Church visit

Went to a different church yesterday, a friend took us. It was smaller than our own church, but very friendly. I wore my kippa to show solidarity with our people, Israel and felt blessed doing so.
The whole Middle East struggle seems insoluble. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about it, as surely it will lead to Messiah's return and the end opf all things. One thing is sure though, things will get a lot worse before we see the antichrist bring peace, heralding the seven year countdown to Messiah's return to wrap things up. Various scriptures can be interpreted here, but perhaps the most definite is that many feel the return of Messiah will be within one generation of the formation of Israel. If they are right, it will be within 70 years from 1948, so about 2018. The Jews count this as year 5766, so it will be 34 years until 6000, when the age of man will end, and Messiah will reign for 1,000 years, to the year 7,000, when the earth and heavens will be renewed. So look out for 2018, or 2040. I don't think I'll be around for the second date, but I may be around for the first. Like everyone before me, I could be wrong, but the two theories above are the most sesible I've seen so far. Come Yeshua Adonai......quickly!
