URGENT: The Final Call

A Letter from Craig and Wendy Rogers to the Saints

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” - Revelation 3:10

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We write to you with urgency that burns in our hearts like fire shut up in our bones. The hour is late - later than most realize. The signs are converging, the prophetic clock is striking midnight, and the Bridegroom is at the door.

THE ASSASSINATION: A PROPHETIC SIGN WE CANNOT IGNORE

Seven days ago, on September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was gunned down at Utah Valley University. Charlie - whose name means “free man” - Kirk - meaning “church” - represented the voice of the free church in America. His assassination by Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old raised in Mormon prosperity but radicalized by leftist ideology, is no coincidence.

This is the fulfillment of Isaiah 57:1: “The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.”

Just as John the Baptist’s head was cut off before Jesus’s final ministry phase, the voice preparing the way has been silenced. The Spirit of Elijah has done its work. Now the King comes for His Bride.

JAMES 5: THE FINAL WARNING TO THE RICH

James, the half-brother of Jesus, wrote his letter not just to first-century believers, but to us - the generation living in the last days. His opening words in chapter 5 thunder with prophetic urgency:

“Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.” - James 5:1-3

Notice that phrase: “in the last days.” James is speaking directly to wealthy believers living at the end of the age - that’s YOU if you live in America in 2025.

THE SIN OF ACCUMULATED WEALTH

Your 401k, your real estate portfolio, your business assets, your comfortable lifestyle - James calls these “CORRUPTED RICHES” when they become your security instead of Christ. The corrosion of your wealth will be a WITNESS AGAINST YOU on the day of judgment.

Tyler Robinson’s family had all the trappings of American success - a six-bedroom home, successful business, extensive travels, academic scholarships. Yet their wealth, built on the false foundation of Mormon works-righteousness, produced a son capable of political assassination. Wealth without Christ produces spiritual bankruptcy.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” - Mark 8:36

THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS: “NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY OR HOUR”

Jesus said, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Matthew 24:36). This is not a statement of impossibility - it’s a Hebrew idiom specifically referring to the Feast of Trumpets!

The Feast of Trumpets is the only Jewish feast that begins on the new moon, requiring two witnesses to sight it before the celebration can officially start. It was known as “the day and hour that no man knows” because it required celestial confirmation.

THE 2025 FEAST OF TRUMPETS BEGINS SEPTEMBER 22ND AT SUNDOWN

The spring feasts were fulfilled at Christ’s first coming:

- Passover: Christ died
- Unleavened Bread: Christ was buried
- First Fruits: Christ rose
- Pentecost: Holy Spirit came

The fall feasts await fulfillment at His second coming:

- Trumpets: The Harpazo (Rapture)
- Atonement: Great Tribulation
- Tabernacles: Millennial Kingdom

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

THE PARABLE OF THE WISE AND FOOLISH VIRGINS

“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish.” - Matthew 25:1-2

The five wise virgins had OIL (FAITH) in their lamps - representing the Holy Spirit, genuine salvation, being born again. The five foolish virgins had lamps (religious activity) but no oil (no genuine conversion).

When the bridegroom came at MIDNIGHT - the unexpected hour - only those with oil were ready. The foolish ones went to buy oil, but “while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.” - Matthew 25:10

THE DOOR IS ABOUT TO SHUT. Are you a wise virgin with oil, or a foolish virgin with mere religious activity?

THE THIEF ON THE CROSS: LAST-MINUTE SALVATION

Even in the final moments, salvation is available to those who simply believe:

“And he said to Jesus, ‘Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.’” - Luke 23:42-43

No baptism, no church membership, no good works, no religious ceremony - just simple faith in Christ. If you’re reading this and you’ve never truly been born again, you can be saved RIGHT NOW.

THE LABORERS IN THE ELEVENTH HOUR

“And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.’” - Matthew 20:6-7

Even those who come to Christ in the final hour receive the same reward as those who served Him their entire lives. It’s not too late - but it’s almost too late.

REVELATION 3:10: THE PROMISE OF RESCUE

To the church of Philadelphia - representing the faithful church of the last days - Jesus promises:

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” Revelation3:10

The phrase “keep you FROM” (Greek: ek) means to rescue OUT OF, not merely protect through. The faithful church will be removed BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins.

But this promise is only for those who have “kept His command to persevere” - genuine believers, not merely cultural Christians.

REPENT OF YOUR RICHES

James thunders: “You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.” - James 5:5

Your comfortable American lifestyle, your financial security, your material prosperity - these have become IDOLS that stand between you and total surrender to Christ.

SPECIFIC SINS TO REPENT OF:

Trusting in Your 401k Instead of God’s Provision: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” - Matthew 6:19-20

Loving Your House More Than God’s House: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” - Matthew 6:21

Serving Money Instead of God: “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” - Matthew 6:24

Ignoring the Poor While Living in Luxury: “If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?” - 1 John 3:17

THE TYLER ROBINSON WARNING: FALSE RELIGION PRODUCES MONSTERS

Tyler Robinson grew up in Mormon prosperity - a devout LDS family with wealth, religious activity, and cultural conservatism. Yet this foundation of works-based salvation produced spiritual instability that ultimately led to political assassination.

This is what James warns about: “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” - James 1:22

THE MORMON DECEPTION

The LDS church teaches salvation by grace AFTER all you can do (2 Nephi 25:23). This is the same lie Satan told Eve - that you can become like God through human effort. This is works-based salvation that sends people to hell.

The Bible teaches: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” - Ephesians 2:8-9

If you’re trusting in:

- Temple ordinances
- Baptism for the dead
- Degrees of glory
- Your priesthood authority
- Your church activity

YOU ARE NOT SAVED. You’re trusting in works, not grace. Repent and believe the true Gospel before it’s too late.

THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL LIE

Many American Christians have embraced the lie that God wants them wealthy and comfortable. This is false doctrine that will damn your soul.

Jesus said: “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” - Luke 18:24-25

JACOB’S TROUBLE IS COMING

“Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.” - Jeremiah 30:7

The Great Tribulation is specifically “Jacob’s trouble” - God’s final dealing with Israel. The church will be removed before this seven-year period begins, taken to the Father’s house for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” - John 14:2-3

THE URGENCY OF NOW

We believe the Harpazo could occur during this Feast of Trumpets - September 22-24, 2025. Whether we’re right about the exact timing or not, the signs are undeniable:

- Political violence escalating (Charlie Kirk assassination).

- Religious deception increasing (prosperity gospel, works-based salvation).

- Moral breakdown accelerating (Tyler Robinson generation).

- Israel surrounded by enemies (Psalm 83, Ezekiel 38-39 alignment).

- Knowledge increasing, people running to and fro (Daniel 12:4).

- Scoffers mocking the Second Coming (2 Peter 3:3-4).

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.” - Luke 21:28

WHAT YOU MUST DO RIGHT NOW

1. EXAMINE YOUR SALVATION

Are you trusting in:

- Your good works?
- Your church membership?
- Your baptism?
- Your religious activity?
- Your moral lifestyle?

THESE WILL NOT SAVE YOU.

Salvation comes only through faith in Christ’s finished work on the cross. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” - Acts 16:31

2. REPENT OF YOUR WEALTH ADDICTION

Prayer of Repentance: “God, I confess that I have made money and material comfort my idol. I have trusted in my wealth instead of You. I have ignored the poor while living in luxury. I have served mammon instead of You. Forgive me and help me surrender everything to You.”

3. GET RIGHT WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

“Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.” - James 5:19-20

Make that phone call. Have that difficult conversation. Share the Gospel with boldness and urgency.

4. WATCH AND PRAY

“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” - Luke 21:36

THE SIMPLE GOSPEL

If you’ve never been truly born again, here’s how to be saved:

Acknowledge you’re a sinner: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” - Romans 3:23

Recognize the penalty for sin: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 6:23

Believe Christ died for your sins: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” - Romans 5:8

Call upon the Lord: “For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” - Romans 10:13

PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Lord Jesus, I know I’m a sinner and deserve hell. I believe You died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I trust in You alone for salvation, not in my works or religion. Please save me and make me Your child. Amen.”

If you prayed that prayer in faith, you are now born again and will be caught up in the Harpazo when Jesus comes.

THE MARRIAGE SUPPER AWAITS

“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” - Revelation 19:7

The Bride of Christ - the true church - is about to be gathered for the greatest wedding celebration in history. While the earth endures Jacob’s trouble, we’ll feast at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the Father’s house.

But you must be born again to attend.

FINAL WARNING

“And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’” - Matthew 25:10-12

Don’t be left behind knocking on a door that has been shut. Don’t trust in your riches, your religion, or your respectability. Trust in Christ alone.

“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” - 2 Corinthians 6:2

The trumpet is about to sound. Are you ready?

In Christ’s love and urgency,

Craig and Wendy Rogers

“Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” - James 5:7-8

MARANATHA - EVEN SO, COME LORD JESUS!
