Been thinking a lot today about this being Israel's 70th birthday year (since rebirth in 1948). Also came across Jeremiah 29:10 this morning and it got me thinking even more about "70 years" in terms of God's interaction with israel.
Jeremiah 29:10-14 New International Version (NIV)
10 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place.11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
I know that's not dealing with the tribulation, end times etc. But I still found it interesting that God chose 70 years for Israel's captivity in Babylon before he intervened and 'brought them back' from exile. Is it coincidence NOW, that Israel's 70th birthday was this year from 1948 rebirth? Coincidence that the Rev 12 sign appeared 1 year prior to this historic birthday for Israel, almost as a warning 'sign' as we've discussed? Coincidence that the longest lunar eclipse this century was seen 2 days ago over Jerusalem and the middle east/east? Coincidence that the historic solar eclipse occurred over the largest gentile nation (the U.S.) last year as well as the rev 12 sign, 1 yr before the 70th bday?? Coincidence that the U.S officially relocated the U.S. embassy toJjerusalem after all these years of talk?
That's a LOT of "coincidence".......Guys, I can't say with certainty as we've been watching events for YEARS now and these things seem to have a way of waxing and waning but i find myself wondering IF THIS COULD REALLY BE THE YEAR??? whether it happens on Feast of Trumpets, Shimini Azeret , or some "seemingly insignificant" day.....COULD THIS FINALLY BE THE YEAR OF WHAT WE"VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR SO LONG???
If it is NOT the year, I can't help but wonder if the Rev 12 "sign" was what we perceived it as then? I mean, how much of a "sign' could it be if it was pointing to a rapture still 5 years to 20 years away?? and if it was NOT a sign, the fact it so closely matched the description in Scipture is a walloping "coincidence" as well!
Could the Draconid meteor shower coming in October from that comet 21P be the other part of Rev 12 ? (the "and another great sign appeared in heaven" part) which pictures the "1/3 of stars being thrown to earth".......(see the video steve sent couple of weeks ago about that).
It's all so exciting.....yet I find myself also somewhat cautious as i've had my hopes up and dashed too many times to count.
Excited to watch with you guys though as i know you understand these feelings.
