Hey John:

My apologies for the long-awaited but never seen articles. The spirit is indeed willing but the flesh is weak. (LOL) Well actually, the truth is that the Lord is leading me more and more into the evangelistic area, and less and less into the numbers area. Of course I am still working on the numbers, but they just aren't on the front burner.

I just wanted to toss this little bit of revelation out, which the Lord has given me this morning.

You know how I believe that a generation is 50 years in length. My foundation for this is based on two things --

1.) God told His people that, when they are in the land, to mark/count time in periods of 50-years (Leviticus 25: 1-13).

2.) According to my timeline, the Jews have always been in the land, that is to say, in control of the area of Jerusalem, for a period of time which is a multiple of 43 years. The first time it was 860 years (20 x 43) .... and the second time it was 473 years (11 x 43).

They have similarly been removed from the land (i.e. Jerusalem), for periods of time which is a multiple of 7 years. The first time it was 70 years (10 x 7), and the second time it lasted 1,897 years (271 x 7), culminating in 1967.

These two numbers of "43" (in the land), and "7" (out of the land), themselves have a sum of 50 (i.e. 43 + 7 = 50) .... the Jubilee number noted above.

As mentioned previously, when you multiply these two numbers, you then get 301 (i.e. 43 x 7 = 301), which is the Hebrew gematria for what God describes as "MY LAND" (i.e. Ezekiel 38: 16).

But just to show this is no coincidence, there is a second phrase in God's word which refers to "THE LAND" -- namely "adamah" (i.e. Ezekiel 38: 18) -- and for which the gematria value is 50.

So therefore --

1.) God says to count time in the land, in periods of 50.

2.) The Jews are in the land for time-periods which are a 43 multiple.

3.) The Jews are out of the land for time-periods that are a 7 multiple.

4.) 7 x 43 = 301 = "MY LAND" gematria.

5.) 7 + 43 = 50 = "THE LAND" gematria.

Yes I know .... terribly coincidental.

But that isn't all.

From previous studies we know that the Book of Genesis (i.e. Genesis 1:1) is related to the Gospel of John (i.e. John 1: 1), which itself is the 43rd book of the Bible.

But here's what God showed me this morning. If you take a look at Genesis, you will see (coincidentally), that it is comprised of exactly 50 chapters. Well upon further examination, we see there are two distinct epochs (time frames), within this book.

1.) The pre-flood Earth years (Chapters 1 - 7 ) = 7 chapters.

2.) The post-flood Earth years (Chapters 8 - 50) = 43 chapters.

So here is where we are: Israel regained "the land" (i.e. Jerusalem), during the Six-Day War in 1967. Our Lord Jesus Christ stated everything would occur in a one generation timespan (Matthew 24: 34; Mark 13: 30; Luke 21: 32).

Given that the Jews have always been in the land (i.e. Jerusalem), for a period of years which is a multiple of 43, and given there can only be one generation, it would seem logical that there can only be one of these 43 year periods.

Additionally, beginning with 1967 as the starting point, this seems to make the year 2010 (i.e. 1967 + 43), a watermark year, one way or another. It seems to be either the mid-point of the final week .... or the start of the final week itself.

If it is true that 50 years is one generation, this would appear to set the upper limit (the point at which all that is written must be fulfilled), by 2017. If you subtract the seven years of the tribulation period from that time, you arrive at 2010 -- again the mystery year (one way or another).

It seems to me that the most important thing we should be doing at this time, is to get our witness (our testimony of what Jesus Christ has done for us), out in the highways and byways of the world. People are hungry. People will listen to you. Don't be afraid. Just ask for God's direction, and His annointing will be on you to do the job. You will see things happening that you never thought were possible. Keep prayed up. Stay in His Word. You were born for a time such as this.

See ya in the air,

Eric
