Andrea,
Your post to 5Doves last week concerning the phrase “Thy Word” which shows up 42 times in Psalms 119 I believe may be a huge scriptural find on your part. Bravo to you!!! http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2018/andrea1230-3.htm
You speculated that it may have something to do with the antichrist continuing for 42 months.
I wrote a long post this week and last week which I believe proves that the AC is here for the total tribulation period of 7 years. 2 periods of 42 months which equals 7 years.
That said, your focus of 42 repetitions of the phrase “Thy Word” used in Psalm 119 becomes (I believe) very significant when you look not at the antichrist but at the ministry of the two end time witnesses. I believe you have been led of God to something extremely important here.
The ministry of the two end time witnesses is indeed 1260 days or 42 months.
When the two witnesses are here for 42 months, what is their purpose? The bible says they preach the gospel of Jesus to the whole world.
What is another way to phrase...... the gospel of Jesus? How about...”Thy Word”
So again, the phrase“Thy Word” is mentioned 42 times in Psalm 119 within the 176 verses that comprise that Psalm. But...as you have listed them, the phrase “Thy Word” only shows up in the context of 168 of those verses. The first 8 verses of the 176 verses are void on the phrase “Thy Word”.
What is 42 months x 4 weeks per month.......gee....168 weeks.
Also you listed which verses the phrase “Thy Word” shows up. It doesn't show up in the first 8 verses. 176 verses – 8 verses = 168 verses
Lets pretend that the 176 total verses in Psalm 119 represent 176 weeks
Now...if one were to use 1 January 2019 as a starting point and project ahead for those 176 weeks we would be 8 weeks past the 42 months. But the phrase “Thy Word” doesn't show up in the first 8 verses of Psalm 119 so we have to offset the starting date 8 weeks ahead from 1 January 2019 to 1 March 2019. Now the period from 1 March 2019 to the 176 weeks point is 168 weeks or 42 months.
Meaning what?
Meaning to me that there is a high probability that the two witness will show up on earth in 2019.
When? 8 weeks into the year or around 1 March 2019. They will start preaching the gospel......”Thy Word”.... for 168 weeks which equals 42 months (42 “Thy Word) which equals 1260 days......
Project ahead those 1260 days and that will be the mid-point of the 7 year tribulation and the day the two witnesses are killed by the antichrist.
Again...Andrea, I believe you were led to something huge when you spent time exploring Psalm 119. Thank you....it's exciting for me to entertain the idea that the two end time witnesses will be showing up around 1 March 2019.
If so it will mean that the 7 year tribulation period starts then....at that point. And that will also start the clock where we can determine when we are taken to Jerusalem to be “born again” and ascend from there to meet Jesus in the clouds. (all described in the other post I wrote this week to Lori)
I hope my analysis (because of your prompting article) is as exciting for you as it is for me in anticipation of the “kick-off” of the tribulation period beginning 8 weeks into 2019 or 1 March 2019.
Blessings Andrea.........John B
P.S. We all know that the two witnesses have to show up sometime. And I don't believe God wanted the date that they would arrive to be a mystery. I believe that it was to be found somewhere in His Word....... and I believe through Andrea's research she may very well have opened the door to that revelation.
P.P.S. I may have neglected to mention to those who are not aware that there seems to be a direct relationship between the numbers of the Psalms and corresponding years. Psalm 108 would correspond to 2008, Psalm 115 would correspond to 2015 and so on. So obviously the verbiage above about Psalm 119 reflects to 2019.
