If my speculation is correct, Jesus shall come back at the end of 70 jubilees, that is, Passover 2026. Assuming 2520 days ends on Passover 2026, subtracting 2520 days from that day, we come to May 9 2019 as the possible date for rapture. But according to Isaiah 66 verse 20 to 21, there shall be an offering on the holy mountain Jerusalem after Jesus returns. This offering reminds me of the Jewish traditional holiday Shavuot during which an offering takes place. Having said this, my attention turns to Shavuot 2026 as the end of 2520 days. Subtracting 2520 days from Shavuot 2026, we come to June 28/29 this year as the possible date for rapture. Isaiah 66:20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. 21And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. Concerning this offering, my speculation is that the remnants of Israel and the saved gentiles represent the two loaves of bread, with Jesus being the High Priest. Jesus offers us to his heavenly Father on that day. Shavuot 2026 is also the end of my 1335 days. The only good thing about leaving the end of June this year vs the first week of May is that historically May and June have always been my absolutely favorite months of the year. So seven extra weeks...? What's seven weeks more or less among us good Christian friends? Well... y'all are great, but I prefer Jesus sooner. I'ts an impatience problem we're all here suffering from. Or maybe it's just me. :groan :prayer-hands: NOT! 😉 IF (the key operative word) the Lord truly views a generation as 70 years (and I'll embed a very compelling message from Pastor Sandy below on this subject--disclaimer that I don't necessarily agree with Pastor Sandy on all his views), and IF the fig tree of Matthew 24 represents Israel being reborn on 5/14/48, as many of us believe, then I don't see how we go past 5/13/19, when Israel would turn 71. Our God has proven way too many times that He is a God of precision and leaves nothing to "chance". When I suggest 2520 days wraps up on Shavuot 2026, I am not suggesting Jesus returns on Shavuot 2026. Rather, Jesus still comes back on Nisan 15 2026, one day after Passover. June 28 2019 Rapture ----- 2470 days ----- Nisan 15 April 2 2026 Jesus returns to earth------ 50 days ---- Shavuot May 22 2026 End of 2520 days During the 50 days, Jesus captures the beast and the false prophet, throws them into the lake of fire. He also gathers the nations into the valley of Jehoshaphat, to plead with them for parting his land and scattered his people. He shall also restore and builds Jerusalem. This 50 days quickly reminds me of the 7 weeks in Daniel 9:25. Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Many of us have been puzzled by the 7 weeks. What is the purpose of God inserting the 7 weeks, which is to single out Jerusalem shall be built again during these 7 weeks? Seventy weeks began on Nisan 1 445 BC. When we add seven weeks 7 X 7 X 360 days or 17640 days to that day, we come to July 1 397 BC. There is no historical and biblical records which proves Jerusalem was restored and rebuilt during that period, lest to say those were the troublous times for the Jews. Now, using my 50 days can explain the purpose of inserting seven weeks, and bear in mind that some of God's words holds dual prophecy fulfillment. Week is Hebrew word shabua. It can be interpreted as seven years, or seven days. When it is interpreted as seven day, then seven weeks becomes seven ( seven days ) or simply 49 days. When Jesus returns on Nisan 15 2026, this is the first day of commandment to restore and build Jerusalem, Seven ( seven days ) or 49 days takes us to May 21 which is the eve of Shavuot 2026, so that the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. On sundown May 21, an offering shall take place. This scenario may explain the purpose of God inserting the seven weeks in Daniel 9:25. Watchman35, I believe the correct counting of 70 years begins from 1949, not 1948, simply because Israel was at war with her Arab neighbors between 1948 and 1949. The last armistice agreement with Syria came in July 1949. Only in 1949 could the Jews enjoy their peaceful settlement, and the subsequent influx of Jewish migrants from all over the world. ~~ ~ This is stunning info ~~ June 28 2019 Rapture —– 2470 days —– Nisan 15 April 2 2026 Jesus returns to earth—— 50 days —- Shavuot May 22 2026 End of 2520 days On this timeline, if rapture does take place on June 28 this year, the left behind shall have two assumptions of when Jesus shall come back. First assumption is to add 7 years to June 28 2019 and comes to June 28 2026. Second assumption is to add 2520 days to June 28 2019 which comes to Shavuot May 22 2026. But in Revelation 16 Jesus forewarns the tribulation saints that his return is like a thief in the night. If they don't watch it shall catch them by surprise. It simply means his return is out of any logical calculation. Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. It does look like while the gathering of kings and armies taking place in Armageddon, Jesus suddenly returns and catches all of them by surprise. Take my timeline for example, he returns on Nisan 15 2026, at the end of 2470 days, not 2520 days or 7 years later, not the date they are expecting. Also, is this what Jesus meant by saying he shall cut short those days, that is, he shall return before 2520 days? Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, Any left behind who studies the above verse shall know that Jesus shall come back to mount of Olives, including AC and the false prophet. If they want to battle with Jesus, they should gather kings and armies in Jerusalem, not the valley of Megiddo. My last comment may explain this scenario. To the north of Jerusalem, lies a very large piece of valley Megiddo which can accommodate millions of armies. The gathering takes place in that valley so that they can march toward Jerusalem once the gathering is finished. While the gathering is going on, "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, " Jesus suddenly returns to mount Olives. And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword which smites all the nations. Moreover, when we study scriptures more carefully, we only see a gathering into a place called Armageddon. There is no suggestion that a battle shall be fought there. Having said this, While the gathering is going on in the valley of Megiddo, Jesus suddenly returns to Mount Olives. His return is like a thief in the night, and shall catch many people a surprise. His return cannot be calculated based on any logical calculation. Bump -- just because... :yahoo:
