The grace in your answer is humbling. The thief on the cross is a perfect example of the Grace of God. I'm rethinking my position. Thank you for the care you have taken with my question.

Thanks Randy

No. I'm fairly new at this and trying to figure it out. Revelation 9:13-15 is corroborating Acts 17:31. I believe the second coming is at the final battle of Armageddon, just before the 1000 year reign. Rev19:11-16 So let me open myself up here. I believe the day of the rapture is completely the Father's business. "No one knows but the Father. I thought Lee might have the actual date of the second coming of Christ. Which would be 7years later. And in my most Simplist of ideas subtract 7 years for an approximate on the rapture. Pretty out there of me I know but rev.310 gets "out in the weeds sometimes as well" that's why I took a shot at it. No disrespect intended.

That is the Simplist most gracious explanation of such a powerful verse (Heb6:6) often used in a very disturbing ways. Weather intended or not, this was the main takeaway from this article! I did my best to share this with a small group of believers. It was well received. Thanks for your good work -Mark
