Speculation concerning Return of the Lord
The above link goes to a writer who places the beginning of the 7 year Antichrist reign as 2025---hence placing 2032 as the return of the Lord described in Revelation. Personally I have always referred to this rule of thumb: Christ said : 'Perfectum est...' on the cross. The latest date for Easter is April 13, 33AD. It has been given to me to understand that when Christ said "It is finished..." he was referring to the political world (Rome) intersecting with the religious world (Judaism) in the cross. It is finished refers to the totality of the world rule conquered by Christ---his mission accomplished, the world's reign is over.
This means that we are living in the Resurrection era or 'age'. This age is also the age of the Holy Spirit. Christ tells us that this age will end and gives certain signs, though no one knows the hour. Perhaps it is a neat 2 days (equals 2000 years as St. Peter says a day is as a thousand years)...this gives us a weekend (2 days like the resurrection itself) with the return of the Lord at 2033 right around April 13 (but you also have to factor the 10 days that Pope Gregory subtracted back in the day to get his calendar right). So this accords with the writer's link above. I guess it is simpler to begin with Christ's "it is finished" rather than his nativity (and there again some Catholic scholars have placed the nativity at 6-4 BC) hence shortening our predictions by at least four years!

The nativity; scholars like Rahner tell us, cannot be determined with any accuracy from the New Testament, however the crucifixion and resurrection biblical nature imagery READS like Springtime---consider the Garden of Gethsemane description, etc., etc. in the Gospels.
So 2029, or 2027 April 3rd (recovering the ten Gregorian days.) Factoring in the earlier nativity, adding two millennial days from the moment Jesus Christ declared that "it was finished".
The conclusion of the world that Jesus declares may seem to many readers premature, I mean what are we doing? Isn't today a part of history?
But you must understand that the world is a temporal as well as a geopolitical term 'saecula' means world as well as age. (It is the term you find on the back of the dollar bill NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM) Age translates it as does 'world order'---world order in Jesus teachings has to do with Satan, Prince of the Air. Satan was conquered on the Cross AND WHEN JESUS SAID IT IS FINISHED IT MEANS THIS WORLD ORDER IS CONQUERED.
That's why I said we are living in the Resurrection Age! It is obvious to any astute political historian that "There is nothing new under the sun." The Powers that BE are essentially unchanging throughout human history---they lie, they seek power and wealth and they murder. The political realm= Rome, the religious realm =Israel, and there is also Babylon which may be the US and especially New York City which is a woman who sells immorality globally and commands global military power, especially on the sea (like America's older sibling Britain). So you see that Rome continues through London and New (London) York. America links to Babylon via Iraq and Baghdad, the Euphrates, and the towers fall within one literal hour!! (Of course, it took several weeks to prepare those towers for demolition with nanothermite sprayed to all levels of the core and the carefully orchestrated digitally timed explosions which brought both buildings down in an hour). Could the center of command have been WTC7? I don't know. This devastation has all the markings of a diabolical plot and those who accomplished it were led in the conception and execution by powerfully dark angelic forces. The intelligence of destruction itself staggers the mere human intellect, certainly not some covert cavedwelling, Saudi playboy, no matter how charismatic with his little Afghani training camps. It was the executed by the apex of military intelligence, requiring cybernetic infrastructure, and as I said the harmonic orchestration of global political players each playing their part: the hijackers played a part, the US intelligence and defense played a part, UK, the Masad, etc., etc... Hard to fathom...and yet these are the facts.
Be that as it may, Thank God for St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians where he tells us that our battle is not against earthly powers, flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities dark evil in high places. I know that it requires a stretch of the imagination to interpret prophecy---one must think 'polyvalently'---it rancors the overly rational types! Evenso, one must not give up the effort to THINK THINGS THROUGH so as to come up with a good UNDERSTANDING. The official 9/11 report is widely acknowledged to be wrong on almost every piece of evidence concerning 9/11. Was there a cover-up? And how can I ever know? Well, I am reassured that my enemy is the Prince of the Air and not so much the pawns who rule the world with their little cabals, and private clubs. They think they hold all the cards but know not whom they serve. Money, power, ambition, global intelligence these are of Satan. Whoever plays in that game is playing in Satan's airshow. And they go on lying just like their father, and murdering. I thank God through Jesus Christ that I have been brought to know the Father--we find him in little things, streams and rivulets, baby groundhog---simple loving ways, peace and joy---HAllelujah! Our contemporary situation in America and everywhere else on this sorry planet is that we have been too long at the fair. They said "we piped and you were supposed to DANCE!" THe phoniness of almost every cultural artifact smacks of vanity so deep as the ocean. None of it reflects Christ's teachings. The whole world system was invented by foolish, vain, and pawns of men. You call them kings and heroes, lords and saviors. But there is ONLY ONE TRULY NOBLE MAN. And he wrapped up the show a couple of days ago and hell be returning, and every eye shall see Him, and this will be in my lifetime.
