Our job in the short time we have left is to get ready to move to our new home.

Ping to topcat54, for obvious reasons.

As many of you know, I've said that all of the End Times prophecies including the 2nd Coming could be fulfilled as early as 2018. I base this on the Lord's promise that the generation being born at the time of the first End Times signs would still be alive when “all these things have happened” (Matt. 24:34) Most scholars view the re-birth of Israel in 1948 as the first of the end times signs. With an average lifespan being 70 years, according to Psalm 90:10, everything will have to come to pass by 2018. If the Rapture only just precedes the 70th Week of Daniel it could come 7 years earlier, in 2011, which is 2 ½ years from now, about half way through Mr. Obama's first term, assuming the election stands.

Hah!!

Yet another "date suggester" that can't read his Bible. A generation in the Bible is nowhere spoken of in terms of 70 years.

These futurists have missed the mark again and again. This new kid on the block thinks he has the magic key that unlocks prophecy. He does not. He is a fraud.

The Bible makes it clear that the "generation" spoken of by Jesus was the 1st century contemporaries who witnessed the sack of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple in AD70. It was really one generation (40 years, not 70) from the time of Jesus’ word to the actual events.

This fellow is soon to join the ranks of Hal Lindsey, Chuck Smith, Edger Whisenant, Harold Camping, and a host of other failed futurist date suggesters.

Most scholars view the re-birth of Israel in 1948 as the first of the end times signs.

Most scholars, in fact, do not view modern Israel with any special regard to Bible prophecy, and the handful that do are just plain wrong.
