John and Doves,

Here's another calculation which points to rapture in 2023.


Let's start with the year of Exodus. Solomon died in 928 BC. This is very important that he died in 928 BC. Solomon reigned for 40 years.
 It places 968 BC as the first year of his reign ( 928 BC + 40 years ). In his fourth year , which is 964 BC, he began to build the temple. From 1 Kings 6:1, 964 BC is the 480th year since Israelis left Egypt. 964 BC is 480th year, 965 BC is the 479th year,
 966 BC is the 478th year,....... 1443 BC is the 1st year they left Egypt. Exodus tool place in 1443 BC.


From my post "Where are we now since Adam", Israelis left Egypt in year 2538 since Adam.


Year 2538 from Adam = 1443 BC.


Abraham is born in year 1948 from Adam. God calls Abraham when he is 75 years old. Adding 75 years to 1948, God calls Abraham in year 2023
 from Adam. Let's convert year 2023 to Gregorian system.


2538 - 2023 = 515 years.


Adding 515 years to 1443 BC, we have 1958 BC as the year God calls Abraham ( Genesis 12:1-4). That year is the beginning of old testament
 and Israelis history.

Jesus was crucified in 33 AD. Since 33 AD, the Jews are no longer bound to the Law to get saved. Salvation is given to the Jews and gentiles
 in 33 AD. 33 AD is the threshold between old testament and new testament. >From God's calling on Abraham in 1958 BC which is the beginning of old testament era, to the new covenant is established in 33 AD, there have been 1990 years ( 1958 + 32 ( 33 -1 ) ).
 Now, if God reserves the same period of 1990 years for new testament era, then 2023 AD should be the end of age of grace ( 33 AD + 1990 years = 2023 AD ). Below is the illustration.


1958 BC. God calls Abraham, old testament era begins, ------- 1990 years of old testament------- 33 AD, A new covenant is established, birth
 of church ----------- 1990 years of new testament -------- 2023 AD, end of new testament, end of age of grace. God calls the church home in 2023 AD

A note here. If Solomon died in 926 BC, or 925 BC, this calculation cannot have two equally period between old testament and new testament
 era. It will be off by few years. It is because year 2023 is the year God calls Abraham. It is a fixated year, and can't be changed regardless of which year Solomon died.. Having said this, I am very confident that Solomon did die in 928 BC in order to have
 two equally period of old testament and new testament.
