doing an extremely explicit puppet show with anatomically correct puppets in the middle of a school playground but then also making sure that the children neither (a) see or (b) even know about what is happening. for example you might use a "chinese screen" to screen their vision and also consider making the children wear http://www.sharpesafety.com/catalog/images/9/2099.jpg

I STILL BELIEVE I RECEIVED A PROPHETIC DREAM FROM GOD ABOUT THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH IN 1986. I WAS SUPPOSE TO WRITE THAT DREAM DOWN IN A BOOK AND NOT SHARE IT OR RELEASE IT UNTIL GOD TOLD ME TO. I KEPT THAT DREAM TO MYSELF UNTIL JANUARY 2003. I HAD BEEN TERRIBLY ILL. I DID NOT THINK I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO RECOVER AND I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE PRAYING FOR ME. A WOMAN FROM CHURCH, WHO I DID NOT KNOW VERY WELL AT THE TIME, CALLED ME ONE DAY AND TOLD ME SHE HAD A WORD FROM GOD FOR ME. SHE SAID GOD TOLD HER TO TELL ME I WAS GOING TO LIVE AND NOW WAS THE TIME TO TELL THE WORD HE HAD GIVEN ME. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WOKE UP I WAS 1000 TIMES STRONGER THAN I WAS THE DAY BEFORE. I KNEW GOD HAD TOUCHED ME AND I INDEED WAS GOING TO LIVE. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF THE WOMAN WHO HAD CALLED ME THE DAY BEFORE. SHE WAS RIGHT. I HAD RECEIVED A MIRACLE FROM GOD. THE ONLY WORD GOD HAD GIVEN ME THAT I COULD THINK OF WAS THE RAPTURE DREAM. I HAD NEVER TOLD ANYONE AT MY CHURCH ABOUT THE DREAM. I AUTOMATICALLY FELT CONFIRMATION IN MY SPIRIT THAT THE WORD SHE TOLD ME I WAS TO RELEASE WAS THE PROPHETIC DREAM I HAD ABOUT THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH. AS SOON AS I WAS COMPLETELY HEALED AND BACK TO NORMAL, I STARTED WRITING THE BOOK AND PRESENTED IT FOR PUBLISHING IN JANUARY 2004. IT WAS FINALLY PUBLISHED AND READY FOR DISTRIBUTION IN JUNE 2004. IN THE DREAM, GOD SAID HE WAS GIVING ME 3 TO 3 1/2 YEARS TO SHARE THE RAPTURE PROPHECY FROM THE TIME I GOT THE BOOK PUBLISHED AND THEN THE RAPTURE WOULD HAPPEN. SINCE I GOT THE BOOK PUBLISHED IN JUNE 2004 THAT'S WHY I SAID THE RAPTURE WOULD BE 2007. THREE TO THREE AND A HALF YEARS WOULD BE ANYTIME FROM JUNE 2007 TO DECEMBER 2007. GOD SHOWED ME THAT MY FAMILY AND I WOULD BE SWIMMING IN THE POOL THE DAY BEFORE THE RAPTURE AND THAT IS WHY I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT IT HAD TO BE LITERAL SUMMERTIME 2007. WHEN LITERAL SUMMERTIME CAME AND WENT I CHANGED IT TO SUMMERLIKE WEATHER, SINCE WE ARE STILL ABLE TO SWIM EVEN NOW. I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY THE RAPTURE DID NOT HAPPEN IN THE TIME FRAME I SAID. I KNEW I WAS NOT TO RELEASE THIS PROPHECY UNTIL GOD TOLD ME TO. THAT IS WHY I KEPT THE DREAM TO MYSELF FROM 1986 TO 2003. I STILL BELIEVE THE PROPHETIC DREAM I HAD WAS FROM GOD. I HAVE TOLD THE DREAM JUST AS GOD GAVE IT TO ME. THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THAT I RELEASED THE DREAM AT THE WRONG TIME AND GOT THE BOOK PUBLISHED TOO EARLY. MAYBE THE DREAM HAD SOME KIND OF SYMBOLIC MEANING INSTEAD OF A LITERAL MEANING THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT YET. I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE WRONG AND WHY THE PROPHECY FAILED. I PROMISE ALL OF YOU THAT I DID NOT INTENTIONALLY MEAN TO HURT OR MISLEAD ANYBODY. I PROMISE I DID NOT MAKE UP THE DREAM. I KNOW MANY OF YOU ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED, BUT I ASSURE YOU NO ONE IS AS DISAPPOINTED AS I AM. PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I HAVE SHAKENED ANYONE'S FAITH WITH THIS PROPHECY. I KNEW I WAS GOING TO GET MUCH OPPOSITION TO THE PROPHECY SO I WAS PREPARED FOR IT AND WAS DETERMINED NO ONE WOULD CHANGE MY MIND. THE CRITICISM REALLY DID NOT BOTHER ME ANY. I STILL BELIEVE IN A RAPTURE OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD BEFORE THE TRIBULATION BEGINS. I STILL BELIEVE IT HAS TO BE SOON BECAUSE OF ALL THE WARS AND FIGHTING AROUND THE WORLD AND THE HATEFULLNESS AGAINST ISRAEL, GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE!! I STILL BELIEVE THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH WILL BE IN MY LIFETIME AND IT WILL HAPPEN THE WAY GOD SHOWED ME IN THE DREAM. I STILL BELIEVE GOD WILL SEND A VERBAL VOICE TO WARN THE NATION BEFORE HE COMES BACK. MY TIMING WAS WRONG AND FOR THAT I DO APOLOGIZE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE RELEASED THE PROPHECY WHEN I DID. SO AGAIN, PLEASE FORGIVE ME. THERE WERE A FEW THINGS IN MY DREAM THAT I SAID WOULD HAPPEN BEFORE THE RAPTURE THAT NEVER HAPPENED. FIRST A GREAT OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD WITH MIRACLES HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. THAT HAS YET TO HAPPEN. I DO NOT THINK WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. GOD HAS TO POUR HIS SPIRIT OUT WHENEVER HE CHOOSES. NEXT, THERE WAS ALOT OF SUFFERING AND A NEED FOR FOOD AND SHELTER FROM MANY PEOPLE. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. GOD HAS A TIME ALREADY PLANNED FOR THE RAPTURE. HE WILL CHOOSE SOMEONE TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE BEFORE HE COMES, BECAUSE THAT IS HIS NATURE. WE CAN'T LET THIS DELAY HARDEN OUR HEARTS SO THAT WHEN ANOTHER VOICE COMES CRYING OUT WE IGNORE IT. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
