Christians and Jews believe the 7 day week represents the time of man on earth. The 6 days of the week represent 6000 years for mankind to rule or work. (A thousand years is equal to one day unto the Lord) and the 7th day is the 1 thousand year Millennial rule of Jesus on this earth. (Revelation) If this is true which most Christians believe, when is the 6000 years up? According to the chronological years the Patriarchs lived form the time of Adam listed in the Bible, Adam would have been created about 4004 BC. Jesus was called the “second Adam” in scripture and He was crucified when he was 33 years old. (Luke 3:23 states He was about 30 years old when He began His ministry and the timeline by the Feasts show His ministry lasted 3 years) When Jesus began His ministry, the Pharisees ask for a sign and Jesus said, destroy this Temple and I will raise it in 3 days—speaking of His body. The Jews said, forty and six years has this Temple been built and you will raise it in 3 days? If you Google when Herod the Great began building the Temple, it is recorded as 20 BC. Forty six years from 20 BC brings you to 26 AD. Jesus was 30 in 26AD, crucified in 29 AD. Since the Rabbis of the Jewish faith consider pattern as prophesy, then it would seem plausible that Adam died when he was 33 years old. (Not literally but Adam brought death into the world when he sinned so in essence he died at 33 and Jesus brought life back to the world with His death when He was 33. (Romans 6) This would mean that Adam’s sin was somewhere around 3971 to 3970 BC. Now if you subtract 3971 from 6000 you get 2029 (or 2030 if you use 3970). So the 6000 years should be over in 2029 or 2030. Now since we know there will be a 7 year Tribulation (Revelation)(Daniel), if you subtract 7 years from 2029 or 2030, you get 2022 or 2023. Since most of all Christians believe the Rapture happens before the Tribulation begins, we are looking at the Rapture this year or next year. I am not saying this is true and I am not a prophet but if my math is correct, the God Wins statement could be more relevant than we realize!

"Since most of all Christians believe the Rapture happens before the Tribulation begins"
False, "most" Christians do not believe in a "rapture". This is a new and unbiblical teaching of the entertainment Christians who go to theaters and watch entertainment as their "worship".
False. Paul and the early church fathers taught the Rapture. I didn't say you had to believe it but the New Testament does teach--"Pray that you are worthy to escape the wrath to come". The wrath of God on the earth is the Tribulation. Paul spoke of the Rapture in 1 and 2 Thess.

The false religions teach a mid tribulations doctrine. No tribulation can begin until the Holy Spirit is taken out of this world with the church. The dead in Christ shall rise first and together with them, we shall meet Christ in the air. The Holy Spirit was sent in Acts 1 to gather the Body of Christ, His believers, and when that work is done, He will be taken out of this world.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 KJV For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Only then; 1st seal opened, antiChrist sent to conquer. No Holy Spirit to stop him.
Correct. The Pre-trib rapture teaching wasn’t introduced into the church until the 19th century. Until then, verses like Matthew 24 (especially v 29) were understood as written.
You should take verse 38 literally too
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
When Noah, and his family, we safely taken out of the world, only then did the wrath of God get poured out on it.
God always saves His people. Egypt, Sodom and Gomorrah, He even sent the early church to Syria to shield them from the Wrath poured out on Jerusalem in 70AD.
