Questions & Answers

I have put together a list common questions and answers that I have been asked. I pray this helps strengthen your faith to believe this prophetic message from God.

So give me an overview of what the book, 2007, is about.

2007 is not just a prophetic book. It is a book that begins with discussing creation, Jesus, salvation, faith and Christianity. In the second half of the book, I discuss topics on the rapture and the end times. I also share the prophetic dream that God gave me.

You said you discuss the rapture in the book. What is the rapture and is it found in the bible?

A lot of people think the rapture is the end of the world, it is not. Many people, even well intentioned christians have the rapture verses confused with the verses about the second coming. The second coming and the rapture are two completely different events. The rapture is the sudden, supernatural removal of all children of God from earth to heaven. God is just removing His children to a place of safety while His wrath is being poured out upon the sinful and unbelievers who remain here on earth. Christians are redeemed from the wrath of God, so we christians will not be experiencing the tribulation which is the wrath of God. The world, the sinners,will still be here. They are going to experience the wrath of God. The wrath of God will be the consequence to those who have rejected Jesus Christ and God's way of doing things. God is in charge. Things are going to go as HE has planned before the foundation of the earth. He had a plan and a time for the plan to happen. He knows how to protect the righteous and punish only those who deserve it. The word rapture is a Greek word that means “caught up”. This is found in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

A lot of churches and denominations do not believe in the rapture. Is Jesus just returning to get a certain group of people?

I just quoted scripture out of the bible proving that the rapture is a biblical event. If it is in the bible then it will happen. God does not care what church you go to or what religous denomination you prefer as long as Jesus Christ is the center of your belief. If your church does not teach you to accept Jesus as Savior in order for you to go to Heaven then they are not part of the One True God's family, they are just a social group. To go up in the rapture you must be part of God's family and to be part of God's family you must accept Jesus Christ as Savior. This is made very clear in the bible. If people do not want to believe the prophets warnings about the rapture, then don’t. That does not mean it is not going to happen and it does not mean you are going to miss it when it does happen. It just means it will be an exciting surprise for you. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you are a child of God. God does not divide us up into different religions, denomination, sex, color, creed, or social group. We are all His and He loves each one of us the same without partiality. God is gracious, loving and merciful. He is a fair God not only to the saved but to the lost as well. You have to know the personality of God and the way He does things and has always done things. He never changes. Sending this warning to people, ALL people, is just God’s way and His nature. If people really understood the depth of God’s love toward everyone(sinners and believers) they would be able to receive this prophecy. When Jesus appears in the sky to call all God’s children up at the rapture then we are ALL going if we belong to Him. Whether your church teaches it or not or whether you believe in it or not will not influence or change the truth that “all God’s children will be raptured at the same time” all over the world!!!

What about the children? Are all childen going to Heaven and being raptured?

This question is hard to answer. Some bible scholars believe all children go to Heaven. They use Luke 18:15-17(NCV) as a reference. It says “Some people brought even their babies to Jesus so He could touch them. When the followers saw this, they told them to stop. But Jesus called for the children, saying, Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to people who are like these children. I tell you the truth, you must accept the kingdom of God as if you were a child, or you will never enter in.” I do not believe that verse means all children go to Heaven. It just means we must be humble, honest, trusting and sincere when we come before God. Some pastors believe all children under 12 years old go to Heaven because they think 12 is the year of accountability when God starts holding you responsible for the choices you make or haven’t made in life. I really have not found that scripture in the bible. I do not believe the bible is absolutely clear on this issue. The bible does make it clear that we are ALL born into this world as sinners. We ALL must be born again because the first time we were born we were born as sinners.(Romans 3:23) We must make a choice at some point in our lives to accept Jesus as Savior. I know you have heard the saying the fruit does not fall far from the tree. I believe it would be difficult for 2 born again God loving parents to have a child who was a spawn from Hell. And difficult for 2 Hell bound people to have a God fearing child. The bible speaks about children being cursed because of the sins of their fathers.(Read Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:7, Numbers 14:18, Numbers 30:15-18, Isaiah 13:16-18) The bible talks about the blessings of your father (Psalms 132:12, Proverbs 20:7) I believe God holds parents responsible for their children physically, emotionally and spiritually until they are old enough to know right from wrong and make their own choices in life. That exact age, I believe, varies from child to child. I get my belief from First Corinthians 7:14 which says, "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife; the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy." When my children were born we took them to church and had them blessed and dedicated to God. We took them to church and Sunday school as a family and when they were ready (they were both 8 years old) they ask Jesus to save them from their sins and then were water baptized. My granddaughter was 6 years old when she ask Jesus to save her from her sins and was water baptized. God is the ONLY one, the only judge who has authority to say who goes to Heaven and who does not. I do not have the right to say one way or the other.

Why did you write this book?

I wrote this book because God told me to. I do not at all consider myself a prophet. I just call myself a messenger. God gave me a message and told me to share it with everyone. Writing this book and releasing this warning to the nation IS MY PURPOSE in life. It is my reason for living now in these last days. God appointed me with this assignment. God told me to reach out to the UNCHURCHED. He told me to reach those who do not hear the voice of God speaking. He told me to not focus all my attention on the church and christians. If they want to believe me fine. If they don't, that is between them and God. They should already be saved and prepared for the return of Jesus. I have a passion for the lost. God gave me a prophetic dream about my life and about the rapture of the church. He showed me several major changes and events that were going to happen in my life. Most all of them have happened so far over a period of time. God told me to write down my dream and share it with this whole nation and then the rapture is going to happen. I am in the process of doing that right now. Habbakuk 2:2&3 says, “..Write the vision, make it plain upon tables that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time but at the end it shall speak, and not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

Why did you name your book 2007?

I named my book 2007 because I believe 2007 is the year the rapture is going to happen. In my dream God said He was giving me from 3 to 3 1/2 years to warn the nation about the rapture. I got my book published in June of 2004. Getting my book published and available to the public was the beginning of my mission. 3 to 3 1/2 years from June 2004 is sometimetime between June 2007- December 2007. God showed me my family was swimming in our pool the day before the rapture. So the rapture will happen anytime between June and December in 2007 during swimmable "summerlike" weather here where I live in Florida.

Why should anyone believe that you know the date of the rapture when Mathew 24:36 says, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of Heaven, but My Father only.”

That scripture is accuratly quoted, however I believe it is in reference to the 2nd coming of Christ, NOT the rapture. The bible says in Math 24:22 and Mark 13:20 that "except those days be shortened no man will survive." I believe those days He is talking about are the days of the tribulation period. I believe no man knows the day, the hour the time that God has chosen to shorten those days. I believe Math 24:36 is talking about the tribulation period, not the rapture. Since God has revealed to me a date (year and season) to prepare for the rapture and share that date with the world that scripture is obviously not in reference to the rapture. Anyway, there are even more scriptures that say God WILL tell us (His children) what is going to happen and when. Mathew 24:37-39 shows that Jesus will come as in the days of Noah. Noah was God’s faithful and chosen one at that time. Noah knew exactly what God was doing and exactly when God was going to do it. God speaks to His people in many ways. 1. Through His written word, the bible. 2. He speaks to us in our spirit. 3.He speaks to us through other people. 4. He speaks to us through dreams and visions. 5. He speaks to us through angels. God did not give me the day or the hour of the rapture. He gave me the year and the season. Amos 3:7, says, “Surely, the Lord will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets.” Some scriptures in the bible were just to certain people and for their particular time. You have to read the whole story and understand the whole situation. You can't just pick out a verse and use it to your convenience. Some prophetic revealation is being given now that has been kept secret. Daniel 12:4 says, "..shut up the words, seal the book, even to the time of the end..." And Revelation 22;10 says, "Seal not the saying of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand." God will reveal secrets to us as we need to know it. There was no need 2000 years ago for people to know when the rapture was going to happen. There is a need for OUR generation to know and that is why God is revealing it to us NOW.
God does not sneak up on His people. He loves everyone, sinners and believers. He sent His Son Jesus especially for the sinners. God is extremely gracious and merciful. He does not want anyone to miss the rapture. That is why He is taking such extreme measures to get this message to all who will listen and believe. God has chosen to use my voice and I choose to obey. People like to quote 1 Thessalonians to me as well, but they do not quote the whole message and they do not seem to understand who the message was being spoken to.Read 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 (New Century Version), "You know very well that the day the Lord comes again will be a surprise, like a thief that comes in the night. While people are saying, we have peace and we are safe, they will be destroyed quickly. It is like pains that come quickly to a woman having a baby. These people will not escape. But you brothers and sisters are not living in darkness, and so that day will not surprise you like a thief." For anyone to believe that Our precious wonderful Father would sneak up on us (His children)and try to take us by surprise obviously does not know the true love of our Father. Fathers do not do that to their children!!

Tell me, Why should anyone believe that dream was actually from God? Can you prove you are not a false prophet ?

Well first and foremost, I do not consider myself a prophet I am just a messenger for God. Yes He gave me a prophetic message, but If I'm not a prophet to begin with then I can not be a false prophet. We all must receive everything about God and the bible by faith. We must receive His prophets and messengers by faith as well. All I can do is give the message. GOD ONLY USES HIS CHILDREN TO BE A PROPHETIC VOICE FOR HIM. People can look at my life. I am a Christian who loves God with all my heart. I am not preaching anything contrary to the bible. I am not trying to form some kind of cult or special group. I am not trying to magnify myself at all. I’m not trying to profit myself or make money off of the message. When God gives prophecy, it does not conflict with other true prophecy He has given. All God given prophecy, past and present, blends together to expose one picture. God actually told me that every prophecy that He is revealing to people is like a piece of a puzzle. When all the pieces are put together we will see the complete picture. This message or prophecy that God has given me is a very important part of that puzzle. All prophecy leads back to Jesus Christ or to Jesus Christ. People can see the result of this message I am sending. The result is preparation for Jesus Christ. Preparing not only their souls but their physical daily lives as well. I will not be able to actually prove the validity of this message until AFTER 2007 when the rapture happens. Deuteronomy 8:22 says, "...when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken." Proof that someone is not a false prophet is that the thing they prophecy about actually does happen. If some people wait until 2007 to believe me it will be too late. Why waste another minute of your life in the control of Satan any way. Whether the rapture happens in 2007, in 2070 or whether it happens tomorrow. You should get your lives in order right now today and stop playing games with God. You need your lives to be taken out of the hands of Satan and placed in the hands of God for your daily living, not just to secure a heavenly seat when it is your time to leave this earth.

A lot of people think you are trying to use scare tactics to bring people to Jesus Christ. Some have said you have no right going around scaring people and predicting the end of the world.

Well first of all, like I said earlier, the rapture is not the end of the world, the rapture kicks off the beginning of a terrible 7 year tribulation that is coming to THIS world, not to a world that has ended. It is a time when the wrath of God will be poured out on those who remain here on earth and never believed and had a relationship with Jesus Christ. Secondly, there are certain things in life we all must be aware of and adjust our lives to, especially in this day and hour that we did not have to think about or make adjustments to 100 years ago. It is not living in fear or using scare tactics, it is living in wisdom. We did not have to tell our children not to play in traffic, we did not have to stress to our children the importance of not talking to strangers, we did not have to have safe rooms and fallout shelters. We don’t shield ourselves from death and funerals because we are scared to face the fact that one day we are going to die. We did not have to prepare meticulously for the rapture of the church 100 years ago either. Although giving your life over to Jesus is the main preparation, there are other things we should do and prepare for that would make our lives more comfortable as we get closer to the final days. You need Jesus on the inside of you so you are capable of hearing the voice of God to lead and guide you in your daily lives. These warnings from God are not to scare us but to prepare us and to protect us for a very real event that is about to happen. The rapture is not a scary thing unless you are not saved, that’s why people are being warned specifically so they can prepare their hearts and lives and give themselves to Jesus to hear God’s voice and daily promptings. If people are scared they should talk to God about that and search their own souls and find out why. True children of God welcome the rapture and are excited about the reunion.

You know people have been saying for 100’s of years that Jesus is coming soon. There have been a multitude of people who have predicted the date of the end, and they have been wrong. Why should anyone believe you now?

I know people have been saying this since Jesus’ day. Jesus Himself warned people in Mark 1:14&15 to prepare because the Kingdom of God was at hand. It does make it hard to believe this prophecy since so many date setters have been wrong. I am not offended that people are questioning this prophecy. Had God given this message and assignment to someone else and not to me I would probably question it as well. Do you know how quickly evil would have spread if people knew 2000 years ago or even 50 years ago, that the rapture was really not going to happen until 2007AD? God wanted us to always be prepared for the rapture to happen any day. I believe it kept us on our toes throughout the generations. The prophecy and secret revelations of the rapture has been in the bible ever since the bible was written. God has held back certain revelation and understanding of these prophecies until now. Daniel 12:4 says, "...shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end.." God planned to wait until NOW, right before the rapture to reveal these things to us. The rapture did not happen and can not happen until several conditions and situations line up first. God is spreading the word and revealing this secret to us NOW because world events and situations has lined up with what God said was going to happen before the rapture and now the time and circumstances is finally right for the event.

What do you have to say to people who say they know Jesus is coming soon, but God has not told them 2007?

I say they are mistaken and that is really a foolish, prideful statement. As said earlier, God speaks to people in different ways. He speaks to us through other people. I am one of those people God is using. God gave me this message and told me 2007. So God IS telling people. He is telling people right now with my voice. God is using my voice to send this message out to everyone. The world does not go to church or listen to Christian radio. The world can not hear the voice of God, so God must use a verbal voice to reach them. God cares as much for the sinner as He does the believer. He sent His son Jesus especially for the lost sinner. God has and always will go to extreme measures to reach the sinners. Christians, ministers and other pastors have said they believe Jesus can come anyday, but then they will turn right around and say they do not believe this 2007 prophecy. Read Ephesians 4:11-13 (New Century Version), "And Christ gave gifts to people; He made some to be apostles, some to be prophets, Some to go and tell the Good News, and some to have the work of caring for and teaching God's people. Christ gave these gifts to prepare God's holy people for the work of serving, to make the body of Christ stronger. This work must continue until we are all joined together in the same faith and in the same knowledge of the Son of God." God is using prophets and messengers today to prepare people for the coming rapture. The prophecies from these people must be received by faith. God has spoken these prophecies directly to them to share with the world. We All have different callings and assignments. If your pastor has not received a special rapture word from God, maybe it's because he is called to be a pastor or teacher ONLY and not a prophet or special messenger for God. 1 Corinthians 12:29, "Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?" Every child of God is given certain gifts, but every child of God does not have ALL the gifts. I was not personally called to start a church and be a pastor. But I have been given this gift and this prophetic message to share. This is MY calling and MY assignment. If some people are going to wait for God to give them their very own personal, special visitation before they believe the word of prophecy through other men and women of God, they may be waiting a very long time. Just because you are a preacher does not mean you should disregard what God is speaking to other men and women of God and it doesn't mean He will give you a special visitation and word to make you believe the other men and women of God. We are all suppose to be working together with one accord, helping, edifying and sharing with one another what God has spoken to each one of us to achieve one mission (PREPARE YOUR LIVES TO MEET JESUS CHRIST). All of God's children has an assignment from God and/or a word or message to share. None of us stand alone. It is up to people to receive prophets and their messages by faith or reject it. God does not force people to believe in Him and He does not force people to believe in His messengers. It is up to everyone to make their own choices.

What are you going to say if the rapture does not happen in 2007? Will you make excuses and say that God must have changed His mind?

I believe with all my heart and soul that I have heard from God and He has given me this assignment. I have been waiting to fullfil my assignment from God since 1986. Not only do I believe I recieved this prophetic message from God, I believe He sent a woman to me from church to tell me to go ahead and release the message. I believe I am in God's timing and I am following His will for me. I do not believe God will change His mind about the rapture because the bible says He does not change His mind. It says in 1 Samuel 15:29(NCV), "The Lord is the Eternal One of Israel. He does not lie or change His mind. He is not a human being, so He does not change His mind." I do not believe I am at all wrong about this prophecy but if for some reason we are still here in 2008, I will not try to make excuses or predict any other dates. I will go on with my life privately and still wait for the return of Jesus.

Why would God choose you to tell this message? Do you think you are more special than everyone else?

Anyone who has read the bible knows that God always chooses someone that the rest of the world is not expecting. I absolutely do not think I am more special than anyone else. On the other hand I do not think I am lower or less than anyone else either. Why God chose me instead of someone of well known respect like Billy Graham, I have no idea. I know that God qualifies everyone He calls. The bible says God chooses the humble and the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. Most everyone in the bible that God used and called including Moses, David, Paul, Jesus and the 12 apostles did not fit the mold of what the world or religous people were expecting. Other well known preachers and evangelist of today would not have probably been chosen by society either. But God called them, changed them, qualified them and uses them to His glory to accomplish His will. I believe God has done the same for me. I am just as qualified to be used of God as anyone else, because it is not me that is doing the work it is God in me that is giving this message. He is just using my voice. God always sends a messenger before He does anything. I am ONE of those messengers He is using. Malachi 3:1 (New Century Version), "The Lord All Powerful says, I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way for Me...."It is not my job to make people believe this message. God does not need me to argue prove or debate this message with anyone either. I am just to share what God has given me. If people want to believe and prepare for it great, if they don't that is up to them. Mark 6:11 says, "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when you depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgement, than for that city." It is not hurting me when people do not believe what I am saying. They are the ones who have to stand before God and answer for their faith or lack of.

What about people who say they are not ready to give their lives to Jesus right now? They feel if the rapture is not going to happen until 2007 then they’ll just wait till then to repent?

No one knows when their last day will be on earth. Some people are going to die today. Right now might be your last opportunity to accept Jesus as Savior. Just because the rapture is happening in 2007 does not mean that the life and death process ceases until then. You should not wait until 2007 to receive Jesus in your life. NO ONE HAS A PROMISE OF TOMORROW. The bible says "today is your day for salvation." If you truly repent of your sins, you are anxious to start over and rid yourself of your sins and get closer to God. God knows your heart. He knows if you are really sorry for your sins. People who say they will wait until the very last minute to repent would make me doubt their sincerity all together. And if it is that obvious to me, I’m sure it is more obvious to God.

If I do not accept Jesus as Savior before the rapture happens in 2007 and I get left behind, will it be too late for me? Will I still have a chance to be saved?

Until you physically die and take your last breath here on earth or receive the mark of the beast, you can still ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and He will do it!! The problem is if you are not strong enough to live your life as a christian now, more than likely you will not be strong enough to do it after the rapture. It is easy to live as a christian right now especially here in the US where we have freedom of religion. You are not going to be killed or arrested for going to church and worshipping God. Things are going to be very hard after the rapture. People will be killed and beheaded for being christians. The anti-christ is going to force people who are left behind to receive the mark of the beast in their forheads or right hands and this will be proof that you are not a christian. The bible says if you receive the mark, you doom your soul forever. Revelation 13:16-18, "And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom, Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; his number is 666." This is the mark of the beast and receiving it causes you to suffer the wrath of God. Revelation 14:9&10, "..if anyone worships the beast and his image and receives the mark on his forhead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb." Right now this minute could be your last opportunity to receive Jesus as Savior. No one knows when their last day will be, yours could be today. Why push it to the limit and take such a big risk with your life? Just give yourself to God right now and secure your future in heaven!!

How do we prepare for the rapture?

The only way to be prepared for the rapture is to repent of your sins and receive Jesus Christ as your Savior. Read John 14:6," Jesus said unto them, I am the way, the truth amd the life. NO MAN cometh unto the Father, but by Me!" Some religions say they believe in God but they disregard Jesus as Savior and the ONLY connection to God. Without Jesus you are not going to Heaven and you will not go up at the rapture. Going to church, being a nice good citizen, even believing there is a God, WILL NOT GET YOU INTO HEAVEN. ONLY THE BLOOD JESUS SHED ON THE CROSS CAN FORGIVE AND CLEANSE YOU FROM SIN. So the only way to be rapture ready is receive Jesus as Savior. Receive into your life the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. Jesus shed His blood for you, for your sins, so you would not have to. Jesus is your boarding ticket for the trip. No other way can you enter into Heaven except through Jesus Christ.

How do I surrender my life to Jesus?

It is very easy. You first must repent in your heart. Be sorry for your sinful life and be willing to make changes and adjustments to line your life up with the will of God and live according to the bible. Then confess your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart and cleanse you and start you over again.
Romans 10:9&10 says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Can we pray that prayer now for whoever may be ready to make a change?

Absolutely, just repeat after me. Jesus I am a sinner. *Save me, help me, I need you. *I want a second chance. I want to start my life over. *I believe you are the Son of God. *I believe You died on the cross for my sins. *I believe You rose from the dead. *I believe you now live at the right hand of God in Heaven as my mediator and connection to Almighty God.* I choose to live my life according to Your word, the bible.* Thank you for saving me and filling me with the Holy Spirit.* Thank you for writing my name in The Lambs Book of Life and making me part of God's holy family. *In Jesus name, A-men. You are now rapture ready!!!

What are we suppose to be doing from now till the rapture happens?

Everyone of God's children has an assignment in these last days. God did not build the ark for Noah. God counted on Noah and his children to build the ark for their own safety. God has something for you to do as well for your own safety. Pray and ask God what that assignment is. The world keeps turning, so go to work, pay your bills and carry on your normal life. Find a good church that preaches the bible, believes that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World. Take your family, your spouse and children. Read your bible regularly. Use every opportunity and contact you have in your everyday life to tell others about Jesus and how they can receive Him as their Savior. Do good for people, do all you can and love one another, even your enemies, as if it were your last day on earth. Give love and forgiveness to EVERYONE. If you thought you only had a few hours to live, what would you do? Make things right with everyone you can. 1 Timothy 4:12&13 says, “….be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

Thank you for visiting my website and I just have one final word to the readers.
Get your lives in order and accept Jesus as Savior. If you do, then we’ll
SEE YOU IN HEAVEN IN 2007.
