Olaf,
When I read your interesting post last week I saw a possible added meaning or another way of looking at your data.
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2020/olaf112.htm
Your research focused onto a date this April due to counting backward 1260 days from a date in 2023. The date you arrived on was April 4th this year which is on or near Passover.
I have been curious and focused on a possible date that the two end time witnesses would show up. And I believe you may have (through your research) supplied that date.
The ministry of the two witnesses lasts 1260 days which is the same time frame you projected in your post.
The bible in Malachi 4:5 states that the Lord will send Elijah the prophet onto the world scene to minister to....... “the hearts of the fathers to the children and minister to the hearts of the children to their fathers”...... And He will do this before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
If Elijah happens to be one of the two end time witnesses then I believe the date you focused on of 4 April could very well be the date of his (or their) arrival.
It's my understanding that every year during the Passover period that the Jews set an extra table place setting for Elijah in hopes of his appearance at the Passover meal.
This years Passover period is on or near the date you chose of 4 April. And the time period that you “backed up from” from September 2023 of 1260 days is the exact term of the ministry of the two witnesses proclaimed in Revelation 11.
In my posts to 5Doves I have several times expressed that I believe the two end time witnesses and the end times antichrist will show up at the same general time frame to kick off their concurrent ministries......one good ministry (the two witnesses) and one evil (the antichrist). The arrival of these three players on the world stage will signal the start of the 7 year period portrayed in scripture.
If the two witnesses do arrive around 4 April this year then as per scripture I expect 3 popes to also be “dismissed” as is prophesied in Zechariah 11 around that same time. Zechariah says that these 3 shepherds (popes) will all be dismissed within a months time. And yes, there are 3 popes...... Francis, Benedict and then John Paul ll whose body has been mysteriously preserved in a cryogenic chamber in the bowels of the Vatican for many years.
If this is or could be the case then these popes could be “dismissed” before, during or soon after that 4 April date.......within a months time (as per scripture).
This could prove to be quite the exciting spring if all of this was to occur then kicking off the last week of the 70 weeks or the last 7 year period before the start of the 1000 year millennial period.
I wrote extensively last year about all of this and how all of this tied into the wording of Psalms 119 to Psalms 125 where I surmised that the 7 year period was to kick off last spring. Was I a year off in my calculations or our are calendars off one year from God's calendar?.....that has always raised questions as to the accuracy of calendars and which calendar does God go by!? God's wording there in Psalms 1119 to 126 is still valid and seemingly very appropriate to what's going on worldwide.
I will try to adjust / review the complicated / detailed post I wrote last year on these Psalms by reviewing the verbiage of these Psalms...... forwarding the scenario by one year to see if they still make sense and align with other scriptures portrayed to happen in this era of time.....but that's for another day and another post.
Blessings Olaf and Doves......John B
