The Rapture will NOT happen on May 21, 2011

I mean no harm to my brethren, but I read the material on the rapture thing on May 21, 2011 and it is nothing but a joke and does not adhere to the scriptures and makes the Christian realm look like a bunch of idiots which is not appreciated by me or millions of other brethren.

By the way, the word rapture is not even in the bible. The apostle Paul calls this event “the adoption”.

Here is one of the websites predicting the event:

Seriously, their calculations are all out of whack.

Don’t get me wrong, I know the rapture will happen soon but it will not be happening on May 21, 2011. But I do give them credit for believing that it is going to take place soon, but they should never have put a date on it. When May 22, 2011 comes around, they will be very embarrassed about the things they taught, wandering where and how they messed up.

First of all, their timeline is way off. Their big claim is to believe the bible but then they say,

“They arrived at these dates by adding together the genealogies recorded in Genesis 5 and 11.  However, this timeline doesn’t align with archeological records.”

End of Quote

And they condemn the 7,000 year timeline that God gives in the holy scriptures and start adding in dates of archeological records and come up with a 13,000+ year timeline.

Sorry guys, but I’m not buying it.

23 years for the great tribulation? Yeah right.

The scriptures are quite clear on the 7000 year timeline and not the 13,000+ year timeline they give, which is almost twice as long.

You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.

I, for one, am not fooled by their teachings.

Determining the timeframe for the rapture, the tribulation and the second coming of Christ takes much time, detail and study, but just for this short news story I will save the readers time and just get straight to the point.

God is going to deal with man on this earth for 7,000 years before he creates a new heaven and earth.

Forget dates. There is no calendar on earth made by man that matches God’s calendar. Some might be close, but they are not as accurate as God’s calendar. Example: we use the Gregorian calendar here in the U.S. If the Gregorian calendar was correct the rapture would have taken place back in 1992-1993. So not only is our calendar off, but the rest of the world’s man made calendars are off also.

Forget archeological dates. Once again, they don’t line up with the holy scriptures or with God’s calendar. They are worthless when it comes to dealing accurately with scripture.

Here’s an article that shows how the Lord is going to deal with man for 7,000 years before he creates a new heaven and new earth.

The 7000 Years

Here is the SuperChart that shows the 7000 years in detail matched up with the holy scriptures.

SuperChart

When you go to the chart between the years 5900 and 6000 you will notice the red zone between years 5983 and 5993. This is a 10 year window and we are living somewhere during this 10 year window today as this chart illustrates:

The SuperChart has no dates. It just records the number of years given in the holy scriptures. It is not a calendar.

But to make this story short, these brethren that are using this May 21 date are not taking into consideration of the time of Israel’s Loammi period or when it ends. It is not possible to predict the timing of the rapture if you do not take into consideration of these things.

There is an event that has to take place in order to end Israel’s Loammi period, which will end the dispensation of grace given to the Gentiles, which is when the rapture takes place. This event is a battle that will take place in the northern mountains of Israel, which is recorded in Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39.

Now before I go on I need to explain what Israel’s Loammi period is all about. It is the time when God has hid his face from them and they became “not my people” as it says in Hosea chapter 1. During this time God is giving salvation unto the Gentiles by grace through faith not of works which the apostle Paul calls the dispensation of the grace of God given to the Gentiles as shown in this chart:

When the dispensation of grace is over, the rapture takes place, Israel comes out of being Loammi and they are once again God’s people, which in turn will resume the prophecy of the 70 weeks given by the prophet Daniel. This starts the tribulation period, which lasts only 7 years, not 23 as stated by these other brethren.

So we should not be looking for a date, but rather an event to take place for the rapture to happen and this event is the gathering of these armies listed in Ezekiel 38 that are going to come against Israel, which are as follows:

1. Magog (more than likely is Russia)

2. Persia (Today’s Iran)

3. Ethiopia (Today’s Sudan. Different from the following chart)

4. Libya

5. Gomer and Togarmah (Today’s Turkey)

These countries will come against Israel in the northern mountains of Israel and the Lord will defeat these armies there for the nation of Israel as shown in these charts:

On the day of this battle is when Israel will come out of their Loammi period and they will become God’s people once again. In Ezekiel 39 it says,

”22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.”

From this day forward, Israel will be God’s people once again and he will never hide his face from them again. This will resume the prophecy of the 70 weeks with the beginning of the 70^th week. The dispensation of grace given to the Gentiles will be over and the rapture will take place.

Now here is the really short version in a nutshell of why the rapture will not take place on May 21, 2011. These countries that will come against Israel includes the country of Libya. Libya is in no condition right at this moment to make war against Israel. They are in the middle of trying to get Muammar Gaddafi out of power.

So Libya will not be going to war against Israel on May 21, 2011, therefore the prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39 will not be fulfilled at this time, therefore Israel’s time of Loammi will not be over, therefore the dispensation of grace will not be ending, therefore the rapture will not take place on May 21, 2011.

You can take this info to the bank. The rapture WILL NOT happen May 21, 2011.

At the time of this writing, May 15, 2011, the so-called rapture event on the 21^st of May is less than a week away, which will be this coming Saturday.

I guarantee you that all the Christians of the world will be on the earth next Sunday on the 22^nd.

Their prediction is just a tad too early, plus their timeline and calculations are all out of whack.

Now something has to happen in order for these nations to come against Israel. At this moment I have two guesses that could bring this event about:

1. Israel could attack Iran because of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

2. A new flotilla is being arranged for the end of this June to try to break the Gaza blockade as what happened last year. It could be a bloodbath.

As of right now, either one of these events could trigger the alliance against Israel to gather to battle Israel in the northern mountains of Israel thus fulfilling the prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39 which will indicate the rapture is about to take place.

Of course, there could always be something else that might pop up to trigger the event. Time will tell.

So if you are looking for the rapture to take place, look for this event that will happen to Israel soon. Don’t look for dates for you will be disappointed as many Christians will be disappointed this Saturday, May 21, 2011.
