"2017 is HUGE on the prophetic timeline!"


OK, I will do this in percentage likelihood.   2016------0% since the year is already over.   The next is my personal opinion.   2017------90% and 2018-----10%.   The Rapture definitely needs to be closer to the 2014-15 lunar eclipse tetrad, so the Third Temple construction AFTER the Rapture will be associated with that tetrad.   Think about it.   Let's say that the Rapture is this year (2017), and Third Temple construction gets underway this year.   So, hundreds of years from now people will look back and associate the 2014-15 lunar eclipse tetrad with the 2017 building of the Third Temple.   Hundreds of years from now looking back the two events will be practically on top of one another in time.   The spring of 2018 is the perfect time to dedicate the Third Temple, as it will be Israel's 70th birthday in May of 2018.   As for this year, the two most likely times for the Rapture will be around the spring Jewish feasts or Rosh Hashanah in the fall.   From the parable of the fig tree in the Bible (Israel is God's fig tree-----Hosea 9:10), the "generation" to see the fig tree put forth leaves (Israel's return as a nation) will see all end time events fulfilled.   I always teach that a 13 year old in 1948 (just old enough to remember Israel's birth in 1948 and that is also Bar Mitzvah age) is 82 years old in 2017, and at the earliest 89 years old for the Second Coming (IF the Rapture is this year).   The concept of a "generation" is very simple.   There would be some people alive and old enough to remember the beginning who are still alive for the final events------Rapture, Tribulation Period, and Second Coming.   And we well know what the statistics for survival are after age 89 in one's 90's-----few make it.

So, there you go, the musings of a rodent about these End Times.   I guarantee you that Rabbi Sasso in his spiritual blindness knows absolutely nothing about these things because they are spiritually discerned!   The Rapture will cause a very great amount of fear among those who are left on earth, as no one (initially) will accept the biblical account of what happened, and will generally think aliens had just removed some of the people from earth.   And there will not only be great fear, but a huge amount of confusion.   I have seen dreams and visions that TV and radio will go down at the time of the Rapture, and when they come back up the antichrist will be addressing all the inhabitants of the world to calm them down and assure them that all will be alright.   

Well, at least we do not live in boring times.   If we lived in 1300 AD in Scotland, all we would be doing would be grazing sheep for 70 or 80 years.   Of course, you might like that.

Rochester the Rapture Rodent

P.S.   I am sending this to a few of my "prophecy friends", those who have their tickets to go UP when the time comes.

P.P.S.   Remember the earlier lunar eclipse tetrads (two consecutive years of lunar eclipses on Passover / Tabernacles / Passover / Tabernacles):

     1493 & 1494 just after Columbus came to the New World in 1492.   That would pave the way for Jews to escape persecution in Europe by coming to the America's in the centuries that would follow.
     1949 & 1950 that marked the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.
     1967 & 1968 that marked Israel capturing East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in June of 1967 in the Six Day War.

     Now a lunar eclipse tetrad in 2014-15, and the "big event" has not yet happened------should be the Third Temple!   And the Third Temple cannot be initiated until after the Rapture.   Next lunar eclipse tetrad after 2014-15?   More than 500 years from now!

P.P.P.S.   Don't think that the very rare four lunar eclipses in two consecutive years on Passover / Tabernacles are important?   Then better think again!   Go look up Genesis 1:14, Joel 2:30, and Luke 21:25!

What is the relative strength of the evidence for the Rapture occurring in 2016 versus 2017 versus 2018?  Please assign a numerical value to each year, we we can get a better sense of how Huge the likelihood is this year relative to last year or next year.

1897 World Zionist Conference (Theodore Herzl in Europe) + 120 years (Gen. 6:3 Noah was given 120 years) = 2017
1917 Balfour Declaration by the British allowing Jewish immigration into Palestine + 100 years = 2017
1947 U.N. Mandate to form Israel + 70 years (70 is used many places in the Bible) = 2017
1957 European Common Market was established (beginning of Revived Roman Empire) + 60 years = 2017
1967 Six Day War and Israel captured E. Jerusalem and the Temple Mount + 50 years (jubilee) = 2017
1977 Anwar Sadat of Egypt flew to Israel and the "peace process" began + 40 years (classic biblical generation) = 2017
1987 First Palestinian "Intifadah" (uprising) + 30 years (coming of age----Jesus began his ministry at age 30) = 2017

Is you beginning to get the idea that 2017 is HUGELY important?

The 2014-15 lunar eclipse tetrad still does not have a huge event associated with it------should be the Third Temple.

I think there is a very good chance the Rapture will be this year (with sudden destruction), and after that Third Temple construction will begin-------the newly arrived antichrist will divide the land (Joel 3) to form a Palestinian State, and in trade Israel will start building the Third Temple.   Looking back many years from now the 2014-15 lunar eclipse tetrad and the Third Temple (2017) will appear to be very close in time, and the tetrad will be associated with the Third Temple.   IF the Third Temple can get underway this year, Israel could dedicate it in the spring of 2018 at her 70th birthday!

Please notice above that the 7th year of a decade is VERY important on God's calendar.

I think the New World Order will do something to stop Trump THIS year.   The most likely time for the Rapture / "sudden destruction" would either be spring or fall.   Fall obviously for the Rapture's association with the Feast of Trumpets, but in the "Song of Solomon" the bridegroom comes for his bride in the spring of the year.

So, in conclusion I will vote for the Rapture THIS year!   Despite my vote, now let's see what the Lord does.

P.S.   Take the 1897 World Zionist Conference (in Europe) and add 50 years (jubilee) = 1947 and the U.N. Mandate to form Israel.
         Take the 1897 World Zionist Conference and add 70 years = 1967 and the Six Day War and Israel captured E. Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

P.P.S.   Think numbers are not important to the Lord?   Think again!
