John and Doves,

To find out the exact day Jesus returns to Jerusalem in 2030, we have Marriage Supper of the Lamb and Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy to help us. I start with Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Marriage Supper of the Lamb is a Passover meal. It is because the Lamb is the host of this supper. The Lamb is remembered and only appears in Passover. And this is the purpose of why Jesus uses the Lamb title as the host of this supper. He could have used King of kings, Lord of lords, Emmanuel, Wonderful, Counseller, many noble titles he is known to us for hosting the supper. But instead, he chooses to use the Lamb, because he wants us to know that Marriage Supper of the Lamb shall be held in a future Passover Nisan 14.

Take Supper with Santa Clause for example. When we are invited to a supper with Santa Clause, we know that this supper shall be held in Dec 25 because Santa Clause only appears in Christmas. Same logic for Marriage Supper of the Lamb. We know this dinner shall be held on Passover Nisan 14 because Passover is where the Lamb is remembered and appears.

Now, the big question is this, shall Marriage Supper of the Lamb be held on earth, or in heaven? I am leaning toward in heaven because during the last supper, Jesus did not finish the supper. Instead, he has promised his disciples he shall finish the Passover seder and drink a new wine with them in his Father's kingdom. His Father's kingdom is the Heavenly Kingdom. 

From Revelation 19:11-14, immediately after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, Jesus returns to earth with saints. It places Jesus returning to earth either on Nisan 15 or Nisan 16. I am leaning toward Nisan 16 First Fruit because of Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy which speaks of the 49 days separating First Fruit and Pentecost.

Jesus returns to Jerusalem in First Fruit. A commandment is given forth in this day, to build the streets an walls of Jerusalem. 7 weeks / 49 days later, in the evening of Pentecost, restoration of Jerusalem is complete. This is how Jesus fulfills Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy.

Take July 16 Tamuz 27 2023 to Pentecost June 9 2030 for illustration. First Fruit is April 21 Nisan 18 2030. Jesus returns to Jerusalem on April 21 2030. 49 days later, on sunset June 8 Sivan 7 which is the evening of Pentecost, restoration of Jerusalem is complete. There will be a feast and offering held on this evening. Jesus is the High Priest, with remnants of Israel and Gentiles believers as the two loaves of bread. Jesus offers them to his Father in heaven. My take is God the Father shall descend from heaven to partake this offering. Hallelujah!!!

We need to ask ourself this question? Why would Jesus call the supper "Marriage Supper of the Lamb"? He could have called it "Marriage Supper of the Lord". When he calls it "Marriage Supper with the Lord", I have no clue when will this supper be held, because Jesus is our Lord, everyday, every week and every year. But when Jesus chooses to call it " Marriage Supper of the Lamb", Aha, I know the supper shall be held in Nisan 14 Passover because Nisan 14 is where the Lamb is remembered. Nisan 14 is the only day where Jesus appears as the Lamb. Knowing the logic and reason behind Jesus calling the supper " Marriage Supper of the Lamb", we should know clearly that this supper shall be held on a future Passover Nisan 14.

A note here. Marriage Supper of the Lamb is a one-day event. Some Christians believe it spans over the entire 7 years tribulation which is not true.

From my previous post, I have stated that Marriage Supper of the Lamb is a Passover meal. It shall be held on a future Passover, with Jesus returning to earth on First Fruit. Can we find from bible to support my claim, that is, Jesus returns to Jerusalem on First Fruit?

We do. It's hidden in Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy.

Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

This prophecy is separated into two parts. The first part is seven weeks.

Fist part:  "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem shall be seven weeks, the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."

Second part is 7 weeks plus 62 weeks: " unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,"

Let's focus on first part, the seven weeks prophecy. The decree to build the streets and walls of Jerusalem was given out by Artaxerxes in Nisan 444 BC. We don't know the exact date. Nehemiah was a cup bearer. It was a tradition in their new year Nisan during the first day the cup bearer brought the wine to Persia King. Nisan 1 444 BC fell on April 4 Julian Day 1559345. 7 weeks are 7 x 7 which equals to 49 years. These 49 years are all in biblical years. 

49 biblical years x 360 days = 17640 days.

When we add 17640 days to Nisan 1 April 3 444 BC, we come to July 20 Av 11 396 BC. This is the end of 7 weeks prophecy. 

Restoration of Jerusalem was supposed to be completed on this day. But there was no biblical and historical evidence to support Jerusalem was restored in this day, even in troublous times (which means the Jews were in trouble while the restoration of Jerusalem was taken place during this period). Also, we don't need this 7 weeks prophecy to figure out Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday in 33 AD. Angel Gabriel could have said "unto Messiah there will be 69 weeks. At the end of 69 weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself". If angel Gabriel did say that, all we need to do is to add 69 weeks / 173880 days to Nisan 1 444 BC, and come to Palm Sunday 33 AD as the end of the 69 weeks. We don't need the 69 weeks divided into two parts 7 weeks and 62 weeks to figure out this calculation. Question is, why did God insert the 7 weeks prophecy which involves restoration of Jerusalem into 70 weeks prophecy?

The answer is simple. The 7 weeks prophecy has dual fulfillment purposes. The first purpose is to help us to calculate Jesus' first coming to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday 33 AD by combining the 7 and 62 weeks. The second purpose is to tell us Jesus shall return to Jerusalem to fulfill the 7 weeks prophecy. 7 weeks is also understood as seven 7' days' or simply 49 days. In Leviticus 23, God has ordained the Feast of Weeks. It begins on First Fruit, and 49 days / seven weeks later, it arrives on Pentecost. Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy speaks of these Feast of Weeks, which is 49 days separating First Fruit and Pentecost, because out of the seven feasts of the Lord, there are only two feasts which are separated by 49 days. They are First Fruit and Pentecost.  By inserting the 7 weeks prophecy, God wants us to know that Jesus shall return to Jerusalem on a future First Fruit. A commandment shall be given forth by Jesus on First Fruit, to build the streets and walls of Jerusalem, even in troublous time. At the end of 7 weeks/49 days, on the evening of Pentecost, restoration of Jerusalem is complete. This is the whole purpose of God inserting the 7 weeks prophecy into 70 weeks prophecy. 

A note here. God is omnipotent. He knew the Jews would have missed Jesus' first coming to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday 33 AD by overlooking and not paying attention to the 69 weeks prophecy. He has inserted the 7 weeks prophecy so that the Jews shall not miss Jesus' second coming by overlooking this 7-week prophecy.  This time is on a future First Fruit.

My summary. The Jews did not pay attention to the 69 weeks prophecy. They have missed Jesus' first coming in 33 AD. God has not abandoned them. God has the 7 weeks prophecy reserved for the Jews so that they shall not miss Jesus' second coming.

Isn't our God amazing? He has hidden two biggest mysteries in Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy. The first one is Jesus' first coming. If the Jews paid attention to the 69 weeks prophecy, they would have identified Jesus as their Messiah when Jesus rode the donkey to Jerusalem  on Palm Sunday 33 AD because that day was the end of 69 weeks. But they missed it. 

Has God abandoned them? The answer is no. God inserts the 7 weeks prophecy into the 70 weeks, so that they know their Messiah shall return to Jerusalem in First Fruit. Concerning which year their Messiah shall return, once the tribulation begins, they shall know it will be in the 7th year on the First Fruit, Jesus shall return to Jerusalem. A commandment is given forth on this day, to build the streets and walls of Jerusalem even in troublous time. 49 days / 7 weeks later, on the evening of Pentecost, restoration of Jerusalem is complete. 

God's mercy hasn't left Israel. Jews has missed Jesus's first coming by not paying attention to the 69 weeks prophecy. They should not miss Jesus' second coming because God has left them the 7 weeks prophecy. Hallelujah!!! All glory to God!!!

Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy is wrapped up in Pentecost. My calculation of Ezekiel's 430 years iniquity of Israel and Judah is also wrapped up in Pentecost 2030. Is it just a coincidence? I don't think so. Every calculation and all God's prophecies are lining up together and are pointing toward the First Fruit and Pentecost. Folks, we are living in the last days. We are very close to rapture and 7 years tribulation. The next event we shall witness is three shepherds war. This war is God's final warning to the church and all nations before He unleashes the seals, trumpets, and vials judgment on earth in the 7 years tribulation!!! When you see the three shepherds war, be vigilant and exciting, because God is going to call His church home very soon!!!
