As new insights and information have become available I'm re-posting this
study and bringing it up-to-date.
GOD'S CALENDARS
(a study in time)
REVISEDThere are various studies attempting to determine dates for historical and biblical events -
studies that could eventually have significance and guide us in our investigation as to
what, if anything, historical dates have in connection to our current time-frame and the
possibility of prophetic importance to end-time events.
I'm hoping that the following will help us to achieve additional support in our effort to
demonstrate the truth that we are closing in on "that day" - the day we so long for -
the coming of Jesus for His bride - preceding the terrible 7-year tribulation period
which is coming upon the earth.
How many existing calendars are there and which ones can we depend on with certainty?
Obviously there is the Jewish calendar and the current calendar which we follow today -
the Gregorian calendar. However, there are many others, two of which I will focus on for
this study. I suggest these two will benefit us in our determination in finding the amount
of accuracy we have in today's common calendars - i.e. the Gregorian and Jewish
calendars.
These two, the 360/day and the 365.25/day
perpetual calendars, are what I believe to be
a clue to our current time-table and general accuracy to where we are in relation
to
end-time events. The genealogy record and frequency of the various
calendar cycles and patterns throughout history are among some of the
examples that encourage us
to further investigate the relevance - if any at all. I believe there is enough evidence that
warrants further study along these lines.
It is noted that there is no misunderstanding as to the relevance of the current method in
determining present Jewish feast days which is governed by the moon cycles, etc.
I don't discount the accuracy of those dates. So, there isn't the need for any discussion
on that matter, only to say that this study is to extract an end-time dating method using
biblical cycles and patterns based mainly from the biblical genealogy account and various
dates provided in scripture.
For the purpose of this study the calendar begins in March on the 360/day cycle and the
corresponding 365.25/day cycle - beginning from the book of Genesis. Some of the names
in the genealogy record are omitted but the given dates are recorded.
In
accordance with the striking evidence of current events along with the
many biblical prophetic studies, many are suggesting that 2015 is a
strong possibility for the Rapture/Tribulation. I agree.
Happy watching!!

March 15 is the date of the crucifixion on the 365.25/day
and
Aug. 6 is the date when the Shekinah Glory left the temple
at the time of the Babylonian Captivity. Could this be a possible
Rapture date?
POSSIBLE RAPTURE DATE -A possibility for the Rapture is our
April 10, 2015 (6198/yr. on the 365.25/day
which is also the same date
(April 10) Noah entered the ark - 7 days prior to the
flood. The April 10 date corresponds to
Aug. 31/Sept. 1 on the 360/day yr. which
is the date for the Resurrection on the 360/day - see Calendar Study.
Sept. 1 is also Rosh HaShanah &Tishrei 1, the first day of the Jewish year on the
civil calendar.
POSSIBLE TRIBULATION DATE -The
April 20, 2015 date is the same date the Israelites left Mt. Sinai on the
360/day yr. This date corresponds to
September 10, 6288 on the 360/day yr. which
many have concluded was Jesus' birth date.
SIGNIFICANT PATTERNS/CYCLES
70; 1878; 1948; 2520; 2107; 2168; 47.9; 3720; 4242.5; 6287.9;
2296; 4244; 6131.
These, just to name a few. I'll show the significance for some of these..............
NOTE: When studying the years for the 360/day year please see calendar
study for the corresponding 365.25/day year. The same is true when the
studies below are for the 365.25/day year - again, see the calendar study for
corresponding 360/day year.
1878 years begins with Terah's birth ( Abraham's father) with 70 years to
1948, the year of Terah's first born - these on the 360/day. Similarly, It's
1878 years from 70 ad to 1948 the new beginning for the nation of Israel,
only these on the 365.25day calendar - the difference being 70 years
after 1878 to 1948 on the 365.25/day.
Moving backwards 70 yrs. from 70 ad we have 4183 - the year this calendar
study begins. Going forward from 4183 + 1948 = 6131 which is the year Israel
became a nation (again, on the 365.25/day calendar).
From our starting count on the 360/day calendar (4244) going back 1948 years
we arrive at the year 2296 (again on the 360/day calendar). That was 7 years
following Joseph becoming Governor in Egypt when the 7 years of plenty
ended. So, 2296 + 1948 = 4244.
Jesus wasn't quite 30 yrs. of age when he began his ministry. The scripture
states that he was ABOUT 30 years of age. That would bring the date to
4272.5 (approx. a couple of weeks/days short of 30 yrs.). 4272.5 + 1948.1 =
6220.6 (on the 360/day) - the same yr. as our 1948 (or 6131.2) on the 365/25day.
Next, consider the year 2520 (these dates on the 360/day cycle). From Adam
to the Exodus is 2520 years. From the end of the Babylon captivity to 1967
(which corresponds to the year 6240 in this study), is also 2520 years, i.e.
3720 + 2520 = 6240. From the Exodus year 2520 to the time the nation of
Israel arrived in the Promise Land and completed the land division
amongst the 12 tribes was 47.? or, as shown in this study, 47.8 years,
2520 + 47 = 2567 - and 2567 + 3720 = 6287 (the year for the Rapture/Trib).
From 6240 (our 1967) to the Rapture/Tribulation is 47.8 years -
6240 + 47.8 = 6287.8. I'm hopeful these dates are correct, but keeping in
mind that only time will tell.
Only with accurate historical dates can we provide the evidence needed to
arrive at any final conclusion in this kind of dating method. I strongly believe
we have those dates needed for this study - namely the Exodus date; the
Babylonian time frame and lastly, the birth and crucifixion of Jesus along with
the starting date for our end-time count.
GENERATION STUDY:Can we determine how many years there are in a generation?
This study may produce just such an answer.
Please understand this is a study and my attempt to find the possible
meanings in biblical cycles and patterns of numbers. These studies
are only meant to promote possibilities.
The similarities in the cycles/patterns I believe are promising when
considering the multiple coincidences presented. All in all, time will
tell.
You must decide for yourself if there is any evidence in this study
that is noteworthy.
It has been a joy working on this and in any event we have the
signs of the times which ultimately is signaling the soon coming
of Jesus Christ
The following is what I have recently discovered and I'm including
this as part of God's Calendars Study.
SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS - 42; 2014; 53; 47; 8 & 14Matthew 1:2-16 lists the number of generations from Abraham to Christ.
There are 42 names listed:
From Abraham to David = 14 generations
From David to Jechonia = 14 generations
From Jechonia to Jesus = 14 generations
Total = 42 generations.
42 Meaning = Associated with the coming of Christ.
On the 360/day calendar above, Jesus was born in the year 4242.
The 4242 year is from God's Calendars Study above.
THE TOTAL GENERATIONS:Note: The following years have been calculated on the 360/day year.
In order to determine the length of a generation we must figure the
total number of years from Abraham to Jesus. That number = 2234 yrs.
The year 2008 to 4242 = 2234 (360/day) Note: See study above.
Divide 42 into 2234 = 53 with 8 years into the next cycle of 53years.
In other words the 53 year ended 8 years before the birth of Jesus.
Meaning of 53 = Faithful witness. See http://biblenumbersforlife.com/
Meaning of 8= Holy Man/New Man: believer.
See: http://biblenumbersforlife.com/
So 53 years is the number of years in a generation from Abraham to Jesus.
Subtract the extra 8 yrs. from 2234 = 2226 which is the year 4234.
Total years from 4234 to 6295 (end of trib.) = 2061 years.
NUMBER OF GENERATIONS TO END OF TRIBULATION:
2061 divided by 53 = 38 generations with a balance of 47 years into
the next 53 cycle/generation.
Total number of generations from Abraham to end of tribulation =
80 with 47 years which is 6 years short of completing the final
53 year generation.
A BIG SURPRISE -
I was shocked to discover the following:
Recall that it was 4234yrs. when the first 42 generations ended.
From 4234 to end of Trib. (from my study) is 2061 years. (remember
these years are calculated on the 360/day cycle. Now, 2061 less
the final 47 years = 2014 years. There's another 214 number that
I explained in the God's Calendars Study, i.e. 4214 - the year of the
crucifixion on the 365.25/day. (38 generations in total).
Also, 47 years was discussed in God's Calendars Study - 47 being
the number of years from the Exodus to entrance into the
Promise Land including the 5 years for the division of the
land. Note - by subtracting the 5 years above from 47 = 42.
Here's what I think.........there are generations within generations
and the length of a generation is dependent upon the method one
would use in determining a number of years for a generation. Then,
what specifically is meant by generation? Who's to say one can't
calculate a specific timeline and call it a generation like I did? Are
there absolutes that would disqualify this procedure?
If the general consensus says we do it this way and someone like
me goes another way does that make it wrong? Who's to say we
can't conduct a simple mathematical procedure like I did?
One thing is for sure - I'm not alone in trying to develop a timeline
for a generation. Have you searched the internet and seen the
variety of works in this area?
From what I've discovered the Bible has many generations
- the 1,000 yr.; 120; 100; 400; 430; 70; 80; 90; 20; etc., and now it has "53".
The possibilities are endless!
CONTINUATION OF THE GENERATION STUDY -Just discovered another "53"
Using the 360/day year from the God's Calendar's Study posted on this
thread, I found that by subtracting the year of Jesus' birth from the end
of the tribulation you have 2053 years.
6295 - 4242 = 2053 years. How about that!
Also, on the 365.25/yr. 2053 was the year Abraham departed to Caanan!
What I'm saying, since there are generations within generations, in order to
determine a specific number of years from one period to another, you would
need a definite number of generations as in the 14 x 14 x 14 (42 total
generations) from the period of Abraham to Jesus. With the total number of
years in each of the 42 generations, you would divide the 42 into the
number of years......which is 2234 years. That figure then = 53 years.
MAY 17/18 STUDY -First Trump = May 1718...God Comes To Mt. Sinai - Last Trump = May 17/18...Jesus Comes For Church?
I've posted information on this date before but may be worth repeating.
Exodus 19:1 tells us that the Israelites arrived Mt. Sinai in the "third month", "on the very day", "after" leaving Egypt.
"In the third month after the Israelites left Egypt -- on the very day (same, i.e. 15th) - they came to the Desert of Sinai."
Numbers 33:3 gives us the exact date they left Egypt which would correspond to "the exact day".
"The israelites set out from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the
day after the Passover."
"On the very day" signifies May 15 (3rd month, 15thday), which date also corresponds to our May 14/15, 1948,
Moses is given instructions to have the Israelites ready and prepared to receive from God on the "3rd day".
"And the Lord said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow
Have them wash their clothes and be ready by the third day (May 17/18). Exodus 19:10-11.
In
the meantime we have another significant watch date. In any event, all
indications are there to alert us to the soon coming of our precious
Lord and Savior to bring us home to be with Him for all of eternity.
What a glorious day that will be.
Happy watching!
HAGGAI 2:19 - "FROM THIS DAY I WILL BLESS YOU" = NOVEMBER 24 -In my Calendar Study I have as the dates for Jesus' birth being Sept. 4/5, 4242.5 on
the 360/day calendar and Sept. 10/11, 4181.5 on the 365.25/day calendar. (see above)
Haggai 2:18 says......From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month...".
For this study "this day" would be November 24 on the 360/day calendar.
The gestation period is 280 days. From November 24, 4241 on the 360/day + 280 days =
September 4/5, 4242. Those same dates on the 365.25/day = December 4/5, 4180 + 280
days = September 10/11, 4181 - both dates arriving at the birth of Jesus - see calendar.
I've
discussed the possibility of the tribulation starting on September
9/10, 6288 on the 360/day which would be April 19/20, 6198 (our April
19/20, 2015) on the 365.25/day. April 19/20 was the date Israel left Mt.
Sinai for the Promise Land.
Adding 7 years + the additional 75 days of Daniel to September 9/10 = NOVEMBER
24/25, 6295 or 6.9 years + 75 days to the April 19/20, 6198 = July 3/4, 6205 (July 3/4,
2022) on the 365.25/day.
THE RAPTURE -The Rapture can happen any time soon, so be looking up!
If the Rapture were to happen now there would be approx. 2 mos. before the beginning
of the Tribulation. I believe there needs to be a period of time for Moses and Elijah to
call out and prepare the 144,000 for their 31/2 yr. ministry. Two months would
be a reasonable amount of time for their education and preparation.
