"Ezekiel's 430 years iniquity of Israel and Judah"


 
John and Doves,

Ezekiel's 430 years iniquity of Israel and Judah.

Solomon died in the summer of 928 BC. His kingdom was split into two. They were Israel the northern kingdom and Judah the southern kingdom. Through the prophet Ezekiel, God has prophesied there would be 430 years of Israel (the northern kingdom) and Judah (the southern kingdom) sinning against Him. There were no Israel and Judah under King David and Solomon because the kingdom was united as one. Israel and Judah only came to their existence after Solomon's death. The 430 years iniquity of Israel and Judah began in the year Solomon died, that is, 928 BC. To find out the exact day the iniquity began, we have 1 Kings 12.

1 Kings 12:25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel. 26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: 27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. 28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. 30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. 31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. 32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. 33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

"And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar."

Instead of offering a feast on Yom Kippur, Jeroboam changed the offering to the 15th of Cheshvan which is the eighth month in their calendar. Because of Israelis' disobedience to God for not observing Yom Kippur which is the holiest day in their calendar, the iniquity of Israel and Judah began on Yom Kippur in 928 BC. 

According to torahcalendar.com, Yom Kippur 928 BC fell on Oct 17 which is Julian day 1382761. The northern kingdom Israel was destroyed by Assyrian in 722 BC, while Judah was destroyed on Tisha B'Av in 586 BC which corresponds to July 18 Julian day 1507585. 

1507585 minus 1382761 = 124824 days.

There have been 124824 days of Israel and Judah sinning against God unto their destruction. 

Just like Daniel 70 weeks prophecy, 430 years are 430 biblical years. Each biblical year consists of 360 days.

430 x 360 days = 154800 days. 

154800 days minus 124824 days = 29976 days. 

There is a remaining 29976 days of Israel and Judah sinning against God. Miraculously Israel came back as a sovereign nation on May 14 1948. They have their own kings again. But since they still reject Jesus as their Messiah, their iniquity clock began to move again on May 14 1948, Adding 29976 days to May 14 1948, we come to June 9 2030 as the end of their 430 years iniquity. June 9 2030 happens to be Pentecost / Shavuot. Jesus shall return in 2030 to put an end to their iniquity. 

To calculate the day for rapture and tribulation to begin, I subtract 2520 days from June 9 2030, and come to July 16 Tamuz 27 2023 as the day for rapture and tribulation to begin.

Rapture, July 16 Tamuz 27 2023 --------- 2520 days --------- Pentecost, June 9 2030, end of tribulation, end of 430 years iniquity of Israel and Judah
