The seven-letter word above serves as a mnemonic device for aid in retaining the information I am presenting in this document, about a possible alignment on the calendar to that of the Seventieth Week of Daniel (7 years / 2520 days). I’ve been studying eschatology for about 50 years (and hold to the Pre-Trib Rapture perspective), as well as having studied the more specific calendar issues for more than half of that time. I’ve noticed this particular “pattern” (of the 7-year-set) which I am presenting here, for quite a number of years. It occurs routinely about 8 out of 100 times (that is, in about 8 of every 100 “year-sets”), as I recall, but this particular “7-year-set” (2025-2032) has additional unique characteristics which no other “year-set” (falling in this same “pattern”) possesses.
This document must necessarily be much more brief than I would like (much more could be said), but this is the basic outline—the bare bones amount of information that hopefully gets my point across adequately.
I. CAN WE “KNOW”?
a. Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour KNOWETH [Perfect Indicative] no man…” is in the context of the subject surrounding His Second Coming to the earth (Rev19 / Isa27:9,12-13 / Matt24:29-31; not rapture), and is not conveying the idea that no one can or will ever be able to know;
b. Even though Jesus Himself also did not “KNOW” during His earthly ministry before the Cross, following His death and resurrection / ascension He again had perfect knowledge with the Father and approximately 60 years later had John write “The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God GAVE unto him [unto Jesus] to SHEW unto His servants things which must come to pass in quickness / with speed [noun]…” (Rev1:1; 4:1; 1:19c… referring to the “future” aspects of the book, what we now call the Seventieth Week of Daniel, i.e. 2520 days); Note that the “SHEW” aspect (FUTURE aspect) begins from 4:1; a number of timing indicators are supplied therein;
c. In that book, from chapters 4 through 19, my contention is that Jesus supplies the calendar [dates] outline of the Seventieth Week. I will endeavor to support this contention in the remainder of this document, as well as providing additional intriguing information regarding this
II. THE BIBLICAL “PATTERN” OF THE SEVENTIETH WEEK (2520 days) ON A CALENDAR
--The “BEGINNING,” the “MIDDLE” and the “END”-points of the Seven Year period each have DESCRIPTIONS supplied in the biblical text, concerning particular dates on a calendar which happen to fall 1260 days apart between each of these (in certain year-sets… again, only about 8 percent of the time);
a. The “END” (Rev19) corresponds with scripture elsewhere saying, “when kings go forth to battle” (and when kings were crowned) / “at the turn of the year” or “after the year was expired” (2 Sam 11:1; 1 Chron 20:1; Ex 12:1-3; 1 Ki 20:22,26), that is, on Nisan 1;
b. The “BEGINNING” (Rev5:6—when Jesus will STAND to open the First Seal), by the text saying, “I beheld… A LAMB STANDING as it HAD BEEN SLAIN,” corresponds with the date on the calendar we know as His Resurrection Day, aka “FIRSTFRUIT” (Lev23:10-12 “on the morrow, after the Sabbath, following Passover”) in the year He was crucified (AD 32—the only year that seems to align with all of the biblical criteria)—But recall, the Rev5:6 verse is referring to the “FUTURE” (“in quickness / with speed”) time period, i.e. the start of the Seventieth Week (2520-day period leading up to His Second Coming to the earth). So, a FUTURE “FIRSTFRUIT” date. Note that the Seals are “the beginning of birth pangs” (Matt24:4-8; Mk13:5-8; Lk21:8-11; and Paul referring to the FIRST ONE of those in 1Th5:1-3 “birth pang [SINGULAR]”=the BEGINNING of “the Day of the Lord” time period, which will commence with the 7-year Tribulation Period, aka Daniel’s 70thWeek);
c. The “MIDDLE” (1260 days from the BEGINNING on “FF”; and 1260 days prior to the END on “N1”) is another particular calendar-date being DESCRIBED in Rev8:1-5(,13a), aka “YOM KIPPUR” (or Day of Atonement), so this would be the MID-point (Rev 12:6,9; 9:1 also… when 1260 days are yet remaining);
--summary: the “PATTERN” of the 2520 days (two sections of 1260 days each), spelled out in Scripture is, “FIRSTFRUIT (FF)… YOM KIPPUR (YK)… NISAN 1 (N1—the turn of the year/after the year was expired)”.
Look again at the “mnemonic device” SEVEN-LETTER WORD at the top of this document. Turn the “W” into a “YK” (YOM KIPPUR) which marks the “MIDDLE” point; and there you have:
--“F” (or “FF”) at the BEGINNING (“FIRSTFRUIT”);
--“YK” at the “MIDDLE” (“YOM KIPPUR”);
--and “N1” at the “END” (“NISAN 1”)III. WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR “7-YEAR-SET” (2025-2032… equaling 2520 days)?
--Since this “PATTERN” (of year-sets equaling “2520 days” [FF--YK--N1]) occurs routinely throughout history (for example, in 1981, in 1984, in 2008, and in 2011, etc), what evidence is there that THIS particular “year-set” (2025-2032) is any more likely than any other year-sets which also fall in this “pattern,” including those occurring throughout the next thousand years (beyond our lifetimes)? For starters:
a. Hosea 5:14-6:3 (context: speaking of Israel, from the point in time of the year of Jesus’ ascension) ”after TWO DAYS” and “IN the THIRD DAY” cannot be referring to “24-hour”type of “days” (but 2000 years; and in the third 1000 years, from the perspective of His ascension year—the year He was “CUT OFF”)—so, for starters, the “math” adds up, especially if one considers that the “IN the THIRD DAY” corresponds with the “SEVENTH day / seventh millennium,” the CREATION WEEK model of “6 days” followed by a day of “REST” on the SEVENTH, i.e. the Millennial Kingdom age—that is AD 32 plus 2000 years comes to 2032 for the start of the Millennial Kingdom age—(more on this under a later point, below);
b. The first “69 Weeks” concluded on the very day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, per Zech9:9 about “Jerusalem,” and spoke the words of Luke 19:42-44 about “the city / Jerusalem” (the subject of the Daniel 9:24-27 time-prophecy), that is, on what we call PALM SUNDAY (April 6, AD 32);
c. The first “69 Weeks” equaled 173,880 days (FROM a particular specified point TO a particular point which we call PALM SUNDAY); the “70th Week” equals “2520 days”. I’m arguing that the “70th Week” should be factored in the SAME way that the first “69 Weeks” were factored. There was NO shifting of the heavenly bodies or change in the rotation of the earth (i.e. changing the actual calendar to “360-day years,”) as this is not the point, nor what is going to occur--it is simply used to point to, or lead to, particular dates on the Hebrew calendar by means of the “WEEKS / SEVENS” (how they are factored), and will be particularly recognized by the believing remnant of Israel existing in the future “70th Week” / Tribulation Period—“the WISE” of Israel “will understand” Dan12:10, during a time of great deception; They will come to “understand” by means of what is written in scripture itself… (I’m arguing that since we, “the Church which is His body,” have access to everything written in scripture as well, that nothing prevents us from coming to the same conclusions they will, as the Holy Spirit illumines our understanding… and often with the aid of solid teaching);
d. The second half of the Seventieth Week often is labeled by the phrase “a time, times, and half a time” (Dan12 using the Hebrew word “moed” here), which sequence of this phrasing also seems to correspond with the idea that “YOM KIPPUR” commences the MID-POINT, whereas “NISAN 1” marks the END-POINT (i.e. “and HALF a time”)—By contrast, a “fall-to-fall” Tribulation Period would not seem to correspond with this kind of phrasing (regarding the second half);
IV. MORE FEATURES OF A “FIRSTFRUIT—YOM KIPPUR—NISAN 1” SEVENTIETH WEEK PATTERNa. The FINAL “WEEK [/seven]” (2520 days) would:
BEGIN on a SUNDAY (FIRSTFRUIT) and END on a SABBATH / SATURDAY (N1)—JUST LIKE the creation week, and every “week” (set of 7 days) following, runs from a Sunday to a Saturday/Sabbath;
b. The final “WEEK [/seven]” would have:
“24 sets” of “2520 HOURS [/105 days],” each STARTING on a SUNDAY and ENDING on a SABBATH / SATURDAY (hmm… “24” sets… I wonder why that would be?) All very ORDERLY, it seems;
c. Its STARTING point (FIRSTFRUIT—Lev23:10-12) was not only Jesus’ RESURRECTION DAY, but the day that WE, “the Church which is His body,” also had the following biblical concepts take place INVOLVING US, “positionally / legally”: “hath raised us up together [G4891 – synegeiro],” “made us sit together [G4776 – sygkathizo]” in heavenly places, “quickened-together [G4806 – syzoopoieo],” (Eph2:6; Eph2:5; Col2:13)--so it makes sense that this could likely be the date we experience this actually, via our “harpazo / rapture”; When Jesus said the words of John 20:17, I believe He was referring to what He would do THAT VERY DAY, that is, ON “FIRSTFRUIT” (“I ascend”—telling only ONE PERSON, who was to go SAY UNTO the others); whereas “40 days” later in the Acts 1 setting, He ascended VISIBLY in the sight of them, which is how He will “so come in like manner” in the Rev19 context (Rev1:7), aka “the MANIFESTATION of the presence / Parousia of Him” (2Th2:8b) when He destroys the “man of sin” at His Second Coming, that is, to the earth (visibly / openly manifest);
d. There are TWO mentions of “firstfruit” in Leviticus 23; the LATTER of these two (in verse 17) corresponds with the “WHEAT harvest” where the wording there says “TWO loaves” and “baken WITH LEAVEN”—which I believe the wording of the rest of the verse corresponds with Revelation 14:4 regarding the “144,000” (of the tribes of Israel in the Trib years); there is more than one “harvest” (not “rapture”) and therefore more than one “firstfruit” (James 1:18 says “a KIND of firstfruit,” seeming to support this notion)—but “the Church” (that’s us) is DESCRIBED in completely OPPOSITE TERMS from that of that latter mention of “firstfruit” (Lev23:17), that is, not as “TWO loaves” or “baken WITH LEAVEN” (see Paul speaking of us as “ONE BREAD” and “YE ARE UNLEAVENED,”)… so this is an additional reason why WE are connected with the first mention of “firstfruit” in Lev23 verses 10-12 (in our connection with Christ, as being “IN Christ,” and what He accomplished on THAT VERY DAY, involving “the Church which is His body” / us); The “WHEAT” harvest is harvested by means of a “tribulum” (harvesting implement); whereas the EARLIER harvest by means of “TOSSING UP INTO THE AIR and BLOWING away the chaff”
V. FEATURES PARTICULARLY UNIQUE TO THE “FF—YK—N1” PATTERN OF 2025-2032 *ONLY*: “that he [the man of sin] might be revealed IN HIS TIME”
--When pondering the regular day-amounts FROM the conclusion of the “69 Weeks” (PALM SUNDAY, Nisan 10 / April 6, AD 32) TO the BEGINNING of the Trib yrs (if 2025-2032)--the following intriguing information is what I discovered
a. 2Th2:6 - “that he might be revealed IN HIS TIME”--THIS “2025-2032 year-set” is the ONLY ONE (and I checked THOUSANDS OF YEARS) where the day-amounts that span FROM “Palm Sunday, AD 32” TO “[eve of] FF ‘25”… and TO “YK ‘28”… and TO “N1 ‘32” (that is, EACH of those—the [FF] BEGINNING [eve of FF], the [YK] MIDDLE, and the [N1] END), when [each of those day-amounts is] divided by “360” come to a number having a “.5666666666->” or a “.0666666666->” after the decimal point.
NO OTHER “YEAR-SET” has this feature (and for ALL 3)! THIS IS ASTOUNDING!
i. FROM 4/6/32 (Palm Sunday—completion of the 69 Weeks) and adding 727,944 days TO come to [the eve of] “FF 2025”--divided by “360” equals a number with a “.06666666666->” following the decimal point;
ii. FROM 4/6/32 and adding 729,204 days TO come to “YK 2028”--divided by “360” equals a number having “.5666666666->”following the decimal;
iii. FROM 4/6/32 and adding 730,464 days TO come to “Nisan 1, 2032”--divided by “360” equals a number with a “.0666666666->” following the decimal point;
b. “like the MOON, established forever, a FAITHFUL WITNESS in the sky…” Psalm 89:37 BSB--In addition to the aforementioned astounding facts, when one puts those same day-amounts into numbers of MONTHS, those numbers (MONTHS) correspond with scripture verses (numbered the SAME) which have THEMES also corresponding perfectly with the “BEGINNING,” “MIDDLE,” and the “END”-points of the 70th Week! AMAZING!
i. FROM 4/6/32 to the BEG. (or eve of FF), 727,944 days equals “23916 MONTHS, 14d”… so verses #23916 + #23917 – Matthew 22:43-44, where verse 44 is saying, “SIT at My right hand UNTIL…” (Rev5:6 says, “a Lamb STANDING,” right before He will open the first seal at the BEGINNING of the Trib years);
ii. FROM 4/6/32 to the MIDDLE, 729,204 days equals “23957 MONTHS, 25d”… so verses #23957 + #23958 – Matthew 23:38-39, which has the words “… your house is left to you DESOLATE” (and the next verse also contains the word “UNTIL” regarding when they will “SEE” Him at the END, i.e. Rev19 / 1:7 and Matt24:29-31 / Isa27:9,12-13, etc);
iii. FROM 4/6/32 to the END, 730,464 days equals “23999 MONTHS, 8d”… so verses #23999 + #24000 – Matthew 24:41-42, which verses, speaking of His Second Coming to the earth (Rev19), have the words “one is taken” (that is, taken away in judgment, just as in Noah’s day) “and one is left” (left on the earth, in their mortal bodies, to “fill the earth”—just as in Noah’s day; Comp. Dan2:35c and Gen9:1) and having the phrase “on what day YOUR LORD COMES” (His Second Coming to the earth) as well as the phrase “in what time OF THE NIGHT the thief comes” (see Rev16:14-16, at the time surrounding “Armageddon”—His Second Coming to the earth—when HE HIMSELF comes “like a thief.”)—This is distinct from the point in time in which “the Day of the Lord” (like a thief IN THE NIGHT) will “ARRIVE” exactly like the FIRST BIRTH PANG (i.e. Seal #1) which kicks off the tribulation period, and BEFORE WHICH our “rapture [IN THE AIR]” takes place. The “DOTL” time period on the earth arrives “like a thief IN THE NIGHT” (we are “not of the night”); but our rapture event has our “change,” scripture states, as occurring “in the twinkling of an eye” which is the precise moment that one day turns into the next, when the sun is eight-degrees below the horizon, AT SUNDOWN—We will not step one inch INTO the “IN THE NIGHT” time-period we call the Tribulation Period, or “Seventieth Week,” aka the arrival-point of “the Day of the Lord”)
VI. IN YEARS WHEN PASSOVER FALLS ON A SUNDAY (AS IT DOES THIS YEAR 2025), THEN “FIRSTFRUIT” OCCURS ON THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY (“on the morrow, after the Sabbath [/Saturday], following Passover”); THIS YEAR “FIRSTFRUIT” IS ON SUN, APRIL 20
a. The year that Jesus died (AD 32, as the only year fitting all of the criteria, including the conclusion of the “69 Weeks” on Palm Sunday / Nisan 10), Passover occurred on a Thursday, and “FIRSTFRUIT” occurred on the following “SUNDAY” (always on a Sunday!) which was (in that particular case, AD 32) “THE THIRD DAY since these things were done” (Lk 24:21)
VII. CONCLUSION—THIS “PATTERN” NOT ONLY FITS THE BIBLICAL “DESCRIPTIONS” OF THE BEGINNING, MIDDLE, AND END-POINTS OF THE FINAL “WEEK” OF SEVEN YEARS (2520 DAYS) WRITTEN OF IN REVELATION, BUT THIS PARTICULAR YEAR-SET (2025-2032), HAVING THIS “PATTERN,” IS THE ONLY YEAR-SET TO POSSESS CERTAIN OTHER FEATURES (SPELLED OUT ABOVE) PROVIDING FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THIS INDEED *MAY* BE THE “SET TIME” FOR THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL TO BEGIN (AND THEREFORE OUR RAPTURE WHICH PRECEDES IT)
If you are one who is inclined to PRINT out this seven page document providing “reasons” for a 2025-2032 Tribulation Period (with the “PATTERN” falling on “FF—YK—N1” spanning 2520 days, with two halves equaling “1260 days” each), please be so kind as to transform the large letters of the “ForWarN1” word at the top (especially the “W” into a “Y” and a “K”--for “YK” / YomKippur) which may provide useful for those left behind to have a “roadmap” (calendar of dates) should we VANISH on “Firstfruit” (its first moments) as I suspect (according to what I’m ascertaining from scripture), immediately preceding the START of the “Seventieth Week” later that same day (when “the man of sin” will thereafter “BE REVEALED”—Seal #1; Which SEQUENCE is repeated 3x in 2Th2, and which agrees with all other passages on this subject)
NOTE: the dates are factored using Jerusalem time, so would be slightly different depending on what area of the world you are located
