This article explains the reasoning behind “The Forecast” column and why it migrated over to the quarterly newsletter from The Update, which is published eight times a year—in the off months. It explains what the Prophets were talking about in passages where they use the parabolic image of “rain” to depict The Teaching of Moses. It also contains a clear-cut warning to those who might be tempted to “drink” the “wine” of The Harlot.
The purpose of this column is to explain various weather-related parabolic images that relate to the Last Days and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This, the debut edition, contains a general survey of how current events reflect the effects of the “strong winds,” “cloudy” skies, and “isolated showers” the Prophets used to describe spiritual reality parabolically.
The first answer in this column explains the nature and purpose of angels. The second addresses the issue of how the Archangel Michael will “guard” the Elect at the End of the Age. A third question explains how Satan goes about ensuring that people do what he wants them to do.
