“Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.”
~ Revelation 16:15
Hi James and Ellen,
At the end of 1978 and the beginning of 1979 – which was a little over four months after your grandmaa, grandpaa, dad and Aunt Lynn arrived in Santa Cruz, Bolivia – which was at the end of August in 1978, a natural disaster occurred along the railroad line that runs between Santa Cruz and Bolivia’s boarder with Brazil. Several guys, gals and kids were killed from the flooding that was caused from a continual rainfall that lasted for several weeks and which was followed by a torrential downfall that caused water – in five different places, to cascade in pounding flumes over the sides of intimidating bluffs that overlook the railroad line that is between Portón and Chochis. As cataracts of water poured down from the tops of the majestic mesas that are between Portón and Chochis to the brooding buttes’ bases, five growing pools of churning water began to push muck and rocks down towards the towns of Portón and Chochis and towards the houses that were located near the railroad line that is between Portón and Chochis. About a month after this natural disaster took place in the area of Portón and Chochis, your grandpaa and two other guys – Tim Eckel and Brandon Proullson, went by train to deliver clothes and money to the evangelical damnificados or survivors of this natural disaster. Tim, Brandon and your grandpaa – to get to Chochis, had to walk the seven kilometers from Portón to Chochis. Tim, Brandon and your grandpaa had to walk down into and then back out of four of the deep ravines that had been cut into the ground by the rampaging water. The awesome force of the roiling water in places left railroad tracks suspended in midair. What took place in and between the towns of Portón and Chochis at the end of 1978 and the beginning of1979 is a microscopic real life visual of what has been programmed to take place someday. That someday could be any day. It could be today.
Revelations 16 is about the horrifying day when planet Earth’s inhabitants will experience a devasting plague that will scourge planet Earth. Your grandpaa believes that planet Earth’s residents on this appalling, castigating day will not be Christ-follower guys and gals – that the guys and gals who will suffer from what will happen on this day will all be Satan’s beast’s followers. These guys and gals will all be worshippers of the beast’s image and they will all have been marked with the mark of the beast. A dragon and a false prophet will be the beast’s co-conspirators. Three demonic frog-like spirits will have the power to perform miraculous, God-like signs. Planet Earth’s surviving populace of guys and gals will already have come under the beast’s subjection when seven bowls of wrath – that God – as God the Father, will send, are poured out on planet Earth’s residents, on planet Earth and on the universe. Seven angels will each have a different bowl of wrath that each angel is to pour out on planet Earth’s residents, on planet Earth and on the universe. The bowl of wrath that the first angel will pour out on mankind will cause ugly, painful sores to break out all over the bodies of the guys and gals who are worshipping the beast and who have been marked with the mark of the beast. The bowl of wrath that the second angel will pour out into the sea will cause the sea to turn into blood causing everything that is alive in the sea to die. The bowl of wrath that the third angel will pour out into the rivers and springs will cause the river and spring waters to become blood. The bowl of wrath that the fourth angel will pour out on the sun will give the sun the power to scorch with a searing, fiery heat the guys and gals who are going to still be alive on planet Earth. The bowl of wrath that the fifth angel will pour out on the beast’s throne will cause an overwhelming darkness to overpower everything and cause the guys and gals who are still alive on planet Earth to gnaw on their tongues out of agony. The bowl of wrath that the sixth angel will pour out on the Euphrates River will cause this mighty river to dry up leading to the kings from the East meeting up at Armageddon for the ultimate super battle – which will be between good and evil. The bowl of wrath that the seventh angel will pour into the air will bring about possibly a ‘new earth’ into existence. Whatever this new momentous moment is, it will be celebrated with lighting flashes, rumblings, thunder peals and the kind of colossal earthquake that will never have been felt before. This super earthquake will split the great city – which is the city of Jerusalem, into three parts, it will cause cities everywhere to collapse, it will sink every island and it will level every mountain. The final plague that God – as God the Father, will send to planet Earth will have massive, monster hailstones weighing 100 pounds in it that will fall on the guys and gals who are still alive on planet Earth.
If you do not want to be around when God – as God the Father, sends seven angels to planet Earth – with each angel having a bowl of wrath, you need to do what God – as God the Spirit, breathed on John to write in verse 15, ““Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.”” Your grandpaa leans towards believing that God – as God the Son, will return to planet Earth to save the guys, gals and kids who God – as God the Father, specially elected for Himself before He created the cosmos to be His adopted kids, before God – as God the Father, sends the seven angels with wrath filled bowls to wrack judgment on the guys and gals who He is going to have stay in Satan’s camp – because these guys and gals are Satan’s to begin with, because they only know to curse Him and because they are unable to repent of their sinful nature. Do you think that God – as God the Father, may be on the verge of wrapping up His universe?
