Is it possible to know when Christ shall return?

[masta100]

According to a brother name Minoru Chen, He claims that we can know the year of the 2nd coming. Not the day or hour, but the year?

Is that true? Does anyone have some insights to this?

Once you know when the Tribulation starts with the start of the 7 year peace treaty, the construction of the Temple in progress and the Antichrist revealed, you can almost count down the days to the return of Christ in Person to step down on the mount of olives and should know the day Jesus returns within a period I suspect of 3 months-like a season-if you are discerning the book of the Revelation closely enough.

But first rapture will come in unexpectedly even to most of the elect. He comes in like a thief to steal the best so you can't know more than the season, that is the general trend of things. If you take the word "season" literally then since a season is 3 months, you can find lots of false prophets who may be suggesting you can know the year. That's the lie. That's the grab. More Antichrist wannabes are going to be pushing for this.

First rapture is according to readiness, so are you getting ready, deeply led by the Holy Spirit and reading the Bible most days? You can only most be assured if you are not you probably won't "overcometh" because you won't have that relationship with His Word through the word of God. Man is very forgetful and can lose his intuitive sense very quickly.

If you want to be more accurate than almost everyone, read Watchman Nee's, "Come, Lord Jesus," "Aids to Revelation," and "King and the Kingdom of Heaven." If you don't believe in partial rapture, you are going to get fooled some way or another. Read the Rapture Proof (http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/Partial_rapture.htm).
