We are told, in Matthew, that there are 14 generations between Abraham and David, between David and captivity to Babylon, and between Babylon and Christ. This equals 42 generations between Abraham and Christ. It is suggested that there are about 2,160 years between Abraham and Christ. 2,160 divided by 42 equals 51.4 years per generation.
If we add this up, 1967 had to be the Israel big date, 51.4 years later is 2018 minus 7 years tribulation equals the year 2011. Time is short! Any Replies???

I will agree that time is short.

In Blblical terms, a generation can be as short as 40 years, as much as 70 years, and even up to 120 years.
Given that: Israel was reformed in 1948 -
1948+40 = 1988; 1948 + 120 = 2068.
1967 + 40 = 2007; 1967 + 120 = 2087
I personally do not think it will be that long - probably more like 10 years or less.
