Dear friends:
This message is in two parts. It contains major prophetic information.
Part 1 is from Dr. Neil Lipkin, a Messianic Jew, Bible scholar, and long-time friend:

Consider the following------- Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets) each year swings widely on the calendar by around a month or so (It is on the lunar calendar). The chances of Rosh Hashanah falling on Sept. 21st (each year the U.N. begins its sessions on that date) are about 1 in 30 for any given year. And this year Rosh Hashanah falls on Sept. 21st! Wow! And for this year that date (Sept. 21st) is to be called "Peace & Safety" day for the nations, which is just gang-busters! The U.N. uses a different slogan each year, and this is the first time that this particular slogan has been used, and it will not be used again in future years! Amazing! And we know what happens when the nations are saying "peace & safety"!
The Book of Revelation is NOT in chronological order at all! Many chapters swing back and forth in time describing various tribulation events! In Rev. 12 the word "harpazo" is used, which is the same word that is used describing the Rapture in 1 Thess. 4:16 & 17.
The very earliest beginning of these End Times in which we are living started with the World Zionist Conference in 1897 in Switzerland (Theodore Herzl)--------
1897 + 50 years (jubilee) = 1947 (U.N. Mandate to establish the State of Israel)
1897 + 70 years (that number is found many places in the Bible) = 1967 (Israel captured E. Jerusalem and the temple mount)
Now, the days of the coming of the Son of Man are JUST LIKE the days of Noah (Matt. 24:37-39), and Noah was given 120 years (Genesis 6:3).
So, it all began in 1897. Add 120 years-------- 2017 !!!!!!
The next two weeks are absolutely humongous on the timeline !!!!!! Remember that a specific day and hour we cannot know, and Rosh Hashanah is the only Jewish feast for which we cannot know the day nor hour that it begins! The new moon in Israel might be spotted on the evening of Sept. 20th, or maybe not for a couple of evenings after that. And that would change the time for the "last trump". Jesus died on Passover, rose again on the Feast of First Fruits (Easter), and the Holy Spirit descended on Pentecost. In the fall the Feast of Trumpets corresponds to the Rapture, Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) corresponds to the Second Coming, and Tabernacles will be celebrated each year during the coming 1000 year Kingdom Age. There is much Scripture on this. And to be a bit more complete, from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur is 10 days which are described in Jewish teaching as the "Days of Awe". Actually we do not know when the "last trump" is at all. Jewish teaching is that the "portals of heaven" are opened at Rosh Hashanah and are kept open during the 10 Days of Awe, and then there is a "great trumpet blast" at Kol Nidre, which is right before sunset when Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) begins. Jewish teaching says that with this "great trumpet blast" the portals of heaven close. Could that be the "last trump"? Actually we do not know.

P.S. Sadly the vast majority of churches want no part whatsoever with end time Bible prophecy, and are even hostile to it! This is also JUST LIKE the days of Noah-------only 7 people in Noah's family listened to Noah's message and heeded it. All the rest of the people perished! Late in these End Times the "lukewarm church" is all around us, and we are told in Rev. 3 that the Lord "spits the lukewarm out of His mouth"!
P.P.S. As you know from Scripture, "this generation shall not pass" refers to the generation to see Israel's return. Prior to 1948 the last time the Jewish people were a free, independent people in their own land was 721 BC when Assyria came down from the north and took the northern 10 tribes captive. That is a very, very long time ago, specifically 2669 years prior to 1948! The generation to see Israel return will see all end time events fulfilled. I always teach that a 13 year old in 1948 (just old enough to remember Israel coming into existence) is 82 years old in 2017! And 89 years old for the Second Coming IF the Rapture is yet this year. And again we are told "this generation shall not pass" until all end time events are fulfilled! This cannot be emphasized enough!
P.P.P.S. Israel is chomping at the bit to start building the Third Temple, but the Rapture must happen first to allow the antichrist to come forward to make the Daniel 9:27 covenant that will begin the 7 year Tribulation Period. Israel will be 70 years old in May of 1948, and should the Rapture happen in the very near future, Israel should be building the Third Temple at that time. The Holy Spirit showed me way back in 1980 that there will be a trade that the antichrist will negotiate------ a Palestinian State in trade for Israel's right to build the Third Temple. And the division of God's land with that Palestinian State will bring God's wrath down upon the nations during the 7 year Tribulation Period. God does not want His land (the land of Israel) divided! And the antichrist will indeed divide the land! See Joel 3:2!
P.P.P.P.S. I am sure that you know all the dates that intersect with 2017--------
1897 (World Zionist Conference) + 120 years = 2017
1917 (Balfour Declaration by the British allowing Jewish immigration into Palestine) + 100 years = 2017
1947 (UN Mandate for Palestine allowing Israel to come into existence) + 70 years = 2017
1967 (Israel captures East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount) + 50 years (jubilee) = 2017
1977 (Anwar Sadat of Egypt flies to Israel and the "peace process" begins) + 40 years (a classic biblical generation) = 2017
1987 (first Palestinian uprising (Intifadah)) + 30 years (used many places in the Bible----Jesus began his ministry at 30, David became king at 30) = 2017
And notice that each of these big events happened in the 7th year of the various decades! Just coincidence? Nothing with God is coincidence! Even the beginning of the "Revived Roman Empire" was in 1957 with the establishment of the European Common Market.
Lastly, from 1917 (Balfour Declaration) it was 50 years (jubilee----see Lev. 25:8-13) to 1967 when Israel captured East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. Add 50 years (another jubilee period) to 1967 and what do you get? 2017! It is now time to build the Third Temple! But again the Rapture must happen first!
