No — the Bible gives no basis for setting a date, and Les Feldick calls anyone who does a false teacher.
Les Feldick teaches that the church age has no prophetic time frame, so no one can know when Christ will come for the church. The only biblical expectation is imminency — He may come at any moment. Anyone who claims a specific date should be considered false from day one.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 — This is the passage Les points to in Clip 7 to show the rapture is a sudden, signless event with no date attached.
Scripture describes the event of Christ’s coming for the church as a mystery revealed by Paul: “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51). The following verse shows the suddenness of the change: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:52). No date, sign, or time marker is attached. In Romans 11:25 Paul explains that Israel’s blindness will last “until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” The moment the Body of Christ is complete is not revealed. Scripture therefore never supplies a calendar for the rapture.
Les Feldick is emphatic: no one can set a date for Christ’s return for the church. He explains that prophecy always has a time frame, but “there is no prophecy given to the church” (Clip 1). Since the church age is not under a prophetic timetable, “there is nothing designated date or time wise for the church.” He says that when someone sets a date, “you just cast him off as a false teacher” (Clip 2) and that the rapture is only imminent — it may happen “before the day is over” or “years down the road” (Clip 3). Les also clarifies that the seven-year tribulation will return to a prophetic time frame after the church age ends (Clip 4). The church’s hope is not a predicted date but the soon, any-moment return of the Lord (Clip 5).
Les teaches that prophecy mandates date setting, but there is no prophecy given to the church. If a date could be set, the church would be put back under prophecy, which cannot happen — “the two absolutely will not mix” (Clip 1). There is nothing in Scripture that gives believers the ability to set a date (Clip 2). The church age has no time frame; God's time clock stopped when Israel was dispersed, and no one knows when Christ will return (Clip 3).
Les says date-setters are false from day one. He describes groups that sell everything and wait on a mountainside for a specific day, calling them “way out in left field” (Clip 1). When someone sets a date, he says, “you just cast him off as a false teacher” (Clip 2). He repeats: “mark them off as false from day one, because there is nothing in Scripture that can help us set a date” (Clip 4).
Yes. Les teaches that the rapture is imminent — it may happen at any moment, even before the day is over (Clips 3, 5). Unlike the Second Coming to the Mount of Olives, which will have prophetic events leading up to it, the rapture has “no prophetic sign” and “nothing to indicate at what day or year” it will happen (Clip 7). Scripture describes it as “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye” (1 Corinthians 15:52).
Les says the Body of Christ must be complete. When the last Gentile or Jew is saved and the Body is complete, Christ will come for the Church (Clip 6). No one knows when that will be — “we can never say that in 5 years He’s coming,” and we don’t know if He’s coming in 100 years. The only certain thing is that He is coming and that the completion of the Body is the trigger.
Les explains that once the church age is done and that undetermined period of time is ended, the seven years of the tribulation will begin. At that point prophecy resumes and a time frame is back in view — “seven years are going to elapse in prophecy.” But for the church age itself, there is nothing like that (Clip 4).
Daniel's Dream, the Antichrist & the Mark of the Beast
Now you come down to verse 26, And the king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was changed from the Hebrew to the Babylonian or the Aramaic name, Belteshazzar. And he says, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen and the interpretation thereof? And Daniel answered in the presence of the king and said, The secret which the king hath demanded, and cannot the wise men, th…
No Prophecy for the Church
Les teaches that the church has no prophetic timeline, so no date can be set for Christ's return without wrongly putting the church under prophecy.
Date-Setters Are False Teachers
Les tells his class to cast off anyone who sets a date, because Scripture gives no ability to date the rapture.
Time Clock Stopped
Les explains that Israel's dispersion stopped God's prophetic time clock and the church age has no time frame, so the return is only imminent.
False from Day One
Les repeats that date-setters are false from day one, and notes that the tribulation will bring back prophecy's seven-year time frame.
Imminent, Not Datable
Les teaches that the church is to expect the Lord at any moment; the event cannot be dated, only awaited.
Trigger Is the Completed Body
Les says the rapture will occur the minute the Body of Christ is complete, but no one can know when that will happen.
No Prophetic Signs for Rapture
Les contrasts the signless rapture with the Second Coming, which will have prophetic events leading up to it.
1 Corinthians 15:51: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Paul calls the rapture a mystery, not a dated prophecy.
1 Corinthians 15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Shows the suddenness and signless nature of the event.
Romans 11:25: For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
The rapture waits on the completion of the Body of Christ, a timing Scripture never reveals.
No. Scripture gives no date, and Les Feldick teaches that the church age has no prophetic time frame. The rapture is imminent — it may happen at any moment — but the exact day or year is unknown.
Les says yes. He instructs his class to cast off anyone who sets a date for the Lord's return, because there is nothing in Scripture that enables us to set such a date.
No. Les explains that the rapture has no prophetic signs leading up to it, while the Second Coming to the Mount of Olives will be preceded by prophetic events that make the timing clear.
