RE: Will The End of The Age Be In 2020?
I'm 60 years old. If I had a penny for every inaccurate chronology that I've seen in my lifetime I'd be rich man today.
The End of the Age couldn't possibly be in 2019 or 2020 because the 7 year Great Tribulation period hasn't started yet. It won't start until the world ruler signs a 7 year peace treaty with Israel.
The pre-tribulation rapture of the church will come first. I believe that before the rapture the Ezekiel 38 and 39 prophecies must be fulfilled first.
Thanks for your reply @barncat. I never know if I am going to get a response on these Steemit Posts. It's good to know I have a brother in the Lord who is watching and waiting for His return.
The question of where we place the 7 year tribulation in the millennial ages is an interesting one. It can't fall into the church age because the church age ends when we are raptured. It can't just slot in between the church age and the millennium because then nothing adds up. The whole millennial week is 7000 years not 7007 years. So it has to fit into the millennial age. I found scripture to back this up too: Revelation 12:9-10
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. - Revelation 12:9-10 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation12:9-10&version=AKJV
What those verses tell us is that when Satan loses the war in heaven and is kicked out of heaven and down to the earth, that is the start of the millennial or kingdom age. Jesus has already begun to reign in v5 which is the rapture. You are probably also aware that we have already passed v1 which was the birth sign in the heavens on September 23 2017.
If you scroll through my Blog you will find I went into more detail on that in previous Posts.
But hey, the end times and our understanding of them is a work in progress. I'm just happy that I'm saved by the blood of the Lamb and will go up in the pre trib rapture, whenever that actually happens. I was hoping for Pentecost this year but when nothing happened yesterday I wrote this Post because I then became open to the possibility of a 2020 rapture on Ascension Day.
