John, and Dove Brethren:
I have only posted once before, but I keep my eyes and ears open to what's happening, like you all do.
Below is a list of specific numbers related to the end times that most of us are familiar with. There have been several posts that try to map out these numbers into two basic patterns; either a 7 year period with (2) 3 1/2 parts, or a single 3 1/2 period.
Until the Sanctuary is cleansed = 2300 DAYS - Dan 8:13, Dan 8:14
Time for all things to be finished = 3 1/2 TIMES - Dan 12:7
Woman flees to the wilderness = 3 1/2 TIMES - Rev 12:14
Power given to little horn, 4th beast = 3 1/2 TIMES - Dan 7:25
Woman flees to the wilderness = 1260 DAYS - Rev 12:6
Power to 2 witnesses = 1263 1/2 DAYS - Rev 11:3 - 11:11
Tread Holy City under foot = 42 MONTHS - Rev 11:2
Power to the Beast to continue = 42 MONTHS - Rev 13:5
From Abomination to the end = 1290 DAYS - Dan 12:11
Blessed is he that waits until = 1335 DAYS - Dan 12:12
Power to hurt men = 5 MONTHS - Rev 9:10
Four angles loosed to slay 1/4 of mankind = HOUR, DAY, MONTH, YEAR - Rev 9:15
My approach was to calculate all the possible combinations of these numbers, in the Jewish calendar, where they started and ended on Feast days. I used the following feast days as a typical set to start with:
Rosh Ha-Shannah - 1 Tishri
Yom Kippur - 10 Tishri
Sukkot - 15 Tishri
Shemini Atzeret - 21 Tishri
Simkhat Torah - 22 Tishri
Noah enters Ark - 17 Heshvan
Channukah - 25 Kislev
Tu B'Shevat - 15 Shevet
Purim - 14 Adar
Purim - 15 Adar
Passover - 14 Nisan
Unleavened Bread 1 - 15 Nisan
First Fruits - 22 Nisan
Lag B'Omer - 18 Lyyar
Shavu'ot - 6 Sivan (not always 6 Sivan)
Tisha Be'Av - 9 Av
First I mapped out every one of the above feasts in Excel for the next 30 years. Then I wrote a bunch of scripts in Excel to calculate the number of days between every feast day, to every other feast day, for the whole 30 years.
This gave me some but not all the numbers of days that are listed above. What I did find was some 42 months, some 2300 days, some 2520 days, some 1263.5 days, and some 1260 days.
However, there was only ONE 1290 with a 1335 back-to-back. That one landed on 1 Tishri, 2005 (10/4/05) to 22 Nisan, 2009 (4/16/09) for 1290. Then on to 6 Sivan, 2009 (5/31/09) for 1335. The only 1260 days were either near, or at the end of the 1290 days. In fact I only found 3 -1260 days that landed on feasts for the entire 30 year period.
So I sought out to find the more specific time of Rev 9:15, that is the hour, day, month, year. Many historians believe the current Jewish calendar is off by some 242 years, not to mention that it is no longer in sync with the moon schedule. So I sought out to map out Jewish feasts to the actual moon schedule, in order to find the hour, day, month, and year. Because if you think about it, how could you ever determine this level of detail without the moon schedule ? Not possible. So why would scripture record it for us. I mean, this is so specific, that to find it, you would find EVERYTHING...
To find this I used 2 ephermeris programs (to ensure accuracy) to determine new moon dates and times for the next 30+ years. I used the new moon data to map out Jewish feasts according to the following rules:
1. Vernal Equinox begins the growing season and is the start of Jewish Feasts
2. The First conjunction (black, new moon) must take place ON or AFTER the Vernal Equinox
to start counting Holy Days.
3. Start each month on the conjunction (black, new moon).
4. Autumn Equinox is when growing season ends and represents the last great day.
5. A 19 year repeatable pattern governs the accuracy and guards against errors.
6. The day begins and ends at sunset in Jerusalem, which is GMT+2
From this I mapped out all the Jewish months and feasts, just as if it were the current Jewish calender. I was looking for a leap year with 13 months, and an extra day, and hour. I found ONE match that was within seconds. It started on 14 Adar at 18:15 GMT+2 (Jerusalem time) and ended on 15 Adar 19:15 GMT+2. This corresponds to 3/3/07 to 3/22/08. Going back 5 months we end up on 15 Tishri, 2006 (10/6/06), via the moon schedule.
Now we have the 5th and 6th Trumpet, which is also the 1st and 2nd Woe.
Notice that when the 2 witnesses were raised up, that this event corresponds to a great Earthquake in the SAME HOUR.
Rev 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Rev 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Rev 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Rev 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Rev 11:13 And the SAME HOUR was there a GREAT EARTHQUAKE, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Rev 11:14 The SECOND WOE IS PAST; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
Now if the great earthquake happened in the "same hour" that the 2 witnesses were raised up, AND right after that the second woe is past...that means that the second woe (which = 6 Trumpet), ends on the EXACT hour, ie 19:15 of 15 ADAR, 2008 (3/22/08). That also means that going backwards for 1263 1/2 days you end up at 10/6/04, which is 21Tishri of the current Jewish calendar ! Is this just coincidence? Maybe, but it looks very intriguing to me.
This chart represents what I have found to date. The "J" = Current Jewish Calendar, and the "M" = Moon Schedule Calendar.
