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.

If it's impossible to calculate the timing of the rapture why does the dispensationalist cult keep yammering on about knowing the signs that the rapture is going to happen in 1994, 2000, etc. ?

Peace treaty with Israel ? What are you babbling about ?

There is no Scripture verse that teaches that some peace treaty with the modern nation of Israel is something Christians need to believe has some eschatalogical meaning.

Why do you ask me? I wouldn't touch trying to establish a time frame for the rapture. We certainly are told to watch for the signs it is near however.

Babbling you say?

Daniel 9:24 "Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place. 25 "Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."

In the middle of that seven years the anti Christ will set himself up as God in the Newly built temple and once he does that the days are numbered.

Daniel 12:11 From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.

So the phrase "no one knows" cannot be about the return of Christ to defeat the armies of Satan at the end of this age.
