water flowed from the springs and sky...for the Great

Josh Peck said, that the Essenes saw a
historical time line of 7,000 years that mirrors a 7 day
week. They had prophesies that were to take place
over time, involving "what they called ages." Two thousand
year periods. The last age is the 1,000 year
millennial reign. "At the end of these ages, you
have these cycles, these prophetic events that happen,
there's always an apostasy that hits. There's always
a lot of prophetic things that happen in the final 50
years of an age called a jubilee. There's things
that lead up to that even and culminate in the way that we
think of birth pangs. You can actually see that type
of thing at the end of each of these ages. So the
two main ages...is the Age of Torah and our age, which the
Essenes called the Age of Grace. The Age of Torah
lasted the 2000 years between the call of Abraham and 75
A.D. and the Age of Grace, according to their calendar is
supposed to be from that time 75 A.D. till 2075
A.D.. Which means in 2025, we'll be
entering the last jubilee of our current age if the
Essene calendar is correct. And again,
they've had amazingly accurate prophecy."
The apostasy of the Age of Torah "actually
started years earlier, probably a couple of hundred years
earlier. What's really interesting about that is
when you think about our time,
when did our explosion of technology
start? I mean it's a time unlike any other time in
human history....if you take a look back at all of human
history. Our time is really weird. I mean, the
stuff that we're making and building, we've never done
that before. Well, that happened around a
couple hundred years ago. You know, that really exploded
around that time. Why didn't it happen before?
I think it's because of this apostasy. I think it's
part of the apostasy, so that can kind of help us
understand the times that we're living in and how we're
supposed to behave as Christians in the Age of Grace."
"We know for us Christians, while
2025 is, according to the Essenes, the beginning of the
final jubilee of our age. And while we
know there's a lot of prophecy to be fulfilled it's not
all bad. There's a lot of good prophecy too."
"When you compare the end of the Age of Torah
to our age, they we're looking forward to the first coming
of Christ. We're looking forward to the second
coming. His first coming was relatively early in
that final jubilee. It was according to the Essenes,
Jesus died in 32 A.D. so He would have came on the scene
around 29, so that's only four years after the start of
the their final jubilee. It's possible, because
there is a lot of unanswered questions on how the whole
prophetic timeline works, it's possible Jesus could come
early in our timeline."
25 A.D. to 75 A.D. would be the last 50 years
of the Age of Torah - so 2025 A.D. to 2075 A.D. would be
the last 50 years of the Age of Grace.
Technically the church started in the Age of
Torah probably around 32 A.D. "It didn't wait until
75 A.D. to start" which would have been the Age of
Grace. So we could see something like that. We
don't know how long it's going to take for Jesus to put
things in place for the Millennial reign....You could have
the Tribulation early in that 50 year period." Of
2025 A.D. to 2075 A.D.
I'm wondering, if the dates are a bit
off. If the last 50 years of the Age of Torah began
when Jesus was crucified...some think that was 28 A.D.,
some say 32 A.D. If it was 32 A.D., then Jesus began
his ministry in 28 A.D. So then the last 50 years of
the Age of Grace could start in 2028 A.D. for either death
in 28 A.D or start of the ministry in 28 A.D.
What if there isn't a final 50 years?
And Jesus returns, Second Coming, in 2028? And as
Josh said, we don't know how much time will be needed to
set up the Millennial reign. We learn in The
Revelation about 'the days being shortened'. Is this
referring to the length of the Age of Grace - the last 50
years? "And unless those days were shortened, no
flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days
will be shortened." Matthew 24:22 Jesus says
this when He's talking about the "abomination of
desolation" - when Jerusalem is surrounded by armies -
"For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as
has not been from the beginning of the world until now,
no, and never will be." Matthew 24:21
Some people think we can't possibly make it
another 50 years, the way things are going.
We just don't know. And I am
speculating about 'those days will be shortened'. If
the Essenes' timeline is correct, I hope the days are
shortened and that last set of years is dropped off the
timeline. Or the interpretation of their timeline is
incorrect. Seems there are many studies on the
Jubilees.
And it does depend on which calendar one
uses. So it's still a good possibility for a Rapture
date/start of the Tribulation even at this late date in
November.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
