Hi John and Doves,

When I say I have a new discovery regarding the year Jesus returning to earth, here's my explanation.


Criteria one. Based on Marriage Supper of the Lamb, Jesus shall return to earth on Unleavened Bread, a day after Passover. There are many
 noble titles of Jesus Christ. He is King of kings, Lord of Lords. He is Emmanuel, Wonderful, Counseller, Alpha and Omega. When he hosts the Marriage Supper in heaven, why would he use the Lamb title instead of the Lord title? He could have called it Marriage
 Supper of the Lord. I think the reason is simple. The lamb is remembered during the day of Passover. He wants us to know that Marriage Supper of the Lamb shall be held on Passover where the lamb is remembered. And since he returns to earth right after the
 supper, his return to earth shall be on Unleavened Bread Nisan 15.




Second criteria. Daniel's seven week prophecy hasn't been fulfilled yet. The command to build the streets and walls of Jerusalem was given
 forth on Nisan 1 March 15 445 BC. When we add 7 weeks or 17640 days to March 15 445 BC, we come to July 1 397 BC. There is no historical record that Jerusalem finished rebuilding on this day. Plus there was no troublous time during those days. Even if 7 weeks
 prophecy is not given, it doesn't affect the 69 weeks ended on Palm Sunday 32 AD. We don't need 7 weeks to tell us 69 weeks ended on Palm Sunday 32 AD. What is God's purpose of inserting 7 weeks into 70 weeks prophecy? The reason is simple. He wants us to
 know that Jesus shall fulfill this 7 weeks prophecy. A week is also understood as 7 days. Seven weeks is seven “seven” days or simply 49 days. On the day Jesus returns to Jerusalem, a commandment will be given forth in that day, to build the streets and the
 walls of Jerusalem, even in troublous time. At the end of 49 days, the rebuilding and the restoration of Jerusalem is complete. Also, there are two feasts being separated by 49 days. They are Unleavened Bread and Shavuot/Pentecost. Since Jesus returns after
 Passover, on Unleavened Bread, 49 days arrives at Shavuot Pentecost. There will be an offering on this day. Seven weeks prophecy also give us a clue that Jesus "returns on Unleavened Bread". And 49 days later, restoration and rebuilding of Jerusalem is complete
 on the evening of Shavuot Pentecost, because there are no other feasts that are separated by 49 days, except Unleavened Bread and Shavuot.




Criteria 3. The correct counting of Shavuot Pentecost. Sadducees uses the correct counting, not Pharisees. They pick Saturday as the Sabbath,
 not Nisan 15, and count the morrow after Sabbath as first fruit. Seven Sabbaths which are seven Saturday is the 49th days from first fruit. The morrow after the seventh Saturday becomes Shavuot and Pentecost. This is why Shavuot Pentecost always falls on Sunday.




With these three criteria, let's look at the year 2028.




Unleavened Bread Nisan 15 falls on April 11. Jesus returns on this day. Shavuot Pentecost falls on June 4 Sunday. Shavuot begins on sunset
 June 3. Between April 11 and sunset June 3, there are 53 days, not the 49 days we find in the seven weeks prophecy. God doesn't say it takes Jesus 53 days to build the street and walls of Jerusalem. God only says it takes 49 days to complete building the streets
 and walls of Jerusalem. So 2028 doesn't fit the criteria for Jesus to return in that year. Let's look at 2029.




Unleavened Bread falls on March 31. Jesus returns on March 31. A commandment is given forth on March 31 to build the streets and walls of
 Jerusalem. Shavuot Pentecost falls on May 20 Sunday. But according to Jewish calendar, Shavuot Pentecost begins on sunset May 19. Between March 31 and May 19, there are 49 days, the 49 days in the seven weeks prophecy. Jesus fulfills the seven weeks prophecy.
 An offering shall be held on evening May 19, Jesus is the High Priest, with remnant of Israel and gentiles believers as the two loaves of bread. God forgives the iniquity of Israel and Judah on this day. This wraps up the 7 years tribulation.




My conclusion. When we pick a year for Jesus returning to Jerusalem, there has to be a 49 days separating Nisan 15 unleavened bread and Shavuot
 in order to fulfill the seven weeks prophecy. 2028, 2027, 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023 all fail. Only 2029, 2032 pass. But let's stay focus on 2029 first.
