I don't know about any of you, but here in my area of California (the land of fruits, nuts and flakes) has been abuzz with prayerful hopes that Jesus would return before the last day of September!

Even on my ministry blog and page, I have had hundreds from all across America and around the world caught up in this lastest false hope of His eminent return! I countered those friends and people who wrote me with the Scripture that "No man should know nneither the time or the day of His return" but it was not well received!

So I sat it out, and thought that time will prove to them that this was one more hoax, that only the passing of September would prove!

So, have any of you heard this talk, or seen this link, and others?

I've heard this same kind of bunk too.

I wonder if this notion comes from the same bunch of loonies who predicted that the rapture would occur:

1) In 1981. Simple math PROVES that this is the year of the rapture: You take 1948[The year that modern-day Israel was created] + 40 40 [The length of a biblical generation, i.e., Matt. 24:34, "This generation shall not pass...."] = 1988 - 7 [The 7-Year tribulation period] = 1981 !!!

2) In 1988. For those who hold to a Post-Tribulation view (See #1 above to see how one gets to the year 1988.). Remember the publication 88 Reasons Why Jesus Will Return In 1988?

3) In 1989. Since Jesus didn't come back in 1988, we forgot to add the number of months in the Hebrew calendar where their 360 days per year calculation fell short of the number of days that it actually took our planet earth to orbit around the sun.

When one adds the number of years where the lunar-based Hebrew calendar had to put in a "leap month"--which took place every 7 years--from A.D. 33, the year in which Jesus ascended back to heaven (See Acts 1:9), to 1988, one some how arrives at 1989; thus it'll be 1989 when "[Jesus] shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven" (Acts 1:11).

4) In 2000. Remember all the false hoopla 15 years ago when "The mother of all computer-controlled networks will fail--Y2K"?

5) In 2015. This is the year in which the full cycle of "Blood Moons" will occur--which happened on September 27 of 2015....Only 4 days after this year's Yom Kippur ("The Day of Atonement") celebration occurred, and, ironically, is the exact number of days that Lazarus was in his tomb before Jesus brought him back to life as is recorded in John 11.

And these are just a few examples of "date setting"--something that Jesus denounced in Matthew 25:13.

The Word of God tells us to be ready at all times for the Second Coming to take place. What exactly "being ready" means, I'm not that well-versed in all the prophetic implications as to what that might involve.

Maybe it just means "Be Ready."

Who wouldn't want Christ to return this day?

But God who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son.

Stop looking at the moon, lunatics.

My buddies and I have been joking about these "prophecies" concerning the blood moons. It's amazing to me how people will follow someone who makes a prophecy, and when it doesn't happen, will follow them when they say, "Well, I forgot to figure in...". You don't have to figure if you're a prophet. There's no math. You just say what God tells you to say.

God didn't tell Jonah, "Yet x days and Ninevah will fall; where x is the cube root of 1000 multiplied by 4".
