2018 is the year I had calculated, too.
I’m not so sure a connection can be drawn from the “full number of gentiles” coming in to an instant rapture, then in following Israels’ heart starts to soften towards God. What I think happens is a dovetailing of events, the fullness of gentiles starts to come in as jews’ hearts start to open and somewhere in the mix Christ may come to raise the dead in Christ(and those saints remaining alive) taking his church to heaven with him, but not before the unveiling of the son of perdition as the NT states. After all, the saints will have a hard time not being deceived(’were it possible’ as the Bible says) by the Son of Perdition, which denotes the reality that there are still numbers of saints around to actually note the AC’s rising!
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
People have been trying to predict when the end is going to come for years. No one on earth knows, so this has to be put to rest once and for all.
One day someone will predict the “end times” correctly.
Unfortunately, nobody will be around to congratulate them.

I'm going to bookmark the original article and send it to my kids. Then I'll wait and see if I get the standard, "oh Dad, you old coot!"
It’s safe to say, we’ll know it when it happens. I don’t agree with trying to put a date on it. We are to live and work til Jesus comes, whenever that will be.

Interesting thread but it got too combative for me to continue.
Closer to the end of what?
Barak Warns Israel Will Attack Lebanon If Hizbullah Starts War
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/138794
quoted from the article
” We’ll see the government of Lebanon responsible for what happens, and for what happens within its government, its body politic, and its arsenal of munitions. And we will see it as a legitimate to hit any target that belongs to the Lebanese state, not just to the Hizbullah.”
