Hello
John and Doves,
Just
a few thoughts on the 1,290 day count given in Daniel
12:11 -
Daniel 12:11 "And from the time the daily sacrifice
is stopped and the abomination of desolation set up, there
will be 1,290 days."
From
the time of THIS event - the stopping of 'the daily' - to
the permitting/inflicting of devastation/desolation -
there is a span of 1,290 days. Note that 'sacrifice'
is in italics in Daniel - it's added to 'the daily' and is
inferred. But what if 'the daily' is what is being
done now in Jerusalem? (There was
no 'daily sacrifice' when Daniel wrote his prophecy as the
Temple had been destroyed.)
Daniel
was in Babylon when he wrote his prophetic book - the
first Temple had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and the
Babylonians. (As a side note, Daniel was in Babylon
right into the time period of King Cyrus - the king who
allowed the exiled Israelites to return to Jerusalem and
rebuild the Temple that Nebuchadnezzar had destroyed.)
If
the start of the Tribulation is in our near future, what
do they do daily in Jerusalem?
They
pray at the Western Wall. The Jews are not allowed
to pray on the Temple Mount...and they have no Third
Temple. The only thing they do daily that could be
'stopped' is praying at The Wall.
"The
Kabbalah says that the ever Divine Presence of God will
dwell within the Western Wall until the prophesied third
temple is rebuilt...Today, there are millions of people
from all over the globe and from every nation that come to
pray at the Western Wall. They come just to
experience His Divine Presence that touches all lives that
are seeking to be touched by Him at this location.
There are millions of people who already discovered the
power of prayer at the Western Wall.

Power of prayer at the Western Wall | Doorway to heaven
David
Friedman, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel said that "The
Western Wall is the holiest place in the entire Jewish
World." He said this after an unidentified American
official said that the Western Wall is not part of
Israel's territory, but part of the Palestinian West
Bank!

U.S.
official denies Western Wall is Israel's
There
are some, even here in America, who do not believe The
Wall belongs to the Jewish nation. UNESCO - the UN's
world heritage organization - has renamed the Western Wall
"Al-Buraq Plaza - the Muslim name. "On Friday, the
United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization's (UNESCO) Executive Board in Paris adopted a
resolution erasing Israel's ties to the Temple Mount and
the Western Wall."

UNESCO
renames Western Wall “Al-Buraq Plaza”
How could the daily prayers at the Western
Wall be stopped? A 'peace plan' could transfer the
ownership of The Wall to the Muslims, possibly giving
control to Jordan. So, how long before the Kushner
peace plan is released and we see what is in it?
If not a peace plan, then what else could stop the daily
prayers? UNESCO's resolution could be enforced if
a new prime minister gets in office? If The Wall
is not initially in the the peace plan, it could be used
as an 'incentive' to the Palestinians to get them to
sign on. Hmmmm.
"President Trump is expected to decide in the
next several days whether to present the White House's
Middle East peace plan before Israel's March 2
elections..." per U.S. and Israeli sources..."Kushner is
expected to travel from Davos to Jerusalem on Wednesday
to participate in the Fifth World Holocaust Forum**,
where he is likely to meet Netanyahu and his political
opponent Benny Gantz - the leader of the Blue and White
party - and discuss the peace plan."

Luke
21:20 tells us what this 'abomination of desolation' is -
"When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you
will know that its desolation is near."
Luke
21 is the parallel chapter of Mathew 24:14-23 (and Luke
21:20-24) where the disciples ask Jesus 'when will these
things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming
and of the end of the age?" Jesus tells them about
the 'holy place' (Jerusalem) and "the abomination of
desolation" - He then tells the people in Judea to flee
from their houses and fields to the mountains and do not
try to retrieve any belongings to take with you.
"For at that time there will be great tribulation,
unmatched from the beginning of the world until now...."
Matthew 24:21
We
all know there is no way an army can surround Jerusalem
and be a 'surprise' to anyone. No one in the fields
or in the houses will be caught unawares of an approaching
army. That can't happen. An army would be seen
coming from tens of miles away...even if they used tunnels
at the border - they couldn't get to Jerusalem without a
heads up. However, drones could surround
Jerusalem. Like the ones used to attack the Saudi
oil installations last year. And scripture says that
Jerusalem is attacked and desolated. The occupants flee to
the mountains - a perfect hiding place from drones.
We
are told in The Revelation and Daniel about 1,260 day
count...but we do not know if the extra 30 days of the
1,290 day count written about in Daniel comes before or
after the 1,260 day count. I am considering a
Tribulation period of 1,260 days - not 7 years, in this
letter.
The Lord tells us that
IMMEDIATELY after the tribulation 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 powers of the
heavens will be shaken. At that time the sign of the
Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of
earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man
coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great
glory." Matthew 24:29-30
The
'tribulation of those days' would be referring to the
1,260 day count which includes Jerusalem being destroyed
by her enemies; then the Lord returns.
All
of this, starting with the taking away of the daily to the
Lord's return would take place in the 1,290 day count.
I've
heard some prophecy teachers say that 1,260 days of a
'three and a half year' tribulation period is not enough
time for all of the things to happen in The
Revelation. I disagree - I think things can happen
swiftly, simultaneously or one right after the
other. I do not believe 7 years is necessary to
complete these prophecies.
So,
if the Tribulation is three and a half years (1,260 days)
then where do those extra 30 days (of the 1,290)
fall? Before or after the 1,260 days?
It
makes more sense to me (with my human reasoning), that
these 30 days could come before the Tribulation
starts...IF that is correct, and IF the Tribulation is
only 1,260 days long, then the Tribulation would need to
start in the Spring and end in the fall three and a half
years later at the Feast of Trumpets - allowing for the
Day of Atonement - Judgment - and the Feast of Tabernacles
(fulfilled during the Millennial reign) to occur in quick
succession.
Nissan
10 - the day Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem for his
Triumphal Entry - is a possible date for the prophetic
clock to start ticking again. The clock stopped when
the people did not accept Jesus as their King - which
would have fulfilled the prophecy spoken of by Daniel -
sealing up all the prophecies.
Luke
19:41,44 "As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the
city, He wept over it and said, "If only you had known on
this day what would bring you
peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes...because
you did not recognize the time of your
visitation from God."
With
this, the prophetic clock stopped. So it seems that
on some future 10 Nissan it will restart.
This
year Nissan 10 is April 4. IF this day is the start
of the Tribulation, then maybe, 30 days before this will
start the 1,290 day count. March 5 is 30 days before
April 4. March 5 is the 9th of Adar. Right
before the Purim celebrations: March 9 is the Fast
of Esther; March 10/11 is Purim.
Hot
off the press today! "President Donald Trump said
Thursday (1/23/2020) that he'll likely release the
long-awaited White House Mideast peace plan before his
meeting early next week with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and his main political rival Benny
Gantz..He said he was surprised that both Netanyahu and
Gantz were willing to take a break from campaigning for
the March 2 elections to join him Tuesday (January 28,
2020) in Washington. They would both like to do the
deal. They want to see peace, "Trump said....He said
his administration has talked briefly to the Palestinians,
who have rejected the administration's peace plan before
it even comes out."
So
we could see this plan released before this letter is
posted on Doves, Sunday 26 - or on Sunday/Monday -
before the Tuesday meeting. It will be interesting
to see what day/date on the Hebrew calendar that this
'peace plan' is released.
Wow!
Just checked the Hebrew calendar for January 28 (when
President Trump will meet PM Netanyahu and Gantz to
discuss the White House Mideast peace plan) - it's 2
Shevat!
"On
this day in 1942 that the Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich
met with representatives of the German Police, the S.S.
and leading Nazi Party officials to begin discussing the
implementation of the so-called, "Final Solution" to the
so-called "Jewish Problem."

(Purim/Book
of Esther had connections to 1946 and the ten German
officers that were hung on the gallows, like Haman's ten
sons. Purimfest 1946! See link below.)
Also,
the Israeli elections are on March 2, this day is 6 Adar
on the Hebrew calendar. The day Moses died (the day
Billy Graham died, 6 Adar) Not a good day
historically for the Jewish people: A plague killed
hundreds of Jews in Worms, German, 1349; the final
expulsion of Jews from Lubeck , Germany, 1816; the Germans
liquidated the Krakow ghetto, 1943.
March
2nd is the new Israeli elections (6 Adar)...March 5 (9
Adar) is a possible date for the start of the 1290 day
count in Daniel.
And
add Purim (March 9 - Fast of Esther; March 10 - Purim;
March 11 - Shushan Purim) into the dates to watch in the
month of Adar.
Pray
for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!

I
used the chabad.org calendar for Hebrew dates.
IF,
the prophetic clock stopped on 14 Nissan, Passover (April
8th this year), then 30 days before this is March 9.
March 9 is the Fast of Esther, or 13 Adar. The eve
of Purim. Two very interesting dates to watch.
