Dear Outreacher: 

NOW to the Chase: Do you notice how time is rushing by – it seems the months go by  like days – the years fly by like weeks – but God’s WORD is timeless – Jesus is still redeeming the LOST via His Power unto SALVATION to all that will believe and obey:

                 We are so blessed, as we get reports of the Village Evangelist’s (VE’s) commitment and dedication – their desire that all might be saved! This is particularly potent when we realize that they are living and ministering in very difficult and even desperate situations and quite often under some extreme pressures and persecution.

                 Our leaders often express how blessed they are as they are able to have the AMBASSADOR Units – they have found them to be most helpful and effective – truly a powerhouse for the gospel. These units typically cost $50.00 each including message download, shipping and import duty.

                 Also, more and more we are hearing the ‘cry’ for bicycles – not for convenience – but to provide the capability to truly reach the multitudes that so desperately need to hear. Bicycles are typically available there for $100.00.

                 You will recall that in Ghana, we found those bicycles made a huge difference, -- yes, at least 12 times the conversions as a VE with only the player! WOW – 12 times!!

                 You know – this bothers us, but, for the national leaders and VEs, it is a heart felt and agonizing plea that comes from them, for they not only see, but deeply feel the ongoing loss – the imminent delay – the cry of those that so often ask where have you been all these years – and yet the delay goes on and on and --- YES, pray that the Lord of the Harvest will send tools for the harvesters.

                 Now perhaps you can see why we are pressing the “bike” button these days, like never before, – seeking to get all the VEs equipped as soon as possible. As you might know, this is a growing problem, with arguably between 15,000 and 30,000 VEs now ministering world-wide. This is a reasonable extrapolation from the 15,000 reported early in 2008 AD (where China alone had 6,500) and ‘little’ Ghana now has over 1,040 VEs ministering in three languages.

                 We are sometimes criticized for projecting such large numbers – but this is done here so that we can all get a handle on the magnitude of the task that we are dealing with. The leaders and VEs are doing a tremendous job – they are ‘digging in for the long haul’ – they are trusting that the Lord will provide equipment in His time! We know He will, in His time, – we are waiting for His miracles!  Actually, if you want to be blown away – the total task ahead requires about 300,000 VEs world-wide! SELAH!!! Yes, Think of that!!!

Let’s see what is ‘right now’ happening in Ghana, in Liberia, in Nigeria and in Kenya -- Ok?

                It is interesting that collectively these four countries of Africa will need a total of about 16,000 VEs to ultimately reach all their villagers by the end of 2010 AD. Right now they are equipment limited with 2,000 VEs ministering. Here are some added details for CDP-Ghana and CDP-Kenya:

Pastor Prince Paul Konu, of CDP-Ghana, REPORTS

                “To God be the Glory – this is the Report from the FRAFRA language group in the northern reaches of Ghana. There have been: 13,000 professions of faith and 1,200 baptisms, for 2008 AD through August. The total monies for bikes from my recent USA trip was $1,000, this has allowed us to buy 10 bikes which will be distributed as soon as funds area available to make the trip.”

NOTE: We have funded Pastor Paul to help him with distribution of bikes and remaining AMBASSADOR Units.

Evangelist Joel Atuti of CDP-Kenya, REPORTS

                “I greet you in the Name of the Lord. I just want to tell you that we received the 100 AMBASSADOR Units from MegaVoice – we are so grateful. I will let you know the progress soon. These came at exactly at the right time, since we had an opportunity to open up ten new areas in the Mombasa region and needed 10 Units for each!!  PTL indeed! Pastor Mapenzi is coordinating this new effort!”

Note: His bank failed him and he had to get a new bank – his funds were finally available to allow the needed distribution travel, etc. Yes, we need to continually hold these dear ones up before our Lord – they are really doing a great job against all odds!!

The End-Time Mid-Course and Final-Correction

Last month we presented the End-Time Time-Line concept

which we hope you will find very cogent for these vital times.  The present Course Correction thoughts provide an analogy which may be helpful to a better understanding of Daniel’s Time-Line

The End-Time Mid-Course and Final-Corrections

                 The End-Time “missile” is heading for Final “Impact”; now, with Mid-Course corrections in place.  The early “ballistic” launching, and “coasting” period, for most of the “flight”, required that Final-Impact considerations must be expected and in-place to allow the Target (Time-Line) to be accurately known.

                 Yes, the sequential opening of the End-Time information from Daniel’s “Sealed” to “Unsealed” status (see Daniel 12:4-12) provides both Mid-Course and Final-Impact corrections.  Just as in the case of the ballistic missile, all appears well – until you approach the Final-Target area – and one realizes that the Circular-Error-Probability (CEP) is untenably large – essentially assuring one will miss the “target”. BUT, via Final-Target Corrections, the true target will be fully seen and accurately hit.

                 With our End-Time situation, it is now clear that our view was limited by the time-gate of Daniel’s “Sealed” to “Unsealed” period.  Daniel’s scripture clearly noted that there was something very important in process. Without Daniel’s sealed information available (even seen, let alone understood – for the Holy Spirit had blocked it from our view) one could only assume that the “understood at the time” information was the complete picture.

                The primary or “ballistic” view, prior to the “Increase of knowledge”, of Daniel 12:4, was adequate for the day. It placed all Christians on notice that indeed Jesus was coming again, maybe “soon”.  But, when one sees and understands the “Unsealed” (later) information from Daniel (this, following the Increase in Knowledge and believing Jesus as concerning the Abomination of Desolation in Matthew 24:14) we thereafter understand the Final-Target-Course correction!

                It is not a given that all will see and understand the Daniel 9:27 / Matthew 24:15-21 significance – this only comes to those that are obedient to the Lord’s admonition to “go to Daniel the Prophet” about the Abomination of Desolation. However, it is as firm as any computer or ATM “password” – understanding otherwise is not possible, and one without this understanding will think that this added information is “heresy” or not true at best! So, we will probably always have at least two camps of understanding on this issue because not all will understand, yet the “sealed up” group (unwittingly so) will be verbose and otherwise opinionated right up to the time of the Rapture.

                The pre-Tribulation view is predicated upon the Tribulation being the whole 70^th Week of Daniel. This then basically set it to be an undeniable position for the last 150 or so years. Claimants sometimes even making rash statements about those that had any other view – even to the point of stating that such other views clearly came from deceivers.  It is interesting to consider just who the (unwitting) deceiver(s) may be.

Daniel clearly notes in:

                 Dan 12:10 “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

                 Dan 12:11 “And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.            

               Dan 12:12 “Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days”.

We are living in the post-unsealed period (having experienced a remarkable Increase in Knowledge starting about 1948 AD).  – Interestingly, this started at the same general time that Israel became a Nation. – We now see and can revel in the added details as Daniel (see Daniel 12:11-12) provides a very  comprehensive End-Time Chronological Time-Line.  This only needs the starting date of the Daily Sacrifice to allow important information from Ezekiel and Revelation and others to be compounded into a very powerful tool for the believer.  This then allows our lives to be managed in a more meaningful manner.

Specifically, the CHURCH is able to get the GO-YE task done in time, as well as allow each of us to best manage any assets we have that we do not want Satan to get as we leave at the Rapture (it is still note worthy that you can’t take it with you! But, you can get HIS well done, good and faithful Steward, as you properly send your assets ahead for Kingdom activities).

 With the Daily Sacrifice of Ezekiel 45-48 we see the pre-cursors to Daniel’s 70^th week unfold – leading to some truly remarkable activities and challenges for both Israelis and Christians. In particular, we see the following as very significant milestones and/or periods providing solid stepping stones into the End-Time. NOTE: Please use the Authorized King James Bible – it is consistent with Prophetic distances and measures related to Dividing the Land, most others are not!:

 1.      The Whole House of Israel resurrected and in the land – under King David! See     Ezekiel 37!!! This may actually occur later in the following sequence, certainly before     Item 6, and likely before Item 3.

 2.      Israel is to get the southern part of Lebanon up to about the latitude of Damascus.

3.      Israel is to divide the land (of Israel) – specifically per Ezekiel 45-48.

 4.      Israel, as a Nation, is to celebrate the Passover on a 14^th day of the first month following Vernal Equinox.

 5.      Israel is to repeat the ‘Passover’ 6-months later.

 6.      The Prince of Israel (forever) King David, starts the 2300 day Daily Sacrifice.

1.       to a very definitive diagram for the End-Time time-line as presented last month.

 2.      The Abomination of Desolation is at the center of the 70^th week, followed immediately by the Tribulation period of 45 days, as calculated from the chronological data of Daniel 12:11-12, where: 1,335 – 1,290 = 45 days of Tribulation, followed by something Blessed (Rapture).

 3.      The Wrath of God (WOG) period starts right after the Rapture occurs. – This lasts about 1260 days (probably a chastisement period for Israel’s centuries of unbelief).

4.      Jesus,  with His Body (the  Elect, the CHURCH), completes His coming to earth at the end of the WOG period to claim The Bride of Christ (where Israel, the Chosen,  is symbolized by New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven, having: 12-Gates  for 12-Tribes of Israel, and 12-Pillars for the 12- Apostles, -- see Revelation 12:9-14). It is apparent that the Church is not the Bride of Christ -- is not stated so anywhere in scripture, – BUT, is the BODY OF CHRIST – repeated often in scripture.  Central to Daniel’s 70th Week, the 45 day Tribulation is followed by the Rapture (the gathering to Jesus in the air), even as He is coming to earth, at the end of the WOG period, to Rule and Reign in Power and Great Glory through the following Millennium.

Summary Thoughts

             You might feel we are belaboring some of these points – but when one realizes the impact that the End-Time has on the Nations – and vise versa, the relevance becomes quite evident and ‘demanding’ consideration.

             Yes, we are, -- we are into this key time of the end – the End-Time  which Jesus Prophesied in Matthew 24 – delineating step by step – showing us what to expect.

             We can expect the early pre-cursors to soon come into focus – allowing us to fine tune the time-line – soon bringing us to calendar dates instead of just the chronologically projected time-line.

Watch for:

• Israel getting the Southern part of Lebanon.
• Israel Dividing the Land.
• Israel celebrating the Passover as a nation.
• Israel  repeating Passover 6-months later.
