“What a Difference a Year Can Make in Prophecy…” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©02-21-2022

I wrote an earlier Op-Ed about the possibility that the Rapture or ‘Calling Away” of Christian believers happening in 2021 due to certain world events happening and even timelines expressed through certain Biblical scriptures, but I also wrote that I wasn’t saying it was definitely going to happen now yet still wanted both Christians and non-Christians to be aware, consider the possibility, and search their hearts BEFORE it does. The Rapture didn’t happen, and I posted the next Op-Ed to explain that it still COULD happen at ANY time due to the remaining requisite being the last human soul to be saved by Grace through Faith in the Blood Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for that person’s sins that we EACH are born having through the lineage we ALL have by Adam and Eve since the birth of Creation by God Almighty the Creator.

My own Ancestry searching has led me to not only search out the lineage lines of my parents backwards that has led me all the way back to the farthest ancestor being in 498 B.C. in the Seleucid Empire. That historical searching led me to finding out through articles and documents that reminded me that when we went from B.C. (now referred to as BCE for ‘before common era’ to remove the ‘Before Christ’) to A.D. (now referred to as CE for ‘common era’ to remove the other that was for the Latin phrase meaning ‘the year of our Lord’ that education no longer wants to acknowledge) that it wasn’t begun at zero but at one. This might not seem important to most people in this world, but when it comes to prophecies that are EXACT as to WHEN certain things would happen to prove is was from the God of Creation, so IT IS IMPORTANT!

While I also agree with the ministers who say not to place an absolute date for the Rapture happening since the Bible actually warns against listening to those in the ‘Last Days’ of the Grace Dispensation that we are presently still in during 2022, I also agree with the writings of many who point out that we should still know the TIME before that WILL happen. I came across a writer who pointed out a one year difference because of a B.C. to A.D. calendar change. If that discrepancy is the only difference then when the Jewish writer claimed that 2028 would be the year their Messiah would return if eighty years a generation marker the Jewish Torah uses; yet one year needs added to make it 2029. This Israel perspective for their ‘Messiah’ is in line for Christians who also believe in Jesus Christ, but there is more to it too now.

As a Christian who has studied eschatology for the past thirty years and also believes that the Christian Rapture happens BEFORE the 7-year Great Tribulation period prophesied in Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation begins then 2029 is the possible time for the return of Jesus Christ landing on Mount Olivet as stated in the Holy Bible but AFTER the Great Tribulation. If any Jew now believes in Jesus Christ as Messiah and Savior then that person is considered as a Messianic Jew who will ALSO be taken to safety in the Christian Rapture BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. For generational calculation to be precise then it is possible that instead of 2021 in the article I read that precipitated my other Op-Ed, and mentioned in my other Op-Ed about 2021 not happening, then the 1 year added for B.C. to A.D could point to 2022.

While I agree that Jesus Christ returning to Israel could happen as the Israel writer stated, he didn’t mention the Rapture, so I’m going to calculate it according to the Christian belief about the Rapture timing known as ‘Pre-Trib’. 2022 plus 7 equals 2029, so that WOULD be the exact year that would line up with the generational calculation of 1948 plus 80 to equal 2028 plus 1 year missed at the B.C. to A.D. change to equal the end of the Tribulation to be 2029 and when Jesus Christ would return to stop the anti-Christ and reclaim the world and His Jerusalem to fulfill all final prophecies in Israel’s Jewish Torah and the Christian Bible related to Israel specifically when the Word is properly discerned as which Scripture is meant for Israel, which Scripture is meant for Christians, and which Scripture is meant for the entire world even now.

There is another aspect that is needed to be pointed out – people are now living longer than 80 years, and the one Scripture says the generation who saw Israel become a nation in 1948 would not pass before the coming of the Lord. My mother will turn 91 this April and SAW Israel become a nation. Anyone alive before 1948 is probably considered THAT generation. There are many people in the United States and around the world who are over 100 years old right now. The calculated possibility of 2022 could still happen, but the reality that the Christian church hasn’t seemed to have any real substantial revival to reach the last souls to be saved during the Grace Dispensation Period now as prophesied to happen BEFORE the Rapture does, but revival hasn’t yet. Christians need to REACH OUT TO ALL WE CAN NOW!

I suggest that every single person, whether Christian or not, read the “Defenders of the Realms” novels by Nathan D. Thomas on Amazon. I’m currently reading Book 3 after the first two that I have reviewed as 5-Star for both, and these novels have really uplifted my heart since the loss of my Book Artist and my Record Producer in 2021. It also has helped me to focus again on my ‘Rebirth of Eirinth” Book 3 – SEEKING THE LIGHT, and my music too. We ALL need to get focused on our given gifts to reach out to those that we are the ones to be witnesses of Christ in these Last Days to that might end sooner than we thought or be lengthened if we fail to see where we need to be to do what God Almighty has called each of us to do wherever in the world we are. Whether America, Israel, or Ukraine, WE NEED A REVIVAL!

All of the different aspects that relate to the Christian Revival, Rapture, or Return mean that we each must study to show ourselves approved as Paul told Timothy in the Christian Bible. We each need to be able to give account to WHY we believe WHAT we believe. That means that we can’t take the words of one person or group to be the end-all-be-all of prophecy or Faith. I’m not claiming to know it all about everything. I’m simply putting out some possibilities for ALL to consider while getting ready for a possible Revival we should be trying to support AND begin. The pandemic has halted ALL church activity, and we have lost so many to the point our sorrows cloud the JOY we have in our hearts for the real Salvation in the Blood of Jesus Christ, and the entire world NEEDS IT! WE MUST RESTORE OUT FIRST LOVE!

Is it possible that 2049 is the time Jesus Christ will return WITHOUT the Rapture or the Great Tribulation? The Scriptures give specific prophecies that must occur BEFORE the Rapture can take place, and worse perilous times could happen to shake the church out of its current COMA it seems to be stuck in, but one prophecy doesn’t negate another, so the generation who saw Israel become a nation will not pass away before the Lord Returns is another deciding factor too. Is it possible that the Great Tribulation won’t happen? The Great Tribulation is spoken of happening with certainty in the Jewish Torah and the Holy Bible to the point I’m still surprised there are some who claim to be Christ believers who still don’t believe it will. I understand the question of ‘when’ whether ‘Pre’ or ‘Mid’ but Post or Not at all seem impossible.

I’m a Pre-Trib believer due to the fact the Holy Spirit revives a believer’s spirit to belong to God Almighty again. That very breath of God filling Adam once he was made was that same connection he lost due to sin, but through Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ then the Holy Spirit connects us again in a way that might be an even stronger link that doesn’t allow the ‘man of perdition’ known as the anti-Christ spoken of in the Jewish Torah and the Christian Bible to take power until Christians are removed – being raised from the dead and those still alive all ‘changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye’ to meet Jesus Christ in the air and be taken to safety BEFORE the Great Tribulation will begin. Some think the Rapture won’t happen until ‘Mid-Trib’ – 3-1/2 years into the 7-Year Great Tribulation – but I question that possibility.

While there could be reasons why a Mid-Trib would happen, I don’t see Scriptures that support it, especially with 21 judgements being rained down on humanity that Christian believers aren’t listed as having to go through. Not even the Covid-19 pandemic reached the percentages listed in Revelation about how many die with each separate seal, trumpet, or vial judgments as specified. There haven’t been any in history that fulfills a single one even if some in the Post or Not at all group claims it already happened. While some accounts in History might not give the full specifics for certain chaotic situations NUMBERS DON’T LIE. No historical book verifies any of these judgements happening already. The Jewish Torah was the FIRST publication to proclaim the reality that science missed for a very long time – the Earth is round!

I’m not claiming to know WHEN Jesus Christ will return in the clouds, change Christians of all nations, and join Him to get to safety. I’m simply pointing out that with the way certain countries are at this time in 2022 I’m trying to get Christians to WAKE UP! Our Redemption could be drawing nigh soon OR we might all be stuck here for a while longer until we start BEING THE REAL CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST! I don’t want to see this country become more like the ones that don’t allow the freedoms the Unites States of America allowed pre-pandemic. Things are growing dire for even being able to assemble, so we might be forced to have a revival in a different way that doesn’t include being in the same room anymore. While we have communications to do it now, what happens if the government cuts all of the power?

I don’t want to live under a dictator regime. I want my Constitutional Democratic Republic to be restored. While I know things will happen with prophecies that MUST occur, I still want to try to have our FREE COUNTRY for as long as we can until things can’t be maintained any longer. I didn’t think we would be at this point quite this soon, but when final pieces of the prophecy puzzle are placed then there will be NOTHING that can delay or stop the final event. I still see that piece as the last person to accept Jesus Christ as Savior, and then Gabriel will sound the trumpet, Jesus Christ will appear in the air, and ALL CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS AROUND THE WORLD will be transformed with flying shoes and meet Him for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the Third Heaven to wait for time to pass until we return to reclaim Earth!

I know it’s been since the original Word of God Almighty was given to the people of Israel, and the Christian church began when Jesus Christ came to die for EVERY PERSON’S SINS whether Jew or Gentile, so some might say this is nothing but a fairy tale or religious myth, but I have news for you 02/21/2021 – JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN AND ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIS FORGIVENESS WILL BE SAVED AND RESCUED! Will there be doubters? Yes. Will there be signs that deny any of what I’m typing right now? Yes. Will it mean that any of it could blind you from finding Salvation and safety in time? Yes. That is WHY I put up the information on my Christian website to give you the help if you miss the Rapture. It won’t be easy, and you might still die, but at least READ IT: https://www.tribulationhelp.com
