After digesting the daily living instuctions, he decides that he needs to start educating himself on the the things to come. He then sits down and starts feverishly working on the laptop that Ray had left behind, he is trying is best to understand all of these notes that Ray had left but just doesn't get everything here. "Ray must have spent month's putting this together to be as complete as it needed to be for us to have a roadmap to the end of the tribulation period. Lord I pray that you give me understanding to what all of this means."
MD decided that his best coarse of action is to print off this material just like he did with his daily instructions, then mount them on the wall.....

After what seems to be hours of studying on the computer, MD starts to drift off into a dream state....
After what seems to be hours of studying on the computer, MD starts to drift off into a dream state....
"This is realy wierd", exclaims MD.
The Angel grabs MD and explains that they are about to take a journey into the past, "There is something that you must see.."
At the very next instant, MD and the Angel are standing on the side of this strange mountain. The Angel tell MD, "DO NOT SAY A WORD, JUST WATCH."
As MD peers over the mountain side, he sees this great band of man, they appear to be soldiers of a large army. As band of men start getting closer to the place that MD and the Angel were residing, MD could hear chants of hatred coming from the crowd. It's then that MD see's what really happening, they are beating a man and dragging him, kicking him, punching him. The appear to be absolutely relentless in their attack of this man. As MD is in total disbelief from what he is seeing, he murmurs under his breath, "Why are they beating this man in such a hanious manner?"
The Angel once again reminds MD, "YOU MUST ONLY WATCH, DO NOT SPEAK."
The Angel once again reminds MD, "YOU MUST ONLY WATCH, DO NOT SPEAK."
In absolute horror, MD watchs as if everything is suddenly in slow motion in his mind..
The band of soldiers continue to beat this man with whips and chains and boards with objects attached to them, the site of this man is so horrific that MD feels a great deal of nausia in the pit of his gut, as he can't stand to see the sight of this bloody mass of a man that continues getting closer to him.

Soon the man that is the object of the soldiers attention reaches the side of the hill that MD and the Angel are standing, and with a large gasp of air, and a feeling of pain in his gut like he has never expierinced in his life, shouts, "STOP BEATING HIM, WHAT HAS HE DONE TO DESERVE THIS???"
The Angel looks down to MD, and exclaims one more time," YOU MUST BE SILENT AND WATCH."
All the color has drained from MD's face as he watches the continued battering of this man, now laying on the side of the hill. The soldiers are all laughing and seem to enjoy every time one delievers a pulse pounding kick to the ribs, or one brings down the wrath of his whip across the back of this man, the soldiers are enjoying it to such a degree that to look upon them seems to envelop a sence of demonic terror at its highest degree.
Watching in horror as tears start flooding his face, like a river that has breached its levy, MD looks upon this man that is bloodied beyond anything comparible in his entire lifetime. The man laid there on the ground absoring all of this punishment, but never once made an attempt to defend himself, or to fight back. This made absolutly no sence to MD,... why wouldnt he defend himself? he starts thinking over and over and over....
The Angel looks down to MD to tells him, "IT IS TIME, this is what you are here to see"
The soldiers grab ahold of this bloody sack of human flesh that just seems to dangle limply off of the ground and slam him down on a long piece of wood, with huge hammers in their hands, they swing the hammers, slamming down into nails driving right through the hands of the man that they appear to hate with such high intensity...
MD watches in absolute amazement as the soldiers continue there quest by driving nails into both hands and into his feet, and with out care or concern for the man, JERK him up onto a post sliding him into a crucifix postion.......
MD shouts with tears streaming down his face..."I CANT WATCH THIS ANYMORE,,,TAKE ME BACK, TAKE ME BACK, I CANT WATCH THIS ANYMORE...."
The ANGEL rests his strong hand across MD's shoulder to offer comfort to MD for what he is witnessing, and comforts MD by adding.."We will be returning soon, just continue to watch."
MD shouts with tears streaming down his face..."I CANT WATCH THIS ANYMORE,,,TAKE ME BACK, TAKE ME BACK, I CANT WATCH THIS ANYMORE...."
The ANGEL rests his strong hand across MD's shoulder to offer comfort to MD for what he is witnessing, and comforts MD by adding.."We will be returning soon, just continue to watch."
As the man on the cross hangs there, in such obvious pain that NO man should ever have to endure....MD notices that there are two others on crosses as well, but they are not beaten to a bloody pulp as the one that he has been a witness too.
Just then, the man in the center of the three looks to his left and tells the other victem, "TODAY, YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE"
Just then, the man in the center of the three looks to his left and tells the other victem, "TODAY, YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE"
A short while later, the same man in the middle looks up and with a great shout..
"FATHER FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT"
MD drops to the ground in absolute horror from what he has just witnessed, crying uncontrollably to the point that he has no sence of where he is, or what he has just witnessed, all he knows is that he has just seen first hand the most terrible thing that anyone has ever been through, and yet MD knows in his heart that this man has done nothing to deserve the treatment that he had recieved.
The Angel gently bends over and with love and compassion helps MD back to his feet. The Angle then exclaims... "We are almost finished, there is just one more thing that you must see before we return."
Then just as fast as they arrived on the mountain side, they were in another place, it appears to be a valley or something, but is not quit sure how to put into words the description of the place. It feels so strange, such a peace about it like he never knew exsisted.... Then suddenly, with a loud sound, the sound of a trumpet in such a glorious tone,,, A stone fell away from the side of this mountain, and He appears.... The same Man that he witnessed on the mountain side.. This is the same Man that he just seen battered and bloody, now wearing a white garmet, so white and pure,,, standing right in front of him... MD knew instantly who He was and fell face first to the ground, crying... Forgive me,,, OH please God, Forgive me.....

Jesus reaches down to MD and say's to him.. "My son you are forgiven, you have been chosen to do a great servise in My name, I must leave now, I have other buisness to attend. You are from a time that will see Me come again, but until you see me, you must go to the place I have prepared for you and continue to do the work that I have given you, until I do return. There are many out there that need your help, so go now and I will see you again."
Snapping his head back, MD realizes that he was not just dreaming but it was a revalation from God, "We must be about our Fathers buisness and reach the lost... Time is so short"

Kerri and his wife Shannon were sitting in their quaint little kitchen talking about the events of the last several days. They were both students at the Baptist College and now the college had been closed because most of the professors had been taken in the rapture along with most of their good friends. Kerri had gotten a scholarship from his church and Shannon worked at a local law firm and attended night classes. Their parents had also been taken in the rapture and here they sat in disbelief that they had ignored all they had been taught growing up in the church and living in Christian homes.
Kerri and his wife Shannon were sitting in their quaint little kitchen talking about the events of the last several days. They were both students at the Baptist College and now the college had been closed because most of the professors had been taken in the rapture along with most of their good friends. Kerri had gotten a scholarship from his church and Shannon worked at a local law firm and attended night classes. Their parents had also been taken in the rapture and here they sat in disbelief that they had ignored all they had been taught growing up in the church and living in Christian homes.
"Shannon, we were wrong to question our family and friends' beliefs. Remember Professor Evans always told us that there are lots of ideology out there to explore and that didn't mean what we had been taught was the absolute truth. Well, he's sitting in his apartment almost insane from the thought that he was wrong. We had all the answers or so we thought, and now......it just makes my heart ache for the days we were so busy trying disprove that Jesus was the Son of God instead of trying to live for Him."
Shannon brought out her Bible and placed it on the table saying, "Kerri, I knew the day would come when we would have to decide whether to stand up for our parents beliefs or follow one of these whacky ideas the professor was always throwing out there for us to study. We read about Scientology, Mormans, Muslim faiths, all the different religions in the world, but not one of them made as much sense as believing in God and Jesus. We didn't have to do anything but believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and follow Him. Why were we so blind?"
"I've studied all my notes and reread Lee Strobel's, 'Case for Christ', and while he set out to disprove Christ, he accepted Him as the Son of God and became a Christian. You and I were going to a Christian college and yet we missed the message. What about all the others that got it wrong and missed it? We saw Andrew almost suicidal over the loss of his girlfriend and parents. He knew, he had been brought up just like us and yet we all turned away from the truth."
"Kerri, I don't think we can stay here because we know what is coming and we can't just sit here and be sitting ducks for the evil that is going to take over the world. Do you think we could head to Camp Windermere and see if anyone has gone their for refuge?"
"I would imagine the place would be closed, but we can try. What was the latest report from Oakland? I missed the last report while I was in the shower?
"I don't know, I turned the tv off because there was so much talk about the President saying we were going to have one religion, one ideology, and then I knew it wouldn't be long before things would start happening that would make it dangerous for any of us to claim Jesus as our Savior."
"Babe, we need to pack a few things and get out of here before they make it so we can't travel. George said gas was getting scarce and the cost was going through the roof. If we're going, it has to be now."
The two cleared the dishes from the table and rushed to pack whatever they could get into their little car.

After only a minute, that seems like an eternity. MD rushed upstairs to find his wife. The only thing on his mind was the dream he just had, it was racing though his mind like nothing he could ever remember.
Upon entering the office area.. he looked at his adoring wife and told Amy.. "No mater what, John 3:16 is what we are all about. All emails will end with this verse, every action that we perform will have this verse in mind and we will glorify God in everything, by keeping John 3:16 as our Goal."
John 3:16 - For GOD so loved the WORLD that he gave his only begotten SON, that WHOSOEVER believeth on HIM shall have EVERLASTING LIFE......
MD begins to tell Amy about the vision that he just had and how this alone has impacted his life, knowing that they are now post rapture and that time is short. "We must do everything in to glorify God and do our part for the bountiful harvest while God had given us the time to do it. We know that we are on a crash course in this world and our number one goal is to reach the lost. At some point we may not be able to do this, but as of NOW, we must do everything that we can. Now that the machine shop is operational, it will take care of itself. Our goal is to reach any that can come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ."

Lisa had never seen angels before. She had opened her eyes to look up as the young man had moved over a seat for her. Her mouth dropped open in shock and awe. She rubbed her eyes. Was she seeing things? The collisium was an open dome but she could see no sky or clouds, only a tremendous light. Angels with huge wings everywhere surrounding the opening in the dome. They were singing and praising God and smiling at her. She knew she was safe for the moment.
- Renee
__________________________________________________________________________
Lisa with eyes closed listened to the music and heard the young mans voice next to her calling out to Jesus, "Me too Jesus, Me Too. The angels above seemed to be clapping more loudly and praising Jesus. Lisa was aware that all the people in the collisium seemed to have been drawn here like her. She didn't realize that by the time they all departed they would be fully equipped for the dark days ahead of them.
- Renee
__________________________________________________________________________
Lisa watched as an older gentleman stepped up to the microphone. There was a quite hush that fell over the collisium. All the people began to take there seats in anticipation of what this man might say to them. " I am so thrilled to have so many new brothers and sisters who have found their way, not only to this collisium, but to the loving arms of our savior Jesus". The applause was like thunder as his words penetrated every man and woman there. He began to speak again as the applause calmed down. " I have been in deep prayer for all of you here today and there are still more on the way. Jesus has told me, we must wait upon Him so that we all may re-new our strength for the coming days. My name is Rabbi Abraham and I have come to know the savior these past three days". Another thunder of applause and praise was heard throughout the collisium. " I have much to teach you and prepare you for over the next 3 days but I must wait until the Lord speaks to me again and tells me that all have arrived." Another shout of thanksgiving could be heard throughout the collisium. " I ask you all to pray for me and continue to praise Him and give Him glory until we speak again. There are refreshments for each of you as you need them at each doorway. The angels will keep watch over each of you until I return to the microphone". As The rabbi walks to another doorway shouts of praise begin again and applause to the angels is deafening. Lisa kneels down and begins to pray for the safety of all who are yet to arrive and for the rabbi who would be teaching them soon.

The 60 year-old professor who had given most of his life to that old liberal college waited on the other side of that doorway for the Rabbi to come back. They had made this private office their prayer closet since meeting after his first announcement to all in the collisium. He had originally been alone and had prayed that God would send someone to help him with this enormous task. He had knowledge from all his years but had denied the truth of it and with heartfelt repentance had recieved forgiveness and a revelation of his now Lord and Savior. The Rabbi had had a similar revelation just after the vanishings. When he walked into the collisium it had been empty but he knew the Lord had brought him here for a purpose, but first he must learn fast and re-new his own strength for the days ahead and so he had met the professor who had also been led to this place. The professor now known to the people in the collisium as Brother Aaron was waiting with open arms as Rabbi Abraham re-entered the prayer chamber.
- Renee
__________________________________________________________________________
As Rabbi Abraham and Brother Aaron embraced inside that chamber they heard the thunderous voice of the Lord speak and they fell on their faces in that tiny little office. They held hands and began to pray as they were led by the spirit knowing that He was present with them. They trembled and shook as they prayed knowing their fear was the beginning of their wisdom.
Lisa raised herself up off the floor as did the others. The Lord had actually spoken to them. She stood in awe, her hands and voice raised up to Him. The thunder was so loud she could barely hear herself think. She glanced back at the door she had used to enter the collisium and saw lightning flashing everywhere. It was unbelievably bright. In the distance she could hear sirens.
- Renee
__________________________________________________________________________
She turned her eyes away from the door feeling nudged by the Holy Spirit to look up. As she did the angels began to sing to them singing, " Turn your eyes upon Jeeesus, Look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.".............everyone joined in as the angels continued................kneeling in His presence, with arms and eyes lifted up they could no longer hear the sounds of the world that had started to gather around the collisium.
As the angels continued to sing softly above their heads the thousands inside the collisium began to mingle with each other. Each told how they had come to this place and what had happened in their lives to bring them to such an awesome gathering. Each one speaking softly to their neighbors. Lisa listened as Eric spoke about what had happened at the church she had heard about on the news. Cassy spoke about her parents being there and how sad she had been about losing them. But now she was happy and rejoicing knowing they would be waiting for her. Lisa told them about her husband Mark and her twin daughters, Megan and Melissa. She too shared their excitement knowing she also would see her family again but also sharing with them things she had read in Marks Bible about the things they would go through in the days to come. The three joined hands and began to pray for the Lord to guide them and protect them in the future days. They also prayed for those still on the way, that they would arrive soon. They thanked God for raising up the Rabbi and Brother Aaron to lead them and teach them His ways. As they said their Amens they felt the warmth of the Spirit as it flowed through them. They looked up to see the angels smiling down.
For the second time the angels got very loud and began to clap and clap like there was no tomorrow. Lisa looked over at Eric and said " I wonder why they did that again?" Eric looked up and replied," you know, my Mom told me once that everytime someone got saved the angels would celebrate in Heaven." The angels appeared to look down and smile on them again.
In the chamber, Brother Aaron was deep in prayer non stop. Rabbi Abraham had his new bible open to the new testament. He was gleaning much as the Lord showed him the truth of what he had been blinded to. It was all coming together for him in a way he would have never believed. "So much truth, why didn't I see it before?" " Oh thank you Jesus for opening my eyes."
"Use me Lord for your Glory." He opened his eyes to see a countless number of angels smiling down into the collisium. He knew that his life was on a different course now and his life would never be the same again. His life had been so differnet 3 days ago. He thought he had accomplished everything that this life had to offer. How wrong he had been. He still didnt know what lay ahead but his life was no longer his and he knew this. He closed his eyes again reveling in his new found faith. He could hear the voices all around him singing in unison with the voices above. In the distance he picked up the sounds of sirens coming closer and closer but he felt secure within the collisium no matter what was occuring out in the streets.

Sarah sat drinking her morning coffee watching the latest news broadcast. They were showing images of the collisium and the whole world was seeing what she was seeing. Countless numbers of angels hoovering over the collisium. She could feel the excitement building in her as she watched. Cameras were unable to get inside the building, seemed something was holding them back but you could here the beautiful music coming from within and could see the angelic beings. "How could the world not believe after watching this?" she thought to herself. Putting her coffee cup in the dishwasher she hurried into her bedroom and got dressed. Grabbing her bible, purse and a sweater she looked out her window to the street below. So many ruthless people had been out last night and she was so grateful she had made it home safely. Everything looked calm this morning but she knew looks could be deceiving. She closed her eyes and silently prayed for Gods divine protection for the walk she was about to take to the collisium.

"SHOUT TO THE LORD ALL THE EARTH LET US SING ...POWER AND MAJESTY ..PRAISE TO OUR KING" Rang throughout the Colliseum
Outside things were starting to get tense...."Kyle we're not waiting anymore...Listen to that crap coming from inside...we came here to KILL and LET's get to it" Screamed one of "the crew" "Yea this is BS..what are we waiting for?" "Instantly one pulled out a gun and held it to Kyle's head....give me the suitcase NOW" "If you aint man enough to go through with it I AM"
"Dear God...what do I do?" Kyle whispered as he let go of the suitcase.........
meanwhile back inside
"Eric what is happening to us?" casey cries... It's like Fire shut up in my bones" "All I want to do is glorify Jesus" "I know I know...I am feeling that too"
Then starting out as a gentle rumble turning into one unified chant of "JESUS.....JESUS......JESUS.....JESUS.....JESUS... .JESUS" all across the Stadium ....."if I be lifted up I will all draw all men unto myself" Eric begins to shout!!
Outside...chaos is insuing.....The evil crew member who just moments ago placed a gun to Kyle's head and tore the deadly suitcase away begins to blurt out expletives....."we have got to make this stop" falling instantly down to his knees almost in submission .... he reaches back for the suitcase and with all the determination he can muster.... tries to open it up...BUT IT's LOCKED ....."KYLE the KEY" "give me the dang KEY" ....Kyle in deep urgency an anguish recalls "If you call upon ME you will be saved..."JESUS SAVE ME" he cries as HE throws the key far into the night.....Instantly gunshots rivet his body....the evil crew member stares coldly at Kyle's lifeless body...."what a freaking traitor"....he bends and begins to beat on the suitcase locks with the butt of the revolver....til he successfully opens it up....."HERE TAKE THESE" he barks ...issuing out the deadly spray cans. "Screw these people" ...but one by one the other members of the crew drop the cans .....The Power of the NAME OF JESUS being lifted up INSIDE ....is compelling them forward!
Inside the Sounds of the people lifting their voice in one accord towards heaven has illicited a response......it's starts as a sound as of a mighty rushing wind that begins to blow across the whole stadium!
Outside...the last of the willing evil Crew ...out of sheer hate filled desperation picks up a can and begins to run towards the entrance......just before entering the stadium...he pushes down the aeresol can ...and the instant the deadly chemical is about to release he runs head long into the Breath of GOD! The heavenly wind propels away the deadly spray from the arena landing nowhere but on the charging madman...in an instant his body convulses and he gasp his last breath!
Inside ...oblivious to this most sinister plot ...wrought to not.....the people of Christ drink in His Most Glorious Presence....................
(Kyle takes his seat in Heaven's arena above....forgiven and redeemed)

It's almost been a week since Jesus has called His Church Home.....Prodigals who had lived in rebellion for years ...now all across the globe run to and fro in desperation to come home...
For one part of our story we have a group of new believers convening in a former sports colliseum....BUT as you read this ...stop and think....CAN YOU IMAGINE...please try....IMAGINE ..just 7 days after JESUS comes back how dramatic life will have changed. How desperate would you be for hope? For answers?
If you are still here..and your lucky enough to still have a job...can you imagine driving to work...seeing cars abandoned ...along the roads? You turn on your tv looking for an escape but every channel you turn to...is interrupted by emergency news broadcast of stories running around the clock....Abandoned airplane crashes ...stories of day care centers now being desolate...interviews of Nursery workers out of jobs...elementary schools closed indefinitely ...All major sports canceled.....people you know are gone for EVER.....seriously FOREVER.....suicides are being reported non-stop..you go to the grocery store and shelves are bare...gas will skyrocket....we all have tripped out at 5 bucks a gallon but that will seem cheap....Katrina hit New Orleans ... and it's never going to be the same....but THIS....THIS Biblical Moment in Time...will change everything FOREVER...a countdown of 7 years will soon start...within that time ..will be a war upon people's souls with such ferociousness that people will seek death and find it not....
Satan will unleash every ounce of pressure he can ....his weapons not hindered as before...lust of the flesh..lust of the eyes..and the pride of life will be coming at you..or your friends and family with such intensity its almost impossible to describe.
But he has shown us a glimpse of what to expect...over 6,000,000 million lives in one short period of history.."the holocaust"..he took disdain of God's chosen ...he collects..then tortures..then incinerates.....he is a roaring lion seeking to devour....
THAT is what is ahead...THAT is what is to look forward too ....He who endures til the end shall be saved.....would YOU still care who is the next IDOL? will you still go the gym? knowing your only salvation is giving your life for Christ....will you still chill out playing your xbox 360? It will be time to stock pile..to read the bible and KNOW what is exactly ahead....a peace treaty with Israel...a man of Peace...Wars...Plagues...disease..brother will betray brother...Signs in the heavenlies....a new temple in Jerusalem...a mark to buy and sell...THOSE WILL BE STARING YOU RIGHT IN THE FACE.....you listened not when you had the chance to miss it before....Jesus had warned...."Watch and Pray that you may be found worthy to escape" but you didn't listen....will you listen NOW that you face a time in History called THE GREAT TRIBULATION........"REPENT" (call upon Jesus that you might be saved)...PRAY(spend all your time talking to Jesus as if He is right beside you HE IS)...WORSHIP(obey Him with your actions and spend time seeking His face) .... AND ENDURE(Fight the good fight and never renounce Him) that you may be SAVED!!!!!
