Jesus told us His coming would be as it was in the days of Noah.  In the context, Jesus describes that His coming would be unexpected in that life would basically be normal, with buying/selling, marriages, etc. He did not say particular people would not be experiencing tragedy, nor that particular communities would not be dealing with difficulties, nor that even particular countries, or areas of the world, would not be dealing with some type of devastation, because all of these are also part of normal life.  I believe what Jesus meant was that His coming, a global event, would not have a global sign, or lead-up, or indicator (except the sign of Jonah which I will touch on). Those watching for Jesus would see a buildup of many signs, but to the average person, His coming would be unexpected.

He points to the "normal life" in terms of the days leading up to the world wide water judgement of Noah's time.  Prior, I had assumed Jesus was also giving us a timing clue, because the flood happened on Noah's 17th day of his 2nd month.  

I now believe that, "Yes", Jesus was giving us a timing clue, but not in terms of the timing of the Noah flood judgement, but simply when He pointed us to the "days" of Noah. The scriptues, in Genesis, gives us detail on a number of different "days" of Noah.  The 17th day of the 2nd month, which was followed by 40 days of rain/flooding, is not the only "day" of Noah.  There are other "days".  

And one in particular, the 1st day of the 10th month, is also followed by a period of 40 days.  At the end of those 40 days, a raven is released out of an opened window.  I believe this is the the "day" of Noah we are to pay attention to.

Because July 3/4 is the 1st day of the 4th month on the popular jewish calendar, this can be converted to the 1st day of the 10th month on Noah's calendar. It was after the 9th plague of Egypt that God set up Israel's calendar and it was offset from the nations' (Noah's) calendar by six months.

Per Genesis 8:5-12, 40 days from this "day", Noah released the raven, a type/shadow, I believe, of the evil one's false-messiah. In other words, the first seal judgement will have been opened in heavenly places and the white horse rider released. Though this spirit will begin to manefest on the world stage through a person at this time (on the day after the jews' Tisha B Av this year or about August 11/12), I am NOT saying that he will "reveal himself" for who he is, at that very moment, by confirming the covenant with many.

When Noah sent out the raven after the 40 days, he also sent out the dove at the same time, though the dove came back to him. This, I believe represents the Holy Spirit being sent out of heavely places for a brief time. However, right now, the Holy Spirit is on the earth in us! For the Holy Spirit to fulfill Noah's dove and get sent out briefly from heavenly places at the end of Noah's 40 days, that means we will already be in heavenly places at that time. I believe the Holy Spirit is sent back to earth to gather up those who repented at the Jonah sign (which I will explain in the next part). At the end of those 40 days, the last of God's temple on earth is gone, fulfilling a version of Tisha B Av, as the raven then manefests on the world stage. 

Keep in mind that Noah's 1st day of the 10th is July 3/4.  I keep emphasizing the 4th of July.  Remember that Belshazzar was celebrating even though the enemy was active, getting into position to launch an attack, before it finally happened after the party started. I am thinking the same for the end-of-the-church-age Babylon.  So, if I count 40 days inclusively from July 3rd, it ends on Tisha B Av this year.  The day after Tisha B Av, it will all be over.

Those last 40 days are also the 40 extra days that Eve had to wait after Adam went into the presence of God in the Garden.  The dove, being sent out of the ark's window at the same time of the raven, comes back to "Noah" with "Eve".  Yet, if so, then why does the dove come back the first time without anything in its beak to give to Noah like she did the second time seven days later?  It is because when she comes back the first time, she comes back with Eve being "in union" with her because Eve is a new creation in Christ Jesus.  Per I Corinthians 6:17, new creations are in union with the Godhead by their very union with the Holy Spirit.  Eve is not something to he carried in the dove's beak, in other words.

We are aware that there remains a 7 year "time of Jacob's trouble" that will take place in the future.  However, to understand where those 7 years fit, one needs to understand Jacob's story.  Basically, there were 7 years for Leah, 7 years for Rachel, 7 years for the livestock.  Each set of 7 years was 6 years of work followed by a year off.  21 years all together.

Jesus is about to get His Leah.  That means there are 14 years left until Jesus comes back to earth, planting His feet on the Mount of Olives.

The first set of 7 years for Leah are just about done.  We are the barley harvest that comes to an end just BEFORE the Spica-Abib Feast of Shavuot.  Jesus is going to take the barley harvest all the way, and right up to the day the wheat wave loaves get offered.  We are not represented by the wheat harvest.

The second set of 7 years for Rachel will start on the day of the wheat  loaves wave offering, representing the full harvest of wheat at the end of these 7 years, when the fulness of the gentiles is brought in.  These 7 years are the time of the 7 seal judgements of Revelation.  It is the time when a tribulum will be used to seperate the chaff from the wheat kernels.

The third set of 7 years are the time of Jacob's trouble, during which the trumpet judgements and the bowl judgements will take place.  At the end of this will be the time of the fruit harvest.  Jesus will return to earth near the end of this.

The second set of 7 years is to bring to an end the times of the Gentiles.  Ezekiel's Gog/Magog war happens towards the end of this second set of 7 years.  During this second set of 7 years, Israel is going to get devastated by Islam and there will be a lot of beheadings.  It is the time of the Seal judgements of Revelation.  It will be at the events of the sixth seal that Jesus will destroy Islam.    At the end of this 7 years, the dove will be sent out of heaven a second time, and return with a group represented by the olive branch in her beak.  In other words, at the end of the second set of 7 years, Jesus will have gotten a second group, bringing them to Him at a second rapture.

You see these two raptures in Paul's experience as described by Him in II Corinthians 12.  The first rapture he experiences is up to the third heaven.  That is what we are about to experience.  Then, within a 14 year window of time (a clue pointing to the total of 14 years of judgement yet to come) he experiences another rapture but this time he is taken up only to Paradise.  This is a type/shadow of the rapture when the dove gets sent out the second time and returns with the olive branch.  Those folks at that rapture are taken to a different "arena" of heavenly places, called Paradise, than where we will reside in the third heaven.

7 (days) years later, the dove will get sent out a third time, yet will not return because Jesus has set up His earthly kingdom then.

So, for Noah's dove to get sent out of the window of heaven the FIRST time, she will already have been in heaven in us (the Adam portion of the body of Christ).  When she gets sent out that first time, after Noah's 40 days are over, she will then return with Eve, in union with her, and just before the evil one's pseudo-messiah begins his dark work on the world stage around Tisha B Av.

The harpatzo of the Adam group takes place July 3/4, just before Babylon's judgements start.  Jesus will come for us in the clouds.  It will be at this time that Jesus Himself fulfills the sign of Jonah to Ninevah, that they have 40 days before the first seal of Revelation is opened.
