"My analysis of the timing of the rapture event"

It is Sunday, September 7, 2014 today.

Those of you who have read about the sign of Noah (120 years) in Genesis 6 as relates to modern Israel's regathering know that I believe an overlay of this time is on Israel today and will lead to the return of Jesus Christ as her King of Kings.  If any would like the full article, simply post on Five Doves the request and I will answer you.

I believe that now is the probable time of the rapture of the Bride.  What follows is what I think is the final sign's fulfillment and the reasons I believe it to be so.

This is a probable scenario given two things:

    1.    The fact that prophecy fulfillment is very often at the very last minute possible.
    2.    The fact that God, in His Scriptures, seems to leave a plausible path so that the discering can see the way.

Let's take number 1.  

If the sign of Noah (Matt 24:37) is indeed the overlaying of the days of Noah onto the current REGATHERED Israel then we have two possible start dates as I see it.  These are August 29, 1897 and counting forward 43,125 days (and then adding the 75 days of Daniel 12) for a total count of 43,200 days.  That is 120 years (Gen 6) times 360 days per year (pre-flood earth years)
for a total count of 43,200 days.  The other possible start date is 5 days later, that is the 5th day of the first Zionist Congress in 1897 as the start.  This is when Britain agreed with Herzl and asked for his help against the Ottomon Empire (Turkey).  To explain:

a.  The total count of days is 43,200.  The total days in Daniel 12 is 75.  The days to the start of the Daniel 12 days is therefore 43,125.  The last 2,520 days of this 43,125 days count belong to the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy.  These could run two ways:

    1.    From August 29, 1897 through September 23, 2015
    2.    From September 2, 1897 through September 28, 2015.

Why consider no. 2, the latter?  Because it is the  final blood moon of the 2014-15 tetrad of eclipses.  If  the second one is true, that makes the 70th week of Daniel begin on election day, 2008, November 4/5 and end September 28/29, 2015 with the second coming of Jesus Christ.  The remaining 75 days are divided into two parts:  first 30 days of mourning and second 45 days to annoint the Most Holy One (Daniel 9:24).  \

The end product using the latter date  is December 12, 2015.  Then the Kingdom Age begins.

Let's now take number 2

If the above is the sign of Noah that Jesus spoke of, then the rest of it is the sign also.  The rest of it consists of two parts:  first Noah received a 7 days “heads up” to prepare to get into the ark.  Second Noah was in the ark of safety exactly 365 days during which his world perished.  He and 7 other family members survived and they are the forebears of all we have in the world today.  There are two numbers here:  7 and 365.

    1.    Genesis 7 and 8 detail the flood.  Noah was given 7 days notice before the rains came.
    2.    After that the days that he was in the ark are carefully delineated into segments by the Holy Spirit.  The counts are as follows:
    3.    
40 days during which rains by waterfall standards came down on the earth
110 days during which the ark floated on oceans of water.
74 days after the ark struck land until Noah looked out a window of the ark
40 days after this he released a raven which did not come back to the ark
7 days Noah waited after sending the raven.
7 days later he sent out a dove that returned to the ark, exhausted.
7 days later he sent out a second dove which came back bearing an olive twig  in its beak.
22 days later, Noah was satisfied that new growth was somewhere out there.
57 days later, Noah and his family opened the massive door to the ark and prepared to leave
1 day later Noah and his family stepped out of the ark on dry ground.

Thus the three signs given Noah are herewith delineated to you.

Now, everything depends on the 120 years being actual fact and working as given.  If this is so, then there MUST be one year before the coming of Jesus Christ in glory in order to fulfill the third sign of Noah and it can start no later then September 28, 2014 and end no later then September 28, 2015.  And as already stated, if God waits, as has been His practice, to the last hour, the rapture of the Bride will be September 28, 2014, and then destruction will come.  That means that the watchers should had an indication September 21/22, 2014 the first day of Fall.

Add to this the sign of Lot as foretold by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24 as well.  That sign, of course is fire.  I think that this will be fulfilled in the first 40 days above as a “rain of fire” instead of water.  I believe this will be either nuclear bombs or fire from the sun.  Either way, it is nuclear.  

I am carefully watching as events today indicate major things coming.  For example, the CME that is hitting earth even as I write this, and the asteroid flyby only 3,000 miles away on Sunday. The major volcanic activity in Iceland which could blow the top off the earth any time now, and the wars and rumors of them.  The problem of Israel being surrounded by its enemies is a direct fulfillment of Holy Writ.  My thought is “come Lord Jesus”

The date is September 9, 2014.  This is the article as it appeared in 2011  with only a very few updates.

THE MIRACLE OF THE MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL

The Holy Spirit put this into my mind on January 27, 2011 and since then I have expanded on the article until now, September 5, 2014.

The gospel of Matthew was written to present Jesus as the KING OF THE JEWS.
The gospel of Mark was written to present Jesus as the humble SERVANT
The gospel of Luke was written to present Jesus as the human SON OF MAN
The gospel of John was written to present Jesus as the divine SON OF GOD.

Bible prophecy buffs know and need to keep in mind the truth that Matthew’s gospel contains the “sign of Noah” as relates to the nation Israel, when handling the Word of God as it applies to prophecy and their understanding thereof.  In the Gospel of Matthew, which was addressed to the Jews, Jesus is seen warning them in chapter 24, that “as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of coming of the Son of Man”.  While meditating on this verse, it occurred to me that it might be advantageous to take a look at the 120 years of warning of coming world destruction in Noah’s day as it might apply to MODERN ISRAEL TODAY.  The world at the time of Noah was still in its pristine condition with a 360 days perfect year rotation cycle causing the perfect climate conditions of creation week.  This cycle continued after the fall in the garden until the great flood. 

Therefore, 120 years in his day was 120 x 360 = 43,200 days. 

Applying this to the current times, would the end of 43,200 days from some start point give us the climax of the Jewish experience with the return of their King Jesus to them?  IN 2015 HAS THEIR KING NOT ONLY COME BUT HAS HE MOVED THEM INTO THE KINGDOM??

                             MODERN ISRAEL’S REGATHERING

I first “discovered”, by God’s grace, what I call “the overlay” of days in the sign of Noah onto the modern Jewish experience.  It caused me to research Zionism.  Here is what I found:

The first Zionist Congress was held on August 29-31, 1897 at Basel, Switzerland.  Theodor Herzel, a much honored Jew, and considered to be the founder of modern-day Israel, wrote on September 3, 1897 of that event saying that, “In Basel, I have FOUNDED THE JEWISH STATE”.  This founding occurred the first or else the fifth day of the first Jewish Congress in 1,827 years, which date was August 29, 1897  or September 2, 1897.   Herzel later obtained an appointment with Ottoman Empire ruler Sultan Abdul Haniel, in which he offered to buy up the Turkish national debt in exchange for Jewish rights in “the promised land” of Palestine.  He didn’t have the money to do so, of course, but felt “led” to make the offer just the same.  Nothing immediately came of the offer.  The Zionist Congress met each year after that up until about 1925.  (The Balfour Declaration came in 1922).

The holy land was under control of the British government.  General Chinese Gordon, an English Army General was the overseer of Jerusalem area in 1892.  The importance of this is that he began excavation circa 1892 of what is today called the Garden Tomb, which many believe to be the actual tomb of Joseph of Arimethea, in which the body of Jesus lay for three days and nights following his death by crucifixion.  The so-called Garden Tomb is a picturesque garden setting and the tomb has places for five bodies.  It is at the bottom of the hill of the skull called Golgoltha.  The tomb has had so many visitors in and out of it that the step at the door has been worn down almost 6 inches in solid rock.  Millions of steps would be required in order for this to happen.  Gordon, himself, felt that this was the tomb of Christ. 

Gordon retired and returned to England prior to the outbreak of WW 1. 

At the onset of World War 1 in 1914, Britain asked Jewish statesman Theodor Herzl, through addressing the Zionist Congress, to support the British effort to defeat the Ottoman Empire.   Herzl agreed by handshake to do this and did so all during the war. 

On November 2, 1917, British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour, in a letter to Lionel Walter Rothschild, a British Jewry leader, promised in his declaration, the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine (that would not disturb non-Jews living there).  In exchange, the Jews were to SUPPORT Britain’s World War I efforts against the Ottoman Empire.  The declaration was incorporated into the newly formed LEAGUE OF NATIONS, backed by both greater Europe and the British Empire.

On December 9, 1917, General Edmund Allenby of Great Britain crossed the Jordan river bridge into Palestine, which would later, in 1948 be called Israel.  He went on to enter Jerusalem December 11, 1917.  The League of Nations was formed just following the end of WW1, “the great war” as a result of the Paris Peace Conference.

Then in late 1922, the League of Nations issued a mandate giving the British firm control and oversight of Palestine, which formalized their already in place control.  The Balfour Declaration now had all the teeth necessary to establish a Jewish presence in Palestine.  Jews began to return to their homeland, in small numbers, and began to reclaim some of the barren land.

In the ensuing years, a marvelous thing occurred that would lead to the birth of a nation.

About the year 1935 or so, the third Reich of Nazi Germany rose to power and orchestrated the events that would lead to World War 2.  Adolph Hitler’s final solution for the Jews during that war was extermination by whatever means available. The program of genocide of the Jews (and others) was launched in 1942.  Hitler’s utter defeat came in April, 1945, at which time he committed suicide.  Immediately the furnaces of Auschwitz, Ravensbruk, Treblinka, Buchenwald and Dachau came to light to a horrified world as Russian troops moved into the area and discovered the atrocities.  Americans also discovered the camps and wept openly at what they found.  In that same year, on the Black Fast, August 6, 1945, the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima, Japan, effectively ending the second world war, except for mop up in Asia which later became known as the Korean conflict and years later, because of its sheer size and fierceness, the Korean war.

At the same time at the end of World War 2, UFO’s began to appear in earnest on July 9, 1947 with the notable UFO crash in Roswell, N. Mexico.  Literally thousands and thousands of sightings have since been recorded.  It is noteworthy that these sightings intensified with the ongoing existence of NEWLY FORMED ISRAEL.  This seems to tie them to demonic activity (and perhaps heavenly activity too), as satanic forces seek to offset God’s plan to return for His own.

The first glimmer of Israel’s (re)birth came immediately with these UFO’s on November 29, 1947 with a resolution (no. 181 of the U. N.) for a homeland for the survivors of the holocaust plagued Jews of WW II.  This became a world cause of the newly established United Nations and it paved the way for the UNITED NATIONS, successor of the defunct League of Nations, to (re)birth the modern State of Israel on May 14, 1948.  This fulfilled Bible prophecy, which declared it a miracle that a nation could be born in one day.  The chief supporter and vocal backer of this resolution was the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by way of its President, Harry S. Truman.

THUS CAME ABOUT THE MIRACULOUS (RE)BIRTH OF THE MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL, born in a single day, and while called a State, we all know her as the nation.  Born May 14, 1948 and exactly 280 days later, Israel elected David Ben-Gurion as her first Prime Minister on February 17, 1949.  Almost 1,879 years had elapsed since Israel had had a government.

                              AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH

Now, remember that God had instructed Noah to prepare an ark (the size of RMS TITANIC) for the saving of his household.  He had 120 years from the call of the Holy Spirit, during and in which to do the job until destruction of his civilization and world.  Using this TIME ELEMENT in application to modern Israel, a wonderful overlay of time works out.  The 120 years time works out like this:

Noah’s count of 120 years @ 360 days per year       43,200 days

Modern Israel’s count**

From 8/29/1897 through 11/2/1917 there are       7,369 days-First Cong to Balfour
From 11/3/1917 through 12/9/1917 there are            37 days-Balfour to Allenby
From 12/10/1917 through 11/29/1947 there are  10,948 days-First U. N. resolution
From 11/30/1947 through 5/14/1948 there are         166 days-(Re)birth of Israel
From 5/15/1948 through 6/6/1967 there are          6,965 days-Jerusalem (re)claimed
From 6/7/1967 through 11/25/1973 there are        2,316 days-Yom Kippur war
From 11/26/1973 through 4/11/2012 there are   14,064 days-Midpoint of 70th week
From 4/12/2012 through 09/23/2015 there are     1,260 days-Day of great tribulation
From 9/24/2015 through 12/7/2015 there are            75 days-Extended days (Dan 12)

**Based on the final blood moon of September 28, 2015, this all may move 5 days forward, but not necessarily.  This says that the 70th week of Daniel is from election day 2008 through the final blood moon, 2015.  Add to that the 75 days of Daniel 12.

Grand Total                                                           43,200 days (120 yrs x 360 days)

Another and therefore confirming way to count the time is this:

From 8/29/1897 to 12/31/1900                                       1,221. days
The 20th century of 100 years @ 365.24219 days      36,524. days
14 years of the 21st century @ 365.24219 days            5,113. days
342 days of the year 2015 thru 12/7.                                342. days

Total days                                                                     43,200   days

December 8, 2015 begins the Year of Jubilee, when captives are set free and debts are forgiven.  Evidently the next year will be the beginning of the KINGDOM AGE.  It will last for 1,000 years.

              VERIFICATION BY THE SOLAR AND LUNAR ECLIPSES

Now consider the work of Seattle Pastor Mark Biltz which work identified tetrads of lunar and solar eclipses indicating the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy will occur starting on the date of 10/29/2008 and will end on 09/23/2015.  These eclipses, in 2014 and 2015 all falling on Jewish Feast days mark out a 7 year (of 360 days each) period of 2,520 days which match perfectly the Bible count in both Daniel and Revelation.  On top of that, the angel in Daniel chapter 12 extended the 2,520 days period of Daniel’s 70th week by 75 days making the total time 2,595 days, consisting of 1,260 in the first half, (commonly called the “tribulation” and 1,260 in the second half, a part of which is known as the GREAT TRIBULATION OR ALSO THE WRATH OF GOD ALMIGHTY, and finally 30 days and 45 days additionally.  The 30 days is the time of mourning by the Jews for crucifying their Messiah, and the 45 days will seal up the vision and bring in the Kingdom.  This extension ends precisely on December 7, 2015.  AND FROM August 29, 1897 THERE ARE 43,200 DAYS EXACTLY UNTIL 12/7/2015. This date is the end of the whole age matter for Israel AND THEREFORE FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD.  It is way beyond mere coincidence.

                  THIS ESTABLISHES THE ANCHOR POINT BEYOND
                  WHICH WE MUST NOT GO BEFORE THE YEAR OF
                                                JUBILEE BEGINS. 

Thus, when Jesus said “as it was in the days of Noah” He was referring to ISRAEL.  This means that Matthew chapters 24 and 25 were addressed, not to the Church, but to Israel in the last days. 

It all fits like a hand in a glove with the findings of the tetrads of eclipses signifying the timing of 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy for Israel.  The 30 minutes of silence in heaven when the antichrist made his speech to millions, October 29/30, 2008 started the 2,595 days of Daniel’s prophecy.  The only question for the Church is when in the remaining days of the last half of this tribulation period do we go home? 

                                     WHAT MEANETH ALL THIS?

We are fast approaching the deadline of the time for the coming WRATH OF GOD, called the GREAT tribulation.  The second and third parts of the sign of Noah found in Genesis 7 and 8 are 7 days call into the ark and 365 days inside the ark.  It also verifies the signs in the heavens as being accurate in their value to us, to show us the lateness of the hour.  It also verifies the work of Ron Reese who identified October 29/30, 2008 as the beginning of the time with Obama’s covenant with millions.   You might want to read his website at www.thefinal7yearsareherenow.com.  I personally am convinced that this is the verification of what we prophecy watchers have all been looking for moveable by n o more than 5 days.

If this timeline of 43,200 days with its DNA level odds of being accurate is not a coincidence,  then it provides us the anchor point from which to figure all prophetic things.  Just look at what it does:

1.  It verifies the work of Pastor Mark Biltz, viz-a-viz the tetrads of eclipses in 2014 and 2015 as being markers for the end of the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy.

2   It verifies the work of Brother Ron Reese in his find of the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy beginning October 29, 2008.

3.  It verifies the identity of U. S. President Obama as THE key player in these events.  It also verifies that the U. S. will “abandon” Israel in its desire for self-defense against its Arab neighbors.


4.  It verifies that the rapture of the Church must be some time AFTER the mid point of the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy, but no later than 365 days before the end. 

5.  It verifies the 2012 election in the U. S. which kept President Obama in power is of paramount importance as the seat of power in the modern world. 

6.  It verifies that God established the U. S. to be a protector of Israel and blessed her with bounty and power beyond imagination.   

7.  It verifies that America is in great danger of judgment from God Almighty if she does not turn from her godless ways, support her little sister Israel, and do it right now. (Song of Solomon 8).

8.  It verifies the work of a great company of “watchers” as expressed in their posts, articles, and web sites and their understandings over these past years.  All are part and parcel of the great puzzle solving in this, the last days.

9.  It verifies that the Bible, given in English in 1611 is not only truth, but it is accurate in it details.  It has been preserved by God Himself.

10.  It verifies that God’s nation Israel will survive as the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 10 and 11.  She has been shelved only until the rapture event, after which the scales will fall from her national eyes, and she will see the truth of her destiny. 

11.  It verifies that Jerusalem has become a “cup of trembling” to all the nations around her.  Indeed, to the whole world.  God put Jerusalem back into the hands of His people Israel for the purpose of end time events fulfillment.

12.  It verifies that the Kingdom Age of 1,000 years, 360,000 days  is just ahead for His people the Jews.  In it, they will rule over the earth, under their beloved David, resurrected and reigning under Jesus Christ Himself, who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Bless His Name forever. 

13.  It assures that the 7,000 years plan of Almighty God has nearly reached the end of 6,000 years.  The time is now, for God to reclaim His planet, and He is doing so by massive judgment of Satan and sinners alike RIGHT NOW.

14.  It verifies that we are the last generation and our time is about up.  The rapture of the saints with the Philadelphian spirit is at the door.

15.  It verifies that the Psalm 83 war is at hand.  It also verifies that this war will turn into the Ezekiel 38/39 war and that in turn will lead to the Gog, the head of Magog to his final destruction.  (Gog is Putin?)

16.  It verifies Jesus stern warnings about those who will be left behind at the time of the rapture.  It will be proved that it was not smart to fool around with God’s demands for a holy life.

17.  It verifies the final and harsh judgment on the “movers and shakers” of this world that sold themselves to the devil’s program for greed and gain.  It will break the back of the power structure as it returns God’s earth to Him.

When the end of Daniel’s 70th week prophecy is reached on September 23, 2015, there will then be 75 additional days according to Daniel 12.  These days are divided into two periods.  First 30 days and next 45 days.  Here is what these days will accomplish;

1.  30 days is the prescribed mourning period for a death in Israel.  Can you imagine the depth of mourning by them when they realize that Jesus was indeed their Messiah and that they killed Him?  Can you just imagine?

2.  45 days fulfills Daniel 9:24 by doing the following

     >Finish the trangression
     >Make an end of sins
     >Make reconciliation for iniquity (the bent toward sinning)
     >Bring in everlasting righteousness (doing it God’s right way)
     >Seal up the vision
     >Seal up the prophecy
     >Anoint the most Holy (One)

This ends on December 7, 2015, or December 12,  2015 after which the Holy One causes the releasing of all slaves (to sin), forgiveness of all debts (total forgiveness) and return to tribal land and tribal property.  This allows, over a year’s time, the Kingdom Age to be set up and to begin.

As for His Church, His Bride, beloved, make no mistake..We are going home very, very soon, as soon as September 23 – 28, 2015? 

Blessings
