I think this is the year of the rapture. As a matter of principle I don't want to ever say this it with absolute certainty because I am absolutely not a prophet. We're just trying hard to interpret the Scriptures and the Signs as best as we can. There are many simultaneous confirmations this year though:
1. It is the Shmita year (ending the sixth 7-year cycle in September 2015). The final 7-year cycle of the current Jubilee cycle will arguably begin then, ending in 2022.
2. The Jews were legally back in the land in 1922/23, so 2022 (7 years from now) would thus be a Jubilee year.
3. The last two blood moons are this year, with the final a super moon appearing over Jerusalem.
4. Both blood moons are shortly preceded by solar eclipses thus fulfilling the order of events in Joel 2:31 & Acts 2:20.
5. In the rough middle of this 7 year period all of these things occur: 50 years from the recapture of Jerusalem, 70 years from the rebirth of Israel, 100 years from Balfour, 120 years from Jewish Congress, end of the Revelation 12 sign.
6. Alignment of Gregorian and Hebrew dates in 33AD/2015AD - same Triumphal Entry, Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits. I think this is doubly significant in light of dispensational theories of the Church Age. It is almost as if this realignment of dates between 33AD and 2015AD is like God re-synchronizing the prophetic clock, suggesting that the Church Age will end this year and the completion of the 70 weeks of Daniel is back on track.
7. The total solar eclipse of March 20th falls on Nisan 1, the first day of the Hebrew year. Nisan 1 70AD (70AD being the year of the destruction of the 2nd Temple and dispersion of the Jews) ALSO FEATURED A SOLAR ECLIPSE.
8. The Bible describes a generation as "70 or if by strength 80". Which is it? Only meaningful way to handle both numbers is to average them = 75 years. UN Mandate setting out Israel for the Jews was 1947 (rebirth was 1948) + 75 years = 2022/23. Jesus said "all these things would be completed" in this generation.
9. 49 x 360 prophetic-day years from recapture of Jerusalem = 2015.

Now for a thought on a potential timeline:
I think watchers have focused too much on trying to find the start date of the tribulation to calculate the end date rather than the end date in order to calculate the start date. I think this has caused issues in finding God's timeline because I believe finding the end date in the former said way will only work if the rapture and the signing of antichrist's covenant happen on the EXACT same day. If they don't happen on the same day, then I can see no reason why the first day of the tribulation should have any Biblical significance. This day is the devil's day, not God's day. IMHO, I think we need to start at the end and work back.
What is the traditional and most widely accepted date for Christ's 2nd Coming? It is Yom Kippur
What happens every year exactly 75 days after Yom Kippur? Hanukkah - the feast of re-dedication
These are the only two dates that I can find on the Hebrew calendar that would align with the end of a 1260 day Great Tribulation + 75 days to complete the final 1335 days spoken of in Daniel.
Additionally, Hanukkah represents the end of the 1335 days in three amazing ways: first, a celebration of the overthrow of the antichrist's forerunner, Antiochus IV Epiphanes (so a celebration of the AC himself being overthrown); second, the cleansing of the temple; and third, the lighting of the Menorah.
Consider carefully #3 again. Hanukkah represents the miraculous lighting of the Menorah. At the end of the tribulation Jesus will finally and personally have fulfilled all seven of God's appointments. What better symbol than the lighting of the Menorah of seven golden lamp stands to represent the fulfillment of God's plan?
For these reasons I think Jesus Second Advent will almost for sure occur on Yom Kippur. If this happens in the year 2022, then the 2520 days of the tribulation calculated backwards will fall on November 11, 2015, a date of no Jewish significance, but would be the signing of Israel's "covenant with death".
I think the rapture happens this Spring on Triumphal Entry, Passover, Easter Sunday, Ascension Day, or Pentecost. I don't know which. If not one of those then likely Rosh Hashanah this Fall. This will leave a two to seven month gap between the rapture and beginning of the tribulation. I think this gap will be the perfect place for the Ezekiel 38 Gog and Magog war. Once this war is over (likely to the world known as World War III), Russia and Iran will be largely decimated, Damascus will be destroyed, northern Israel will be destroyed and the antichrist will begin to ascend to his place on the world stage as the man of peace.
I think this is the year the Cubs finally go all the way.
Welcome to FR again.
Tell us a bit about yourself on your profile page, please?
It could happen this year. But then again it might not.
Jesus said see to it that you are not afraid. Things could get a whole lot worse than this before the apocalypse.
is this the year?!
“No man knows the day or the hour . . .”

Can it wait until after March Madness? The Zags are looking good this year.
It’s a good thing the writer claimed he is absolutely not a prophet because based on his analysis; he would be an absolutely false prophet, as are all the rest who claim some biblical insight into the when of future events.
Don’t fall for this crap people...I am sure the vast majority freepers will not.
+1
People have been saying that for almost 2000 years.
I’m eagerly waiting for the rapture, but death may come before that time... either way, I’m ready to see my savior face to face and tell Him thank you for loving and saving me. I got a taste of hell many years ago when doing drugs, I thought I had died without Jesus, my whole psyche flew apart. When I realized I hadn’t died, I cried out to God to save me, and He did... that you Jesus!
Sorry, you can’t know that.
As for the blood moon thing, I remember being in Christian chat rooms on AOL fifteen years ago and hearing people say, “The blood moons are coming-—we won’t be here next week/next month/ etc.”
Such a prediction could adversely effect fund raising here at FR. Maybe monthly donations should be changed to weekly. Or daily.
Join the long list of folks that have predicted that the end is near for 2,000 years.
Paying attention to the times is what we are instructed to do.
Setting the times gets a bit dicey, don't you think?

Nope. Already happened. January 12, 1981. Debbie Harry said so.
Googled, and copy-pasted.
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).
“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing” (Matthew 24:42-46 KJV).
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 25:13).
“And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power” (Acts 1:7).
When the lame duck crosses the path of the Swamp Lord
And the Bieber is stuned at waking time
It is then that the Children of The Goat Humpers
Will manifest their swarthiness unto the People of Little Brain
And unto their land will fall Not-So-Goodness
Does that answer your question?
