"Post"
A few weeks ago I posted:
"Jesus predicted about the temple that no stone would be left
upon another. About forty years after this prophecy, the Romans
destroyed the Temple and literally took it apart "stone by
stone". I do not believe that they intended to destroy it but
would have probably turned it into a temple dedicated to a roman
"god" however, a soldier accidentally set fire to the temple
during the siege. According to "A Dictionary of the Roman
Empire" this occurred on the ninth of Av (August 30) AD 70. The
temple was constructed of wood and stone. Once it caught fire
the wood parts burned away leaving the stone shell. What
happened was the gold that was gilding the wood and stones
melted. It melted into the cracks and crevices of these stones.
The Romans had to pry apart every stone to recover this gold and
thus fulfill Christ's prophecy.
Forty prophetic years (14400 days) before this was March 28, AD
31. Nisan 18 3791. The third day of Passover. Was this the
Passover when the Lord was crucified and resurrected? Was this
the day Jesus made that prophecy? Were the forty years a sign to
the Jews?"
According to Daniel's prophecy, Christ would be cut off in the
middle of one seven. This would be seven "prophetic" years (2520
days). This would indicate that the start of His ministry would
have been 1260 days earlier or October 15, AD 27 (Tishrei 29,
3788). This date was Parashat Bereshit.
From Wikipedia:
"Bereshit, Bereishit, Bereshis, Bereishis, or B'reshith
(בְּרֵאשִׁית—Hebrew for "in beginning" or "in the beginning,"
the first word in the parashah) is the first weekly Torah
portion (פָּרָשָׁה, parashah) in the annual Jewish cycle of
Torah reading. The parashah consists of Genesis 1:1–6:8."
Since Christ's ministry was supposed to be seven "prophetic"
years, His ministry would have ended September 8, AD 34 (Tishrei
10, 3795). This date was Yom Kippur.
Kind of interesting.
