Thanks.

I think this is timely regardless of what happens Sunday. But it sure seems to be pointing to an authentic warning.

Given the state of numbed-out-ness; willful blind and deafness . . . . and just lazy sleepiness the Church in general and too many in specific are . . .

it might take a series of hard jolt wake-ups to even get folks' attention. Look how quickly even Christians went back to sleep and business as usual after even 9/11.

Agreed.

How few Christians are mindful of the parable of the ten handmaidens, of whom only five kept their lamps filled with oil, trimmed, and burning.

There's plenty to distract us from the Lord's business and from the signs of the times.

It's important to keep focused.

Let's come back to reality folks. Since when does a prophecy end with, "If Father's Day ends without anything happening then praise God and return home."? .. Imagine reading that phrase at the end of the Book of Revelation!

Since when does a prophet go on and on, using a variety of scriptures, attempting to justify himself as a prophet? A true prophet is established by being right, time after time, not by a litany of other scriptures. I am a firm believer in God's gifts, but according to 1 Corinthians, every prophecy needs to be judged by others.

I'm curious why this guy didn't notify the local paper. Living in the same city, I'd know it if he did.
