‘I will
ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper,
that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of
truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does
not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He
abides with you and will be in you. I will not leave you
as orphans; I will come to you. After a little while the
world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me;
because I live, you will live also. In that day you will
know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in
you. He who has My commandments and keeps them is the
one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by
My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself
to him.’ –John 14:16-21
The
purpose of this study is to ascertain the prophetic
pattern of the notion of 7’s, Biblically speaking as it
relates to the Jewish year of 5-777 or 2017-18. The 7, 70,
777 numerical factors will be compared to the 7 Feast of
YHVH for possible prophetic patterns and correlations with
respect to a possible convergence in the Jewish year of
5-777 that for several possible reasons will attempt to be
explained. The context and backdrop of such a study will
be considered speculation to see if such variables might
present numerical clues as to when the prophetic
parenthetical age of ‘Pentecost’ will conclude.
This Pentecostal period is consisting of the Church
Age and appears to be the ‘Servant Stem’ or middle
branch in the Jewish menorah pattern typology. This
menorah pattern is consisting of an encrypted 7-7-7
numerical and prophetic 7 day pattern of Passover,
Pentecost and Sukkot that this study suggests also has the
key to Jesus’ 1st coming, present tense
‘coming’ and when He will be coming. This study considers
that this Pentecostal period of a 7x7+1 or ‘50’
coefficient has to do with not only its beginning but also
the conclusion of the Church Age. This ‘Age’ has
been in the present tense operation in YHVH’s
Plan of Redemption and implementation since the 1st
Pentecost.
The purpose of such a Pentecostal intermission,
prophetically has been to graft-in the Gentiles into the
whole comprehensive
Plan of Redemption founded on the work of the
Servant of YHVH, Jesus. It is ultimately the prophetic
pattern that is Jesus; as the ‘Menorah’, the ‘Vine’, and
the ‘Light’, etc. This prophetic ‘intermission’ of YHVH’s
dealings with the Gentiles is predicated on the notion
that Israel’s total restoration has been on ‘hold’ and is
also yet to be accomplished but subject first to the
completion of the ‘Times of the Gentiles be
fulfilled.’ This prophetic 7x7+1 (50) Pentecostal
intermission was initiated due to Israel’s rejection of
Jesus as the Messiah. This study asks, could the
conclusion of such a Pentecostal period of time culminate
in the same sequence of time as when it began, on a
Pentecost feast yet to be determined and perhaps on a year
that also has the 7-7-7 numerical coefficient as the
menorah pattern?
The Prophetic Patterns
Since
the Bible has been written, many have attempted over the
centuries to decipher its many numerical values and
ascribe to them some concrete extrapolation in time and
space. Most notably are those numerical coefficients found
in the books such as Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation and
with numbers such as 1260, 1335, 1290, 153, 70 etc. Such
studies as this one with the menorah pattern of YHVH’s
Feast is not novel but what is interesting is the year,
5-777 is. Perhaps there could be a prophetic conjunction
or synchronization of some aspect pertaining to its
uniqueness of having the 7-7-7 factor. Nonetheless, the
evidence presented in this study for a possible year
convergence and correlation to 5-777 will be pegged to the
7-fold Feasts of YHVH. It is correlating to the menorah
pattern typology of 7-7-7 already familiar within the
prophecy community.
Can
it be the case that the Pentecost period of the Gentile
time will conclude with such a point in time that could
very well it be accented by not only a Pentecost feast but
the Rapture of the Bride of Christ? This study
will also ascertain based on these same numerical and
Biblical ‘7’ templates, the possible pattern thus of what
prophetic Feast Jesus would then correlate to His 2nd
coming as was with His 1st visitation. Can
there be a possible correlation based on what prophetic
‘Feast’ timeframe Jesus could and/or would be literally
returning based on the study of the variables of the 7-7-7
sequence of the menorah pattern template? The notion of
the menorah numerical factors has to do with the 3
prophetic numerical coefficient of 7s that occurred during
the 1st portion or the
3 Spring Feasts.
The
subsequent ‘7’ pattern occurred and still is with the
7-Church Age Pentecostal period as it is the
present prophetic state of affairs. After such time, then
the next ‘7’ variable will have to do with the 7-year
Tribulation to come before the last half of the menorah
pattern of 7s are initiated. Based on the menorah pattern,
it will only be initiated by Jesus’ literal 2nd
coming, at Rosh HaShanah. This study will agree with the
theological position and interpretation that the 7-year
Tribulation period will occur in-between the end of the
Church Age period and the beginning of the last
prophetic variable of the ‘7s’ pattern. This last
numerical value has to do with the 2nd portion
of the
3 Fall Feasts of YHVH and mirrors the 1st
3 Spring Feasts. It is the Passover feast that initiates
the 7-7-7 menorah template as it has a duration of a week
or 7 days. The middle or
Servant Stem feast correlates to Pentecost with the
7-fold Church Age.
This
7x7 factor of the middle feast, Pentecost is mirroring the
2 respected sides of the menorah pattern prophetically.
Thus, the last Feast, that of Sukkot lasts 7 days as does
Passover; the end is as the beginning and the beginning is
as the end, etc. This study stipulates that
Pentecost, the current and interim ‘Feast’ will begin and
end in such a prophetic fashion, perhaps. As the 1st
3 Spring Feasts were literally fulfilled by
Jesus Christ at His 1st coming, thus the last
3 Fall Feast will also be literally fulfilled by
His 2nd coming. This stipulation is not new or original as
most if not all in the Biblical prophecy community would
at least agree with this point. However, the question
remains, at what point in time and what specific sequence?
This would suggest that as Jesus came on Passover to
initiate and fulfill the pattern, so too would He at Rosh
HaShanah that begins the 2nd half of the
menorah pattern sequence of prophetic Feast typologies.
The conventional argument is that Rosh HaShanah will be
the point or nexus of the Rapture of the
Bride of Christ. This study will argue that based
on the Biblical patterns of 7’s and 7-7-7, the feast of
Rosh HaShanah could actually correlate to the 2nd
coming of Jesus. It would be more likely that based on the
menorah pattern, the Rapture of the Bride of Christ would
occur at a Pentecost timeframe. Nonetheless, this study
will thus insinuate that Jesus, according to the patterns
of 7 or the prophetic
Creation Week will return at some appointed Rosh
HaShanah future date. This is speculated to be at some
point yet to be determined but the question is posed,
could the 7-7-7 variable both seen in the menorah pattern
typology have something to do with the year 5-777?
In
fact, there are some very eerie numerical associations
pegged to 5777 or 2017-18. For example, some have
calculated the
Gematria numerical value of Donald Trump’s number
based on his birth. Others have calculated a 7 and
70 coefficient based on his inaugural date. What is also
very interesting is that from the 1st day after
the inauguration day of the 45th U.S. President
on January 20, 2017 to the Great American Eclipse
that ‘divides’ the nation on August 21, 2017 is exactly 7
months. The following are some examples of the
significance of the base number 7. The number 7 speaks of
a completed time, a ‘perfection’ and lucky number.
7 words

7-7-7 factor of the 28 letters in the 1st

7 blessings in a Jewish wedding
The 7-7-7 Menorah Pattern (5-777?)
Passover = 7 days
Pentecost = 7x7 or 49 years
Sukkot = 7 days
These
interestingly are the 3 Feasts of YHVH that were/are
mandatory for every Jewish male of military age to have
attended the Feast in Jerusalem. The following is the
suggested prophetic menorah pattern of YHVH’s feasts
that incorporate the 7-7-7 pattern this study suggests
could be pegged to the year 5-777 with respect to the
end of the Pentecostal period.

Why
is the number 7 very unique in the Bible of all the base
10 numbers used? There are obviously other prophetic
patterns with other numbers. According to science and
metaphysics, the 1st 6 dimensions are bound
within time and space or are of the material construct. It
is at the 7th dimension that such a construct
steps into the immaterial or the spiritual that is eternal
or timeless. This study will assume the following
suppositions to be given for the sake of time as such have
been presented in previous studies. This will set the time
benchmark for analyzing the
Church Age period. This study takes the position
that Jesus was crucified on April 13, 32 AD, assuming His
age was 33 and His birth and death were marked by
astronomical alignments, etc.
The understanding of the study will suppose that Jesus was
born on September 11, -3 BC. This timeframe is reminiscent
even as the type of King David whom Jesus is a direct
descendant and who one day will sit on the
Throne of David on Earth at His 2nd
coming. In I
Kings 2:11 it states that King David ‘reigned 7 years in
Hebron, and 33 years in Jerusalem, etc. The
next supposition is that based on such a timeline,
Pentecost occurred on the 50th day, which would correlate
to June 1, 32 AD. The following will spell-out the
template and possible correlations to 5-777.

(33

(50th
day)
(7-fold Church Age)
This
study supposes that the
Church Age is the present state of YHVH’s
dispensation prophetically concerning the
Plan of Redemption and it will conclude as a
‘harvest’ type to culminate in the resurrection and
Rapture of the
Bride of Christ. Many understand also that the Church
Age period corresponds to the 4th feast of YHVH.
However, this study suggests that what that means is that
the
7-Church Age Period will not end at a corresponding
Rosh HaShanah 5th arm of the menorah typology. The basic
prophetic template concerning the menorah pattern and the
numerical coefficient of the 7s is that YHVH is presently
utilizing the 7-7-7 menorah template concerning the Plan
of Redemption to graft-in the Gentiles from among
the nations.
The
menorah pattern is as follows. There is the 7 days of
Passover that initiated the prophetic
Spring Feasts. Then there is presently the 7-fold
Church Age period intermission called the Pentecost
Age. Thereafter there will be the
70th Week of Years from Daniel’s prophetic
culmination to fulfill Israel’s discipline and redemption.
As Jesus fulfilled the literal 7 days of Passover by way
of His presentation, trial, execution and resurrection,
the 2nd literal fulfillment of the Fall Feasts
starting with Rosh HaShanah will also be fulfilled by
Jesus at His 2nd coming. It will last 21 days
or a 7-7-7 factor. Thus, the type of the 7-feast menorah
template will be mirrored by the 7-Year Tribulation. Thus
this study suggests that the totality of the Tribulation,
will be 7 years. It is acknowledging that there are
divergent theories that it is only 3.5 or 1260 days, etc.
The Menorah Pattern
The
menorah pattern has been itemized because the core theory
of the study presents a unique day and time correlation
when such a template could be prophetic and suggests a
timeline that could be pegged to the year 5-777. This
study is not suggesting that the Church Age
will be completed or that based on the prophetic
patterns of 7s and 7-7-7, the Rapture will have to occur
on 5-777 or 2017-18. The study only presents the pattern
as just that for illustrative purposes and educational
study of only a possibility due to its 7-7-7 factor. The
correlation occurs with the following association. If the
menorah pattern of the 7-fold feasts of YHVH is the viable
template for the
Plan of Redemption, could then the Jewish year of
5-777 see at some point in time the synchronicity of the
fulfillment of the 7-7-7 template of the prophetic feasts?
Why such a study is potentially relevant and could be
interesting to take note of is that if one uses the
timeline based on Jesus’ birth and death, there does
appear to be some unique associations dealing with the
pattern of the 7s and 50 and/or the Pentecostal
coefficient. Why this is noted is that if such dates of
Jesus’ birth and death marks-off when the 1st
Pentecost thus happened, that being on June 1, 32 AD, then
such become reliable benchmarks that appear to correlated
directly to June 1, 5-777 or the year 2017. According to
the Torah Calendar, Pentecost or Shavuot will
occur on June 1, 2017. This means that at that day and
time, the
7-fold Church Age period will have reached exactly
1985 years. Moreover, June 1, 2017 happens to be the 153rd
day. Why this factor is amazing is that there were
153 Disciples on that 1st Pentecost in
the Upper Room. The following are the specific
template, prophetically of the 7-Feasts of YHVH in
relation to the menorah pattern and possibly prophetic
typology of Jesus’ first and second coming.
Spring
Feasts of
YHVH

3. First Fruits

5. Rosh

6. Yom Kippur

= 7-7-7 prophetic menorah template converging in the
year 5-777?
This numerical coefficient is noted in that the direct
connection would thus correlate to the
153 Disciples that were present when such received
‘Power from on High’ to be
Witnesses or Ambassador of Jesus Christ and
begin the Church Age. The question of this study
thus is asked, could such a year as 5-777 see the
conclusion of such a prophetic Pentecostal pattern based
on the template of 7’s and 7-7-7? Realize that based on
the Jewish reckoning of time, the 7-7-7 of the 5-777 will
have only occurred once since Jesus Christ in terms of the
millennial dispensations of time since Adam. There are and
have only been several 7-7-7 year variables using the
Gregorian calendar since Jesus thus far; the year 777 and
1777.
As far as the topic of what calendars and dates are used,
it is understood that there is disagreement as to what
even the actual year it is. There are so many suppositions
of how days were added here, taken away there, converted
here, factored there, etc. Nonetheless, based on this
study of the prophetic 7’s and the 7-7-7 menorah pattern
as it pertains to the whole
Plan of Redemption of YHVH, this study strongly
suggests that the 4th Feast, that of the Pentecostal
Church Age is presently in play and being fulfilled
but not completed until the Rapture of the
Bride of Christ. The following are the Pentecost
dates based on various calendars for the year 2017.

What
this study is insinuating is that the
Age of Pentecost and its prophetic Feast typology
pertaining to the menorah pattern is not technically
fulfilled yet. It was initially started by GOD the Holy
Spirit at Pentecost but it has been progressive and yet to
be completed. More astonishing is that to reiterate; if
the timeline since Jesus’ birth and death are valid and as
presented, could the 1st Pentecost that
occurred on June 1, 32 AD see its consummation on June 1,
5-777? What is amazing is that Pentecost using the Torah
Calendar in 5-777 or 2017 specially occurs on June 1, the
153rd day. The following is the 153 numerical
variable connection, possibly.

Menorah (Spring Feasts – Church Age – Fall

The
whole
Church Age has encompassed a 7-fold timeframe of
historical Church eras. They have been historical periods
that culminates in the
Laodicean Church type of what the church body, as a
whole will be consisting of. Many are convinced, such is
the case now with the
Last Day’s Church. This Pentecostal interim is the
time that is in-between the prophetic economy of Israel’s
redemption and promises. The ‘Center Stem’ prophetic
typology or the 7-7-7 menorah pattern is severing
presently to graft-in the ‘wild’ olive branches of the
Gentile Believers in Jesus. He is the true Messiah and
redeemer and above all, the initiator, executioner and
completer of the
Plan of Redemption. It is understood that based on
the pattern of 7’s, Jesus literally came the first time as
Messiah ben-Joseph to die as a lowly Servant
and be resurrected.
The
timing of the literal fulfillment of the Feast and menorah
typology occurred in 1 literal week. Thus, would it follow
that Jesus’ 2nd coming literally will occur and can only
occur after the present ‘Pentecostal Intermission’ is
completed? Moreover, it would then follow that the 2nd
coming of Jesus would have to occur also after Daniel’s
7th Week of Years. In the meanwhile,
the Pentecostal intermission period is unique from any
prior and future times as those born since the 1st
Pentecost are privileged to be qualified to be part of
something that had never existed before, the Bride of
Christ. This ‘Mystery Age’ was the subject of what
the Apostle Paul wrote about that even the Old Testament
Prophets and the Angels longed to learn and see about.
The
Gentile Bride
All
throughout the
Law and the Prophets, types and shadows existed of
such a ‘Bride of Christ’ notion. However, Israel became
proud and blindsided as to the notion of a ‘Gentile Bride’
concept prophetically although they knew of such a
possible significance. The issue was that the Jews became
jealous of YHVH even entertaining the notion that non-Jews
could be co-inheritors of the Promises of Abraham. This
was in fact one of the primary reasons why they condemned
Jesus and Paul to death. It was the same Apostle Paul that
reminded the Jews that in the totality of the whole Plan
of Redemption, it was and is and will be YHVH’s
desire that the Gentiles be co-heirs with the nation of
Israel to partake of ‘the salvation that is of the Jews’.
Moreover, it was given to the Apostle Paul the Mystery of
the ‘Bride of Christ’ and was first disclosed to the
Church and sadly not to Israel due to their unbelief.
However,
such an amazing revelation was given to a Jew, the Apostle
Paul as he retreated to Mt. Sinai in Arabia and perhaps
even in the
Cave of Elijah where Israel, coincidentally on a
Pentecost Feast pledged a vow as a marriage type of
covenant to YHVH. As an aside note, the
Upper Room discourse and ceremony has been
interpreted by some to have been a marriage covenant
ceremony as well. It was a ratification and a down payment
for the ‘Bride of Christ’. It was also reminiscent of the
meal YHVH had on Mt. Sinai, a type of the Upper Room
along with Moses and the 70 Elders of Israel. As
to the conclusion of this prophetic period that the
Bride of Christ is being formulated, this study
thus suggests that the Pentecostal interim constitutes
such a timeframe and as it began on a Pentecost feast,
perhaps it will end on such.
This
would mean that based in the menorah pattern, Daniel’s
last
7 Week of Years would follow and then by Jesus’
literal return on a Rosh HaShanah. It is understood that
prophetically the ‘coming’ of Jesus at the 1st phase
consisted of the fulfillment of the 1st
3 Spring Feast of YHVH based on the prophetic
menorah type. It is theologically understood and accepted
that Jesus will be coming a 2nd time as promised. The
question remains, will it be at the beginning of the 2nd
half of the last 3 Fall Feasts,
given the menorah typology that starts with Rosh
HaShanah then? This study suggests that it follows that
the literal return of Jesus has to happen on a Rosh
HaShanah feast time. Also as the
3 Spring Feasts were initially fulfilled in a
literal 7-day period of time, so too will the Fall feasts
be fulfilled by Jesus in 21 days, or a factor of 7-7-7.
This is from Rosh HaShanah to the end of Sukkot, excluding
end date.
What
this study also seeks to note is that in keeping with such
a prophetic menorah template of the 7’s and 7-7-7, the
‘coming’ of Jesus is ‘present tense’. Jesus told His
Disciples that He needed to depart or else the Comforter
could not be sent. Then Jesus said a mysterious utterance,
‘and if I go, I will come to you…’ yet the context was the
sending or ‘coming’ of GOD the Holy Spirit, etc. Thus to
say that Jesus did come, is coming presently and will
come; this is one of the mystery of the Trinity. It is
assumed that as the indwelling power of GOD the Holy
Spirit came down on that first Pentecostal assembly,
perhaps so too will it ascend up, corporally in terms of
the collective Body of Christ at the point of the
resurrection and Rapture, whenever that will be. Based on
the menorah pattern and timeline from Jesus’ birth, could
it converge in 5-777?
After the Tribulation
This
study supposes that such a prophetic menorah pattern and
the numerical coefficient of 7 based on the
Creation Week typology could perhaps be used to
determine the end of the Pentecostal period. In such a
stipulation, it would thus be theologically impossible for
the
7-Church Age period to ‘spill-over’ or continue
into the Tribulation period of Daniel’s subsequent
7 Week of Years regardless of how long it will be
or when it will start. Many are confused and cause
division in particular because of this notion of the
Tribulation based solely on the phrase that Jesus stated
as He was giving the directives to His Disciples about
‘after the Tribulation of those days’, etc.
One
has to realize and see the composite picture and not be
myopic as the Apostle Paul even warned of
narrow-mindedness and vision concerning prophecy. Jesus in
the context of the question that was posed to Him was
asked when would the Kingdom of Israel, that of David be
established or come. The context of the question was
Jesus’ 2nd coming to establish the Kingdom and
redeem Israel, not the Rapture of the
Bride of Christ. The Disciples did not have the
‘Mystery Age’ and Bride of Christ fully revealed
and understood at that time.
Also
the phrase of ‘no one knows the day or the hour’ is thus
pertaining to the same as well and up to that point, it
was true. However, since that time, the revelation and
written texts that would follow the 1st century
Disciples would later divulge a lot due to the writing of
the New Testament. It would be later understood, that
there was and is an interim; a Pentecostal period. The
following is a timeline showing the correlation of the
numerical 7, 70 prophetic variables pegged to 2017 and
concerning Israel and Jerusalem based on solar years.
Israel’s

This study suggests that in fact, the prophetic menorah
template could hold also the key as to what day and hour
Jesus’ 2nd coming could occur based on the
prophetic menorah pattern that is based on the numerical
factor of 7s and 7-7-7. This Pentecostal period was and is
and will be in the context of Israel’s own intermission
period as part of the whole
Plan of Redemption that currently is on ‘hold’ and
subject to the conclusion of the Pentecostal period.
During this Pentecostal period, the Church has had and has
the
Testimony of Jesus and to Jesus and is busy with
the Royal Commission of the Gospel.
This ‘Pentecostal’ work is done in cooperation with work
of GOD the Holy Spirit being busy and working in
collaboration with Jesus to graft-in the complete number
of the Gentles. Israel is yet to finish its ‘tribulation’
as disclosed to the Prophet Daniel. As noted, what makes
this study intriguing based on the menorah template of the
7’s or 7-7-7 is that 5777-5778 is culminating also
on several amazing and prophetic timeframes based on the
numerical factor of 7. In 2017, there will be the 50th
anniversary or a ‘Pentecostal’ timeframe of the liberation
of Old Jerusalem to include the
Temple Mount.
The 70th Year
The
number 7 is a multiple of a prophetic completeness as in
the 7-day
Creation Week and the Sabbath in particular. A
double or triple factor just emphasizes the pattern as it
converges in space and time. Conversely there is a
compound 70-year timeframe also as it was in 1947 in that
the UN voted to partition the
Holy Land in a 2-state solution for the Arabs and
the Jews. The Muslims rejected this mandate and they
declared war on Israel instead. One has to realize
prophetically that as a counterpart, the prophetic economy
of Israel is on ‘hold’ currently or in intermission much
like the 7-fold Church Age period. Thus could the
Jewish year, 5-777 be such a year that will see the
completion of ‘x’ prophetic nuances such as the end of the
Pentecostal Age?
The study suggests that a synchronization could be
occurring that is based on the conclusion of the
Pentecostal period and contingent on the beginning and
conclusion of Israel’s
Diaspora that started in 70 AD. Interestingly, on
one level of association, 70 concerns the nations that
YHVH exiled Israel. It is rather unique how in January of
2017, 70 nations gather to decide the fate of Israel’s
land in a quest to divide it to forge a Muslim state. This
nexus of prophetic intersection could see the start of
Daniel’s
70th Week of Years to conclude Israel’s
redemption in the 70th year anniversary of
Israel’s rebirth in 2018. The Pentecostal pattern and the
template of 7’s is shown below pertaining to 2017-18.
-70 AD when Temple destroyed, Israel judged and exiled
among the nations.
-70th Year in 2017
-70 Nations in 2017 gathered in Paris to divide the land
of Israel
-70th Week of Years per Daniel
With
the destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD,
will the 3rd Temple see the edifice built in
the 70th year of Israel’s ‘birth’ since 1948
where it left off and was destroyed in 70 AD? The year
5778 will be the 70th year from when Israel
became a sovereign nation in 1948. Will the 70th
year that is in 2018 see the synchronicity of its
1948-year duration match prophetically? Will the 70th
Week of Years per Daniel see it synchronize to the
conclusion of the 7-fold
Church Age? If one holds to the menorah pattern
possibly fulfilling prophetic time, then the
Time of Jacob’s Trouble should occur right after
the Pentecostal period concludes. This would mean that
then the 2nd coming of Jesus would confirm and
fulfill the words of Jesus, ‘after the tribulation of
those days’, etc.
To
reiterate, the 7-fold day of the
Tribulation Week of Years would constitute ‘after
the tribulation of those days’. The context is also the
answer to when Jesus said He would be returning, as
Messiah ben-David in fact, the 2nd
coming, not the Rapture. Thus the ‘after the Tribulation
of those day’ would be followed by the coming of the Son
of Man to establish His Kingdom and redeem Israel. This
was the context and question of the Disciples, not when
the ‘Rapture’ of the ‘Bride of Christ’ was to occur. The
following are some date calculations based on the ‘birth’
of Israel in 1948 and the 6-Day War in 1967. These 2 prior
wars led to the progressive restoration of the
Olivet Discourse that Jesus foretold would occur,
that is the destruction of the Temple, the City and then
the Nation. This study suggests based on this prophetic
template that such an order is prophetic to the
restoration of Israel but in reverse order.
Israel, the Nexus of Prophecy
The
nation of Israel was first ‘birthed’ in 1948, then the
City in 1967. June 7th was when the
Temple Mount and the Old City of Jerusalem
were liberated from the Muslims. What still remains to be
‘redeemed’ is the Temple commiserate with a war as well to
facilitate its restoration. Will a subsequent war occur in
2017 or 5-777 that will determine the remaining prophetic
variable of the Temple that was destroyed in 70 AD? Will
Israel, see its ’70-year’ factor come to fruition in the
70th year since 1948 which will be either 2017
based on the lunar calendar or in 2018 based on the solar
one?
This study thus will speculate that perhaps if such a
major war will materialize against Israel by the 70-Nation
directive of Paris with the Syrian war being the catalyst,
the Psalm 83 War could be the actual fulfilment of the 1st
inner-ring of Muslim nations to attack Israel. If this
could be the possible prophetic timeline, then sometime in
2018 the 3rd Temple could be built and the
Sacrifices could begin for example on that Passover, which
would be March 30 on the Rabbinical Calendar. Or the
Sacrifices could begin in the Fall Feasts at Rosh
HaShanah. The following are the 2 specific possible
timelines for consideration.
War of
Independence: Israel’s ‘Birth’: the Nation
May 14, 1948 + 70 years using solar years (70 x
365 = 25550 days)
= May 14, 2018
Note
that 1260 + 1290 (30 extra days) =
2550
May 14,
1948 +
70 years using lunar years (70 x 360 = 25200
days) = May 12, 2017
*May 14, 1948 to Jun 1, 2017
(1985 year anniversary of 1st Pentecost)
= 25220 days
Jun
1, 32 AD +
(1985 years on solar calendar) = 725,008 days =
Jun 1, 2017
However
if one multiplies 1985 years x 356 solar years = 724,525
days, a difference of
483 days. What is
peculiar about the 483-day count is that it is a factor
of Daniel’s prophecy in the following manor.
1.
Add 7 + 62 weeks of years = 69 weeks of
years in this prophecy
2.
Multiply 69 (weeks) x 7 (to get the total number of
years in this prophecy) =
483 years
3.
Multiply 483 years x 360 (to get the total number of
days in this prophecy) = 173,880 days
6-Day War: Jerusalem captured: the City
Jun 7, 1967 + 50 years using solar years (50 x 365 =
18250 days) = Jun 7, 2017
Jun 7, 1967 + 50 years using lunar years (50 x 360 =
18000 days) = Sep 16, 2016
If
by sometime after 5777-8 the AntiChrist sanctions the
building of the 3rd Temple, he would be recognized as the
long-awaited Messiah of Israel. This possible scenario
would set the stage for a false peace that would have
Israel ‘lower its guard’ and walls literally for the next
stage of the coming
Gog-Magog War. This coming war will be comprised of
the outer-ring of Muslim nations led by Russia and Persia
(Iran). Such would seek revenge for the defeat of the
initial inner-ring Muslim nations, the total dominion of
the Jews over the Temple Mount and for building the 3rd
Temple.
Some Timelines
In the humiliation, the Gog-Magog alliance will seek to
plunder the resources of Israel due to the economic
straights the Russian Federation has been subjected to by
the USA in terms of economic sanctions and for the
funneling of what resources and capital it has had toward
its military build-up to counter NATO’s apparent
encirclement of Russia. If such a scenario is to take
place, the following could thus define when the 70th
week of Daniel would or could begin. If the Passover of
2018, which starts on March 30, 2018 is when the
Tribulation is to begin as is commonly ascribed to by
conventional Christian eschatology, then there would be a
2520-day span of time allotted.
There
are myriads of permutations of possible timelines that
many have tried to decrypt Daniel’s prophetic variables.
As the time approaches and the knowledge is increased
perhaps the ‘looking glass’ will become less dim and
obscure. Out of the 2 possible Feasts that the 3rd
Temple Sacrifices could commence, Passover and Rosh
HaShanah, this study suggests that the later would be the
better case based on the current spiritual disposition of
national Israel. The following are the 2 possible
timelines based on a Passover and Rosh HaShanah start
time. Could this be the time when Jesus is due to come
back and when He will come back?
From
Passover
Passover
on Mar 30, 2018 + 1260 days (midpoint) = Sacrifices
ceased by AntiChrist
= Sep 11, 2021 including end date
Passover on Mar 30, 2018 + 2520 days = Feb 21, 2025
= 7 months to Rosh HaShanah when Jesus comes back…?
From
Rosh HaShanah
Rosh
HaShanah Sep 30, 2018 + 1260 days (midpoint) =
Sacrifices ceased by AntiChrist
= Mar 13, 2022 including end date
Rosh
HaShanah Sep 30, 2018 + 2520 days =
Aug 24, 2025 which is on a Rosh HaShanah
(TorahCalendar) = when Jesus comes back…?
+30 Days extension (1290 count)
= If
one adds 30 days to the Rosh HaShanah on Aug 24, 2025
(TorahCalendar) it will be on Sep 23, 2025 which is the
Rosh HaShanah on the Rabbinical Calendar.
Realize
that although the Tribulation period is considered to be
‘7 years’ by some, it is not based on the 365 solar day
count but the 360 lunar day count. Thus if one adds 2520
days from March 30, 2018, the possible culmination of the
last Week of Years per Daniel would be as follows.
What is rather unique in the findings is that if the
Sacrifices do start in a Rosh HaShanah Feast, the 2520-day
count from that time would correspond to August 24, 2025,
which happens to be Rosh HaShanah.
The
Servant-King
As
the prophecy of Zechariah 12 has arrived in these
Last Days, Jerusalem and the heartland of Israel,
Judea and Samaria are at the crosshairs of the 70 Nations
that seek to divide the land. As Israel is now
geo-politically isolated unto itself, the present
conditions will make it so that Israel will revert to look
for a ‘Messiah’ figure for their covering and support.
However, as in the past, Israel at this point because it
is a secular nation will seek to make political alliances
and pacts with a ‘Messiah’ to obtain its ‘peace and
security’. Israel is not yet consigned to look toward YHVH
as a nation to their true Messiah as it will only come
after the Tribulation according to how some interpret
Zechariah 14.
It
will only be there and then; at Armageddon and the return
of Jesus Christ that the scales will fall from their
spiritual blindness in part and Israel will realize as a
collective nation and consciousness that the true Messiah
has been Jesus all along. Can it be the case that the
world has prophetically arrived at the point in which the
nexus of the AntiChrist of the Bible or that of the false
Messiah Israel is about to embrace? Israel rejected Jesus
Christ that was introduced and was examined some days
prior to Passover. Although as a metaphor type of the
Lamb of GOD, Jesus having no ‘blemish’ or sin in
Himself was rejected as the Messiah by Israel. Israel was
seeking a
Bar-Abbas type Maccabees political liberator that
would politically establish the Kingdom of David’s throne
from that point on. They were seeking first the
Crown before the Cross.
Even now, many Jews reject Jesus because they cannot see
or discern the 2 missions of the Messiah and cannot
reconcile the notion that the Messiah had to first die.
Most also reject the notion that the ‘Suffering Servant’
of Isaiah 53 is Jesus but Israel. Yet in the book of Acts,
YHVH clearly dispels any confusion by sending Phillip to
the Ethiopian Eunuch to confirm that the
Suffering Servant is not taking about Israel, nor
Isaiah, but Jesus. The New Testament is very clear that
the coming AntiChrist will come in his own ‘Name’ and be
presented to Israel in the anticipated geo-political
framework that will ‘confirm’ the Covenant with the Many.
Thus if such will be the order, then it would be at a Rosh
HaShanah feast timeframe that Jesus would return. It would
not only begin the New Year, but new ‘kingdom’, new
Temple, new sacrifices, etc.
This possible, speculated and suggested timeline thus
would fit amazingly with the 2520, the 1260 midpoint that
would correspond to the Rosh HaShanah based on the Torah
Calendar of when Jesus would return. What is rather
interesting is that the 2520-day count from Rosh HaShanah
of September 30, 2018 would result in Rosh HaShanah of
August 23, 2015 based on the Torah Calendar. Then 30 days
later as Daniel also is told to factor in would result in
September 23, 2025, which is the Rosh HaShanah in the
Rabbinical Calendar. It must be states that such timelines
and dates are not meant to predict nor state that such are
emphatically when the Rapture and the 2nd
coming of Jesus are to take place. Such notions are only
an extrapolation based on Biblical numerical patterns and
meant to bring-up for consideration and study. However,
such time markers do appear significant and interesting
but are yet to be determined.
This
study has attempted to present a clear delineation of the
multifaceted template of the 7’s and the7-7-7 menorah
pattern typology concerning the whole comprehensive
Plan of Redemption. Based on said patterns, could
the year 5-777 thus see such a synchronization and
fulfillment of the menorah pattern template? Could there
be a connection where such a possible ascension based on
the factor of the June 1, 32 AD date of the 1st
Pentecost that had the amazing 153 variable encoded
respectfully be prophetically significant and pertinent to
the June 1, 2017 Pentecost?
The
question and mystery remains though, will the Rapture of
the
Bride of Christ, the conclusion of the present-day
work of the ‘Servant Stem’ Feast typology conclude on a
Pentecostal timeframe as it began? Again, this study is
not insinuating that June 1, 2017 will be the Rapture but
that it is just a very interesting association given the
timelines presented and Jewish year based on the menorah
template of prophecy and the study of 7’s and 7-7-7 that
are based off the
Creation Week typology. Only time will tell.
