>>The Bible does teach, however, that it is folly to try to calculate the year of Christ's return.<<

No, it teaches that it's impossible to calculate the timing of the rapture. Once that peace treaty with Israel is signed the days to His return are exactly numbered.

[PieterCasparzen]

No, it teaches that it's impossible to calculate the timing of the rapture. Once that peace treaty with Israel is signed the days to His return are exactly numbered.

If it's impossible to calculate the timing of the rapture why does the dispensationalist cult keep yammering on about knowing the signs that the rapture is going to happen in 1994, 2000, etc. ?

Peace treaty with Israel ? What are you babbling about ?

There is no Scripture verse that teaches that some peace treaty with the modern nation of Israel is something Christians need to believe has some eschatalogical meaning.
