and they shall prophesy."

et me begin by
introducing myself. I was raised in the Baptist church and have been a Christian
for 25 years. During this time I have been involved in various Christian
service: teaching Sunday School, leading youth discipleship groups,
participating in mission trips, participating in prayer groups, involved in
women's ministry, etc.
"Having been raised in
church, I have heard Revelation taught many times and have been taught about the
Rapture. My entire teaching, AND belief has always been that the entire church,
the Bride of Christ, all genuine believers in Jesus, will be raptured either
prior to the tribulation or certainly before the worst of the tribulation.
"Early in the morning of October 25, 1997, I had the following dream....
"I was driving home, alone in a Volkswagen van, down a country road
bordered by farmland. Ahead of me on either side lining the road were large
eucalyptus trees. I looked ahead of me and saw a beautiful house that sat on the
right hand side of the road just before the line of eucalyptus trees started. As
I was looking at the house I saw, with my peripheral vision, to the left, on the
horizon, what appeared to be a eucalyptus tree that was so large it reached all
the way from the horizon as far into the sky as I could see. (I could see this
far because the land was very flat.) When I looked closer I saw that it wasn't a
tree at all but thousands of people in white moving up into the sky.
I knew it was the rapture and I was terrified. I slammed on the brakes; the van
turned end over end. I remember thinking, 'I should be hurt or killed' but
instead I was standing on the side of the road with my arms in the air crying
out to Jesus. Then I woke up, very shaken.
"I went downstairs to ask God what the dream meant. I couldn't understand
why I was not in the rapture because I know I am a Christian. God showed me that
on the side of the van was written the word 'carnality'.
Then He reminded me of the Parable of the Ten Virgins. He told me several things and said, 'Do not listen to Satan's whispers. There
are not many days left.'"
