What is your take on this?

Can you guess?

Could the *Rapture* happen with Solar Flares?

Could, I guess. I'm not counting on it.

Very interesting...We might not know how and when the Rapture of the Church will happen, but I believe we definetly know we are in that season......

“A super solar storm could cause a continent wide blackout lasting for months.”

Where is your source of information?

Who are you quoting?

Solar Storms do not last long, and are related to the source of the energy emitted, in this case our Sun.

NEVER try to predict the end of the world.

I don't see where poster predicted anything- much less the end of the world.

Only the Father knows that.

Show where it says Our Father knows 'the end of the world'.

Our job is to tell the Good News until then.

Yes and the rapture is part of the good news! We should know the 'season' and be looking up and anticipating Jesus coming in the clouds for us. One gets a crown just for anxiously awaiting.

If the Tribulation period did start in Nov of 2008 and if you read Revelation 11 with the Two Witnesses, IMO the Rapture of the Church has to happen between 2008 and 2011.

The Two Witnesses that shall be on the earth during that time (1260 days) would take us to 2015 which some say is the time that Chirst will return..Just and observation

The book of Revelation mentions “hours” on quiet a few occasions: Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. [ Rev 3:10 NIV ] He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” [ Rev 14:7 NIV]

God wants us to look at the biblical calendar,” says Mark Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries in Bonney Lake, Wash. “The reason we need to be watching is [because] He will signal His appearance. But we have to know what to be watching as well. So we need to be watching the biblical holidays.”

The Book of Revelation would never be understoond, unless we do discuss it, in light of current events and scripture

OK, so God put a book in the Bible that was nonsense to the alleged audience, as well as to all Christians for the next 1,930 years or so, until our generation? Well, I guess that's one way to make ourselves feel important. We know what John meant to tell the churches at Ephesus, Smryna, Pergama, Thyatira, etc. better than the people of that time who were the churches at Ephesus, Smryna, Pergama, Thyatira, etc. !

The wise reader will interpret Revelation in the context of the current events in play when it was written, and take into consideration the audience it was written to. We are reading their mail, you might say!

GOD always spoke of a Last a Final Generation...

I believe the Bible was written so that all generations could understand that GOD could come at any given time, this is GOD’s way in telling people always remember to be *Ready*

(For you don’t know when the Lord will return)

If they thought..Well heck Jesus isn’t coming back for another 1000 years, more than likely the human condition and spirit would bcome lazy, maybe they would not be as enthusiastic in sharing the *Good News*

Jesus however did give us clues, signs and seasons to be aware of, upon his return to earth...I think this became apparent with the restoration of Israel in 1948.

Are we living in the Days of Noah? I think so...One of the biggest SINS I see today is the acceptance of Homosexuality and all that goes with it..The denial that GOD exists, scoffers, mockers etc...

Perry Stone believes the Tribulation started Fall of 2008.

When does this sort of thing become not date setting? It's OK if you're allowing a three month window?

Perry Stone

I watched a video of his once, rampant speculation in the Judean desert. In that video he gave an off the wall interpretation of Ezekiel's "valley of dry bones" prophecy that was just jaw dropping.

Just another "excitable" dispensationalist date suggester.

if you read Revelation 11 with the Two Witnesses, IMO the Rapture of the Church has to happen between 2008 and 2011.

The two witnesses == the church?

How..."interesting".

I don’t believe the GREAT TRIBULATION has started yet.

I believe these are still the ‘birth pangs’ of it.

I think the AC has to be overtly and fairly obviously on the world stage at the beginning.

UNMITIGATED BALDERDASH.

NO other era in history for the last 2000 years has had more than the tiniest fraction of 1% of the END TIMES prophetic contingencies and contexts exist . . . much less dozens and dozens all more or less at the same time . . . since 1948.

Hardly...Revelation was written about events that would unfold in the future...And they still haven't unfolded, yet...

What are you trying to say when you said: "If the Tribulation period did start in Nov of 2008 and if you read Revelation 11 with the Two Witnesses, IMO the Rapture of the Church has to happen between 2008 and 2011."?

Based on a Sermon given by Perry Stone..

Could these questions get any sillier? Perry Stone is a sensationalist pop prophecy preacher. He is not a Bible teacher.
