The Rapture 40 + years away?

No one knows when the rapture will accrue but I eagerly await in excitement for it. However I believe it is at least 40 to 50 years away if not many more. There is a prophecy yet to be fulfilled that needs to come to past before the rapture can come, according to my understanding. And it is found in Ezekiel 29:9-16. It tells of the land of Egypt becoming desolate and uninhabitable for 40 years and like Israel, Egypt will be scattered among all nations for 40 years. After forty years Egypt will be regathered and brought back as a nation but converted as a Christian nation [ Then they will know I am the lord! (Verse 9 ) ]

Ezekiel 29:9-16 NIV

Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord. “ ‘Because you said, “The Nile is mine; I made it, ” [10] therefore I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt a ruin and a desolate waste from Migdol to Aswan, as far as the border of Cush. [11] The foot of neither man nor beast will pass through it; no one will live there for forty years. [12] I will make the land of Egypt desolate among devastated lands, and her cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries. [13] “ ‘Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were scattered. [14] I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt, the land of their ancestry. There they will be a lowly kingdom. [15] It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations. I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations. [16] Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence for the people of Israel but will be a reminder of their sin in turning to her for help. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord. ‘ ”

Just something to think about! If it’s true at least we have more time to do his will/work. So don’t waste it get to it!
