On February 4th, 2019, a HUGE, OLD WOODEN CROSS washed up from the ocean in Fort Lauderdale. It was so large, that it took 10 men to carry it from the ocean waves onto the beach. The article below shows the incredible cross floating in the water, before being dragged on shore:

This has personal significance to me because I became a Christian right on that beach in Fort Lauderdale when I was a teenager! The LORD saved me out of a atheistic environment and my life was changed forever on those very beaches.
I believe that this HUGE OLD CROSS is a sign from the LORD of HIS soon return, and a call for people to come back to the ways of the cross.....the ancient path to salvation! It is through HIS crucifixion on the cross that we have been delivered from the 2nd death to live with our LORD for all eternity!
Christianity today has gotten away from the fundamentals of the faith and no longer preach 'the cross of JESUS.' This SIGN FROM HEAVEN is a 'blaring' reminder of HIS death and resurrection!
When I asked the LORD what was significance of this cross washing up from the cross, I heard:
"THE OLD RUGGED CROSS"
Here are the lyrics to that song:
those lyrics:
· On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff’ring and shame; And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain: So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown.
· Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above To bear it to dark Calvary.
· In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see, For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, To pardon and sanctify me.
· To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away, Where His glory forever I’ll share.
