Please note. This is just a theory.

This is not a Thus saith the Lord.

*I am a fallible man and I don't know everything and I seek to please the Lord

Please, please, please do not sell your house or neglect to pay your bills. Also, do not throw rocks at me if this turns out to be totally wrong.

All glory to God, in any case.

With that in mind and hopefully made clear, here goes.

My theory is that there will be 6,000 years of human history and then 1,000 years of a Millenium for a total of 7,000 years. So, providing that the Pre Trib Rapture is true (and I believe it is) it should come approximately 7 years before the 6,000 years are up. So, in other words, the year 5993.

Any theory is tempered by the assumptions one makes. If the assumptions are wrong then the whole theory should be pitched.

My primary assumptions are that, using Ken Johnson's theory, the creation date was  Nisan 1, 3925 BC. I have assigned that date as the Vernal Equinox of March 21, 3925 BC. Next, I assume that the earth used to have 360 day years (there is plenty of evidence for this) up until 701 BC when it changed to 365.2422 day years. If I add up the 360 day years plus the 365.2422 day years we will get a sum of years.

Here comes the math. Please feel free to check if I have made any errors or unwarranted assumptions. I use this website to calculate the amount of time passed:

https://www.calculateconvert.com/calculators/date/history.php?era2=bcbce&month2=03&day2=20&year2=701&era=adce&month=04&day=01&year=2022

So, from March 21, 3925 BC to March 21, 701 BC is 3224  365.2422 day years. I believe that they are actually 360 years so we need to change that. Therefore: ((3224 × 365.2422)/360 = 3270.94681 360 day years.

Next, we shall go from March 20, 701 BC (I believe you descend when calculating BC dates) to April 1, 2022 using 365.2422 year days. Therefore: Using that website, we have 994,209 days. (994,209 ÷365.2422 = 2722.05402  365.2422 day years.

Now simply add them together. Therefore: (3270.94681 + 2722.05402 = 5,993.00083 years. The fraction .00083 works out to about .3 of a day.

Therefore, April 1st or close to that date could possibly be the the start of year 5993. Perhaps when Yeshua said if the days were not shortened that no flesh would survive was in reference to the 360 day years at the start of creation until 701 BC.

Anyway, *whew* Please tell me what you think and help refine this theory.

Like Blue, I’m easy!
I sense we are getting close!  From the first day of Spring forward and no later than the last day of Israel’s 73rd year!  That’s my guess!

Again, all theories cannot be expressed as authoritative in any sense!  We continue to study and search out the matter!

Let it be so!!!!!

Sounds GREAT to me! :good:     I had my eyes on Easter but the sooner the better!   I will pre-plan my meals accordingly to this schedule as well.  So that will be a Friday … Do we stay alert for a morning departure flight or an evening one?

Did anyone get snow?  Today we got another 5 inches  … so sick of dealing with 5 months of cabin fever …

Easter also looms large as a likely choice, giving notice to the whole world!

We are all holding our breaths and keeping our fingers crossed!

As we mourn the passing of man as a loved one who has passed on, we are also comforted by the hope we have in Christ Jesus!

This ongoing universal cycle of life and death will culminate into an eternal fixed and unchanged state!

With the glories of God finally revealed!  And our destiny’s forever fixed!

All honor, glory and praise to God Almighty!

April 1st is Nisan 10 on the Dead Sea Scrolls Calendar. It is a significant day for a number of reasons.

From a comment on Unsealed org:

M1D10 is not only the day that the Priests would go to Bethany to select the unblemished lamb of the first year for the Passover and return it to Jerusalem, it is also the day Jesus travelled from Bethany to Jerusalem at His triumphant entry. It is also the day G-D stopped up the waters of the Jordan River allowing Joshua to lead Israel into the Promised Land on dry ground.

I was playing around with dates and years while eating lunch... not trying to figure out an exact date, but just another way of looking at the time frame besides what Arthur started the thread with.  Then I read or reread an article or two from Randy Nettles that speculated along the same lines I was thinking, so what follows is a mixture of all that...

I'm totally onboard with the 6,000 year theory, and also think it's very, very significant that we're coming up on the 2,000 year anniversary of Jesus' crucifixion (solar years here, of course).  But what year did that happen?  Most things I've read say either 32 or 33 AD.  So let's say He returns the fall of the anniversary year, that would put the Second Coming in the fall of 2032 or 2033.  Therefore, the Tribulation could start in the fall of 2025 or 2026.  The AOD would then be in the spring of 2029 or 2030.

Going back from there, I'm thinking of the burning of weapons for seven years from Ezekiel.  If that concludes before the AOD, the latest dates for that battle would be either this spring or next spring.

With a likely upcoming attack on Iran's nuclear sites and possibly even Isaiah 17 both being imminent, things could move very quickly into place for Ezekiel, even if Russia is currently tied up in Ukraine and Turkey is acting less hostile than normal to Israel.  This spring might be a stretch, but I don't think next spring is.   I do think the Church will be out of here before Ezekiel happens, so the Rapture is basically any day now.  One day soon, it will be THAT day!

I was also listening to Andy Woods the other day -- he makes what I think is a very strong case for the players in Ezekiel including and being led by Russia.  He also takes the description of the armies in Ezekiel literally, to include actual horses, possibly due to the terrain.  Some interesting rabbit trails my mind is going down with that one...
