196 DATE WITH THE GODS

trying to say is that the spiritual preparation means, 'to
be ready at any time.' Now if you happen to be one of the
people who is still alive when this end of the world
comes, then you'll be one of the 144,000 who catch a
ship, an ark somewhere to a safe place, far from the
antichrist, the beasts and false prophets."
"What would I have to do to get on that ship?"
"Just keep on listening. I told you it was going to be
interesting. Now, let's get to this schedule of events. We
have the Bible here, and you've done your reading, so
our common ground is excellent.
First will come the Rapture. This is the moment
when Christ will claim his people from the Earth, the
dead first. Those who died, not only believing in him, but
practicing his teachings, which is to be at peace with
oneself, to love and understand God, and never to wish
any evil or do any evil to your fellow beings. That's all
you have to do to buy your one-way ticket to eternal life.
Then comes the Tribulation period. The seven years
prophesied by Daniel, the time when the antichrist will
occupy the world's throne, or center of power. You
already know this starts when he comes with his
proposal for the seven year peace plan.
After he starts calling himself God, he11 continue to
rule for another three and a half years before the great
war, Armageddon, breaks out, which is the next event.
That is the war to end all wars. This one will be so
terrible that Jesus said in Matthew 24 that if he didn't
shorten those days there wouldn't be a single survivor.
Then will be the return of Christ as a Superstar.
This concept was beyond the imaginations of those
on the scene in the earlier messages. But you now live
with the atomic-hydrogen, megaton bombs, and who
knows whatever other war machinery. You do not have
to stretch your imagination to picture a war that would
devastate the entire planet."
