FREE BOOK:
"2007" by
Shelby Corbitt. Here's an excerpt:
The
rapture of the church (God's children) will happen during the SUMMER
OF 2007. This could be anytime from June 21-September 21. This means
Jesus Christ is going to appear in the eastern sky and call all His
children up to Heaven, leaving all the sinners and unbelievers
behind - this is not the end of the world - but it will be the
beginning of a terrible tribulation for those left behind. Rapture
is a Greek word that means caught up.
