Estimated Dates of the Events of the 1 Year Great Tribulation of the Earth

That is just plain ignorant, as if to say God never reveals new things to man. When Noah left the ark, God revealed something new to man, that he may eat animals. When Moses gave the Torah, God revealed new things to man, such as forbidding brothers from marrying sisters and wearing tzitzit and killing Passover lambs. When the Messiah came, he revealed new things to man, such as forbidding men from remarrying after divorce and not executing the death penalty of the Torah because we are in a time of mercy and repentance. And through the Messiah, much time after his resurrection and ascension into heaven, now we have knowledge pertaining to his second coming, including the timing of his second coming. This knowledge was not given initially to the Messiah and the apostles by God, until much later on, and it pertains to our generations. But because you people do not know the Torah, nor understand the truth, you blind yourselves, and do not perceive the value of these pearls I am giving you, based on the appointed times of the Torah and the prophetic times written in the book of Revelation. And your ears have also grown dull over the centuries hearing many people cry wolf regarding the second coming of the Messiah, and now in this final hour when someone is crying wolf when their truly is a wolf approaching, you refuse to listen.
Jesus said in regard to His return both directly and in parable, to watch and pray, to be ready, meaning to belong to Christ before it is too late. He never said pay attention to what John will tell you in the future about the end times. Calculate the meaning of all symbols and timelines and you will know when I will return. If you don't whoa unto you. He said the opposite. Like a thief in the night, as in the days of Noah. He said be ready. Always.
 
in the 18th century, Jonathan Edwards estimated Jesus' arrival...

in his lifetime. ugh. way to be wrong...

((to be fair, I still enjoy 'Sinners in the hands of an angry God')) :)
 
I have only one comment.
What difference does it make to one life?

The tribulation is coming at some point, in our lives or in our grandchildrens lives. What difference does it make as we have so many claims that are shown by time to be wrong.
