There are teachings that predict the Rapture to happen latest by 2021 and the Second Coming of Christ latest by 2028. Kindly refer to the graphic below which I found on Twitter.
Those who believe this base it on Psalm 90 whereby they interpret Israel as being the one who has 70-80 years.
“The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.” (Psalms 90:10 WEB)
If you count 1948 as the rebirth of Israel as a nation, then 1948 + 70 = 2018 and 1948 + 80 = 2028 which is how they arrive at that date range of 2018-2028.
Israel is likened to a fig tree in the following verse:
“I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.” (Hosea 9:10 WEB)
The rebirth of the nation of Israel (being clothed with leaves again) set the 80 year prophetic time clock in motion and we could very well be in the generation where the Rapture will happen.
““Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near. Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.” (Matthew 24:32-34 WEB)
So Rapture in 2021 and Second Coming of Christ in 2028?
This is plausible because this theory doesn’t pinpoint a day nor hour of the Second Coming which would be a direct contradiction of Jesus’ words.
“But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” (Matthew 24:36 WEB)
We can’t know the exact day or hour, but by His parable of the fig tree, we can know the approximate season for it.
Be led by the Holy Spirit in you to use discernment and let Him bear witness to what is the truth.
Whatever it is, we look forward to your return, Lord Jesus!! 🙌🙏
If this is the last year for the church of Jesus Christ to win souls for the Kingdom before the great departure, then how should we live?
Firstly, we ought to awaken to our callings and gifts so that we can serve effectively the way we were individually graced to.
Just because the Rapture may happen this year doesn’t mean we be idle. Still work in your respective fields, and do so all the more excellently as unto the Lord. His grace is more than enough for you. Shine brightly for Him wherever you have been planted.
There are precious eternal rewards to be won, so awake to your righteousness in Christ and begin walking closely with the Holy Spirit this year. This may be the final hour: http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever
