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!
