May 14/15, 1948 = June 5/6, 1975......... AND .......June 5/6, 2012 = May 17/18, 2040

 

 

When calculating years on the 365/day as we have done on our current calendar, it's

pretty amazing that when you convert the 365/day year to the 360/day calendar year

for our May 14/15, 1948 the date translates to June 5/6, 1975 on the 360/day.............

 

May 14/15, 1948 = June 5/6, 1975

 

Again, when converting our current June 5/6, 2012 year on the 365/day calendar, the

accurate date on the 360/day calendar = May 17/18, 2040.

 

June 5/6, 2012 = May 17/18, 2040

　

What about Leap Years? -

 

Every 4th year there is an extra day added to our calendar. However, this doesn't alter

or change the counting of years - at least not according to our calendar counting method.

If it would, as an example, 1948 would actually be 1949 years when calculating on the

365.25/day year. That would be a perpetual count and would altar the year count considerably

over a long period of time, but that is not how our calendar works.

 

I believe the perpetual count is exactly the form that God arranged in the genealogical

record only by using the 360/day count and converting to the 365.25/day calendar instead.

However, that is not what our current calendar is based upon. So, for accuracy and as demon-

strated above, our May 14/15, 1948 year does translate to June 5/6, 1975 from the 365/day

calendar to the 360/day calendar.

 

The Relevancy of May 14/15, June 5/6 and May 17/18 -

 

May 14/15 -

 

May 14/15 is the date that the Israelites arrived at Mt. Sinai, that is if you interpret the

bible passages and arrive at the same date as I have. I believe this is the only way we

can interpret the record as given in Exodus.

 

Exodus 19:1 states: "In the third month (May), after the Israelites left Egypt (March),

on the VERY DAY (meaning the day they left - 14/15, is the same day they arrived -

14/15 - only 3 months later - May) they came to the Desert of Sinai."

 

May 17/18 -

 

Exodus 19:10-11 then states "And the Lord said to Moses, "Go to the people and

consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes, and be ready

by the third day (May 17), because on that day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai

in the sight of all the people." Counting the first day of the 15th (they came out on the

15th of March) plus 2 days = the 17th.

 

June 5/6 -

 

June 5/6 in the year 1967 was the date for the beginning of the 6-day war with Israel.

I don't know the relevancy of all this, except to say that with June 5/6, 2012 being

observed by many as a possible Rapture date, I found it interesting that when using

the calendar conversion we find May 14/15, 1948 equals June 5/6 which is the year

that Israel was once again recognized and restored as a nation.

 

Also, when considering a "2nd Passover" as we recently discovered in Numbers

9:6-13, then following with a 2nd Pentecost would bring the date to June 3/4, i.e.

April 14/15 + 50 days = June 3/4 which brings us to another possible occasion for

the June 5/6 date.

 

Hosea 6:2 reads "After two days he will revive us, on the third day he will restore

us, that we may live in his presence." Could this mean that the first day of June

3rd, the second day of June 4th and the third day of June 5 will be the fulfillment of this

prophecy? Assuming, of course, the two days is a literal two days and not the "thousand

years as a day" theory.   Also, recall that the June 5/6, 2012 date corresponds to May 17/18 on

the 360/day calendar as explained above, with the May 17 date once again being the third day

after the Israelites arrived at Mt. Sinai.

 

What I'm speculating at here is maybe, if the Rapture doesn't happen earlier, the Rapture could

be on the 3rd (2nd Pentecost date) and the tribulation then starting on the 5th? Just wondering.

 

OR..............................

 

DOES ISRAEL START THE TRIBULATION ON THE SAME DATE WHEN THE

BABYLON CAPTIVITY BEGAN? WILL THE FINAL 7 YEARS OF THE 490 YEARS

BEGIN WHERE THE INITIAL PUNISHMENT FOR NOT KEEPING SABBATHS

(70 YRS.) BEGAN/ENDED OVER 2600 YEARS AGO?

 

After suffering 70 years of captivity Israel still didn't honor the Sabbaths as required by

God. Consequently, after suffering the 70 year Babylon Captivity, God pronounced 490

years upon Israel. 483 of those years have been completed with 7 remaining.

 

The Bible teaches that the actual date of the 3rd Babylon Deportation happened on the

seventh day in the fifth month (July 7) - see 2 Ki. 25:19. This date began the literal 70 years

of the Babylon Captivity.

 

Now, recall that on the 3rd day when God came down and spoke to the people (May 17),

afterwards, Moses was called up to Mt. Sinai to see God again. He then came

back down as the Lord commanded and gave instructions to the Israelites as the Lord told

him to do. The next day he went back up to the mountain and stayed for 7days after

which He came down to speak with the people again according to God's instructions.

Again he went back up to the mountain and stayed for 40 days upon which time

God gave him the 10 Commandments written in stone, carved with His own finger.

That's when Moses came down and saw the "Golden Calf" and broke the tablets

with the writing of the 10 Commandments.

 

That time frame begins May 17 and ends July 4 - 3 days before the infamous date when

the 3rd Babylon Deportation began and the final 70 years of captivity. May 17 is also when the

"Covenant" was "confirmed" - see Exodus 24:1-3. The next morning Moses built

an altar as a sign of the "confirmation" - Exodus 24:4 - May 18. From the confirmation

of the covenant to July 7 is 50 days.

 

Note that it was on the final 40th day (July 4) when God is now instructing Moses regarding

the "sabbaths" - see Exodus 31:12-18. God then goes into detail regarding the

punishment for disobedience. 70 years punishment or 70 x 7 yrs. is recorded and detailed

in Leviticus 26: 14-35. This, of course, is what happened to Israel for their failure to

keep the Sabbaths and as a result the 70 year Babylon Captivity was iniflicted upon

them - July 7.

 

So, here we are at the end of the first 40 days Moses spent with God which is the

July 4th date as stated earlier. Strange, isn't it, that July 4 just happens to be 3 days

before the date that the 70 year Babylon Captivity began - July 7? And all because Israel

didn't keep the "Sabbaths" and as a result suffered tremendously as God stated

they would - for 70 years. The same date God is warning about what consequences

would occur for disobedience is just 3 days prior to the July 7 date when the extreme

punishment of the Babylon Captivity occurred.

 

Back to the 3-days of Hosea. Could these 3 days involve a time frame for when

Moses and Elijah establish their ministry and during the first 2 days Israel is being

"revived" and finally on the 3rd day is "restored" and has the blindness from their

eyes removed - thus starting the tribulation and the 3 1/2 year ministry of Moses

and Elijah alongside the 144,000? Will the final 7 years begin on the historical day

of July 7, 2012? Time will tell.

 

In any event, we know His coming is very near and we wait with eager anticipation

knowing He will not disappoint and will appear at the appointed time.

Keep looking up!

CALENDAR QUESTIONS:

 

Beginning with Adam, no one knows with 100% accuracy exactly what day we are on in

God's divine order of events throughout these thousands of years. I can't help but believe

that there is actually more than one operating calendar that God has set in motion, and wonder,

is our current calendar one that is God ordained? I've seen this questions asked repeatedly,

some wondering how far off we are on our calendar - a sensible and normal question to be sure.

God's system of dating events, as demonstrated in Leviticus, has given us one method of

keeping the feasts, etc. However, could there be definitive dates that God holds in special

honor for the celebration of major feasts, i.e. Passover, Penecost, etc.? I believe there are

these established and appointed set dates that will be remembered throughout eternity.

 

Example:

 

The first Passover occured exactly, to the day, after 400/430 years, on March 14/15. How

do we know this? The Bible is explicite in giving us specific details in this regard. See

Genesis 12:40-41 - "Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years.

At the end of the 430 years, TO THE VERY DAY (meaning from March 14/15 to March 14/15),

all the Lord's divisions left Egypt." Any other method other than calculating on the 360/day

cycle simply will not accomplish the exact time frame as introduced in this passage of scripture.

For that reason, along with others that I won't develop here, I believe each year, on the initial date

of Passover, March 14/15, and without making calendar adjustments, that date is recognized by

God as one of HIs primary appointed dates and will be an honored day for eternity. And even

more so because Jesus died on that specific date - March 14/15, (i.e. the 1st month) IMO.

 

Picture this if you will, imagine our heavenly gathering in recognition of one of the most

memorable dates in history. What day will it fall on? It's been a different day every year. There

won't be moon or sun to calculate any of the feasts, so to me it's pretty obvious that God has

an appointed date that doesn't require adjustments to satisfy requirements made in Leviticus.

He has established as a permanent fixed time and date March 14/15 as a celebratory date for all

of eternity, IMO.

 

However, for purposes other than explained above, we have the need to reckon calendar

changes each year so that the annual feasts conform to the exact time-frame God

established for us in Leviticus. Accordingly, Passover as well as the other feasts occur on

different dates each year. So how do we know if our current dating system is actually in line with

God's appointed times? It seems to me that God has designed our system and has worked

sovereignly to create our calendar as a working calendar in conjunction with His divinely

appointed dates. A good example is the May 14/15, 1948 year in which Israel came together

again as a nation. An appointed time in God's program and divinely inspired.

 

When working on the calendar system from that time-frame (1948), we have come to our present

course in history that God has ordained and I don't believe we're off one day since He has

perfected it for His Glory and Honor. That is not to say that there aren't other operational

calendars, but each one, IMO, will ultimately lead us to the miraculous May 14/15, 1948 date.

For these reasons, I believe we need to calculate from the initial dates recorded in Leviticus

when determining specifically what time-frame we are currently in - that means without making

calendar adjustments - again IMO.

 

Anyway, I've enjoyed this discussion with myself! laugh!

 

Again, keep looking up - He's as eager as we are to bring us home.
