Larryb, seven times in that chapter of Revelation it mentions 1000 years. Do you take that literally? I will assume you don't.. but for what reason?
If you do take it literally, then the time that the thousand years began could only be the reformation, which means we have about 500 more years until Christ returns. EDIT: I am addressing Larryb's reformed amillennial theology. I do not believe Christ will come in 500 years, but much much sooner. |

Wow, this one really took off on a tangent, LOL. However, it's good reading nonetheless.

I think it is a sad state of affairs when most Christians believe the history channel, discovery channel and the public education system when they teach evolution. Kent Hovind was instrumental in getting me out of that thought pattern.
The problem is: If one believes that the earth has been here for billions of years, then we have to make the bible fit this false science. This is the number one thing destroying faith in word of God in my opinion and will lead to many......uhh... distorted views of what is so plainly given to us in scripture as fact. Remember that I am one of those weirdos. I believe the bible literally unless instructed by the word to do so differently. 6 days of creation = 6000 years 1 day of rest = 1000 years mill. reign. God likes the number seven a lot! God seems to be very interested in numbers as well. I started seeing all kinds of things when I started paying attention to numbers. I don't think God is trying to make it that hard for his creation to understand what he wants us to know. There are some nuggets of wisdom and knowledge in his word that he reveals to us when we study though. Brother-Smith |

Well I have come to the conclusion that 2011 is a good time based on some calculations. but I am not a prophet or a son of a prophet. I based it on a prophecy of Jesus Christ and came up with 2011 as well.
Another man shared with me why he believes it will be 2011 that is because there was 400 years of silence between old and new testaments. and the KJV Bible will be 400 years old in 2011. What reason does he give for his belief it will be in 2011? |

I know you folks aren't preaching a date, but there is no profit in speculating about dates for the return of the Lord.
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.I believe in the imminent return of Christ, but Christ's return was imminent even when Paul was penning Scripture (1Th 4:15). We are told to "watch" and "be ready." That should be enough. |
