Why should we be so confident that the Tribulation, the Final 7 Years of human history, before the Millennium, or the 1000-year reign of Christ, will start in the Fall of 2025? Hang with me, as I am about to show you. Since the 1990's, I have written dozens and dozens of posts to Five Doves, but only one in the last 4 or 5 years, about 10 months ago. That post was about this same topic of the Fall of 2025, and about Barack Hussein Obama, or his wife, possibly becoming President of the U.S. Obviously, that did not come true, so, in future posts, we will examine other possibilities of how Obama can come into power as the future Antichrist, in order to confirm the covenant of Daniel 9:27, which should be the first event of the Final 7 Years. I can still say, with all confidence, that Obama will soon become the Antichrist. The reason that I have stopped writing for a few years is because everything was pointing to 2025. It is my intention to write a post every week, or two, until Jesus comes to take us home to Heaven, probably in a few more months, possibly less.
Before I lose some of you because you do not believe that we can know the time, the verse we have all been referred to that no man knows the day or the hour may not be referring to the Rapture, and it only says day and hour. Most Christians try to stretch "day and hour" into, " We cannot know the century, decade, year, month, or week. This is a very popular viewpoint, but it is not Scriptural. Both Matthew 24:33 and Mark 13:29 tell us "that when you see these things happening KNOW that it is NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS." Also, there will be nothing in this post about the day or hour of the Rapture, or the day or hour of the start of the 7-Year Tribulation.
There are certainly several dozen reasons, and probably hundreds, why, as watchmen, and watchwomen, we believe that Jesus is coming very, very soon. Israel is God's prophetic time clock and the Word of God tells us that the generation that sees Israel become a nation shall not pass away. That became a reality on May 14, 1948. That was 77 years ago. The longest generation that I can find in the Bible is 80 years. I have never seen, in all of my 50+ years of studying Bible Prophecy, so much talk about the nearness of nuclear World War 3. SIGNS, SIGNS, EVERYWHERE SIGNS!
But none of the above signs confirm to us that 2025 will be the year that the Final 7 Years begin. Yet many Bible watchmen, and not just me, are firmly convinced that we have every reason to believe that 2025 is the year. In upcoming posts, I will be quoting from some of them, In today's post, I will be quoting much from just one such watchwoman. Hang with me, as I am getting there. The watchwoman's name was Bonnie Gaunt, author of 15 amazing books on Bible gematria, God's numbering system, and end-times Bible Prophecy. I will be quoting much from Bonnie's last astounding book, written in 2010, two years before her death in 2012, at the age of 82. Her best and final book is entitled, "The Dawn of Earth's Great Millennium". You will soon read how totally convinced Bonnie is that the Final 7 Years will begin THIS YEAR in 2025!!!
Quoting from the back cover of her next-to-last book, "Author, Bonnie Gaunt, has been researching and writing about the Bible's number code, (Gematria) for more than 40 years. She has appeared as a guest of Pat Robertson on the 700 Club, as well as on many television documentaries and radio interviews. Her work has received worldwide acclaim."
I graduated from both Western Michigan University in 1971 and Anchor Bay Bible Institute in 1979. I soon discovered that my calling was as a Bible watchman (Ezekiel 33). I have preached in dozens of churches on end-times Bible Prophecy, and have written very many newsletters and posts, for almost 50 years, to several thousands of people on my mailing lists. At a Bible Prophecy Conference in Niagra Falls, New York, in 1989, Jack Van Impe was the impetus in starting my Bible Prophecy tract ministry, endorsing, during his message, my very first tract. I went on to write over 55 different Prophecy tracts, with over 9 and one-half million tracts currently in circulation. Annually, at the God's News Behind the News International Bible Prophecy Conference throughout the whole decade of the 1990's, we were the only ministry to be given our own display table besides the speakers. I have written dozens and dozens of posts to Five Doves over the past 3 decades.
I say these things, not to uplift myself, God forbid, but for the same reason I am giving you much background on Bonnie Gaunt, which is to give this post as much credibility as possible. The more credibility that Bonnie and I have, the more effective for God's Kingdom this post will be. JESUS IS COMING VERY, VERY, VERY SOON! Only this time He is coming, not to be born as a human and die for our sins. He is coming to judge the world. It is our duty, as born-again Christians, to WARN as many people as possible. The worst time in mankind's history is staring this sin-filled world right in the face. Those people who are here during the Final 7 Years will be forced to take the Mark of the Beast in order to buy or sell ANYTHING. Even though that might not take place until the midpoint of the Final 7 Years, the catastrophic effects of nuclear weapons being unleashed will probably be here sooner than that. The Bible is very clear that everyone who takes the Mark is selling their soul to Satan and the Antichrist and thereby is subjecting themselves to an eternity in Hell. We all need to let that sink in, as very few of us are WARNING people. Yet we all know people, including friends and relatives, who are not spiritually ready to meet Jesus. Is the Lord giving you people right now that He wants you to warn?
Bonnie Gaunt and I met in early 1999. We both were very surprised to realize that we were both from the same county of Jackson, Michigan, and that we were probably the two most interested and accomplished watchmen and watchwomen in the county. Within a few weeks, we had started an end-time Bible Prophecy Conference in our county. We met every Saturday evening for the whole summer for thirteen weeks. Bonnie would teach and show slide presentations and then I would preach. Attendance was between 40 and 90 people each night. Great altar services. We were teaching and preaching that the 6000-year plan for mankind would probably be over in a few more weeks.
But, alas, it was not. Like most watchmen, we thought that God's plan for mankind was supposed to be over around the year 2000. I continued my calling as a Biblical watchman, but stopped writing tracts. I was burned out, and the cost for publishing and mailing tracts became too expensive. But more than that, I was a very disillusioned Biblical watchman. It was pretty unanimous among Bible Prophecy students that near the year 2000 was the end of 6000 years from the creation of Adam and Eve and also the end of 2000 years from the birth of Christ. Everything seemed to line up perfectly for Jesus to return around that time.
In another post, hopefully soon, I will be explaining why the 6000-year plan for mankind (7000 years when we count the Millennium) is so Biblical. God is such a God of numbers. With a college degree in Accounting, when I found out that every number in the Bible has a meaning and that meaning is consistent throughout the Scripture, I was totally fascinated. Therefore, I could not understand, as the years went by into the 2000's, why Jesus had not returned yet several years after the Year 2000. I did not lose faith in God, but I remained disillusioned.
Eleven years after our meetings in 1999, Bonnie Gaunt wrote her final book. It is the book that I will be quoting from to cap off this post. It is absolutely stunning and amazing. As her fascinating book was on its way to me in the mail, Bonnie called me on the phone and she was really, really excited. I want everybody to understand that Bonnie was one of the most diligent researchers and writers who ever existed. Several hundred hours of serious research went into each one of her 15 books. God has revealed so very, very much to Bonnie, and we are blessed that she has shared it all with us. I feel so very, very blessed to have known this awesome and accomplished lady. I pray that you will allow her to be a blessing to you as you read her quotes about 2032 being the end of the Tribulation and the Year of the 2nd Coming of Christ.
During her phone call to me, she began to explain to me why 1999-2000 was not the end of God's actual plan. She said that we just thought the 6000-year plan was for mankind, but it was not. God's 6000-year plan was for JESUS. For the first few years of Adam's and Eve's creation, they had no need for a Saviour. It was not until Adam and Eve first sinned in the garden of Eden, that mankind had a need for a Saviour. ADAM'S AND EVE'S FIRST SIN WAS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE 6000-PLAN FOR JESUS, NOT THE TIME OF THEIR CREATION!!! According to Bonnie' excellent research, in 2032, we will reach the 2000-Year point between the death of Jesus and the 2nd Coming of Jesus! Also, according to her excellent research, we will reach the 6000-year point when mankind first had need of a Saviour, after mankind's first sin. It will be 6000 years EXACTLY. It will not be approximately. It will not be almost 6000 years. We serve a very, very mathematical God. Nobody has known that better than Bonnie Gaunt. My disillusionment is now gone. Bonnie's explanation and her very last book, "The Dawn of Earth's Great Millennium" have made everything about God's 6000-Year plan for Jesus, not for mankind, very clear. I pray that it makes it clear to you also.
In Bonnie's writings, she does not focus on the Rapture, but on the start of the Millennium, which she believes will be on, or around, the Spring Feast Days of 2033. I believe the Lord will not start His 1000-Year reign immediately upon His 2nd Coming in the Fall of 2032. We already know, from the Book of Daniel, there will be an extra 75 days for some reason after the 2nd Coming of Christ. It is not difficult to imagine a gap of a few more weeks before the actual start of the Millennium. The Judgment of the Nations, and possibly the rebuilding of the new Temple for Jesus to reign in could have to take place first. The marriage supper of the Lamb and the training and assignments for us in the Millennial Kingdom has to take some time. It is not hard to see how there is probably going to be a gap before the Millennial Kingdom actually begins. We should expect the start of the 42-month Great Tribulation to start some time in 2029, which is a year that Bonnie refers to often in this book. Jesus died on Feast of Passover, in 33 A.D. Therefore, the Millennium should start on, or around Feast of Passover in 2033, even though we should expect Jesus' 2nd Coming to take place in the Fall of 2032.
Prepare now to be challenged about the reality of everything pointing to the Fall of 2025 to start the Final 7 Years and the Millennium to start around Feast of Passover, 2033. We should be excited if we are ready for the first Rapture but also challenged to be warning people who are not ready. Thank God that Bonnie was able to receive this exciting info before she passed away two years after completing this awe-inspiring book. Here are some of her most revealing and exciting quotes. Please remember that Bonnie never wrote anything without thorough study and research and revelation from God.
I will start by explaining Bonnie's graph on page 91, where she shows three 33 and one-half year periods. The first is Adam's creation in the autumn of 4002 B.C. to Adam's first sin in the spring of 3968 B.C. Bonnie may be the first person to discover this. The second period is more common. It shows the birth of Jesus in the autumn of 2 B.C. to the death of Jesus in the spring of 33 A.D. There is no Year zero. The third period runs from the autumn of 1999 A.D., when Jesus takes David's throne (which she explains in this book) until Divine Government, or the start of the Millennium, in the spring of 2033 A.D.
On Page 93, quoting from Hosea 6, "After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will restore us (Israel), that we may live in His presence." "According to this prophecy, God will begin to heal Israel and bind up her wounds after two days--after 2000 years. And on the third day they will be restored. Two thousand years (two days) from when the divorce (of Israel) was finalized brings us to Passover of 2033. There is hidden within the Word of God several amazing confirmations of the year of 2033. Hosea 6:1,2 says, "He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has injured us, but He will bind up our wounds. After two days He will revive us; on the third day." "Amazingly, the portion of this promise has a Gematria value of 2033, PINPOINTING THE EXACT YEAR and confirming the exact time given us in the surface text. IT DOESN'T GET MUCH PLAINER THAN THAT."
On Page 94, continuing from the last paragraph, Bonnie says, "But this is not an isolated case. Let's look further. Isaiah 61:8-9 says, "everlasting covenant with them. Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. This passage also has a Gematria value of 2033. From Jeremiah 3, "for I am your husband. I will choose you--one from a town" "Amazingly, this passage, (referring to Israel at the start of the Millennium) also has a Gematria value of 2033.")
From Isaiah11:11-12, "of the sea. He will raise a banner for the nations, and gather the exiles of Israel; He will assemble the scattered people of Judah" "This beautiful prophecy also has a Gematria of 2033." Many Scriptures that refer to Israel returning to their God also have a Gematria value of 2029, which is the year that should start the 3 and one-half year Great Tribulation. This is when the Antichrist will abandon Israel and force them to look to God for their protection. The spring of 2029 is also the year when Obama will turn 66.6 years old. I could give you so much more from this awesome and exciting book, but this post has gone on long enough.
"The Dawn of Earth's Great Millennium" is the name of this book. The last page of this great book says this book may be ordered from http://www.sonstoglory.com/bonniegaunt If that does not work, the back page of her previous book says Order From: Adventures Unlimited Press, P.O Box 74, Kempton, IL 60946 Telephone: 815-253-6390 Email: auphq@frontiernet.net www.adventuresunlimitedpress.com This book is available, but I do not know the cost. The first page of the book says copies are free, but that was fifteen years ago.
The back of this awesome book reads thus: Bonnie's last written words were "We are living in a very special era--a magnificent time-parallel to the first advent of Jesus. Events which happened 2000 years ago in obscure Israel, are now experiencing a fulfillment on a global scale. The parallel to His birth brought us to the Autumn of 1999. The parallel to His death will bring us to the Spring of 2033. This interim period of 33-1/2 years is happening all round us. Look at the signs. They are magnificent. The parallels are awesome! They give us a glimpse into the future of this generation, and an insight into the establishment of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ upon earth. We are now in the early dawning, looking for the sunrise of that new "DAY".
Bonnie wrote that fifteen years ago. If she were alive today, she would not be writing that we are now in the early dawning, but that we are living in the very, very, very last days, fully expecting the start of the Millennium, the 1000-year reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in less than 8 years and the start of the Final 7 Years in less than 6 months. I encourage you to send this letter by email, or by making copies for those whom the Lord leads you to. The day and hour are late--very, very, very late. Don't delay. If you have a burden for those who are not ready, you MUST warn them!
In my next email, I am going to give you the actual date when we should be expecting the Tribulation to start. Hopefully, we will be raptured before that date. If we know the year, which is extremely likely to be 2025, it is not difficult to calculate the date. There is also a WARNING sign that has happened THIS YEAR that very well could be our confirmation of this same date. I am now closing this post with my title. We Have Every Reason to Believe the 7-Year Tribulation Will Begin in the Fall of 2025. And now you know why, if you have read my entire post. Read John Tng's latest few posts for more reasons to expect 2025 to be the Year we have been long awaiting for. John is the founder and moderator of Five Doves.
Maranatha!

p.s. Any email addresses that I have obtained in the last five years, I will try to send you an email of all of my posts from this point on. AOL has messed up my email lists so badly, that I cannot promise any of you that you will receive a personal copy. You may send me your email address, if you would like to receive my future posts. But to make sure that you are able to read my future posts, your best bet is to read them on http://www.fivedoves.com. New letters are posted every Sunday. Several years ago, a Five Doves reader set up my own website for me. That website no longer exists. If anyone is computer literate enough and would like to do that for me, that would be awesome. With a website, all of my posts, starting with this one, would appear in one place, which would be so much easier. Website, or not, I will still be sending all of my posts to Five Doves until the first Rapture.
