"Behold I come as a thief.Blessed is he that watcheth,and keepeth his garments,lest he walk naked,and they see his shame...And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."-(Rev.16:15,16) Dear Friends around the world,
Welcome to the year 2000.Many of you reading this cannont believe that you are alive today.What was it that inspired this:nuclear war,increased crime,disease.Whatever it is dear friend you've arrived.But I know there are those who hoped that Christ would have come a long time ago.But dear friend be of good cheer as St. Paul would say,we have this hope that burns within our hearts...hope in the promise of His returning(see Jn 14:1-3).
It wasn't by chance that you are reading the first issue of Midnight Cry.Six years ago this month...I knew I'd one day be calling the world to a state of alertness.Through Providence,it is now time to take of the gloves and awaken the world to the reality that Jesus Christ is coming soon.We don't know the day or the hour...we just have to be ready and stay ready.
Armageddon:Final Conflict
Sure it is the title of a blockbuster movie starring Bruce Willis.But what exactly is Armageddon? Well let us look at the word's etemology.It is believed that Armageddon is a term describing a local mountain in the middle east,"har" meaning mountain and "magedo" for Megiddo.Many Biblical scholars believe that this will be a physical battle with armies from all over the world.A two hundred million strong force gathered to fight World War III.
This months study looks at this very important topic.
He doesn't show his hand until he has a full house.And dear friend,the deck wasn't in his favor,but how did I know that Y2K day one would not be the day of chaos, a full four years before? You'd have to just believe that I had a word of knowledge from the Lord concerning the final events of this world's history.It was very hard not to share this with you,but now we've passed the hurdles,I can share with you the fact that since 1996,Satan has had a smokescreen operation to bring into play the New World Order.Friend of mine it is here.
This year has been earmarked by many groups as a year of dramatic changes,I was in company with two "rastafarians" who were talking about the year 2000 being the year of Hili Salasi.Many Doomsday cults also belive there is some "apocolyptic" relevance to the year.Five years ago I learned that believers in the New Age phillosophy,hail this as the year "Lord Mithra" will return.This is the Jesus of the new age.And most of you know that this is(acording to the Solar calendar)the 2000th year since Jesus walked the dusty roads of Nazareth.Pope John Paul II has also hailed it the church's Jubilee.
No matter what or when or why,2000 will indeed be a most significant year...but of more significance is the coming Lunar year(occuring between March/April).I believe that a major event will take place within these thirty days.
~~~~~~~ COUNTRY LIVING~~~~~~~
It is time(its been time)for us who are looking for the Lord's appearing to take our families and relocate to places outside major world cities....notice how they've been in the news lately.Away from the cities,there will be a better life for a while,where parents can train their children without the distraction of the metropolitans of this world.

"The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen,men who occupy positions of trust and authority,thinking men and women of all classes,have their affections fixed on upon the events taking place about us.They are watching the strained,restless relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking posssion of every earthly element,and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place---that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.
Angels are now restraining the winds of strife[Rev.7:1-3],that they may not blow until the world shall be warned of its coming doom; but a storm is gathering,ready to burst upon the earth;and when God shall bid His angels to loose the winds,there will be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture."~~Education, 179-180.
