Do you know that many Bible scholars believe that the 7 year" Great Tribulation" might start this year 2021, and the rapture could happen any time? [Spirituality & Religion]

@usher That is NOT what the Bible says. It says that it will come as a thief for those who are not looking, but NOT as a thief for those who are looking. [b]"It will NOT overcome you like a thief"[/b]

@Carazaa I agree that people should be prepared but when it will happen has never been stated. I think Jesus said that "it will come like a thief in the night. Be prepared"

@usher For those who are[i] not [/i]prepared it will come as a thief.

@Carazaa Like a television evangelist you mean? 🤔

@Carazaa True, but the time and date could be tomorrow or a million years from now. Nobody or neither the bible tells of date or time.

@usher Yes sir. Spot on. Biblical

@usher NO it can not be a million years from now. Jesus gave us many signs to look for that have never been before. Ill post them for you! @REMsleep

@Carazaa That's interesting.

@usher he Signs of Jesus return! We know he will come this generation. Edit
What are some signs of Jesus return? The book of Genesis, Matthew, Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation there are signs for us to pay attention to.

1. "Knowledge would increase" For 6000 years knowledge had slowly increased until 1945. In 1958 it had doubled, then doubled again 1960, And then it doubled every 2 years, and now it doubles every 12 minutes. NO other generatation has doubled their knowledge.

It is in the 33rd verse in Matthew 24 Jesus tells us
Matthew 24:33

“So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.”


2. "Going back and forth" would increase. A hundred years ago people travelled by horse and stayed in one place. Traveling to the USA took months by boat. Now people drive and fly everywhere. No other generation have they done this as much. No other generations.

3. The Jews would get their land back the last generation. There was no Israel for 2000 years until 1948 "And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. 32Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door ". And in Psalms 90:10 10Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
1948 + 80 = 2028 ( But the great tribulation might start 7 years before.

4.
In the Book of Daniel God says the words are sealed until the end 1290 days . Many will be" purified" but none of the wicked will understand.
And blessed is he who waits and comes to the 1335 more days. Daniel 12:12

So what did God say would be disclosed near the end of time in Daniel 12:9-11? Lets figure it out! What do you think it means? And what is at the end?

In John 2:22 It says that anyone denying Christ is antichrist."

In Daniel 8 It says for 2300 days the sanctuary will be cleansed and trampled under foot.

The abomination that causes desolation spoken in the Book of Daniel 680 BC and again mentioned in the New Testament in Mark and Matthew and The book of Revelation,

"So Let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, when you see the abomination that makes desolate."

Islam denies Christ as Gods Son and built a dome of the Rock in Jerusalem in 688.

In Rev 11, It says the woman will flee to the wilderness 1260 days ( if we apply this to years) The Jews were scattered.

In AD 333 Alexander the great conquered Conquered the persian Empire. Plus 2300 =1967 peace treaty

688 + 1290= 1978 A peace treaty (UNIFIL)

1260 + 688 = 1948 Israel became a nation

688 Dome was buit + 1335 Daniel 12:12 = 2023 AD



5. There will be increased pestilences, terrors, greate earthquakes, falling away from the faith, false pastors, and cold hearts. No time in history have christian countries fallen away from believing in Jesus like now. No other generations has seen ALL these at the same time ALL over the world.



6. He said that he would come back when the entire world has heard the gospel, every country, people group, and tribe. Only in our generation has the gospel gone out via radio, and internet, and TV to the entire world at the same time. This has never happened before except for this generation.

7. God said that "Don't be ignorant about this, a thousand years is like a day to God. And if we count the generations from Adam and Eve we are to the end 6000 year now. And God said that the 7th day is the day of rest.
First 2000- Age of Gentiles; Adam to Abraham
Second 2000- Age of Israel; Abraham- The Cross
Third 2000- Age of the Church; Cross- Tribulation
1000 years- Age of the Lord;- Revelation 20

No generation has gone into the 7th day until this generation. Also it might be that God started the time for us to calculate the the 7th day from when Adam and Eve sinned and were banned from the Garden of Eden. When was this, we don't know exactly. But they were probably created in their early twenties, and Adam was given a task to name the animals which we don't know how long that took but probably not long since they didn't conceive and they sinned and was shown out of Eden. Probably around age 25 they had to leave before they conceived. So when do we start the time table to the end, on day 6 when they were created or when they sinned and started their lives outside of the garden? Since Jesus was probably 33 when he died, Adam was probably around 33 when he died spiritually.



8. The Bible says is many places that Jesus would rise on the 3rd day. He was in the earth 3 days and nights. (Friday day and night) Saturday day and night) (Sunday night and morning) And a thousand years is like a day to God. Its been 2 days, 2000 years and we are going into the 3rd day in a few years. The third day, Sunday, only lasted a few minutes since he rose very early. So it will be early after 2000 years. Most believe he died year year 33. Many believe that Jesus will come and rapture us before the great tribulation, it might be before the last 7 years before he returns.

(Mark 8:31; Matthew 27:63). Other verses say "in three days" (Matthew 26:61, 27:40, John 2:19 - 20, Mark 14:58, 15:29).


9.

(Mark 9:31, 10:34, Matthew 16:21, 17:23, 20:19, 27:64, Luke 9:22, 18:33, 24:7, 21, 46, Acts 10:40, 1Corinthians 15:4). No other generation has entered the 3rd. day. No one knows the day or the hour, but we do know that we are most likely the last generation.

When God repeats things 2 or 3 times we need to pay attention. Each day is counted regardless on the time in each day. Friday, Saturday, he rose on Sunday morning. So what about the nights? He died 3pm (15:00) on April 3, year 33 and rose morning at sunrise 6:30 am (6:00) And God says 3 times to us that a thousand years is like a day to God.

Friday Day died 3am - 6 am (15:00-18:00)
Friday Night 6pm -12 pm (18:00-24:00)
Saturday Day 6am- 6pm (6:00-18:00)
Saturday Night 6pm- 12am (18:00-24:00)
Sunday night 12am-6am (12:00-6:00)
Sunday Day rose 6am-7am (6:00- 7:00)

Jesus gave us some hints when he would rise the second time. So a thousand years is like a day to God. How is this correlating to the last 2000 years since Jesus died. He said he would rise on the third day. Its been almost 2000 years since he died. And we are going into the "3rd day" now.


10. "There will be scoffers in the last days." People did not mock the Bible for 6000 years until this generation. Jesus said in the last generation people would be scoffing the Bible, the flood, and Jesus coming back. No other generations have fallen away and mocked like this generation.

"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation? 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.



11. Here are 2 videos. One of the prophesy of Daniel that predicts that the Great tribulation might start 2021 and end 2028 with Jesus return. And a video about the timeline of the Bible.






But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a]

Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory!
Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and
destruction of the ungodly." 2 Peter 3

@Carazaa @REMsleep

@Carazaa That has been over whelming for me. I can't understand most of it. I can understand what it says but the meanings are something I can't comprehend and my intuition is not to know when Jesus is coming but rather to obey his teachings. One of the last things Jesus said is "Love one another", and that is what is important to me. It's even more important to me than what the whole bible says. Analysing the bible is something I will never do as part of my creed. I listen to God through the consciousness of God who is nature and the Universe. I'm prepared for the next world no matter when it comes. In the meantime I will proceed to obey God's(Jesus) teaching and I won't preach anything unless I'm asked. That's me and my creed
