<There will definately be two groups when He comes. Those who love and those who hate.
> Do you believe in prophecy at all? I mean written prophesy like in the bible or I guess any prophecy at all?<<I believe in prophecy from God to both modern and ancient prophets.
>>Do you think other prophecies will be fulfilled this year?
<<<Of course. The OT Book of Isaiah says the prophesies will be recognized at the time they take place. That's how it is with all prophecy. You cannot predict when, but as soon as it happens you know, at least those who read their scriptures would.
>>Why do you not think the return will take place this year?
<<Because
People of my version of Christianity believe:
Israel has not "almost" been defeated.
The temple in Jerusalem has not been built.
The Lost 10 Tribes have not returned via the hiway built over the north.
2 prophets have not been killed, their bodies left on the streets for 3 days, and their resurrection shown on the news.
American Natives have not fulfilled their destiny,
Christianity has not yet been taken to the whole earth.
The stars haven't fallen from heaven,
the water hasn't turned to blood.That's a few off the top of my head.
When we see these events take place, even though it will be hard to get through, it is a time to rejoice and be glad.

> What would convince you that He was returning this year?<<<If I saw Him return.
>>>How would your life be different if you believed that? That's what I ask myself.
<<<We should live every day as though He will come. That's how we prepare.
I would guess 2020, because that is perfect vision. No other reason. I calculated it one time and came up with 2024. It is fun to guess, and an exciting time we live in.
