And can studying NASAs website provide evidence for such a scenario?
A minister who promotes the Old Testament roots of Christianity suggests a rare string of lunar and solar eclipses said to fall on Gods annual holy days seven years from now could herald whats come to be known as the Second Coming of Jesus.
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.
In a video interview on the Prophecy in the News website, Biltz said hes been studying prophecies that focus on the sun and moon, even going back to the book of Genesis where it states the lights in the sky would be be for signs, and for seasons.
He states after 2015 there are no more Eclipses that fall on the Jewish Passover ever.
This would mean coming this fall would be the Final Tribulation marking Daniel's 70th week. (The last 7 years)
“I think theres something in the Bible about no man knowing the day or hour.”
That’s true but if he’s right, which I doubt, the rapture could be between now and up to exactly 7 years before the return. So the day and hour is still not known. But is that passage talking about the second coming or when Jesus comes in the clouds?
Olympics in Chicago? Is that a figure of speech I’m not aware of?
Dream away. The “gap theory” in Daniel’s prophecy ain’t in Scripture - it’s a dispy fabrication.
the scripture saying a thousand years is like a day does not say it is LITERALLY a day to God.....it is LIKE it.
I do not get those who try to say that is some sort of God calendar.
You are right...even JESUS doesn’t know ‘when’. FWIW...luck is a derivative of lucifer.
“This applies whether you buy into it or not...”
Amen! Preach it!
Then Christians for most of history were wrong.......pre-tribbers are a recent incarnation except for a few historical pre-tribs in the middle ages and later.
“you will know the times and the seasons when HE shall show up...”
That’s because the Bible is very clear on when He shows up. Exactly 7 years after the Anti-Christ signs the peace treaty with Israel. Christians who are alive now will be caught up when Christ returns in the air. Those people who get saved after the peace treaty will know exactly when Christ will return.
She would be raptured too. Hey, my wife and I are having a baby in November, Lord willing. Congratulations!
If GOD’s true church will meet him in the Clouds however that manifests itself then wouldn’t it make more sense that he is talking about believers when he says
*You do not know when your Lord shall Come* But look up! as your redemption draws nigh..
Maybe that means the rapture will definetly be at night maybe when we are sleeping
When he returns to earth to rein will be later when he wipes out the Antichrist.
Matthew 24:32-36
32 Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 33 even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.
While it's true that we don't know the day or the hour we do know the generation.
Sells books, fills chairs (pass the collection basket), elevates pulpit-ed ego, and allows for the construct of a hierarchy so that the "best and truest believers" can rule over the bewildered.
It is ugly, perverse, and common in history.
Here, take this millstone, tie it around your neck, and throw yourself off the nearest pier.

Have a nice journey. I'm just not sure of your destination. Mazol Tov !

Millions of Christians have thought themselves to have known the times and seasons including the 1st century Christians. What makes you think you're smarter than all of those escatologists who've preceeded you?
Now that this man’s picked a date, I know that that is NOT ever going to be the date. Ever.
Your lack of understanding of YHvH's calendarWhy is that ?

and how He has used it in past ?
