Please
forward the below to any Non-Believers with a “scientific background”
that you believe may find the below helpful in convincing them that the
God of
the Bible is alive and well today.
A Trillion Reasons why Non-Believers should realize the end-times are almost here
To
all Non-Believers out there, please do not stop reading this before you
get to the end. This may be your last chance. You need to know that
you are already
very much loved by God, a God you do not yet know. But please don’t
think I am looking down on you! Indeed, not that long ago, I too would
have classified myself as a Non-Believer. For me, it took a life
changing event from God to make me realize that Jesus
loves all of us, but yet still requires all us to see His Light before
it’s too late. Nonetheless, each person must make a personal choice to
see His Light, for the One True God is a just God and will not FORCE you
to love Him.
To
further complicate things, His patience is limited by the allotted time
God has designated for this earth, an allotted time I will show appears
to be rapidly
coming to an end. Regardless, you could die within this very hour and
wake up in the wrong place – a place I wouldn’t wish upon anyone.
I
have produced this document in order to provide Non-Believers with
MATHEMATICAL proof, using LOGICAL formulas straight from the Bible, and
applying them DIRECTLY
to historical Israel-related events, as to why God of the Bible is VERY
MUCH in control. He is not only very much in control, even today, but
He will soon be reintroducing Himself to the World in a visible way.
What you believe will have a huge impact on
how this reintroduction will affect you.
So
on that note, I challenge you to read what I have written below with an
open mind and allow any doubts it may stir up to grow into a desire to
seek the Truth.
After all, what do you have to lose except your soul? And if you still
end up not believing, what have you truly lost except a few minutes of
your time?
The
purpose of this post is that, while I have seen an abundance of
excellent qualitative analysis on why the Biblical end-times are just
around the corner, I have
not seen any really rigorous quantitative analysis,
analysis that truly ties all of the Israel-related historical events
together in one place. I now supply the below article to do just that.
However, before I continue, I feel that it would
be beneficial to first explain how I got to the place that I am writing
to you today:
•
My
journey to accept Jesus as my savior is perhaps the least romantic you
will ever hear, revolving around, oddly enough, mathematical analysis.
First,
I REALLY researched and decided that evolution was non-sensible
(skeptics, please keep reading – I’m going somewhere important with this
contention – this will NOT be an article about evolution vs.
creation). In the end, I felt that the odds of such amazing
complex life randomly occurring from chaos were just too astronomical
to accept. This had huge ramifications to me as creation was the only
alternative for me, which therefore meant that a god(s) of some sort had
to exist. In essence, my logic told me that,
where there is a design, there is a designer and where there is an
infinitely complex design, there is an infinitely complex designer.
•
During
this journey, I quickly realized that I needed to analyze which of the
various god(s) had the highest probability of being responsible for
bringing
us here and that he/she/they would want us to know him/her/them. After
much research, it eventually became clear that only Christianity made
sense for reasons I will outline below. This was quite a surprise to me
since I was actually VERY skeptical of Christianity
before I began this quest. Like many others out there, perhaps
including you, I had WAY TOO MANY run-ins with those self-righteous
“Christians” that try to make you feel inadequate compared to them (by
the way, I still can’t stand them).
•
Even
though I accepted the contention that Christianity was the answer and
even though my mind quickly accepted Jesus as a “logical fact”, it
wasn't until
a while later that I truly gave my heart to Jesus! Indeed, for me, one
of the main turning points towards Christianity was prophecy and it’s
amazing accuracy to what has gone AND IS GOING ON in this world. That
is, that prophecy written hundreds and thousands
of years ago is still applicable today…even more so!!
•
In
particular, the rebirth of Israel and the Six-Day War to take Jerusalem
was a huge eye-opener for me. I believe it would be for you as well if
you
will simply take the time to research it. After all, who originally
set the six-days of work rule which is followed by a day of rest
pattern? God Himself – it is in the very first pages of Genesis.
Patterns repeat – this is written all over the history
books in the Six-Day War – it is well documented.
•
The
other "thing" that sold me on Christianity is that it is the only faith
where God reaches down to us (through His Son Jesus) versus us having
to reach
up for Him. Jesus is reaching for you today, but His gift of free will
requires each of us to purposefully give Him permission to pick us up
before He will do so.
At
this point, you may be asking yourself, “After almost 2000 years, why
us?” After all, almost 2000 years has passed since Jesus died and the
Biblical end-times
have not yet commenced. What makes us think that, after all of these
centuries, we would be the ones to witness these long foretold Biblical
end-time events begin? As such, I diligently reviewed Scripture and
compared it to Jewish history to see if there
was solid quantitative evidence pointing to the fact that the Biblical end-times must be starting soon.
As
mentioned above, while I found an abundance of qualitative articles
outlining the many, many signs and events that currently point to the
fact that Jesus is coming
for us soon, I hadn't seen anything quantitatively put together
comprehensively in a single document. That is, there was excellent
mathematical analysis to be found, but none that REALLY tied all of
these seemingly random events together.
After
much research in the area, incredibly (but not so with God, for all is
possible with Him), I came to believe that the history of Israel /
Jerusalem shows us
that there is not only one event in Israel's history pointing to the
Biblical end-times being just around the corner, but there were actually
fourteen events!! Remember, Israel / Jerusalem is the center of all
prophecy in the Bible and there is reason that
the Jews are still a separate people after all of these thousands of
years.
The Mathematical Clues: With no further delay, the fourteen events pointing
towards the nearness of the Biblical end-times, outlined in chronological order, are as follows:
1.
Around 4000 BC + 6000 years:
The Birth of Adam around 4000 BC
(according to Biblical genealogy) + time to first sin (wherein sin is
referred to as "death" by God) + 120 Jubilees (also equal to 6 "1000
year" days, with the millennium being the 1000 year "day of rest") is
APPROXIMATELY our generation
Note on the Jubilee:
The Jews have long lost accurate track of when a Jubilee
year occurs. However, rest assured that such timing is significant to
God and that God Himself has kept track. The Jubilee is described in
the Bible as a period wherein property is returned to its original owner
after 49 years, terminating at the end of
the 50th year (50 years in span). God’s purpose for the Jubilee was to
keep people out of perpetual debt, providing them with freedom to
live. Given 2008’s GFC that continues to this day, I am sure “99%” of
us out there wish that this was still practiced.
2.
Around 2000 BC + 4000 years: Covenant with Abraham (around 2000
BC) + 80 Jubilees is APPROXIMATELY our generation
3.
Around 1500 BC + 3500 years: The Time of Exodus (around 1500
BC) + 70 Jubilees is APPROXIMATELY our generation
4.
Around 0 AD + 2000 years: The Life of Jesus + 40 Jubilees, equal
to 2 "1000 year" periods (or days) is APPROXIMATELY our generation
Note:
The 120, 80, 70 & 40 figures illustrated above are very important
time allotments in the Bible when it comes to time spans. They all
refer to beginning to end or trial periods. Unfortunately, due to an
already too long article, an elaborate Biblical explanation of each of
these numbers will have to wait until another day,
even though these numbers are discussed in less detail below.
5.
1517 + 500 Years: Entire area of Israel, including Jerusalem,
captured by the Ottoman Empire in 1517 + 10 Jubilees (10 x 50 years) is in the near future
6.
1534 + 483 Years: Suleiman (Arab for Solomon) announces Jerusalem
be rejuvenated in 1534. 1534 + 69 "weeks" (69 x 7 years), equal to 483 Gregorian years, is in the near future.
Side Note: It could even turn out that God may have allowed this
particular timing in order to facilitate the grand deception by the
Anti-Christ to proclaim that the "69 Week" prophecy of Daniel pertains
to him and him alone and that he is the "one
true" messiah and that Jesus was a farce. While all lies, only
befitting of the master of lies, the Bible indicates that this claim
will be enforced by death by beheading (Revelation)
7.
1897 + 120 Years:
The First Zionist Congress convened and proclaimed
the right of the Jewish people to national rebirth in its own country
in 1897 (this is the VERY FIRST Fig Tree event referred to in Matthew
24:32-34) + 120 years (referenced as the longest of life spans in
Genesis 6:3 and matches the latest age used in standard
actuarial tables), is in the near future
8.
1917 + 100 Years:
Entire area of Israel, including Jerusalem,
captured by the British Empire and declared future home for the Jews
(the Balfour Declaration) on Hanukkah 1917 + 2 Jubilees (2 x 50 years),
is in the near future
9.
1947 + 70 Years:
Israel formally declared home of Jews by UN
Resolution on Hanukkah 1947 + Generation of 70 years (Matthew 24:32-35,
Psalm 90:10, Isaiah 23:15, Hosea 9:10), is in the near future
10.
1948 + 70 Years: Daniel 9:2 states,
"In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the
number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the
prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of
Jerusalem." The Hebrew word for "desolations"
is "lecharevovt", which is unequivocally plural, meaning more than one
desolation. As such, could this not be only referring to the one time
that Jerusalem was made desolate, but to every time it was made
desolate, both present and future? History shows
us that there have been exactly three desolations since Daniel wrote
this prophecy, with the most recent desolation adding to the evidence
pointing to the near future. But first some history:
•
First Desolation:
Jerusalem became desolate in 586 BC, when Babylonians
destroyed Jerusalem and the First Temple. Just as God had promised,
the Jews were eventually allowed to return from exile and rebuild their
temple. The Second Temple was completed in the year 516 BC, exactly 70
years after its desolation in 586 BC
•
Second Desolation:
The first Jewish revolt began in 66 AD. The
revolt was crushed and Jerusalem was destroyed again, this time by the
Romans, in 70 AD. Once again, Jerusalem became desolate. After a lull,
there was a Second Jewish Revolt in 135 AD. Right after this Second
Jewish Revolt, the Hadrian rebuilt Jerusalem
as a pagan city named Aelia Capitolina. The building of Aelia was
finished by 140 AD, exactly 70 years after its desolation in 70 AD.
Note that no temple was required to end the desolation in this
particular case as Aelia was now a pagan, not a Jewish, city
•
Final Desolation?:
On May 28, 1948, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli
War, old Jerusalem, which is now called the Jewish Quarter, was
destroyed yet again, this time by the Jordanians. The Jews were
expelled and it remained in desolation until its reconstruction began in
1969. However, this desolation will not actually be fully
rectified until Jesus is officially anointed for the millennium. 1948 +
70 years is also in the near future
11.
1967 + 50 Years: Jerusalem, including the then-obliterated Jewish
Quarter, captured by the Jews in the Six-Day War of 1967 + 1 Jubilee (50 years), is in the near future
12.
1969 + 49 Years:
The day after the capture of the Jewish Quarter,
the then PM of Israel issued a decree that it be rebuilt as soon as
possible. This decree was made on June 8, 1967. However, this original
decree was not nearly as famous as the April 1, 1969 decree by the
Knesset. If you study the Book of Daniel's prophecy
in the Bible on the timing of the return of Jesus, this was divided
into two sections: 7 + 62 weeks from the time of the decree to rebuild
Jerusalem, not simply 69 weeks. Personally, I have never seen a really
good explanation as to why the 69 weeks was split
into 7 + 62 weeks (just speculation). Perhaps we will soon find out
why this was split? Could it have been a hint at the approximate timing
of His return, even though it was not a direct prophecy (or perhaps a
hidden prophecy revealed only now)? Obviously,
I don't know the answer to this. Regardless, 1967 + 49 and 1969 + 49
are both in the near future
13.
Jewish Year 5777:
Bible Numerology is a man-made "science" and
should be viewed with a grain of salt. In this "field", the number 7
is the number of God's perfection (which is why it is used so often in
Revelation), wherein the number "777" represents God’s perfect plan. It
is rather interesting that the Jewish Year
of 5777 starts in the fall of 2016 and lasts until the fall of 2017,
yet another thing pointing to the near future
14.
Revelation 20:1-7:
First off, I fully acknowledge that the numbering
system in the Bible is entirely man made. However, it is interesting
to note that the millennium is only described in detail in one place in
the Bible and that is in Revelation 20:1-7. It is even more interesting
to note that 20:1-7 looks similar to the
year 2017. Given that the Lord knows the beginning from the end, it is
not far-fetched to believe that this is yet another hint pointing to
the near future
Interesting note on the 120 / 70 Years (points 7 & 9):
The 120 years from
the resolution in 1897 outlining the desire for Israel to exist is
analogous to the 120 jubilees from the sin of Adam and Eve requiring
Jesus to be born in Israel to reconcile mankind from its sin. The 70
years from the resolution in 1947 giving birth to
Israel is analogous to the 70 jubilees from the time of the Exodus from
Egypt to the birth of the nation of Israel.
The Math Part (don't worry, I'll keep it simple)
At
first glance, someone could look at the above and ask - couldn't you
just simply be forcing in and/or "making up" time lapses that make each
event point to the
near future? The answer is a resounding NO!! To illustrate this is
not the case at all; I have reiterated the points 5 to 12 above in order
to elaborate on the significance of each time lapse as they relate to
the time periods specifically outlined in God's
Holy Word:
•
Events 5, 8 & 11 = 1517 (Ottoman), 1917 (British) & 1967 (Jewish):
These 3 events are directly related to the last 3 times that the land
of Israel / Jerusalem / Jewish Quarter actually changed ownership.
These are the ONLY times they have changed ownership, so I am not cherry
picking. Each of these three years directly
relate to the near future in increments of 50 years (10, 2 & 1,
respectfully). 50 years is equal to the time God decreed to be a
Jubilee wherein land was to actually change hands to the original owners
by the end of the 50th year (Leviticus 25:8,10).
The very near future could, in theory, be the start of the final land
exchange, wherein Israel / Jerusalem would soon go back to the "Ultimate
Original Owner" - Jesus. In essence, the beginning of the last
Jubilee.
Question: What are the chances that the last three changes in
ownership of Israel / Jerusalem / Jewish Quarter would all "randomly"
relate to the near future by meeting God's Jubilee change over
requirements of exact 50 year increments?
•
Events 6, 10 & 12 = 1534 (Muslim), 1948 (Jewish) & 1969 (Jewish):
These three events are directly related to the various timelines
outlined in the 70 week prophecy of Daniel 9. While this prophecy
relates to Christ’s First Coming 2000 years ago, the Jews do not
acknowledge the fulfillment. In other words, to the deceived
Jews, the prophecy remains in the future. So could this be used for
deception at some point by the future Anti-Christ? Interestingly, they
all tie to the near future. The 1534 event (non-Jewish) relates to the
near future after 69 weeks (69 x 7 or 483 years
from 1534), the 1948 event relates to the near future after 69 years
while the 1969 event relates to the near future after 7 "weeks" (7 x 7,
or 49 years).
Question: What are the chances that the three Daniel 9 events
related to Jerusalem / Jewish Quarter since the death of Jesus would all
"randomly" relate to the near future in logical time increments as
outlined in these Scriptures?
•
Events 7 & 9 = 1897 (Zion Congress) & 1947 (UN):
These two events
are directly related to the establishment of Israel as a country for
the Jewish people. The 1897 event relates to the conception of Israel
as a nation. Genesis 6:3 outlines the maximum length of a life to be
120 years (which is backed by actuarial tables
to be the maximum age of a life from conception). The 1947 event
relates to the birth of Israel as a nation. Psalm 90:10 outlines the
average length of a life to be 70 years (which is also backed by UN
statistics to be the worldwide average length of life
from birth - higher for developed nations, lower for third world). Question:
What are the chances of the only two resolutions to ever be made since
Jesus' death to establish Israel would "randomly" relate to the near
future in the exact two lifespan
amounts as outlined by God in Genesis 6:3 & Psalm 90:10? Again, I
am NOT cherry picking here – this is all-inclusive!
It
appears mathematically certain from the events outlined above that
nothing but the near future creates such incredible mathematical
anomalies. Indeed, even for
just two of the eight events outlined above to "randomly" point to the
near future would be remarkable. However, it is my opinion that simply
believing that all eight events pointing to the near future is merely
"random chance" would take immensely more faith
than simply believing it to be the way God planned history to unfold
before He even created Adam and Eve. And just think, this doesn't even
include the other six general indicators – Events 1, 2, 3, 4, 13 &
14!
Indeed,
the mathematical chances of all these events pointing to the near
future randomly are astronomical and will now be demonstrated as such (Side note:
I believe that I am being very conservative and that the odds are actually much higher than those illustrated):
•
The
chances of Israel being re-taken by the Jews is astronomical on its own
since no other nation has ever been reborn, even for short exile
times. While
I have limited the odds of this event occurring to only 1 in a 1000, I
am positive that the odds are actually much higher than this
•
Assuming
that Israel would be reborn (conditional probability), the chances of
the other seven events relating to Israel's formation randomly occurring
is not as unlikely, but still didn't HAVE to occur separately or at
all. While I have limited the odds of these events to both occurring
and to do so separately to only 1 in 100, I am positive that the odds
are actually much higher than this
•
The
three Jubilee occurrences are easy. The chances of the three events
relating to the near future "randomly" landing on the same 50th year are
1 out
of 50 (years) each
•
The
chances of the three Daniel 9 prophecy timelines relating to the near
future "randomly" landing perfectly are 1 out of 2000, which I have
reduced to
1 out of 500 to show I am not inflating the numbers unnecessarily (Side
note: 2000 comes from the 2000 year time lapse since Jesus)
•
The
chances of the two advents of Israel relating to 70 / 120 years
"randomly" landing perfectly on the near future would also be 1 out of
2000 (years)
each, which I again have reduced to 1 out of 500
The
above results in a mind-blowing probability = 1 out of
390,625,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of all of these events occurring and
for all of these events lining
up with the near future occurring "randomly" ( = 1000 x 100 x 50 x 50 x
50 x 500 x 500 x 500 x 500 x 500). This is equivalent to randomly
being dealt a natural Royal Flush (without draw) four times in a row
(for those who are unfamiliar with Poker, this is
10, Jack, Queen, King & Ace of the same suit)! This is also
equivalent to randomly picking heads or tails correctly 78 times in a
row!
Putting these odds into perspective:
To put these odds into perspective,
drawing a natural Royal Flush is the hardest hand to get in Poker. If
you were dealt 650,000 hands, you could expect to only receive a single
Royal Flush. If you played Poker for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week and
were dealt a hand every 10 seconds the entire
time, this would equate to one Royal Flush every 181 days. You would
be required to play at this pace for 320,000 years to expect to see two
Royal Flushes in a row just once (yes, that's over 50 times as long as
the time since Adam and Eve were created).
It goes up rapidly from there:
•
You
would be required to play at this same pace for over 200 billion years
to expect to see three Royal Flushes in a row just once. But here is
the challenge!
You would need to correctly guess the exact 30 second span these three
hands were dealt during that 200 billion year period. Incredibly, even
this would be a more likely feat than the eight events logically
pointing towards the near future occurring "randomly"
•
You
would be required to play at this same pace for over 136,000 trillion
years to expect to see four Royal Flushes in a row just once. Again,
you would
need to correctly guess the exact 40 second span these four hands were
dealt during that 136,000 trillion year period. Again, even this would
be more likely than Israel reforming and for the eight events to happen
separately and for them to logically point
towards near future occurring "randomly"
As
illustrated above, the probability of these events occurring with such
precision being "random" is infinitesimal. The only alternative is to
acknowledge that
God's hand is carefully shepherding the exact timing of these events!
In other words, it is my sincere belief that we are the generation that
will see the end-times of Revelation begin and that this will begin
soon. While many Christians have a gut feel
that this could be happening soon, this is usually just a hunch. As
such, I thought it would interesting to illustrate that there is a solid
mathematical reason that "logically" points to why this feeling is
justified, hence the above article.
Urgent note to the unsaved:
If someone handed you a gun and told you to
play a game of Russian Roulette, would you? Of course not. You
wouldn't want to take even a 1 out of 6 chance of ending your life,
which, compared to eternity, is like vapor. And yet you are currently
willing to take a much greater risk with your soul,
your spirit that lasts forever without end.
Where
are you planning to be when you die? There are only two alternatives.
Eternal torture in hell, separated from Jesus as you wished. OR with
Jesus in heaven,
a paradise beyond imagination. It's so simple - acknowledge you are a
sinner, that you can't possibly reconcile your sinful nature with God on
your own and that Jesus, and only Jesus, died for your sins as the
Perfect Sacrifice to reconcile you with Him and
that He has risen once again.
Now
please, don't expect fireworks. Being saved is not a feeling, it’s a
process. Don't expect thunder or lightning or even to feel different at
all right away.
Please don't think that you will have to "give up" anything to follow
Jesus, just focus on Him and nothing that happens later on or changes
that you will eventually want to make will seem like a sacrifice at
all. Indeed, no life is whole unless you are living
for Jesus - just give it time.
As
a matter of fact, you can even keep your prayer asking for this as a
secret from the person who sent you this analysis. After all, you
certainly wouldn't want
to give them the satisfaction that they've been right about Jesus after
all of these years. Just whatever you do, don't say, "sounds good, but
perhaps later". Do it NOW!! Jesus promises you that you will never
regret your decision to follow Him, but you
definitely will regret it if you don't.
The Escape Route
The
journey towards Christianity began my love of all things prophecy.
Indeed, it indirectly saved me by directing me towards the grace of
Jesus. However, my next
task was to sort through the various doctrine believed by so many
seemingly well-intentioned Christians that were in direct opposition to
each other, each claiming passionately to be right wherein only one can
be right. I read about various Rapture theologies
and in the end, it seemed overwhelmingly logical to me that Jesus would
take us off this decrepit planet before any of His judgments / wrath
would begin in earnest to rain down on earth. This is often referred to
as a “Pre-Tribulation Rapture”.
I
believe strongly that Jesus directly promised those who love Him that
He would do just that. After all, what Good Shepherd would purposely
put the sheep He so
loves and tends in the way of harm that He Himself is creating /
allowing?
Important:
Please note that this is different from man-created problems
and trials! We were never promised an easy life in the Bible by
accepting Christ! Indeed, most will attest that our lives after
accepting Christ is no easier, and sometime even harder! However, this
comes with a peace that transcends logic. I won’t even
try to describe it – you will know what I am talking about when it is
time.
After
a while, and the more I thought about it, the more the Pre-Tribulation
Rapture excited me. While being with the Lord forever is plenty to be
excited about
on its own, not having to experience a possibly painful death to do it
(yes, I'm a bit cowardly) seemed too good to be true. But with God, He
IS the only "good" AND He IS the only Truth!!
The
next logical question was; when would the Rapture occur? On this, the
Bible is exceedingly clear - no man (nor woman) will know the day or the
hour. However,
based on my rigorous training in math and statistics, I thought surely
there must be clues (or at least hints) in the Bible as to how much
longer, in general, we would have to wait until the Rapture. The above
was meant to show you that we may almost be at
the Tribulation. Therefore, we must be close to be the Rapture. Trust
me, the end-times will be so absolutely horrific, you will not want to
be here. Re-read the above as necessary and make the decision for
Christ!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
I must be very clear that in no way am I date-setting in
this article. I have no clue when the Rapture will be, other than
surely it will be within the next few years, perhaps even today. This
is similar to what the vast majority of prophecy experts already feel.
Now, even Non-Believers are seeing that a huge
change for the worse is coming. In summary, the purpose of this
article is merely to outline various Bible based mathematical reasons
why we will most likely be Raptured in the not too distant future and
that the Tribulation will commence shortly thereafter.
May
God Bless You All!! For those who believe before it is too late, I
will see you in the air…and soon! For those who waited too long, you
will need to pray to
Jesus for strength and guidance. But even more importantly: DO NOT
take the mark of the Beast under any circumstances, even if your earthly
life depends on it. I am not sure the precise form this mark will be
in, but you will know. This mark will be instituted
by the False Prophet on behalf of the Anti-Christ. These two end-time
evil-doers will reveal themselves at the designated time. Take the mark
and you will suffer in Hell for all eternity – do NOT let anyone
convince you otherwise, they are WRONG!!

Brothers
and sisters, are you ready to meet the Lord in the sky? Repent and
believe that grace is by faith alone and can ONLY be attained through
Jesus Christ.
Get ready and leave the temptations of this world behind and ready
yourself as a Bride.
Surely, time is almost up.
