490 Years and Jubilee Years in God's Calendar
Leading to the Rapture
In the Revised Calendar Study, the final dates for the 360 and 365.25/day calendar are
6295.5 and
6205 - (our
2022 yr.). - http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2015/judith14-1.htm
In this part of the study I will show the relevance for the
490 years and the Jubilee
Cycles. I believe this part of God's Calendar time-line, along with the various cycle patterns
that will follow, ties it all together giving us even stronger possibilities for achieving an accurate
conclusion of God's Calendar.
For the most part, Christendom has tried to confine the total calendar years from Adam to
the 2nd Coming of Christ to equal
6,000 years. In this study, however, there is an additional
295 yrs.
It's important to know the following to properly understand this aspect of the study, but
before I begin, let me encourage you to please don't give up - I know this is long, but you
don't want to miss the most fascinating part of this study -
"Parallel Cycles & Patterns Significant to This Study" which will then be the conclusion for this study at this time.
One more thing before getting started - there is disagreement as to when to start the
Jubilee cycle -
49th yr. or 50th yr. My position is that it's the
50th year and by determining
it this way doesn't violate the continuation of the
7 year cycles - that is if you do both. I
believe it's entirely possible that they had two distinct ways of keeping track of the Jubilee
year and the
7 year cycles. It wouldn't be that complicated to do.
70
x 7 = 490 and 49 x 10 = 490
and 490 + 10 = 500 and finally 490 x 4 = 1960------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the above, the
490 year cycles are missing
10 years to complete the
50 year Jubilee
cycles which would then bring the
490 years to equal
500 years.
Genesis is where we first learn of there being a period of
490 years. Cain was banished
from the land and was avenged
7 times. Then after Lamech slew Cain he was avenged
70 x 7 (490) Genesis 4:24. Then again when Jesus said to forgive
70 x 7 times (490). It is commonly known that Israel has yet to obey God by celebrating the Jubilee cycle as
described in the Bible
(490 + 10 yrs.) Also, recall that God required Israel to work the land
for
6 years and on the 7th year to allow the land to rest
(70 x7). It is guesswork as to the
actual number of times Israel actually obeyed these requirements, but it is a factor to be
considered for this study.
All the above is foundational for this part of the study.
Please keep in mind that the Calendar Study comprises many various pieces that, when put
together, join in intriguing insights and coincidences. Many of these pieces I've already shown
in different studies - most recently, articles on the 360/day used in ancient history. Here are
the links:
http://www.ancient-world-mysteries.com/360-days-earth-year.html
www.examiner.com/article/the-earth-originally-had-a-360-day-calendar
By overlapping three of the different time-lines, I believe begins to show the accuracy for the
end-time calendar date. There will be more calculations to follow that will create even further
possibilities for the confirmation of this study, but first a short reminder of a more recent event
in history.
You may recall Weisenart - the fellow who published the little pamphlet
"88 Reasons Why the Lord Will Return in 1988". His theory rested upon the 1960/cycle.
Three 1960 cycles = 5880 with the added
120 years that are given for man as told in Genesis - the total then being
6000 years. His intentions were good and based upon good ideas, sadly however, he was
wrong.
The following will explain the usage of the basic
1960 and
490 year cycles.
Recall that the
1960 year is
40 years short of completing
10 Jubilee cycles.
Here's what Weisenart calculated in 1988 .
The Basic
490/yrs. and
1960 yrs.with Jubilee Yrs. added -
===============================================
4x490 yrs. = 1960 - short 40 years
4x490 yrs. = 1960 - short 40 years
4x490 yrs. = 1960 - short 40 years
1960 x 3 = 5880
40 x 3 = 120 - 120 yrs. completes the Jubilee cycles.
-------
6000
It is my belief that by using the 360/day year alongside the 365.25/day year, we can
then utilize the
490/1960 cycles as part of the equation in developing a time-line.
These calculations can be used in various times within the total calendar age. In other
words, by overlapping when using the
490/yr.cycle you create different time-lines.
However, the same conclusion will remain for the end-time date. It certainly doesn't
violate any rule of interpretation. I believe God uses these calculations all the way
through the calendar record.
Now, on to our study..........
The
seventy weeks of Daniel begins with the edict of Artaxerxes given to Nehemiah in
445 b.c. and the command to "restore and build Jerusalem". Dan. 9:25.
See:
http://gracethrufaith.com/ask-a-bible-teacher/daniel-9-and-palm-sunday/
http://endtimepilgrim.org/70wks3.htm
http://endtimepilgrim.org/70wks2.htm
In calculating
445 b.c. the date to begin with is
4183. Subtracting
445 from
4183 = 3738 on the 365.25/day. That date translates to
3792.5 on the 360/day calendar.
With these dates we can calculate the
483 yrs. to the Crucifixion of Jesus. First we need
to translate the
483 yrs. into 365.25/day yrs. That translates to
476 yrs. on the 365.25/day.
Also,
4183 + 2015 = 6198 as of
March 1, 2015. Then
, 6198 + 7 = 6205 which would end the
Tribulation on the 365.25/day calendar - providing these calculations are correct, of course.
On the 360/day calendar -
3792.5 + 483 = 4275.5 - The Crucifixion of Jesus.
On the 365.25.day calendar -
3738 + 476 = 4214 - The Crucifixion of Jesus.
Now I will begin by showing several ways to calculate the full calendar time-line by using the
490/1960 years followed by a
500/yr. Jubilee time-line as mentioned above.
NOTE: The following calendar calculations are based on the 360/day cycle using the
3792.5 date.
1. CALENDAR TIME-LINE:
====================Moving forward in time from
3792.5 -...........................
+10 or 40 Yrs. to = 500 (Jubilees) - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3792.5 - Begin
483 years to
Crucifixion+ 483
......................................................................................................
=
10yrs.-------------
4275.5 - Crucifixion+ 1960
......................................................................................................
=
40/yrs.-------------
6235.5
+ 53-------------
6288.5 - Begin Tribulation (?)
+ 7
-------------
.............................................................................................Completes
490yrs.
6295.5 - End
Tribulation (?)
2nd Coming of Christ (Sept.
10-15th?)
TOTAL =
50/yrs.
The
53 years covers the
50 years needed to complete the
Jubilee cycle with a
balance of
3 years.
Moving backward in time from
3792.5-.....................
..+10 or 40 Yrs. to = 500 (Jubilees) -
3792.5
- 1960
-------------
.....................................................................................................
= 40/yrs.
1832
- 490
-------------
.....................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
1342
- 490
-------------
......................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
852
- 490
------------
.......................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
362
----------
TOTAL 70/yrs.
The
362 years cover the
70 years needed to complete the Jubilee cycles with
a balance of
292 years.
The balance of
292 + the balance of
3 years =
295 YEARS!! The total number of years
over the 6000 year time-line. 295 - 7 = 288.
NOTE:
70 + 50 = 120 years. Could this be another
120 years God has given for man
besides the pre-flood of
120 years?
2. CALENDAR TIME-LINE:
====================
In the Calendar Study a time-line is given for the building of Solomons temple. In 1 Kings 6:1
it says "In the four hundred and eightieth year
AFTER the Israelites had come out of Egypt,
in the fourth year of Solomons reign over Israel in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began
to build the temple of the Lord", KJV.
We have two options as to how we calculate the number of years -
1. Beginning
FROM the Exodus.
2. Or sometime "AFTER" the Exodus to the 4th yr. of Solomon's reign
The verse in 1 Kings 6:1 doesn't say
FROM but rather
"AFTER". Therefore, we can conclude
it was sometime after they arrived/left Mt. Sinai that the
480th year begins.
They left Sinai in the 2nd year; 40 years in the wilderness; 5 years for distribution of the land.
After those years follows
40 yrs. for Eli (1st Samuel 4:18); then about 20 yrs. for Samuel,
40 yrs. for Saul as King; 40 yrs. for King David; finally 4 yrs. for Solomon. Totaling 191 years.
There was a length of time when there was oppression and when Judges didn't rule. Those
time-lines are difficult if not impossible to figure, however, Acts 13:20-21 tells us that the
time for the Judges was
"450 years". In addition, there was a length of time when
there was no King and everyone did as he pleased (Judges 21:25). No specific time is
mentioned, but there came a time when the people asked God for a King and God gave
them Saul.
I believe the
480th year is related to the
490 years (70x7).
NOTE: A correction needs to be made in the Calendar Study. Somehow I managed to
misplace the
"450 years" of Acts 13:20-21. I incorrectly placed the
"450 years" behind
the Exodus instead of AFTER the Exodus. The
"450 years" is what scripture says was
the time for the Judges.
The following time-line is after Israel entered the land and after the land divisions:
2567 - 5 yrs. completes the dividing of the land - add the following to Solomon/temple.
450 - Years for Judges - Acts 13:20-21
61 - Years without Judges or a King - Judges 21:25
140 - Eli; Samuel; Saul; David
+ 4
--------- - In the 4th yr. of Solomons reign he begins the temple.
655 - Total years from division of land.
+2567
---------
3222 - Begin Temple in the 480th year.which began in yr. 2742 at the end of the
490 years from Jacob (2252) - (see Calendar Study) (see below).
With the above explanation understood, we can continue with the second time-line...........
Beginning with the year
2742 which is the year that begins the
480 count to Solomon -
and the building of the
Temple.
Moving backwards.........
2742
- 490
-----------
.........................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
2252 - Jacob, after serving 7 years
- 490
-----------
.........................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
1762 - Peleg - division and dispersion
- 490
-----------
.........................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
1272
- 490
-----------
..........................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
782
-
490
..........................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
----------- ----------
292
TOTAL = 50/yrs.
Moving forward...........
2742 - Begin 480 count to Solomon - building of Temple
+ 490
------------
......................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
3232 - 10 yrs. after start of Temple in the 480th year.
+ 490
-----------
......................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
3722 - 2 yrs. after Babylon Captivity ended.
+ 70.5
-----------
3792.5 - Artaxerxes - "rebuild and restore Jerusalem".
+ 483
-----------
......................................................................................................
= 10/yrs.
4275.5 - The Crucifixion of Jesus on 360/day. 4214 on the
365.25/day.
+1960
-----------
......................................................................................................
= 40/yrs.
-----------
6235.5
+ 53
-----------
TOTAL = 70/yrs.
6288.5 - Rapture/Tribulation time. (?)
+ 7
-----------
6295.5 - Completes the 483 yrs. 483 + 7 = 490/yrs.Again,
120 years to conclude the
490 cycles which brings each to
500 yrs.
The balance of
3 years may correspond to the 3 years of Jesus'
ministry. And/or...........
70
+ 53
------
123
+ 7
------
130 - In the Genesis record the calendar begins with Adam at 130/yrs.
3. CALENDAR TIME-LINE:
====================This time-line is really amazing because of the ending results.
I'll give the time-line then present the interpretation........
1762.5 - Peleg - Division and Dispersion - a new beginning for humanity -
+ 1960
--------------
after the Flood and after the Dispersion.
3722.5 - End Babylonian Captivity (3720)
+ 1960
--------------
5682.5
+ 613
--------------
6295.5 - End of Tribulation (?)
- 490
-------------
123.5
Here's what I found interesting - the total of
613 years just happens to be the total
number of Jewish laws given in the Torah - at least that is the general consensus.
Secondly, the 123 years. When subtracting 90.5 years there's a balance of 33 years.
90.5 years just happens to be the total difference in the two calendar periods - the
360 and 365.25/day. Is the
33 years a reminder/cycle repeat of Jesus' ministry?
4242.5 - Jesus' birth.
+ 33
----------
4275.5 - Jesus' Crucifixion.
6295.5 - End Tribulation (?) 360/day.
6205
--------- - End Tribulation (?) 365.25/day.
90.5 - Difference in two calendars.
4. CALENDAR TIME-LINE - (1950 cycles to present time):
=============================================
2245 - Jacob 77 - stolen blessing & leading to time of
"Jacob's Trouble".
+ 1950
-----------
4195
+ 1950
-----------
6145
+ 150
-----------
6295 - End Tribulation (?)- Jubilee cycles from Jacob
POSSIBLE RAPTURE TIME:
========================As of this writing, there are a couple of dates that I consider to be strong possibilities
for the Rapture to occur.
6288.4 (360/day)
August 6 translates to March 15, 6198 (our 2015/yr. on the 365.25/day).
August 6 was the date when the
Shekinah Glory Cloud left the temple at the
Babylon Captivity. March 15 is the date on the 365.25/day calendar when
Jesus was crucified.
OR............
6288.5 (360/day)
August 30/Sept. 1 translates to
April 9/10, 6198 (our 2015 yr. on the
365.25).
Sept 1 is
Rosh HaShanah & Tishrei 1, the first day of the Jewish year on the civil
calendar.
April 10 is the date Noah entered the ark - 7 days prior to the flood.
POSSIBLE TRIBULATION TIME:
===========================
Sept. 10 on 360/day is Jesus' birth date which translates to April 20 (our 2015 yr. on the
365.25). April 20 is the same date Israel left Mt. Sinai for the Promise Land.
Below are some interesting cycles and parallel dates. What I want to show you are the
discoveries I made when studying the various dates and time intervals to and from Historic
events. To my surprise there are even more than I'd discovered in prior studies. This year
appears to be a determining year for the Rapture/Tribulation since there are so many
amazing similarities in time intervals that just can't be ignored.
Let's begin with Solomon and the building of the Temple. In the Calendar Study.
I show that date as follows:
SOLOMON'S TEMPLE TO BIRTH OF JESUS -
=====================================Jesus was born in a Jubilee Year 1000 yrs. exactly from when the Shekinah
Glory entered the Temple.......... 3222.1 - Begin Temple in April (2nd month).
+ 7.5
------------- -
3229.6 - Complete Temple in October (8th month). 1Kings 6:37,38.
+ 12.9 - Complete House. Shekinah Glory enters temple at
-------------
3242.5 Dedication - September 15, Feast of Tabernacles.
See 1 Kings 8:2,11, Lev. 23:34.
3242.5 - This happens to be a Jubilee year. - 2742 + 490 + 10 = 500 yrs.
+ 1000 See Calendar Time-line #2.
-------------
4242.5 - Birth of Jesus on Sept. 10. Also a Jubilee year.
In the 490/1960 study above, there we see that the edict to build and restore
Jerusalem was 445 b.c. on the 365.25/day calendar. That date translates to
451.5 b.c. which is shown above in the Calendar Time-line 1 & 2 as 3792.5.
From the birth of Jesus which we now know is a Jubilee year, moving forward
to the Crucifixion, is 33 yrs.
4242.5 - Birth of Jesus
+ 33
-----------
4275.5 - Crucifixion of Jesus
+ 7
-----------
4282.5 - Completes 40 yrs. - 450 to Jesus + 40 = 490 yrs. IF we were to
+ 10 continue with the 490 yr. cycle (which we know was cut off at
-----------
4292.5 483 yrs.), this year (4292) would have completed another Jubilee
cycle.
PARALLEL CYCLES & PATTERNS SIGNIFICANT TO THIS STUDY:
=======================================================
3242 - Shekinah Glory enters Temple + 1000 = 4242 - Jesus'
Birth - 360/day. 3242 + 50 = 3292 - Jubilee year from Temple.
4242 - Birth of Jesus + 50 years = 4292 - Jubilee - 360/day.
4315 - 71 ad - temple destroyed + 1977 = 6292 - 360/day - Mid-trib.?
( 71 ad on the 360/day - 70 on the 365.25/day.) 6292 + 3.5 = 6295.5.

+ 67 of the Exodus and won't be entering the Promise Land -
---------
2567 Exodus year 2520. (20 + 2 + 40 + 5 = 2567). Enter Promise Land.
The Israelites left Mt. Sinai in the 2nd yr., then 40 yrs.

Israel/Nation. Yr. Peleg dies. 360/day &
365.25/day.
What I find curious here are the same repeated dates for Pelegs' death.
Initially he died in 1996 on the 360/day which was 1967 on the 365.25/day.
Now here are again with another cycle of 1996 and 1967 at the end.
Then too, with his name meaning "division", "divided", that certainly
ties in with Israel and the division of Jerusalem. It's a 'tongue twister'.
4241 - Yr. of Jesus' Conception. 360/day.
-1996
--------
2245 - Jacob, Stolen Blessing. 360/day.
1757 - Peleg - Division/Dispersion. 360/day
+ 295 - Yrs. Over 6000/yr. calendar. 360/day.
---------
2053 - Abraham departs to Caanan. 360/day.

+1757 - Peleg - Division/Dispersion. 360/day.
---------
6000
+ 295 - Yrs. over 6000/yr. calendar. 360/day.
---------
6295 - End Tribulation (?). 2053 yrs. from Jesus. 360/day.
Here's an interesting parallel cycle:
2265 - Jacob Named Israel........ 4242 - Jesus' Birth - 360/day
+ 33 - .............................................. + 33
---------
----------
2298 - Jacob into Egypt............. 4275 - Crucifixion - 360/day
+ 7 - ............................................. + 7
---------
---------
2305 -
.............................................
4282 - Would have ended 490/yrs.
+ 10 .............................................. + 10
---------
---------
2315
- Jacob dies......................... 4292
- Would have been a Jubilee
year from birth of Jesus.
This concludes the study at this time. Possibly I'll have more later, but as you
can see there is plenty here to study and ponder upon.
What is really striking and impressive to me is the repetition of cycles - all with
relevant and significant events.
If you have questions about the study I'd be pleased to help - if I can.
