THE HOUR OF PREPARATION

In this special writing we will discuss several important matters! – One is the hour of preparation. As the Scriptures say, “Be ye also ready, for in such an hour when it looks like the Lord is not going to come; it is the hour in which He will come!” Matt. 24:44, “For in such an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh!” – “So now He is making His Salvation available to all who will call upon Him!” – I John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” – Isa. 55:6, “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near!” – He is full of compassion to forgive sins to those that repent, and He will abundantly pardon all who do! (vs. 7) Before the book of Revelation closes it says, “Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely!” (Rev. 22:17) . . . “This is our hour to witness by mouth and publication and in any form that the Lord makes possible for us to reach the lost! – The most wonderful thing that will ever happen in a person’s life is when they receive salvation! It is the key to all things that God has for us in the present and in the future! This is the hour of urgency, to save all of the souls possible in the short period we have left!”

“Several years ago I had a vision, and I was standing somewhere near a seashore. And saw such a great huge wave of pure sparkling water, a tremendous high forceful wave. And I just stood still. Instead of the water hurting me it just went right over the top of me; and

• could see it going across the land in huge leaps and bounds! . . . And I felt in my heart a great restoration revival of salvation and healing will appear again across the land! Not only in miracles, but with great emphasis on salvation of souls!” . . . “For God will pour out His spirit profusely! And on the other hand it may have a double fulfillment wherein those who reject God’s last day move and salvation may well be destroyed by literal waves of water and storms! – And in another instance I also saw a wave of beautiful glory rolling across heaven, and the words given, “Behold, I come quickly!” (Rev. 22:12)

“The expectancy of the believer is to see many souls swept into the kingdom of God before the closing of the age! – Joel 2:28-29 speaks of a mighty outpouring of the spirit. This was not limited just to Israel, because it said, upon all flesh. And this is to take place at the end of the age. We know that not all flesh will accept it, even though it is poured out upon them! – But those who do will be caught away with the elect in the Translation!”

James 5:7, “Indicates that the great harvest of the earth must await the early and latter rain! Surely the time of this fulfillment is upon us now! . . . Plus one can see how important his prayers and giving has been to help bring in this harvest of souls! . . . Not only that, but to know that many are and will be delivered by healing miracles!” . . . “Not only does James chap. 5 reveal about the latter rain, but it reports other events that are to occur at that time!” – vs. 3, “reveals a world system of money heaped together! vs. 4 reveals a capital and labor struggle at the time leading to the mark! . . . vs. 5, reveals the pleasure of those people. vs. 6 reveals what they did to many people!” – vs. 7, “revealed it was a time to have patience because the Lord waiteth for the precious fruit until He receive the early and latter rain! – And then it said again to be patient, for right at this time the Lord came!” (vs. 8) – “We have had the early rain, we are now entering the wave of the latter rain! A quick short work!”

“Jesus is definitely coming again! And when He does it will be the greatest event that has happened since He left the first time!” – “Let us check the trueness of the Scriptures! – The ancient prophecies in the Bible confidently declares many centuries in advance that Jesus’ coming to earth would be as a humble baby! – They foretold that His mother would be a virgin! (Isa. 7:14) – They fore-saw with absolute accuracy various aspects of His ministry, of His death, His burial and His resurrection! His prophetic word even gave the time of His death!” (Dan. 9:24-26) – “All of these things came to pass just exactly as the Scriptures predicted. And the same prophecies that foretold Jesus would come the first time, also declared He will come again revealing Himself in glory!” . . . “Since they were definitely right in their first forecast you can be absolutely certain they will be right concerning His coming again! – In fact the prophecies of this are infallible!” – “So at the midnight cry, Be ye also ready!” (Matt. 25:6, 13)

“Just before His return we should expect the Lord to do some of His most marvelous and wonderful miracles that His believers have ever seen! For the Scriptures proceed to say He will do a strange and marvelous work! – Let us see what He has done in the past when He was taking His people out!” – “There is a wonderful miracle recorded that has often been overlooked!” . . . It is found in Ps. 105:37, “He brought them forth also with silver and gold.” It revealed He met their needs, and gave them health and healing! – In no other instance in history do we have anything like this. “There was not a sick person, nor a feeble person among all the tribes of the nation. And the cloud and the pillar of fire brought them out!” – “What a restoration revival they had!” – “Now in our age we should anticipate some incredible miracles also. We do not know in all the various ways that He will work, but we do know it will be some magnificent and splendid wonders!” – Remember Jesus said in our age, “That all things ‘are possible’ to him that believeth!” – “So let us prepare in faith for what He has for us!”

Jesus said, “This generation shall not pass away until all of this be fulfilled!” – “And I definitely believe He is coming in our generation! And He will guide us in future events, and in the events of the Bible that are yet to be fulfilled! – He is coming soon, you can count on it!”

Luke 21:33, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away!” – “We are living in an exciting and tremendous era! Bible days are here again! We are living in a time of refreshing rest and power to the believer! . . . It is the age for the preparation of Translation! – The hour of joy and exploits!” – “Watch for more wonderful works of the Lord to appear!”
