The worldwide flood that destroyed all life on earth except for Noah, his family, and the animals in the ark occurred in 4990 B.C. In 2 Peter 3 God refers back to this flood and then transitions to the end of the universe by fire. In verse 8 God says, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." This is interesting because God told Noah to get into the ark because in 7 days He would bring the flood (Genesis 7:4).
Now if we add 7000 to 4990 B.C. (1 day = 1000 years) we arrive at the year 2011 A.D. Is the the year Christ will return as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" to destroy the universe, bring judgment of the ungodly, and create a new Heaven and Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness?

It has the same probability of any other year; 0.

We are having rising waters now all over the world and natural disasters daily with countless lives lost, earthquakes and tremors causing tsunami are already reminding people of that great flood which was the mother of all floods.
Yes if we do not control our activities and take stock now,
when the great flood return again it maybe higher than where Noah's Ark supposingly to have come to rest on Mt Ararat in Turkey or in Iran where both boats came to rest 12,000 feet to 13.000 feet high up on the mountains. You cannot imagine how much water there was during the last great flood and more so an impending one coming in 2011.
The enormity of so much water covering the whole earth with mountains maybe 15,000 feet high being safe places but then the freezing cold will consume the weak and young at such great heights. No one will even survive in the end.
We leave this decision to God when it happens and probably like what was spoken and written only the righteous and strong will survive into the new world, Heaven or Earth.

Most estimates place the Birth of Jesus at around 4 A.D., with some scholars going as far as 10 or 11 A.D. (our modern calendars weren't made until hundreds of years later.) Your general statement is possibly correct, however it has nothing to do with the Flood as noted in Genesis. In fact, after the flood, God stated he would never again destroy the world in that way.
Of course, many Christians hold to the coin "Like a thief in the night", regarding Jesus' return. "Man shall not know the hour nor the day of the lord's return" has them saying that if you think it's happening at a particular time, then it CAN'T happen. So as long as we all keep expecting it, it'll never happen. Kinda like the watched pot with all the non-boiling.

If you're going to use the bible as your source, you should check the whole book. It clearly says that no one knows the time of the arrival. Also, we know from the bible that there will be 7 years between the rise to power of the antichrist and the 2nd coming. When you see Israel make a peace agreement with a charismatic world leader, you will have a better guess of when Jesus will return. Until then, read the word and lean not on your own understanding.

No one can know the day or the hour, so no matter how appealing ones logic may appear to a given demographic, it's flawed in that God only revealed the general time of His return so that we would watch and prepare.

Only one problems with that analysis....based on biblical geneologies, the earth is only 5767 years old. The Flood took place in 1656 from creation or 2104 BCE.

What ever happened to Y2K? the year of 2011 being the year of Jesus return is false.

No. I think that we have seven years of the Great Tribulation to go through before He returns. If the Rapture of the Church takes place this Rosh Hashanna, we won't see His return until 2014.

Men have been trying to predict the day of the return of the Lord for ages. Believe this one thing - God will not leave us or forsake us so when that day comes He will take care of us.

Sorry! But as he said he would, he returned quietly in 1914. Is now the head of God's visible organization on earth. No, you cannot see him. He is still a spirit and of course will remain so. Read your bible!
