Pastor J.D. presents forensic evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that specific Bible prophecies like Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38 are on the cusp of fulfillment, and what it means to us as it relates to the timing of the rapture.

Yeah - it’s a racket.
And you are exactly correct
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
—Matthew 24:36
I grew up listening to “the world tomorrow” with Herbert and Garner Ted Armstrong on late night radio as we cruised down the highway coming from Grandma’s house...
For much of the last 60 years or more, the unspoken assumption was that it would come about the end of the millennium.
Even the irreligious had that built-in uneasiness about the end of the 1900s; you’ll remember the Y2K craze.
I do remember way back when the assumption was that the European Common Market provided the skeletal structure of what was coming. Most writers assumed the Vatican played a role. And the Soviets. And the Red Chinese.
We didn’t foresee the rise of Islam.
The Common Market has evolved into the EU, so it remains to be seen if they play a role. The Soviets are gone, though of course Russia still exists... we wonder sometimes if Russia and and obamist US might have switched places... :)
Walid Shoebat sees the antichrist as Islam; he says, why are Christians trying to decipher who it is that will be beheading them when there are people beheading you right now?... He may be right. Makes sense to me.
More recently was the shemitah craze that puts everything into this year, marked by the “blood moons”. But one of my current favorites kicks the rock down the road to about 2033 or so. Whew! that gives us a little time to let our 401K reach maturity... :)
I’ll probably check out of this mortal coil before that gets here, so I’ll have to watch from the other side.
There are multiple Bible verses that no man (or woman) knows the future or when the reckoning is coming.
We have to stop saying “end of days is proven by X”, and focus on actually improving the world now other than conversions, or else we risk being even more persecuted under a Big Sister regime.
Good post. I like to watch those prophesy church channels just to see how differently they interpret scripture to prove the Rapture and its immediacy then follow the news. They made a big deal out of the EU and how this one guy who hosts Prophesy In The News was all connecting it up to the coming World Leader; unfortunately since the UK left and other countries want to leave it sort of shatters that idea of one World rule buy some guy.
Yep and don’t listen to those people who say “There is Christ or He’s over there”
Some day, somebody’s going to hazard an educated (by the
Scriptures) guess that will be CORRECT!
Christ gave us signs of the Last Days & we would be foolish
to dismiss those signs, or to neglect to understand that
we have been living in the Last Days ever since Christ
ascended into Heaven.
When someone who believes in this pre-Tribulation Rapture and starts quoting verses to prove it, I can show them the same verses that disproves it. It’s not when He comes it is that he comes which is important.
Yep, even Paul was looking for His imminent return.
Thanks sister Lera
Amazing update
[[ep, even Paul was looking for His imminent return.]]
We are admonished to do so.
There is a crown of righteous as a reward for doing so.
why? People the people who long for his coming are the ones that try to live right and walk with him the closets.
The difference between this and any other times .
Israel is back in the land
Jerusalem belongs to them
All the nations that are gathering against are the exact nations the bible says will gather against them
True words
One thing to keep in mind is that the biblical scale is a lot longer than what we tend to think of as a long time. We think in terms of our own lifetime and find it difficult to comprehend events that take longer than the typical human life span.
The “latter days” have been referred to as everything happening since the first coming of Jesus.
I think of the second-grade teacher who had us draw a horse every morning and then the last week had us draw chariots. She was trying to give us some perspective on the history of the human race. Automobiles would have been the last three seconds before the school day was over, but she didn’t have to say that.
Of course things are speeding up now, also in accordance with prophecy (the old analogy of birth pains getting more frequent and more severe).
Today at service I felt for the first time that people were witnessing that their conversions came about with the Rapture in mind. Whether it is true or not shouldn’t really matter to us as much as the actual turning to Christ, no matter when it happens. It is bringing people to Christ in an emergency fashion, and that is a good thing.
There is a crucial time coming up in the shemitah series and that is the time around the end of September/beginning of October 2016. Not saying this is The End, but a significant event.
