"The time of Jacob's trouble - revisited."

 
Shalom In Yeshua  -

July 2017.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.  I have not posted anything on 5 Doves for quite a while, but recently I feel compelled to do so do some thoughts that I have had.  I have even erroneously “sounded the alarm” so to speak twice before, once in 1997-98 and then again in 2015.  So I am NOT a prophet by any means.  However, something rather extraordinary happened to my thoughts about two weeks ago,(in church no less! Was it God’s Spirit?)  Please read this email thoroughly…. it will take about 7-8 minutes, and ask yourself “Could this be close to accurate?”.  If I am wrong, please forgive me, and tell me why.  But if I am correct, then those who shepherd the flock, and others as well should figuratively be “buying some oil for the wedding", so that none in the group of virgins be caught unaware.  Note:  To understand what follows you need to have a familiarity with shemitah cycles and the sign of Revelation 12 compared to this September.  Here goes:

After trying to figure things out about end times events since the early 90’s, it seemed that there were a lot of “false flag starts” to the end of the age.  Multiple events happened (signing of peace accords, Temple Mount provocations that put nations at defcon II, etc.).  Then about two weeks ago I had this thought:  What if the time of Jacob’s trouble is really 20-21 years instead of the traditional seven years?  It is!  Go read the account in Genesis.  Now that begs the question can we find “markers” to indicate the weeks of sevens are in process leading up to the final 42 months (Revelation does not speak of 7 years to my knowledge even though it uses that number dozens of times for other items).  And the answer is an astounding yes, plus we have two independent events which confirm the sevens!  My thanks to many, including Ron Reese, Bob Schlenker, Mark Biltz, Jonathan Cahn, 5 Doves, Jonathan Hall, etc. They have added considerably to my knowledge.   Here is the layout:

Starting point one shemitah week of  7 years before start of Jacob’s trouble, fall 1993-94:  Oslo Peace Accords are signed 3 days before Tishri one of the sabbath year. Set to be 5+2=7 years in length. Crowds outside the Knesset chanted “you have given us a covenant with death” Is. 28:15,18.
End point of one shemitah week later:  Ariel Sharon ascends the temple mount.  The third Intifada breaks out two days before Tishri one of next sabbath year.  Both Israel and Hamas legally nullify Oslo (the 7 year covenant!), exactly to the day. But the wording of Daniel indicates it will be confirmed/strengthened later!
KEY POINT:  Six months later (Passover 2001) the leading rabbi’s of Israel declare “This is the time of Jacobs Trouble.”  We now have a mark in the sand.  20-21 years before the end of the tribulation?  We should expect 3 seven year cycles culminating in Christ’s return. They, like Caiaphas before them, may have prophesied blindly but possibly accurately. 

End point of week one of Jacob’s Trouble, fall 2007-08:  This sabbath year will see the beginnings of a world wide financial meltdown.  Half way through this seven year period the modern Sanhedrin reforms, allowing for the fulfillment of Christ’s words that He won’t return until they (Sanhedrin) say “Blessed is He who comes in the name of Yahweh”  Matthew 23:39.

End point of week two of Jacob’s Trouble, fall 2014-15:  This sabbath year has several confirming events. The end of the last Tetrad moons for this century and an endpoint for seven weeks of Daniels prophecy.  Get this: in 1533AD After conquering Jerusalem, Suleiman the Great issued the edict to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, kicking off the second fulfillment of Daniel’s seventy weeks of seven years.  Exactly 62 gregorian “weeks” of years later (because Israel was not IN the land) ended during the Six Day War in June 1967 when the Knesset issued a second order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem after capturing Jerusalem and the temple area!  Calculating 7 “weeks” of 360 day years brings us to Yom Kippur 2015 and the end of the second week of Jacob’s troubles.  They both match!  Isaac Newton predicted this!! Three non-related confirming events to this pivotal year.

Week three of Jacob’s Trouble, ending fall 2021-22AD:  We are two years into this seven years, now expecting the sign of Revelation 12:1-2 in September.  In MY opinion, this means we are in the final seven of Jacob’s trouble AND the secondary fulfillment of Daniels 70 weeks.  I know, I know, hold your critique of why this cannot be true for a few more sentences.  What this indicates is that the sign or Rev.12 means the “great tribulation” or labor pains of 42 months is ABOUT to commence upon Israel.  It is not the rapture, because the bride of Christ is always feminine, not the man-child!  So an expected chronology for the final seven years of Jacob’s trouble would be that we are about 8? months away from the “great Tribulation” starting next spring, at which point the war in heaven concludes, Satan is thrown to earth (aliens arrive!) and has authority through the beast and false prophet for 42 months.  This then leaves ONE year and ten days (just like Noah) for the cleansing WRATH of God (fire instead of water).  And it occurs on a sabbath year, just like the archetype of circling Jericho 6 days then victory/destruction on day seven (a sabbath).
Side note about this timeframe:  Historically, the worst persecution ever for Christians worldwide has been since 2015, including decapitations.  More Christians are dying for our Lord than at any time in history.  Too bad the mainstream media ignores this.

OK, now for the naysayers and clean up with other prophesied 7 year events. Week five (fall 2022-2029AD) from onset of observable sevens from 1993-94. We are now done with Jacob’s Trouble, and our King reigns, Hallelujah!  There is one week of seven years left before “day two” ends.  From 27AD? to the start of Christ’s ministry until 2029AD there are two days of 1001 years.  Wow! Why not 1000 years? Well scripture says a day with the Lord is ABOUT 1000 years, and making it 1001 allows for each great day to be perfectly divisible by seven.  So what happens between 2022 and 2029?  Well, Israel burns the weapons of Armageddon for 7 years, and it takes 7 years to build the final temple. “After two days he will raise us up and on the third day we shall live before Him." There is nothing new under the sun.  It took Solomon 7 years to build that temple, and this way the millennium temple is completed exactly at the end of the second great day since Christ, the sixth great day since creation. Then there is one great day left in the week, the sabbath millenium! 

In summary there are three primary reasons why people may question this chronology:
1) If true, there is no pre-tribulation rapture, only a mid-tribulation or pre-wrath rapture.  I know this is a show stopper for most.  We will know for certain in less than a year.
2) Where are the 2300 morning/evening sacrifices?  Already done.  Maccabees records this amount during that revolt.  It doesn’t need repeating.
3) Where is the “tribulation temple”?  My belief (I wish I could prove this) is it is sitting on the temple mount now, and the beast will erect his image in the Dome of the Rock and cause Israel to flee from Judea and Samaria, realizing that their hope has betrayed them and simultaneously enrage and force Muslims to attack Israel.  Question: Is this why Y’shua in Matthew 24 says rather oddly “let the reader understand?”, and to those is Judea and Samaria to flee - which is the modern day West Bank?  Astounding!

And finally a possible sign for His actual advent?  According to ground-breaking research, somewhere in the neighborhood of 2021-22AD, there will be an observable super nova collision (probably daylight visible) caused by two stars colliding in….  get this…. the constellation known as “the cross”.  I’m hesitant to say that this is “the sign” of His coming, but who knows.

OK, that is basically it.  I hope it was clear enough, even though lengthy and complex.  Even criticisms are welcome.  I don’t want to falsely “sound the alarm” again.  If questions please respond to me at glp76csp@gmail.com.  Due to physical issues I may not respond immediately.

Under His Mighty Grace,
