Rapture 2020: the Countdown to the End

[Rapture and End Times]

From counting farm animals, we have invented the natural numbers. The need to count faster lead to the computer. But, we don’t need computers to determine when the end will happen. There a way we can calculate it with simple addition. Rapture 2020: the Countdown to the End

There are a number of mistakes on your linked web page that you have linked too.

So sorry that you have not understood what the Scriptures actually state.

Go back and start again your study of the chronology of God's plan for the salvation of the world. You may get it right, but based on what you have presented on your web page site, all that you have presented are you miscalculations in your understanding of God's Prophetic prophecies.

Based on my study of the Chronology of the Old Testament, the closest of the previous chronologies to the right understanding can be found in the work of a person named T. Lydiat but I suspect that he had an error of around 3 years in his calculations. A list of the previous chronologists can be found in the book written by D. Floyd Nolen Jones, The Chronology of the Old Testament, © 1993-2004, 16th Edition, on page 26.

In this book, it is claimed that the scriptures determined his calculations, but the truth of the matter, it is his interpretation of the scriptures and the application of that interpretation that determined his calculation, not the scriptures themselves. It is my claim that Ussher and Jones discounted three witnesses in favour of just one reference and their interpretation of that reference in Acts 7:4 that has lead to their errors. There are also other errors that have skewed their Chronologies.

Your Understanding of the chronology of God's Prophetic prophecies is also flawed in a similar manner in that it is your interpretation of the scriptures that has driven your conclusions.

There is one prophecy in Ezekiel which provide all of the information to determine chronologically when the End of the Age of the Ages will be. A brief reading of your web page suggests that you have not considered that prophecy at all in your work.

Shalom

Jesus said that no one knows when he will return. Rather than speculating about something he said we won't know, we should be studying the Bible to find out how he wants us to live.

The site linked to in the OP contains a revelation supposedly from God with no scriptural supports. We are supposed to have nothing to do with false prophets who bring revelations of their own rather than expounding on what god has revealed to us in the Bible.

The Book of Revelation explains it all, but too many people are hung up on the ability to not know(2000 years ago, they were not to know), but unless we know at the end how can we be prepared? Rejecting out of hand everything, may prevent the knowledge one could use to be prepared. The whole world has been deceived, by 2 Timothy 3:7
"Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

The truth is going to go against even the knowledge of the elect, those secure in their knowledge of God. It is no humans fault, because like Job, Satan was allowed to blind even Job to the truth of what was going on, until the end when God showed Job the truth. If God used a single human, instead of taking over a TV broadcast, to tell the world, even the body of Christ will reject it, because they think they know all truth, but all they know is the Gospel. That is the only thing God told the church to do. Go into all the world proclaiming the Gospel. Teaching others, to go out and do the same thing. When God does send a witness in the end, only those willing to forgo, all their knowledge and wisdom about the end, and trust God, and that witness, will they understand Satan's deception. 2 Timothy 3:7 indicates all knowledge and learning leads to no where. Giving up on knowledge is even harder than understanding the Atonement.

How does one human's understanding help those who think they know everything about how the end happens? It is true that God has used many men of God in the last 100 years to teach the whole council of God. That was done to prepare the hearts and minds of believers to the Truth. It is not the Scriptures that are to blame. It is the world's education system that has hidden the truth and blinded the eyes of the whole world. No one can even refute the teachings of the world and many have tried. They have only had the world's knowledge and understanding to use against the world. If any human has had the truth, they were not allowed to use it. The truth is for the church to be prepared, not the whole world. It is only by Faith, trust in God, that truth can be revealed. And only the Holy Spirit can confirm the truth, in the Word of God, the Bible.

Here is the answer Jesus gave to that question.

"You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Luke 12:40 ESV

The book of Revelation tells us what will happen but not when it will happen. We must always be prepared.

Ecclesiastes 1:17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

Whatever happened to 2012?

Do you mean Noah's Ark? Some claim it never happened either. First comes the birth of water, next is birth of fire.

We don't know when Armageddon will happen. That last day in which The True God Jehovah will send his Only Begotten Son Jesus with the Angels to destroy wicked or unrighteous mankind. That day we don't know when it will happen. The second presence of Jesus Christ however Jesus gave his disciples a composite sign so that his disciples would know that they were in his second presence. That second presence of Jesus Christ we are in today.

Well it is happening, so if you are prepared there is nothing to argue about. If you think it will always happen tomorrow, then perhaps tomorrow one can prepare for it. But being prepared before it; will never happen again.

What is happening now is that the Holy Spirit is empowering believers to preach the message of salvation. The began at Pentecost and will continue until the church is removed by the rapture. We don't know when this will happen. The final words of Jesus before his ascension, recorded in Acts 1:7,8 were, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

If you go by your own quote, it was not for those watching Jesus leave.

If you deny the body of Christ now, who can know, then you are denying the Holy Spirit the work being done.

Today is the day of preparation. In less than 3 years, it will all be over.

The rapture and God Himself appearing on earth could be in the next few months, not years. Now is the time to be prepared. Not just thinking about, "I should probably start preparing soon." How can one prepare during war, famine, and attacks of wild animals, after the fact?
