"REPLY TO GM -- Esther & Extra Time & Different Rapture Timelines"


Thanks for pointing out in your 9/27 post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2010/gm927-1.htm that the book of Esther the king has a gentile bride first, and he later takes a Jewish bride and saves her and her people which is similar to our Lord Jesus saving the gentiles first since the majority of the Jewish people were spiritually blind when He first came to Earth, and He saves the remnant of the Jewish people later during the great tribulation period and they are grafted back into the olive tree.
 
In regard to different timelines for the rapture and the 70 weeks of Daniel, the 1335 days of Daniel 12:12 fit exactly between the Fast of Esther on 2/21/2013 through the Feast of Tabernacles on 10/16/2016 if you haven't read my post earlier this year in February which I can no longer find the link for so below I have reposted it in its entirety in case someone has missed it"
 
 IS THE FAST OF ESTHER ON 2/21/2013 THRU THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES ON 10/17/2016 THE 1335 DAYS OF DANIEL12:12?

In studying the Jewish calendar from the years 2010 through 2100, I have only found 1 time frame beginning on the Fast of Esther through the Feast of Tabernacles for the 1335 days mentioned in the book of Daniel 12:12 where it says, "Blessed is the he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." (1335 days)  30 Biblical days in a month x 44.5 months = 1335 days.

So why does Daniel 12:12 says, "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and thirty days." (1335 days)?  I think that a person would be blessed on the Feast of Tabernacles if they went up to celebrate it in Jerusalem because if you read Zechariah 14:16-21, anyone not coming up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord and keep the Feast of the Tabernacles is going to be cursed with no rain and a smitten with the plague during the Lord Jesus Christ 1000 year reign on eatth.  So a person worshiping the Lord and coming up to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles will be blessed with rain and with no plague.  So yes, I think the 1335th day of Daniel 12:12 may very well be the Feast of Tabernacles, but in what year?  

The one unique 1335 days timeline I found out of the next 90 years would begin on the Fast of Esther on 2/21/2013 if the the Daily Sacrifice is taken away and the Abomination of Desolation set up on the day where Daniel 12:11 says, "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shalll be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days," (1290) and it would end 45 days later on the 1335th day on the Feast of Tabernacles on 10/17/2016 where Daniel 12:12 says, "Blessed is the he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" (1335 days) if that is indeed the correct time frame for the 1335 days.

Beginning with the Fast of Esther on 2/21/2013 as the 1st day, I then calculated the 1290th day to be 9/02/2016, Av29 in the Jewish year of 5776.  I wondered why the 1290th day ended up on Av 29 which is a month before 10/02/2016, Elul 29, with the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets beginning at sundown at eve on the same calendar day of 10/02/2016 which is Tishri 1.  Since the Lord Jesus is expected to return on the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets, why would He be returning a month ahead of time on 9/02/2016?  However, I was reading an article online called Why The Jewish Calendar Will Be Incorrect in The Year 2016 at http://www.studiesintheword.org/jewish_calendar_errors.htm as to why the Jewish Passover is being celebrated one month later than normal with the Passover beginning on 4/22/2016 rather than on 3/22/2016 which means that the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 10/02/2016, which begins on Tishri 1 at sundown after Elul 29 ends, should really be celebrated at sundown on 9/02/2016 at the end of Av 29 in the year of 2016 when the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets begins which is the 1290th day on which the Abomination of Desolation would be destroyed as the date that the Lord Jesus puts an end to it rather than on the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 10/02/2016 on the Jewish calendar which is off by 1 month which has to due when the barley being ripened by Passover, 3/22/2016 rather than by a Passover on 4/22/2016. 

As you know I think most people believe the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets to be when the Lord Jesus will return because it is also called Judgement Day, and He will, but I think He will be on time according to the correct season.  After reading this article about the Jewish calendar being off by 1 month, I now realize why the Abomination of Desolation would be destroyed  on the correct Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 9/02/2016 rather than on the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 10/02/2016 which is incorrect on the Jewish calendar since it falls a month later than it really should. It also maybe another reason why Jesus said no one would know the day or the hour of his return although he may have been referring to the Rapture instead.  Most Christians might be looking for Him to return on the Eve of The Feast of Trumpets, but they are looking at the incorrect day for the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on the Jewish calendar because the day is incorrect on the calendar due to the barley ripening 1 month earlier than what is on the Jewish calendar. 

Also the 7 months needed to cleanse the land of Israel in Ezekiel 39:12 could take place after the Abomination of Desolation is destroyed on 9/02/2016, if the cleansing of the land began on the 1st day of the next month of Elul which is 9/04 through 3/27/2017 which is the 29th day of the month of Adar 1 in 2017 which is the the day before Nisan 1.  There would be 7 months between Elul 1 in 2016 and Nisan 1 in 2017 to cleanse the land, and the Jewish Passover always takes place in the month of Nisan.

However, most people think that this 7 month cleansing time period falls in a Jewish leap year that adds an extra month of Adar 2 to the calendar right before the month of Nisan when Passover takes place.  In that time period the cleansing of the land of Israel for 7 months would be from the 1st day of the 1st month of Tishri on the Jewish civil calendar through the end of the 7th month which is Adar 2 in a Jewish leap year just before the month of Nisan begins.  So that is why some Christians are looking at the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets in 2015, Tishri 1 on 9/13/2015 which begins at sundown on that day as that time of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ because from the Eve of Tishi 1, 9/13/2015 through the 29th day of Adar 2 on 4/08/2016 is 7 months where the land of Israel could be cleansed after the Feast of Trumpets. 

The Feast of Tabernacles in the year of 2015 is on 9/28/2015, a day when a blood moon is predicted in the Jewish year of 5776.  So if you used this Feast of Tabernacles as the 1335th day in the book of Daniel instead, the 1290th day would fall on 8/14/2015; and it would be Av29 when Abomination of Desolation is destroyed in the the book of Daniel when the Lord would be returning on rather than on the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets, 9/13/2015, Tishri 1 at sundown when Elul 29 ends.  However, that would mean that the 1st day of the 1335 days of the book of Daniel would fall on 2/02/2012 when the Daily Sacrifice is taken away and the Abomination of Desolation is set up which also could be possible, but it wouldn't happen on the Fast of Esther because that takes place on 3/04/2015 nor is 2/02/2012 a Jewish Feast or Fast Day.  

As I see it, the 1335 days in Daniel 12:12 may be marked in time on the Jewish calendar since I checked from the years 2010 through 2100 and found only 1 time period of 1335 days which begins on the Fast of Esther on 2/21/2013 and ends on the Feast of Tabernacles on 10/17/2016.  Since 1335 days is 30 Biblical days times 44.5 (44 1/2) months, I first checked all the months of February from 2010 thru the year 2100 since you would need a time period of 1335 days beginning in February which is the earliest month that the Fast of Esther can begin, and the 44 1/2 months later of 1335 days would have to end somewhere in the month October after the Fast of Esther began 44 1/2 months earlier. Out of the 90 years beginning in 2010 through 2100, I only found 19 Fast of Esther's beginning in February.  Of those 19 Fast of Esther's beginning in February, 9 of them I had to discard because the Feast of Tabernacles fell in September which would not allow enough time for the 1335 days to take place from the Fast of Esther through the Feast of Tabernacles.  Of the remaining 10 Fast of Esther's that began in the month of February and that had a Feast of Tabernacles falling 44 1/2 months later in October, there was only 1 that contained 1335 days and that 1 began on the Fast of Esther on 2/21/2013 and ended on the Feast of Tabernacles on 10/17/2016.  The other 9 out of the 10 that began in February on the Fast of Esther and had a Feast of Tabernacles ending 44 1/2 months later in October that I discarded, 3 had 1331 days, 4 had 1332 days, and 2 had 1333 days. So that only left 1 time period in the next 90 years of 1335 days which takes place beginning on the Fast of Esther on 2/21/2013 and ending on the Feast of Tabernacles on 10/17/2016.

What is very interesting about the month of October is that the Greek gematria of LORD JESUS CHRIST 3168 which is 288 x 11 = 3168, which also is the numbers or the days from the 283rd day through the 293rd day of the year in October.  In other words if you add all the numbers from 283 thru 293, they equal 3168, and in a leap year like 2016, they would represent 10/09 as the 283rd day thru 10/19 as the 293rd day with the Feast of Tabernacles on 10/17, 2016 which is the 291st day of the year.  Also the year 2016 = 288 x 7.  So 2016 would be the numbers or the days on the calendar of  285th thru the 291st, and the Feast of Tabernacles on 10/17/2016 is the 291st day in leap year.   The 291st day of 10/17 in a leap yr. is also the center of the Greek gematria of ENOCH 1455 = 291st day x 5 = the 289th day thru the 293rd day in a leap yr. which are 10/15 thru 10/19 in a leap yr.  The Greek gematria of NOAH 855 = 285th day x 3 = the 284rd day thru the 286th day which is 10/10 thru 10/12 in a leap yr.  So the Greek gematria of NOAH 855 is at the beginning of the Greek gematria of LORD JESUS CHRIST while the Greek gematria of ENOCH 1455 is at the end of the Greek gematria of the LORD JESUS CHRIST 3168, and they all fall in the month of October every year.  So it would be very unique if the 1335th day in Daniel 12:12 is in the month of October on the Feast of Tabernacles on 10/17/2016 since it would fall within the Greek gematria on the calendar of the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST 3168.  Also the year 2016 is centered between the middle day or the 285th day of NOAH's Greek gematria and the middle day of Enoch's Greek gematria of 291.  So the 285th day thru the 291st day = 2016.  Then the Greek gematria for JESUS 888 = 296 x 3, or the 295th, 296, & 297th days in  October being 10/21, 10/22 & 10/23 in a leap year like 2016.  Also the Greek gematria for JESUS CHRIST 2368 = 296 x 8, but you would have to place 4 of the days before the 296th day and 4 days after the 296th day and omit the 296th day which is already contained in the Greek gematria of JESUS 888 anyway.  So JESUS CHRIST 2368 in October would be the days of the 292nd, 293rd, 294th, 295th,  and 297th, 298th, 299th, 300 = 2368 or 10/18 thru 10/21 plus the days of 10/23 thru 10/26 in a leap yr.  So the month of October in each and every year contains all these interesting aspects, and it certainly would be unique if the 1335th day of Daniel 12:12 turned out to be 10/17/2016.

In searching for the 1 time frame of 1335 days that I discovered hidden in the Jewish calendar, I found other interesting things as well. For one thing the identity of the man clothed in linen upon the waters of the river as the middle figure in Daniel 12:5-7 between two others standing on the opposite river banks appears to be the same pre-incarnate Jesus Christ of Daniel 10:4-6 and also matches the description of the resurrected Jesus Christ in Revelation 1:13-17 while the waters of the river Hiddekel that the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ is upon was the 3rd river that comes out of the Garden of Eden (paradise on earth) in Genesis 2:10-14 which may very well symbolize Jesus' 2nd coming to earth out of paradise in heaven.  The two figures standing on the river banks on Earth on opposite sides of the river may represent a beginning and ending indicator or marker on the Jewish calendar of "a time on Earth" symbolized by the earth banks they are standing on that Jesus would come out of paradise in heaven since He is upon the waters of the Hiddekel River which was the 3rd branch of a river that comes out of  paradise on earth (Garden of Eden) in Genesis 2:10-14.  Are these two markers on Earth's Jewish calendar of "a time" on Earth" that the 1335 days of Daniel 12:12 would begin as the Fast of Esther on 2/21/2013 and end on 10/17/2016 on the Feast of Tabernacles on a day when anyone coming up to the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem would be blessed?  Time will tell.
 
It's also interesting to note that the waters of the Hiddekel River which comes out of the Garden of Eden (paradise) in Daniel 12 which the pre-incarnate Lord Jesus is upon that may symbolize His coming from paradise in heaven has 2 meanings.  One meaning of "Hiddekel" is "rapid" according to the link at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Hiddekel and the Resurrection-Rapture of believers is going to happen in "a twinkling of an eye" according to 1 Corin. 15:52.  The other meaning of "Hiddekel" is "sharp voice, sound"  according to the link at  http://www.ccel.org/ccel/hitchcock/bible_names.html?term=Hiddekel and Rev. 1:16 says,  "And he (Jesus) had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength. Rev. 2:12 says, "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he (Jesus) which hath the sharp sword with two edges;" and Rev. 19:15 says, "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God." Isaiah 11:4, "... and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. " 2 Thess. 2:8, "And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming."

So what I am trying to point out is that the 2nd meaning of the word "Hiddekel" which is "sharp voice, sound" may apply to the Lord Jesus' 2nd coming to earth out of paradise in heaven when He uses the "a sharp voice" which is the "sharp sword (word of God) that comes out of His mouth" to slay the wicked while the 1st meaning of the word Hiddekel (symbolizing paradise) is  "rapid" which may be the twinkling of an eye in which the Resurrection - Rapture takes place and our bodies are tranformed into immortal, incorruptible bodies while the dead in Christ are also raised first and also receive immortal, incorruptible bodies in a twinkling of an eye so the time of both the Resurrection-Rapture and the Lord Jesus 2nd coming our of paradise in heaven to earth also may both p;ossibly be in the timeline of the 1335 days beginning at the Fast of Esther on 2/21/2013 and ending on the 1335 day on the Feast of Tabernacles on 10/17/2016 if this is the 1335th day of Daniel 12:12. 

The man (pre-incarnate Jesus Christ) clothed in linen on the waters of the river tells us in  Daniel 12:7, "And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished." A "time" in the Bible is considered to be 1 year or 12 months x 30 days = 360 Biblical days. So time would be 360 days, times would be 2 x 360 days = 720 days, and 1/2 a time would be 180 days = 1260 days or 42 months.

However, the 1290 days of Daniel 12:11 contains 1 extra month of 30 days which would mean that the timeline that Jesus' returns in may contain a Jewish leap year that contains the extra 13th month of Adar 2 before the month of Nisan while a Jewish non-leap year only contains 12 months although a Jewish year is never 360 days long.  And yes, the Jewish civil year of 5776 beginning on Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 9/13/ 2015, Tishri 1 and ending on 10/02/2016, Elul 29, does contain the extra month of Adar 2 (3/11/2016 thru 4/08/2016) in the middle as the 7th month of its 13th month calendar with the Fast of Esther on 3/23/2016 on 13th day of the month of Adar 2 and Purim on 3/24/2016 as the 14th day of the month of Adar 2 near the middle of the Jewish civil calendar.  On the Jewish civil calendar in a leap year of 13 months, the month of Adar 2 is the 7th and middle month of the calendar, and on the Jewish religious calendar the month of Adar 2 is the 13th month.  The Jewish civil calendar begins with the 1st day of 1st month of Tishri and ends with the 29th or last day of Elul while the Jewish religious calendar begins with the 1st day of the 1st month of Nisan and ends with the last day of the 12th month of Adar or in a leap year ends on the last day of the 13th month of Adar 2. So if the Lord Jesus Christ did return on 9/02/2016 as the correct date of the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets with it being the 1290th day of Daniel 12:11, it would be a month before the incorrect Jewish calendar year of 5776 ends on 10/02/2016, Elul 29, with the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets beginning at sundown on that day asTishri 1.  In other words our modern calendar year of 2016 shows an extra month of Adar 2 in the Jewish calendar year of 5776.
 
However, on the Jewish religious calendar that began on 3/21/2015, which is Nisan 1 in the Jewish year of 5775 and ends on 4/08/2016 which is the 29th day of Adar 2 in 5776, the 1st day of Feast of Tabernacles on 9/28/2015 is Tishri 15.  The month of Tishri is the 7th and middle month of the religious calendar in a leap year, and Tishri 15, the Feast of Tabernacles is in the middle of that month, and it is a day that a blood red moon is predicted to take place.
 
Another interesting fact is that the middle of the Jewish religious calendar in a non-leap year falls between the last day of Elul 29 and the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets rather than on the Feast of Tabernacles while the middle of the year on the Jewish civil calendar in a non-leap yr. would fall between the last day of the month of Adar 1, and Nisan 1 which begins the Jewish religous calendar.
 
In checking the timeline for the 1290th day and the 1335th day of Daniel 12:11-12, I also found that if the 1st day was the Fast of Esther and the 1290th day took place on the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets, then the 1335th day would have to take place 45 days on Heshvan 15 in most years.  I only found six 1290 day time periods that began on the Fast of Esther and ended on the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets and one 1290 day time period that began on the Fast of Esther and ended on the Feast of Trumpets which follows 1 day on the calendar after the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets.  I just checked the years 2010 thru 2067.   Those 1290 day time periods on the calendar are as follows:

Fast of Esther on 3/09/2017 thru Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 9/18/2020 = 1290 days.

Fast of Esther on 3/21/2024 thru Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 10/01/2027 = 1290 days.

Fast of Esther on 3/22/2035 thru Feast of Trumpets on 9/30/2038 = 1290 days.

Fast of Esther on 2/26/2037 thru Eve Of the Feast of Trumpets on 9/07/2040 = 1290 days.

Fast of Esther on 3/10/2044 thru Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 9/20/2047 = 1290 days.

Fast of Esther on 2/23/2051 thru Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 10/03/2054 = 1290 days.

Fast of Esther 2/28/2064 thru Eve of the Feast of Trumpets on 9/09/2067 = 1290 days.

The 1335th day in each of these takes place on Heshvan 15 which is 45 days after the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets.

Now as to when the Rapture takes place I don't know since the Bible says we don't know the day or the hour. However, in a book by Hal Lindsey, he said that perhaps the Daily Sacrifice is taken away on the 1st day of the 1290 days and the Abomination of Desolation may be set up 30 days later which would begin the 1260 day reign of the Antichrist while the woman (Israel) flees into the wilderness for those 1260 days.  So 30 days or approximately 30 days after the Fast of Esther 2/21/2013 would be 3/21/2013 which is Nisan 10 when the lamb for the Passover was set apart from the flock that later was to be killed and eaten on Passover.  So would this Nissan 10 be the day of the Rapture because of what is told us about the coming of the Lord Jesus and the gathering of us together to him in 2 Thessalonians 2:-1-4?  Does the Antichrist have to sit in the temple first before we are gathered to the Lord?  Then 10 days later Easter Sunday falls on 3/31/2013. Could this be the day of the Rapture since our Lord Jesus tells us in Revelation  2:10, "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."  So are the 10 days in Rev. 2:10 the 10 days from 3/21/2013 to 3/31/2013 Easter Sunday, and would this be the day of the Rapture?  And as for the great multitude seen in heaven that came out of great tribulation in Rev. 7:9-17, does that mean that they were in the great tribulation period for 10 days from 3/21/2013 to 3/31/2013, Easter Sunday?  These are hypothetical questions which I really don't really expect an anwer to since they are all possibilities like Pentecost Sunday, 5/19/2013 or the Jewish Feast of Shavoth  also called the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) on 5/15-5/16, 2013 as possible Rapture dates as well.

And another factor to take into consideration is the date 12/21/2012 because the Fast of Esther begins exactly 2 months later on 2/21/2013 which may be the beginning of both the 1290 day and the 1335 day period of Daniel 12:11-12.  Is 12/21/2012 the date that the old serpent Satan is cast out of heaven down to the earth and his angels are cast out with him according to Rev. 12:7-17 after a war fought in heaven between Michael and his angels, and the dragon or old serpent Satan and his fallen angels? An article called Researcher Reveals Deepest Secrets of Mayan 2012 at http://www.raidersnewsnetwork.com/2012.htm says, "The exact end date of the Mayan calendar is December 21, 2012, when during the winter solstice at 11:11 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) the sun will align with the galactic center of the Milky Way galaxy, an event that occurs only every thirteen thousand years. The precession of the equinoxes will conclude a twenty-six-thousand-year cycle, bringing the astrological Age of Pisces to an end and introducing the beginning of Aquarius, when the next cycle begins and the sun rises out of the mouth of the Ouroboros (great serpent of the Milky Way). This is the sun rising in Sagittarius, the centaur with a bow—the symbol for Nimrod coming out from the mouth of Leviathan and the sun ‘god’ rising again—Nimrod/Osiris/Apollo," adds Thomas Horn, the new book Apollyon Rising 2012: The Lost Symbol Found and the Final Mystery of the Great Seal Revealed "  Would this be the time that the old serpent Satan be cast out of heaven and down to Earth?  According to Genesis 10:8-10, the beginning of Nimrod's kingdom was Babel, and Erech. and Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar where the tower of Babel was built at a time when the whole earth was of one language and one speech.  Sounds like Nimrod is a forerunner of the Antichrist with his coming one world government and one world religion.

However, since we don't know with 100% certainty whether the 1335 days of Daniel 12:12 actually begins on the Fast of Esther 2/21/2013 and ends on the Feast of Tabernacles 10/17/2016 nor do we know the actual day and hour of the Rapture-Resurrection, then be ready and prepared like a wise virgin with your lamp burning expecting our Lord Jesus Christ to return at any moment.
