Hosea ch.6 v1-3 a thought.

[daygo]

Someone probably has thought this as well, but I wonder if we could discuss this passage esp. v 2 where hosea talks about Israel coming back to the lord in the end times.
Now v2 after two days he will revive us, on the third day he will raise us up. Now the thought is if a thousand years are like a day two being two thousand, christ was crucified and ascended roughly about a.d 32 plus two thousand makes 2032, less 7 makes 2025, so does that give an indication of the rapture being anytime between now and 2025.
What do others think without giving dates, think of the above.

Jesus said this generation shall not pass until these things are fulfilled (Matthew 24). Israel became a country instantaneously in 1948. If you add the average lifespan of a generation, it would seem to fall within the same timeframe, in my opinion.

Yes, I do believe it is a valid thought.

Dr. Reagan says some things about this, I believe, in his article (which I have posted before, I think), here:

"The Jewish Calendar: What year is it, and does it really matter?" - Dr. David Reagan

Articles - The Jews - Life - The Jewish Calendar

One thing, though. The way you have it figured uses the 365-day calendar year, whereas, whenever there are time-prophecies concerning Israel, they are always figured in 360-day (biblical/prophetic) years (the 1948 and 1967 time-prophecies, as well as the tribulation period itself [7yrs of 360 days = 2520 days], for example). So what you have shown in your figures above, for example, really represents about 2029.17 biblical/prophetic years (of 360-day years)... way more than the 2000 you/we are looking for. (Someone check my math on that, I'm tired. )

However, if you figure it in the appropriate 360-day biblical/prophetic years (from 32AD), you arrive at the fact that there have now (currently/this year) been 2008.875 biblical/prophetic years (of 360-day years). Much closer to the 2000 years we are looking for, when considering this idea as a possibility. (And is supposedly the same approximate amount of years that were between: Adam and Abraham, [and] Abraham and Jesus... Jesus and [current time period]. Makes you at least go )

Yes, I do believe we are now very, very close (just past, in fact) the "two days" ("after" which, Israel will be "revived"... Hosea 5:15-Hosea 6:1-3)

I think we have a time pattern but I honestly I would avoid any form of date setting....it is dangerous,forbidden and brings a lot of shame when those dates come and go and we are still here...
I tend to think that because The Rapture it is an IMMINENT event,meaning impending at any time and also related to the fullness of the NUMBER of the bride ( number known ONLY to the Lord),it means any time now......but we do not know when is that "now" and we have no way to find out...so we just wait......it could be ....NOW! I wish....sigh...

I agree with you except that we know that god is specific regarding Israel, eg. being daniel, he worked out how long and then started praying for his nation, so why not going from this scripture which is about Israel that we cannot at least get some idea in a general sense the time line. I would never date set but use the analogy if you were expecting someone to arrive you know its imminant but you would look out for them even try to work out the times they could be arriving by the clues they leave eg. what they said or did or know about them personally, if you know what I mean.

Very well said!

And some of Israel's precise time-prophecies have indeed been fulfilled in our day (that is, the past century... and within this Church age). I am convinced that our Lord does not desire for His Body to be totally clueless (out of all believers of all the various ages, whom He DID/HAS told "when He would come"... Not talkin' about the "day" or "hour" here, mind you... but I believe He wants us to be aware, and "aware" BASED ON HIS WORD).



(Daniel 8:19, 11:27, 11:35 "the end shall be at the time appointed [mow'ed]"<---which means a specific thing, in relation to Israel [not our rapture]... and [just to add] no, it is not talking about Rosh Hashanah, in case someone is "reading that into" my words)
