I had a thought about being in the year 2023. If the rapture happened this year, it would bring us to 2030 for the second coming after seven years of tribulation. Wikipedia has Jerusalem destroyed in 70 AD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jerusalem_(70_CE) Wikipedia also has Christ crucified probably in 30 AD, which makes sense with the 40 year gap between the crucifixion and the destruction of Jerusalem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_of_Jesus So, if Christ returned in 2030 AD after 7 years of tribulation starting this year, 2023, it would make His return in 2030 exactly 2000 years after His crucifixion. Just some interesting simple arithmetic for this year. :popcorn B-) I am good with a 2023 rapture —- who wouldn’t be!!! :yahoo: Again, given the shemitta cycles and the year of Jubilee, it can't be much later! May He grant me the grace, strength and wisdom to hold on until we are indeed raptured! Praying the Lord will draw ever closer to each of us while here, and supply all our needs till then! Again I wish to thank all of RITAN members for lifting me up when I am down, encouraging me when I am discouraged, and loving me when I feel unlovable! TR Sounds good to me!!! This year is perfect. This scenario of Christ's coming after 2000 years reminds me of this verse in Hosea: "Hosea 6:2 After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight."
I'm ready!
