I just got a call from Dr. Neil Lipkin, orthodontist friend in Indiana. There was an unusual excitement in his voice. I knew something had happened.

Neil is a Messianic Jew, a long-time Bible student and teacher, totally committed to Messiah Yeshua, and a very sharp fellow. He believes the rapture is extremely near.

He said he was sound asleep during the night, early in the wee hours of the morning of today, November 20, 2001, when all of a sudden his wife, Cynthia, started shaking him strongly to wake up. He awoke, startled. Cynthia had already been up, working in the kitchen.

As he opened his eyes from the shaking, Neil noticed that said Cynthia was "really freaked out," he said. She began to tell him what had just happened to her. While she was working in the kitchen, she said, just out of nowhere she suddenly began to hear voices. There were no humans around, so they could not have been human voices. She could not understand what they were saying. Neil tried to describe to me what the voices sounded like, as she described it to him, and all I can say is that they sounded like loud whispers where none of the words were discernible.

Suddenly, out of those soft and muffled voices, Cynthia reported that she heard a male voice, very clearly and distinctly. The voice said, "IT’S JUST ABOUT TIME." That’s all he said. But as soon as those words were heard, all the other voices suddenly shushed and ceased.

This happened at 4:30 a.m., November 20, 2001. End of story.

It is noteworthy that while Cynthia is a Christian, she has really not been into Bible prophecy as has Neil. She is open, but has just not had the intensity of interest that he has had. This was no doubt a supernatural message. I believe that God’s angels were the source of this message because Neil has been such a diligent watchman. That God chose the wife to give the message to is interesting. I have my thoughts on that but you can come up with your own speculation. God’s ways are mysterious, but always good!

It also seems noteworthy that Neil is an avid believer in the rapture, and knowledgeable teacher of same. He is persuaded that it is not only the next major event on God’s timetable, but that it is very near. It is interesting that God would have chosen such a rapture believer for this message. God obviously knows Neil’s persuasion and predisposition, so, in my opinion, the answer to the question, "It’s just about time -- for what?" is obviously, "the rapture."
