Revelation 20:6 |
| Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a t Revelation 20:1 | ¶ | And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. | Revelation 20:2 |
| And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, | Revelation 20:3 |
| And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. | Revelation 20:4 | ¶ | And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. | Revelation 20:5 |
| But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection. | Revelation 20:6 |
| Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection |

There are many people who have tried to set dates to determine when Jesus is going to come back. Remember, no one knows the day or the hour when Jesus is going to come back.
Here are some foolish gainsayers who have tried to predict his coming:
- 1792 - Shakers calculated this date.
- 1970s - Chuck Smith (Calvary Chapel) predicts Jesus will return by 1981.
- 1989 - Publication of The final shout: Rapture report 1989, by Edgar Whisenant. More predictions by this author appeared for 1992, 1995, and other years.
- Posters placed in public locations around the New England area in 1992
1992 - Korean group "Mission for the Coming Days" predicted October 28, 1992 as the date for the rapture. - 1993 - Seven years before the year 2000. The rapture would have to start to allow for seven years of the Tribulation before the Return in 2000. Multiple predictions.
- 1994 - Pastor John Hinkle of Christ Church in Los Angeles predicted June 9, 1994. Radio evangelist Harold Camping predicted September 27 1994
- 1997 - Stan Johnson of the Prophecy Club predicted September 12, 1997.
- 1998 - Marilyn Agee, in The End of the Age, predicted May 31, 1998.
- 2000 - Many "millennial" predictions.
- 2006 - Many predictions for June 06, or 06/06/06.
- 2007
- 2011 - Yet another prediction for November 11, 2011 (11/11/11). (note: this date is said to be more significant than 12/12/12 because of the fact that the number eleven is made up of two ones. Therefore making six ones appear in a date.)
- 2017 - Michael Rood has picked 2010 as the beginning of the final seven years culminating in the return of Jesus in 2017.
Jesus Loves You and So Do I!
Love, Theresa
