That's why it's pointless to attempt discussing this with you.
If you interpret Hosea 6 that says Jesus will return after 2 days as being 2,000 years who set the date? Hosea gave the prophecy I made an interpretation. It is impossible to interpret that verse without a possible date being associated with it.
When Jesus said this generation shall in no wise pass away until all these things be fulfilled, again there are many plausible and Biblical ways to interpret that which result in a date being set. Not by me but by Jesus.
I am not setting dates, I am interpreting scripture.
Daniel 9:27 tells us to look for an event that will mark the start of the 70th week. I have interpreted that event to have taken place on October 2, 2024. By definition that sets a date, but I didn't set the date, Daniel's prophecy did.
Joel tells us what takes place to alert us that the day of the Lord is at hand. I have interpreted that event to have taken place from 2020 to 2021, as a result I interpret the Feast of Trumpets in 2021 to be very prophetic. You can argue that this interpretation sets a date, but I didn't set the date, Joel's prophecy did. All I did was interpret current events and His prophecy.
Jeremiah tells us that summer is over, the winter is past and we are not saved. I interpret that as being a reference to those left behind after the rapture. That in turn gives you the season. It does not tell you the year, and I was not the one who said the season, Jeremiah did. All I did was interpret his word. Granted I can be wrong with my interpretation, many if not all Bible expositors have been wrong in the past. especially about eschatology. But I did not set a date, I interpreted scripture.
Based on Jonah I conclude that Jesus was crucified in 31 AD and that the 40 days of warning to Nineveh can be seen in 40 years of warning to Jerusalem. I also apply this to the nations and say from 70 AD to Armageddon will be 40 jubiless or 1,961 years. I am not setting a year, Jonah's prophecy sets the year, I simply am interpreting the scripture.
If you want to claim my interpretation is wrong, fine, provide a better interpretation. Saying my interpretation is wrong is one thing, that is your opinion, saying I am setting dates is not your opinion, it is simply false.
Now if this was 1700 or 1800 or even 1900 I can understand being averse to interpreting these scriptures. What is the point of telling people they will be long dead before the Lord returns. So I get why that would be forbidden. But that would have no bearing if we are in Jacob's trouble or in the seventieth week. People need to know now. Holding on to that rule is stupid once you get to the tribulation.
