Jubilee cycles are extremely difficult to determine because there must be a starting date and then every 50 years.   But how do we know the starting date?   We really don't.   "THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS"------- I have always taught that someone born in 1935 would be 13 years old in 1948 (obviously!), just old enough to really remember Israel's birth as a nation.   So, that same person would be 83 years old in 2018, and IF the Rapture is this year, that person would be 90 at the Second Coming.   We know what the mortality rates are at 90, probably around 50% or more are gone by then.   So, based on that concept, those just old enough to remember 1948 (early teens) now have a 50% or greater mortality rate by the Second Coming IF the Rapture is yet this year!   I think this concept is huge!   By the mid-2020's and later virtually all of these folks are gone!   So, I VOTE for the Rapture NOW!   Of course, the Lord may not take into account my vote ---- LOL!

Crusty as ever, the Rapture rodent,

P.S.   The Rapture rodent is no spring chicken himself------ born in 1950 and now 68.

P.P.S.   I welcome anyone else's thoughts on "this generation shall not pass".   This is relative to Israel's return as a nation in 1948
