Dear John & Doves,

According to a friend of mine , who prefers to remain anonymous, there is a high probability for the following scenario:

"If Jesus was born in 4 BC - and some scholars have embraced that conclusion - then He would have begun public ministry in AD 27 (see Luke 3:23).  According to the early church fathers, His public ministry lasted about a year, NOT the three years asserted by Eusebius.  This means He was crucified at Passover in AD 29.

"Two 'days' later is 2029.  We expect Him to return after or shortly before the end of the 42 months of Rev. 13:5, and we also expect that 42 months to begin with the rapture and the confirmation of the covenant.

"Forty-two months (1,260 days) before the end of 2029 would be this coming July 20th.  

"However, the rapture and confirmation most probably do not happen at the same time.  Rather, the child is 'born' (Rev. 12:5) and then "caught up", and THEN the Dragon pursues the "woman" who flees to the wilderness, and THEN the 1,260 days begins.

"We are really close."

All the Best,
Mike
