Final Note on My Study and Conviction Regarding the End Times
These findings are based solely on my personal study, research, and convictions. Over the years, I have carefully examined historical, biblical, and contemporary events, seeking to draw conclusions that align with the Word of God and the observable signs of the times. The following are the key conclusions I have reached regarding the timeframe of humanity’s existence, the rapture, and the events leading to the Great Tribulation.
The 7,000-Year Timeframe of Humanity:
Through my study of biblical chronology, I firmly believe that humanity’s timeline is structured within a 7,000-year framework. This period begins with Adam and culminates with the millennial reign of Christ, which I believe will occur around AD 2032 or 2033. This 7,000-year timeframe is reflected in the pattern of creation, with six days of work followed by one day of rest, which many scholars and theologians interpret as a type for the entire span of human history.
The Rapture in the Fall of 2025:
I am convinced that the rapture, the event when believers will be caught up to meet Christ in the air, will occur in the year 2025. While I am not claiming that this is a definitive date, I believe that the convergence of current world events, the fulfillment of biblical prophecies, the intertwined and correlation of the Messianic prophetic significance embedded in each feast, Moedim, (Appointed Times of Leviticus 23) and the overall progression of human history points to this as the likely time for the rapture to take place.
Signs of the Times:
I do not set dates in the same way that some may speculate about exact moments for the end of the world, as our Lord Jesus cautioned us against doing. However, I do believe that it is important to observe the general patterns and signs in the world. The Bible speaks of signs in the heavens, wars and rumors of wars, lawlessness, and other indicators that would mark the approach of the end times.
Some of these signs include:
- Global Conflicts: The rise of wars and tensions between nations, as well as the general atmosphere of unrest, is clear indications of the “wars and rumors of wars” mentioned in Matthew 24.
- Climate and Environmental Changes: Increasing natural disasters and unusual weather patterns serve as a modern fulfillment of biblical warnings about the earth groaning in the last days (Romans 8:22).
- Astronomical Phenomena: Unusual developments in the sky, like blood moons, eclipses, and other celestial events, echo prophecies about signs in the heavens in the last days.
- Geo-political Shifts: Rapid changes in global leadership and alliances reflect the political and military upheavals that Scripture anticipates will precede Christ’s return.
- Moral and Societal Decay: The breakdown of law, morality, and social order in many parts of the world is a clear sign of the lawlessness predicted for the end times (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
- The Threshold of the Great Tribulation:
I believe we are standing at the threshold of the realization of the first Fall’s moedim (appointed times), which will usher in the Great Tribulation. This period, often referred to as a time of unparalleled suffering and turmoil, will be the final testing of the earth before Christ’s return to establish His Kingdom.
Though it is difficult to predict every specific detail, the general trajectory of world events strongly suggests that we are nearing the start of these final prophetic milestones. It is not just a matter of isolated events, but the overall convergence.
Conclusion:
In summary, I am not setting a specific date for the rapture or the end of the world, as only God knows the day and hour. However, I firmly believe that, based on my personal research, the observations of current events, and the teachings of Scripture, we are standing at the precipice of a monumental shift in history. The year 2025 stands out to me as a key moment, but ultimately, I trust that God will unfold His plans in His perfect timing.
May we all continue to watch, pray, and prepare for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, keeping our hearts aligned with His will, and living in the light of His coming.
