It
is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
Proverbs
25:2
This
page has some information which deals with a
date in the future. I am in no way am
saying that something will happen, but am simply
giving possibilities of what could happen based
on patterns of things which have already
occurred. So - as you read this, please
remember anything discussed here which is
in the future is all speculation...AGAIN - it's
all just speculation.
I have many times thought of just deleting the
page due to its speculative nature, but as the
current time-frame it discusses has an exact
biblical parallel right out of the first books
of the bible, and because I found that parallel
while specifically looking for it, I really
think I would be negligent in not at least
posting it and letting you come to
whatever final conclusion you wish on your
own...remembering that every word pertaining to
a future date is 100% speculative. Anyway
- as we are down to the last few days, I
might as well stick it out and then take
whatever blame results if nothing happens.
God bless.
I've
worked the page pretty much around speculation
that the harpazo is probably near and that
October seems like a good time for this to
occur. However, recently I've actually
heard Jewish rabbis discussing this same
time-frame based on something I've had on the
site since I first started it - that they are
under 38 years of punishment for handing
the Temple Mount back to the muslims after
capturing it in 1967. I published this
when I first started the website, and now I've
heard them echo this! It's not "about 38"
years though, but rather 14,000 days exactly as
you will see below. Because this is being
discussed in rabbinic circles, and because there
is a Biblical parallel which I was led to
through research and prayer, I'm pretty sure
something of interest is in store for us in the
near future. However, if this is the
beginning of Daniel's prophecy concerning the
final 7 years of the "70 weeks," that
would mean the "times of the Gentiles"
is over and all attention will again be on
Israel. It wouldn't make sense to
have the Church remain with Israel taking the
world spotlight - but we will have to wait and
see. Certainly all of the Leviticus
23 Feasts which have thus far been
fulfilled have pertained to the Church.
You can read about their fulfillment below as
well.
If
you go to this link (click
here) you can read a classic dated
analysis by E.W. Bullinger which he compiled in
the mid 1800s. His analysis was that
Israel would serve 2520 years of punishment for
disobedience. His calculation on this
point was correct, but his dates were wrong.
The dates were later figured (I believe by Grant
Jeffery) to coincide with both the 1948
rebirth of Israel and the 1967 recapture of
Jerusalem - exactly as prophesied.
However, the unexpected inclusion of an
additional 14,000 day period reflect something
special coming this October - with a biblical
parallel to compliment it! This was
entirely overlooked in the past. As it
seems is always the case - God has hidden much
more than revealed concerning these matters!
As with Mr Bullinger's work, what I have
published here is ultimately unknown and may or
may not come about. To quote Mr. Bullinger:
The
true interpretation will in any case
still remain, and will surely be literally
fulfilled in its own time. The Word of God will
be vindicated; its prophetic truth will be
verified; God Himself will be glorified; and His
people saved with an everlasting salvation.
Out
of all the pages I have on this site, this is
the only one which gives me the slightest bit of
concern and it's the one that I receive the most
response and questioning on. That's why,
again and again, I mention that it's
all just speculation. If absolutely
nothing happens on 4 Oct 2005, I won't be
surprised...but a little disappointed maybe.
This is just a fun page of patterns.
People have been trying to predict the
harpazo/second coming for 2000 years. Even
Paul's letters show a sense of urgency and yet
he died, waiting for that day. Many false
religions have come about by people who made
predictions that didn't come to pass.
Instead of sucking it up and admitting they were
wrong, they tried to justify their stance by
creating falsehoods to cover their shame...for
example the Witnesses and the 7th Day
Adventists. I do not wish to be included
in this type of falsehood and want to make it
clear in advance. Other than that, just
read and enjoy. Charlie.
The
secret things belong to the LORD our God, but
the things revealed belong to us and to our
children forever, that we may follow all the
words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29
As
I was reading the study notes of the Holy Bible,
I read a comment that the Israelites wandered
for 38 years in the desert before reaching the
Promised Land. I checked their logic and
agreed. Numbers
1:1 explains that the first year was
spent receiving the Law. Further, Deuteronomy
2:14 also confirms this time frame.
Thirty-eight
years passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea
until we crossed the Zered Valley. By
then, that entire generation of fighting men had
perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to
them. This got me thinking about
our end times and I realized that it would be 38
years from the recapture of Jerusalem until 4
Oct 2005 - Rosh
Hoshanna. I had been
talking about this date with family and friends
for awhile because of many reasons. I will
give one so you know my train of thought, but I
have many more that point to this date as well.
There will be a Solar Eclipse on 3 Oct
2005 (Erev Rosh Hoshanna) which will
cover the entire mid-east and can be construed
as a sign as mentioned in
Genesis 1:14.
"And
God said, Let there be lights in the firmament
of the heaven to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and
for days, and years"(KJV).
This is not a misinterpretation of the word
"signs." The word here in
Hebrew is "owth" which can mean
either a token, ensign, or miracle as defined in
Strong's Concordance (Hebrew) #226. I have
been reminded by a lady named Jana that
according to the Jewish sages a lunar
eclipse is considered a "bloody moon"
and a solar eclipse is a "sackcloth
sun." Perhaps, as a friend named
Steve has stated, this sackcloth sun is a call
to repentance just as the Ninevites were called
to repentance by Jonah.
Please
remember that Jewish holidays start on the evening
of the day before. In other
words as our days go from midnight to midnight,
Jewish days go from sunset the day before to
sunset. You can check this eclipse on the
US Naval Observatory Web
Site as with all lunar and solar
eclipses. I follow these things because
they are fun to see - just like watching the
Cape Kennedy rockets taking off from my back
yard. This is not astrology, which is
forbidden in the bible. We are not talking
astrology here - foretelling the future by
reading the stars, but an actual solar
occurrence - a sign according to Genesis 1:14. One
such solar occurrence was experienced at
the time of Christ's crucifixion:
From
the sixth hour to the ninth hour darkness came
over all the land. Matthew 27:45
What
this darkness was is not known. Whether it
was some unrecorded stellar body which caused
the sun's darkening, or something which blocked
the sun created by God specifically for
this one occasion. There was a solar
eclipse on 19 March 0033, but I believe this was
the Passover one year after Christ's
crucifixion. Regardless, this darkening
was a clear sign.
Others
are predicted by Christ in the end-times:
Immediately
after the distress of those days
" 'the sun will be
darkened,
and
the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the
sky,
and
the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
Matthew 24:29
These
occurrences, and others in the Holy Bible, are
clearly marked by unusual solar happenings.
God held the sun still for Joshua and he moved
it back up the steps for Hezekiah. Clearly
signs in the sun and moon are indicators of
divine happenings.
I
then was alerted by John
Zachary that it is 14,000 days from
the time of Jesus' last week until the
destruction of Jerusalem - AD32 - AD70.
The date of AD32 cannot be documented
historically, but it has been published as the
probable year this occurred. It also fits
with the calculation published by Sir Robert
Anderson - 6 Apr 0032 being the date Christ
rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and was hailed Messiah.
Going to TIMEANDDATE.COM
, you can put the dates into the
computer to verify any duration exactly - you
can check for yourself as it is very easy to
use. Here's what I was surprised to find:
1st
-
Jerusalem recaptured 7 Jun 1967 until
Rosh Hoshanna 4 OCT 2005 = 38.8 years,
or 14000
days EXACTLY.
2nd -
(Don't
get frustrated...this will be confusing so I
developed a simpler method which I give later
below, but because I spent so much time
researching all this, I hate to delete it!!!)
Numbers
33:3 says that the Israelites left Egypt
on the 15th day of the
1st month - DAY
15
Numbers
10:11 says that they left Sinai on the
20th day of the 2nd month
of the 2nd year - Calendar Year = 360 days, add
30+20 = 360+50 = 410 (minus NU
33:3 15 days = 395) - DAY
395
Joshua
4:19 says the children of Israel entered
the Promised Land on the 10th day of the 1st
month of the 41st year (for 41st year see Dt
1:3.) Calendar Year 360x40 =
14400+10 = 14410 (minus NU
33:3 15 days = 14395) - DAY
14395
Subtract
395 (Numbers
10:11 date) from 14395 (Entering the
Promised Land) and you have 14000
days of wandering in wilderness
after receiving the Law and departing the area
of Sinai until, on that day, they entered the
Promised Land. This is not finagling
the numbers. It is documented history as
outlined in scripture and you can very easily
figure it out yourself by following what I have
outlined here.
-----
Here's
an easier way to come to the same result.
Go to Numbers
10:11,12
again:
On
the twentieth day of the second month of the
second year, the cloud lifted from above the
tabernacle of the Testimony. Then the
Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and
traveled from place to place until the cloud
came to rest in the Desert of Paran.
1
Hebrew year = 360 days. Now add 1 month at
30 days. Now add 20th day of 2nd month.
360+30+20
= 410
Next
read Joshua
4:19:
On
the tenth day of the first month the people went
up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the
eastern border of Jericho.
This
same day they crossed the Jordan. It was
the beginning of the 41st year.
40 years
= 14400. Now add 10th day of first month.
14400+10 = 14410.
Lastly,
subtract their starting day. 14410-410=14000.
This
is a simplified version of my first
explanation and eliminates the crossing of the
red sea only. It doesn't change the
calculation. And
there it is, hidden for 3500 years right in open
text! How
glorious is our Creator and how He reveals the
hidden things to mortal man!
------------------
As
you can see we have 14000
days exactly from Moses and
the Israelites receiving the law and departing
Mt. Sinai until entering the Promised Land.
We have 14000
days exactly from Recapture of
Jerusalem until the start of Rosh Hoshanna 2005.
All estimates are that it is a 14,000
day period from the week before the
Resurrection, when Christ was hailed Messiah, to
the destruction of Jerusalem as well. It
is 38.8 year period if you use the presumed date
of AD32. (Sunday 6 Apr 0032 - Saturday 5
Aug 0070 is 14000
days exactly. - Note that
during this time there is a one-day skip in
the Julian calendar, otherwise it would read
incorrectly.)
Because
of these numbers, I would conclude that a
"generation" in the Holy Bible would
be 38.8 Hebrew years, or 14,000
days.
What
could be the significance of this? Well,
the Israelites that saw God's glory on Mt. Sinai
lacked the faith to go in and take possession of
the Promised Land: Nevertheless,
as surely as I live and as surely as the glory
of the LORD fills the whole earth, not one of
the men who saw my glory and the miraculous
signs I performed in Egypt and in the desert but
who disobeyed me and tested me ten times-not one
of them will ever see the land I promised on
oath to their forefathers. No one who has
treated me with contempt will ever see it.
Numbers 14:21-23. Because
of this God made them wander aimlessly in the
wilderness until that generation had perished.
Again, they saw God's glory in the physical
manifestation of Christ Jesus. They
rejected him as their King and were dispersed
14,000 days or 38.8 years later (if this date is
the correct date for the resurrection.)
Then again in 1967, the Israeli people saw
God's glory demonstrated as he handed them over
their promised possession of Jerusalem -
including the gem on the crown - the Temple
Mount. This battle was won despite
overwhelming odds. But instead of
accepting control of the Mount and having
confidence in God to protect them and their
regained land, the Temple Mount was handed back
to their enemies. This showed a lack of
faith on their part and has resulted, I believe, in
another 38.8 year generation to work through,
ending on Rosh Hoshanna 2005.
---------
At
this point, I’d like to insert a parallel
right from Scripture containing another 38-year
period and some analysis.
This is a compilation of information sent
from two separate people, Stuart Cobb and Jim
Bramlett.
This is concerning the man at the pool of
Bethesda in John
5. He
was an invalid for 38 years and then was healed
by Christ.
The invalid would be a picture of
Israel’s spiritual condition and the healing
is their restoration after 38 years (which would
be a picture of the 38 years we are now
in.) The
water symbolizes the Word of God.
The five covered colonnades are a picture
of grace – the number 5.
All this points to God’s grace in
healing the Jewish people through the Word of
Christ after these extra 38 years just as Jesus healed this man and made him whole.
Interestingly enough another parallel is
the healing of the woman with an issue of blood
which lasted 12 years (Matthew
9.)
Contrast this with Lamentations
1:17 which says
…,that
his adversaries should be round about
him: Jerusalem
is a menstruous woman among them. (KJV)
In 1993 Rabin and Arafat signed the Oslo
Accords. It
is a 12-year period from that disaster until
2005. As
the woman was healed after 12 years, it is
possible this 12-year period is also a picture
of healing.
---------
As
an aside - an interesting occurrence in the
bible gives even greater insight into the
significance of the number 38.8. We have
been discussing signs in the sky in relation to
the abovementioned incidents. Isaiah
38:8 says:
I
will make the shadow cast by the sun go
back the ten steps it has gone down on the
stairway of Ahaz.' "So the sunlight
went back the ten steps it had gone down.
This was characterized by the same Hebrew word
mentioned above "owth."
----------
The
bible says in Ecclesiastes
1:9 "What has been will be again, what has
been done will be done again; there is nothing
new under the sun." I won't
try to manipulate the situation here, or make a
firm prediction of the future.
However, it seems rather unlikely that this
14,000 day duration is without consequence. One
other important event which happened on
Rosh Hoshanna as mentioned in the bible is this:
"On the first day of the seventh month they
began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD,
though the foundation of the LORD's temple had
not yet been laid." Ezra 3:6. One
final point on this issue is: If you take
the two 14,000 day periods and divide them by
360 (the number of days in the Hebrew calendar)
you get 28,000/360 = 77.7777777777777777
etc forever. If in fact the Jews as
a nation rejected their Messiah between
AD32 and AD70 and again from 1967-2005, we could
have a fulfillment of what Jesus said in Matthew
18:22 when asked how many times we should
forgive our brother. His answer was "I
tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven
times." Again,
here is another peculiarity of a generation
possibly being 14,000 days from my friend in
Christ Stuart Cobb: Matthew
1:17 says: Thus
there were fourteen generations in all from
Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the
exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the
exile to the Christ. If you
multiply 14 x 14000 you get 196000. Divide
that by 360 (days in a Hebrew year) =
544.4444444etc. Then divide that by 7 =
77.7777777777777777777777etc. So 77.77
weeks of years equals a 14,000 day generation x
14 generations. As Stuart points out, it
is no coincidence that the three prophetic
14000-day generations I mention above
mirror these 3 14-generations in Matthew.
------------------
Here's
another fun pattern from a reader of this site:
14000
divided by 777 = 18.018018018018-, etc
6+6+6=18
14000
divided by 666 = 21.021021021021-, etc 7+7+7=21
His
analysis: The arrival of the perfect G-d
(777) brings the world under the subjection of
the Beast at the harpazo. And the arrival
of the Beast (666) is here because of the elect
of G-d have been taken. Credit to Barry G.
------------------
18
July 2005 - I received this via email and
originated from someone named Nate. The
Hebrew year 5766 = 5 x 7 x 6 x 6 = 1260.
This corresponds with the first 3 1/2 years of
tribulation in Revelation
11:3. That year is commonly called
2006, but not coincidentally it actually begins
on .... Rosh Hoshanna of 2005!
-------------------
20
July 2005 - Here's another one of those
tidbits I totally overlooked and yet is quite
fascinating. The day Jerusalem was
recaptured was 7 Jun 1967. Interestingly,
turned into numbers you get 6/7/67. This
was provided by Greg Herrin and he pointed out
it shows that the number falls short of the
number 7 or "completion/perfection."
Here the Jewish nation won back the Temple mount
which, if kept, would have allowed the
rebuilding of the Temple and the end of the
times of the Gentiles, but because they
"fell short" the time of the Gentiles
has been extended.
-------------------
Also,
there were two people named Lamech in the book
of Genesis, one a descendant of Cain and one a
descendant of Seth. Both of these people
had interesting parallels concerning the number
7.
If
Cain is avenged seven times,
then Lamech seventy-seven times. Genesis
4:24
Altogether,
Lamech lived 777 years, and then he died.
Genesis 5:31
The
first of these deals with punishment (Cain's
descendant). The second indicates the age
of Seth's descendant at his death.
Interestingly, the flood started this same year. Isn't this
fun! Just a thought that maybe this is a
picture of a coming period of tribulation.
Remember Ecclesiastes
1:9 "What has been will be again, what has
been done will be done again; there is nothing
new under the sun."
Please
note that this countdown timer is set to US time
and Israel is a seven hours before my home
in (Sunny) Sarasota, Florida. If you have
access to a timer which will count Jerusalem
time, please email me the program and I will
incorporate it also. Thank you.
Because
of the above, the indications based on a 14000
day time-frame are that something fun (in
an exciting way) may happen on 3/4 Oct
2005. However, if I'm wrong, nothing will
happen and you will have wasted all this time
reading this article.
As
Rosh Hoshanna is the next of the Lord's
festivals from Leviticus
23 to be fulfilled, I really believe we
may have an exciting Rosh Hoshanna in 2005.
Here is a quick recap of the other feasts which
have already had their prophetic fulfillment:
Sabbath
- Leviticus
23:3 - Christ is our Sabbath Rest.
Passover
and Unleavened Bread - Leviticus
23:4 - Christ was our Passover Lamb,
sacrificed on the exact day of Passover for our
sins! He is our Unleavened Bread (Afikomen).
He was found without sin and was hidden in the
grave on the exact day of the feast!
Firstfruits
- Leviticus
23:9 - Christ was resurrected as the
Firstfruits of those risen from the
dead on the exact day of the feast!
Feast
of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost) -
Leviticus
23:15 - The Holy Spirit was poured out on
the exact day of the feast!
These
prophetic feasts were fulfilled to the day as
God planned! The next feast to be
fulfilled in the prophetic calendar is Rosh
Hoshanna - the Feast of Trumpets.
This feast comes at the end of the Jewish year
and we are certainly coming to the end of the
age.....get ready! Many biblical scholars
believe the harpazo of the church will occur on
this date. I will not say this is correct,
nor will I deny it. However, I will give
information below which points to this to back
up their assertion. Remember this though -
I could easily pick clues that point to a
harpazo while you're reading this! So
don't get all excited and stop making plans for
the future. This is just an exercise in
fun, okay!
First, there
is a teaching which states that Rosh
Hoshanna is also known as Yom HaKeseh - the
Day of the Hiding - for reasons concerning
judgment. Because of this, the
Jewish people never said when the day of Rosh
Hoshanna was; they simply said, "Of that
day and hour no one knows, only the
Father." One reason given to discount
that the resurrection of the dead and the
harpazo could be pinpointed as occurring on Rosh
Hoshanna is that Jesus said in Matthew
24:36 “No
one knows about that day or hour, not even the
angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the
Father." However,
as Rosh Hoshanna was understood to be the hidden
day, this statement by Jesus is actually
believed to be a stylistic expression for it.
Therefore, it is the only day in the whole year
that would properly define this terminology.
Next,
the muslim month of ramadan also starts
this year on 4 Oct 2005. This is
particularly disconcerting when you consider
that they have been undermining the Temple Mount
in Jerusalem for years to build a mosque. With
the addition of 200,000 or more people on top of
this structure, it may not be able to
handle the immense weight. A possible
prophetic scenario comes directly from Joshua
6:5 - When
you hear them sound a long blast on the
trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout,
then the wall of the city will collapse and the
people will go up, every man straight in. -
As this is the Feast of Trumpets, this really
has possible prophetic ramifications! The
Jews will certainly be blamed for anything that
happens. It would be a major catastrophe
to say the least. It is just too
coincidental (and I don't believe in them) that
this start of ramadan matches our other
calculations so well. I thank Stuart
Cobbs for the nifty comparison from Joshua
6:5.
Third, if you go from the supposed time of AD32
for Christ's passion week, that would make the
day the Holy Spirit was poured out on the
first Pentecost on 2 Jun 32 - see Acts
2:1. Once again - putting this day
into the computer and adding 720720
days (exactly
2002 Hebrew years,) you come up to
4 September 2005. This is the first day of
the month Elul and exactly 30 days prior to Rosh
Hoshanna! This is significant because
during this month the Shofar (trumpet) is
blown every day except the Sabbath (Saturday)
and the last day of the month. This month
is basically a call to repentance before the
"Days of Awe" which could be a picture
of the coming tribulation. It's
interesting that the last day when they don't
blow the shofar closely resembles the verse in Revelation
8:1: When he opened the seventh
seal, there was silence in heaven for about half
an hour.
Basically, it seems
like a quiet time of preparation for what is to
come. Now, read the following passage from
1
Corinthians
remembering that this is ALL speculation:
Listen,
I tell you a mystery: We will not all
sleep, but we will all be changed-- in a flash,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be
raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
1 Corinthians
15:51-52
I've heard a million possibilities for what
"the last trumpet" means. Could
it mean the last trumpet on Rosh Hoshanna coming
at the end of the month Elul?? I don't
know, and I just thought the 720720
day interval was too unusual to pass up!

29
June 2005 - I was asked today by a
wonderful gentelman named Jay about the
recovering of the Ark of the Covenant. In
several circles, it has been published that the
Ark would be found in 2005. This is my
response to the question - If you go to this
link you will see that the Ark
is a picture of Christ. This is a very
short description, but books have been written
about its parallel to Christ. Jeremiah
said the Ark would not be mentioned again "In
those days, when your numbers have increased
greatly in the land," declares the LORD,
"men will no longer say, 'The ark of the
covenant of the LORD.' It will never enter their
minds or be remembered; it will not be missed,
nor will another one be made."
Jeremiah 3:16. So how can the two
be reconciled? I believe that at the end
of this 38 year period as outlined on this
page, Christ will be revealed. The Ark was
a picture of Christ and now the true Ark will be
revealed to the 144,000. This is also why Haggai
2:9 says -"The
glory of this present house will be greater than
the glory of the former house," says the
LORD Almighty. "And in this place I
will grant peace,' declares the LORD
Almighty." The Ark was never
in the second temple and yet this was God's
promise. It was fulfilled though the day
Jesus Christ stepped into the Temple. God
visited this world and all His glory was
revealed at that time! As I always say, I
could be totally wrong on this analysis, but it
does reconcile the two accounts. Further,
this explains why the Ark was directly in the
middle of the camp of Israel in the wilderness
as laid out on my page A
Sign in the Desert. We'll see.
--------------
As an aside to my 720720 day calculation, I
read this as published by Jack Kinsella of
the Omega
Letter - According to Bishop
Ussher, the last time Israel marked its
God-mandated Jubilee Year was the Year 4030 from
the date of Creation, which would correspond to
our AD 26. Using Ussher's calculations,
therefore, the Year 2005 dates six thousand and
nine years forward from the day of Creation. This
adds additional confirmation that we are
anywhere from 3 years before to nine years into
Hosea's "third day" - Hosea
6:2 - the 12 year variance is based
on differences in calendars used at various
times of history. See Leviticus
25 for an explanation of the Year of
Jubilee. Cardinal Ussher compiled his work
in the 1600's and Mr Kinsella is alive and
active today.

5
July 2005 - Here is a fun pattern from a
reader in Germany, Friedrich Wenz.
Now, before I give it, I want you to understand
that no matter how funny it sounds to you,
nothing is outside of the providence of God.
So, he could even use something as interesting
as this as a pattern:
The Airbus A380 was inaugurated with 555
seats (grace/grace/grace) on 27 April of
this year. Now think like a numbers guy
for a minute: A 38 0 "pronounced
A-three eight-Oh". A 888 O.
Jesus' number in Greek gema-tria is 888.
Alpha 888 Omega. As I said, it is
interesting...mein freund Friederich - er ist on
another "plane" of thought! I
will send you to "click
here" so that you can read some
of what he has put out. You can click
between his links and get into discussions
with him - he has an interesting look at numbers
and if you speak German, you can go to another
site of his here.

July 2005 - Another interesting thought
comes from an RN named Kim (the Lord gives
us all different gifts and yet the same Spirit!)
She read an analysis that the
Leviticus 23 Feasts relate to a baby
growing in a mother's womb.
Interestingly, the period of gestation is
approximately 38.8 weeks! Also, in 2005 it
is very close to 38.8 weeks from Jan 1st to the
time period we are discussing. Her
calculation is that 28 September will be
271 days.
-------------
Remember, let's not try to predict the
future, and - again -I'm not predicting the
harpazo of the church at this time frame. This
is one of a myriad of possibilities based on
what it says in Ecclesiastes
about things repeating themselves. And to
add to the fun, here are more reasons that
it's a possibility:
First, at the end of the 14000 days in the
Tanakh (the Old Testament), the Israelites were
taken "into the promised land."
Second, it was immediately followed by 7 years
of war...(a picture of the coming
tribulation?) Next, if it is 2002 years
until 3/4 Sep of 2005 from the birthday of the
Church Age, we could add on 25 days to this for
fun. Here's why - So
the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of
Elul, in fifty-two days. Nehemiah 6:15. This
may be a picture of the completion of the
Church. This is the only time the month
Elul
is mentioned in the whole Holy Bible.
Wouldn't it be fun to think it's prophetic
significance is to be fulfilled at this same
time. Now read this from Genesis
7:4 and then Genesis
7:16.
Seven
days from now I will send rain on the earth for
forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe
from the face of the earth every living creature
I have made.
The
animals going in were male and female of every
living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then
the LORD shut him in.
So Noah was told to go into the ark.
They sat there for 7 days with the door open.
The way was open for any person to just walk in
and join them. At the end of 7 days, the
LORD himself closed the door. If we take
25 Elul as the completion of the wall in
Nehemiah's time as a picture of the church's
completion, and then a 7 day grace period we
come up with the following:
25 Elul - Day 1
26 Elul - Day 2
27 Elul - Day 3
28 Elul - Day 4
29 Elul - Day 5
30 Elul - Day 6
Rosh Hoshanna - 7th Day (time to close the
door?)
This calculation came from using the Jewish
calendar at Hebcal.com. Various calendars
will place Elul with 29 or 30 days. I have
used this calendar faithfully for all of my
studies and it places the 25th of Elul on 28
September and Rosh Hoshanna at 4 Oct. This
is a 7 day period as I first (and still)
calculate.
After mentioning the 25th of Elul, the next
date mentioned in Nehemiah
is Rosh Hoshanna - So
on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the
priest brought the Law before the assembly,
which was made up of men and women and all who
were able to understand. Nehemiah 8:2.
If the pattern were to follow, this could
be a picture of the end of the Age of Grace and
the beginning of judgment of the Law - if this
is correct, now is the time to decide under
which you will be judged.
A few other items which Jewish tradition says
occurred on Rosh Hoshanna - Adam was created;
the flood waters dried up; Enoch was harpazod;
Sara, Rachel and Samuel were all conceived;
Egyptian slavery of the Hebrews ended; Job
contracted leprosy. The one about Enoch is
an eye-opener, eh? So many parallells....
Another very interesting point is that 4
October 2005 is a Tuesday, corresponding to the
Hebrew letter Dalet.
In Hebrew, the word Dalet means
"door." Jesus is the Door - John
10:7. The door stands in the
opening of the House, the Beit.
The dalet is also the first letter of the word
"dirah" which means dwelling place.
This follows Monday - the Hebrew letter Gimel.
This is derived from the Hebrew word "gemul",
which in Hebrew means both the giving of a
reward and the giving of punishment. To
read my analysis of the significance of the
"door", kindly rush to my page
entitled (not coincidently) The
Door. A few points here which
totally escaped me are that the letter
Dalet is also used as the number 4 in Hebrew.
Now look at this verse from Matthew
24:33 - So
likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is near, even at the doors. Notices
the plural "doors." This is
correctly translated in the plural.
The connection seems clear as we are talking
about 4 October and Dalet equals 4 - a pair of
doors. If it weren't for the incredibly
handsome Mark Confer, these two points would
have been entirely overlooked.

21
July 2005 - I received this today from
Penny in the UK. Really interesting...
The entire story can be read at this
link. There is a tradition of
celebrating a wedding outside under the stars,
which serve as a reminder of God's promise to
Abraham that his progeny would be as numerous as
"the stars of heaven." In addition,
Tuesday is considered an especially auspicious
day because in the account of Creation (Genesis,
chapter 1), we read ki tov ("it is
good") twice on the third day.
Again, I'd like to reiterate,,,,all of this
is all speculation. Christ isn't going to
come back on our timetable, but His. I
find these things fun and challenging.
Beyond this, don't try to read anymore into
these times and dates than a mental exercise.
As your read the bible, look for patterns
and follow biblical clues concerning the times
we live in. When Daniel and Ezekiel made
their prophecies concerning Christ and Israel,
they gave us exact dates. These came to
fulfillment exactly as the Holy Bible said
they would. The clues were all there, but
the windscreen was foggy. Once the
occurrences happened, the rear-view mirror
became as clear as crystal. It's that way
with us. We can only see the clues and
search through the Word with wonder! How
do we know there are still hidden mysteries and
that anyone who claims to have all the knowledge
is a blow-hard? Read the following from
the book of Revelation:
But
in the days when the seventh angel is about to
sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be
accomplished, just as he announced to his
servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7
This is telling us we still have a mystery
not yet revealed to us:
The
secret things belong to the LORD our God, but
the things revealed belong to us and to our
children forever, that we may follow all the
words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29
While reading the book of Luke in Greek (my
Greek is terrible!) I noticed something that I
never noticed in an English translation. When
these things begin to take place, stand up and
lift up your heads, because your redemption is
drawing near. Luke 21:28 and then For
it will come upon all those who live on the face
of the whole earth. Luke 21:35
First it says in Luke
21:28 "stand up" - Greek
anakupto. But then in Luke
21:35 the Greek word kathemenous is used.
This is plural for "sitting."
It is saying "those sitting" on the
face of the earth. So you need to decide,
are you going to stand and watch for the Lord's
coming, or are you going to be sitting,
drinking, and being merry?
Here
are a few other Strong Numbers for you to
consider. What I've done is to equate the
Strong # with the day of the Hebrew year.
This is just an exercise in fun. Christ
could return tonight, so don't wait for the
corresponding day to be ready:
#350 (Greek) Anakrino-To examine, judge.
10 days before Rosh Hoshanna. If you are
being examined, are you going to pass the test
and be ready for Christ's return?
#351 (Greek) Anakrisis-Examination. 9
days to go. This is a legal term, a
preliminary examination to get info for the
judges. Are you going to be ready for your
examination?
#352 - (Greek) Anakupto-Stand up. 8
days to go. Are you up and looking for
your Savior?
#353 - (Greek) Analambano-To take up, raise.
7 days to go. Here's how it's used in the
Holy Bible:
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was
taken up into heaven and he sat at the right
hand of God. Mark 16:19
#354 - (Greek) Analepsis-Taking up. 6
days to go.
#359 - (Greek) Analusis-Departure.
2 days to go. For
I am already being poured out like a drink
offering, and the time has come for my
departure. 2 Timothy 4:6.
#360 (Greek) Analuo- To return, to
depart. 3 October will be the 360th day of
the Hebrew year. Here are the two
times this word is used (as underlined):
Be
dressed ready for service and keep your lamps
burning, like men waiting for their master to return
from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes
and knocks they can immediately open the door
for him. Luke 12:35-36
I
am torn between the two: I desire to depart
and be with Christ, which is better by far; but
it is more necessary for you that I remain in
the body. Philippians 1:23, 24
#278. (Greek) Ametameletos - Without
repentance, not to be repented of. 5
October will be the 278th day of the Julian
calendar. Here is an example from Holy
Scripture (as underlined):
For
godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not
to be repented of: but the sorrow of the
world worketh death. 2 Chronicles 7:10
(KJV)
Now about date setting for the harpazo or any
other occurrence. I have heard some highly
respected Christians totally discount the
harpazo. I have heard others say yes there
will be a harpazo but it will be
post-tribulation, or mid-tribulation.
Others have said it is blasphemy to look for a
specific date for the harpazo. Let's think
about this reasonably. If the harpazo is
post or mid tribulation, you have set definite
guidelines concerning the date - it has to be
within a set period. If it is believed by
theologians to be on Rosh Hoshanna (regardless
of pre/mid/post tribulation,) then you have
picked a day - again setting exact guidelines.
It just becomes a matter of which Rosh Hoshanna.
Seven times it is said that the times will come
like a thief - twice in parables (Matthew
and Luke),
twice in 1
Thessalonians, once in 1
Peter, and twice in Revelation.
However, the example in 1
Thessalonians 5:4 says it this
way: But
you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this
day should surprise you like a thief.
If we are not to be surprised, then we should
have an inkling of the approximate time.
Further, in Mark
13:37 it says: What
I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!
Therefore, we should do just that. I am
not writing this page in denial of what it says
in Mark
13:32 - No one knows about that day or hour, not
even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only
the Father. Rather, I have simply
looked for a pattern and laid it out for what
it's worth. Even if the harpazo happens at
Rosh Hoshanna of a given year, it could be over
a three day time frame - this year between 3-5
October. Clearly, we can never know the
day or hour, even if this analysis is the
correct fulfillment of this feast. Let's
just wait and see what happens!
Also, please don't try to read anything more
into this than a guy just looking for something
fun to do. Look for parallels yourself and
have fun at it, but we are not here to predict
the future. I'm just looking for a pattern
to what is already laid out in the first several
books of the bible and how it could fit with the
scholarly opinion that Rosh Hoshanna will be
when the harpazo occurs...this is my fun as I'm
not big on sports and I don't have cable TV!
Glory
to God in the highest for his giving us fun
things to do until He returns for his people!
I
have no problem with anyone using this
information for their own training, website,
etc., however, I would like you to link back to
my site or acknowledge where you obtained the
information. Thank you.
Note:
I reference John Zachary who came up with
this conclusion on 14,000 day periods other
than the one in the Holy Bible. He
found these two patterns in 1986 while I was
still serving our county in Japan and long
before I met Christ. His calculation from
Jesus until the destruction of Jerusalem aided
me significantly. However, he was lacking
the connection to the Old Testament. You
can read Mr. Zachary's analysis by clicking
here. This site contains
non-biblical information, which I don't hold to,
but his purpose is sound. He is attempting
to evangelize those who are misled by the occult
or other cults. Because of these efforts,
I am providing the link.
