Lauren said: 1) On September 15, 1947, unbeknown
to NO ONE, the 1st of the "62" weeks of Daniel 9:25's "62"+"7"+"1"= 70
weeks, began its COUNT UP TO it's 62nd and last week on September
18, 2009
First of all, the 62 weeks do
not come first in Dan. 9:25. Second of all,
choosing to count 62 years (again, out of order) from Rosh Hashanah "1947"
means nothing. And nothing "significant" happened on Rosh
Hashanah 2009 either. It is a fabrication without meaning. The
"significance" is conjured up in citing 62 years from absolutely nothing to
absolutely nothing.
Lauren said: 2.) On November 29, 1947 A
UN "proclamation" went out saying that Israel would be granted
statehood. It fulfilled Daniel's words when he
proclaimed, "Seventy weeks" are determined upon your people and upon your
holy city". The UN proclamation on 11-29-1947 fulfilled the "your people"
part of the verse.
It did nothing of the sort! It was not a
"proclamation!" It was a 'Resolution' -a
formal expression of
opinion or
intention- for the Jews
to prepare to implement a Jewish State....which was the
fulfillment of the 1897 First Zionist Congress,
inspired by Theodor Herzl's vision of the Jewish State. This was no more (and no
less) significant than the League of Nations 1917 Balfour Declaration which gave explicit international
recognition to the historic connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and
their right to reconstitute their National Home. So why not start counting
30 years earlier, from 1917 instead of 1947, for all the significance 62
years supposedly had? That would bring you to 1979 - wow! ....which
is about as much significance as 2009 had...which is to
say NONE! My point is, there is nothing significant about
counting 62 years from 1947 to 2009. It means nothing to the
timeline.
However, let's
re-address November 29, 1947. The Holocaust proved the
need for the re-establishment of the Jewish State, which would endow
the Jewish people with a Homeland; so the U.N. adopted a Resolution
requiring the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine, and advised
the Jews to take all the necessary steps on their part to put the plan into
effect and on May 14, 1948 the State of Israel was declared.
Lauren said: 3.) On May 14, 1948 Israel was
declared a nation.
Since Lauren has already
established in her own mind that the 62 year count began with the November 29, 1947 UN "proclamation"
that went out saying Israel would be granted statehood.....so what makes May 14, 1948 significant to her
timeline (again out of order in counting) of "62+7+1=70"?
Nothing.
HOWEVER,
May 14, 1948 is significant to SOMETHING! It began
the COUNT for the parable of the FIG
TREE. The 'count' would be based on when the Fig Tree
would become "mature" - meaning to reach the Age of Accountability &
National Service, which, as established under the Law of Moses during the
first time Israel was called a Nation, is 20 years of age. Lo and
behold, Israel was 19 in May 1967 but within less than a month into her
20th year, Israel took hold of National responsibility and
reunified Jerusalem for the first time in 2,000 years! This
confirms that the timeline is on track with the parable of the Fig
Tree...not Daniel's 70 Weeks.
Lauren said: 4.) On June 6, 1967, during the 'six day
war' Jerusalem was turned over to Israel, fulfilling the "your holy city" part
of Daniel 9:25.
This statement is an errant and insignificant
justification regarding Lauren's timeline of "70 weeks determined for
thy holy city." Just how does this fit in with any counting
at all....apart from the Fig Tree, which is not part of her equation
anyway?
Lauren said: 5.) On October 5, 1967 the FIRST
WEEK of SEVEN-seven week Sabbatical cycles totaling 49 weeks
began.
Rosh Hashanah, Oct. 5, 1967 was NOT the "start of
a Sabbatical cycle."
Counting backward from Rosh Hashanah 2000 (the end of
6,000 yrs. and start of the 7th Day/Sabbath
Year/7th Millennium) we know that the Sabbath
cycles are in the years
2000/2001....1993/1994....1986/1987....1979/1980....1972/1973....1965/1966 ---
NOT in 1967. Lauren declares a Sabbath cycle
started on Oct. 5, 1967 only to "fit" her timeline of 7x7=49 years to
establish her contention that On October 12/13, 2016
the Jubilee year begins in the Millennial reign. However, her further error is not understanding that the Lord
must return in a Sabbath Year and that that year will be a Sabbath REST, with
the Jubilee Year following the Sabbath, as is necessary. Besides that, where is
the last "1 week" in this equation that ends in 2016?
Consequently, the ONLY
beginning Sabbath Year cycle in which the Lord will return is 2014/2015,
with the Jubilee Year following in 2015/2016....unless you desire to wait until
2021-2022? This SABBATH cycle timeline "fits" with the ending of the
Three Weeks of Jacob's Trouble, the LAST WEEK, the 70th
Week.....not a "70 Weeks timeline."
Lauren said: 6.) On September 19, 2009 the first
week of the "7" of Daniel 9:25's "62"+"7"+"1"=70 weeks began its COUNT UP TO the
"69th" and last week that ended on October 4, 2016.
Again, you cannot change the order of historical events
from 7+62+1=70 weeks to "62+7+1=70"!!! And again, 1947+62
years=2009 means nothing; just as 2009+7 years=2016 (NOT a Sabbatical year
at all!) means nothing. And in all of this,
again, just WHERE is the last "1 week of 7 years"
then???
Lauren said: 7.) During this September 19, 2009 week,
the 1st week of the LAST SEVEN-seven weeks of 49 Sabbatical weeks also
began its COUNT OUT TO October 4, 2016
....EXCEPT that Rosh HaShanah 2016 is NOT a Sabbatical
Year! Explain that away!
The Lord must return in a SABBATH Year, not a Jubilee
Year which follows!
Lauren said: 8.) On October 12/13, 2016 the Jubilee
year begins in the Millennial reign.
If this is when Christ "returns", what happened to the
Sabbatical Year of REST? Lauren proposes Christ returns
in a year that is NOT a Sabbatical Year and on top of that, claims after only
ten days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur, wahlaaa - the Millennial Reign
begins???.....yet neither Rosh Hashanah NOR Yom Kippur 2016 is
in a Sabbatical Year at all!!!
No, Lauren's "70 Weeks timeline" requires that the
70 Weeks that are determined for Israel would start all over
again with the "proclamation of a resolution" for a state of
Israel (1947) - leaving out the FACT that the whole purpose of the
historical 7 weeks was to re-establish/restore the people and the
holy city from Babylonian captivity, and the 62 weeks were for
Christ's First Advent, and after the total
of 69 weeks Christ would FULFILL THE FOUR SPRING FEASTS, coming
as the Former Rain, pouring out His Spirit. The last three
feasts will be fulfilled by his 2nd coming as he literally comes to earth to
bring his kingdom and rule the nations.
It is so far proven that the
timeline based on the Three Weeks of Jacob's Trouble (showing
the START of the Timeline), and the parable of the Fig Tree, and all of the
historic analogy associated with the details in accordance with the modern,
present-day history of Israel/Jacob have been right on the mark, right
down to the exact FEAST DAYS and SABBATHS they were fulfilled. And
there has been NO changing or wresting of dates or counting to make
them "fit" anything....including the Sabbath
Years. AND there has been a recently seen
confirmation of the John 7 passage indicating that Jesus, previously hidden,
suddenly appeared "about the midst of the feast" - in other words the MIDDLE OF
THE WEEK, aka the 4th day/year. So, get ready --- we
are now in the 4th, middle, midst of the Week!!!! Right now a lot of
people are asking, as the Jews did in John 7:11, "Where is
he?" Well, he is about to "appear" in about 4
months...before the exact middle of the Week when the
Abomination of Desolation takes place.!
So, in conclusion, I will re-iterate below the
timeline as simply as I can...but for details, charts, commentaries,
please go to Godstimeline.com.
Timeline:
* 6,000 years ended at Rosh Hashanah 2000 and the 7th Day/The Last Day/The
Sabbath Day began.
*The 7th Day (Jewish New Year of 2001) is the Sabbath Day which began
a new Sabbath Year cycle. >>> 2000-2001, 20007-2008,
2014-2015.
* At Rosh HaShanah 2007-2008, the Sabbath Year & 70th Week of
Daniel began.
This is in accordance and agreement with the Third Week of Jacob's Trouble
from which Jacob/Israel shall be saved out of. The analogy following these
Three Weeks thus far has been exact and true right down to the Rosh HaShanah's
of 1993-1994, 2000-2001, and 2007-2008, which all began with Sabbath
cycles.
* The whole 4th year of the 7 Years of the 70th Week is the
middle year....thus, on our Gregorian calendar, Rosh HaShanah
2010 is the Jewish new year of 2011, or 5771 .....THUS, WE ARE
NOW IN THE 4th YEAR, i.e. IN THE MIDST
OF THE 70TH WEEK.
In John 7 we read "Now the
Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand." That 'Tabernacles was at
hand' is not the issue....we are NOT saying the
Rapture is "at hand" during the Feast of Tabernacles!
The issue is that
at Tabernacles one was required, one was EXPECTED, to SHOW
UP . Jesus told his disciples "Go ye up
unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full
come." He knew the Jewish leaders sought to
kill him. So "he abode still in Galilee."
Now his disciples had already
left for the feast, and "then went he also up unto
the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret."
Verses 11-13 shows that many of
the Jews looked for him. They knew it was required to attend the feast but
they did not see him. "They sought him at the
feast and said Where is he? And there was much murmuring among the people
concerning him" and though they wondered and
sought him and spoke about him, they did so quietly, not openly, for they were
afraid of the Jews (Jewish leaders.)
They apparently looked for him
on Day One, Day Two, and
Day Three of the feast and did not see him.....JUST
AS many Doves have been looking for Jesus during these last 3 years, even
not knowing it is already the 70th Week. But in verse 14, all of a sudden
he appears!>>>"NOW ABOUT THE MIDST OF THE
FEAST JESUS WENT UP INTO THE TEMPLE, AND TAUGHT."
Do you see the significance of
this? Everybody was looking for him for they knew he MUST attend the feast
- he must COME! But he was nowhere to be seen.
Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere IN THE MIDST OF THE FEAST - THE 4TH
DAY!!! - MID-WEEK - MID-POINT!!!! JESUS
APPEARS AND GOES UP INTO THE TEMPLE.
Do you yet see the
significance? We have just entered the midst of the week - the 4th year -
the mid-point! We have not seen him yet.....but all of a sudden he will
appear - and we will go up into the temple in heaven with him!
I see this as a
confirmation of the Three Weeks of Jacob's Trouble Timeline. Many do not
even yet know "what time it is." They are still waiting for the 70th
Week/so-called 7 year Tribulation to start. They are waiting for a
Sabbath that has already begun. They are still looking forward
to the "Last Day", the "Lord's Day" which has already begun! But
we are already there! One day, two days, three days (each for a year) have
already gone by! We are in the midst of the week!!! - the 4th day
is NOW!
Sometime before the
exact mid-point of the 70th Week (March 2011):
* there will be war in heaven and satan will be cast down to
earth.
*When Satan, the Accuser
of the brethren, is no longer accusing, Christ will descend from heaven in the
air and the Resurrection of the Dead-in-Christ and the Rapture of living
believers will be caught up to him in the clouds.
*The two witnesses will descend
to begin their 1260 day ministry. They MUST arrive before the 1260 day
"great tribulation" begins because, though their ministry is the same length of
time as the great tribulation, the antichrist kills them BEFORE the great
tribulation ends! Therefore, they must be resurrected before the end of
the 1260 days of 'great tribulation.'
*Satan is
granted 42 months/1260 days to 'continue,"
and thus empowers the antichrist to do his bidding....beginning with the
abomination that makes desolate.
ALL of these things: the war
in heaven, the Resurrection/Rapture, satan cast out of heaven, the appearance of
the two witnesses, the abomination of desolation --- all of these things
take place in the 4th year of the 70th Week > "IN THE MIDST
OF."
John 7 shows us that Jesus is
HERE NOW! This is HIS DAY, the 7th DAY, THE LAST DAY, the SABBATH
DAY! All things will be accomplished in this HIS DAY. Remember, in
Genesis, the 7th Day does not begin and end as the others do - there is "no
evening and no morning" stated for the 7th day, the Sabbath. It is because
it belongs to the Lord! It encompasses much more than the 1,000 year
Kingdom. It includes the last Week of 7 years designated for ISRAEL, in
order to bring them to Redemption!!!
WE ARE NOW IN THE MIDST OF
THE WEEK, BEFORE JESUS WILL APPEAR! We are looking for him, watching
for him even NOW.....but knowing he cannot come until the Accuser is taken out
of the way of the Throne of God where he has been accusing living believers day
and night, in other words CONTINOUSLY!
Soon he will not be able to accuse us
anymore for he not only will be cast out of heaven, we will go up as he
comes down.
Wake up! The Bridegroom
is coming - we know he is - even before we hear the shout we are expecting it
for we know the time he is expected! Jesus is LORD OF THE SABBATH -
the Sabbath has already begun and he is on his way! When he returns
in The Second Coming He will then be annointed and crowned King
of Kings and Lord of Lords on Rosh HaShanah 2014 WHICH IS A SABBATH
YEAR!.....THE LORD OF THE SABBATH, MUST TAKE HIS THRONE ON THE
SABBATH!
Why do we know 2014 is
the Sabbath Year (of rest?) Because when the 6th Day ended at
Rosh HaShanah 2000, THE 7TH DAY, THE SABBATH DAY, BEGAN! We know how
to count off the years, 6 and then the 7th, the Sabbath - and following the
Sabbath Year of Rest will be the Lord's JUBILEE!!! NOT your average
run-of-the-mill-Jewish Jubilee where (if the Jews had kept it) they would have
returned all things to the original owner, cancelled debts, freed their slaves,
etc. etc. NO! The Year of the Lord's Jubilee is when ALL THINGS
- HIS WHOLE CREATION, AND HIS PEOPLE WILL BE RETURNED TO HIM - THE RIGHTFUL
OWNER, THE CREATOR HIMSELF - THE LORD'S JUBILEE at Rosh HaShanah
2015-2016.
For those advocating a 70 year
plan from Israel's birth in 1948 (or even in 1947???) - well, you're wrong
because you are not following first of all the Sabbath schedule and second of
all, the already fulfilled types, shadows, histories, and analogies that were
given to us so we could know the timeline as it began and is unfolding before
our very eyes. The Jews missed His crucial timing the first time -
don't miss it the second time. The Three 7's - Three Weeks of Jacob's
Trouble - has been being fulfilled down to the very exact DAY since Rosh
HaShanah 1993. It hasn't missed a beat.
Shalom and until, Sherry Vance
