The 70 year window closes between 2015-2018.
When the window closes, judgment will come.
still not sure what this "window" is based on, since religious figures have been repeatedly assuring us we'll soon be killed in an apocalyptic nuclear confrontation with Russia for decades now
The 70 year window is based upon how God has acted in the past when he laid judgment upon ancient Babylon.
The reference in the Old Testament can be found in Jeremiah 25.
The Destruction of Babylon
12And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. 13And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. 14For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands. Jeremiah 25:12-14
All the words that Jeremiah pronounced against Babylon weren't fulfilled when ancient Babylon was destroyed.
Therefore there is a near and far fulfillment of the prophecy! Thus the remaining prophetic utterances that Jeremiah pronounced against Babylon have to do with the destruction of Babylon the Great!
With that being the case the same principle that God used to judge ancient Babylon will also be used to judge Babylon the great!
Why? Because of this:
"I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed Malachi 3:6
The Lord doesn't change! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!
The same way He acted in the past, is the same way He will
Act in the future!
Ecclesiastes also tells us this:
"That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done. And there is nothing new done under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, 'see, this is new'? It has already been in ancient times before us." Ecclesiastes 1:9-10
The principle of 70 years remains the same! And the countdown for Babylon the Great started either in
A) 1945-when America won WW2 after they dropped the 2 bombs on Japan.
B) 1948-when Israel became a nation again in 1 day and America being the first country to back them!
So you add 70 years to those dates and we get the 2015-2018 window!
Now you add in all the other signs of the times and you'd be a complete buffoon to ignore the obvious season in which we are living in. Amen.
