Are you gnostic, prophetic or foolish... I can come up with dozens of senarios that predict dates. Probably should stay away from fixing dates since "no man knows the hour...".
The hour not the year. I don't claim to know when Jesus will return but there are many clues that GOD has foretold to the prophets for us to have insight with. Study Daniel's 70 weeks, Ezekiel, there is nothing wrong or ungodly with studying prophecy..
Apparently, you didn't write this missy.
It has no merit. Do not be deceived by it.
What you said.
I remember when it was said, on good authority, the world was going to end, oh, about 20 years ago. Or was that 30 years ago? All of these predictions tend to run together after the end of the world has been predicted with such regularity these last few decades.
Missy, you find and post the whackiest, nuttiest, most embarrassing things.
This is PRECISELY the sort of thing the prophecy-fuzzing neo-RC amills point to in trying to discredit applying grammatico-historical principles to interpreting prophecy.
You really could have gone all day without posting this.

What about Daniel's 70 weeks xzins?
Many people have heard of Daniel's 70 weeks, and know that they have to do with prophecy or related to the Book of Revelation. We will try and explain them a little further.
Each week is actually 7 years; 70 x 7 = 490 years. During this time the national "chastisement" must be fulfilled and the nation re-established in everlasting righteousness
(Daniel 9:24) "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make and end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to annoint the most Holy"
What we must remember is that Daniel was a prophet of the Jews, and the Jews only. His vision of the seventy weeks as mentioned earlier were not "continuous" there are gaps in time. The current gap seems to be at 2000 years right now.
As of now, November of 2000; 69 of those weeks have been fulfilled and we are waiting for the 70th week which we know deals with the tribulation and eventually Jesus' return.
People have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years. I think it's a sign of vanity that they always think it will happen in their lifetime.
Jesus would be very dissappointed. But he forgives.
That would be an understatement.
You know me the Prophecy Hunter!
But really I have been reading about Daniel's 70 weeks, do you give that any creedence?
moonlight dimmed from cloud of comet dust? comet dust falling to earth making falling stars?
Didn't Jesus say something about the Final Days coming like a theif in the night, that attempting to predict its onset would be frivolous?
OTOH, the MSM loves to wave articles like this as "proof" that RedStaters are all a bunch of crazy fundies waiting for the Mothership to arrive. Why give them the ammunition?
Centuries, millenia.
For example, do a Google on the Millerites.
NO ONE knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but ONLY the Father. Matt 24:36
followup - cute cat in your profile :)
Well then why would he give us the Book of Revelation? or the Prophepts in the OT... To keep us in the dark?
I believe verse 30: "Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place."
In other words, it happened in the first century.
Let me ask you this:
Is a generation in the Bible 40 years or not?
Missy, Dan is correct. It would have been better not to post this. It has no merit.
For example, find in the bible where it SAYS that a generation is 40 years. Explain to me why the arbitrary date of 1967 was selected.
Again Dan is correct, opponents of premillennialism use this kind of post to discredit our biblical doctrine.
