is providential that this, the most Messianic book in the Old
Testament, has been preserved in its entirety and delivered to us
today intact.
The care and commitment the Essenes gave to the task of copying and
preserving the text indicates a high view of Scripture that is the
underpinning of the Bible as God's
infallible and inerrant Word."

"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.
