That's why I hold to the "any day" theory. Hoping that "Rapture chat V.21" is the last version before we're home! So amazing to see what is playing out on the world stage. Even more encouraging how precise the Bible is in describing what is happening today. Absolutely agree. The suggestion that it could be up to three years was what I was referring to, but then Pete and others have made the point about being in a possible 0-4 year window based on 2000 years after the Crucifixion,with 2033 being the latest likely date for that. I've thought for quite a while now that there will be a gap between the Rapture and the covenant, so I guess we'll see in God's perfect timing. It does feel like things have suddenly kicked into a much higher speed. I picked an interesting ten days to he traveling outside the country (fortunately not in the mid east!) Terry I hold to an imminent rapture — not because of Jack Kelley but because God said to be ready in season and out and look up and many other scripture…. A wrench in Jack’s theory is because “Gentiles” and “Jews” will be saved during the tribulation, they are called tribulation saints and the martyred ones ask God from under His throne, “How long …. In my humble opinion, the fullness of the gentiles will not be until after the 1000 years and when satan is again loosed for a “season” after the millennial reign and then condemned for all eternally in the lake of fire. Then the new age begins. The next 7000 years or longer, I do not know that and scripture does not give us anything but “in the age to come … The are many verses that talk about the age to come, some of these talk about it from the Gentile age or church age, which we live in now and then the “ages to come …” Ephesians 2 is awesome but one verse stands out as a “future” verse — Ep 2:7 “that in the ages to come God might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” Ok so I am rambling and just know that most of this will be found out soon when we go home to be with the Father … :yahoo: I understand that the shepherd (Jesus) would leave the 99 sheep to find one lost lamb. But, when Jesus walked the earth, he did things or events happened to him on Jewish holy days. It could be possible that since the New Testament, maybe something could occur on Easter or Christmas. Or it could be some minor Jewish or Christian holiday that we are not thinking of since He does come as a thief in the night (to those who are not watching). Botttom line: I don't believe the rapture will just be a random day. Of course, I could be wrong.
