Prophecy is about time. If Jesus Christ was crucified between 27 and 33 AD, then the Second Coming of Jesus Christ could occur 2000 years later between 2027 and 2033. Since the length of the Tribulation is seven years, the Tribulation could start between 2020 and 2027. There is evidence that Jesus Christ was born as early as October of 7 BC and the cross was in 27 AD. See
First Coming. The Jewish calendar helps us understand that the Tribulation begins and ends on the 10th of
Tishri, the Day of Atonement (September or October). See
Jewish Calendar and
Tishri. If there are no other calendar errors, the seven year Tribulation window begins about 2019 to 2021. So the next president's terms of 2017-2021 and 2021- 2025 intersects with the beginning of the Tribulation window. I do not know which year but we are that close to the end of this age.
We still have the responsibility to pray for our leaders, to pray for revival in our nation, to participate by voting and encouraging others to vote. We must wake up, watch and work together as the Church until that day comes. Remember, we are living at the end of the End Times.
If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:13-14).
