24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. 
1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged [that is, decreased] ;
2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 
3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon mountains of Ararat. 

In these verses, we discover that it was 150 days after the flood waters began on the 17th day of the 2nd month that the Ark came to rest upon Mount Ararat on the 17th day of the 7th month. Converting this to our day with May 21, 2011 having been the beginning date of the flood, and counting 150 days from then, comes exactly to October 18, 2011 on our Gregorian modern day calendar. This is when the Ark came to rest upon Mount Ararat according to the scripture we just read, and counting the exact number of 150 days from May 21 . We had thought that 3 days after this on October 21, 2011 the End of the World and Heaven would come, but that obviously did not happen because we are still here, and, actually, this makes completely perfect sense in the light of the flood account because Noah did not step out from the Ark onto dry ground - dry ground being a picture of heaven - until about 5 literal months later as we shall see. For us to have thought the End and the manifestation of Heaven would be on October 21, 2011 simply does not match up to the way things are shown to unfolded in the flood account. 

Now let's read further about the flood account and relate its time clues to our modern day calendar to see if we might learn something about the timing of the coming of the Son of man. After all, the Lord Himself did say, as it was in the days of Noah [that is, as it was in the flood account, we might say], so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man. We read in Genesis 8, 

5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. 

Now we have two dates: we were already given the date of the 17th day of the 7 month when the Ark rested on Mount Ararat 150 days after the start of the flood, and when put to our modern day calendar was equivalent to October 18, and now we are given the 1st day of the 10th month when the tops of the mountains were seen, and we can relate this to our modern day calendar by first of all adding up the amount of days between the 17th day of the 7th month when the Ark came to rest upon Ararat, and the 1st day of the 10th month when the tops of the mountains were seen, and then adding this total amount of days to October 18, 2011. The resulting date will give us the date on our modern calendar when the tops of the mountains will be seen. Now when we count the amount of days from the 17th day of the 7th month to the 1st day of the 10th month assuming a 30 day a month calendar being referenced in the days of the flood, we get exactly 74 days. And adding these 74 days to October 18, we get December 31, 2011. This is the day in which the tops of the mountains will be seen. It will be at the end of the year 2011.

What could it mean that at this time the tops of the mountains will be seen? One thing it obviously and literally means is that the flood is decreasing as evidenced by the first sign of land being seen at the tops of the mountains. But what is the spiritual lessen the Lord is attempting to teach us through this phraseology of the tops of the mountains? In searching out this matter, let's take a little closer look at the word "mountains." When we do so, we discover that the Hebrew word for "mountains" (probably pronounced he-hareem) can be used to represent God Himself as, for example, we read in Psalm 121, 

Ps 121:1   I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills [that is, mountains] , from whence cometh my help . 

In other words, I lift up mine eyes to God who is symbolized by the mountains, from whence cometh my help. And in Psalm 125:2 we read, 

Ps 125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even forever. 

In other words, even as the mountains are round about Jerusalem to protect it, so the Lord is round about his people because the mountains are representative of God Himself; He is the one who is round about His people and who protects them. 

But if the word, mountains, can symbolize the Lord Himself, it is the tops of the mountains that will be seen. The tops of the mountains emphasize all the more that this is God being represented by the mountains being seen. To be the very tops of the mountains points to the highest points of the mountains, or the very heads (another viable translation of the word "tops") of the mountains. This can be none other than the great and holy Lord Himself; He is at the very tops of the mountains. So that the tops of the mountains will be seen on December 31 could mean that this is when God's people will see Him face to face in heaven. This does make one think that the end of December might be the time in which God's people are raptured and they see Him in person, but because when this tops of the mountains will be seen on December 31 is not yet the end of the flood account when Noah finally touches dry ground about 5 months later, I tend to think that this is still probably not yet the time of Heaven or the End of the World. I think that the tops of the mountains were seen is like a metaphor that expresses the realization that the Lord Himself is above it all, sovereign and in control of all the events taking place. This is a great reminder to us that our great almighty Lord is guiding everything at His sovereign hand so that we can just rest in His loving arms, even if at the end of this year, He still has not yet returned. Do you see how comforting these words are: the tops of the mountains were seen? He knows we long for Him, and He will come in His perfect timing to free us from the bondage of this world, and from the sin of these bodies, and from the forces of the evil one who is destined for destruction. Do not be discouraged, but learn to rest in everything He does or doesn't do, for we can be assured that whatever it is, it is done perfectly, for He is perfect. 

Now the next thing we read in the flood account is recorded in Genesis 8:6-9:

6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. 

From this account we are told that Noah then opened the window of the ark at the end of 40 days. At this time there still would be little, if any, land which was not still under the influence of the wind, tides and waves, so there would still not be any habitable dry ground. This is why when the dove is sent out, it soon returns to the Ark because it can find no place to rest the sole of her foot; no place to be able to survive on its own even though about a month and a half earlier the tops of the mountains were seen. Since when the window of the Ark was opened is mentioned as happening in the verse immediately after the verse which stated that on the 1st day of the 10th month the tops of the mountains were seen, it appears that this opening of the window to the ark took place 40 days after the 1st day of the 10th month. We already concluded that the 1st day of the 10th month would be on December 31st, so counting 40 days from this date brings us to February 9 of 2012. This is when the window of the Ark will be opened. The open window signifies that God's people can now begin to see outside the Ark to get a better idea as to when dry ground would finally come. What this would mean for us is that come February 9th, 2012, God's people who are represented by Noah will open the window, spiritually speaking, in order to really begin to search as to when the spiritual flood waters, which began on May 21, 2011 , will diminish and Heaven will come. Up until this time, God's people may have sort of given up on discovering the time for heaven, being shut in the Ark and all, and the dry ground not having come by the end of December when the mountains were seen, but now they are showing a great interest once again in discovering the time; they have opened the window to look out and begin to understand more clearly when there will be dry ground, and when it will be that they can step from the confines of the Ark onto dry ground into the new heaven and new earth. 

At this time in early February, we are told that Noah sent out a raven to fly about the earth to and fro until the waters were dried up from off the earth. According to the ceremonial law, a raven was an unclean bird, and could not be eaten. You can read of this in Leviticus 11:13-15. What this means is that the raven is a symbol of uncleanness, and to be unclean is to be cursed of God. So when Noah sends out a raven to wander about the earth, it is symbolizing the uncleanness or curse which is upon the earth due to the flood of judgment. Notice that the raven was to wander to and fro until the waters were dried from off the earth. This is because God's judgment or curse upon the earth by the flood would not be finished until the ground is dried. What this means for us to day is that God's judgment will still be upon the world right on up until the spiritual flood waters of judgment, which began on May 21, 2011 , are dried from off the face of the earth. So even in February of 2012, God's judgment upon the world will still be taking place. And since we had concluded by many verses that salvation had ended ever since May 21, 2011 , we must logically follow through with this and realize that there is still no more salvation right on up to when Noah, who represents God's people, finally steps onto dry ground in the new heaven and new earth, which time we will discover further on in this message.

Another thing we can gain from realizing that the Lord's judgment will be persisting on into next year is that the period of judgment against the world which we had at one time thought was a literal 5 months cannot be a literal 5 months any longer. This 5 month period of judgment symbolized by the raven is obviously continuing on, and so I think we should see the 5 months as spiritual and no longer literal, and that its actual duration will be from May 21, 2011 until heaven and the End of the World finally comes. I know many will not like what I am saying, but based on all the evidence and proofs which targeted May 21 as being the beginning of the spiritual flood in which salvation has ended, and that as we see here in the flood account that the flood waters clearly continue beyond October 21, 2011 , it is quite reasonable to think that there is still no hope for salvation. I think this is the logical conclusion we must come to at least until the literal account of the flood converted to our modern day calendar as we have been endeavoring to do is disproven by the Lord not returning by the end of May 2012 as we shall see. 

Now in the flood account, we read that Noah, who represents all God's people, not only sent out a raven, but He sent out a dove as well, but the dove soon came back to the Ark because it found no habitable dry ground. We read,

8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

The dove is said to have found no rest for the sole of her foot, but this doesn't have to mean there was absolutely no dry ground, for the scripture already stated 40 days before this time that the tops of the mountains were seen. But as I stated previously, just because the tops of the mountains were seen does not mean that the tops of these mountains were habitable, or that they were not being greatly affected by the winds, waves, and tides to the extent of making them quite incapable of sustaining life, especially the life of a fragile dove. When the scripture says that the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth, it can mean that even if the dove could land on the tops of the mountains at this time, it wouldn't be able to find rest there in so far as being able to live and survive. 

But what does it spiritually mean that Noah sent out a dove? We know that a dove in the Bible was a clean bird and it can be symbolic of the Holy Spirit. Remember when at the Lord's baptism we read, 

Mt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 

So when God's people who are represented by Noah send out a dove, it is as if they are sending out the Holy Spirit through prayer and the study of God's Word in order to determine when dry ground will come. Assuming a literal correlation of the flood account to our day, God's people will be seeking the Lord in prayer and study come this February as to when heaven and the End will come. But the dove who is the Holy Spirit found no rest for the sole of her foot. That is, it will still not be revealed by the Holy Spirit through God's Word the exact timing of the End, for the Holy Spirit found no dry ground upon which to rest, which means the Holy Spirit did not reveal anything more about the timing of the End, but instead returned to the Ark. 

We are told that the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot. In the Bible the sole of the foot or the feet can represent the entire being. We can see this when Jesus washed His disciples feet as recorded in John 13, 

5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet [that is, he that is washed has no need than to wash his feet] , but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 

Notice that Jesus said to Peter that only your feet need to be washed, and this alone makes you completely clean. This is because the feet represent the entire being. For Peter to have his feet cleaned meant his entire being was cleansed. Of course, we know that what Jesus was teaching in the foot washing account or parable is that unless one has his entire being spiritually washed and cleansed at the hands of Jesus Christ alone, he can have no part in the kingdom of God. So the sole of the foot represents the entire being of whatever is in view, and in this case, it represents the entire being of the Holy Spirit. The entire being of the Holy Spirit could reveal no evidence of dry ground and when it might come. 

We read in this account that the dove or Holy Spirit found no rest for the sole of its entire being. What does rest symbolize in the bible? Commonly in the Bible, rest not only has to do with rest from outward disturbances of one kind or another such as rest from ones enemies, but it also has to do with the inner peace of salvation. As the Lord says in Hebrews 4,

Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest [that is, salvation] 

To have rest, then, is to be saved from the judgment and wrath of God. This means that the dove found no rest for its being not only because of perhaps the wind, tides, waves, or other possible conditions then on the earth, but it found no rest in salvation and peace with God. This is placing emphasis upon there being no salvation available in the world, which is exactly what we had already concluded with respect to the sending out of the raven, and the time period after October 21, 2011 . There is no longer any salvation out in the world. God's spiritual flood of judgment has come upon the earth ever since May 21 , and it is still taking place even into February of 2012. So we are once again being taught of God's continuing judgment. This judgment did not end on October 21, 2011 ! 

Now as we continue with the flood account, we read in Genensis 8,

10 And he [that is, Noah] stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 

The King James Version of the Bible says " and he stayed yet other seven days." Actually, I think it would have been better to translate it like this: " and he stayed yet another seven days." The word "other" in the phrase "other 7 days" is commonly translated as "another," and to have so translated it here would have made more sense, but that Noah stayed "another 7 days" does not mean that he had waited 7 days previous and now he was about to stay another 7 days, but what the Lord is simply stating is that Noah stayed or waited another 7 days after he had already waited the previous 40 days before the window of the Ark had been opened and the raven and dove had first been sent out. After these additional 7 days, Noah again sent forth the dove a second time in search of dry ground, but this time, the dove returned at evening with an olive leaf in her beak. The term "evening" is commonly symbolic of spiritual darkness and a time of judgment, so this emphasis upon the dove returning at evening is once again letting us know that there is still judgment and darkness upon the world at this time. There is no salvation available! In other words, the spiritual judgment which began on May 21 is still upon the earth even at this point in the flood account, which if we add 7 days to February 9th when the window of the Ark had been first opened comes to February 16th assuming a 30 day a month calendar. This is when the dove will be sent out for the second time and returned with an olive leaf in its beak. 

Now I want to take a little closer look at the olive leaf that was brought back in this account. What is the Lord trying to teach us by this olive leaf? First of all, let's recognize that this olive leaf is one and the same as a little olive branch. The Hebrew word used for leaf can be translated branch, so it could be said that the dove came back with an olive branch in its beak. But what does the olive branch represent? In the Bible, an olive tree represents a kingdom either of this world or of the next (see Romans 11:17, 24). When it refers to the kingdom of God, which is the kingdom of the next life, it is one and the same as referring to God's people who are, for instance, called " the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth" (Rev. 11:4). So the olive branch which the dove brings back is symbolic of life in a kingdom, and in this case, it must be symbolic of life in the kingdom of God because it represents the kingdom of God to come, which is the dry ground, that Noah and God's people so long for. That the dove brings back an olive branch is clear evidence that the kingdom of God is very near, and it represents solid evidence for beginning to know the timing of the coming of dry ground, which is Heaven. This should all be very encouraging to us. This could mean that in February 2012, the sending out of the dove, which represents the prayers and Bible study of God's people through the Holy Spirit as to when Heaven will come, will reveal some good solid information as to the timing for the coming of Heaven, which is the dry ground and eternal life in the kingdom of God. 

We next read in the flood account of Genesis 8: 

12 And he [Noah] stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. 

So Noah sent out the dove a third and last time, but this time the dove did not return back to him with any type of evidence for dry ground. Why is this? Remember that the sending out of the dove is a picture of God's people praying and studying by the Holy Spirit as to when heaven or dry ground will come. This time the prayer's and study of God's people results in the dove finding dry ground. This is why the dove did not return because it discovered dry ground where it could survive. This is a picture of the Holy Spirit having found, and in so doing, having revealed to God's people the exact time when Heaven will come. Since this is said to be 7 days of waiting or staying after the dove was sent out the 2nd time, these 7 days added to February 16th comes to the 23rd of February 2012 when God's people will know the very time when heaven or dry ground will come. They may not know it absolutely for certain as of yet; nevertheless, they will know. So February appears to be an important month for praying and seeking for the timing in which Heaven will come, and it appears that the Lord will reveal the needed information by near the end of February 2012. 

The next thing we read in the flood account of Genesis 8 is this:

13  And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 

Counting the number of days from the 1st day of the 10th month when the mountains had been seen to this 1st day of the 1st month when the earth, as here stated, was dried, and Noah removed the covering of the ark to see that the ground was dry are exactly 90 days assuming a 30 day a month calendar. Now adding these 90 days to December 31 when the tops of the mountains will be seen comes to March 31 of 2012. This will be the time when Noah, who is a picture of God's people, will remove the covering of the ark and see that the face of the ground is dry. This removing of the ark's cover means God's people who are represented by Noah can now clearly see the dry ground without any obstruction blocking their view; that is, they can now clearly understand the timing of the end when Heaven will actually swallow them up in the Rapture to be in the new heaven and new earth forevermore. Whereas in February they will have gained a good understanding of when heaven will come, at the end of March, they will now have a strong understanding and conviction as to the timing of the coming of heaven, for they can now, without any obstruction to their understanding, clearly understand or see when heaven and the End of the World is going to come.

But even though God's people will be able to clearly understand when heaven will come at this time of March 31 of 2012, they will not actually step on dry ground into heaven until near the end of the next month of May. As we read in Genesis 8,

14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15  And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 

It is the 2nd month, the 27th day of the month when God's people who are pictured by Noah will finally be commanded to go forth out from the ark to step on dry ground. This is exactly 56 days from the 1st day of the 1st month when the covering of the ark will have been removed. Now adding these 56 days to March 31 comes to May 26th of 2012. This is when God's people will finally step into heaven on the dry ground. So, assuming our literal correlation with the flood of Noah's day to be correct, it appears that God's people will go to heaven on May 26th, 2012. This just happens to be the day when at sundown the modern day Jews begin their celebration of what we today call Pentecost. Could this just be coincidence? I suppose it could be, but it certainly seems to add some support to the validity of the date seeing that it is one of the primary 3 feast day celebrations of the Old Testament, and we have learned a long time ago how the Lord keys major historical events to these very feast days. 

Summary

Okay, in summary, we started out with the words of the Lord, 

"as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." 

This gave us warrant for seeing the flood account as a model or type of what it will be like at the coming of the Lord. With respect to the time scale of the flood, we have assumed a literal correlation between the time-scale of the flood in Noah's day, which began on the 17th day of the 2nd month, to the time-scale of the spiritual flood in our day, which began on May 21, 2011 . This led us to see that the spiritual ark in which are all God's people who were saved either on or before May 21, 2011 landed spiritually on top of Mount Ararat on October 18th according to our modern day calendar. We also learned that the tops of the mountains will be seen come December 31, and this represents the possibility of actually being raptured to heaven at the end of December. But since the flood account does not actually come to an end at this time, I do not firmly believe that heaven will actually come on this date although it is certainly possible. 40 days after the mountains will be seen on December 31, the window of the ark will be opened on February 9th, which symbolizes the open intent of God's people to discover the exact time of Heaven. This is when a raven and a dove will be sent out from the Ark. The raven symbolizes the judgment of God upon the earth; that there is still no possibility for salvation ever since May 21, 2011 . The dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit being sent out through the prayers and study of God's people in search for the timing of Heaven. The first time the dove is sent out it returns with no evidence as to the timing of Heaven. The second time the dove will be sent out 7 days later on February 16th, the dove returns at evening with an olive branch. The olive branch symbolizes some solid evidence for the timing of Heaven. The third time the dove is sent out, it does not return because it found habitable dry ground on which to survive. This is symbolic for God's people through the Holy Spirit (the dove) discovering and knowing when Heaven will come. This will take place on February 23rd of 2012. Then 90 days after the 1st day of the 10th month, which is December 31 according to our modern calendar, the covering of the Ark will be removed, and God's people as typified by Noah will clearly see dry ground; that is, they will clearly perceive the timing of Heaven and of the End. This absolutely clear perception of the timing of the coming of Heaven will take place on March 31, 2012. If the literal calculations are correct, God's people as typified by Noah will finally step onto the dry ground, which is Heaven, 56 days later on May 26th, 2012. The evening of this very day will begin the feast day of Pentecost or First Fruits, which may add some support for the End date of May 26th, 2012 since it has been well known how major historical events are typically keyed to the exact dates of the biblical feast days.

Now before finishing, I want to take some time based on this message to make some logical comments. First of all, based upon the fact that the spiritual flood account beginning on May 21, 2011 will actually continue all the way to May 26, 2012, or to the very end of May 2012 according to my previous message entitled "The October 21 message," I don't believe we will be able to conclude that the biblical calendar dates of history are faulty in some way until after May of 2012. If the Lord does not return by the end of May 2012, I then think that much of the proofs and evidence for the accuracy of the biblical calendar will fall apart, and we will have to then conclude that something in the biblical calendar must be seriously incorrect in some way. But as it is, I think all the proofs are still valid with just some minor revisions being made in focus; that is, the last end-time dates of May 21, 1988, September 7, 1994, May 21, 2011 , and October 21, 2011 are all still valid dates, but their fulfillments are not outward and literal, but completely spiritual. Everything points to 2011 because that is when the flood of judgment began, which was on May 21, 2011 according to the biblical calendar, but if a literal correlation of the flood account to our modern day calendar beginning on May 21 is correct as is presented as a logical possibility in this message - one thing is for sure: this must be held up as at least a logical possibility - then just as it was in the days of Noah, the flood will continue on into the next year, and could as I have endeavored to show not be complete until the end of May 2012. 

Next, based upon all the proofs and evidence for the accuracy of the biblical calendar dates, the logical assumption must be that we are still in the time of judgment as, which began on May 21, 2011 , and will so continue until God's people step onto dry ground in Heaven. So the focus of God's people should not be in evangelizing the world since as of May 21, 2011 salvation has ended according to the biblical calendar of history, but our focus should continue to be upon the feeding of God's sheep who although are now spiritually grounded in the Ark upon Mount Ararat, they are still quite hungry and must be cared for. As I previously stated, I don't think we can conclude the biblical calendar dates to be incorrect in some way until after May 2012. If we are not taken to Heaven by then, in my mind, we can then logically assume an error in the 40 year old biblical calendar of history, and then everything with respect to its dates will have to be reevaluated. So if you have previously held to the accuracy of the biblical calendar, don't assume that it is inaccurate in some way just yet; the flood account is not yet finished, and until it is, I don't think we can assume that the calendar is inaccurate in its dates. The Lord had given us the very Day of Judgment, which was May 21, 2011 , but with respect to the very end of this judgment and the timing for going to Heaven, even as Noah had to wait many months before he was able to see the exact timing of Heaven, so could we. Remember, Noah was not able to clearly understand the exact timing for going to heaven on dry ground without having any obstruction to his understanding until 56 days before he actually stepped onto dry ground. So as the time gets closer and closer, we should be able to see more precisely as to when the dry ground of Heaven will come. I am sure that just as Noah and his family became very tired of waiting in the Ark and longed for to step upon dry ground, we also do and have become weary at times. But let's be patient,

Co 1:20   For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 

And as we read in 2Peter 3:9, 

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 

Now as always, 

24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. 

This is Brother Mike at May-212011.com. Brothers and Sisters, we have got to be right there. The flood waters are lessening, the Ark has run aground, and we who are in the ark of Jesus Christ our wonderful Lord are simply now waiting for dry ground. If there is a literal correlation to the time scale of the flood, then it could be as long as until the end of May 2012. After that point, if the Lord has still not returned, there must be something in the calendar that is amiss, and we will have to completely reevaluate. But one thing we know for absolute sure no matter what is that the coming of the Lord and heaven will come, and it will come very soon. As is stated in Revelation 22:20, 

Re 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
