Dispensationalist rapturites believe the "secret" rapture is coming this year, maybe summer or fall. I would be fine with that, but I think it is a little early.
My husband thinks Christ will come within 5 years. We are in process of moving. I think he wants to enjoy his new house for a bit.
I think Christ's second coming may be within 6 months to just a few years. My reasoning is because the prophetic countdown is near the end of Revelation, and it matches with current events.
Those of you waiting for Christ, what do you think about the timing?
God's biblical calendar was determined by the moon cycles. The new moon would signify the beginning of the Sabbath cycles, day 1, day 8, day 15, and day 22. This happened every 7 days, except at the last Sabbath of the month which could be 1 or 2 or 3 days until the next new moon appeared. Two witnesses had to report to the Sanhedrin to announce the new moon. Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets was the only festival to fall on the 1st of the month, and no one could plan for the celebration because "no one knew the day or hour" until the new moon appeared. The Feast of Trumpets foreshadowed Christ's return. Jesus told his disciples many times that he would come soon, in their lifetime. I believe he kept his promise. I believe the millenial reign already happened, Satan was loosed hence the evil state of our world. Our history has been erased, and we were told we are still waiting on the 2nd coming. We are in Rev 20 waiting on the New Earth which is being transformed right before our eyes. I'd love to read the history books recovered under the Vatican.
But I thought Satan's loosing was supposed to be short?
I do believe true history has been erased to some degree. There are a lot of videos about ancient Tartaria, which some believe was the millenial reign. I have watched some of these. It's very mysterious! We used to have an amazing architecture and technology, amazing art. It has been covered up. There are some who say 1,000 years of our past has been hidden. Well, more things to ponder . . .
We aren't in 2023. Years have been added to our calendar. We consider a season as 1/4 of a year. If the millenial reign was 1000 years, then a season is 250 years. If "Satan's time is cut short," then less than 250 years. Is it possible that the year known as 1776 wasn't our independence? 1776+250= 2026 cut short...any day now his time is up??? Hopefully, the truth will be revealed soon.
