4.The Countdown

The Day of the Lord & The End of this Age

It’s Very Late On God’s Calendar.

(As far as the Adam to Abraham time duration, I don’t think we can confirm everyone who was at that time in a faith relationship with God and for how long; I only know of Abel, perhaps Seth, Enoch, Noah, Job, and no-one knows how long Job lived.)

The links below, regarding God’s 490 year pattern, help explain it, The Book of Enoch gives the greatest insight, but even more information has been revealed in these end times:

Here are three study links

The writer of Enoch must’ve gotten his knowledge of the 7, 490 yr great jubilee cycles from Daniel 9, before Theodotion got his hands on it. explained below

COVENANT TIME: God’s 490-Year Pattern

It’s useful although the author’s a preterist.

https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2016/Covenant%20Time.pdf

God broke His Covenant Time for 40 Years.

The hour’s getting late, so in a nutshell, it’s 3,430 years:

https://www.crivoice.org/israelitekings.html

That’s pretty exact, but we always need to compare to other witnesses, which will be covered on this post. It’s interesting that the masonry for the temple was already cut in David’s reign. (1 Chronicles 22-26)

Whether talking about the:

Daniel 9:24, 70-WEEKS-PROPHESY (490 yrs.)

or the

Daniel 9:27, 7-x-70-WEEKS-PROPHESY (3,430 yrs.)

. . . we’re dealing with organized ‘weeks of years’ ending with sabbatical or sabbath years.

A sabbath year is the final year of a structured week-of-years called a Shmita Cycle.

An organized seven units of time, whether it be of days or years, is called a ‘shabua’.

Why are these year-long appointed times prescribed by God Almighty every 7th year? They’re designed for land rest and total forgiveness of all dept, to prevent any of God’s covenant people from gaining undue wealth and power with which to oppress their brethren in God’s land.

Check my calculations here:

God Almighty Measures His Covenant Time with Great Jubilee Cycles.

As addressed above, our Holy Almighty God has, even from before the flood, left out of His time reckoning, certain episodes when people were ‘out of faith’ with Him. But with the Mosaic Covenant, He established rules for dealing with rebellion, using judgment/probation periods. The 490 year Great Jubilee Cycles have become disciplinary judgment/probation periods in which God, in his long suffering, also extends mercy to His Old Covenant people – another chance for them to get it right. The 70 Weeks (490 yrs.) of Daniel is one example of a Great Jubilee Cycle. In fact, since the sons of Jacob have been sinning, nearly continuously, since before the crossing at the Red Sea, all 7 Great Jubilee Cycles are disciplinary judgment/probation periods. This is related to what He meant when Jesus said we should forgive 70 times 7 times.

“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “Jesus says to him, “I say to you not up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.”

Matt. 18:21-22

Note: That’s 490 forgivenesses. God counts His forgivenesses by years grouped into 7’s. A Shmita cycle is 7 structured years ending in a Sabbatical/Sabbath year. Seven of those make a 49 year Jubilee Cycle, and ten of those make a 490 year Great Jubilee Cycle. Depending on how one looks at this, it seems that that God actually forgives 7 times more than the number of times He told Peter to forgive, but that’s if you count it in individual years, not weeks of years! There are 7 Great Jubilee Cycles in God’s redemption plan. Hallelujah!

Even the 70 years of the Babylonian exile were based on the 490 years of neglect of the Torah prescribed land Sabbaths that Judah committed.

The 40 years between the Cross and the AD 70 destruction of the second temple, has been cut out by God from His Covenant Time.

The Final 4 Great Jubilee Cycles

I’ve attempted to make these things easy to understand in the rest of this post. But I won’t oversimplify it. I’m not the only one who’s observed that there are an additional 4 Great Jubilee Cycles, that begin their countdown from the year after God destroyed the second temple in Jerusalem. I first saw it mentioned by C. J. Lovik, in a few of his videos, but I derived it in a completely different way!

Update: I recently discovered Ryan from ‘Counting for Caleb’ who derived some very similar overall timeline elements to those presented in this post and this blog, such as the significance of the Midnight Cry Portent! (See post 3.) Like me, Ryan also uses the 7 x 70 weeks-of-years method, but he deems the 40 years that God delayed the Israelites, in the dessert, before allowing them to enter the promised land, as the part God ‘cut out’ of His covenant years; His method makes it more challenging to recognize that the final four Great Jubilee Cycles have been re-instituted by God because of His New Covenant in the blood of Jesus Christ! (See post 13. Last Hour Links for links to both Ryan, Lovik and Nelson Walters who has recently come to embrace God’s 7 x 490 yrs. plan.

The final Shmita Cycle of the last of the Great Jubilee Cycles overlaps the final Shmita Cycle of Daniel’s-70th-week. (Although, there could be a 30 day offset due to immaturity of Jesus’ barley bride and/or the corrupted Rabbinical calendar, which would match up with the mysterious 30 added on days of Daniel 12:11.) It’s still the same Shmita cycle and it ends with the final Jubilee Year! In addition, there are four other great Biblical prophesies that reach their conclusions at the same time! They all dovetail with Daniels-70th-week! (see mark 4.26 below)

So you might rightly get up in arms and say ‘God doesn’t do anything without first revealing it to His prophets!’

Well, as introduced above (at mark 4.2 Count, Glory to God) a total count of 7 Great Jubilee Cycles was revealed by God in Daniel 9:27, as recorded in the Old Greek Septuagint. I think the Lexham English Translation of the Septuagint 1st edition may have the best translation into English. (I’ve acquired the Old Greek itself and confirmed it using Strongs and other lexicons.) It’s explained in this post and elsewhere in AlephTav.blog. I also pasted my own final translation below, with explanations.

God answered Daniel’s long prayer according to Daniel’s repentance of his peoples sins.

In Daniel’s 21 day long prayer with fasting and no anointing (Dan.9:3-19 &10:13) he repented of the sins of his people all the way back to the time of Moses. God YHWH matched that in His answer in which God pointed out the 7 Great Jubilee Cycles of 490 yrs. each, that cover the span of time from Moses/Exodus to the Messiah’s Second Coming at Armageddon. The Old Greek version of Dan. 9:27, the correct version, is much longer. It actually contains the additional prophesy that was removed by Theodotian, and subsequently the Masorites. (It has a big history, saving it for later) So, to say it again: The prophesy is: 7 x 70 x 7, which can also be shown as 7 x 490. It’s 3,430 years either way! Remember the Dan. 9:27 prophesy does not replace the Dan. 9:24, 70-Weeks-Prophesy. And, it’s worth repeating that, quite remarkably, the two prophesies dovetail in the final shmita cycle and end on the very same Sabbath year.

2,000 Years from the Crucifixion to the Final Restoration of 1/3 of the Jews to God.

The final 4 Great Jubilee Cycles are a modified version of God’s judgment/probation cycles. Throughout all that time individual Jews may have been redeemed through faith in Jesus Christ via the New Covenant. Ultimately, 1/3 of Jews will be redeemed by accepting Jesus as their Christ, but nothing resembling a national repentance will occur until they see the death, resurrection and rapture of the Two Witnesses, followed by the death of 7,000 people by an earthquake in Jerusalem and the setting up of the abomination of desolation. Those new believers, who will flee to the wilderness, represent national Israel. But, they won’t be harvested until the very end of the final week of this age. (They’re the owner’s portion of Jesus’ fruit or ‘good grape harvest’).

The CRUX

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmud

. . . Therefore their punishment was multiplied by 7 again: 7 x 280 = 1960 yrs, (Including the 280 years of time served.) Add those 1,960 yrs plus the original 40 years to get the prophetic 2,000 years! That’s 2,000 yrs from the Crucifixion before the final restoration of the remnant of the Jews to God, 1/3 of them.

2023 END-TIMES PROPHECY (70th Week of Daniel Revealed)

by C J Lovik: mark 25.18 has the key

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw2p06bgyKg&t=1110s

Zechariah 13: 8-9

There’s a useful homemade block chart below, starting at mark 4.20. It simplifies things a lot! But, first I want to explain how I’ve used prophetic numbers. There’s really no shortcut to explaining the 2,000 yrs. But, I think I’ve achieved it. It’s not confusing.

More about the final two thousand years.

https://ref.ly/Ho6

This prophesy is for Ephraim and Judah. Although God certainly turned his face from Ephraim first and allowed them to be exiled for more than 2,700 yrs, God hadn’t completely withdrawn Himself from ‘them’ until He ‘completely’ withdrew from ‘them both’, Ephraim and Judah. In the Book of Hosea, God reveals His strong love and wrath: (It’s a must read book for us to understand the heart of God our Father! God seemed to be wavering between love and hate for Ephraim (Israel). How important is Ephraim to God? They were the Northern Kingdom (called Israel), 10 out of the 12 tribes of the Son’s of Jacob/Israel, very important!

Hosea 5:5-6,

 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them;
    the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin;
    Judah also stumbles with them.
When they go with their flocks and herds
    to seek the Lord,
they will not find him;

    He has withdrawn himself from them.

Although the story line of the Book of Hosea is mostly told through God’s relationship with the Northern Kingdom (the House of Israel), dramatized by God having Hosea marry a prostitute; Hosea’s prophesy is ultimately about the Millennial Kingdom, when He will forgive and restore them. Who’s ‘them’ in Hosea 5:6? It’s both the House-of-Israel/Ephraim and the House-of-Judah. At the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom, He will join them back together into one stick. (see Ezekiel 37:15 below)

Matthew 23:37-39

 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.   Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”

So, instead of counting forward 2,000 yrs (2 days) from, 722 BC when Assyria took Ephraim (the House of Israel) and most of them were scattered, among the nations, (although many of them took refuge in Judah) let’s count backwards from the start of the Millennial Kingdom, which we’ve calculated above. That’s how we find out when God withdraws Himself from THEM: Ephraim and Judah.

March 24, 2031 AD is exactly 3,470 yrs, to the day, after God gave Moses the calendar.

Counting 2,000 yrs backward from March 24, 2031 AD brings us to Spring of 31 AD.

So what event could’ve triggered the full definitive 2,000 yr. withdrawal of God from both Judah and Ephraim? Hmm. Hmmm?

As will be explained below, a 31 ADT crucifixion would’ve fallen on a Wednesday.

The 2 day (2,000 yr.) Hosea 6 prophesy refers to the time duration from the year of the Lord’s Ascension to heaven to the completion of His second coming when the last remaining Judeans will say “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” Keep in mind that the Hosea 6:2 prophesy says, After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up.”

The gathering of the main harvest of the Jews will occur 1,260 days after the abomination of desolation is first seen by them, as it’s being set up on the wing of the 3rd temple. That’s called the main harvest of the good grapes, which will take place 30 days before Jesus Christ destroys the A.O.D.. There will be a remainder, called the gleanings of the good grape harvest; They’ll be the Jewish martyrs who will be harvested in that 30 day period.

Finally, there’s the group of ‘elect’ Jews who’ll miss all the harvests and the marriage supper of the Lamb, yet call on their true Messiah’s name at the very last micro-second before they’re destroyed by the the Beast in the Battle at Armageddon. Jesus will wait, behind the veil, for them to call on His holy name before He reveals Himself. Then He will defeat the armies of the world by His Full Glory and by the sword that will come out of His mouth – the WORD of TRUTH; His standard, all His risen saints will be at his side and behind Him, and myriads of holy angels will fill the heavens farther than the human eye can see!

After the armies of Earth are defeated, then Jesus Christ will destroy the Abomination of Desolation.

Those last microsecond Jews are still considered to be God’s elect. They’ll be allowed to enter the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ with mortal bodies and greatly extended lifespans, and they will reproduce a lot!

And of course, lets not forget the lost Northern tribes called ‘Ephraim’. They’ll also be brought into the Millennium with mortal bodies. They’ll be made ‘one stick’ with the final Jews. Daniel 12 says blessed are those who wait until the 1,335 days. So, it appears that this will happens in the 45 days after the A.O.D. is destroyed, after the conclusion of the Daniel 70th week proper. This also fits with the words ‘after two days’ in the Hosea 6:2 prophesy.

Recapping – In Hosea 5, when it says “He has withdrawn Himself from them (both of them),” that only happened with the ascension of Jesus Christ. When He returns He’ll restore them to be one stick. (Ezekiel 37:15 below)

Joining them back together – to one stick

Ezekiel 36:24, “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of My Holy Name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone.

Ezekiel 37:15-23, The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’ Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand. When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’ say to them, This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.” Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on and say to them, This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God. ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. . . I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel!'”

Summary and End Cap:

Getting ready to view the homemade block chart:

Overview

Daniel 9:27 Masoretic NIV “He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”

Here’s the best of the translations I made from the very difficult to find Old Greek Daniel 9. Every translation has issues, but looking at many of them helps a person see through it all. Translators from the seminary schools and related establishments are under great pressure to conform to prior mistakes made by their institutions, even obvious ones. Some who’ve left the fold have come out and publicly admitted the problem. You can check it yourself by using many lexicons. Don’t be fooled, some seminaries will say you must buy $600 lexicons from them, but they’ve folded their agenda into those.

Daniel 9:27

Many will align with a ruler/prince who will bring back to life The Covenant (Mosaic), rebuilt with length and width according to end time standards, after 7 x 70 appointed times (Sabbath years), also with 62 years (males having ‘come of age’ clansmen, specifically temple guards), until at the right moment for the consummation of joint (sin) debt payment, war will be against it, attempting to desertify it. After many weeks, the covenant will be greatly prevailed upon . But by the time the ‘weeks’ will be taken away, sacrifice, libation and the great sacred thing, (the ark of the covenant) it (the Mosaic Covenant) will have reached its perfect/fulfillment. Abomination making desolate will exist until a joint (sin) debt payment is given – great desertification!

Daniel 9:24-27 –In Old Greek.

https://alephtav.blog/daniel-9-full-og/

A collection of Dan. 9:24-27 verses in various Septuagints https://alephtav.blog/og-english/

Apparently, first century Christians hated the Book of Daniel!

As a result, it was heavily redacted by someone named Theodotion into a version they found so much more palatable, that they accepted it, even without source documents! It’s been theorized, and it makes great sense, that what they hated most was the time duration of 3,430 yrs. It says “after seven periods of seventy ‘appointed times.'” They wanted Jesus Christ our glorious beloved Savior to return right away!

The Hebrew word ‘shavuot’ means ‘weeks’ or ‘sevens’.

I hope I’m clarifying the importance to God, of sevens, on all time scales. It’s the foundation of God’s Covenant Time!

Sevens are the key to unlocking God’s timeline.

God seems to use:

Fractal Time!

The end of every Torah week-of-days is an appointed time – a Sabbath Day. The end of every Torah week-of-years is an appointed time – a Sabbath Year. The end of God’s week-of-millennia is an appointed time – a Sabbath Millennium, in which Jesus Christ will rule as King of kings of all Nations and we will all will know Him face to face!

God’s 7 periods of 70 appointed times expire on the last day of 2030 ADT, which is March 24, 2031 AD.

And the very next day was Nisan 1, 2024 ADT the first day of Daniel’s 70th week!

It’s 7 x 70 x 7 years or 70 x 49 years or 3,430 yrs.

If anyone thought of seventy sevens as being a long time, think about seven times seventy sevens! That’s 7 Great Jubilee Cycles of 490 years each, 3,430 years. Appointed times are the set apart times for ‘dress rehearsals’ that God Almighty appointed in the Torah. But, when looking at such a big picture, and this is a recap: When looking at the overall timeline of God’s covenant relationship with the Sons of Jacob/Israel starting from the Exodus, the only type of ‘appointed times’ that could possibly have been used are Sabbath years, the final years of God’s structured weeks-of-years called shmita cycles.

The 70 Sabbath years that Judah neglected over a period of 490 yrs. is the reason why God exiled them to Babylon for 70 years, one year in exile for each year of neglecting land rest and forgiveness of debt. Sabbath years are that important to God!

The overview block chart:

Notice the overlapping Jubilee Years (in orange) that conjoin adjacent Jubilee Cycles. Those are called the ’50th year’ of each cycle. They’re not chronological; As you can see they overlap. That’s because in God’s Torah Law, all years start in the Spring, except for ‘Jubilee Years,’ which begin in Fall on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).

The first block of the first Jubilee Cycle is the year, 457 BC. That’s the year I’m using for the decree of the Persian King Artaxerxes 1st to rebuild God’s Temple which kicks off the Daniel 9:24, 70-weeks-prophesy. The Sabbath years are metallic brown.

The Detailed Block Chart

Here’s a complete view with some of the details showing. (For a complete list of date estimates for the final week of years, see the bottom of this post.)

God made so much fall together for me with this chart, first with the Dan. 9:24, 70 weeks prophesy, but also later with the 7 x 70 x 7 prophesy, which after being converted to our calendars, dovetailed with it, in the final week of years ending on the last day of 2030 ADT,

40 years after Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion, in 70 AD, God used Roman legions under Titus to destroy the 2nd temple in Jerusalem. The Ezekiel 4:6 Forty-Year-Siege-Prophesy, the one where Ezekiel lay on his right side, predicted it in the sixth century BC. (more about it below)

The Brenton’s Septuagint 9:26 verse: https://alephtav.blog/brentons-septuagint/

Notice that after the destruction of God’s Temple, God’s 490 year Great Jubilee Cycles re-emerged.

About the block chart – crucifixion date:

It must’ve been on the fourth day of the week in order for the sign of Jonah to be perfect.

We call the fourth day of the week Wednesday although the Torah day starts ~6 hrs prior.

Jesus Christ was put in His grave at twilight, just as the fifth day of the week began. Exactly 3 full nights and 3 full daylight portions later, at the very beginning of the first day of the week, He rose. To fulfill the sign of Jonah, Jesus must have been resurrected between sunset and darkness, when the first day of the week began at sunset.

A unique method of finding the day of the cross.

I started from the first day of the Torah calendar in 1440 BC/BCT: It began on the fifth day of the week, what we would call a Thursday. We know that due to the following verses, about God introducing the Israelites to the concept of the Sabbath… Notice that the ‘groaning’ of the Israelites could only have taken place on the seventh day of the week (God’s week). Once we realize that, we only have to count the days of the week backwards, by sevens, 45 days to Nisan 1, and take note of what day it was.

Here’s the reference passage:

The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt. . . .2In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. 3The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.” 4Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. 5On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days.” …” 22And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 23Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.’ ” 24So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it. 25Then Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.” (Exodus 16:1-5, 22-26)


Interestingly, by this method, we find out that the original Passover lambs were slaughtered on the fourth day of the week, a Wednesday, just like Jesus was 1,470 years later. So, just counting forward in time by 7-day-intervals from the day the first Passover lambs were slaughtered, on the 14th of Nisan 1440 BC/BCT to April of 31 AD, it’s possible to know if the crucifixion could have taken place then. What we must do is check to see if the 14th day of the month falls on a Wednesday; By counting 14 days from each of the first two astronomical sliver moons we check if either one lands on a Wednesday. In the case of no leap year the Crucifixion could have happened on Wednesday April 25, 31 AD. But if there was a leap year, it would’ve happened on Wednesday May 24, 31 AD.

Scrap sheet some calculations

https://alephtav.blog/scrap/

Only on the May 24, 31 AD could the moon rise have coincided with the three hours of darkness. see below

Also, you can verify the moon rise timing with this link:

https://astropixels.com/ephemeris/phasescat/phases0001.html’

May 25 ’31 AD, was the fullest moon; It rose very early at 3:31 PM. The full moon on the day before, May 24, would’ve risen at nearly the same time. It works because it overlaps with the period of the darkened sun. see after the image

Stages of Lunar Eclipse

Of course people should wonder if there really was a blood lunar eclipse.

Although it’s not specifically mentioned in the synoptic Gospels, Peter implied so at Pentecost, when he quoted Joel 2:28-32. I think that prophesy’s mainly for the time of the very end, during the great or greatest tribulations, but many prophesies have smaller fulfillments foreshadowing their ultimate fulfillment. Peter quoted it at Pentecost and that’s a really big deal!

28“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. 30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 32 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

But the sun was darkened for three hours, that’s unquestionable.

It’s useful to remember that the length of an ‘hour’ varied across the seasons on the Torah calendar; Hours were merely 1/12 of the daylight period; ‘Hours’ in May were 1.25 times the length of our standardized hours. So saying it’s the ‘9th hour’, which is sometimes roughly translated as 3PM, is actually occurring – not 9 hours after sunrise – but 11.25 hours after sunrise at 5:15 PM, which actually matches perfectly with our 3:31 PM moon rise. So, what ever the cause of the darkened sun, it overlapped with the rise of the full moon, making it appear red.

4.24 Count, Glory to God

The verse above shows that a single angel can illuminate Earth, so perhaps a single or a group of angels blocked out the sun for 3 long hours. Also, compare to Rev. 9:1-2 when the abyss is opened, smoke will pour out and darken the sun.

Where are the Two Witnesses?

I expect the two olive trees and the two lamp stands are already on Earth . . . But even watchers, many of them think this is a radical idea! So let’s start by examining the Revelation verses very closely.

St. John wrote in the spirit.

Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there. But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it’s been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. Rev. 11:1-2

4.29 Count, Glory to God

“And I will grant to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” Rev. 11:3

Here’s the crux: The Rev. 11:3 word translated as ‘and ‘ probably does not indicate sequence. In fact, it should have been left out of the English. The Greek word translated ‘and’ is ‘kai.’ Kai is defined as: and, ‘and also,’ also, but, even, indeed; But, in the Old Greek passages I’ve studied, periods and commas were non existent. Instead the word kai strings almost every thought together!

Just because the two witnesses were written about in the verse following the verse about the 42 months of gentile trampling, connected by ‘kai,’ which is most likely just serving as a period, doesn’t mean that the two witnesses must start their ministry after the gentiles begin their trampling or even after the temple is built. The trampling is the thing that must begin after there’s a temple built, with both an inner and outer court.

I think God caused the temple to be center stage, before the two witnesses were mentioned, because it was a time traveling vision and as such it was necessary to anchor St. John at his destination point, so he’d know what generation he was witnessing. Nothing could do that better than the temple! If God had started by just saying I will grant my two witnesses, that would not have been an anchor!

That was over 150 yrs. before King Cyrus’ reign. God said that it’s His will for Jerusalem and the Temple to be rebuilt by Cyrus. Read what King Artaxerxes himself said in the following verse recorded in Ezra 7: 21-2 from his decree:

4.37 Count, Glory to God

The question about the first month is whether Ezra was referring to Nisan Spring/Torah calendar or Tishri/Civil calendar. But, there’s no way to know.

That means the 483rd year must be a Sabbatical year. . .

. . . followed by three ‘anointed years’ until the crucifixion of Jesus Christ . . .

. . . followed by the gap.

. . . followed by the final week of years, which must end on a final Sabbatical year.

And, half way through the final Sabbatical year, the final Jubilee Year will begin.

That’s how the 490 year block chart above was organized.

Again, it uses God’s Spring to Winter’s end Torah year structure. Most prophesy watchers use Fall to Summer’s end year structures; But, I’ve surprisingly noticed that useful information can be gleaned from most of the different calendars.

But, I still think God’s important prophesies can more precisely be balanced using the calendars He prescribed, to the best of our understanding of them.

Here’s for encouragement!

Our Father’s Hand/Arm

Our Holy Father’s name in Hebrew has meaning encoded in the letters: Click for partially ordered second draft: YHWH POST




My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.…My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

11.Fig Tree Generation

Jesus Christ, God the Son, instructs us to learn the ‘Parable of the Fig Tree’ in order to know when He will be at the door. (A time indicator relevant to all three crops of souls)

11.0 See the Glory of God, Beyond the Veil

Before I explain the parable, I have to get a few things out of the way:

This part of the Olivet Discourse is one of the areas of the Bible that has been manipulated, such as the word ‘He’ in the above verse 33, which has been translated as ‘it’ in the KJB and NKJV and ‘He’ in all the other ones I know of. I checked and the word in Greek is the same in the original Textus Receptus and the Nestle-Aland manuscripts. It’s really an informal version of the name of God, YHWH – I AM!

ἐστιν (estin)
Verb – Present Indicative Active – 3rd Person Singular
Strong’s 1510: I am, exist. The first person singular present indicative; a prolonged form of a primary and defective verb; I exist.

An artificial page break has been added between verses 35 and 36 making it appear that the ‘no one knows the day and hour’ verse belongs with the artificially delineated passage after it:

And in verse 37, many translations have added the word ‘But’ at the beginning of the verse. That artificially and tightly attaches it to verse 36, leading the novice reader directly into the trap of assuming there is no question as to whether verse 36 is referring to verse 35 or verse 37. . .

Let’s leave that part alone for now and examine the key word ‘generation.’

15Therefore when you shall see ‘the abomination of desolation,’ having been spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place–the one reading, let him understand–then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; the one on the housetop, do not let him come down to take anything out of his house; and the one in the field, do not let him return back to take his cloak. And woe to those having in womb, and to the ones nursing infants in those days! But pray that your flight might not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, and never shall be. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the elect, those days will be shortened. Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘Here,’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have foretold you. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go forth; or ‘Behold, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe. For just as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For wherever the carcass may be, there the vultures will be gathered. And immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’ And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 34And He will send His angels with a great trumpet call, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to the ends thereof. (Matt. 24:15-34)

The ‘1st heaven’ includes our sky, angels will pass through it.

It couldn’t be clearer that Jesus was talking about the final generation.

When was that generation born? When will they by gone? It most likely began on May 14, 1948 when Israel was reborn as a nation in one day.

Who has ever heard of such things?  Who has ever seen things like this?
Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. (Isaiah 66:8)

The term ‘generation’ has been used for ‘life span’ in the Old Testament, but that was merely an observation of the times about 3,000 yrs ago.

The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. Psalms 90:10 BSB

83.8 yrs is the average lifespan in Israel now. May 14, 1948 plus 83yrs = (2031.8) = Oct. 2031. On my Final Week Date Estimate Christ’s gathering of the gleanings of the grape harvest of the Jews landed on April 23, 2031 AD (Nisan 30, 31 ADT). It’s a match!

4.The Countdown

God’s Fig Tree Symbolism:

The Fig Tree symbolism has evolved from representing individual and groups of Israelites to primarily representing ‘National Israel’.

11.2 Fig, Glory God Beyond

Old Testament Examples of Figs for Israelites

In Jeremiah 24, God shows Jeremiah two baskets of figs, one with good figs representing the exiled people of Judah and the other with bad figs representing those remaining in Jerusalem.

11.3 Fig, Glory God Beyond,

The Joel 1:7 metaphor is about a single vine and ‘a single fig tree’ not the multitude of agricultural vines and fig trees growing throughout the land, which were stripped of their bark. What God is referring to as My Fig Tree is unequivocally His people Israel.

11.6 Fig, Glory God Beyond

Why did Jesus curse the fig tree?

11.7 Fig, Glory God Beyond

11.8 Fig, Glory God Beyond

Luke’s version: He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”

11.9 Fig, Glory God Beyond

The true church of Jesus Christ is not grafted on to the Fig Tree of national Israel, but…

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you (the church), although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the other branches.

If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. (Romans 11:11-31)

Good Trees and Good Vines Produce Good Fruit.

11.10 Fig, Glory God Beyond

BUT God also said this:

11.11 Fig, Glory God Beyond

There’s such a thing as Good Grapes of Jewish Israel! The good grapes aren’t the whole nation, they aren’t even whole clusters, they’re found as individual grapes and small clusters. Since they’re are ‘good grapes’ that’s is why I’ve written about the harvest of the remnant Jews as being the Good Grape Harvest.
