I'm mighty curious how people who really believe this stuff behave as it gets closer.
There is a quatrain about curiosity which I know quite well. Jesus says ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
The minimization to "this stuff" when it has been a unique experience, a lot of background to it at my website, at best it seems to me you're mildly frustrated yet amused at the notion.
It has been a real experience for me coming to the point to be able to interpret the four-digit numbers in the Book of Daniel, and it has not been all fun and games, yet I am expectant of the fulfillment given the preponderance of corroborating evidence.
The thing for which I find myself longing as the countdown reaches zero is much like the celebration for New Year's Day.
The specifics of interpreting how the 1,260, 1,290, 1,335, and the 2,300 day periods began was given to me prior to the actual starting date in 2012 A.D.
I had to deal with a lot of people at that time who no longer valued what Jesus said regarding asking and knocking.
Like your barrage of questions, they bang, not knock.
The fact remains that a 2,500+ year old prophecy, closed and sealed upon its being written, has now been opened and unsealed, giving us a window in time, a gateway into the future, so to speak, yet it is Jesus, Himself, Who is the "narrow gate".
I do find myself feeling more elated at the coming of the Day of the Lord, not withstanding the Biblical admonition against desiring it.
Sometimes it seems simple, but it is nested within all things that Our Creator does, and that I find amazing, indusive to imaginings of eternity and the eternal, infinite universe.
For 699 days beginning on the 58th day (in my local time zone at that time), I was incarcerated due to my conflict with the king of the south of Daniel 11:40.
I could not access my computer.
It wasn't until the counting was at ca. 850 that I began posting anything about the unsealing, the public unsealing being realized during active session of the Court of Common Pleas in the spring of 2013 A.D.
My prayer is for an extravaganza to welcome Jesus in His returning to us; it is within our power, and as such, is something we should do.
