Spring 2003 AD – 2033 AD


     Within the next 30 years, Jesus will "most likely" come back to this earth physically, fulfilling the promise found in Acts 1:11. The "Baby Boomer" generation will likely experience this great event, if not, their children surely will.
     His "Second Coming" will be preceded by a "time of trouble" lasting 3˝ or 7 years depending on your method of Scriptural interpretation. If the length of the tribulation is 7 years, it will begin in the fall; however if the tribulation is 3˝ years, it will begin in the spring during Passover.
     Time will tell which interpretation is correct. If this spring would happen to be the beginning of "the Time of Jacob’s Trouble", then you could most likely expect to see a lot of "turbulence and chaos" in the Middle East preceding this great occurrence. Currently war is looming with Iraq, and Israel is in economic and political distress.
     If the "Great Tribulation" is in fact a 3˝ year – 1260 day time period, and it possibly begins this spring 2003 AD, then the following time sequence might apply shortly.
04/20/03 (possible start of 3˝ year tribulation) the 4th day of Passover through 10/01/06 (Day of Atonement) = 1260 days or 3˝ years; assuming these events occur in relation to the Jewish calendar.
     Interestingly, there is exactly 75 days from 10/01/06 (Day of Atonement) to the start of Hanukah on 12/15/06. 1260 + 75 = 1335 days Daniel 12:12?


04/20/03 (Easter Sunday)

+1260 days

10/01/06 (Day of Atonement)

+ 75 days

12/15/06 (1335 days of Dan. 12:12?) Then blessings follow!

     No where in these calculations is the rapture of the church mentioned, because no man knows the day or the hour of the rapture! The above dates are merely speculation based on the author's interpretation of the sequence of end time events. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus!
