Hi, John -
Last week you posted my conjecture -- http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2021/stevec822-1.htm -- and I appreciate it. I've modified/clarified a few of the items:
The September 21 date for the rapture is Jerusalem time. Here, it will be Monday, September 20th
The time between now and the beginning of Daniel's 70th week will include:
- 22 final days from today, Sunday August 28th to the rapture
- rapture September 20
- three days of darkness, uncertainty, confusion, fear and trepidation
- Global war, including the "23 nukes" on American cities (Sep 23rd)
- clamoring for peace
- likely replacement of Biden with either Harris or Trump
- probable beginning of the "great deception" which I think will be purported visitors from another galaxy (Galatians 1:8) with a new age "gospel"
- resurrection of Ezekiel 37 "dry bones" (Ezekiel 37:12-14, 24-26)
The time between the beginning of Daniel's 70th week - October 18 - and the beginning of the 42-month reign of "The AntiChrist" (Satan indwelling the son of perdition) on October 31 will include:
IF the 42-month reign of The Dragon begins on Halloween, it will END on May 23, 2025 which is the 40th day of the omer count, traditionally the day of the Ascension but more significantly, ten days before Pentecost.
- Confirmation of the covenant, which is the sealing of 144,000 Jews on October 18.
- Jews re-located to Petra (Rev. 12:6, 14)
- the revelation of The AntiChrist
- the whole "ten kings" thing - maybe attempted assassinations on four of them; three die and one is "resurrected"
- The one who survives is thus "certified" as The One and becomes global "head honcho"
- On October 31, Satan is crowned as "god of this world" in Jerusalem. Two witnesses begin 1,260-day ministry
If the 1,260-day ministry of the two witnesses begins on Halloween, it will end on Passover in 2025 and their resurrection and ascension will occur 3 1/2 days later.
All dates are from HebCal. I understand there are a LOT of calendars to choose from: the Essene Calendar, the Creation Calendar, Enoch's calendar, the Torah Calendar, etc. etc. This adds to the mystery and increases the probability that these day-counts are not accurate. Hopefully we'll find out on September 20th, and after that, it will only matter to those left behind.
On the day that the Two Witnesses are raised, there is a great earthquake in Jerusalem and it appears that the Final Conflict will be in the very near term. Acts 2 and Joel 2 will be lead stories in the Jerusalem Post (if JPost there be) - this is the sixth seal, the grape harvest, the winepress of God (Rev.14:17-20), the Final Battle (Rev. 19:11-15), the "supper of the great God" (Rev. 19:17-18, Ezekiel 39:4, 17-20), and the battle of Magog - truly a GRAND FINALE.
The rumble is over on Day 1,335 which will be June 14, 2025 or about 12 days AFTER Pentecost. (Daniel 12:12)
We'll see. This is an educated guess. If I'm wrong, it won't be the first time. If I'm right, I'm READY.
