"Perhaps"

Regarding the timeline presented in:

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2017/tedp611.htm

In particular the final 42 month reign of the beast to begin on Inauguration Day, 1/20/21.

From the book, “Arithmetic of God” available for free download currently at the following site:

Under the number 42:

42 Second Coming of Jesus

 Let's take 42. Number 42 is the number associated with the Coming of Jesus: both His first coming and the two manifestations at His second advent (He came into the world the first time in the 42nd generation from Abraham). He is coming back for His saints before the 42-month reign of the beast, perhaps 42 months before the beast's reign begins. He will return to the earth at the end of the 42-month reign of the beast to put an end to the wicked reign.

Notice the perhaps?

So when is 42 months before 1/20/21?  If we use calendar months to count back this brings us to July 20, 2017 Noon EST.  Shouldn’t we use our current calendar for events which start after the adoption of our current calendar?

While God could fulfill this to the second if that is His will, we know that we are dealing with month increments of time.  Since July and for that matter August have 31 days, the month range is calculated by subtracting and adding 31 days divided by 2 or 15.5 days to either side of July 20, 2017 at Noon EST.  We can see this gives us a range starting at the very end of July 4, 2017, midnight EST, to the end of August 4, 2017, midnight EST. 

The first date should be easily recognized as the birthday of the United States of America, born out of the American colony of the British Crown.  The second date should also be easily recognized as the birthday of the previous head of the United States of America, the 6th president to rule in the succession starting at Jimmy Carter with the confirming the Camp David Peace Accords.

In the proposed timeline based on the last 7 of Daniel’s 70 times 7 prophecy married with the prophecy of the second beast in Revelation 13, he would be the 8th president in this succession starting with Jimmy Carter as well.  In addition, he was last inaugurated in the 66th inauguration of a United States president and will possibly be inaugurated in the 68th and last as well.  For as the head, the land of the United States is the horn, and the government of the United States is the crown.  Which will end when Jesus Christ returns to take that crown and the crowns of all nations.

32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens:but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.  Acts 2:32-35

As John Tng pointed out, he is also the one who had been alive 666 months, rounded off to the nearest month, when his presidency ended January 20, 2017.  This rounding resulted in being short of exactly 666 months by 42 one hundredths of a month.  Which can be interpreted that he has 42 months still left to finish as head of the “free” world.  Which may well begin January 20, 2021.

For all these reasons, July 20, 2017 is worthy to be watched.

 

Shalom,
