Although the Lord never gave us a clue, as to when He would be coming back for us, He did tell us to be ready to meet Him.....
Matthew 24:44 “Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”

--------------------------------------------------
And He did make it clear, that the timing of His return would be a big secret.....
Mark 13:32 “But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”
--------------------------------------------------
But, as long as we don’t let it take over our life, I don’t think, that there is anything wrong, with a little speculation. So here it is.....
Revelation 11:3-13
V.3 ¶ And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
V.4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
V.5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
V.6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
V.7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
V.8 And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
V.9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
V.10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
V.11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
V.12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
V.13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

--------------------------------------------------
(FACT) V.3 “my two witnesses”
These two preachers, will start preaching soon after the rapture:
(And will preach throughout the 1st half of the tribulation period).
--------------------------------------------------
(FACT) V.3 “a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days”
They will preach for 1,260 days:(42 months = Three and 1/2 years)
--------------------
Then in V.7 “the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.”
The anti-christ, will kill them, and leave their dead bodies, lying in the street.
--------------------------------------------------
(FACT) V.10 “And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another”
Then, every Christ rejecting sinner on earth, will celebrate their death, and make merry and send gifts to one another.
--------------------------------------------------
(SPECULATION) What does this sound like to you. (A little like Christmas, right!)
--------------
It seems like every year, that Christmas gets more and more secular; Imagine, how bad it will be, three and a half years, after every Christian is removed from the earth.
--------------------------------------------------
Note: If indeed, these two preachers will be killed around December 25, than that means, that the Rapture will have occurred, three and a half years earlier.
(That’s around June 25)

Oh by the way, today is June 8, 2008, and if we aren’t raptured within the next 17 days or so, then we can put this post away, for another year.

But we must always be expecting the Lord to return for us at any minute, so that we will be Ready.

Well, ya big ape, I fearlessly and confidently predict that exactly nothing of the sort will happen around June 25th, or any other time either, ever. It's not going to happen. It's a fiction.

V.5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.


V.7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Here we go....:roll:

You zealots are such blood thirsty creatures!

What always interests me regarding these "end-time" cults is the fact that most of their "facts" are not found in Scripture. This is especially true of the ideology of the "rapture". There is simply nowhere in Scripture that addresses such a bizarre concept.

Are you that streetcorner preacher from Yonge Street? Thirty-five years ago I didn't follow you down to the river to be saved - and no fires of hell came to devour me for my lustful thoughts (et al) that eve....

Hi jimmoyer

You asked.........
“Are all the religions all about us?”

The answer is yes.

Of everything that God made, human beings are the only ones who were made in His image.

And human beings, are the ones, that God sent His Son to die for.


Yes, it’s all about us.

Why would one assume that sending gifts to one another means Christmas.

Halloween, we give tons of gifts to children, and the celebration grows every year.

Valentine's Day, again, tons of gifts, with the celebration growing every year.

Easter... gifts.

Heck, even Thanksgiving is now starting to be a gift giving time.

No, but thank you.

You are absolutely right;

That’s why in my post, I called this part, “pure speculation”!

Hi bigape....

I can accept your understanding as yours. What may work for you may not be right for me. Salvation is peace of mind, comfort and yes, even Faith. That comes from within. It has been my experience that man's Church imposes it's own guilt and doom. It robbed me of my own peace - whichever name we choose to call it: God's peace.

Well we were all supposed to die at the turn of the 1900's... then it was supposed to be the turn of the 2000's.... then that was pushed off to 2003 because of the questioning of Jesus's age, then again with relation to his age and this date +30 or so years, then if you look at the Aztec clanender, it's supposed to be 2012.... then if you check out the Global Warming people, the craps' supposed to hit the fan by sometime in 2008-2030.... but then they pushed that ahead 15 more years due to some cooling trend.

Then if you look into the WWIII people's theories, it's supposed to be between 2008-2016 that we're all supposed to die from some nuclear holocaust..... and now you're claiming it's June 25th?

And on top of that, you started the post with this:

Mark 13:32 “But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”

So if none of us are supposed to know when it's going to happen and only God's supposed to know when it's going to happen, then your above speculations based on the other quotes are meaningless and isn't the true date, since he wouldn't have allowed basic humans to figure it out based on "The Word of the Lord" which we're supposed to take to book as. And if the book is the word of the lord, then what he claimed above as nobody knowing when it's going to happen should either be true, and thus we'll never know.... or he left the answers in the bible, we can figure it out, and thus, God made a mistake or a contradiction in his words..... and if God made a mistake and/or contradiction, then how can humans hold faith in whatever else is expressed in the Bible?

Either there is no supplied information on this paticular topic of the end of days and God is true in existence, or there is, and thus, God screwed up, and if God screwed up, then God isn't perfect as everyone claims he is.... he can make mistakes just like we humans can, and therefore we shouldn't be putting our faith and worship into someone else who makes mistakes like that, because then they are not perfect, and they are not a God...... and those who do, are worshiping a false idol.... or would that count since that comandment was also the word of the lord who is false?

Hi again lone wolf

You said........

--------------------------------------------------
I fully agree with that statement. Men have taken the truth’s of God’s Word, and twisted them around people’s throats, in order to gain power over them.

But Jesus said.......
John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
and
Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Hi Praxius

I understand most of what you said, and to this I can agree.....
“Anyone who ever nails down a date, for the return of Christ, is a false prophet.”

None of the false prophets throughout history, ever said, that they were “Speculating”. Every time, they nailed down a date, and every time they were wrong.


I did nail down a date, I simply made an educated guess, and I clearly called it “Speculation”.

Notice the end of my post........
