A Place In the Wilderness

Introduction

This book is not for unbelievers, though there may be some who find something of value in it. Rather, it is written specif-ically for genuine Christians, for those who have believed into the Lord Jesus, for those who love Him. This book is not an exegesis of the Bible. Rather, it is a follow-on and companion to another book, an endtime chronology. This book provides further details and exhortations concerning the events that occur around the beginning of the great tribulation. While this writing touches on some of the same matters covered in the preceding book, it has a different focus. The central point of this book is the preparation of God’s people for the Lord’s return.

Matt. 25:10 … the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast…

What does it mean for us, the believers, to have our hearts prepared for the Lord’s return? Many believers consider that all things between us and the Lord are fine, that no matter in what condition we may be, or what our circumstances may be, everything between us and Him is without problem. They also believe that no matter what the condition of the believers may be, we all shall be taken from the earth and raptured to the heavens before the time of the great tribulation. However, this understanding is not scriptural. Rather, in many portions and in many ways the Lord makes clear that some believers will be taken before the tribulation and some will be left to pass through it. He also makes it abundantly clear that we will all stand before His judgment seat and give account for the things we have done in our bodies, whether good or bad. According to the New Testament we may still have a problem with the Lord, even though we may be truly saved.

In this book I am sounding an alert! I am sounding an alarm! Not everything between us and the Lord is as it should be,
