Has anyone noticed that this year, 2007, was the revised year for Jesus’ return, based on the new dispensational date of 1967, the Israeli-Arab War?

Does anyone know what the date setters in dispensationalism are using as the new and improved date for Jesus’ return based on 1948/1967 scenario? Or have they finally given up trying to take the fig tree image and “this generation” in Matthew 24 literally? Or are they quietly suggesting that maybe the significance of secular Israel being politically organized in 1948 was overblown by some of their comrades?

Usually it is the day before April 15th or whatever date the returns are due owing to holidays or weekends.

Oh but you forgot a question:

"Where is the promise of his coming, for since the fathers fell asleep [in 70 AD], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the new testament"?

Thank you for another sign of the last days -- the scoffers of II Peter 3.

I’m not sure about the rest of them, but I saw a Youtube 2006 clip of Jack Van Impe using the Inca calendar to set the date for the Rapture (2012) as one of his latest possibilities.
