There are many strange prophetic interpretations floating among Seventh-day Adventist circles today. Last Sabbath at the Bangkok Chinese SDA Church, there was a pastor from Australia with a new twist. But can he show us from the Bible how he got the idea to divide 1260 by 6 and then add that to 1798 to arrive at 2008? And does grasping at 1888+120=2008 seem a bit far-fetched to anyone else besides myself? But if he or anyone can show from inspired words that this is truth, then i am happy and willing to follow all truth.\u00a0 Many times tho, i’ve seen people come up with crazy “timing” prophecies which cause an excitement for a while, but when the time is passed and nothing has happened, the people’s hearts become harder than stones.<\/font><\/p>\n

There were people promoting the “Jubilee Cycles” among us Seventh-day Adventists in the late 1980s-early 1990s.\u00a0 What they showed looked pretty good.\u00a0 It is true that the Jubilee cycle was very important to Jewish society and to their relationship with God.\u00a0 They calculated that the year 1994 would be the end of the Grand Jubilee of Jubilees if i remember right, and some people got really worked up about it and left the church and sold their stuff and bot land way out in the country etc. etc.\u00a0 It is very hard, if not impossible, for\u00a0those people ever to come back to the truth, and they put a big stain on ALL prophecy study.<\/p>\n

Satan has led many since just right after the October 22, 1844 disappointment to point to some day or year as something special happening, only to disappoint people, and make them that much more resistant to any kind of prophecy studying.\u00a0 That’s what i see happening – after the false interpretations fail, it makes it much more difficult to wake people up to study prophecy at all.\u00a0 I believe that there is a LOT more in Daniel and Revelation that is still future, but it is very difficult to study with anyone, as most of us believe the “safe” way is to just believe what Uriah Smith wrote over 100 years ago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I heard that there was a “prophet” among the Hmong people.\u00a0 He said many wonderful things, seemingly all in line with the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy.\u00a0 He even wrote about things he could not have known about, in an intelligent way.\u00a0 But then he said that 2006 would bring a huge shift in the oceans that would cover half of Thailand etc.\u00a0 Several hundred people were at meetings he held near the end of 2006.\u00a0 But now, almost everyone from that group is gone.\u00a0 So sad.\u00a0 And so unnecessary if we were really studying the prophecies.<\/p>\n

What the Australian pastor (Steve) said about pastors in Australia doubting him because he has got everything done in the past in Europe was interesting.\u00a0 Those pastors from other churches are correct in my opinion.\u00a0 If nearly all the terrible threatenings in Revelation are just for Europe 1000 years ago, then i don’t need to take what God says in that book very seriously.<\/p>\n

Here is some information about the Jewish calendar.\u00a0 I’ve found several sites on the internet, and this place describes how they calculate some things:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.webexhibits.org<\/wbr>\/calendars\/calendar-jewish.html<\/a><\/p>\n

“In the year C.E. 2006 we shall witness the start of Hebrew year AM 5767.”<\/p>\n

This would mean 2008 is 5769 in their calendar.<\/p>\n
