"Very very close to the second coming" again.

Clown?
OK I can do that.
Greg gave you the standard view.
There are alternative views, not taught:

Counting 7 biblical years from the covenant the antichrist made on my birthday in '08 to CHANGE the nation and the world- we end up the day of my anniversary date at work (Israel date time begins the evening prior) next year- the evening of Sept 22 2015-
Day of Atonement Sept.23, for the 2nd Coming.

OR, with the Rapture happening this Christmas- with the same date of Sept 22/23 Jewish time, there are just under 280 days (human gestation period) from the Rapt to the Second Coming on that date next year.

Jesus said how hard it would be for pregnant women during the time of Testing- He did NOT say it would be hard for children, leaving me to consider that there will not be any on earth during that time after the Rapture and any woman getting pregnant during the Trib. would not likely deliver until it is over.

OR, the 1260 days duration of the Great Tribulation begins at the Rapture and lasts until the time frame of fifty years past the 6 day War with the declaration to rebuild Jerusalem (unto Messiah)-
the 120th Jubilee and a single Jubilee past that war.

My personal Clown view is we are IN the Trib right now.
The antichrist can't make his big move until we are out of here.
