"Looking At Matthew 24:37 With Actual Dates"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
In this letter I wanted to look at Noe's days as actual dates - clues to 'the coming of the Son of Man" givens in Matthew 24:37.
 
Here are my thoughts:
 
"As the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be."  Matthew 24:37 
 
"as" (as it were) is also "just as", "even as", or "exactly like"
 
"days" is also "time", or 'time period of 24 hours from sunset to sunset'  
 
"so" is also "for in the same way, like this". 
 
"the" found in 'the coming' is 'the day'. (this translation is very interesting)
 
Could Matthew 24:37 be:  'Exactly like the days (24 hour periods) of Noe, it will be in the same way like this day of the coming of the Son of Man'.?
 
There is a literal translation of his verse:  "And as the days of Noe, so shall be the day of the arrival of the Son of man."
Matthew 24:37 Parallel: But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 
 
Could this be referring to the actual days (dates given) concerning Noah in relation to the Flood?  We are told about the tenth and the seventieth days of the 2nd month.  These dates were important enough to make note of.  For some reason....
 
On the tenth day, Noah, his family and the animals are safely secured from the coming judgment/tribulation.  Seven days later, the Flood/judgment came.  So, there was a seven day warning for the start of the Tribulation/judgment - not a warning for securing them in the Ark.
 
Should we be looking at those dates in parallel for the Rapture and start of the Tribulation? For example:  The Rapture happens.  And this is the seven day 'warning' for the start of the Tribulation.  (Many have thought there would be a seven day warning for the Rapture - but in relation to the Great Flood - it was the judgment/flood that had the seven day 'warning'.)
 
On the 17th day of the 2nd month the Great Flood/tribulation began.
 
Ten days before that, God closed the door of the Ark, sealing in Noah, his family and the animals.
 
So there is a time period of forty days (before God told Noah to get in the Ark). Then 7 days in the Ark waiting for the flood.  Then 40 days of rain.  (We can see the months are 30 days long.)  40 - 7 - 40.
 
The timeline is:  The first day of the year.  Then forty days (of waiting).  The Ark is sealed on the 10th day of the 2nd month.  Then seven days later on the 17th day of the 2nd month is begins to rain.  Forty days (of rain) takes us to the 27th day of the 3rd month.
 
We are told the 2nd month is Cheshvan (and not Nisan).  So on 10 Cheshvan Noah is sealed in the Ark; on 17 Cheshvan the Flood begins.  Forty days before 10 Cheshvan is Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets - the first day of the 1st month (Tishrei).  (In Exodus 12:2  during the Hebrew exodus from Egypt, God changed the first month from Tishrei (fall) to Nisan (Spring). Many scholars believe this to be correct.)
 
IF we use the story of Noah as a template ("as the days of Noe were") for the Rapture/ coming of the Son of Man and the  start of the Tribulation Period...then 10 Cheshvan is November 1 and 17 Cheshvan is November 8.  Both are on a Shabbat.
 
On a side note:
 
Gigi on Blue Heaven Youtube channel talked about 'two confirmations' for a soon Rapture involving the sighting of a hawk - she connected this to the tomahawk missiles President Trump may give to Ukraine - which is a red line for Putin.  She pointed out the September 15, 2032, Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur - 2520 days = October 22, 2025.  (depends on sighting of new moon).  I believe she is looking at October 22 as a possible Rapture day.

October 22, 2025 is the eve of the start of the 2nd month - Cheshvan.  1 Cheshvan is sunset October 22 to sunset October 23.  This is the month, 2nd month, mentioned above for 'the days of Noah'.
 
Remember the sighting of the new moon brings the new month... Renewedmoon.com has a 'more likely sighting of the new moon' on Thursday, October 23rd.  IF October 23 is the first day of Cheshvan, the 10 Cheshvan will be November 2 and 17 Cheshvan will be November 9 (both Sundays).

So possible Rapture on 10 Cheshvan (November 1/2) and start of the Tribulation on 17 Cheshvan (November 8/9).
 
Just a thought as I was looking at Matthew 24:37.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
