6 Years Left Until the Second Coming of Yeshuah in 2026

So, He had to read Revelation to learn this ? So John knew before Christ ?

The book of Revelation is the revelation of Yeshuah to the entire earth through John. After Yeshuah ascended to heaven, which is when he sat at the right hand of God and given authority to open the 7 seals of Revelation, then he was given the information that is now found in the book of Revelation. Understand.

Actually no, the Chinese have their version of the flood story, as do many other ancient civilizations. Look it up.

I know they do, don't need to look it up. It is said to have lasted longer than 40 days and 40 nights. It allegedly lasted about 2 generations. Folks were not destroyed in mass, they were displaced and they had to move to higher ground, which says it was not a global flood as in the Noah story. It was during the time of the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor ended the flood too with a dragon and a tortoise.

I will give you this, the dates of the myths are close, with about a 100 to 200 year difference. However Chinese archeology places a great flood of the yellow river slightly sooner than either myth and still not global

It involves excess water and it was allegedly about 4000 years ago, but that where the similarities end. There was no genocidal destruction of humanity, there was no flooding of the entire world, there were no animals lined up 2 by 2 and there was no break in Chinese society Any reference to the destruction of humanity in the Chinese myth is a much later addition to the myth that seems to appear around the 6th century. So even if there was a flood, the bible and the Chinese flood myth do not seem to agree.

Respectful question - How many participating in this thread in the Christian DIR are Christians?

This really made me think because if Yeshuah is the WORD and promise of God manifested into flesh, then why would he not know exactly everything that God knows.....But at the same time, Yeshuah was a vessel (a temple) and when he was here, he was a vessel of flesh which might be why his knowledge was probably limited...Aaand when you think about "vessels," we can only pour out whatever is in that vessel right?! Until the vessel is filled again.... But vessels can only hold but so much at one time too.....

Anyways, I found this to be very interesting and enlightening. However, I still don't believe anyone really knows when Yeshuah will return. Even if Yeshuah did or does in fact know when he will return (or when the world as we know it will end), when he revealed the prophecies in the book of revelation to John, Yeshuah still only gave hints, clues, and signs to look out for with everything being very mysterious and symbolic. He still did not tell us plainly. As always with his "chosen ones," God a lot of the time wants his "chosen ones" to seek him and thirst for his knowledge and guidance. I believe this is why he talks so mysteriously sometimes and in parables. After all why would we seek him, if we had all the answers?....In terms of scripture (or the WORD of God), I believe God or Yeshuah only gives us what we absolutely need and the rest is for us to figure out.....So yeah Yeshuah gave us the signs, hints, clues, warnings but not the exact date (or year). The answer to that mystery (one of many), is reserved for God only.
But thank God we know what to look out for.

I'm def a follower of Yeshuah Christ!
And I'm not gonna lie with everything that's happening in the world right now, it seems as though Yeshuah might just be returning sooner rather than later.
