Except for this explanation, this page is exactly as I put it on the Internet in October, 1999 |
has been a non-profit Corporation since 1957.... ELIJAH REVIVAL |
was not organized until October 13, 1986......SOUND Intoducing Dr.Holt
........On that date Bishop JACK CATES and Dr. ROBERT HOLT, MD
began a series of Evangelistic Meetings in the STAFFORD MEMORIAL
CHURCH in Garland, North Carolina....attended largely by Mexican
Farm Laborers as well as English-speaking Garland residents of various
Faiths...The THEME was The MIRACLES of ELIJAH.....
..........Dr. Holt became the regular PASTOR of this group after this
series, and is licensed to PREACH by the CLEARVIEW HOLINESS
CHURCH...ELDON MALDONADO, a bi-lingual Evangelist, also assisted
with the meetings, at which a number of people were healed...........
September, 1987 Dr. Holt, always interested in Prophecy, as well as
the interface between RELIGION and HEALTH and MEDICINE, found
great significance in Pope John Paul II's major TOUR of the United States
in cooperation with President Ronald Reagan. The United States had
recently recognized the Vatican as a Soverign State for the first time in
American history..[Our forefathers came to America to AVOID such
political-religious entanglements and the persecution that results!]
......As a "REWARD" to the Pope for a secret pact between Reagan and
John-Paul II, America had already changed its policy in 1984 towards help-
ing underdeveloped nations in BIRTH-CONTROL EDUCATION under
pressure from the VATICAN.....Dr. Holt saw this as a fulfillment of certain
NUMERICAL prophecies in the BOOK of DANIEL.........At that time, Sept.
1987, he made some prophecies based on Pope John-Paul II's tour that
were fulfilled very accurately during the Gulf War "DESERT STORM" in
1990-1991, and in other events that occurred in 1994...
......With another member of the ELIJAH REVIVAL CHURCH of Garland,
NC, Dr. Holt traveled to New Orleans to experience himself the Charisma
this pontiff exercised over the United States of America and most of the
world at that time.......On that same trip the Garland "delegation" also visited
and experienced one of Jimmy Swaggart's REVIVALS in Baton Rouge.....
HURRICANE GILBERT...Sept.11,12,12...1988
In 1988, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Evangelists and Preachers,
were expecting the "Third Wicked Generation of Israel" prophecy to be
fulfilled, since that year was 40 YEARS after Israel became a
NATION in the spring of 1948....Particularly vigorous in
"getting the WORD OUT" was a group shepherded by EDGAR WISE-
NANT, an accountant, former NASA employee, and practicing Pentecostal
PROPHET and Investigator, who had published a little book titled "88
Reasons Why the RAPTURE will be in 1988"....Seeing this as a
REPETITION of the MILLERITE experience 144 [not 144,000] years
previous to the FALL FEASTS of 1988, Dr. Holt documented the experi-
ence of the local promoters of the "RAPTURE 88" MOVEMENT, led by
JERRY McLAMB of Coats, NC....INSTEAD OF A "RAPTURE" ON
THE DATE PREDICTED BY EDGAR AND JERRY [AND MANY
OTHERS] THERE WAS HURRICANE GILBERT.
Y2K
The "RAPTURE 88" people were, as we are all aware, "DISAPPOINTED"
when the world did not END on Sept 11, 12, and 13 of 1988...as were
the MILLERITES when the world did not END on October 22, 1844...
However, no one learns a whole lot from other people's mistakes and
disappointments.....Hysteria was high in 1999 in regards to the YEAR
2000 and aY2K Computer CODE "BUG"...No longer
expecting the World to END by Fire from HEAVEN, or some ACT
of the Almighty, many were predicting instead TEOTWAWKI..."The
END of the WORLD as we KNOW IT", expecting major disruption
of Banking, Government Programs, Military Installations, Food supply,
Medical care, Transportation, Public Utilities, and Public Confidence
due to "glitches" and failure in some COMPUTERS world-wide.
....There were, indeed, reasons for concern, and the WARNINGS
even from the Government were coming out in a muted fashion....
But most agreed the WORLD WOULD NOT END.
Written in the Fall of 1999...Edited on 4-17-2000 to update to present...

23 YEARS LATER!

Jerry McLamb, Edgar Wisenant, Pastor Jack Cates, and the others gathered in that little store-front church in Erwin, North Carolina during the time they were sure that the "Rapture of the Saints" would occur on Sept. 11, 12, 13 of 1988 were of course disappointed that the only thing that occurred on these dates was Hurricane Gilbert, which caused severe damage in Jamaica. |
|
However, this year, 2011, after many more such dates have come and gone, I was amazed to discover, while involved in research on the last three angels of Revelation chapter 14 (there are six angels in all), that the 5th of these angels represents the "Rapture 88 Movement", and that this was all planned by Jesus over 1900 years ago! Jesus was indeed there, up in the sky. However, it did not fit in with his overall plans to show himself to Jerry McLamb or any of the others waiting on those date. There would be another angel in 1993-1994, and yet another angel on September 11, 2001, almost exactly 13 years after the Erwin and Coates "Rapture 88" group were disappointed.
