Update: 2-23-02
Some have asked about my silence on the Internet and have wondered where I have been. Thanks for your concern.
My last general e-mail and post was January 26, less than three weeks ago. During that time, I have packed and moved from Florida back to Virginia, as I have believed God has been leading, for various reasons, some known and some unknown. I just set up my desktop PC again this week. I did have my laptop, which I used to keep up to date, but I do not have Web building software on it and could not post anything on my Web site.
But mainly, I have not had anything special to report. I try not to send e-mails just to be sending, but only if I believe I have something significant to report that others may not be reporting, or to add emphasis to something that may be found elsewhere.
Naturally, I have been watching the Middle East carefully, as you probably have also been doing. The Middle East has been a consistent power keg since 1948, but we do seem to be near a historical point of crisis as never existed before. This has profound prophetic implications, especially as we may be seeing the soon "removal" of Yassir Arafat, one way or another. Also, I believe there is more military activity and planning centering on Iraq than the public is being told. We could be involved in a full-scale conflagration there very, very soon. This could have severe ramifications elsewhere. I recall businessman friend and Bible student Randy Bullock seeing the 1991 Gulf War in the book of Daniel, and also in Daniel he sees a second U.S.-Iraq war followed by destruction upon America.
Several have asked about the latest status on Dr. Richard Eby, and also about 19-year-old Ronnie Patterson. My last report revealed that Dr. Eby's health status is still very poor but essentially unchanged. The last report from his father revealed that Ronnie is totally undaunted and more excited than ever about the soon rapture, based on his visitation from the Lord in the fall of 2000. His experience was so real and powerful that he thinks of nothing else. This is not natural for a 19-year-old boy. It seems to me that it must be supernatural.
Keep watching. I will a advise if anything special comes my way.
God bless you,
Jim
