God's Calendars
(a study in time)
Revised July, 2014
There 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 - especially concerning end times.
I propose that the following will bring us to the discovery that God has provided us with a
simple calendar count that will help us in this endeavor.
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 todays 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
the secret as to our current time-table and general accuracy to where we are in relation
to end-time events. My reasoning is due to the frequency of cycles and patterns
throughout history.
NOTE: 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.
There are many dates recorded in scripture but in this study, however, the main dates,
which provide the basic evidence and/or coincidences which may ultimately be the
deciding factor as to relevance and importance, are the focus of this study.
The following is a record of time as I've determined from scripture which begins
with Genesis and ends in the year 2014 + 7 = 2021.
Following this I will explain the various cycles and their relevance which I believe will be
a strong evidence for the accuracy of this study.
As I have posted this calendar study before on line, it should be noted that changes have
been made as new insights and information have become available.

+ 47.8 + 47.1 360/day & June 9/10, 1967 on 365.25/day calendar.
6287.8 6197.4 - Suggested time of the Rapture/Tribulation.
TIME OF THE RAPTURE - (Possible) -
The following is another attempt to suggest when the Rapture might be.
These dates are based on repeated cycles/patterns in this study.
Presently, I see a striking coincidence in cycles for the Rapture to
happen in the year 6287.8 = January 17/18, 2043.8 on 360 and 6197.4 -
on the 365.25 and our current Aug. 31/Sept.1, 2014.
The January 17/18 date corresponds to when the Babylon captivity started
on the 360/day as well as when Israel left Mt. Sinai for the Promised Land
on the 365.25/day - see study above. The August 31/Sept.1 date corresponds
to the resurrection of Jesus (on the 360/day). Sept. 1 is also Rosh HaShanah &
1 Tishrei the first day of the Jewish year on the civil calendar.
The start of the Babylon captivity may have been the beginning for "the times
of the Gentiles". The "fullness of the Gentiles" ends with the Rapture, with
the times of the Gentiles continuing until the end of the Tribulation. This is
my present understanding of these two time periods.
TIME OF THE TRIBULATION - (Possible) -
March 9/10, 6288 on the 360/day corresponds to Israel's arrival into the
Promise Land (Gilgal) in the year 2562. The March 9/10, 6288 date corres-
ponds with our October 22/23 on the 365.25. The significance of October
22/23 is that it corresponds to Pentecost in the year 4275.6 on the 360/day.
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. Similarily, 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 thosedates needed for this study - namely the Exodus date; the
Babylonion time frame and lastly, the birth and crucifixion of Jesus along with
the starting date for our end-time count.
I trust this study will be a blessing.
Keep looking up - Jesus is coming soon!
