THE APPOINTED DAY PART 5

 FIFTH PART: The failed predictions of the rapture.

The human being has always had a great interest in knowing the future. Hence the fortune tellers and magicians have a lot of work. And when Jesus promised that he would return, they began to make predictions. Here are some examples throughout these two thousand years.

1) Year 100 the disciples thought that according to the Words of Jesus in the gospels, that the end of the times and his second coming would occur during the generation of his disciples. But they did not understand that the Jesus referring to "this generation" was referring to the last generation.

 "Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass until all this happens." (Matthew 24:34)

And also referring to John about the revelation and visions that he would see from the Apocalypse.

"Truly I tell you, there are some of those who are here, who will not taste death, until they have seen the Son of Man coming into his kingdom." (Matthew16: 28)

2) In the year 365 Hilary de Poiteirs This French saint announced that the end was going to happen that year who said that Emperor Constantine II was the antichrist.

3) Year 500 three renowned clergymen predicted that Jesus Christ would return on Passover of year 500. One of the predictions was based on the dimensions of Noah's ark. Hippolytus of Rome (235), Irenaeus (202) and Sixth July (240)

4) In the year 992 several Christians observed that Good Friday coincided with the date of the Annunciation of Mary, and the rumor spread that on a coincident day like this the Antichrist would be born, and therefore the End of the world would happen before all three years.

5) January 1 of the year 1000 Pope Sylvester II for being 1000 years after the birth of Christ.

6) Various Christians After the failure of January 1, 1000, the millennial theologians proposed that the end of the world would not occur a thousand years after the birth of Jesus Christ, but a thousand years after his death (which they believed to have happened in the A.D. 33), Good Friday (anniversary of the death of Jesus Christ). After the failure of Friday, Easter Sunday (anniversary of the resurrection of Jesus Christ) was expected.

7) Joaquín de Fiore predicted that the Millennium would begin in the year 1260. He died in the year 1202.

8) Mystics of the 15th century had come to the conclusion that the end of the world would happen in 1496, which would be exactly 1500 years from the birth of Jesus Christ.

9) In the year 1666 the paranoia of the number of the beast and the great fire of London made many think that this would be the year of the end of the world.

10) The Shaker Quakers prophesied that Jesus Christ would return (bringing about the end of the world) some day in 1792. He would come as a thief, without anyone being able to foresee it.

11) William Miller predicted that Christ would return between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844. Later he corrected his prediction, claiming miscalculations about the Scriptures; the new date was exactly October 22, 1844. The verification that the predictions were incorrect generated the Great Disappointment. Miller's theology originated the Adventist religion. The Baha'i belief that Christ returned in 1844 with the advent of the Báb.

12) Adventist pastor Jonas Wendell based on Miller's calculations recalculated for the year 1868 and then recalculated for the second time 1872.

13) The founder of the Mormon church claimed that the second coming of Christ would take place in the year 1891.

14) In 1914 Jehovah's Witnesses awaited the arrival of Christ and the end of the “times of the Gentiles”. After the failure, they considered that in reality parousía meant only the invisible "presence" of Christ.

15) By April 29, 1987 Leland Jensen predicted that Halley's Comet would pass so close to the earth that for a year pieces of the comet would cover the earth and finally, in 1987, crash into the planet.

16) Pastor John Hinkle, of the Church of Christ in Los Angeles, predicted that Jesus Christ would descend in the city of Los Angeles on June 9, 1984.

17) Harold Camping predicted the abduction for September 6, 1994. Then for May 21, 2011. Then for October 21, 2011.

All these predictions have in common that they failed to ignore the words of Jesus. But today an unprecedented phenomenon is taking place. Prophets, ministers, pastors and young people, even children have had dreams and visions about it in this event, especially in the last 6 months. Forecasts for October 5, November 17, December 3-9-16-23-31 and even January 1-11-20-24 and September 23, 2017. Using various data from the capture of Jerusalem by the Islam until the United Nations order of November 29, 1947 to return the promised land to Israel and create the state of Israel.

In addition to all this panorama, there are other mitigating factors of significant value or not:

1) Year in the Hebrew calendar 5777. Year of Jubilee. Although now we are about to start the year 5781.

2) Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) is known as the Second Michell of Nostradamus due to the familiarity of his prophecies. One of Edgar Cayce's prophecies that has everyone in suspense because of its accuracy is about the 44th of the United States, who warned he would be black and the last leader of the United States. For all there is no doubt that it is Barack Hussein Obama II since he is black and 44, half fulfilling the prophecy. Why would he be the last president? According to Cayce, with "Obama" would start nuclear chaos, since he will be the one who pulls the trigger of World War III. It should be remembered that Nostradamus pointed out that in 2016 he would start a war that would last 27 years. Before the inauguration of Donald Trump the president number 45 this has been rejected. More conspirators think that Obama will return and take power by force in 2020 or 2021 to fulfill Edgar Cayce's prophecy.

3) Archbishop Saint Malachy (1094-1148) prophesied 112 popes. The last would be called Pedro II.

Francis is Pope 112.
