Commentary
The Day and Hour Jesus Will Return
Colin Deal
Colin Deal’s 1988 book, published by the author at Rutherford College, North Carolina. It argues that watchful Christians can know the month and day of Christ’s return, which it places on the Feast of Trumpets in September or early October, and sets out plans for the year: a 7,000-year plan placing Christ’s return around the year 6,000 from Adam, 2,000 A.D.; seventy Jubilees ending between about 1989 and 2030; the fig-tree generation from 1948, 1918 or 1967; and a fourth plan from the Great Pyramid placing Christ’s Millennial Kingdom around 2,000 A.D. The same text was also issued as Armageddon & the 21st Century.
