When nothing particularly noteworthy happens in September, will you come back and admit to being wrong?As America wanes, Israel waxes. As the fig tree Israel grows toward 70 years old, we know this generation will witness the end. The time of the gentiles must end in this 1948-? generation. We cannot see a time or day, but we can see the month and year. Another harbinger of warning is due America in September, more accurate and serious than the last. The writing is on the wall. God's hand is slowly pulling away. He turns His face from the prideful. Our police have lost their peace, our courts are corrupt. All nations will be against Israel in the last day, including America.
Yes...as far as another warning coming yes.When nothing particularly noteworthy happens in September, will you come back and admit to being wrong?
See you in September, then.
One needs to know the correct rendering of "this generation"
The Lord is speaking to Israel in this case, but He speaks of the "generation" of humans from the flood forward to His next judgment of the coming tribulation still pending
From judgment .... to judgment [Matthew 24:36-39]
He does not mean the generation of Israel living in the first century, or since 1948
He has said that no one can know the dating of His next intervention to bring His next judgment to the earth
Because of this, any attempt to date the event will fail
In fact, it could come before this day is over .... a remnant of Israel has returned to the land and in place to experience the time of Jacob's trouble still pending
..... and until the fullness of the Gentiles has been added to His true ecclesia .... this is still ongoing as we speak
He alone knows this dating
The Day of the Lord and the Great Tribulation are two absolutely unique (and probably overlapping) events prophesied in Scripture, and by Christ Himself, and we are rapidly approaching that period of history. The first five seals of Revelation have already been opened, and the above events belong to the 6th and 7th seals.
The evidence for this is the pervasive and increasing apostasy (falling away) which is all around us within "Christendom", the latest indicators being the Emergent Church Movement, the ordination of homosexual clergy, the focus on angels instead of Christ, and many other aspects of the serious departure from the true Bible and Bible truth. Things will only get worse until the Abomination of Desolation is set up in the temple at Jerusalem (which is currently being built). Study 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 for further insight.
At the same time, we dare not set dates, but rather should re-double our efforts to bring souls to Christ and disciple believers in sound doctrine (which is going to become rarer and rarer).
We need to tie this in with Revelation 13 as well as several prophecies in Daniel. The Man of Sin will control the whole world with an iron fist for 3 1/2 years and will be an individual who calls himself God.I too have always believed the Temple in Jerusalem has to be rebuilt before the AofD and the Day of the Lord.
However, have you ever thought that the AofD is already 'standing in the Holy Place'?
The Dome of the Rock is standing over the exact spot of the Holy of Holies. Mohammad followers claim Allah is God.
They are chopping off Christian and Jewish heads. Have we been wrong about the Temple? Just wonderin....your thoughts?

Long generation, ain't it? Nigh on 70 years. Of course, when you start date setting it pays to be pretty elastic in your time measurements. <Laugh>I guess we disagree on 'this generation'. I believe it speaks of the generation who saw the beginning of the return of the Jews to Israel in 1948.
"Replacement theology" is the Dispensational Futurist notion that the Church will be replaced by Temple Judaism and animal sacrifice in The Millennium. It's a blasphemous fiction.Sounds like another form of replacement theology to me.
