y2K...but like Captain Smith of the Titanic, they assure us that there is no need for panic). The word midnight occurs 14 times in the Bible and always suggests the events of the endtime. Firstly,"...about midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt" (Ex.11:4)...then "And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn.." (Ex.12:29...the Passover) ...and "Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill..." (Judges 16:3)...and "And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet." (Ruth 3:8)...and "she arose at midnight..." (I Kings 3:20)... and "In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand." (Job 34:20)...and "At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments." (Psalm 119:62)(22 verses of 8 sequential letters) (7+62+1=70) ...and "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him." (Matthew 25:6...a continuation of the Sermon on the Mount)...and "Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the Master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." (Mark 13:35-37)...and ...Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto Him at midnight..." (Luke 11:5)...and "And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of lthe prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open...would have killed himself...But Paul cried with a loud voice...he called for a light...what must I do to be saved...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house ...And He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway." (Acts 16:25-33)...and "...Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight...and Eutychus...fell down from the third loft, and was take up dead...and they brought the young man alive..." (Acts 20)...and "...when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country...And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls."...............................................................................................

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."(Mt. 24:36). Jesus always told the absolute truth and this was no exception. The Father, and Jesus in His God-hood, knew the exact time. And none other would be able to know it unless the Father chose to reveal it. The Father did not choose to tell everyone that these things would not take place for nearly two thousand years because He desired that they should be ever vigilent. Therefore, He signified, codified, parablized, and sealed the information to the glory of His foreknowledge and wisdom. Now, that the time is drawing near, it is the Father's will that His beloved should realize that "...it is near, even at the doors."(Mt.24:33) "...for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end...many shall be purified, and made white, and tried...and...the wise shall understand."(Daniel 12:9) "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. "(Daniel 12:4). God is here speaking to Daniel concerning His sons (not the world) which will be purified and made white and undergo tribulation (not God's wrath) and evangelize the world...and have their own Bibles...and see the things of Mathew 24 come to pass...and understand who the characters of Revelation are...and pray and seek His face like Daniel did in 553-2 b.c. when he understood the seventy years which had been sealed until then...and knowledge shall be increased. Look up...Look up...He wants you to know...now is the time...watch and pray! I am become a fool...one to point at and laugh and mock...no man knoweth...no man knoweth...Oh Father, if I ask for bread would you give me a stone? If I knock, will it not be opened? Is it not time? Righteous Father... you have given me the exact time...but now, I must give it back to you. It is yours to keep; and truly, no man knoweth the day nor the hour nor the year...Oh Father, I don't even know you...that I might know you and the fellowship of your sufferings being made conformable to your dear Son. Father, time and space are yours to shape and mold. I confess...I know not. Faith and hope may perish ( 00 ) yet Love will abide (Alpha and Omega) and be multiplied ( 2002 ). Father...this is a door of hope...a ray of light in the darkness...but if my heart now fail me, my door will open...and if the time come and pass, yet will I praise you the more...for you are the Clockmaker...and you alone are able to adjust the mechanism....your will be done for you are Worthy O Lord.
