I would be hesitant to say that May 14, 1948 (the day in which the nation of Israel again declared themselves a member nation among the nations of the world), is the same day in which God has decreed that the final generation of man inhabiting the earth began, nor do I discount this entirely. After all, we are not to know the moment in which God has determined that final day of that last generation would be, only that we are made aware of the signs which are indicative of the nearness of the end.
Will May 14, 2018 (that is to say, 70 years from 1948) be day in which the Lord returns (in bodily form) to the land of Israel? Certainly no one can say that this is true, at least with any certainty, but on the other hand, it surely must be somewhere near that time period.
We find it stated in the closing portion of Hosea chapter 5, and continuing into the opening passages of chapter 6, that God said He would return to His place for two days (that is to say, 2,000 years), and in the third day He would return. And while we are not told when during the 3rd day His coming would take place, should we not conclude from such statements that His coming is near?
Just some thoughts about the matter of the time period during which I believe the Lord will return to the earth as He promised.
