Most of us here believe we are living in the end days I would think. So with that in mind I came across some interesting info. Please understand that I am not setting dates or endorsing someone elses info. I just thought the way this was presented was very interesting

He predicted that back in 1760. 350 yrs ago. Interesting no!
My own personal view is Luke 21/32 That the generation which sees these things spoken of in Luke 21 happening will not pass from the earth till all is fullfilled. One of the things he spoke of in that passage was the restoration of Jerusalem. Again I'm not setting dates just speaking in generalities

Here's what I think. That people live today 90-100 yrs so if Jerusalem was restored in 1967 and if a generation lives today 90-100 yrs then that means the end has to ocour before 2067 or so. That's about 60 yrs away. So God has lots of time to work with. And if I/we have missed something somewhere thats OK too. God does not have to do things on our timetable.

Please understand again I am not setting dates. I just found it interesting that a theologian /scientist 350 yrs ago came up with the same generation we did. And he did it without any geopolitical facts at his disposal (like the restoration of Jerusalem)!
