Sister Peggy,

There are significant conclusive implications for what you are saying. Inferences into the meaning of The Scriptures cannot be made unless a CONCRETE PRECEPT is stated elsewhere in The Bible, which is usually referenced directly or indirectly by at least one of the many authors The Lord used to write His Word.

The only potential exception to that are excerpts of ancient and modern history which, unmolested by human recorders, happen to naturally fit exactly within the time and space in which a passage was written.

I prefer that scripture does the talking.

The Bible says:

· Exodus 20:5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

· Exodus 34:7
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

· Numbers 14:18
The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

· Deuteronomy 5:9
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

It is FALSE that people are not held accountable until they are age 20 for their sins:

Deuteronomy 2:34

34And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
Deuteronomy 3: 3,6,
3So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
6And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

“Utterly destroyed the children” – take note.

As part of my job and my wife’s job, we have both been privy to the factual observations of this scripture in action. The most widespread pattern is the inheritance of a birth defect and inflicted emotional trauma in numerous children because of the promiscuity and additional substance abuse by a mother and the lack of a responsible father/male role model, which occurred in the lives of both parents because neither had a responsible father at all, either. These examples are pan-racial-socio-economical factors in society.

Basically, these children are utterly destroyed while they are growing up.

Scripture is straight forward and beautifully clear. It speaks for itself. One thing that it does not say is 2008. The only way it might be 2008 is if The Lord follows the pattern of Scripture that He has set out for us. This is set forward in Matthew 24. A fig tree is no longer tender after 20 years of age, just like people. Israel was born in 1948 and conceived on November 27, 1947, when U.N. Resolution 181 was voted upon to create two Palestinian states: one for the Jews and one for the Arabs.

On May 14, 1948, the Jews made their declaration of independence and formed their government and the Arabs formed battalions instead. Then the Arabs lost, then again and again.

The Lord states that a generation is 40 years. Where is the scripture that states a generation is, “once you’re 30, then start counting 40 more years?”

www.cuttingedge.org PREDICTS that the Palestinian-Syrian judgement, USA Judgement, and Gog-Magog, along with North Korea’s destruction of Japan and China’s retaking of Taiwan will all happen in 91 days. Then the anti-christ will confirm the covenant. It could happen that way…where are the scripture verses…..

Here it is: Matthew 24:22

“22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.”

You can count on this phrase of mine: when there are no Christians to enforce the law, to oppose and contend with evil men and to halt the ambitious march of conquerors – wickedness will exponentially increase very quickly.

This is why the beast will speak proudly. We weren’t around to keep him from gaining power because we were raptured out of this dimension. We would know who he is…and would prevent him from gaining control because we know what he’s going to do – very bad things!

Daniel 7:24-25 “The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.”

We are the Gentile Bride of The Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He sealed our Ketubah with His spilt Blood. We gentiles may use our pagan 365 day calendar when we consider these matters too.

The scriptural precept which we can claim this fact is found in Genesis 5: 20-24

20And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.

21And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:

22And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

23And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:

24And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

The Lord raptured this gentile when he was exactly 365 years old. This is a SCRIPTURAL FACT. Just as a generation is 40 years!

Psalm 95:10
”Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:”

Then Enoch’s gentile son Methuselah lived to be 969 years of age. That’s almost 1000 years old – like the looming millennial reign.

Genesis 5: 27”And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.”

Read it for yourself. The Scriptures will do the talking!
