The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Zephaniah 1:7-10, “Be silent before the Lord GOD! For the day of the LORD is near, for the LORD has prepared a sacrifice, He has consecrated His guests.
8 “Then it will come about on the day of the LORD’S sacrifice That I will punish the princes, the king’s sons And all who clothe themselves with foreign garments.
9 “And I will punish on that day all who leap on the temple threshold, who fill the house of their lord with violence and deceit.
10 “On that day,” declares the LORD, “There will be the sound of a cry from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills.”
11 “Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar, for all the people of Canaan will be silenced; all who weigh out silver will be cut off.
12 “It will come about at that time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are stagnant in spirit, who say in their hearts, ‘The LORD will not do good or evil!’”

I am of sufficient vintage that I remember when television was the “new kid on the block.” Simply watching it “snow” from as far away as Kansas City was an evening’s entertainment! So, when
I say that we now have a plethora of preachers on TV, I know whereof I speak.

But, have you noted how many TV preachers (the great and the
gruesome) are emphasizing the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? Yes, some are “thin” in their theology, but many are clearly “reading” the signs of the times!

I have preached for years on the Second Coming of Christ; now I can see it virtually “upon us.” There is absolutely nothing prophecied in Scripture that stands between our generation and
the Rapture of the Church. The next major occurrence is Jesus’ coming in the clouds of the sky to “catch away” (rapture) His church.

His church is of no particular Christian denomination; rather, it is
the ingathering of all truly “born again” believers. Recent news
carries the account of more than 7,000 Muslims in Egypt who have come to faith in Jesus Christ! Many of them had visions of
Jesus beckoning them to be truly “born again!” That has occurred in our own country, except that it has not made the news.

I understand that this Grands Letter is reaching scores of persons who are already born again. Still, there are other readers who are not. Let me urge you to seriously consider
yielding your life to Him. It’s quite simple: pray and ask the
LORD’s forgiveness. Be sincerely sorry for your sin and tell
Him so! Ask His forgiveness for everything you done that was
outside of His will. Be specific! Be sincere! Believe that He has
truly forgiven you. How will you know whether He has? You
will know. That’s His responsibility, and He never fails!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
