I read his article.

He makes some very valid points, but there is one thing he and the other critics continue to say that is not (in my mind at least) factual. To wit:

Pinning all of our Rapture credibility and our hopes on a specific date (for whatever reason) is both foolish and irresponsible

I, and many others, are not (repeat, not) doing that. All my hope and faith in Jesus Christ will not vanish because I am still on earth on September 24th. Further, many of the September sign proponents have qualified their position that we are not sure what this means on God's prophetic timetable.

Even without this alignment in the heavens, I always pay extra close attention to events during God's feast days. I think we all should, since the feasts literally mean God's "appointed times."

I heard Ann Graham-Lotz (Billy Graham's daughter) state on Jan Markell's program that she marks her calendar every year during the Feast of Trumpet (Yom Teruah) because she feels there may be something to the Rapture being fulfilled on this date because Christ fulfilled 4 other feasts to the letter.

I think the zeal to "not be wrong" among some Christians is paralyzing them with so much fear that they are neglecting Christ's commandment to "watch!"

That’s good!

None of the things that Paul told the Thessalonians “must come to pass” have come to pass!

No falling away into total apostasy, no “man of sin” standing on the mercy seat (Holy Place) of the Ark of the Covenant.

These are big events. Admittedly, we are edging into the slippery slope of the Falling Away, but we ain’t seen nuttin yet!

Based on the 70 Weeks prophecy in Daniel, the Jews should have been able to calculate the date of Palm Sunday. Jesus wept because they didn’t. I, for one, don’t want to make Him cry again.

I keep looking up regardless. The only thing I can say about the whole date setting phenomenon is that it’ll all feed into 2 Peter 3:4 once September 24th gets here.

My faith, like yours won’t fail regardless. We are to watch and it’s what we’ve been doing and will continue to do.

I’m as hopeful as I’ve ever been to be honest.
Maranatha!
