Dr. David Reagan Update
Last week, I posted a response To Dr. David Reagan’s critical review of Antichrist and God’s War on Terror in his Lamplighter Magazine. Click here to jump to that. Today, Dr. Reagan responded via e-mail. Below is his very kind response. I was disappointed but certainly understand his situation. On the other hand, unless someone else takes me up on the offer, the invitation is open-ended. I truly believe that such a project would be very beneficial to the Body of Christ. For now, I will likely publish a brief response in a few weeks but leave the weight of the matter for another time and venue.
Joel:
I have been on vacation, thus my delay in responding. As I said in my article, I was very impressed with your book. You are an excellent writer. I appreciate your invitation to co-author a book on the issue, but I just do not have the time to devote to it. I produce a weekly TV program and edit our magazine, and those two jobs take all my time. Also, I am currently preparing a third edition of my book about the U.S. in prophecy, and I have two other books to write following that – one on Jesus in prophecy and one on Israel in prophecy. So, my cup is full and running over.
God bless you.

Sometimes I can’t help but think, that if the good doctor really thought his position was as strong as he claims, he would gladly take the challenge. “I’m too busy, but thanks” is really an avoidance excuse. But this is not the first time someone has begged off in polite society.
Joel, I’m afraid you may be hard pressed to find a worthy opponent to play with in this area. But never you mind, continue educating and preparing the church, more and more are listening and your position is gaining momentum and serious consideration.
I can’t wait to hear you speak in Maryville, Illinois. I have been greatly blessed by your understandable teaching. Thank you.

I agree with these above, Joel and commend you for your strong stand. It has been a great pleasure and education making this journey with you and your “followers” over these past years. I firmly believe the revelations made by you and Walid are the “opening of Scripture” in these Last Days that so many need to be aware of.
This is one of my favorite sites as I feel we are (most) all on the path of illumination in His glorious Spirit of Truth. May we each continue to PRAY, encourage one another in His love, be watchful and praising His Name more than ever in the days ahead, knowing each day leads us closer to the moment of His glorious rapture/return: Maranatha!
Peace to you all who are in Him!

Gina - “I firmly believe the revelations made by you and Walid are the “opening of Scripture” in these Last Days that so many need to be aware of.”
Well said, I totally agree with you Gina. Walid, Joel and others I believe are the instruments of God’s revelation. Sounds strong but I really believe that.
I think 911 gave me the desire to search for new understanding. If it wasn’t for that eye opening tragic event I don’t think I would have ever come across Walid or Joel’s information regarding the Middle Eastern perspective.
I think the closer we get to the end, the more “in your face” that the God of Abraham, Isacc and Jacob will become to everyone through prophecy and science. People will be faced to make a clear choice, either God’s way or their own way. No more riding the fence but a purification or refinement before Christ comes back with wrath.
Thats my 2 cents.

Bonjour les amis!
Abba is using Joel to show mainstream Christianity that they are mistaken on their understanding of the end of time (amongst many other things, by the way!).
Joel does an excellent job. Thank you Joel!
;-)
Here is an interesting fact that you may want to share with your Christian friends…
“It is also written in your Law that the testimony of two men is true.” (John 8:17)
We all know what happened on 9th/11, don’t we?
First the testimony: Daniel in Daniel 9.11:
“Yea, all Israel has transgressed Your Law, and turned aside, that they might not obey Your voice. Therefore the curse has been poured out on us, and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.” (Daniel 9:11)
In the Hebrew language, the word for “curse” is “ha alah”! Nice little indication from Abba, isn’t it?!
As if this was not enough, Abba has a second witness!
Second the testimony: John in Revelation 9.11:
“And they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in Greek his name is Apollyon.” (Revelation 9:11)
You’ll be surprised to know that Allah has 99 names. His 62sd one is Al-Mumit. It means exactly what we read in the above Revelation verse (Abaddon: the destructor/the one who kills. See Strongs # 3 and 623)!!!
No do you think this is coincidence or is Yahweh trying to teach us something?!?
May Yahweh bless you.

Thanks all. Believe it or not, I have recieved a few e-mails asking if Walid and I were the two witnesses. Definitely not!
But hopefully doing our small part.

Hi Joel,
I am refreshed by yours and so many others who have shown grace and integrity throughout the East vs West debate. I can only hope that others will also see that and take heed and do the same.
