The
Apostle Barnabas, Iranaeus, Justin Martyr and more recently,
Bishop Hugh
Latimer, Clarence Larkin and Grant Jeffrey, all espoused
that 6,000 years of
human history would transpire before the Millennial reign of
Christ. Hundreds
of Jewish Rabbis have agreed.
For
many years I thought that timeline expired in the year 2,000
AD. However, I
recently mused that God and the Bible deal in Lunar years. I
decided to
calculate the Lunar years starting with Adam. I came to the
following
conclusion:
Biblically-based
years from Adam to Christ are 4,000 lunar years (I will
submit my Chronology of
Man in the near future to prove those 4,000 years). Calendar
year 2,000 AD is
based on Solar years (365.25 days). Multiplying 2,000 x
365.25 produces 730,500
days.If we
then convert to Lunar years
and divide by 360 (days in a Lunar year), we come to 2029 AD
(730,500/360 =
2,029).
Hosea
6:1,2
Hosea
6:1,2 state that Godtore/judged
Israel
(probably referring to 32 AD when the Nation crucified our
Lord). If we choose
to use Solar reckoning in this instance, we come to 2032 AD.God did not raise
up Israel after two 24-hour
days; therefore we need to apply 2 Peter 3:8 and Psalm 90:4
which state that
one day is a thousand years. He WILL raise up Israel when He
returns at the end
of the Tribulation Week (Zechariah 12:10,11; 13:1), which
would be 2032 AD - IF
I rightly interpret Hosea 6:1,2.
I
don’t know if God will use Lunar or Solar reckoning, or
both.What I do
know is that Lunar expires 2029 AD
and Solar 2032 AD.
Prophecy
of St. Malachy
Apparently,
a person by the name of St. Malachy
prophesied in 1139 AD that the 112th Pope, starting
with Pope
Celestine II, would be the final Pope of the Catholic Church.He would be reigning
when the city of seven
hills falls and Babylon is judged. The current Pope, Francis
I, is the 112th
Pope from Celestine II. He
is 84 years
old. It is my opinion that the fall of Babylon in Revelation
17:1-9 occurs at
the middle of the Tribulation Week.It
is also my opinion that the Catholic Church is Mystery Babylon
the Great.
IF 2032
AD is the terminal year, then the
destruction of Mystery Babylon occurs 3½ years prior – in 2029
AD.
