Kent — so I get startled out of sleep on some mornings at 0400 as the bridge horn will blow to alarm cars that the bridge is lifting for the morning tug and sailboats to go through on their way to the bay or ocean. :calvin I am wondering if the rough draft of the COP 28 covenant (ready October 31) will include dividing Israel and that may be the beginning of judgement. But, in order for it to be included in the rough draft, it will need to be agreed to before hand. So maybe October 24 could be when they agree to it and we exit that day. October 24 is the day they entered the ark. What is interesting about that date is...for the folks that say the calendar is off a month, it is Day of Atonement. Sounds GREAT! I’m circling it on my calendar :mail: And if not … 7 days later will be October 31st when the rain / flood waters began. Getting ready for the trumpet to sound -- training my ears to hear -- 4 minute clip Why 30 AD Still Makes The Most Sense Rapture Hopefully Soon Interesting Comments: Yep Aaron, it's tough to move away from the 30AD crucifixion date. The destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70AD is pretty solid and 40 years back (according to the Ezekiel prophesy) plonks you smack-dab on 30AD. If you abandon 30AD as the anchor year, then a pile of OT prophesies go out the window. Maranatha and God Bless!!! I believe Jesus was born in the early fall of 5 BC, which makes him have 4 birthdays in BC, and in 30 AD, he would not turn 34 until the fall, so was 33-1/2 when He was crucified in the spring of 30 AD. However, I don't believe Herod the Great died until 1 BC, but he had a disease (kidney) that worsened over time for a few years prior to his death. Matthew 2:9-11 says the wise men followed the star where it stopped over the house where the young child lived in Nazareth. By this time Jesus had already been circumcised and sacrifices made at the temple in Jerusalem for Mary's cleansing ritual 40 days after the birth while the wise men were yet traveling to Jerusalem to ask Herod where (verse 2) the King of the Jews was born so they could worship Him. By that time Jesus could have been at least a year or so old (not a newborn but a young child) by the time Herod decreed to have all boy babies killed 2 and under. This brings the year to possibly 3 BC by the time an angel told Joseph in a dream to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt for protection and not to return until he tells them Herod is dead. If it was spring of 3 BC when they went (Jesus age 1-1/2) and Herod died in early 1 BC, Jesus would have been in Egypt a couple years (3 BC-1 BC) before the angel told Joseph to return to Israel. Jesus would have been 3-1/2 in early 1 BC (turn 4 in fall of 1 BC). This sounds more plausible, to me so that the trip to Egypt and back and Herod's death could fit in. Right. The fact that there was no year "0" can trip up the math, if one forgets to subtract 1 to make up for it. 4 BC to 30 AD is 33 years (not 34). - Fair Use - Also, God likes the number 40, not 41 or 42. Who ever heard of it raining 41 days and 41 nights? :yes: 😉
