Dear John and 5-Dovers -

Of the dates going forward, I think the 13th of November (this Monday) is the most likely rapture date, but any date between now and the 22nd will do.

Daniel's final week begins on the 22nd.  This is the day of the "confirmation of the covenant."  This is NOT some sort of "peace treaty."  It is Day #1 of the week and also the first day of the 1,260-day ministry of the Two Witnesses.  It's reasonable to think these two men act on behalf of God to confirm His covenant, very possibly the one made at Mount Sinai.  Moses may be present as some have suggested, or perhaps God raises up someone "in the spirit and power" of Moses.

45 days later is January 6th, "coincidentally" the day of the conjunction between Mars and Jupiter.  "This means war."  The Jews are driven from Jerusalem for 1,260 days (see Revelation 12:6,14).  Those folks who think there's a "peace treaty" between A/C and the Jews have to explain this one.   This is most likely the Magog events of Ezekiel 38-39.  This is the day when "the daily" is taken away and the Abomination of Desolation is set up.  We see that from this point to the 1,335th day is 1,290 days (Daniel 12:11).  Two-thirds of the people in the land will die (Zech. 13:8) and half of the people in Jerusalem will go into captivity (Zech. 14:2).

Day #1200 is March 4, 2021.  A major comet will appear that day according to Stellarium.  This matches with Revelation 9:1.

Day #1260 is May 4, 2021.  This is the day the Two Witnesses are killed.  They will lie in the street for "three and a half days."

Day #1264 - the Two Witnesses are resurrected. (Rev. 11:13)  There is a great earthquake, a tenth of Jerusalem falls, and 7,000 men are killed.  This may also be the day when Jesus returns to the Mount of Olives in Zechariah 12:4.

45 days later would be the 1,260th day of their exile or diaspora and that's on June 19th.

In Daniel 12:7 the phrase "power of the holy people shall be completely shattered" seems to be a rather poor rendering.  Septuagint simply says "when the dispersion is ended."  That will be after 3 1/2 "times."

Jesus puts an end to A/C's false "sacrifice and offering" religious system and flushes the bad guys out of the city.  They go north to Megiddo, and Armageddon - the final conflict - happens.  This event ends on July 18, 2021 which is the 9th of Av.

The 1335th day from November 22, 2017 is July 18, 2021 - matches Daniel 12:12 - some irony and "poetic justice" in God taking the day of Jewish misery, the 9th of Av, and making it into the day they finally and ultimately destroy their enemies.  "Blessed" indeed!

Following that is about 3 1/2 years of rebuilding.  The fall feasts are fulfilled in 2024 and the last day of Daniel's final week is Day #2550 which happens to be November 15, 2024 which is 14 Cheshvan and Parashat Vayera. 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  I think the numbers work.  The opinions are just that.

Best,

Steve
