Nothing dogmatic about this but it's worth taking a look at. Assume Jesus was crucified on 4/25/31 and this was the end of His ministry. If Jesus was given the same amount of time for His ministry as Satan is given for his reign of Antichrist (42 lunar months or 1260 days from Revelation 13:5) then the beginning of Jesus ministry at His baptism would have occurred on 11/12/27. If we believe that Messiah was revealed at the 4000 year mark from creation with His baptism and that His return will be at the 6000 year mark then 11/12/27 plus 2000 years would be 11/12/2027. A correction is needed because 10 days were added to the calendar in 1582 to switch from Julian to Gregorian timing. Therefore His return would be 11/2/2027. If a pre-tribulation rapture were to occur exactly seven years prior to His return then the date would be approximately 11/2/2020. Points that will be argued with this analysis will be the date of the crucifixion, the length of His ministry, the idea of the 1000 years for a day theory and other items I’m sure but this is put out there as-is so take it any way you like. :amen: Ark Day?! TR Any days OK with me. It could be argued that His ministry extended beyond the crucifixion if He was ministering to those in Abraham's bosom while in the grave so maybe 11/2/2020 to 11/5/2020 window. Using the date calculator, if we subtract 2520 days from Nov. 2, 2027 we would be at December 8th. So if we just figure 2520 days as the time of the trib, then we could conclude that the Trib must begin no later than Dec. 8th if the thought of the second coming were to be about Nov. 2, 2027 (excluding the extra days mentioned in Daniel about those being blessed who are there an extra 75). I had figured some time ago that if the Lord were to return for the second coming on FOT, that the trib would have to begin by Nov. 7th, by using just the 2520 number. We are closing in on that time very quickly since of course we must be gone prior to this happening. I was talking to my hubby last night about the feeling of let down since the feast days had passed and we remain here, and I said "it's just because traditionally they are such high watch times"; and he said to me "hon, every day is a high watch day if you stop and consider all that is going on and what scripture says". This was such an encouragement to me since I have been a watcher much longer than he, by this we know that the Spirit speaks truth to our hearts and that he has placed that knowledge within us to know that our departure is sooooo soon!! I'm using solar years not 360 day years. Intercalation kicks in after 3.5 years and a month is added so technically it would be 2520 plus 30 = 2550. Solar would be 2556 over a seven year period.
