Joel 2:23 Commentary - John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
I'm ready just in case.Wrong,
It was God who gave the decree and Cyrus who published it.
Isaiah 44:23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
1 ¶ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5 ¶ I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
Well, based on your weak response above, again I ask you to explain what part of Jesus’ own words do you not understand in Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32?Now we have the book of Revelation, and we are closer to the end of the aeon than they were, so we know the appointed times and dates, because many of them have been fulfilled.
So the book of Revelation tells “them” the “appointed dates and times”? Really? Where? Is that where you pull out the year 2027 from? Which verse exactly?Because the book of Revelation had not been given to them to tell them the appointed dates and times, for that book of prophecy came much time later after the early assemblies.

You can’t answer that question. It’s been asked of you at least three times now and you always come up empty.

So under your bizarre explaination, you would then have the Book of Revelation contradict Acts 1:7, Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32. Again, those passages are ALL in JESUS’ OWN WORDS!
Sorry pal, but neither Jesus Himself nor the Bible ever contradict themselves. Only YOU do that and you do it extremely well, I might add.
Jesus used the word “date” in Acts (saying that we would NOT know the “DATE.”) A “YEAR” that you enjoy using in your claim is part of a “DATE.” You claiming to know the “year” goes against what Jesus said. Shrug your shoulders some more, because it shows your gross ignorance of scripture, even when it’s in front of you. Uber FAIL.I already answered your question, but you refused the answer. The day nor the hour we do not know, neither have I claimed to know, but the year yes. Take the answer, or leave it. Not gonna argue endlessly with you about it. -Shoulder shrugs-

I agree, but, I bet He knows now... He just didn't as a man/God, during His earthly stay...Jesus said nobody knew but the father.
I already answered your question, but you refused the answer. The day nor the hour we do not know, neither have I claimed to know, but the year yes.
But you don't.
All this and all you can say is, "possible year", "it's a mystery", and so on.
If we're around in 2028, nothing's happened and we call you on it, you'll just say, "I only said possible".
Why not say "possible", if you yourself say it is possible for it to happen tomorrow, or in a year? The possibility you suggest is no different than the possibility I suggest, except I have prophetic timelines to back mine up, whereas you don't. Stop grumbling and learn.
I wasn't grumbling, I was pointing out your inconsistency.
One minute you are talking about a possible year - in the title of this thread. The next minute you are saying that we can KNOW the year, just not the day or hour.
I don't believe we can know, and any attempts to try to work it out are, for me, not important.
They may not be important to you, because you don't care about acquiring knowledge,
but to us who love the word of God
and acquiring knowledge, we want to know.
.Why? Because we want Jesus Christ to come in our lifetimes,
which is why we search the scriptures with joy to find clues pertaining to his coming.
I certainly do - just not on this subject.
That's a judgment.
Implying I don't - another judgment.
If you believe you CAN know, go ahead, and good luck.
As do I.
Nothing will make him come any sooner, though. His return has already been decided by the Father. If it's planned for 100 years time, studying Daniel won't make it happen any quicker.
Up to you.
I'm just happy to know that he's returning again one day. In the meantime, there is work to do.
The second coming will not be in 100 years, that I know for certain. We are in the height of the times for it to be in the next 10 years or less, not just from a perspective of the book of Daniel, and the Jubilee cycles, but even from what we see around us. Europe is about to federalize as a "United States of Europe", the amount of depravity that is rampant all around us, homosexuals now getting married and men having sex with men in public places in cities like San Francisco, and even gay pride parades in Israel!
I don't know what you mean by "Europe being about to federalize". The rest of it remains to be seen.
