"RAPTURE CONFIRMATION CYCLES"


 
Nisan 1, 5782 in the spring of 2022 marked the completion of seven Sabbatical weeks since the 1967 restoration of Jerusalem to the Jews.  This is significant because Daniel's Weeks Prophecy says Messiah will appear "seven weeks" after Jerusalem is restored:

"From the going forth of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks (Dan. 9:25).

The only modern restoration of Jerusalem occurred in June 1967 when the Jews took possession of the Holy City for the first time in nearly 2,000 years. Counting seven weeks from the start of the first Sabbatical week following Jerusalem's 1967 restoration (Nisan 1973), we arrive at Nisan 2022.

 

3. JERUSALEM'S WALL

Nisan 1 this year marked the completion of "seven" and "sixty-two" Sabbatical weeks since Jerusalem's wall was rebuilt by Islamic ruler Suleiman. This is significant because Daniel's Weeks Prophecy mentions specifically the wall surrounding Jerusalem being rebuilt

"From the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall" (Dan. 9:25).

Suleiman ordered the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall in 1536-37 AD. Counting "seven" and "sixty-two" weeks from the start of the first Sabbatical week following the order to rebuild (Nisan 1539 AD), we arrive at Nisan 2022.There is no 2520 days coming and no antichrist per Halley’s Bible commentary but only a 360 day year of the Wrath of God to match the time of Noah.

 

4. SOLAR ECLIPSE ANNIVERSARY

Nisan 1 this year marked seven years to the day since a total solar eclipse darkened the northernmost tip of the globe, the point where the longitudinal lines intersecting every nation and landmass converge

Besides occurring on the biblical New Year, the Nisan eclipse coincided with the spring equinox. For perspective, a total solar eclipse occurs on the spring equinox only one other time during the roughly 750-year period spanning 1662 AD-2406 AD. Such an eclipse at the top of the globe, however, is said to happen only once every 100,000 years, making it unprecedented.

According to the Talmud, solar eclipses are a sign for the Gentile world. That the unprecedented Nisan eclipse occurred seven years ago is significant because God is known for giving a seven-year warning prior to bringing judgment (Gen. 7; 41; Josh.

 

7. BETHLEHEM STAR

June 30,2022 marks seven years since a once-in-two-millennia appearance of the "Bethlehem-Star," the Jupiter-Venus conjunction that heralded Jesus' first coming. Could this dazzling and much publicized heavenly alignment have been a seven-year warning pointing to the return of Jesus?

 

8. BLOOD MOONS

2022 marked seven years since consecutive blood-moon eclipses occurred on the spring and fall harvest festivals, Passover and Tabernacles. Significantly, the Tabernacles eclipse was a "super blood moon," a phenomenon in which the Moon's proximity to Earth causes it to appear particularly large.

According to the Talmud, blood moons are a bad omen for Israel. Could the extra-large blood moon of 2015, visible above Jerusalem, have been the ultimate seven-year warning?

 

9. LEAFING OF THE FIG-TREE

March 10 this year marks 73 years since the newly planted 'fig tree,' Israel, substantially enlarged its borders by prevailing in the first Arab-Israeli War. That same spring, the fledgling Jewish nation established its first government and was admitted to the UN 0rganization.

Israel's growth spurt in spring 1949 is noteworthy because Jesus says the generation who sees the still tender fig branch "put forth leaves" will see all the end-times events come to pass (Matt. 24:32, 34).

 

10. THE SETTING UP OF AN ABOMINATION

2022 marks 1,335 years since the Dome of the Rock, an Islamic shrine dedicated to Allah, was built on the Temple Mount in 687-88 AD. This is significant because in Daniel's final vision of the end times, the setting up of an abomination that causes desolation is an important time-marker:

 

"From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days" (Dan. 12:11, 12).

In Daniel's prophecies, a day typically represents a year (9:24-27). Counting 1,290 prophetic years from when the daily Temple sacrifice was taken away by Nebuchadnezzar in 586-85 BC, we arrive at 687-88 AD, the year the Dome of the Rock was set up. Counting forward 1,335 years from when the Dome of the Rock was set up is 2022,

 

The prophets see only 6%( 20 Million) of Americans raptured. Most of 327 million will perish in the year 5783 =5+7+8+3=23 in gematria meaning Death after the 40 days of volcanic fire, megaquakes, tsunamis, nuclear holocaust, foreign invasion, starvation.

 

Only 20% of Americans believe the Bible is the Word of God, only 17 million attend church, and 70% of seminary graduates do not even believe Jesus is the Son of God. Study the map and prophesies of destruction of America attached for  review.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION.

• The end of "seven weeks" from the modern restoration of Jerusalem.

• The start of the 50th year on Yom Kippur 2022 from the modern restoration of Jerusalem.

• The end of "seven" and "sixty-two" weeks from the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall by Suleiman.

• The seven-year anniversary of an unprecedented solar eclipse at the top of the globe.

• The start of the eleventh Sabbatical week since Israel became a nation in 1948.

• The start of the 354th Sabbatical week since Daniel's Weeks Prophecy began to be fulfilled in 457 BC.

Anniversaries not precisely linked to Nisan 1, but which occur within days or months of this date, include:

• The seven-year anniversary of the Bethlehem Star conjunction.

• The seven-year anniversary of consecutive blood moons on God's harvest festivals.

• The 73rd anniversary of the 'leafing of the fig tree' in spring 1949.

• The 1,335th anniversary of the setting up of an abomination on the Temple Mount.

It defies coincidence that Daniel's weeks may be counted separately or together and from different orders to rebuild Jerusalem to point to the same year: 2022. This remarkable concurrence is a result of the two orders to rebuild the Holy City (Suleiman and contemporary) being separated by a span of sixty-two weeks.

NOTES FOR DIGGING FURTHER:

1. The accuracy of our reckoning of Daniel's weeks and potential Jubilee depends on the correctness of the Sabbatical cycle.

2. Current Sabbatical year , according to the accepted Jewish reckoning is 2022 :

12. Jubilee-Rapture correlations—5783  on Yom Kippur per Leviticus  began a 50th Jubilee  year:

• Paul uses jubilee terminology such as "liberty" and "redemption" when describing the resurrection-rapture of the Church (Rom. 8:19-23).

• The Jubilee is when servants are liberated and land is returned to its original owner (Lev. 25). Correspondingly, the Rapture is when Christians are liberated and the 'title deed' to Planet Earth, symbolized by the sealed scroll in Revelation, goes back to God (Rev. 5).

• The Jubilee year began on Yom Kippur when spiritual blindness began to be lifted (Luke 4:18)off the Jews. Israel's blindness concerning Messiah-Jesus will be lifted after the full number of Gentiles comes in at the Rapture (Rom. 11:25).

• In Isaiah, the Jubilee is linked to the onset of the Day of the Lord (Isa. 63:1-6). The Day of the Lord commences around the time of the Rapture (1 Thess. 4:13-18; 5:1-5).

• Since the Jubilee year is also the first year of a new seven-year cycle, it is a fitting time for the Rapture and start of a new period or era---Day of the Lord.

14. Solar and lunar eclipses are signs of the impending Day of the Lord: "The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD" (Joel 2:31).

 

Malachi Martin prophesied every pope in history and the final 112th Pope has colon cancer, is in a wheelchair, and will resign or die soon. He teaches against the born again experience and is a false prophet lunatic.
