Why we are on double overtime ... the rapture

[Lewis HB]

I have been waiting for Jesus to come for fifty years. Back then,
no one knew how long a generation was going to be. Or even when the
final generation was going to start.
The world war one generation thought the Jews return to Israel
about 1880 began the final generation. After that failed, some thought
the 1898 Zionist meeting in Geneva meant the second coming would be in
1940, and many fundamental Bible people thought Hitler was the AC !!!
It wasn't until recently we discovered that Ezekiel 4:4-6 and Leviticus 26:27/28 put
the beginning of the final generation as 1948; 2520 Jewish years after Babylon. But even then we had no
idea how long that generation would be.
Remembering the book "88 reasons for 1988" ... but 40 years came and went.
Then 70 years and then 80 years((2nd coming in 2028))((psalm 90:10; Matthew 24)) have come and
gone because we believe in a pre trib rapture > So, we are five
years into double overtime already!!!
We do know that ""it's close"" but that's all we can know for sure.
So we stay faithful.
I'm likely near the end of my life. I'm already 78, & I hope Jesus
comes soon. If not, I know in whom I have believed, and look forward
to that glorious meeting in the heavens.

News flash, they have been predicting the apocalypse and second coming ever since Jesus's ascension into heaven!

Christ is coming soon! This goes without saying but time is relative and also pretty much a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of eternity.

I am still premillennial in my thinking and see the end-time scenario only becoming more and more clear as the years pass by. We are to live as if Jesus's appearing is imminent (which it is) but are to "Occupy till he comes" and to faithfully "Run the race that is set before us" and to walk worthy of the vocation wherein we are called.
