To God be the Glory!

      This book is a sequel or a follow-up to the book We Are Almost There! In the book We Are Almost There!, we were able, by God’s mercy, to show that the Bible teaches with absolute certainty that the beginning of the day of judgment, which coincides with the day of the rapture, is May 21, 2011. God has made this startling information available to us precisely as He had promised. In Ecclesiastes 8:5-6, God declared:

. . . a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment . . . to every purpose there is time and judgment, . . . .

      Throughout the church age, God had hidden this time information, and an understanding of God’s judgment plan, from all of mankind, including the churches. And in addition to that, God placed many statements in the Bible that taught that Christ would come as a thief in the night. This was done to keep the churches focused on sending the Gospel into the world (see Acts 1:6-8).

      Because the time information is tightly linked to God’s judgment plan, God’s judgment plan was also altogether wrongly understood throughout the 1,955 years of the church age. However, it is God’s purpose that during these closing years of the earth’s existence, the true believers are to warn the world of God’s timetable and His intention to destroy this world. He has given the true believers a great amount of precise information concerning the details of the time of the end of the world. Because of the tight link between God’s timetable for this awesome event and the judgment, He has also given the true believers a great amount of detailed information concerning His judgment plan. God has given this informa-tion to the true believers so that they, like Noah and Jonah, can warn the world of this impending disaster.

      This end-time revelation of time and judgment is evidence of the unfath-omable love and mercy of God. How many people in the wicked city of Nineveh would have cried to God for mercy if the prophet Jonah had simply told them that someday, the God of Israel would destroy them because of their wickedness? How many people in the churches are crying to God for mercy because they have been taught that someday, Christ will come as a thief in the night?

      As a matter of fact, the teaching that Christ will come as a thief in the night is a very comfortable teaching. The church age began over 1,900 years ago, and Christ has not come to end the world’s existence. Therefore, people can rea-sonably believe that it is highly unlikely that He will come in our lifetime. Whether they realize it or not, people in the churches, about two billion persons, have de-veloped a love for this world. Except for things such as warfare and pestilence, this world is a wonderful place to live. It is here that mankind can find friends, happiness, careers, pleasure, purpose, etc. It is not a perfect world, but people would surely rather live in it than die and lose all of that potential. Thus, they do not want to think about this world coming to an end.

      And so, except for the true believers, who are aware that God has given a precise time for the end, and who believe with all their heart that it is true and accu-rate, the rest of the world will insist either that Christ will come as a thief in the night, or that the end of the world will not come as long as mankind continues to solve problems, like global warming, etc.

      This book, therefore, will be read and appreciated only by those who truly trust God and realize that it is a great blessing and the mercy of God that He is supply-ing this information to those who fully trust the Bible.
