Last Day Introduction - The Year 2000

Do you HOPE the predicted end of the world will come
in the year 2000?

Do you FEAR that such predictions about the year 2000
will come true?

Do You WORRY that terrible things will happen when the clock ticks past midnight on the year 2000?

Are you FRANTICALLY SEARCHING for someone with a voice of authority to tell you what to do with all these year 2000 predictions?

If you put your hope in those predictions we do not want you to be disappointed. You do this because you are not happy with the way things are and you want a way out. That is good. But the way out is not the end of the world or the return of Jesus. The one you call Jesus doesn’t want the world to end right now. He wants you to help Him bring about the end. He has committed himself to a Way to bring about the end and He cannot do it without the missing factor… a Bride prepared for Him, without spot or blemish.

You fear because you know deep in your heart that you are not prepared for such a catastrophe. You have not been deceived into thinking that you are fine and ready to meet judgment. Whether you believe in God or not, you are somehow aware of your conscience enough to know that you are in a bad place. So actually you are in a better place than you realize. The ones we are most concerned about are those who think they are fine. They have been handed a false bill of goods and will meet with a terrifying reality when they do fall into the hands of the living God.

But for you, if that fear of yours can do its job in your heart, it will lead you to the point where you are willing to do whatever it takes to find peace with your Maker. This is what we of the Twelve Tribes communities want to tell you. We have all come to this point in our lives. We all saw that it was not worth it to try to make it on our own and go along with the flow. We wanted out! We wanted a place to be free to live by our conscience and raise our children free from all the junk in this immoral world.

Instead of escaping to some corner of the wilderness, we live in an environment that is separate from the world while remaining right in the middle of it. In our communities we try to exclude the evils of this world. At the same time we are near to those who are floundering in the muck of this society.

If you have fear, there is a place where you can find peace.

If you worry that many catastrophes may happen soon, you’re right. It is clear that trouble is just over the horizon. Both science and the Bible warn that difficult times lie ahead. Environmentalists have warned of such troubles for years.

The only place to be in such days of great trouble is with the people who live together under the protective covering of the Almighty. Not that we are exempt from experiencing hardship, but we are committed to stand faithfully together for Him and persevere through whatever may come. We regard all hardship as discipline, which will eventually cause us to be conformed into the likeness of our Master. Instead of worrying, we eagerly await the day that we will be a spotless Bride, prepared for our future as the wife of the Lamb.

Our addresses are just inside the back cover. We assure you that you are always welcome to visit us. We can only give out what we have been given. Our hope is in God and His promises. We would love to share this hope with you, which will free you from fear and worry, and put an end to your frantic search.
