I came across a document someone posted online and which is also on the Latter Rain group, where an extensive study was done by an individual showing how he has calculated that Christ will return at 11:41 a.m. Jerusalem time on May 21, 2011.
I'm starting a discussion on this here in an effort to educate ourselves, Lord willing, so that others may not blindly follow a teaching. These are done in an effort to fulfill the language of the Lion roaring 2 years before the earthquake (Amos 1:1). The belief is that somehow God is now revealing the exact hour 2 years (2009 to 2011) before what others see as a great earthquake to take place on May 21, 2011.
As bereans, we shouldn't hesitate to look into any information as long as we are careful to make sure it comes from the Bible. I'm not sure how far this teaching will get and how it might affect the lives of others, but here we want to look to see if it's something to even be concerned about. Another reason to look at this is to see whether or not the literal understanding of "2 years before the earthquake" has any Biblical validity. Lord willing, this may encourage others to look into the spiritual rather than the literal.
Here is the link to that study:

You're welcome to comment on it. But I spent a little bit of time looking at this and I will try to outline a couple of weaknesses I found thus far and raise some questions to the author of that study.
First of all I'd like to remind everyone of the letter that was sent to Mr. Camping where questions are raised on the substance placed on May and October 21, 2011. The link to this letter can be found here:

Now, in looking an exact hour being 11:41 am... here are some of my observations:
Path #1:
445 BC (Nehemiah rebuilds the walls - picturing completion of salvation)
7 AD (Christ, 12 years old explains scriptures to doctors - revelation)
______
452-1 = 451 = 11 x 41 (11= coming of Christ, 41 = revelation)
My question: How can we take a 11 x 41 and make it into 11:41 (hour)?
Path #2:
6741 BC (Enoch raptured)
623 BC (Josiah finds the book of the law)
____
6119 (inclusive) = 29 x 211 (29=proclamation , 211 the end (2011))
My question: How can we take 211 and make it 2011? Don't see Biblical validation for it.
Path #3
33 AD (Crucifixion)
2011 (May 21)
722,500
2 (two days prior to the passover feast of the cross)
722,502 (2x3x3x11x41x89) (11x41=complete knowledge of 2nd coming)
(89 = judgment on the unsaved)
My question: Where in the Bible can we view 89 as judgment? Also shouldn't the start date of the 2 days prior to the cross be compared to 2009 rather than the very last day in 2011... since 2009 would better relate the 2 years before May 21, 2011?
In comparing dates, I believe the dates should be spiritually related and not just taken at random. For example comparing 1447 BC (exodus) should be compared to 1994 AD (depart out - exodus).
There are others that I've not looked at, but this should begin to set the stage. Feedback welcome.
