The same thing I'm saying today, the Rev 12 sign was in the sky on the 23rd.

And the scoffers will all still be too blind to see what had just happened over their heads, literally, and will continue to act like fools.

The many, many predictions of the prophecy predictors give people a reason to scoff when their predictions ALWAYS FAIL. Scripture says that those who make predictions that don't come to pass are FALSE PROPHETS. These 'prophets' diminish the Scriptures in the eyes of outsiders by making ridiculous claims based on them. Shame on all prophecy predictors!

This isn't a prediction. That is where you are missing it.

Besides, a prophet is one who speaks for God. We aren't speaking for God. We are seeing what was written and telling people 'there it is, as written'. Technically, it's the scoffers who are trying to pull people away and get them to not believe what the scriptures tell us.

Take your false accusations somewhere else.

If you are not a prophecy predictor as you indicate, why take umbrage at my post?

Because you are accusing people falsely, and did so while quoting my post directly. On what basis would I not assume you were accusing me?

The sign is there. People can deny it, but it changes nothing. There is a lot of speculation the rapture will occur in the same time frame with the sign. Speculation is not prophecy!! And that speculation is warranted. John tells us the sign that God linked to the rapture, the harpazo of the male child, and as a result, seems to tell us the time frame. Meanwhile, Paul tells us the day as the Feast of Trumpets when the last trump is blown, and also the time of day (the twinkling of an eye). It just so happens, both markers coincide together.

So, speculation for those who are watching concerning the rapture is not unfounded. They certainly don't need people like you giving them a hard time. Unfortunately, there are many filling the roles of the last day scoffers quite comfortably.

What are all you prophecy predictors gonna say when you don't get raptured up on September 23?
What I used to say when I dabbled in date setting, back to the drawing board. I haven't seen any predictions that there will be a rapture although I suspect you could find a few if you looked for them. What I'm getting is that is suspected something significant will happen with Israel.

This is sadly correct.
But the Day will come when what has been told to us in the Prophetic Word, will happen. If it doesn't, then our Bibles are no better than any other fiction yarn.
We DO have a Creator, He HAS given us the Laws we should live by, and He WILL take action is His Creation to correct the current situation, that is out of control; just as it was in the days of Noah.

We are told that to study the prophesies is worth our while, 2 Peter 1:19. Amos 3:7 and Revelation 1:1, state that we His servants, have been shown what will take place. And we Christians should not be in the dark about it. 1 Thessalonians 5:3
The fact that there is so much controversy about it all, is an indictment on us. The biggest problem we have, according to scripture, is that people have fallen for false teachings. Isaiah 29:9-12 & 2 Thessalonians 2:11 say: that God puts people who do not open their minds to the truths of what God actually does plan for His people, under a compelling delusion. So be very sure that what you believe is plainly prophesied to happen.

Re this sign that will happen in a few days. I believe it will fulfil Revelation 12:1 and Luke 21:25a. What will follow is the not too distant future will be the rest of Luke 21:25-26. Verse 27 comes a few years later.
But we await a few more signs before the great and terrible Day of the Lord's vengeance and wrath, Where is Elijah?: Malachi 4:5 and I believe something will happen to Netanyahu: Micah 5:1, Isaiah 3:1-7

I've always thought Rev. 12 described mid-tribulation events. Still it's rather curious that we are in a year of Jubilee. During the last 2, the 1917 Balfour Declaration establishment of a "national home" for the Jewish people in Palestine and there was the Six Day War in 1967. Three historic hurricanes raging through the Caribbean and a massive earthquake in Mexico. Add to that you have a nuclear North Korean finally developing ICBMs that can be equipped with an Hydrogen bomb.

Perhaps anecdotal or coincidental, I really don't know. One thing is for sure, I'll be watching the news Saturday.

I keep hearing this, but what is your source? It is not a Jubilee according to any Jewish source I can find.
Neither have I, but it's a pretty commonly held view in Christian circles. Now I don't know how much stock I put in it since calculating it takes some doing.

It's assumed by looking at the effects of events 50 years apart pertaining to the modern state of Israel. Since the Jubilee year was a time where the land of the Israelites were returned to their rightful owners, one can look back 100 years ago and see the Jews given the right to return to their land through the Balfour Declaration, and again 50 years later when Jerusalem was recaptured. Since these 'look' like Jubilee years, it is assumed that if they are, then the trend will continue.

How will the rapture effect an individual person bodily differently than the resurrection?

According to 1 Corinthians 15:52-54, the living and the dead will both 'put on incorruption'.
What happens to the same person at the resurrection?
When they are resurrected?

I don't know that there is a direct connection but I think it's compelling.

Well, I have a fair idea of when Jesus will Return and commence His Millennium reign and there is a lot that must happen before that glorious Day. Therefore, things must commence soon; starting with the great and terrible Day of the Lord's wrath, the Sixth Seal, that will commence the final few years.
I've always thought Rev. 12 described mid-tribulation events
Revelation 12:6-17 is about the last 3.5 years, the 1260 days before Jesus Returns. That is why it isn't that event that will come as a thief, it will be the worldwide disaster of the Sixth Seal, that will hit unexpectedly. Now very soon!
Rev 12:1-5 is about Jesus' birth and ascension to heaven.

Re Jubilees: they occur every 49 years, that provable fact is undeniable and now we simply do not know when they occur. I am inclined to think they will re-commence at Jesus' Return.
