The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Isaiah 13:6-7, “Wail, for the day of the LORD is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore, all hands will fall limp, and every man’s heart will melt.”

The phrase, “the Day of the LORD,” is repeated more than twenty times in the Bible. That Day commences with the Great Tribulation and continues into the Millennial Kingdom of the LORD – a

Kingdom of world peace that lasts for 1,000 years.

Since the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we have been living in the Church Age. But,

that age will cease when the LORD Jesus returns and His Church is caught up to meet Him in the air.

This is called the Rapture (snatching away) and Paul speaks clearly of this in First Thessalonians when he says,

15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain

until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the

archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the

clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.

18 Therefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thes. 4:15-18).

The Church is not a particular denomination, as we think today (e.g., Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, etc.);

The Church is comprised of all truly born-again people –individuals that have truned away from sin,

asked and been forgiven by the LORD Jesus Christ. They have hope (future certainty) of an eternal

home in Heaven. Salvation is not gained by personal righteousness. Our righteousness is as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6 KJV); rather, it is granted freely to those who believe totally in the LORD Jesus Christ, who died for them on the Cross and arose from the dead, and is alive forevermore!

the Coming of the LORD Jesus Christ. We will discuss “The Judgment Seat of Christ,” “The Marriage

Supper of the Lamb,” “The Great Tribulation,” “Armageddon,” the Second Coming of Christ,” and much

more. We earnestly seek your prayers for the writer and for all who are recipients of this Letter. We

want everyone we can reach to know and receive the Saving Gospel of Jesus! The time is short!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
