Glad to pitch my tent by this oasis where the spiritually thirsty can drink and the hungry be fed. I have just celebrated my 75th birthday but am as hungry for the word as ever especially in the realm of Eschatology seeing we are living in the end of the end times. Just started to read a book titled "The keys of Time" by Derek Walker that was gifted to me last week. I think the author appears quite regularly on Revelation TV and is an authority on prophecy. The gist of the book is that God is working to a predetermined plan that was shown in type in the Genesis account of creation, namely that His purpose is to fulfill that plan in six days [a day being as a thousand years in His sight] Not the first time I have heard this viewpoint but -counting from the death and resurrection of Christ- rather than His birth; those six days could well culminate around 2033 which is about 2000 years from His death. THAT'S NOT TO JUMP ON THE BAND WAGON OF DATE SETTING - too prudent to fall into that trap but judging by the chaotic state of things world wide, it seems to me the stage is fast taking shape for the appearance of the character Paul speaks of in 2Thess 2. If one does not already exist perhaps this could form the springboard for a thread which searches the scriptures for truths yet to be revealed by the Holy Spirit -after all- like the Bereans we must search the book of books so as not to be guilty like the Pharisees were who Jesus upbraided for not being able to discern the times. In Christ, In God, In Hope. HEBRON.
