A Message to Those Left Behind

I was going about my business as usual -- and then suddenly I heard a trumpet sound. It was loud and it was beautiful and it came from the sky! Then I heard (although I have never physically heard His voice before, but I just KNEW it was Him) the voice of Jesus saying, "Rich come up here!"

WOWIE -- KABAM -- as they used to say on the old Batman shows when I was a kid! I was instantly lifted up into the air and met a bunch of other people there, some who had already died and others that had not. And we all got brand new bodies. No more dry skin, no more hard of hearing, no more heartburn, no more pain. I mean PERFECT forever bodies. Amazing! And I saw Jesus and I promise you that I am having WAY more fun than you are. I don't say that to gloat AT ALL! I really don't!

But I am SO happy that I cannot stop myself from sharing with you what I am doing right now. I am meeting my mom again! We are laughing and hugging and touching each other's faces. And I am reuniting with tons of other loved ones that I have not seen in years! And others that I loved on earth but never got the chance to meet face to face.

But -- better than all that -- I have seen the face of Jesus, my Savior! Wow!

What’s Your Next Step?

I am SO sorry that you are here reading this. If I failed to warn you that the Rapture was imminent, I am SO very sorry! And if I did warn you and you did not listen or thought I was nuts -- well, I'm still SO sorry. There are some things I need you to know right now.

SLIDE: Accept Jesus

First, you still may have a chance to accept Jesus as your Savior so please do it NOW.

But you need to know that making this decision at this point could very likely cost you your life -- and that (death) might be the good news. The bad news is that there are some very tough times ahead on this earth and I am not exaggerating! But I do know that the first thing you should do right now is find a Bible and turn to John 3:16.

SLIDE: John 3:16

John 3:16 (NLT)

16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Read that and then turn to Romans 10:9. It says:

SLIDE: Romans 10:9

Romans 10:9 (NLT)

9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Accept the free gift of salvation ASAP

SLIDE: URLs

And then go to RaptureReady.com or LambLion.com or OliveTreeViews.org if you can, and read as much as you can. Those are three places I know of that are reliable and full of truth. You should be able to find all the answers to the many questions I'm sure that you have right now about what has happened

-- that is, where did all the people go, and what to expect in the near future and where to find comfort and help to survive.

SLIDE: Share

Then begin sharing what you know with everyone who will listen.

I know that the next seven years or so will be the absolute worst of your life. I know you will be afraid, lonely, worried, injured, hungry, depressed, suicidal maybe and probably even angry with me, with yourself, with God even. I'm not certain, but I don't think that I will be aware of you or what is happening to you during the 7-years of Tribulation.

SLIDE: Pulling for You

But please know that right now, at the moment that I am writing this I am pulling for you and I hope to see you again when this is all over.
