Thus Saith
The Editor

Dear Readers,
  We want to thank all of you who sent donations to help finance the production, printing, and mailing of these last two issues. We also appreciate all the concern and prayers on behalf of our baby, Autumn Sunshine. Autumn is home with us and seems to be doing well, all things considered. Our eldest daughter, Shoshanna, is scheduled to arrive home for a 4-week visit in mid-January, then plans to return to Jerusalem for her second semester at The Hebrew University. Shoshanna has not yet seen her new baby sister, Autumn.
  Adjusting to a new baby with special needs has kept us busier than usual, but we are still forging ahead in the work of the Lord. We have 4 video teaching tapes that we are making available to readers. See page 17 for details. I am currently in the middle of typing Spanish translations of some of my pamphlets. God willing, these should be available by the time the next issue of Gates of Eden is ready. A special thanks to reader Mike Navarro for his translation work.
  Once again, we thank all of you for your support and encouragement. If you need a receipt for 2000 donations, let us know.

P.S. Thank you to an anonymous donor who sent a donation and a card with a Madison, WI postmark.

 In response to inquiries about the "rapture" teaching (and the current popularity of the "Left Behind" fiction series), I want to let readers know about a book that documents in great detail the origins of the rapture teaching. The title is The Rapture Plot, and the book is available from Millennium III Publishers, PO Box 928, Simpsonville, SC 29681. Cost is $17.95 & $2.25 S & H. For more info, ph. 800-967-7345. I have not read the book, so I am not endorsing it. I am just posting this information for interested readers.
