I have been reading both of your posts for a while now and I found a similarity in what both of you are saying.

Ron said he believes that the tribulation started in 2008 and ends in 2015 based on supernatural revelation.   And Amanda says she believes the Lord's Second Coming is in 2016 based on fellowshipping with the Lord.     Amanda also believes that the rapture would occur in the Spring of 2011 which is still technically 2 years into the famine, just a little over based on Ron's calculations.

I seem to find a parallel here because if the tribulation ended in 2015, then if the land was cleansed for 7 months, then could He is crowned in 2016?    I was just thinking about Perry Stone's videos on the Jubilees.   He says that the last Jubilee based on the historical dating from the Book of Jubillees were:  1896-1897,  1945-1946 and then 1994-1995.   Here are the videos.

Now what I wanted to say about the count of the sabbatical years off of this timeframe presented by Perry is that the sabbatical cycle started in 2008 and ends 2015.  

In any case I drove 3 hours last night to see Jesse Duplantis in Bakersfield.   It was amazing.   He said that 2011 was the "Year of Answers."     And that many people are asking him if 2011 is the year we will be in Heaven, but he doesn't go into that.   I think Jesse probably wants people to get to that corridor for themselves and be ready.   But it was a great time they had lots of jazz type worship music, reminiscent of Bruce Hornsby.   I am not sure when Amanda believed the tribulation started, but I wanted to share this parallel.   Could our answer to all our problems be the RAPTURE?   Please let it be so Lord Jesus!

Before I thought maybe we were waiting for the tribulation to start and how Perry Stone said that originally they wanted the mark to be implemented in 2012 but moved it to 2017.   And I thought about a tactic of the enemy.   He always tells people that they have more time, they are young and they can wait until they are old when they are on their death bed to get saved, then the enemy tries to kill them through car accidents, drugs, alcohol, etc.   And the enemy always minimizes what he is doing and tries to make his opponent look insane, that they do not know what they are talking about, they are paranoid and conspiracy theorists.  

So I thought about this and I realized something, the enemy is making us think he is delaying the mark so that we put our guards down and the rapture comes sooner than we thought.   And because the enemy kept minimizing the earthquakes, bird deaths, uprisings, government collapses, currency devaluations, food shortages, floods, etc. that we would get desensitized to the destruction and not believe that we were really in the tribulation.  

I am beginning to believe we are in the tribulation.   Since 2008 I have seriously been in fierce battle with the enemy.   I have almost died twice and the Lord said I would make the rapture.   So this is my calling to help others make it too.   

And what makes sense about the posts both of you are putting out there is this....John Paul Jackson said 2011 would be very hard, but 2012 would be the beginning of Great Woes.   Now all I can think of is the mark of the beast.   And I keep thinking that the rapture would need to happen, a lot of war and panic and then a global leader to emerge to the scene.   So possibly could they need a year of transition and people have time to witness without being forced the mark yet?   Like what Ken Peters said happened in his videos?

I went to Barnes and Noble today 2/2/2011 after picking my child up from school.   I asked if he wanted a frappucino or smoothie there at their Starbucks.   I walked in and of course they are already selling magazines for witches and books with nude women and putting them in the VERY front of the store but that is not what shocked me.

What shocked me to my core was when I was standing in line.   A girl in front of me had the sun burst tattoo that Ken Peters in his videos says in the mark of the beast.  It was in the EXACT location that they are putting the microchip which is between the pointer finger and the thumb.    However she had it on her LEFT hand but it was EXACTLY like what Ken Peters drew in these videos.  

It is a RFID tattoo that can come in the form of different colors or invisible ink.

I did not want to confront her, because I tried to do that before at a Target with this elderly woman and she started screaming obscenities at me.   So I looked at my son and I pointed, see that girl and her sunburst tattoo, that is the mark of the beast.   It is a RFID tattoo.   I think I shook the girl up so bad that she couldn't concentrate and she left without her drink.
