I am curious to find out the date of Jesus' return and the rapture too. This morning I was re-reading Zechariah 1. On the 24th day of eleventh month, God clearly indicates His 70 years indignation is over with Israel, and he is coming back on that day. Now, from 605 BC the first deportation began , to the decree Cyrus gave forth in 539 BC, there have been 66 years went by. Minus 66 years from 70 years indignation, we still have 3.5 years left to be fulfilled. These 3.5 years represent the second half of tribulation. When this 3.5 years is up, so does the total of 70 years indignation is over. And if the 24th of eleventh month has any significance, it wraps up the 70 years indignation on that day. Simply put, God is returning on the 24th day of eleventh month. Take the 24th day of 11th month in 2027 for example, Jesus is returning on Feb 1 2027. Adding 30 plus 45 days day, we come to Nisan 10 April 17 as the end of tribulation. My speculation is Marriage Supper of the Lamb shall be celebrated few days later on Nisan 14, on God's kingdom which points to this earth. Subtracting 2520 days from April 17 2027, we come to May 23 2020 as the possible day for rapture and tribulation to begin. Now, this is purely my speculation that Jesus is returning on the 24th day of 11th month. But I find it fascinating that there are 75 days separating that day and Nisan 10, the triumphal entry of Jesus to Jerusalem. Well I’m still hoping for a 2019 rapture but it is interesting with the formula numbers you just discovered. I glanced at the calendar and noticed May 23, 2020 falls on a Saturday ... but its not just any weekend ... its Memorial Weekend. What a Memorial that would be ... flying out of here to our eternal home! :whistle: I believe the 70 years of indignation is 70 biblical years which equals to 70 X 360 days . Babylon captured Jerusalem on and around October 605 BC. From Ezra 3 we learn that Israelis arrived in Jerusalem in the seventh month which corresponds to September. And it's common belief that it would take them 5 to 6 months to journey from Babylon to Jerusalem. That places their departure in April Nisan 539 BC.when the decree gave forth. Between October 605 BC and April 539 BC, there are 66.5 biblical years or 23940 days. That leaves a 3.5 biblical years or 1260 days to be fulfilled per 70 biblical years of indignation. And it shall be fulfilled in the second half of tribulation. Indeed Rosh Hashanah is a contender for the day of our departure, but then again there are a half dozen of other days which could easily accommodate the Rapture! We are grasping as straws for sure. The fact that we are waiting and watching with bated breath is enough for the Lord to know our hearts! All we can do is to continue and persevere until the trumpet is sounded!!! I still wait to hear directly from God, concerning the Rapture! TR A friend of mine is using a different Jewish calendar having Feast of Trumpets a month early and is hoping for the rapture this weekend! :flyup:
