How long before the second coming does Les believe the rapture will happen?
The rapture is expected to take place seven years ahead of the second coming. This seven-year interval is affirmed as the proper sequence, and it means the present time is getting very close to the fulfillment of these prophetic events.
Les teaches that the rapture occurs seven years before the second coming. In the transcript, after listing Jubilee calculations that point to the fall of the year 2000, he cautions not to tie oneself to that date as the Lord's return, because that refers to His second coming, not the rapture. He then states that if the rapture takes place seven years ahead of the second coming—as he and Brother Jeffreys believe—then we are getting awfully close.
