Seven Year Rapture Window

Jesus Christ was born ~7-1 BC and died ~27-33 AD, then ~2027-2033 could be the Second Coming. Subtract seven years and we are in a possible seven year rapture window (2019-2026) as God prepares the world for the seven years of Tribulation. Since we are at the end of the Church Age, watch Israel, China, the European Union, Russia and Iran prepare for the Tribulation. Most importantly, be awake and watch for Jesus to grab His people out of danger. See 7000 Years, Rapture.

Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed (Romans 13:11).

Revelation can be understood through a proper study of Scripture. The millennium theory tells us we are near the end of the Church Age. Since we are so close to the Tribulation, are there any prophesies that have been fulfilled already? What do we see in the world preparing for the Tribulation?

Prophecy begins with time. God created the earth in six days and rested the seventh day. The Millennial day theory states that creation is the pattern for God's time. Humanity rules six thousand years and then Jesus Christ rules a thousand years. Bible chronology gives details that follow this millennial day timeline from Genesis to Revelation.

In six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it (Exodus 20:11).

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

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 (2 Peter 3:8).

The genealogy from Adam to the flood is 1656 AM or years from creation (Genesis 5:1-32). Add 292 years to Abraham's birth or 1948 AM (Genesis 11:10-32). Abraham was 75 when God made a covenant (Genesis 12:1-2, 4). There are 430 years from the Abrahamic covenant to Mt. Sinai (Exodus 12:41, Galatians 3:17). This includes ~120 years the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt. The Exodus is 2453 AM. Add 40 years in the wilderness and 5 years conquering the land. There are 480 years from Joshua as judge to Solomon's 4th year (1 Kings 6:1). Samson, Eli, Samuel, Saul and Philistines overlap. The first temple was built by Solomon in 2978 AM and lasted 410 years through the kings of Judah. In 3388 AM or 586 BC, the temple was destroyed by Babylon (2 Kings 25:8-9). Add 586 and 2021 then subtract 1. No year zero between BC and AD. Trumpets in September (1st of Tishri) is about 5994 AM. That is a good estimate from creation. There is a reason we are seeing so much prophecy fulfilled.

Calendars do not match God's time. The Jewish year 5781 is off by ~216 years. Add 5 years for Abraham (Genesis 12:4), 40 years in the wilderness (Numbers 14:34) and 5 years of conquest (Joshua 14:10). Jews give 490 years between destruction of the first and second temples (Daniel 9:24) but 586 BC to 70 AD is 656 years. Add 166 missing years for Persian and Greek rule of Judea. The Roman year is off by ~25 years. Most scholars believe Jesus was born ~7-1 BC. We are in the 21st century but not in the millennial reign of Christ. God's calendar counts from the cross and not Christ's birth. Allow a 7 year margin of error for possible calendar issues. See Jewish Chronology, Bible Chronology.
