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 destruction 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 inside the ark 7 days before He brought the flood (Genesis 7:4).
In verse 8 of 2 Peter 3 we read that interesting Scripture. If we add 7000 to 4990 B.C. (1 day = 1000 years) we arrive at the year 2011 A.D. Is this the year Christ will return as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" to rapture the saints, destroy the universe bringing judgment on the ungodly, and create a new Heaven and Earth?
Before you answer, remember God told Abraham and Lot before He destroyed Sodom + Gomorrah.

That is one well thought out theory. I know Jesus said no one knows exactly when it will happen, but if God is basing it on just a time frame, then your idea makes a lot of sense.
I guess we got some work to do before he comes back.

the date is composed of the 12 months. and in accordance to Christian doctrine, the international will end over 1007 years after the 2d coming of Christ (the rapture). so till the rapture befell in 1003 A.D., it is impossible for the judgement day to take place in 2011

2 Peter 3:8-15 – instead of worrying about when the rapture will occur, Christians should follow Peter’s instruction to repent of their sins, live lives of holiness and godliness, be zealous and at peace, and wait for the Lord’s coming with forbearance and joy!

It is a very good conclusion, but let me tell you one better. God said that He would never leave us or forsake us. Before He comes we who know and love Him will know that He is coming because He will tell us. God does nothing until He tells His prophets first. We also know by being watchmen on the wall that the time is near.

Why waste our time pondering it?
We are supposed to stay within the Grace of God always and lets spend that energy pondering on helping our fellow man instead.
Peace and God Bless!

these calculations are based on some form of math I have not yet studied, o yeah biblical math, was too hard did not try it.
How in the world did you come up with that flood date.

any year is probably. jesus says "I will come like a theif in the night". That means that he will come when we least expect it. it would be too obvious if we could figure out from the bible when he was coming. So the answer is no.

Absolutely not. I will willingly bet anything that there will be no 2nd coming in 2011!
Why should you trust anything written so long ago when so much in it has clearly been made up?

Hogwash... utter hogwash.
That's all based on biblical nonsense that was written by completely uneducated and superstitious men.
The bible is a fairy tale... a disturbing one at that.

No.
Look, I'm pretty sure somewhere in the Bible it mentioned that no one but God knows when the second coming is.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, it's been awhile since I've picked up the book.
But, no.
