Has anyone noticed the date on the OP?

I'm new here. I saw the post and read the remarks, read the link given, and found common ground.

Nice to meet you, though.

I was attracted by the title. As I said elsewhere, I have had problems with the standard endtimes scenerio for quite awhile, and specifically for the reasons cited in the link the OP gave--which I think is their myspace. I don't find any scriptural fault with the reasoning there. It bears consideration at the very least.

In Christ.

Has anyone noticed the date on the OP?

Yes I did, but that is only because I have gotten caught in the same manner that Elchingen did, so I am mindful to check. *Most* of the time that is For myself, even if I am interested, if the topic is more than a few days old I usually just leave it lay. There are more than enough current topics to keep me busy.

BTW: Welcome to Worthy Elchingen!

No problem! I was just trying to point out that you may not get a reply from the OP.

Welcome To Worthy! Glad to see that you are jumping right in there with the rest of us! Hope to see you in other threads!

Your Brother In Christ,

Good point about expecting a response.

Thank you, and thanks for the welcome.

In Christ.

Kenna--

Anyone can laugh at this "myspace" piece, they they should do so lightly. I think your source is good because it provides scripture verses and historic dates that anyone can check for themselves. Even if the exact translation used is different, at least anyone can check the content.

I have thought the same for many years. When I was a younger man in the 1980's I read some Hal Lindsay, but what I didn't understand then--or now--is why all this prophecy tended to boil down to was "Why the USA needs to build more nuclear weapons".

There are passages in Ezekile that bear referencing, like, I believe 38-39, because they appear to be endtime passages. But even thses must be taken cautiously. It appears to be our time, until you read Ezekiel 38:11, "You will say, "I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people--all of them living without walls and without gates and bars."

Doesn't sound like the Israel we know, does it?

Actually, it is a pretty fitting description of modern Israel. Israel cities are not "walled" in. Besides the "unwalled" refrence is defined by the attitude of the people. They are not hiding behind walls but are moving freely throughout the Land. Nevertheless, Israel is not characterized by numerous walls around its towns.

While I agree there is no mention in the Bible of the Tribulation lasting only 7 years, Kenna is just as steeped in men's/woman's (E. G. White) traditions and teachings as the futurists. Study the scriptures, folks. Do not rely on Hal Lindsey, Ellen White, or an SDA preacher to tell you what the Bible says. I came to the conclusion that the time of the Tribulation is not mentioned in the Bible anywhere through searching the scriptures. Kenna is right on alot of points even though he is wrong on much more, so don't discount him entirely, but ultimately be a studier of God's Word. The Word will never steer us wrong.

Daniel 9:27 gives a few highlights of the 7-year Tribulation period. This verse says, "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate." The person of whom this verse speaks is the person Jesus calls the "abomination that makes desolate" (Matthew 24:15) and is called
