Thank you all for your supportive responses! Yes, we need to keep looking up with encouragement.  However, like Brad mentioned, I remember all of Chris's door knock confirmations ... the clock time confirmations ... the Fireman that absolutely and sincerely claimed that he received confirmations from God that we would be Raptured on Christmas ... CJ with his abominable plagiarisms and the old forum moderators telling us to be quiet because they absolutely loved and adored him ... all of the converging signs of the times, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum.   Yet, YET, we're still here.   Although some may have absolutely been sincere in their own minds, they were absolutely, sincerely, and sinfully wrong in their outcomes.  They perceived that God spoke specifically to them and yet it was their own flesh that sought attention.

On another note, I have followed 5 Doves for decades, but it has become way too much slanted toward numerology and astrological conjecture for my own tastes. Every week there are postulations about how the numbers align for "this week".  It is a sad state of affairs.  It has been tough, TOUGH, to read all these postulations, prognostications, and declarations every week for decades.   And for what purpose?   We're still, STILL, here.

When I saw what happened on October 7th, I was ABSOLUTELY POSSITIVE that prophecy had finally arrived in our own time and that Ezekial 38, Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, Daniel, Revelation, etc. would soon commence.

How wrong I was!!   I sincerely believed, and I sincerely was wrong.   We can't trust our mortal souls to provide us with truth.

However, I agree that the signs of the times declare that the times of the signs are RIGHT NOW. 

So let us continue to look up and let God be God and stop trying to figure it out in our own earthly minds -- it only leads to despair.

Your pal,

Humbly
