Hello John and Doves,
After perusing Jerry R's
letter on 6 Jan 2019 with the link to the article "Rapture
of the Church in 2019 and Second Coming of Jesus in 2022"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2019/jerryr16.htm, I
wanted to add a few thoughts.
The author of this
article writes that Jerusalem is the 'prophetic
clock' - I agree that Jerusalem IS the
prophetic clock and that Israel is not. I believe we
must watch Jerusalem.
As far as the "62 weeks"
and the "7 weeks", I do believe Isaac Newton looked at
these as two separate prophetic time periods also - the"62
weeks" prophecy bringing in the first coming of the
Messiah and the "7 weeks" prophecy to be fulfilled at some
time far into the future.
I've often thought about
the 1290 and 1335 day counts in the book of Daniel,
chapter 12. I don't know if they are after the
Tribulation, before, somewhere in the middle...so I
thought I'd look at them as IF they are BEFORE
the Tribulation.
For the
1260 days:
Counting the days
BEFORE Rosh Hashanah, 26th of September, 2022 the 1260
day count lands on Nisan 10, April 15, 2019. We
know Nisan 10 to be Palm Sunday - the day that some
believe the prophetic clock stopped - Jesus looked at
Jerusalem and wept. Luke
19:41: "As Jesus approached Jerusalem
and saw the city, He wept over it and said "IF only
you had known on THIS day what would
bring you peace! But now it is hidden
from your eyes."
For the 1290
days: Daniel 12:11: And from the
time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination
of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.
From the day that the
daily (?) is taken away - abolished/removed, comes to an
end - to the day of the abomination of desolation which is
the surrounding of Israel with armies (Armageddon) - and
counting 30 days BEFORE April 15, 2019 - this lands on
March 16, 2019 (9th of Adar II - leap month) Some
believe this 'daily' is the daily sacrifice made at
The Temple, but 'sacrifice' is in italics in your Bible -
so 'sacrifice' is assumed.
For the 1335
days: Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he who
waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
Blessed is he who makes
it to the 1335th day - and counting 75 days BEFORE April
15, 2019 - this lands on January 30, 2019 (24th of
Shevat)
In my calculations, I am
assuming that
1) the 30 and 75 day counts come before
the Tribulation starts, and 2) the Tribulation is 1260
days long and 3) the prophetic clock stopped when Jesus
wept when He saw Jerusalem and said "You missed Me!" and
4) that this prophetic clock will start on the same day in
some year when the 'time of the Gentiles' is completed.
According to these
calculations, it sounds like something really bad may
happen on Jan 30 - because there is a blessing
for the people who endure this whole time period of 1335
days and make it to "the fulfillment of these wonders" and
to when "all these things will be completed." Daniel
12:6,7 ("It will be for a time, times, and half a
time." or 1260 days)
We don't know what the
'daily' is that is abolished (stopped/taken away)...people
have assumed it's the daily sacrifice (believing that this
shows there has to be a Third Temple built on the Temple
Mount in Jerusalem). The Third Temple is the last
temple and I believe that it will not be contaminated with
the blood of sheep or goats; I believe that G-d builds the
last Temple and brings it to earth - it will contain His
beloved Arc of the Covenant. Jesus was the FINAL
sacrificial lamb, I do not believe that this final Temple
will be contaminated with animal blood. If this is
so, then what could the 'daily' be if it's not a daily
sacrifice? What is done daily in Jerusalem
today? (The only 'daily' I can think of is prayers
at the Western Wall - Jews are there 24/7!)
I believe the 'daily'
could be the daily prayers at the Western (Wailing)
Wall...the U.N.'s Education, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) passed a resolution stating the
Temple Mount is exclusively a Muslim holy site and that
the Western Wall is a continuation of this Muslim holy
site. The U.N. (at least on paper) has given the Western
Wall to the Palestinians/Muslims so maybe Kushner's new
'peace treaty' will give this away to the Palestinians,
placating the U.N. somewhat. We know the
Palestinians won't sign unless they get something very
important...like the Western Wall, Temple Mount,
etc. And we know this plan will require pain for
Israel...these plans always do.
We are expecting for
Kushner's plan to be presented to the world soon - if
there is something in this about the Western Wall and that
Jews can't pray there anymore - is March 16th the date
'the daily is taken away'? As for January 30th, will
there be some worldwide disaster or possibly a widespread,
devastating ISIS attack?
These are just my
thoughts on the above mentioned article and the
possibilities of the fulfillment of the 1290 and 1335 day
counts for this year, 2019. These dates may all pass
with nothing important happening, or they might be worth
watching...AND Kushner's peace plan may hold some
prophetic dates for us to look at!
Maranatha!
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
