"Daniel 7 weeks prophecy involves First Fruit and Pentecost"


John and Doves,

I have explained Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy before. Here's a correction. I thought there is 49 days between Nisan 15 and Pentecost, I was wrong. I did the counting again. It is "First Fruit" and Pentecost that are separated by 49 days.

First Fruit always falls on Sunday. When we add 49 days / 7 weeks to First Fruit, including the first and last day, we always come to the
 7th Saturday. Pentecost is next day Sunday following this 7th Saturday. But the actual Pentecost begins on sunset the 7th Saturday. Jesus shall hold a feast on the evening of this 7th Saturday, with remnant of Israel and the gentiles believers as the two loaves
 of bread. Instead of returning on Nisan 15, Jesus is returning on First Fruit, to fulfill Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy.


Take 2030 for example, Nisan 14 Passover is April 17 Wednesday. So First Fruit is April 21 Sunday. April 21 is 1st day, April 22 is 2nd day,
 April 23 is 3rd day, ........ June 8 Saturday is the 49th day. June 9 is 50th day Pentecost Sunday. But the actual Pentecost begins on sunset June 8. On the evening of June 8, which is the 49th day from First Fruit April 21, a feast offering shall be held.
 Jesus is the High Priest, with remnant of Israel and gentiles believers as the two loaves of bread. This wraps up Daniel's 7 weeks / 49 days prophecy.

This should clear the mistake I have made. Jesus is returning to Jerusalem on First Fruit, not Nisan 15. The two feasts which are separated
 by 49 days are First Fruit and Pentecost, not Nisan 15 and Pentecost.

Now we understand the 49 days in Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy points to First Fruit and Pentecost, Jesus can return to Jerusalem in any given year. It doesn't have to be 2029. It can be 2030, or even 2031.

Jesus is returning to Jerusalem on First Fruit, a commandment is given forth on this day to restore Jerusalem, and 49 days later, on sunset Pentecost, restoration of Jerusalem is complete.

Here is the main point. 7 years tribulation has to be wrapped up on a future Pentecost, because Pentecost is the fulfillment and completion of Daniel’s 7 weeks prophecy. Restoration of Jerusalem is complete on Pentecost. This should end the 7 years tribulation.
