2018 is the year I had calculated, too.

FWIW, I think we tend to try and fit things into prophecy to keep to a time line. No question the day will come and it sure does seem like it will be sooner rather than later.

I don't if it's so much a timeline, as taking the Biblical definition of a generation, tying it to the fact that the reestablishment of the nation of Israel happened in 1948, the establishment of which Jesus said would mark the beginning of the countdown to His return, and adding everything together and coming to a date.

Now it remains to be seen whether we, in our limited human understanding, have calculated things correctly, but, going by what we've been given in Scripture, it's pretty natural to do the math and, taken as a whole with all the other prophecies being fulfilled every day, to believe that 2017 may be the end of the generation Jesus spoke about.
