Finishing Strong

Friends:

Let me extend my sincere appreciation to the scholars who decided to exhaust the notion of a Pentecost rapture this year.

Although this window of opportunity has since expired, in retrospect, this certainly was an exciting dress rehearsal. The bigger point can be made, that anytime we get this generation to dwell on the Blessed Hope, the elect stands to benefit from it.

Before idling this site though, I also didn't want to miss the chance to encourage visitors to keep looking-up. The Lord's return and the rapture that precedes it were promised to the generation living at the time Israel was reborn in 1948.

And by my best estimate, we can now place a not-to-exceed marker in the month of September, 2010, for the rapture of the Church. I arrive at this date through the following assumptions:

1) God's prophetic time-clock (for approaching Daniel's 70th week) resumed its countdown in May of 1948

2) This basis year, combined with the most popular reckoning for the length of a generation (i.e. 70-years) now points to 2018

3) And if the remaining Jewish Feast Days also prefigure actual prophetic milestones, the Fall of 2017 will figures prominently

4) Last, if the rapture of the Church precedes the tribulation by 7-years, between now and September, 2010 frames the remaining window

So to keep this time frame foremost in our thinking, a count-down timer has been established. Please see:

I anticipate that if our estimates are on target, we will rapidly see world events spiral toward what I'll describe as undeniable endtime developments. With this in mind, as the day approaches, I invite you to join me in redoubling our efforts to reach our world for Christ.

God's speed...
