CDBJ- This isn't going to help you much, and I do know that if anyone can give you a date of Christ's return, they are not readers of the bible. I heard (or read) that Christians in other countries that are being persecuted for their faith, believe that they are in the beginning of the tribulation time. We who are in the "free" nations do not even have a clue. Yet the signs are everywhere that things are winding down faster and faster. How much longer will they go? How much longer will our Lord have patience until He says "Enough is Enough!" All the wondering and debate is not going to change a thing. He will start things when He sees fit. We just have to be ready. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong about the time, what matters is that He will be true to His word and will give us strength. When it happens, we will know, and not all the "I was right" or "I was wrong" is going to make a pinch of difference. But it is fasciniating speculating, isn't it? Peace in Christ- Debbie |

Debbie you right when you say no one can give a date, because it is not known exactly when Christ will return. But there are signs to distingush certain things that have to happen before He can return, thus eliminating a term that is called imminency. I haven't talked to a handfull of Christians that know, that on the very day that Christ rescues the believers from the earth, that God will begin to pour out His wrath on those that are left behind. There is even a book out that goes by that title, so that unbelievers if they read it, might think they have a second chance when all the believers seem to vanish away. They will have as much chance as those that were left after the ark was shut. God's wrath came that very same day in the form of rain. God's wrath came the very day that Lot left Sodom. He almost got his shirt tail burnt on the way out, but God delivered him just before the fire came down. These will be tempting times that will try the faith of many believers. Look at what II Pet.2:9 has to say. Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgement, There are many who think that the rapture will be a secret thing. The most glorius event in history will be taking place that shows the World who Christ is, and they say it will be a secret event, I don't think so!! Rev.1:7 every eye will see Him.
