Did you get the e-mail?

You probably received the same e-mail I did. Nearly everyone I know, in the “SDA world” has received it. Here a section from it:

7) Avoid traveling in September, 2008 as barriers and check points will be erected.  Those who do not have their papers or are on their round-up list will be imprisoned, exiled, enslaved, or decapita ted.  Yes, they do have such a list as we have read from several sources about this list.  Interestingly, we know that s ome of these sources do not know about the other sources, making what they say more credible.  They have a red list (those to be executed immediately) and a blue list (those to be put in concentration camps for “re-education.”) These people will probably not survive either.

OK yes I picked one of most sensational parts of e-mail but I’m trying to keep your attention. Forgive me. The email is essentially about how the financial crisis that the world is currently wrestling with will lead to marshal law being declared, US elections beings suspended, mass executions and Sunday Law! Its Now October 2008 and things haven’t gone the way that the writer suggests. By pointing out that fact I’m not suggesting that there this is all foolishness. I would suggest that at the very least the financial crisis should make all or us take a second look at the books of Revelation and Daniel so we can share with our friends and family.

Some folks are looking to sell up and move to the country, get survival training, go back to the Caribbean, some are paying off their debts. Whatever your response is make sure its as a result of the leading of the Holy Spirit and with a foundation in the Word of God.

We are paying down debts, looking to be more self sufficient, consume less, save, slow down, spend more time in the Bible and prayer.
LUKE 21;28 “But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (New American Standard Bible)

28 When all this starts to happen, up on your feet. Stand tall with your heads high. Help is on the way!” (message)

If nothing else this crisis provides a opening for us to speak to folks about the things of God and his soon coming.

check out the link below for some audio that came with the e-mail. It will get you thinking and praying, I promise.
