Hi:
> > if we are
still here what then?? if
the mid point of the
“seventieth week” is the
11th then we should be gone
then. But if we are still
here does it mean that the
seventieth week hasn’t
started or did you make a
booboo in your calculations
or what?? Paul
Unlike
Ron Reese and other
like-minded people, I don’t
think April 11, 2012, is the
true mid-point of the
Tribulation. I think it will
be Nov. 8/9, 2012. They must
not have studied the Hebrew
Calendar very much. I
studied it enough to be able
to reconstruct the calendar
back from 1BC to 5 BC one
time.
Counting
the Tribulation as being
1260 + 1260 days HAS TO BE
ESTIMATED TIME on the Hebrew
Calendar. It is like saying
3.5 years. No actual
3.5-year span of time
actually has 1260 days, or
42 x 30-day months, or 3.5 x
360-day years. In that span
of time, we would have had
one or two leap years with a
13th month.
As for days in a
month, they vary. There are
12 or 13 months that can
have 29 or 30 days. Here is
the way they vary. Nisan
(always 30), Iyar
(always 29), Sivan
(always 30), Tammuz
(always 29), Av
(always 30), Elul
(always 29), Tishri
(always 30), Cheshvan
(29 or 30), Kislev
(29 or 30), Tevet
(always 29), Shevat
(always 30), and Adar
(always 29). Like last year,
the leap years have 13
months. Adar I is added
after Shevat, and the
regular Adar is changed to
Adar II (always 29).
No year has 360
days. There can only be 353,
354, 355, 383, 384, or 385
days in a year.
Ex 23:16 says that
the season of the fall Feast
of Tabernacles (Sukkoth),
is called "the end of the
year." The Sacred Year
always begins with Nisan 1
in the spring. Therefore,
the first day of the Sacred,
Regnal and Jubilee Years are
always Nisan 1. It is the
coming of the next Jubilee
Year that is always
announced on the previous
Day of Atonement so people
can make plans for the
Jubilee Year ahead of time.
Jesus’ birthday was
Tishri 1, when the sign of
Rev 12 was in the sky. He
announced the Jubilee Year
on the Day of Atonement near
his birthday in 27 AD. The
Jubilee was in 28 AD. He was
crucified on Thursday, Nisan
13, 3790, April 6, 30 AD. He
died about 3 PM when the
priests were beginning to
kill the Passover lambs at
the Temple. Those lambs had
to be baked and eaten before
midnight on Passover,
Friday, Nisan 14. If they
hadn’t been eaten by
midnight, six hours after
Nisan 14 began, when they
were in Egypt, their
firstborn would have died.
Back to our
subject, there are always 7
days in a week, and Sabbatic
years are always every 7th
year. Those have never
varied. The Jubilee Cycle is
a 49-year cycle. The 50th
year is always the first day
of the new cycle. If it
wasn’t that way, the
Sabbatic Years and the
Jubilee Years would fall out
of sync. There are always 7
Sabbatic years followed by a
Jubilee year, which is day 1
of the new cycle.
I
count the first half of the
Tribulation as 1260 days,
and think the last half of
the
Tribulation will be
shortened to 1040 days. That
puts Mid-Trib on Nov 8/9,
2012, figuring the 2300 days
by inclusive reckoning,
because it is a block of
time. Even this may not plot
Mid-Trib perfectly, but it
will be close enough for
people to identify the False
Prophet when he sits in the
Temple presenting himself as
God.
2Th 2:4 says,
“Who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is
called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as
God sitteth in the temple
of God, shewing himself
that he is God.” Fri,
preparation of the
Sabbath, Nov 9, 2012 = Cheshvan
24, 5773.
“AT THE TIME OF THE
END SHALL BE THE VISION”
We are living in
the time of the end. Dan
8:13-17 says, “Then I heard
one saint speaking, and
another saint said unto that
certain saint which spake,
How long shall be the vision
concerning the daily
sacrifice, and the
transgression of desolation,
to give both the sanctuary
and the host to be trodden
under foot? 14 And he said
unto me, Unto two thousand
and three hundred days; then
shall the sanctuary be
cleansed. 15 And it came to
pass, when I, even I Daniel,
had seen the vision, and
sought for the meaning,
then, behold, there stood
before me as the appearance
of a man. 16 And I heard a
man's voice between the
banks of Ulai, which called,
and said, Gabriel, make this
man to understand the
vision. 17 So he came near
where I stood: and when he
came, I was afraid, and fell
upon my face: but he said
unto me, UNDERSTAND, O SON
OF MAN: FOR AT THE TIME OF
THE END SHALL BE THE
VISION.”
I think “THE TIME
OF THE END” represents the
whole 2300-day Tribulation.
We are
living in the time of the
end. I think the Tribulation
began on Pentecost, May 29,
2009, and will end on the
Day of God’s Wrath, the
Feast of Trumpets, Sept 14,
2015. The vision
is for THE time of the end.
Gabriel said it. There is no
way we can get around it.
Therefore, we should take it
into consideration when
figuring the length of the
Tribulation, which is the
specific TIME OF THE END.
Using
estimated time (30 days in a
month, 12 months in a year,
360 days in a year, 1260
days in 3.5 years), Ron
Reece figures that there are
1260 days in the first half
of the Tribulation (which he
starts on Oct 29, 2008) and
1260 days in the last half
(which he ends on the Day of
Atonement, Sept 23, 2015).
However,
Scripture says that the last
half is to be shortened.
2300 - 1260 = 1040.
Therefore, subtracting 1040
days from the Day of God’s
Wrath, the Feast of
Trumpets, Sept 14, 2015, I
get Sept 8, 2012. Adding
1260 days to the beginning
of the Tribulation,
Pentecost, May 29, 2009, is
Nov 9, because the 2300-day
block of time should be
figured by inclusive
reckoning.
I think the Day of
God’s Wrath has to be on the
Feast of Trumpets. Joel
1
:15 says, “Alas for
the day! for the DAY OF THE
LORD is at hand, and as a
DESTRUCTION from the
Almighty shall it come.”
Joel
2:1-11 says, “Blow
ye the TRUMPET in Zion,
and sound an alarm in my
holy mountain: let all the
inhabitants of the land
tremble: for the DAY OF
THE LORD cometh, for it is
nigh at hand; 2 A day of
darkness and of
gloominess, a day of
clouds and of thick
darkness, as the morning
spread upon the mountains:
a great people and a
strong (Gog’s army); there
hath not been ever the
like, neither shall be any
more after it, even to the
years of many generations.
3 A fire devoureth before
them; and behind them a
flame burneth: the land is
as the garden of Eden
before them, and behind
them a desolate
wilderness; yea, and
nothing shall escape them.
4 The appearance of them
is as the appearance of
horses; and as horsemen,
so shall they run. :5 Like
the noise of chariots on
the tops of mountains
shall they leap, like the
noise of a flame of fire
that devoureth the
stubble, as a strong
people set in battle
array. 6 Before their face
the people shall be much
pained: all faces shall
gather blackness. 7 They
shall run like mighty men;
they shall climb the wall
like men of war; and they
shall march every one on
his ways, and they shall
not break their ranks: 8
Neither shall one thrust
another; they shall walk
every one in his path: and
when they fall upon the
sword, they shall not be
wounded. 9 They shall run
to and fro in the city;
they shall run upon the
wall, they shall climb up
upon the houses; they
shall enter in at the
windows like a thief. 10
The earth shall quake
before them; the heavens
shall tremble: the sun and
the moon shall be dark (as
in Rev 6:12-17), and the
stars shall withdraw their
shining: 11 And the LORD
shall utter his voice
before his army: for his
camp is very great: for he
is strong that executeth
his word: for the DAY OF
THE LORD is great and very
terrible; and who can
abide it?”
As I see it, the
Day of the Lord, which is
the Day of God’s Wrath is
the Feast of Trumpets, Sept
14, 2015. The two asteroids
of Rev 8:8-11 will impact
Earth that day. The Sign of
the Son of Man will appear
in the sky. Jesus will be
seen sitting on his throne,
because that will be the
first day of his millennial
reign. He will purge his
kingdom at the outset, as
Solomon, the son of David,
did. The Israelites that are
left will repent and keep
the Day of Atonement, Sept
23, 2015. Since every wall
will fall in the worldwide
earthquake (Eze 38:18f), the
Israelites will have to
erect hastily built booths
out of scraps to sleep in
and to celebrate the Feast
of Tabernacles.
I think that Feast
of Trumpets will also be the
day of the Last-Trump
Rapture (I Cor 15:51-54; Rev
6:17, 7:14). No wonder God
will wipe away their tears,
they will get out of here by
the skin of their teeth
before the asteroid hits.
That will be Jesus’
(Joshua’s from the Hebrew)
Long Day, of which Joshua’s
Long Day was a type. Earth
will be turned upside down
that day. It will take some
time for it to regain its
equilibrium. Every wall will
fall, so cities will be in
shambles.
Rev 16:19-21
says, ”And the great city
(Jerusalem) was divided
into three parts, and the
cities of the nations
fell: and great Babylon
came in remembrance before
God, to give unto her the
cup of the wine of the
fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every
island fled away, and the
mountains were not found.
21 And
there fell upon men a
great hail out of heaven,
every stone about the
weight of a talent: and
men blasphemed God because
of the plague of the hail;
for the plague thereof was
exceeding great.”
