"720,000 Days from Resurrection
Sunday"
Various interpreters choose years from AD30 to
34 as the crucifixion year. All are equally convinced! Sir Isaac Newton
spent his adult life studying Bible prophecy (and a little part time maths
and physics, like inventing Calculus, aged 26). He came up with AD34. (They
say counting was one of his strengths). http://www.historicist.com/newton/p1c11.htm
If you add that lovely round number of days that is 720,000
(or 144 times 50 times 5 times 2) which would make 2000 'prophetic years'
(?) to Newton's resurrection day you reach next Saturday August 6th give
or take a calendar error or two. That's also Hiroshima's anniversary,
for which some are promising 'fireworks'. They won't be happening while
the church is here, so it might be a good time t'go.(It would be like Noah
drowning in the flood!) Or maybe 50 days later. Or maybe..........
Meanwhile I'm still building my house(!), and also His,
I trust,
