i had been depressed about the terrible things happening in America, 

so much wickedness, violence, and evil.  I was in tears as I prayed and 

meditated over what is happening.  Once more I cried out, "Oh Lord, how 

long until our Lord comes for His church and believing perople?

    At that very moment, the thought came to me to study about the "door."  

I then thought, what does this have to do with the rapture of the Lord's 

church and people?  But I was obedient to the impression which I believe

had been placed upon my mind by the Holy Spirit, John 16:13.  

    A door is first mentioned in God's Word in Genesis 4:7, where the 

Lord was giving wicked Cain an opportunity to be saved.  Of course he 

did not accept God's merciful offer, and is in Hell today.

    The seond time a door is mentioned in the Bible, is found in Genesis 

6:16, where God instructed Noah to set a door in the side of the Ark.

In Genesis 6:3, God had previously given pre-flood mankind a 120 

year warning of judgment to come.  During thqt 120 years righteous 

Noah built the Ark.  Then 7 days before the end of that 120 years, God 

told righteous Noah that the flood was coming, Genesis 7:4, and it did!

    God's inspired Word then records three times that the judgment

of the flood began the same day Noah entered the Ark.  "3" is thee 

Bible number signifying the "resurrection and  rapture." Is athis just coincidence, or was Noah's entering into  the Ark a type of the rapture

of the Lord's church and New Testament believers?  Be careful how you

answer, for God is listening, Matthew 12:36,  

    So at the exact end of the 120 year warning, Noah entered into the Ark, 

God shut the door, and the flood began.

    Today we are living in another 120 year warning period, which began 

the process 0f events which led to the nation of israel, and will yet lead

to the redemption of the jewish people during the coming Tribulation 

judgment which follows this 120th year.  

     Just as Noah entered the Ark on the last day of the 120 years, and 

God shut the door, so the rapture will occur exactly at the end of this 

present 120 years. and God will shut the door.  

    This 120th year in which we are living ends at midnight on December 31st.  Again, is it just coincidence that the Lord went forth at midnight to 

deliver ancient Israel out of Egypt?  Exodus 12:29.  

     As  write, it is just 25 more days until God'a appointed time for

the rapture, if readers are willing to believe His Word.  

    Oh, by the way.  God gave Noah a final seven day warning.  Again,

it is just coincidence  that it is exactly 7 days from Christmas day, 

December 25th, until the end of  this 120 years at midnight on December

31st?  Another thing.....is it just coincidence that preceding the deliverance of ancient Isreal from Egypt, there were great signs 

and wonders in the heavens and in the earth?  

     During the remainder of this present month of December, there 

is going to be an alinement  of planets, a solar eclipse, and the 

Lord only knows what else.   

     Set your house in order, witness to your lost loved ones, fridns, 

and neighbors, and spend your time in prayer.  The coming of our 

Lord to resurrect and rapture His people  to glory is right at the doors, 

Matthew 24:33.  May the Lord graciously bless this message,
