Ok so... I haven't looked, in detail, at why this dude person thinks the rapture is happening tomorrow. I skimmed... and I basically gathered that he's using the "thousand year day" thing and added up the timeline and came up with this date. Ok, that makes sense, but is still incorrect.

I'm in facebook, reading over some discussion boards on a Bible

Their defense for the "no man knows" argument is that, as believers, we CAN know (their motto) if we read and study the Bible. They quote 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 for this. People of the world are "in the dark" as far as when the coming of the Lord will be, but because we are "children of the light" we will not be surprised by the Lord's coming.

Apparently that equates to us being able to know EXACTLY WHEN he will come.

It's hard to be surprised by something you're always expecting... which is what the verse means, LoL. But you know that already.

Did you see my above comment about the "88 reasons" thing? I seriously LoL'd at that.

Heh. Yea, I was wondering how they determined the end of the church age. They never said much about that, yet there was all this supposed PROOF...

I have one idea...

I remember listening to Jack Van Impe talking about the fig tree prophecy... something about the generation which sees Israel becoming a nation again wouldn't pass before the end came... I haven't done any personal research into that one, but that's what he said. Anyway, I believe the 6-day war was in 1948, and I remember him saying that a generation is 40 years. Now JVI actually went by the 1967 date when it all became official, and predicted 2007 (at least he didn't put a specific date on it, thereby not technically going against scripture) but my husband and I were just talking about it, and seconds before I got your comment in my e-mail, we figured maybe 1948+40=1988?

After re-reading that... I hope it made sense, LoL. I get in a hurry sometimes when I type and don't take the time to formulate sentences very clearly... haha.
