Messages from the grave?

Don't worry, I haven't gone psychic on you. Psycho maybe, but not psychic.

This morning I realized that we have two similar predictions from very recently deceased persons, both now with Jesus -- one a from little child in South Africa and one from a young man, probably in the U.S. I found both on Marilyn Agee's Web site. I reported the second one on April 18 but not sure that I have reported the first one.

Did the Lord make these dear departed ones privy to this special information to communicate hope to us before they left, (neither of which specify a "day or hour," but which still may be close)?

1. Here is the first one from South Africa, from Marliyn's Pro and Con (P&C) 451, February 6, 2000 http://www.kiwi.net/~mjagee/:

Yesterday my neighbor who is a school teacher (same school as my son Ryan was at) came to see me with one of the class mothers. This family was moving down to the Cape due to a business transfer, from the Orange Free State. On the 13 December 1999 the removal truck had taken their furniture through and the family set off with their two cars, Mother, brother in law and daughter in one car and Father, housemaid and younger daughter in the other. The car in which the Mother was driving was involved in an accident -- no other cars involved and no apparent cause. Tragically their 11-year-old daughter was killed. My neighbor told her that I was involved in a similar incident and that my son was also 11 years old when he was taken. This lady really felt that she wanted to meet me as understandably, she is not coping very well with the turn of events that her life has taken on. Last night through tears and talking I discovered that this little girl told her Mum persistantly that Jesus is coming for us in the year 2000. The Mum did not take too much notice of this and put it down to a spot of Millenium madness. She is now thinking about what her daughter had said, saying that indeed Jesus had in fact come for her very close to the year 2000. I think that the little girl was giving her a different message. She knew something that her Mum is not yet seeing. I hope and pray that the little girl is right, and that our Lord Jesus Christ will come for us in the year 2000, perhaps in May or June. I ask you also to pray that I may have the strength to help this family in some way.

(Note: The little girl departed BEFORE the year 2000, so that rules out her prophesying her own departure.)

2. Here is the second one from Marilyn's P&C 485. The person wrote:

"I really feel that it is time to warn people. My brother and I were talking about this before he passed away just this February (2000)...

"His funeral was eye-opening for a lot of people. The preacher told everyone that my brother felt the rapture was this June. The preacher didn't laugh. He just said that he respected someone that was looking for the return of Christ. And that judging by the things that were going on in this world he could be right. We should all just repent and be ready when he did come. There were about 50 people that got the message.

"I feel the Lord used my Brother to reach more people. He was only 34 but he had lived 16 years longer than ever expected. Born an identical twin he had open heart surgery at the age of 6. He was given a pig valve to replace his along with a Pace Maker. The doctors gave the pig valve 12 years. He went through 2 more open heart surgeries, and one more pace maker.

"In 1994 the doctors told him that he would have to be on the Heart Transplant List or he would die at any moment. He said, 'I am just leaving it in the Lord's hands.' He lasted 6 more years to the doctors amazement. My brother would cough up blood and just keep on trucking. He had to fight for every breath that he ever took. In his last days we were very close. I had found the Lord in a way that I hadn't before and he had gotten into it again. He got our cousin to accept the Lord before he left this place. He always told me that he felt his life was a time line. I just know that I will get to see him soon."

(Note: If the late brother's life was really a "timeline" as he thought, it's most interesting that he was reportedly age 34 when he died, or perhaps in his 34th year, like maybe 33 1/2. Depending on when his birthday was, he could have been born in 1967, or sometime in that same Jewish calendar year which began the preceding fall (1966 on our calendar). That Jewish year is when the "fig tree," Israel, "put forth its leaves" and added the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Golan Heights in the miracle Six-Day War, marking the last generation, according to Jesus.

Timeline? 1967-2000? Maybe 33 1/2 years, Jesus' age at His crucifixion. Hmmmm.
