Youtuber Return of the King said he is making a new star chart video about the signs this week. Been waiting for him to post it. Wow, thank you Tammie, for sharing that info about Spica (the Branch) etc. very informative! Just a few minutes ago my dog was barking up a storm and I looked out my back windows and everything was glowing pink and orangey … I thought … is this it? The rapture??! But instead … I was able to quickly capture this amazing sunset with my iPad … much prettier in person … here is a glimpse of the sky tonight. Thank you, Tammie! Awesome explanation. We'll keep looking up :prayer-hands: Geri - that is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! :thankyou The going forth of the commandment was given in the month of Nisan in Nehemiah 2. I haven't heard the 457 BC part much, but I did see it mentioned one other time. The command was given in 445BC. 445 BC to 32 AD = 69 Weeks of years The prophecy didn't regard day counts, although you can get to those if you use 360 days x 69 weeks x 7 years per Week. But the prophecy specifically states Weeks of years. If you count the periods of 7 years between those two dates above, you get 69 between command and first presentation of the Kingdom which is what Daniel states - from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince. As the final Week is still outstanding, there is definitely a gap. Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation point to the start of this final Week. Joel points to the end of it. Nisan to Nisan is necessary since that's how Weeks of years work per their establishment in Joshua. That's why we see the Weeks also begin in the month of Nisan in Nehemiah 2 and end in Nisan in Matthew 21 at the Triumphal Entry. That's how they are designed to work and when they are designed to start. Nisan to Nisan, and specifically Nisan 10 to Nisan 10.
