[PieterCasparzen]

You can disagree with whatever you want. The truth is that scripture teaches the removal of the ekklesia of Christ prior to the last seven years. The age of the Gentiles ends and the last seven years of the 490 promised to Israel begins. It's why the people of the nation of Israel are now being gathered back to the land they were promised.

If this was clearly taught in the Bible it would be easy to demonstrate it to believers who knew their Bibles.

The Bible does teach, however, that it is folly to try to calculate the year of Christ's return.

No, it doesn't. It merely said that even Christ--at that time--did not know the date and time.

Scripture does teach us--through the parable of the 10 virgins as an example--that we are to be alert for His coming, watch for Him, and be prepared.

No, it teaches that it's impossible to calculate the timing of the rapture. Once that peace treaty with Israel is signed the days to His return are exactly numbered.
