HOW LONG?

Xan is correct, I don't know if I said "Psalm" Sunday anywhere unless it was a typo.

Palm Sunday is when Christians celebrate the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Gospel accounts of the Triumphal Entry are found in Matthew 21:1-11, Luke 19:28-44, and Mark 11:1-11, when Jesus fulfilled Zechariah 9:9:

The length of a Biblical generation is 40 years, coming from the account of the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years before coming into the promised land.  Because of their rebellious nature, God wished to completely wipe out the generation that was redeemed from Egypt before entering.

I feel that II Peter 3:8 and Psalm 90:4 will factor in to the coming of the Lord somehow:

"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." II Peter 3:8

"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." Psalm 90:4

One plausible application might be the 1000 years referred to in Revelation 20.

Hello I am new here, and I love to study prophecy and how secular events could be fulfilling end time prophecy. I have read several of your post, on when you think the last 7 years will begin. And was glad to see the excitement of fellow brothers and sisters discussing what our near future holds. This is my belief on how it will all begin.

Very interesting, Maranatha.  But where did you get your information that the Jews were called to their homeland in 1917?  And what did you mean by that?

Xan,

Maranatha is referring to the Balfour Doctrine created by England after they liberated the land of Israel.  The doctrine was created in 1917.

With much agape love,

George

Thank you George

Yes I was refering to the Balfour Declaration. I should have mentioned that in my post. Hope George has cleared up any confusion that I may have caused. Peace, but not yet.

In my bible it says generation could also have been translated as age or nation and this greatly confused me because of how important the mention of a generation is in the timing of the tribultaion. Could someone clear this up for me?
