Hi:

> if we are
still here what
then?? if the mid
point of the
“seventieth week”
is the 11th then
we should be gone
then. But if we
are still here
does it mean that
the seventieth
week hasn’t
started or did you
make a booboo in
your calculations
or what?? Paul
Unlike
Ron Reese and
other like-minded
people, I don’t
think April 11,
2012, is the true
mid-point of the
Tribulation. I
think it will be
Nov. 8/9, 2012.
They must not have
studied the Hebrew
Calendar very
much. I studied it
enough to be able
to reconstruct the
calendar back from
1BC to 5 BC one
time.
Counting
the Tribulation as
being 1260 + 1260
days HAS TO BE
ESTIMATED TIME on
the Hebrew
Calendar. It is
like saying 3.5
years. No actual
3.5-year span of
time actually has
1260 days, or 42 x
30-day months, or
3.5 x 360-day
years. In that
span of time, we
would have had one
or two leap years
with a 13th month.
As
for days in a
month, they vary.
There are 12 or 13
months that can
have 29 or 30
days. Here is the
way they vary. Nisan (always
30), Iyar (always
29), Sivan (always
30), Tammuz (always
29), Av (always
30), Elul (always
29), Tishri (always
30), Cheshvan (29 or
30), Kislev (29 or
30), Tevet (always
29), Shevat (always
30), and Adar (always
29). Like last
year, the leap
years have 13
months. Adar I is
added after
Shevat, and the
regular Adar is
changed to Adar II
(always 29).
No
year has 360 days.
There can only be
353, 354, 355,
383, 384, or 385
days in a year.
Ex
23:16 says that
the season of the
fall Feast of
Tabernacles (Sukkoth),
is called "the end
of the year." The
Sacred Year always
begins with Nisan
1 in the spring.
Therefore, the
first day of the
Sacred, Regnal and
Jubilee Years are
always Nisan 1. It
is the coming of
the next Jubilee
Year that is
always announced
on the previous
Day of Atonement
so people can make
plans for the
Jubilee Year ahead
of time.
Jesus’
birthday was
Tishri 1, when the
sign of Rev 12 was
in the sky. He
announced the
Jubilee Year on
the Day of
Atonement near his
birthday in 27 AD.
The Jubilee was in
28 AD. He was
crucified on
Thursday, Nisan
13, 3790, April 6,
30 AD. He died
about 3 PM when
the priests were
beginning to kill
the Passover lambs
at the Temple.
Those lambs had to
be baked and eaten
before midnight on
Passover, Friday,
Nisan 14. If they
hadn’t been eaten
by midnight, six
hours after Nisan
14 began, when
they were in
Egypt, their
firstborn would
have died.
Back
to our subject,
there are always 7
days in a week,
and Sabbatic years
are always every
7th year. Those
have never varied.
The Jubilee Cycle
is a 49-year
cycle. The 50th
year is always the
first day of the
new cycle. If it
wasn’t that way,
the Sabbatic Years
and the Jubilee
Years would fall
out of sync. There
are always 7
Sabbatic years
followed by a
Jubilee year,
which is day 1 of
the new cycle.
I count
the first half of
the Tribulation as
1260 days, and
think the last
half of
the
Tribulation will
be shortened to
1040 days. That
puts Mid-Trib on
Nov 8/9, 2012,
figuring the 2300
days by inclusive
reckoning, because
it is a block of
time. Even this
may not plot
Mid-Trib
perfectly, but it
will be close
enough for people
to identify the
False Prophet when
he sits in the
Temple presenting
himself as God.
2Th 2:4
says, “Who
opposeth and
exalteth himself
above all that
is called God,
or that is
worshipped; so
that he as God
sitteth in the
temple of God,
shewing himself
that he is God.”

the Sabbath,
Nov 9, 2012 =
Cheshvan

“AT
THE TIME OF THE
END SHALL BE THE
VISION”
We
are living in the
time of the end.
Dan 8:13-17 says,
“Then I heard one
saint speaking,
and another saint
said unto that
certain saint
which spake, How
long shall be the
vision concerning
the daily
sacrifice, and the
transgression of
desolation, to
give both the
sanctuary and the
host to be trodden
under foot? 14 And
he said unto me,
Unto two thousand
and three hundred
days; then shall
the sanctuary be
cleansed. 15 And
it came to pass,
when I, even I
Daniel, had seen
the vision, and
sought for the
meaning, then,
behold, there
stood before me as
the appearance of
a man. 16 And I
heard a man's
voice between the
banks of Ulai,
which called, and
said, Gabriel,
make this man to
understand the
vision. 17 So he
came near where I
stood: and when he
came, I was
afraid, and fell
upon my face: but
he said unto me,
UNDERSTAND, O SON
OF MAN: FOR AT THE
TIME OF THE END
SHALL BE THE
VISION.”
I
think “THE TIME OF
THE END”
represents the
whole 2300-day
Tribulation. We are
living in the time
of the end. I
think the
Tribulation began
on Pentecost, May
29, 2009, and will
end on the Day of
God’s Wrath, the
Feast of Trumpets,
Sept 14, 2015. The
vision is
for THE time of
the end. Gabriel
said it. There is
no way we can get
around it.
Therefore, we
should take it
into consideration
when figuring the
length of the
Tribulation, which
is the specific
TIME OF THE END.
Using
estimated time (30
days in a month,
12 months in a
year, 360 days in
a year, 1260 days
in 3.5 years), Ron
Reece figures that
there are 1260
days in the first
half of the
Tribulation (which
he starts on Oct
29, 2008) and 1260
days in the last
half (which he
ends on the Day of
Atonement, Sept
23, 2015).
However,
Scripture says
that the last half
is to be
shortened. 2300 -
1260 = 1040.
Therefore,
subtracting 1040
days from the Day
of God’s Wrath,
the Feast of
Trumpets, Sept 14,
2015, I get Sept
8, 2012. Adding
1260 days to the
beginning of the
Tribulation,
Pentecost, May 29,
2009, is Nov 9,
because the
2300-day block of
time should be
figured by
inclusive
reckoning.
I
think the Day of
God’s Wrath has to
be on the Feast of
Trumpets. Joel 1
:15
says, “Alas for
the day! for the
DAY OF THE LORD is
at hand, and as a
DESTRUCTION from
the Almighty shall
it come.”
Joel
2:1-11 says, “Blow
ye the TRUMPET
in Zion, and
sound an alarm
in my holy
mountain: let
all the
inhabitants of
the land
tremble: for the
DAY OF THE LORD
cometh, for it
is nigh at hand;
2 A day of
darkness and of
gloominess, a
day of clouds
and of thick
darkness, as the
morning spread
upon the
mountains: a
great people and
a strong (Gog’s
army); there
hath not been
ever the like,
neither shall be
any more after
it, even to the
years of many
generations. 3 A
fire devoureth
before them; and
behind them a
flame burneth:
the land is as
the garden of
Eden before
them, and behind
them a desolate
wilderness; yea,
and nothing
shall escape
them. 4 The
appearance of
them is as the
appearance of
horses; and as
horsemen, so
shall they run.
:5 Like the
noise of
chariots on the
tops of
mountains shall
they leap, like
the noise of a
flame of fire
that devoureth
the stubble, as
a strong people
set in battle
array. 6 Before
their face the
people shall be
much pained: all
faces shall
gather
blackness. 7
They shall run
like mighty men;
they shall climb
the wall like
men of war; and
they shall march
every one on his
ways, and they
shall not break
their ranks: 8
Neither shall
one thrust
another; they
shall walk every
one in his path:
and when they
fall upon the
sword, they
shall not be
wounded. 9 They
shall run to and
fro in the city;
they shall run
upon the wall,
they shall climb
up upon the
houses; they
shall enter in
at the windows
like a thief. 10
The earth shall
quake before
them; the
heavens shall
tremble: the sun
and the moon
shall be dark
(as in Rev
6:12-17), and
the stars shall
withdraw their
shining: 11 And
the LORD shall
utter his voice
before his army:
for his camp is
very great: for
he is strong
that executeth
his word: for
the DAY OF THE
LORD is great
and very
terrible; and
who can abide
it?”
As
I see it, the Day
of the Lord, which
is the Day of
God’s Wrath is the
Feast of Trumpets,
Sept 14, 2015. The
two asteroids of
Rev 8:8-11 will
impact Earth that
day. The Sign of
the Son of Man
will appear in the
sky. Jesus will be
seen sitting on
his throne,
because that will
be the first day
of his millennial
reign. He will
purge his kingdom
at the outset, as
Solomon, the son
of David, did. The
Israelites that
are left will
repent and keep
the Day of
Atonement, Sept
23, 2015. Since
every wall will
fall in the
worldwide
earthquake (Eze
38:18f), the
Israelites will
have to erect
hastily built
booths out of
scraps to sleep in
and to celebrate
the Feast of
Tabernacles.
I
think that Feast
of Trumpets will
also be the day of
the Last-Trump
Rapture (I Cor
15:51-54; Rev
6:17, 7:14). No
wonder God will
wipe away their
tears, they will
get out of here by
the skin of their
teeth before the
asteroid hits.
That will be
Jesus’ (Joshua’s
from the Hebrew)
Long Day, of which
Joshua’s Long Day
was a type. Earth
will be turned
upside down that
day. It will take
some time for it
to regain its
equilibrium. Every
wall will fall, so
cities will be in
shambles.
Rev
16:19-21 says,
”And the great
city (Jerusalem)
was divided into
three parts, and
the cities of
the nations
fell: and great
Babylon came in
remembrance
before God, to
give unto her
the cup of the
wine of the
fierceness of
his wrath. 20 And
every island
fled away, and
the mountains
were not found.
21 And
there fell upon
men a great hail
out of heaven,
every stone
about the weight
of a talent: and
men blasphemed
God because of
the plague of
the hail; for
the plague
thereof was
exceeding
great.”
