SCOFFERS! TONIGHT AT SUNSET, May 20th, 2011-- IS THE 17th DAY OF IYAR, THE SECOND MONTH...

Proof that tonight is the 17 of IYAR...

[link to www.chabad.org]

ah...you know the exact date when the "flood" occurred?....

This is based on the assumption that the flood actually did happen and it happened on that day. Which there really is no proof other than a written word, which could be wrong.

for including the Chabod link.

Do you think that the seven day warning could be the comet that Nostradamus and Mother Shipton predicted would be visible for a week?

Thanks for the BS flag ELSABLADES.. at least you read the post... and maybe you'll join us in the spiritual Ark... its going to be fabulous, incredible, wonderful and lots of fun.

Sunset tonight, May 20, 2011...the 17 IYAR, the second month---- the doors of the ark might close...

Don't miss the party boat...

Did you factor in leap year? just asking...

***crickets***

I think Harold Camping is wrong...
But I wouldn't mind one bit if he were right...

Maranatha! (Return, Lord Jesus!)

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark......


.....And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

17And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

No--- I'm working off the Hebrew calendar..which says that today at sunset is the the 17 day of Iyar.. the same day that Noah was shut into the ark and the doors closed 7,000 years ago. Perhaps leap years will make a difference... I am not saying that Camping is right.. I personally believe that the physical events of the bible are a spiritual parable for us today...

Let's party hearty (after we get right with Him..of course)

I thought about the possibility of being raptured tomorrow... and I would be happy if God were to honor my belief in Him..

I still don't think anything will happen tomorrow, but I have repented nonetheless... and have kept my lamp oiled.. and not hidden.

God promised Noah that He would never “destroy” ALL “flesh” again. This covenant is valid for “PERPETUAL generations,” and the rainbow, which was shown to Noah as a sign, will be near God’s throne during the events of Revelation, thereby signifying that God will NOT forget His promise. (Gen. 9:11-17) (Rev. 4:3). Some people say that God only promised never to destroy the world again with water; that His promise did not include other means such as fire. But, that would have been deceptive on God’s part. Obviously God could destroy the world any number of ways, so adding this kind of (unspoken) condition to the promise that He made to Noah would have made His promise essentially meaningless. The fact is, God made a solemn covenant with Noah never to destroy the world again, and this is precisely how Noah understood it. Therefore, it is certain that God never will destroy the earth again.

Another question is, did Camping take into account the change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar?

Yes, Butterfly... you're right about the Rainbow Covenant--- That's why I don't follow Harold Camping.. but ...the 17th of IYAR date (the day God closed the doors of the Ark) is useful for me as a believer because it does signify that God will close the doors to the spiritual Ark at some point.. and that we do need to be ready... For that, I can thank Harold Camping.. even though I don't believe that the end of the world begins tonight..

The Vatican/Pope and the vast majority of Christians have nothing to do with this. Camping and his followers are the ones who are out there saying this stuff about May 21st.

Isn't it a little late to be playing catch-up?

we not allowed to be smart

we are sheeple

It is May 2 on the New Jerusalem calendar.

I think there's probably some debate about these dates and their reckoning.

Nobody can even decide exactly when Christ was born, so how can we have a link from the flood until today?

Silly premise, IMO.

Thread needs a smiley to summarize...

Hmmm...

I think this will do:

Its not too late until the fat lady sings... and the laborer who starts work at the end of the day gets the SAME wage as the guy who started at the beginning of the day...

...I know it doesn't seem fair.. but...God is willing to take people into the Ark until the last second before he closes the doors.. I don't know when He's going to close the door..and neither does Harold Camping.

.. but we do know that God closed the door of the Ark on the 17th day of the second month of the Hebrew calendar---- 7000 years ago tonight, which is the 17 day of Iyar.

I'm hoping someone can debunk the 7,000 years by using the Julian or Hebrew calendar calculators..!

this is my personal problem with Camping's numbers as well. The date of the flood is highly debated. Also, if all of our calendars are off how could he ever arrive to this date even IF the flood was, well, whenever he said it was?

AND
****To ALL CHRISTIANS*** We are supposed to be watching the events in Israel. You know, real signs, which is worth paying attention to right now because things are heating up BIG right now. Forget the numbers please. No one has ever got them right and they can't.

OP, not sure this answers your question - but I took this from the wikipedia article on the Gregorian calendar:

In addition to the change in the mean length of the calendar year from 365.25 days (365 days 6 hours) to 365.2425 days (365 days 5 hours 49 minutes 12 seconds), a reduction of 10 minutes 48 seconds per year, the Gregorian calendar reform also dealt with the past accumulated difference between these lengths. Between AD 325 (when the Roman Catholic Church thought the First Council of Nicaea had fixed the vernal equinox on 21 March), and the time of Pope Gregory's bull in 1582, the vernal equinox had moved backward in the calendar, until it was occurring on about 11 March, 10 days earlier. The Gregorian calendar therefore began by skipping 10 calendar days, to restore March 21 as the date of the vernal equinox.

Like your post, freaks me out a bit unlike the date setting fanatics. Cycles are cool. I wonder does this affect Christians (Muslims? other religions?) or just the Jewish people using your method???

So.. I guess the question is if we reduce (or even increase) each year by roughly 11 minutes as per the bolded formula above, how much time is that over 7,000 years-- if my math is correct its about 53 days...so it still might mean that the 17th day of the month of Iyar of the year 2011 (tonight and tomorrow according to Chabad House) is 7,000 years from the year 4990... if you catch my drift..the date is still 7,000 years from the original date of the closing of the doors of the Ark.. which by the way, was Noah's 600th birthday..

Sorry, go back and read it. Says very plainly won't be destroyed by FLOOD again. Fail. And to further try to guide you into truth and out of harm from your misguided understandings, Malachi 4:1 (Old Testament)says, For, behold the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. And read these words of 2 Peter, Chapter 3:1-15(New Testament), 1)This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2)That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3)Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4)And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were frome the beginning of creation. 5)For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God teh heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6)Whereby the world that then was, BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER, PERISHED: 7)But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men. 8)But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9)The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE. 10)But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, AND THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT, the earth also and the works that are therein SHALL BE BURNED UP. 11)Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12)Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens BEING ON FIRE SHALL BE DISSOLVED, AND THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT? 13)Nevertheless we, according to his promis, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14)Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15)And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

Good question... as a believer in Yahshua ... i think this date is significant because it symbolizes that God does indeed have end dates for people's repentence... dates when its not possible to repent or seek Him anymore..... dates when He loses patience with the bullshit here on earth... lol...

... also I think that Jews in the old testament are PHYSICAL symbols of the spiritual in the New Testament.. so in todays terms, the Ark is a symbol of God's spiritual shelter we must seek here on earth.. before He "closes the ark doors."

As a believer in Yahshua's divinity, I must give you the bad news: the bad news is that anyone of the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Atheist or Satanic faiths who has heard the gospel and not believed in Yahshua's power to redeem ... will not be included in the spiritual Ark.. The good new is that the Ark is open to those who want to be completely cleansed by Yahshua, so they are acceptable to God.

At some point, though, when an appointed number of souls is reached, God is going to shut the Ark doors..

I don't know if it is tonight or not...but He did shut the doors 7,000 years ago tonight according to the Hebrew Calendar.

Listen people! Please get this. Whether Camping is wrong or right about May 21, 2011, is not nearly as relevant as the fact that a Judgment Day is coming and is 2000 years closer than when Peter wrote about it. OP brings a very nice observation. But here is the main point, if you get finished reading this, then THAT TIME hasn't come yet. There is still time for you. The Lord is holding back that time for you, if you haven't repented of your evil ways and surrendered to Him and asked Him to save you. So, do it now, before it IS too late, please.

Well said...I agree! See you on the "Party Boat", whenever that day comes!

MARANANTHA!
