Estimados CompaÃ±eros:</p>
<p>Estamos viviendo en tiempos sin precedente y deseamos con todo nuestro corazÃ³n, responder al llamado de Dios. </p>
<p>El ha escogido llamarnos a Su Reino<em> para un tiempo como este</em>.  Nuestra responsabilidad es grande y juntos podemos hacer una diferencia.</p>
<p>Nuestra consagraciÃ³n personal, familiar y corporal como iglesia es la prioridad de mÃ¡s importancia.  La segunda es proclamar la verdad sobre La Venida del SeÃ±or y todas sus implicaciones. Son masivas.</p>
<p>Con la ayuda del SeÃ±or y su apoyo y oraciones estaremos publicando una serie de enseÃ±anzas sobre la profecÃ­a.  Esto lo haremos sistemÃ¡ticamente en espaÃ±ol e ingles, cubriendo los escritos de los Profetas, los evangelios, las epÃ­stolas y finalmente el Apocalipsis. La meta es hacerlo por escrito y en grabaciÃ³n de DVD y CD, tocando la voz de alarma; â€œÂ¡convertÃ­os al SeÃ±or con todo vuestro corazÃ³n!â€</p>
<p>Pueden accesar la introducciÃ³n a esta serie de estudios por escrito en nuestro sitio web:  <a href="http://www.evalverde.org">www.evalverde.org</a></p>
<p>Los Temas que cubriremos el equipo de predicadores y maestros son:<br />
<strong>*El SermÃ³n ProfÃ©tico / Mateo 24 * Los Cinco Ministerios * Los ParÃ¡metros ProfÃ©ticos * Historia de la Calle Azusa y Wales (Europa) * El Nuevo Pacto y Las Setenta Semanas * La Estrategia de Cristo * Mujeres de Virtud * IntercesiÃ³n y Ayuno *</strong></p>
<p>Para poder tocar todos los temas, daremos principio el dÃ­a Viernes 13.</p>
<p>Estamos tambiÃ©n proclamando siete (7) dÃ­as de ayuno â€“ Marzo 1 al 7. (La primera semana de Marzo) Â¿El PropÃ³sito? Â¡Que â€œ los  del Norteâ€<br />
despertemos! Â¡Que Israel despierte, porque viene pronto el MesÃ­as!</p>
<p>Â¡No te quedes! Ven e invita a tu familia y a otros hermanos.</p>
<p>Tu hermano y servidor,</p>
<p>Pastor EfraÃ­m Valverde II</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before the communists had taken over the nation of China, American and British missionaries had done extensive missionary work in that nation and had established many church works.  A great majority of these believers were taught that the church would be â€œrapturedâ€ before any persecution and tribulation were unleashed on the earth.</p>
<p>The terrible Maoist revolution spread like wildfire throughout the country in 1949 and the ensuing years, and Christians became a target for elimination. Pastors, church leaders and their families were made â€œexamplesâ€ to their communities. They were persecuted, arrested, jailed and killed for their faith in the Lord.<br />
<span id="more-96"></span><br />
It is a historical fact that many Chinese believers were devastated in their faith in God and His Word, because they believed He had failed them by not delivering them from persecution, tribulation and death. Had He not promised to â€œraptureâ€ them before any of this happened? </p>
<p>The following are excerpts from a letter Corrie Ten Boom wrote in 1974. Corrie Ten Boom as many of you know was a World War II, concentration camp survivor.  She, her sister and father were arrested and imprisoned for protecting, hiding and saving Jews. They literally laid down their lives in protecting the â€œapple of Godâ€™s eye.â€ That was the exact Biblical expression given by Corrieâ€™s father as his reason for endangering his and his two daughterâ€™s lives.</p>
<p>Mr. Ten Boom and his daughter Betsy died as a result of the harsh conditions and terrible abuse in the concentration camps. Corrie was the only survivor of the Ten Boom family.  As a result of her experience in the German Nazi camps and her unwavering faith in God, His Word and her love for His people she was given a ministry to the Church worldwide until the time of her death in 1983.</p>
<p><strong>Excerpts from Corrieâ€™s letter/ 1974</strong><br />
â€œThere are some among us teaching there will be no tribulation; that the Christians will be able to escape all thisâ€¦Most of them have little knowledge of what is already going on across the world. I have been in countries where the saints are already suffering terrible persecution.â€</p>
<p>â€œIn China, the Christians were told, â€œDonâ€™t worry, before the tribulation comes you will be â€œtranslated-raptured.â€  â€œThen came a terrible persecution.  Millions of Christians were tortured to death. Later I heard a Bishop from China say, sadly;</p>
<p>â€œWe have failed.  We should have made the people strong for persecution, rather then telling them Jesus would come first.  Tell the people how to be strong in times of persecution, how to stand when the tribulation comes, &#8212; to stand and not faint.â€</p>
<p>â€œI feel I have a divine mandate to go and tell the people of this world that it is possible to be strong in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are in training for the tribulation, and more than sixty percent of the Body of Christ across the world has already entered into the tribulation. <strong>There is no way to escape it. We are next.</strong>â€ (highlight mine)</p>
<p>â€œWhen I was in the concentration camp, a camp where only twenty percent of the women came out alive, we tried to cheer each other up by saying; â€œNothing could be any worse than today.â€  But we would find the next day was even worse.  During this time a Bible verse that I had committed to memory gave me great hope and joy.â€  If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you; on their part evil is spoken of, but on your part He is glorified.â€ (I Peter 4:14)</p>
<p>â€œI found myself saying, â€œHallelujah! Because I am suffering, Jesus is glorified.â€</p>
<p>â€œIn America, the churches sing, â€œLet the congregation escape the tribulation,â€ but in China and Africa the tribulation has already arrived.  This last year alone more than 200,000 (two-hundred thousand) Christians were martyred in Africa. Now things like that never get into the newspapers because they cause bad political relations. But I know. I have been there. <strong>We need to think about that when we sit down in our nice houses with our nice clothes to eat our steak dinners.</strong> Many members of the Body of Christ are being tortured to death at this very moment, yet we continue right on as though we are all going to escape tribulation.â€</p>
<p>â€œSeveral years ago I was in Africa in a nation where a new government had come into power.  The first night I was there some of the Christians were commanded to come to the police station to register.  When they arrived they were arrested and that same night they were executed.  The next day the same thing happened with other Christians. The third day it was the same. All the Christians in the district were being systematically murdered.â€</p>
<p>The fourth day I was to speak in a little church. The people came, but they were filled with fear and tension. All during the service they were looking at each other, their eyes asking, â€œWill this one I am sitting beside me be the next one killed? Will I be the next one?â€</p>
<p>â€œThe room was hot and stuffy with insects that came through the screen less windows and swirled around the naked light bulbs over the wooden benches. I told them a story out of my childhood.â€</p>
<p>â€œWhen I was a little girl,â€ I said, â€œI went to my father and said; Daddy, I am afraid that I will never be strong enough to be a martyr for Jesus Christ.â€ Tell me said father, when you take a train trip to Amsterdam, when I give you the money for the ticket? Three weeks before? No Daddy, you give me the money for the ticket just before we get on the train.â€</p>
<p>â€œThat is right,â€ my father said, â€œand so it is with Godâ€™s strength. Our Father in Heaven knows when you will need the strength to be a martyr for Jesus Christ. He will supply all you needâ€”just in timeâ€¦â€</p>
<p>â€œMy African friends were nodding and smiling. Suddenly, a spirit of joy descended upon that church and the people began singingâ€¦ â€œIn that sweet, by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore.â€</p>
<p>Later that week, half the congregation of that church was executed.  I heard later that the other half was killed some months ago.â€</p>
<p>â€œBut I must tell you something. I was so happy that the Lord used me to encourage these people, for unlike many of their leaders, I had the word of God. I had been to the Bible and discovered that Jesus said He had not only overcome the world, but to all those that remained faithful to the end, He would give a crown of life.â€</p>
<p>â€œHow can we get ready for the persecution?â€  </p>
<p>â€œFirst we need to feed on the Word of Godâ€¦Next we need to develop a personal, intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ (through prayer)â€¦We must be filled with the Holy Spiritâ€¦ We must be ready to help each other and encourage each other. <strong>But we must not wait until tribulation comes before startingâ€¦</strong>â€</p>
<p>â€œMany are fearful of the coming tribulation, they want to runâ€¦ I too am a little afraidâ€¦But then I read the Bible and I am glad.  When I am weak, then I shall be strong, the Bible saysâ€¦No, you will not be strong in yourself when tribulation comes, rather, you will be strong in the power of Him who will not forsake you. For 76 (seventy-six) years I have known the Lord Jesus and not once has He ever left me, or let me down.</p>
<p>â€œThought He slay me, yet will I trust Him.â€ (Job 13:15) â€œâ€¦for I know that to all who overcome, He shall give the crown of life. Hallelujah!â€    -Corrie Ten Boom â€“ 1974</p>
<p>This is the reason why we are urgently publishing the following series of teachings on end-time prophecy. We are now seeing prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes and it is critically necessary to be able to discern our role as the Church in all of this chaos.</p>
<p>Spiritually responsible Christians must realize that our present religious freedom may not remain forever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La interpretaciÃ³n de los cumplimientos de la profecÃ­a BÃ­blica, â€œbutacas de teatro,â€ coloca a las mas potentes, significativas, criticas y literalmente mas explosivas profecÃ­as en un cercano y al mismo tiempo, distante y futuro â€œescenario.â€  Nos coloca a nosotros la iglesia, en la secciÃ³n de la audiencia (espectadores) del teatro profÃ©tico, como meramente observadores.</p>
<p>Esto, creo, es un error crÃ­tico en el campo de la escatologÃ­a (profecÃ­a BÃ­blica) y se debe al establecimiento incorrecto de los parÃ¡metros y lÃ­neas de tiempo en los escritos profÃ©ticos de la Biblia y particularmente en relaciÃ³n con el libro del Apocalipsis.</p>
<p>Yo personalmente tengo una preferencia por esta escuela de pensamiento profÃ©tico, sin embargo este asunto no es obviamente un asunto de preferencia, sino de veracidad BÃ­blica.<span id="more-92"></span></p>
<p>PermÃ­tanme explicar a lo que me refiero con la interpretaciÃ³n, â€œbutacas de teatro.â€ He hecho la pregunta en muchas reuniones; Â¿En donde estamos sentados la iglesia en el â€œteatro profÃ©tico?â€ Â¿Estamos en las butacas de atrÃ¡s del teatro, observando de lejos la acciÃ³n en el escenario?  Â¿Estamos en las butacas de en medio o en la filas de en frente observando las profecÃ­as cumpliÃ©ndose delante de nuestros ojos?</p>
<p>Sin falla, recibo la misma respuesta el 90 por ciento del tiempo.  Â¡â€œEstamos en la fila de enfrente!â€ Mi respuesta es; no estamos en la fila de atrÃ¡s, de medio ni en la de enfrente.</p>
<p>En lugar de ser una â€œsegura,â€ distante y objetiva audiencia de espectadores, veremos que en realidad estamos colocados en la plataforma de actores. Este escenario no es en donde estÃ¡n los espectadores y la audiencia, sino es el lugar en donde los actores funcionan; es donde el drama se esta desenvolviendo y desarrollando. </p>
<p>Somos en realidad no meramente lectores, intÃ©rpretes y observadores de las profecÃ­as, sino participantes; voluntarios e involuntarios, activos y pasivos, pero sin embargo, participantes.</p>
<p>El planeta tierra es la plataforma y el escenario â€œen vivoâ€ y cada ser viviente sobre la faz de la tierra es parte de este equipo de actores, incluyendo la Iglesia.</p>
<p>AquÃ­ esta el centro y clave del asunto.  Mientras creamos que seremos â€œraptadosâ€ (recogidos) al cielo con el SeÃ±or, siete aÃ±os antes de la Segunda Venida, entonces podemos continuar siendo los espectadores y la audiencia; actualmente por causa del tiempo y despuÃ©s por razÃ³n de ubicaciÃ³n (el cielo).</p>
<p>Podemos seguir colocando el cumplimiento de toda profecÃ­a del capitulo 4 de Apocalipsis  (donde se enseÃ±a que ocurre el â€œrapto de la iglesiaâ€) hasta el ultimo capitulo del libro, en un futuro periodo de siete aÃ±os, que es un â€œseguroâ€ y distante escenario o podemos sistemÃ¡ticamente demostrar por medio de Daniel, los profetas, los Evangelios, las EpÃ­stolas y finalmente el libro del Apocalipsis, que no hay ningÃºn futuro, separado y distinto periodo de tiempo; o dispensaciÃ³n de cumplimiento profÃ©tico aparte de en el que hoy vivimos y que el recogimiento de la iglesia ocurre en la Segunda Venida, no siete aÃ±os antes.</p>
<p>Es importante aclarar que nuestra posiciÃ³n en relaciÃ³n a la interpretaciÃ³n de la profecÃ­a, no es en si mismo un indicador doctrinal de nuestra salvaciÃ³n, ni de una base para determinar nuestra comuniÃ³n y fraternidad entre los creyentes. Esto crearÃ­a contienda y divisiÃ³n entre nosotros y derrotarÃ­a el propÃ³sito de preparar un pueblo apercibido para el SeÃ±or.  Sin embargo, insistimos que el sostenerse en la interpretaciÃ³n, â€œbutacas de teatro,â€ pudiera afectar indirectamente la fe de muchos Cristianos. Â¿CÃ³mo y en que forma?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The "theater seat" interpretation of prophetic Biblical fulfillment places the most powerful, significant, critical and literally "earthshaking" prophecies in a near future but yet distant "stage." At the same time it situates us (the church) in the audience section of the prophetic theater, as mere observers.

This, I believe is a critical mistake in the field of Bible prophecy and is due to the defining and establishment of incorrect parameters and boundaries of time in all the prophetic books and writings of the Bible, and particularly in relation to the book of Revelation.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The &#8220;theater seat&#8221; interpretation of prophetic Biblical fulfillment places the most powerful, significant, critical and literally &#8220;earthshaking&#8221; prophecies in a near future but yet distant &#8220;stage.&#8221; At the same time it situates us (the church) in the audience section of the prophetic theater, as mere observers.</p>
<p>This, I believe is a critical mistake in the field of Bible prophecy and is due to the defining and establishment of incorrect parameters and boundaries of time in all the prophetic books and writings of the Bible, and particularly in relation to the book of Revelation.<span id="more-90"></span></p>
<p>I personally have a preference for the above school of thinking, but it is obviously not a matter of preferences but of biblical truth and accuracy.</p>
<p>Let me explain what I mean by the &#8220;theater seat&#8221; interpretation. I&#8217;ve asked in many gatherings; &#8220;Where are we the church seated in the prophetic theater? Are we in the back row of the theater watching the prophetic action on stage? Are we in the middle seats or do we have a front row seat watching all prophecies being fulfilled before our very eyes?&#8221;</p>
<p>Without failure I get the same answer 90 percent of the time. &#8220;We are on the front row!&#8221; My answer to them is that we are neither in the back, the middle nor in the front row.</p>
<p>Rather than being a &#8220;safe&#8221; and objective audience, we will see that we are actually thrust &#8220;on stage.&#8221; The stage is not where the audience is, but where the actors perform; it&#8217;s where the drama is unfolding.</p>
<p>We are in reality not merely objective observers and interpreters of prophecy but participants; willing or unwilling, active or passive but nevertheless participants.</p>
<p>Planet earth is the stage and every living creature on the face of the earth is part of the cast of actors; including the Church!</p>
<p>Herein lies the crux of the matter. As long as we believe we will be gathered (raptured) to heaven with the Lord , seven years before the Second Coming, then we can continue being part of the audience, at this point in time by matter of timing and after the &#8220;rapture&#8221; by location (heaven).</p>
<p>We can continue to place the fulfillment of all prophecy from the 4th chapter of the book of Revelation to the last chapter of the book in that future seven-year period, which is the safe and distant stage or we can systematically demonstrate from Daniel and the prophets, the Gospels, the Epistles and lastly the book of Revelation that there is no future , separate, or distinct period of Bible prophecy. There is no future &#8220;dispensation&#8221; apart from the one we are now presently living.</p>
<p>It is important to note that our position in relation to Biblical prophecy is not in itself a doctrinal indicator of neither our salvation nor a basis for our fellowship with other believers. Nevertheless, it could in an indirect way affect the faith of many Christians. How?</p>
