To John and Five Doves,In Revelation we are told that the last 3.5 years will be 1260 days.
Yet Daniel indicates it will be a period of 1335 days.
The 4th Trumpet cuts a 1/3 off of the day and night.
The 5th Trumpet lasts 5 months which if your months are 30 days would = 150 days.
To the western world, days are equal to 24 hours without regard to the sunrise or sunset.
However to a Jew, days begin at sunset. This is key.
If you subtract off 150 days off of the final 1260 days, you will have an event at 1110 days in which time is reckoned differently.
If you take 1335 and subtract 1110 you have 225 days remaining.
If your days are 24 hour days, you have 150 days remaining.
If your days are 16 hour days (reckoned by sunset to sunset), you have 225 days remaining.
Therefore, calculations in Daniel should consider the change of time of "mornings and evenings".
I am going to make a few assumptions. I am going to assume that the 2300 days ends at the same point as the 1260/1335 days. Because I am assuming that the angels will be gathering (out of His Kingdom those things that offend) and is completed on the last day.
I will give days as (Jewish ~ Western)
So prior to midpoint (T) we have:
T - ( 965j ~ 965w ) = Begin of 2300 days.
T - (0j ~ 0w) = Midpoint.
T + (1110j ~ 1110w) = Beginning of the 5th Trumpet
T + (1290j ~ 1230w) = Begins the last month.
T + (1335j ~ 1260w) = LAST DAY
=================================
(2300j ~ 2225w)
An interesting detail emerges in Strong's:
2225g = preserve, live (to bring forth alive, to give life, to preserve alive)
Luk 17:33 Whosoever 3739 1437 shall seek 2212 to save 4982 his 846 life 5590 shall lose 622 it 846 ; and 2532 whosoever 3739 1437 shall lose 622 his 846 life shall preserve 2225 it 846 .
2225h = rising (dawning, shining) - used only once.
Isa 60:3 And the Gentiles 01471 shall come 01980 to thy light 0216 , and kings 04428 to the brightness 05051 of thy rising 02225 .
Not that this is related but it might be.
965g = Bethlehem
965h = Flash of Lightning (Eze 1:14)
I am hoping that those who are good at crunching the numbers will be able to spot or pinpoint significant days.
My personal feeling was that at 11:59:59pm on 11/08/2006 or at 12:00:01 on 11/09/2006, a call went out to "measure" the temple to see if the Bride to be was ready. She was not. she was pursing her own dreams, and walking in her own vision, and not even aware that the bridegroom is longing to be with his bride. She likes the way the Master Artist has pictured her, but she uses the picture for her own pursuits, rather than turning her love toward the One who draws out the beauty in her.
Jesus is coming quickly and is the Bride ready???
