If 2018 is it,then.
Israel as nation has 70 weeks to get in the truth that Jesus is their Messiah,so Israel as a nation in 2018 will be in the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.
Israel is blinded in part,until salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles,and so all Israel shall be saved,and salvation is still available to the Gentiles,so Israel is still blinded in part,and will the Gentiles be cut off from salvation,and Israel as a nation accept Jesus in 2018.
But God is giving the world 7 years to have their way and cause all people that do not love Him to follow a kingdom that acknowledges no personal God,and when they follow that kingdom then He can end this sin business on earth,and bring Israel to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah,so it appears as if 2018 is not the year.
The man of sin still has to establish peace in the Middle East,which will pave the way for all Jews to go to Israel,and none of the Jews will be left in the nations,and the Jews and the Gentiles will be separated,which is what God wants so He can work with Israel as a nation and bring them to the truth.
The Gentile nations will come together and say Peace and safety as they try to establish peace on earth,and will operate by a ten horn kingdom,the world split in to ten sections with a leader in each section,and a unified religious system based on spiritual evolution through nature,and all other beliefs not tolerated,and will operate for three and one half years.
The ten horn kingdom will fail at obtaining peace for the world,in which the world turns to the man of sin,New Age Christ,and when they follow him then repentance,and salvation,is no longer available to the Gentiles,and the fulness of the Gentiles will be come in.
Then God will turn Israel to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah for three and one half years,and then the world will attack Jerusalem,the Jews.
I do not think all of that will happen in 2018,lol.
There is still over 7 years before the world attacks Israel,and when the nations come together and say Peace and safety that will start the 7 years period,and will start when the man of sin establishes peace in the Middle East,and the Jews rebuild their temple with no hassle from the Palestinians,and split Jerusalem with the Palestinians.
Also the religion of Islam will clash with the world during the first three and one half years of the 7 years period,which that war will be so terrible that a third of the population of the world dies,that the world turns to the man of sin as the solution to have peace on earth.
Also they will stop the preaching of the Gospel on a world wide level,and Islam,and Judaism,and any other belief not compatible with evolution,and people can still evolve.
I do not think 2018 is the year Jerusalem is attacked.
And Harold Camping appeared to do the same thing with the end of the world by a formula he came up with in years that made sense to him based on the time of the flood,as he thought he had a mathematical formula linking the time of the flood with what he thought would be a date for the time of the end of the world.
I do not worry about numerology but go by what the Bible says will occur,and what shall happen on earth,which lets me know that Jerusalem will not be attacked in 2018,for it is over 7 years away before they are attacked.
If we go by prophesy then we know this cannot happen unless that happens,and 2018 is not the year,for too many things have to take place before they are attacked,and too many years have to go by before they are attacked.
When the Gentile nations come together as one and agree to cooperate to achieve peace on earth,then it is a little over 7 years away before the world attacks Israel,and the Jews,because God brought them to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah,and the world goes against everybody that keeps the commandments of God,and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Also Israel is protected for the 7 years period from physical attack(Revelation 12).
But we know that it is close for the world can communicate with each other,and travel to each other,and there is United Nations,and organizations that are trying to get the religions to harmonize with each other,and the new age movement that will pave the way to the kingdom the world will accept.
Do not be like Harold Camping,and others like him that are concerned with trying to figure out things by numerology,and a mathematical formula of your own making,and let prophesy of the Bible tell you when things will occur.
