All of you end time Bible prophecy enthusiasts, consider the following!  If the Rapture and subsequent beginning of the 7 year Tribulation was yet this year, then the Second Coming would be in 2030.  Would that be important prophetically?  Most definitely yes!  Consider Hosea 6:2 and Luke 13:32 & 33!   One day to God is as 1000 of our years (2 Peter 3:8), so after "2 days" or 2000 years we would be raised up and live before the Lord on the "third day" (the 1000 year Kingdom Age following the Second Coming).  Most biblical accounts have Jesus being born a few years B.C, and then Him going to the cross in 30 A.D.  Now add "2 days" or 2000 years to 30 A.D. and what do we get?  2030 A.D.  Could that be the year of the Second Coming and the beginning of the 1000 year Kingdom Age?  Very possibly!  

So, 2030 minus the 7 year Tribulation Period would put the Rapture in 2023, and for scriptural reasons that I won't go into here, the most likely season for the Rapture is the fall of whatever year it occurs in, but still not knowing the precise day and hour as per Scripture.  So, could we see the Rapture this fall?  Very possible!  Actually I really believe that THIS FALL is huge on the timeline based on what I have just gone through!  Remember also in the "parable of the fig tree" in Scripture (Israel is God's fig tree as per Hosea 9:10), the "generation" to see Israel's return as a nation will see all end time events come to pass.   Israel from 70 A.D. (when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Temple) returned finally as a nation again in 1948, and we are now already more than 75 years into these End Times, and there is still the 7 year Tribulation Period after after the Rapture.  So the earliest for the Second Coming after 1948 is 82 years (Israel is already 75 years old plus the 7 year Tribulation).  Does that qualify for a "generation"?  I think so!

Based on all of the above, I believe that we are drawing very close to the Rapture!

P.P.S.  How does one get their ticket to the Rapture and not be on earth for the upcoming terrifying 7 year Tribulation?   Quite simple------ask Jesus (Israel's long rejected Messiah) into your heart to be your Lord and Savior!   I did that in 1979 and it was the very best decision of my life!   And for my Jewish friends, Jesus IS Jewish!   Imagine that!   He is not Protestant nor Catholic!
