Dear friends:

In looking at some old files today, I discovered this interesting exchange from a couple of months ago.

I asked a question of a few friends: "Some sources say that Abraham was born 2008 years after the first Adam.  See
http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/sbs777/prophecy/timeshrt.html.  Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham."

I went on to ask, "Grace was first revealed through Abraham.  In a mirror image, we are now at 2008 years after the last Adam.  Will the age of grace now end in 2008? Is this all a mirror image confirming 2008 as the end of the church age and the rapture?"

Pastor F. M. Riley of Missouri, a noted Bible and prophecy scholar, replied with the following information: "I have written on this several times in various Bible Studies.  I pointed out the Scriptural proof, book, chapter, and verse, that proves Abraham was born in 2008, and pointed out that his seed, particularly the 144,000, will come to spiritual birth in 2008."
