Dear Special Friend,
As I write I have just received news that Robin Williams today took his own life. The pain of depression that he so successfully camouflaged with his stand-up comedy overwhelmed him, and he decided that life was too painful to bear. Now Beverley is calling to me from downstairs; she tells me Lauren Bacall has passed away at 89 years.
There are two things we cannot avoid: death and taxes. This year Beverley and I are behind on lots of things — we got an extension on our taxes but need to go and see our accountant next week and take care of Uncle Sam. This has been a busy, almost traumatic year. We sold our Los Angeles property and moved out of the big city to Moorpark, and this has been an emotional upheaval. That partially explains the deferred taxes, but we will take care of them — soon.
Death is something we cannot do much about. Perhaps we may delay it, but avoiding it altogether is impossible unless we live until Jesus comes: The latter is looking more likely every day.
Think of these words and picture in your mind what they represent:

Gaza
Hamas
Rockets
1,900 dead people
ISIS
Crucifixions
Mosul
Nineveh
60,000 Christians expelled
Beheadings
|
Kurds
Iraq
Syria
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17
Putin
Crimea
Kiev
Riots
Ebola
Pestilences

Missionaries
Russia
Sanctions
China
North Korea
Terrorists
People on a mountain
The Rapture
|
The prophets longed to see our day because these are the Last Days. Jesus is coming soon. The headline news sounds like the words of Jesus, Daniel, Paul, Matthew and Luke. The prophets described deadly plagues, the persecution of Jesus’ followers, wars in and around Jerusalem, and those terrible events we are now witnessing on the nightly news. Sixty thousand Christians have fled Mosul (Nineveh). The ISIS fanatics gave them the choice: Convert to Islam or leave; stay and be killed. On a nearby mountain thousands of Yazidi Iraqis are starving and dying of thirst.
We could be the Final Generation that passes through the Great Tribulation and sees Jesus come. We could escape death!!
Our team is about to leave to plan for a great campaign in El Salvador. We will be holding evangelistic meetings in a stadium that seats 27,000. We are, however, hoping to get one that holds 47,000. Our aim is at least 5,000 born again souls, baptized into Christ. Pray for these people.
We have started on prime time TV in India. Look at the pictures and see the people we are reaching. Please help me raise $500,000.00 for evangelism in Latin America and India. Please be aware of this great and solemn truth: it is our duty to take God’s Good News to a dying world. The World needs it and Heaven demands it. Please partner with us in El Salvador and India.
Please become involved in the one great important work. Please help light a candle in the world’s darkness. My hands are tied without your help. I am waiting to hear from you. Thank you with all my heart.
Yours in the Blessed Hope,
John Carter

INDIA CHALLENGES
David Carter has just returned from India, land of more than a billion beautiful souls. He reports: “We are now back on India TV. We need your prayers and financial support for the Indian people.”
EL SALVADOR SAYS, “COME!”
The Carter Report team answers the challenge.
The place for the evangelistic campaign is San Salvador, capital of El Salvador. The venue is a stadium that seats 27,000. We are also looking at a larger stadium that seats 47,000.
El Salvador can be dangerous. Gangs are active. Muggings, robberies, and murders are commonplace.
God has his elect children in El Salvador, waiting to hear God’s saving message. WE GO IN THE NAME AND STRENGTH OF THE LORD. Please support the great El Salvador Campaign this coming November. Please give while you can to light a Gospel fire that will blaze in the darkness.
The Secret Rapture Delusion
1 Thessalonians 4:16,17
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
There is nothing “secret or silent” about Christ’s Return. His coming will be AUDIBLE and VISIBLE. The results will be astounding: the dead saints will be raised, and the living saints made immortal. Both will be caught up in the clouds together to meet the Lord. The “Secret Rapture” is a deception and delusion.
The Redeemed
Revelation 7:13,14
“Then one of the elders asked me, ‘These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?’ I answered, ‘Sir, you know.’And he said, ‘These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.’”
God’s people, described in Revelation 7:9, pass through the Great Tribulation. The idea that the Saints are taken from the Earth to Heaven before the Great Tribulation is one of the deceptions of these Last Days.
The Great Tribulation
Matthew 24:21,22
“For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.”
False religion teaches that the Church will be taken to Heaven before the Great Tribulation. The Bible teaches that God’s people experience the Great Tribulation before the return of Christ. Around the world many of God’s saints are already suffering persecution and death for their faith. For them, the Great Tribulation is NOW.
Where are the Dead?
John 11:11
“After he had said this, he went on to tell them, ‘Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.’”
Jesus said the dead are sleeping. They are NOT in heaven or hell. As Lazarus was raised from the dead, so God’s people will be resurrected. See John 11:43,44
Ebola!
Luke 21:11
“There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.”
The Antichrist
2 Thessalonians 2:4
“He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.”
Antichrist hides in false religion. He does his deceptions before the Second Coming. False religion teaches that Antichrist rules the world AFTER the Second Coming of Christ.
Army of Evil Spirits
Revelation 9:13-16
“The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God. It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, ‘Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.’ And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. The number of the mounted troops was two hundred thousand. I heard their number.”
Revelation pictures an army of EVIL SPIRITS. ISIS and other evil groups are inspired by demons. This manifestation of demonism will increase until Jesus returns.
