Is it time to throw out the 2008--2015 timeline?

For the past three and one-half years, I have been the leading proponent on 5 Doves, of the Fall of 2008, to the Fall of 2015, timeline for the Final 7 Years, leading up to the literal 2nd Coming of Christ. Much of this has revolved around the strong possibility that MAJOR Prophetic events would be fulfilled, no later than the mid-point of Apr. 11, 2012.

I will be the first to admit that I was wrong in these projections that no later than Apr. 11, 2012, would see the fulfillment of MAJOR events, such as the suffering of the mortal head wound of the Antichrist, and the recovery of the mortal head wound, the two witnesses beginning their 1260-day ministry, and the probability of the Rapture/Sudden Destruction.

For whatever harm you may feel was done to you with these projections, or possible harm to the Body of Christ, I personally want to apologize for my part in that. My intent was only to WARN people to get their heart right before the Lord, so that they could take part in the Rapture of the Bride of Christ, rather than the Sudden Destruction. Many have written to me, to tell me that my WARNING letters, have done just that. We praise the Lord for each of those good reports.

In one of my most recent emails to my mailing list, and to 5 Doves, I summarized many of the reasons, and what I consider compelling evidence, for the 2008--2015 timeline. Here is the link:

In light of no MAJOR Prophetic events having taken place by April 11, 2012, is it now time to throw out the 2008--2015 timeline? Several of us, including Mathman, and Gerry Almond, who believe very strongly in this timeline, have been having detailed email discussions about this topic, ever since Apr. 11th passed. We have exchanged numerous emails.

We are really down to two choices. We throw this timeline out the window, or we attempt to tweak it. Can it be tweaked? After MUCH discussion with several watchers who strongly believe in this timeline, not one has suggested that the time has come to throw this timeline out the window. If nothing MAJOR happens on the Prophetic scene SOON, we will have no choice but to throw the 2008--2015 timeline out the window. For many of you, I realize that day cannot come a day too soon.

But the consensus among us is that that day has not yet arrived. And we do not think that day will arrive. The amount of extremely compelling evidence, and the precision of this 2008--2015 (Please re-read the link above) timeline remains intact. So how can this timeline be tweaked? Here are just a few of the thoughts that have been tossed around by several of us watchers, and strong believers in the 2008--2015 timeline:

1. Almost every year, the idea is tossed around, because of the timing of the discovery of the first ripe barley in Jerusalem, that the calendar is one month off. Perhaps 2015 will prove to be one of those years, that IN GOD'S EYES the calendar will prove to be one month off. This MAY not be real likely, but it remains a possibility.

2. Perhaps the eight-day Feast of Tabernacles, rather than Feast of Atonement, will prove to be the actual 2nd Coming of Christ. This would give us a few more days for the actual start of the Final 1260-day Great Tribulation.

3. Perhaps 2nd Passover, in 2012, is the real time for the beginning of the 1260-day Great Tribulation. Day 1290 from Oct. 29, 2008, the starting point for the Final 7 Years, would be May 11, 2012, which is in the 2nd Passover Week.

4. This is by far the most important reason that our hopes for the 2008--2015 timeline remain alive and well. It is what I call the X FACTOR. We read about it in the very last chapter of Daniel, Chapter 12, verses 11--12, "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."

From verse one of this same chapter, there can be no doubt, that these verses apply to the Great Deliverance, the Rapture, and the time of the Great Tribulation. Daniel 12:1 reads, "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of thy people: and there shall be a TIME OF TROUBLE, SUCH AS NEVER WAS SINCE THERE WAS A NATION even to that same time: and AT THAT TIME THY PEOPLE SHALL BE DELIVERED, EVERY ONE WHO SHALL BE FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK."

The X FACTOR is the extra 75 days found in Daniel 12. The X FACTOR is Day 1290 and Day 1335. Just what are these days? Bible scholars have been trying to figure out the answer to that question for centuries. It appears obvious that there are 1260 days to the first half, and 1260 days to the 2nd half, of the Final 7 Years, or the 70th Week of Daniel.

But where do we factor in Day 1290 and Day 1335? Do we add them to the 1st half, or the 2nd half, or could they possibly apply to both halves? The Double Reference Principle MAY apply here. It seems very likely that there is a MAJOR Prophetic event, or events, destined to happen on Day 1290, and another MAJOR Prophetic event, or events, scheduled to happen on Day 1335.

I remain totally convinced that Oct. 29, 2008, is Day 1 of the Final 7 Years. Kevin Heckle's astounding astronomical discovery in Revelation 12 of the Rising of the Beast of the Sea, right to the minute, on that historic date, has CONFIRMED this as the starting point. This makes Apr. 11--12, as Day 1260, and May 11--12 as Day 1290. This also would make June 25--26, 2012, as Day 1335. If it is God's intention to add these extra days onto the first half of the Final 7 Years, we should expect MAJOR PROPHETIC EVENTS to transpire on these dates. June 25--26th of 2012 is the ABSOLUTE LAST DEADLINE for the start of the 1260-day Great Tribulation, if the 2008--2015 timeline is God's timeline.

The suppositions in the above paragraph make Day 2520, or 7 complete Prophetic years, to be Day of Atonement, Sept. 23, 2015. Day 1290 would be Oct. 23, 2015, and Day 1335 would be Dec. 6--7, 2015, which is a very important Biblical day of the year. It is Hanukkah Eve, Kislev 24, the day of the year when the Jews celebrate the rebuilding of their Temple. This seems to be the perfect day of the year for Jesus to begin his 1000-year reign in His New Temple, in Jerusalem. The 2008--2015 timeline remains the perfect fit, for the fulfillment of end-time Prophetic events to unfold, especially in light of Gerry Almond's 120--year timeline, that ends EXACLTY ON THIS VERY SAME DATE!!!

The bottom line is that we have 75 more days MAXIMUM, from Apr. 11--12, 2012, to watch God unfold these end-time Prophetic events. Will something MAJOR happen on Day 1290 and also on Day 1335 of the 1st half, or only the 2nd half, or will the DOUBLE REFERENCE PRINCIPLE come into play, where we see Prophetic fulfillments at the end of both halves of the Final 7 Years.

In these detailed email discussions that we have undergone, during the past 5 days, we have become well aware of the question marks that tweaking this timeline entails. In this email, I have chosen not to discuss these question marks. If indeed, this is God's 7--Year timeline, and we remain convinced that it is, these question marks will be erased with Progressive Revelation.

Because there exists a MAJOR X FACTOR, we refuse to put God in a box. Most of the suppositions that have been set forth by well-known Bible Prophecy scholars, have, so far, proven to not be correct. Their interpretation of Scripure has been wrong. Pre-conceived ideas and interpretations have proven to be incorrect, just like at the 1st Coming of Christ, when very few recognized His Coming. Most watchers continue to put God in a box, convincing themselves that their interpretations of Prophetic Scriptures cannot be wrong. Here are just a few of those very popular teachings, that are proving to be incorrect, but that remain alive and well in Bible Prophecy circles.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise that MAJOR Prophetic developments did not develop by Apr. 11, 2012. God is continuing His pattern of fulfilling His end-times events according to Scripture, but hidden to most watchers, and to almost all non-watchers. We very well could be only 30 days, or a maximum of 75 days off, in what we saw as the start of the Great Tribulation, the 1260-day reign of the Antichrist, the fleeing to the wilderness of the remnant of Jews for 1260 days, and the Sudden Destruction/Rapture.

Is there any SPECIFIC sign that we are STILL right on schedule? ABSOLUTELY!!! Everything in our timetable pointed to Apr. 11--12th as being Day 1260, the EXACT midpoint of the Final 7 Years. Did God CONFIRM this date to us? I am convinced that He did indeed CONFIRM Apr. 11--12th, as Day 1260, the midpoint of the Final 7 Years. For those of you who completely ignore ALL of the compelling evidence of the 2008--2015 timeline, you have to believe the dramatic events of Apr. 11--12th were just a coincidence. What happened on that day was hard not to see.

On Apr. 11--12, 2012, the EXACT proposed mid-point day, Day 1260 of the Final 7 Years, the Lord CONFIRMED THIS DATE TO ALL OF US. There had not been one single day with an earthquake of 8.0 magnitude, or greater, for all of 2012. God has always used large earthquakes as signs, including on the Day and Hour of Jesus' death, and another one at the time of His Resurrection. On the 101st day of the year, the projected mid-point date of the Final 7 Years, on Apr 11--12th, we not only had our very first 8-point magnitude earthquake, we had two MEGAQUAKES, measuring 8.6 and 8.2. The 8.6 MEGAQUAKE was the largest slip earthquake in recorded history.

Seismologists have been quoted as saying they have never seen a day like Apr. 11--12, of 2012. Not only did we have the first two 8-point magnitude MEGAQUAKES of the year, but we had several more large earthquakes also, including at least 5 off the West Coast of North America. Is there any doubt these are just WARNING quakes, or precursors of the Big One, that has been predicted, for several weeks now on the west coast of the United States, and many have had visions about?

But the point is that God came through, not like some of us thought He would, but He came through in His own way, and CONFIRMED APRIL 11, 2012! The X FACTOR of the extra 75 days gives us VERY REAL HOPE that the next 75 days will see the fulfillment of MAJOR PROPHETIC DEVELOPMENTS, including the Rapture/Sudden Destruction. Many of us remain very optimistic, filled with anticipation and excitement, at the likelihood of the Raptue of the Bride in the VERY NEAR future.

Please read Mathman's post and Gerry Almond's post, both of which should appear on 5 Doves today, for further optimism for the 2008--2015 timeline. We have discussed many different dates during the past 5 days that could see the fulfillment of the Rapture of the Bride, during the next 75 days. My personal favorite is now May 26--27, Feast of Pentecost.

p.s. The possibility exists, that we shall see the death, or resignation of the Pope, in the very near future, to pave the way for his successor to come onto the scene to possibly fulfill his pre-destined role as the False Prophet. This is not a prediction, or a Prophecy.
