Q

Thank you so much for answering these questions! I always enjoy your perspective. I know your good with numbers and dates, I have another “date/calendar” question.

Our calendar is different from the Hebrew calendar. Does God have a preference? And speaking of dates. Do you see any significance in the date 7/7/7 coming up on our calendar, next Saturday. It falls on Saturday, the 7th day.

A

There’s pretty good evidence that God prefers the calendar he created, the Hebrew one, over ours. And while the 7th of July has a lot of 7’s in it, there’s no indication that anything special will happen. Besides, on His calendar it’s 21 Tammuz, 5767. We’ll just wait and see.

I see predictions of the rapture just about every day in my eMail. Someone’s sure to pick up on this one. But the Lord said, “You won’t know the day or the hour.” So chances are it won’t happen on an obvious day.
