Let us look at how God's word provides us with the date May 14, 1948. In Ezekiel 4, God instructed Ezekiel to lay on his side for 430 days, representing 430 years of iniquity upon Israel. But He also promised that He will gather Israel "out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land" (Ezekiel 36:24.) True to prophecy, the people were taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, in 606 B.C. (Daniel 1.) The Babylonian Captivity lasted 70 years as prophesied in Jeremiah 25:11, ending in 536 B.C. (Ezra 1.) At the conclusion of the Bablylonian Captivity, 360 years remained of the 430 years prophesied by Ezekiel. But Israel did not repent of its sin. Indeed only 50,000 people returned at the end of the 70 years (Ezra 2:64-65.) Most of Israel choose not to return with Zerubbabel at that time. In Leviticus 26:18, God warned Israel that if Israel continued in sin after punishment, the punishment w! ould be multiplied 7 times. When the remaining 360 years is multiplied by 7, the punishment extends to 2,520 years.
God's prophetic year is based upon a 360 day year (see Genesis 7:11, 7:24 and 8:5; Revelation 12:6 and 12:14, as examples). 2,520 years of 360 days is 907,200 days. Based upon our solar calendar, this is 2483 years, 9 months and 21 days. Adding this period to the date of the decree of King Cyrus discussed in Ezra 1 (see above), we come to what is most probably May 14, 1948 (do not forget that there is no year 0 A.D.)
God's Word & Jerusalem: June 7, 1967 The exact same calculation can also apply to the captivity of Jerusalem. When the people were taken into captivity in 606 B.C., the city of Jerusalem was not then destroyed. However, in 587 B.C., Jerusalem was taken and the temple destroyed (II Kings 25.) 70 years later, in 517 B.C., the temple was reconstructed (Ezra 6:15.) When we add 2483 years, 9 months and 21 days to this date, we come to what is most probably June 7, 1967. What is special about this date? June 7, 1967 is the concluding day of the "6-Day War," in which Israel, for the first time since 517 B.C., regained Jerusalem. God's keen interest in Israel clearly continues into this century. The Signs of Israel Following are some additional signs which point to God's special interest in Israel and the final countdown to the Lord's return. This list is by no means complete, bu! t includes just some items that hopefully will excite you to get into God's word: http://www.trumpetmin.org/Israel.htm-----------Emphasis mine BELOW THE LINEContinue the calculation:360 X 49 Years = 17640 Days = From June 7, 1967 to September 23, 2015 Day of AtonementDuration calculation results

17,640 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds can be converted to one of these units:
- 1,524,096,000 seconds 25,401,600 minutes 423,360 hours
- 2520 weeks
From June 7, 1967 to September 23, 2015 Day of Atonement exactly 360 X 49 Years = 17640 Days / 2520 Weeks
Notice: 2520 Years of 360 Days is calculated from 517 B.C. and then 49 Years of 360 Days/2520 Weeks is calculated and culminates on Day of Atonement 2015 to kick in the Jubilee.
5769 is the final Sabbatical within a 70 year generation from Israels rebirth, and fits in more with the Mayan Calendar date of 12-21-12.
