Mmmmm? I don't think so! There is also the scripture which says the last generation will be "the generation that sees the fig tree bloom"; the fig tree is Israel. Israel bloomed in 1948. My generation is the last!
Isaiah 17:1 it says, "The burden of Damascus. It has been taken away from being a city, it has become a ruinous heap." Damascus is a 2000 year old city - so that scripture is still to be fulfilled.
Also, Damascus is where Arafat has his headquarters.
Also, Damascus has built a moat around the city (according to Jersalem Post) and inside the moat are skud missles aimed at Israel.
Now, connect the dots ... Syria sends missles raining down on Israel, and POW, Israel levels Damascus! Interesting huh??
There's more, but I don't want to bog you down now - just understand this; there is no way the world can last another 500 years - no way!!
Matthew 24:42-51: "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come" YOU WILL NOT KNOW when the end is going to come. That means that YOU WILL NOT KNOW. It does not mean that if you study the bible really hard that you will know. It does not mean that if you are a good Christian that you will know. YOU WILL NOT KNOW. Period. To try to figure it out means that you believe the lord to be a liar. This is a pretty simple concept, yet the amount of time spent by people trying to figure it out is considerable.
Are you trying to make a point or just be condescending? A thousand years is to the Lord as a day, and a day is as a thousand years. Just do not go around trying to set specific dates. The important thing is to be ready. He may not return for another 500 to 1,000 years, or maybe next week. I don't see how it can go on much longer myself, but we simply do not know. The president of Family Radio was made to look like a fool, when he predicted the second coming for Sept of 1994. Be ready.
