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.

If you are counting I think you should count from 1948 the year that Israel actually became a nation.
But better yet enjoy the life you have and rejoice that God has given us this wonderful gift.

KY looks to stay perfect this year.If they don't, millions of brackets will be smouldering heaps of ashes.
I wouldn't bet against them. They've got another gear to go with their killer instinct. The only teams that might have a chance will be teams laden with upperclassmen.
I'm not thinking that far ahead with my Zags, they need to get to the Sweet 16 first. We looked better against BYU this week, but there's much more to do.

Interesting timeline, but where would the Psalm 83 war fall into place?
Most Pre-Trib believers think Psalm 83 happens prior to Ezekiel 83.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Nay-saying always stings, but hey, just as there have always been false prophets and wrong speculations, there have always been naysayers. They stood outside the ark with their nay-saying against Noah. And later crowded around various prophets and people trying to follow God--doing the same thing again. John the Baptist, Jesus, Peter, Paul, Wilberforce, Bonhoeffer--all had their naysayers.
Hopefully won't start a fight with this, because I certainly don't want to, but could I ask for respect? Disagree, yes, but why mock and attack with sarcasm? Can't we discuss? Maybe we can learn from each other.
Now, to the point: this may sound like a cop out, but the reason predictions of Christ's second coming have always failed is because they were always based on false assumptions. Eventually they will be based on correct assumptions and then it will happen. Historically, the EXACT same thing played out before Christ's first coming, which was also prophesied. There were many false assumptions, false predictions, false prophets, and even counterfeit messiah's. That is until the predictions were correct. That generation also had its naysayers.
Personally, I don't think we can know the exact day or hour of Jesus' coming (Rapture), but can we know the season, or perhaps year? The Essenes and also the magi/wise men from Babylon were able to glean from the signs and Scriptures that the coming of Messiah was right at the door. And they were right.
Just an addendum: I don't think it is good theology to always run to Matthew 24:36 as the be-all-end-all of eschatology debate. Anyone decently familiar with the Bible can tell you that the Gospels and Epistles are FILLED with admonishments to BE WATCHFUL.
Even right after the "no man knows" statement, Jesus follows up with a parable about BEING WATCHFUL, so that YOU WILL KNOW at what time the thief is coming to your house. He blasts the Pharisees because they can predict the weather, but couldn't put together the signs to see his coming.
Can you know?
Now we have Israel reestablished after nearly 2,000 years, the Jews largely regathered AGAIN (as numerous Biblical passage said would happen), globalization rapidly occurring as Revelation indicates would happen, and Christians want to stick their heads in the sand?
MATTHEW 25:1-13 NIV:
At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep (vs.1-5).
At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' 'No, 'they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.' But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut (vs.6-10).
Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!' But he replied, ' I tell you the truth, I dont know you.' Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour wherein the Son of man comes (vs.11-13).

! Thess 4:
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (See also Deut 30:4 and Matt 24:31)
Wherefore comfort one another with these sayings.

You'll get it from people here when they think you've earned it. Replying to the posts on your first thread is a BIG step in that direction.
Mocking and sarcasm is one thing any of us can get any day on any subject. A thick skin helps.
Discuss? Yep. Stick around, stick up for your views, stick to the topic and avoid attacks and invective (sometimes this is VERY difficult!). Learn and teach.
I think you'll do fine.

And that where
Satan tell you to QUIT READING.
"ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God [meaning, 'God-breathed'], and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16).
1 Thessalonians 4, this scripture says NOTHING about going to heaven!
It says "in the clouds."
"Behold the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoils shall be divided in the midst of thee.
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished;
and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then shall the Eternal go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle.
And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east,
and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west,
and there shall be a very great valley;
and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south" (Zechariah 14:1- 4).
"And when He [Jesus] had spoken these things, while they [the disciples] beheld,
He was taken up;
and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up,
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said,
ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven" (Acts 1:9-11).
"Behold the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoils shall be divided in the midst of thee.
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;
and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished;
and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then shall the Eternal go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle.
And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east,
and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west,
and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south" (Zechariah 14:1- 4).
There is plenty of evidence in the Bible that
the Kingdom of God will reign ON THIS EARTH !
"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the House of the Eternal shall be established in the top of the mountains,
and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people [physical human beings will still be alive on the earth during that day!] shall flow unto it.
And many nations shall come, and say,
Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Eternal, and to the House of the God of Jacob
and He will teach us of His ways and we will walk in His paths:
for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the Word of the Eternal from Jerusalem.
And He shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks:
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.
But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree;
and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Eternal of Hosts has spoken it" (Micah 4:1-4).
Read Isaiah 2:2-4; Matthew 24:21, 22; Isaiah 11:4-12; and, Revelation 19( all of it).
"Rapture" ... not one word of that in the Bible!

LOL. You must be new here ‘bouts Pilgrim. If it aint sarcastic, and it doesn’t start a full on crusade between the protestants and the Catholics; whatever it is, it is not the relgious forum on FR. If you can take it as well as you dish it, you an have some fun.
Now then will the Lord return this year, maybe maybe not. My bags are packed and I am ready. Even so Lord, come quickly Amen.
