The End Time Puzzle

[RDKirk]

What people seem to ignore, is the many things Prophesied to happen before the glorious Return. All of Revelation from Rev 6:12 to 19:11.
All unfulfilled, as yet, the Sixth Seal being the next event we can expect.

They are the Words of Jesus, given to us in a viable sequence. To not take very careful note, is a serious denial of scripture.

Expectation is not the same thing as anticipation.

Combining the information from Daniel 8: 13,14 and Daniel 12: 11,12 with some texts from the book of Revelation, and taking into account the phases of the Moon (see - April 2141 Moon Phases Calendar - MoonPhases.org ), the possible date and time of the Second Coming is - Thursday, June 22, 2141 AD, about 17 minutes before sunrise (considered the city of Jerusalem, Israel). It is understood that the shortened days (see Matthew 24: 22) for there to be survivors are the 3 summer months, because the day of "Yom Kippur" originally always fell on the day of the autumnal equinox (Saturday, September 23, 2141).

P.S. - So, sisters and brothers, Christians, take courage! After about 6030 weeks (until this date - June 22, 2141) - We will be resurrected!

I will just leave this one here. ^^

For those who are lazy, World's biggest IQ guy says Jesus will return in less than 10 years time.
And he is right.
Keep dreaming about 21XX.

In the 1970s, calculations predicting the Second Coming of Jesus were primarily based on interpreting biblical prophecy as a sign of the end times.
The "Generation" Theory:

• The calculation was based on Hal Lindsey's interpretation of Matthew 24:34, which states, "this generation will not pass away until all these things take place".
• Lindsey linked this to the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel, considering it the most significant sign mentioned in the Bible.
• By defining a "generation" as approximately 40 years, the theory suggested the Second Coming could occur around 1988 (
  1948+40=1988)

• The 6,000-Year Timeline:
  • Some interpretations of biblical chronology suggested that six thousand years from the creation of the world would end in 1975.
  • This belief, often associated with the Watch Tower Society, proposed that the seventh millennium of human history would begin around that time.
• Focus on Signs:
  • These calculations were part of a broader movement that looked for signs in the world to predict the Second Coming.
  • Other prophecies cited included events described in Isaiah, Joel, Matthew, and Luke, such as the sun being darkened, the moon not giving its light, and stars falling from the sky.

In the 1980s, various calculations were made based on biblical prophecies to predict the Second Coming of Jesus, a common theme in these predictions being the use of specific dates.

• Edgar Whisenant: His book 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Could Be in 1988 calculated a potential Rapture date between September 11–13, 1988, which he later revised to October 3, 1988. After these dates passed, he continued to revise his predictions.
• Harold Camping: The "Rapture" was also a central theme for Camping, who predicted the Rapture would occur in September 1994 and also incorrectly predicted the end of the world in 2011.
• Lee, the leader of the Dami Mission church: Predicted the Rapture would occur on October 28, 1992.
• Marie Bergb: Predicted that the tribulation would start in 1989 and the Second Coming would take place in 1993.
• Other claimants: Various other individuals, including Lester Sumrall and Lee, the leader of the Dami Mission church, made predictions in the 1980s for the Second Coming to occur on specific dates.

In the 1990s, no single set of calculations was made for the Second Coming; rather, multiple interpretations and predictions arose from different groups.

• Biblical prophecy: Some predictions focused on a sequence of events described in the Bible that were interpreted as portending the end times.
• Calendar calculations: Some groups attempted to establish a specific date for the Second Coming by using various calculations involving different biblical time periods and prophecies.
• No consensus: The predictions were not universally accepted, and many scholars and religious groups emphasized that any attempt to calculate a date is futile, as only God the Father knows the day and time.
• Focus on the present: Instead of focusing on a specific date, many modern interpretations of the Second Coming emphasize the importance of living according to Christian teachings and fulfilling the prophecies that have already occurred or are currently unfolding.

Calculations for Jesus' Second Coming in the 2000s primarily revolved around a "two-thousand-year" timeline, using the biblical Creation date or the estimated time of Jesus' birth and crucifixion to predict a return around the year 2000 AD or 2033 AD.

• Six-day creation model: Some interpretations, based on the belief that the earth would last for 7,000 years (6,000 years of work and 1,000 years of rest), expected the Second Coming around the year 2000 AD.
  • Creation to Abraham: 2,000 years.
  • Abraham to Christ: 2,000 years.
  • Christ to the Second Coming: 2,000 years.
• Crucifixion timeline: Predictions were made around 2033 AD, based on the belief that Jesus' crucifixion was around 33 AD and would be followed by his Second Coming 2,000 years later.
• Numerology: Some individuals connected biblical prophecies with numerology to predict the Second Coming, though these interpretations are not universally accepted by theologians.
• Biblical prophecies: Others looked to specific biblical prophecies to calculate the Second Coming, but many Christians argue that it is not possible to calculate the exact time and date of the Second Coming.
• No calculation possible: Some Christians believe that the exact timing of the Second Coming cannot be calculated and that it will happen at a time unexpected by most people.

In the 2010s, calculations expecting Jesus's Second Coming were based on interpretations of biblical prophecies, such as the approximate 2,000-year mark from the crucifixion, but all such predictions were incorrect.

• Two-thousand-year calculation: Some predictions focused on the 2,000-year period from Jesus's crucifixion to his Second Coming. Since the crucifixion was believed to have occurred around 28-33 AD, the target date was often around 2028-2033.
• Prophetic interpretations: Other calculations involved attempts to interpret prophecies from books like Daniel and Revelation, often by using numerology or a combination of specific verses to arrive at a date.
• Extrapolation from historical events: Some calculations were based on a specific start date for the prophecy, such as the founding of the Holy Roman Empire, and then extrapolating forward to predict a timeframe for Christ's return.
• Historical precedent: Historically, every prediction of the Second Coming has been proven wrong.
• Theological interpretation: Many modern interpretations view these prophecies as symbolic or point to different events, such as the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, rather than a literal, future event that can be calculated.

Calculations expecting Jesus' Second Coming in the 2020s often centered on a 2000-year timeline from the crucifixion, specifically pointing to around 2033 as the approximate 2,000th anniversary. Other calculations have been based on various biblical prophecies and "signs," including interpretations of the Seven-Year Tribulation, the Antichrist, and the timing of other events like the Battle of Armageddon. Some specific, non-mainstream predictions have also made recent claims, such as the September 2025 date from a South African pastor.

• Approximate 2,000-year anniversary: Many calculations focus on the year 2033, assuming a crucifixion date around 30-33 AD, as it is approximately 2,000 years from the event.
• Previous 2,000-year predictions: Some have noted a history of similar 2,000-year predictions in the past, such as around the year 2000, based on earlier interpretations of the timeline. See Quora.
• Specific, non-mainstream predictions: Some recent predictions have been made based on dreams or specific biblical interpretations, such as a specific pastor's claim of a September 2025 date.

- I'm looking for the truth about the matter, and yes, I accept that I may be wrong. But at least I'm not creating a movement in which people die.
P.S. - Actually, to be honest, I can barely resist starting a global movement, but the date - June 22, 2141 is very far away!

Fig tree - solve this problem for me. ^^

Edit:

Fig tree is 80 years, not 40. ^^ That aligns with 2028.
Jesus was also born 4-5 BC , not 0 BC , and died 33 , so that also aligns with 2028. ^^

Hard to argue with 2028. ^^

Although we are told that we live for 3 score and ten - 70 years and to 80, provided health and good luck holds out; this is not a cut off point as I can attest. I was born in 1941, so I saw Israel become a nation again. Now at age 84, I still go bike riding, hiking and do house renovations, etc.
I expect to live for a while yet, hope to make 100; so I believe I will see it all.

But what is Prophesied to happen next, is the great and terrible Day of the Lords fiery wrath, The event which will set the scene for all what must happen before Jesus Returns. Which I date to about 2034.

Israel metaphorically represent a fig tree according to Joel 1:7. That is one basis for 1948 as the base year.

The other representation of a fig tree is Jerusalem. In Matthew 21:18-20, Jesus cursed a fig tree for not bearing fruit, representing that the Jews of Jerusalem would not bear fruit by rejecting him as their King of Israel.

In 1967, the Jews regained control of Jerusalem. Based on 1967 at the base year, 1967 + 70/generation = 2037. Jesus will return not later than the end of 2037. Minus 7 years =2030. Meaning the Gog/Magog event that just precedes the 7 years, will happen sometime before the end of 2030.

Considering the current status between Israel and Iran, it looks like Gog/Magog should happen sooner.

Well, if Gog/Magog happens to the present nation of Israel, there goes your solar flare depopulation event and replacement nation theory.
