This is neither a proveable doctrine nor a notion upheld by scripture!!! If it were, God is doing a lousy job with information dissemination! Again God intends and has determined 7 yrs being given to Satan! Not one day less or more! This notion or sacred cow has been perpetrated in the church since before I was born! I think it time to rethink this unfounded premise! Again as it diminishes the power of God! TR Seems to me that this notion has been conveniently robed and enshrouded by the premise of insider knowledge! TR I can easily understand why God would keep Christ's first advent and the formation of the Church secret. The famous verse 1 Corinthians 2:9, which has been misinterpreted to mean what God has for us in Heaven but is actually talking about the revelation of our Savior, which was hidden from the foundation of the earth, and referred to in Isaiah 64:4. But our exit doesn't seem to need this mystery to me. Satan has always had his man of the hour in waiting. Hitler is a great example. So he has been ready. I think the mystery of the timing has more to do with how we would respond to it, most likely in the same fashion as the early church did....sitting on the rooftops waiting. Our being not taken unawares is also a gift of God for His church and bride! Ergo why scripture supports the idea of a heads up! I may not always understand the full details of God's plans, but strive to apprehend the fullness of His heart! TR Indeed Apr is here! Recently it got me to thinking about our D.O.S. or our date of separation! My D.O.S. from military service was Apr 21 1977! Hmmm! TR
