Thanks for that. I love listening to Adrian Rodgers on the radio. I believe there is a gap also because in Revelation, it says there is a search of everyone in heaven for someone worthy to open the seals and none was found except Jesus. Also, from the time of the rapture, it will take the A/C time to make his appearance (even thou he is alive and in the shadows today) and take control of things. I had not considered it taking a year, but I really like that idea. That means we are closer yet - Perhaps Today. Again, the idea of a quickening of our spirits prior to the Rapture is simply a theory, like many others! We still must be sensitive to the Spirit's still small voice! No foregone conclusions here! God is simply that good! TR arthur- so if you are right about 30 AD, it would be exactly 2000 years later if He comes back to earth 2030 AD...so would that have to do with something about the 3rd day? like adding the Millennium means after 3000 years -as 3 days- and then the New Earth and heavens? foreshadowed by Christ's resurrection on the 3rd day showing The Father's acceptance of The Son's sacrifice? then the Earth & heavens are like dead and resurrected to new life in a way showing the finality and absolute completion of His redemption of His Creation? i'm excited that our Lord will explain so many wonderful things to us "in person" when we have a glorified brain that can wrap around it all and praise and glorify Him for all His ways...so ready!!! For anyone having a brain already! Me and the "tin man" are buds! TR Meant scarecrow! TR This verse is why I think it will be 2,000 years. Hosea 6:2 New King James Version 2 After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. Told you I did'nt have a brain! TR And the question I still have is will the church age be 2000 365.25 day years or 2000 360 day years ? The first 5 verses of Esther are very interesting. They make me think that we will spend the last 6 months of the gap taking are new home and God in before the Tribulation begins on Earth and our honeymoon begins in Heaven. 1Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:) 2That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace, 3In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him: 4When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days. 5And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
He definitely may be on to something there.
