My faith is not contigent wether Jesus comes back today or in 200 years...
I know I will see Jesus either when he returns to earth in my lifetime, or at my physical death.
Pretend is an odd word to use, but okay....
As I said..The Prophetic Clock started in 1948 and 2018 fullfills the prophetic last week spoken by Daniel...
I am not predicting the date, that is my thought, based on my understanding of scripture...
That's the same nonsense I fell for in 1974. Sorry, but that play has been used over and over again. If the Daniel Propetic Clock is running, then it would have run out 7 years after it started. From what I was taught originally, the prophetic clock ran out in 1987. In fact, I heard my pastor (a very well known bible teacher) say in 1974 that if Christ did not return by 1987, that he would stop believing in the Bible. Well 1987 came and went and he's still preaching, but he doesn't seem to remember that prediction. I do. I was there and I knew the moment he said it that he was going to live to regret it. And he did.
So a generation is now what? 70 years? It was 40 before. Maybe you'll move it out to 80 years or 120 years. The fact of the matter is that whether or not the clock in Daniel is running is known only to God.
I predict that in 2019, you will be changing your tune and moving the date out to 2028 or 2038. I suspect that my prediction is at least as good as yours. My prediction is based on 40 years of watching Christians make fools of themselves by predicting the date on which Christ is going to return.
P-M, Tara is basing the 2018 on 1948 + 70 = 2018. That is because the bible says that the length of human life is 3 score and 10 = 70.
“This generation shall not pass” is what they base that on, the same as it was formerly based on the number “40” as the age of a generation, since some families can show family pictures of baby, parents, grand-parents, and great-grandparents....a ballpark number, very arbitrarily chosen was “40”.
Unfortunately, Tara, P-M is correct. As soon as you say you know, then that means that the word of God is wrong...because it says that “no one knows.”
Also, those who use the “this generation” scripture really have the cart before the horse. They claim that 1948 is the beginning point since that’s when Israel became a nation again. Unfortunately the scripture doesn’t say that. It says that “this generation will not pass away until ALL these things take place.”
All what things? Everything from Luke 21: 24-32; and Mark 13: 21-28; and Matthew 24: 23-41. Those are all parallel time periods.
Thanks for listening. Be sure that your “faith is not contingent on whether Jesus comes back today or in 200 years...”
