TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL DATES - New Observations


Have you ever noticed that in the OT there are many
dates given for specific events such as when Passover first
occurred for the time of Exodus - i.e. in the first month, fourteenth
day (Exodus Ch. 12); the Flood in the second month, seventeenth
day (Genesis 7:11); the dedication of Soloman's Temple in the seventh
month, fifteenth day (Feast of Tabernacles 1 Kings 8:2); Haggai's
prophecy of the ninth month, twenty fourth day (Haggai 2:18); the exact
dates of the Babylon Captivity were given for each of the
three deportations - whereas in the NT not one mention of
any specific date?  Passover is just Passover in the NT.  Why
is that?  Why do we have a CIVIL and BIBLICAL calendar based
upon the cycles of the moon with the Jewish calendar, and
additional days added to Gregorian calendar for leap years? I
question if there is another calendar that we have forgotten
or haven't discovered?

I don't propose to have the absolute answers to these questions,
however, when assembling all the pieces for the end-time
prophecy scenario, I believe it is entirely possible that the
answer may well be found with an indepth examination of
the aforementioned calendars (civil &  biblical)  but with a
new perspective - one that doesn't fit in with the traditional
method(s) of calendar calculations and would develop a
standard eternal calendar that has been established by God -
i.e. a TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL CALENDAR (TBC).

What I'm getting at is this.........obviously there has to be
calendar adjustments on the Jewish calendar in order for
the seasons to function in their proper time - fall in the fall;
summer in the summer, etc.  Likewise, the Gregorian calendar
has to be adjusted to meet a 365.25/day year.   All this to say
that all the calendar adjustments are needed for the two afore
mentioned calendars in order to synchronize with the seasons.

But my contention is that for the TRADITIONAL  BIBLICAL
CALENDAR (TBC) the needed adjustments are not necessary
since they are to be a remembrance that occurred in the pre
christian  era.   The calendar adjustments are recognized on
the civil calendar in accordance with the required date adjustments
found in the book of Leviticus and doesn't pertain
to the TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL CALENDAR in the least - IMO.
The celebrated feasts and religious holidays that are celebrated
each year both on the Jewish and Gregorian calendar are strictly
done on the adjusted calendars with our current system of calendar
adjustments, but where does the TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL CALENDAR
(TBC) belong in all of this, and what exactly is the TBC?

Simply go back to the 360/day calendar with its significance
and eternal purpose.   Recall the number of pronounced
years for Israel - 40 yrs. wilderness + numerous other
40 yrs. periods; the 430 years; 490; 70; 480; to name a few.
All of these are calculated on the 360 day year.   

Exodus 19:1 states that the children of Israel arrived at Mt.
Sinai on the "same day" in the "3rd month".   Since the Exodus
occurred on March 14/15 then the 3rd month (March being
the 1st month on the Biblical calendar) would bring their
arrival to May.  All this happened exactly after 430 years
of Egyptian Captivity as prophesied.  Then, "ON THE SAME
DAY, would indicate that they arrived the SAME DAY of the
month that they left which would be the 14/15th day.   So,
May 14/15 was the day they arrived at Mt. Sinai.   This date
just happens to be the same date that Israel became a
recognized nation in 1948.  After their arrival at Mt. Sinai,
they waited until the 3rd day when God came down on the
mountain - possibly the "First Trump of God".   That date was
May 17/18 on the 360/day calendar.   All these dates are the
initial and predominant dates for God's timeline and are to be
useful (IMO) for end-time prophecy timeline calculations and
based on the 360/day calendar cycle.  This is God's special
Eternal and TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL CALENDAR in which
dates are to be memorialized for eternity only without calendar
adjustments.  They are established and set for future generations
to commemorate and to have as our guideline when considering
prophetic timelines.

POSSIBLE RAPTURE DATE -

In my last post on 5 Doves I proposed a possible Rapture date
for April 17, 2016 which would correspond to October 11/12, 2045
on 360/day calendar.   

Now, however, there is yet another significant date that would
have even greater significance (IMO) than the above.

Haggai 2:18-19 says......From this day on, from this twenty-fourth
day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when
the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid.  Give careful thought:
Is there yet any seed left in the barn?  Until now, the vine and the fig
tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have
not borne fruit.  "FROM THIS DAY ON I WILL BLESS YOU."

That date of November 24 could very well be the date for the
Rapture based upon the promise that "ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE
SAVED" - a promise found in the book of Romans.    We well
know that this will not occur until we reach the end for the
"TIMES OF THE GENTILES".  It makes sense to me that when
the Rapture occurs that will conclude the Times of the Gentiles
and will introduce the period of time when God will once again
attend His attention on Israel in fulfillment of the remaining
490 years (7 yrs.) prophesied in the book of Daniel known as
the "tribulation period".   This process of ending the Times of
the Gentiles will introduce the evangelization that will bring
forth the promise that "all Israel shall be saved" and what
greater blessing is there than their salvation and all
happening on the very day God promises His special blessing
for Israel - November 24.

November 24, 2015 would correspond to April 17, 2045 on the
360/day calendar which is the second month, 17 day - same as
the date given for the start of the flood in the book of Genesis.

It stands to reason that when the church is gone it will be "as in
the days of Noah" - and that exactly on the same day as when
the flood began, when the door to the ark was closed and
sealed.  This happening at the end of the times of the gentiles
fits well with an end-time prophecy timeline IMO.

Moving forward then 30 days would bring us to December
24/25, 2015 which would correspond to May 17, 2045 on the
360/day TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL CALENDAR which was the
date when God came down on Mt. Sinai - possibly the 1st
Trump of God.    So, we have Christmas day and the time
God visited the children of Israel on top of Mt. Sinai.  This
would be a typical maneuver by Satan - to imitate God by
having his appearing to Israel with a signed covenant on
the very same day God visited His children Israel and gave
His commandments.   These dates were calculated in God's
Calendar Study for the Exodus happening on March 14/15,
2520 on the 360/day calendar - December 24/25, 2483.8
on the 365.25/day calendar.  See July 20, 2014 - 5 Doves
letter.

By the way, December 24/25 was the TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL
CALENDAR date for the Exodus - only on the 365.25/day year
which corresponded with March 14/15 on the 360/day year.

In my calculations I also determined that November 24 could
very well be the date for the immaculate conception which
brings the birth of Christ to September 5-10.  Many assertions
have been made that the "star of Bethlehem" appeared on or
around September 10/11.

If nothing else, these are interesting observations that I share
for your discernment.

In any event, we know Jesus is at the door and will be here
soon to Rapture us to His heavenly kingdom for eternity.
What a joy to contemplate!

Blessings,
