    2. 2015 to 2022,
    3. 2022 to 2029

    As I look at the approaching date of Sept. 14, 2015 Feast of Trumpets, I find it hard to believe that construction on the 3rd Temple will begin by 2015 as well as the global implementation of the implant to be able to buy and sell. So like many were disappointed by the name of the new Pope not fulfilling the Malchy Prophecy, many Christians will be disturbed by when 2015 rolls around and nothing happens.

    The last possible year for the Vatican to be nuked is 2019 since the first half of the 7 years is from 2015 to 2019 (second half is 2019 to 2022), and Rev. 17.16 takes place in the first half . This will be a major mind twist if the prophecy of the Tetrads passes us by uneventful.

    What does this mean? Firstly, it tells us that "right at the door" (Matt. 24.33) is more than a lifetime of 70 to 80 years (Ps. 90.10). And if it is longer than a lifetime then it could refer to an indefinite period of time where nobody can know the day of the Lord when it begins, thusly, when the first rapture according to readiness takes place (Luke 21.36, Rev. 3.10).

    God is always throwing things for a loop, but we can be confident and comforted His way is always best even though many signs appear to be pointing to specific dates and times with our human reasoning. The next period to look for is 2029 to 2036 surrounding the massive asteroid that comes within satellite distance of the earth.

    Though "the impact odds as they stand now are less than one in a million, which makes us comfortable saying we can effectively rule out an Earth impact in 2036,” Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office, said in a statement. The office is based at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

    But there is one factor that stands out to me more than anything. It is that Rev. 6.12 occurs shortly before the Tribulation. If these 3 events in this verse by all accounts are 2010-2015 then it stands to reason it will not be that many years after for Daniel's final seven to take place lasting 7 years.

    Therefore, we can conclude at the absolute outside the Tribulation must begin by the end of this decade even though that seems quite unreasonable because it ought to be linked to the Tetrads and within a lifetime from 1948.

    The data suggests that the Tribulation should start Sept. 14, 2015 on Feast of Trumpets, but the problem is: (a) the implant under the skin is not widely distributed by then, and (b) 3rd Temple construction won't be completed by 2016 with 2300 days left to the Tribulation.

    There is in fact a 7 year preparation before the Tribulation begins. So I see the 2,520 days from 2022 to 2029. Sept. 26 Feast of Trumpets, 2022 to Day of Atonement Sept. 19, 2029 is exactly 2,550 days. 7 years x 360 = 2,520 days. Day of Atonement is 30 days more so 2,550 days. From the 1260th day to the 1290th day Jesus judges the nations.

    I got this adjustment of a 7 year preparation period from this site:


    http://freestockphotos.com/COMING1/2030SecondComing.htm

    The story of Joseph may predict a seven year period of abundance given to prepare for the Tribulation.

    Joseph was told that there would be seven years of abundance to prepare Egypt for the seven years of famine that would follow. Genesis 41:25-49. This may be a prophetic type of a seven year period of abundance that will precede the Tribulation as a time for the Church and Israel to prepare. This principal of Divine warning to make preparation for a specified period of tribulation is seen in other Biblical examples:

    • Noah was warned to prepare food and enter the ark 7 days before the flood began.
    • Rahab was warned 7 days before the battle of Jericho and so made plans to safeguard her family. She was taken out by the two spies after the 7th trumpet on the 7th day.
    • Israel was warned to prepare provisions 7 days before they crossed the Jordan to Jericho.
    • Elisha warned the Shunamite woman about the 7 year famine that was about to occur.
    • Israel was promised abundant crops before the land was rested on the Sabbatical Year.

    2. Antichrist and False Prophet

    I Have Some Questions Regarding 2 Thessalonians 2
    Who is Holding Back the Antichrist?


    Events prior to the Lord’s Second Coming

    1 Now, dear brothers and sisters, [fn1] let us clarify some things about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we will be gathered to meet him. 2 Don’t be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun. Don’t believe them, even if they claim to have had a spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us. 3 Don’t be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness [fn2] is revealed—the one who brings destruction. [fn3] 4 He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.

    5 Don’t you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you? 6 And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. 7 For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way. 8 Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.

    9 This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. 10 He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them. 11 So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. 12 Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.

    Believers Should Stand Firm
    13 As for us, we can’t help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first [fn4] to experience salvation—a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth. 14 He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    15 With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter.

    16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, 17 comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.

    Footnotes:
    2:1 Greek brothers; also in 2:13, 15.
    2:3 Some manuscripts read the man of sin.
    2:3 Greek the son of destruction.
    2:13 Some manuscripts read chose you from the very beginning

    Question 1
    What is holding the Antichrist back? (v.6) Satan, obviously, because the opportune time has not presented itself.

    Question 2
    The spirit of antichrist is already here secretly working. Is God or Satan keeping it a secret? (v.7) Satan, obviously. It is not God's will this be hidden. He wants evil exposed.

    Question 3
    God is always working so who steps out of the way from exaltation to give glory to the son of destruction? (v.7) Satan of course, because his masterpiece, the son of perdition, will be brought forth.

    Question 4
    Why is Satan withholding? Because he is waiting for the maximum effect for world destruction. He could have conspired many years ago the destruction of the Vatican with a nuclear bomb, but that is deserved for the 268th Pope according to the Malachy Prophecy within the next couple of years during the first half of the Tribulation 2015-2019.

    Question 5
    Is the calling in verse 14 irresistibly imposed or is this calling foreknown by God foreknowing our free choice how we would respond? The latter, obviously, since Calvinists don't genuinely give their lives to Christ, but instead pompously and pridefully assume they were irresistibly selected just as Satan's elect do (cf. Hitler's Aryan race in which the Jews were given no opportunity for salvation, but passed over. What love is this?).

    Consider what Watchman Nee wrote further about the "one that restraineth".

    2. Runing the Race

    Must Love All Mankind
    One

    Those who work the work of the Lord must not only love the brethren but also love all mankind. "Whoso mocketh the poor," said Solomon, "reproacheth his Maker" (Prov. 17.5a). All men are created by God; therefore all are to be loved. If a worker does not have sufficient love for the brethren, or if he has the love of the brethren but no love for mankind in general, he is not qualified to serve God. For loving men or showing love to men is an essential quality to have in God’s service. All who view people with annoyance and despise them are definitely unfit to be the Lord’s servants.

    We ought to see that though all men have fallen, they are nonetheless the object of the redemption of our Lord Jesus inasmuch as they were all created by God. In spite of their hardness of heart, the Holy Spirit still convicts them. The Lord Jesus came to this earth; He came to be a man. Like the rest of mankind, He grew up gradually from birth to maturity. For God intends to set up on earth a Model Man, a Representative Man—one upon whom rests all the purposes of God. After the ascension of the Lord Jesus, the church came into being, and yet the church is but the formation of a new man. The whole plan of redemption is to exalt and glorify men.

    One day when we come to a deeper understanding of the word of God, we shall find the term "man" more palatable than even the term "the children of God." For we shall realize that God’s preordained plan and election is to obtain a glorious man. As we gradually perceive the place of man in God’s plan as constituting the focus of His counsel, and when we truly see God humbling himself to be a man, we shall be impressed with the preciousness of man. While our Lord Jesus was on earth He declared that "the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many" (Mark 10.45). The word the Lord says here is so plain: the Son of man comes to serve men. The Son of God becomes the Son of man on earth in order to serve men. Thus are we shown the attitude of the Lord Jesus towards mankind.

    Many who work for God have a serious deficiency, which is, that they are totally lacking in the love of humanity. They lack the proper respect towards men, and they lack as well a knowledge of the value of man in God’s sight. Today we feel elated because we seem to have learned a little love for the brethren. Formerly, we loved no one; now, we can show our love towards the brethren by doing something for them. No wonder we are high-spirited. Yet this is far from sufficient. We need to be so enlarged by God that we come to see that all people are to be loved and valued. Whether or not you are successful in your future work for God depends chiefly on your attitude towards the value of man. The depth of your work is to be measured by your interest and feeling towards

    2. Regeneration

    We should always have in mind that as the servants of God we must not withhold our love in a place until some Christian brethren arrive on the scene. All who hold this misconception—namely, that their love is to be reserved for the brethren only—are unable to do the work of God. Let it be known and unequivocally declared that the love of the brethren comes afterwards, and that it is a totally different proposition.

    You need to have a love for the generality of mankind and a compassion towards them. For John 3.16 makes plain that "God so loved the world." What is "the world" here? It refers to all the people in the world, including the unsaved and ignorant. Those whom God loves are the people of the entire world. He loves every one on the earth. If you are not interested in a person whom God loves, and furthermore, if you will love him only after he becomes a Christian brother, your disposition is quite different from the Lord’s; and therefore, you cannot serve God.

    Your heart will need to be expanded to such a degree that you feel that all people are to be
    loved. As long as this one or that one is a person, you love him. And only then shall you be qualified to serve God. (The Character of God's Workman, pp. 22-23, CFP white cover only.)

    Why does the tribulation period have to start on the same day as the rapture? The tribulation kicks off with the confirming of a covenant (Dan. 9:27), but with all the chaos of the rapture and what it would bring to the world with millions suddenly disappearing, it seems unlikely that the world will be concerned with a treaty on that day. The fact that the anti-christ is able to confirm one at all lends to his unbelievable power during that time. I just think the rapture could happen and it be some time, perhaps even the 1 year anniversary on the next feast of trumpets for the anti-christ to make his move. This might put the rapture in 2013 or 2014. Then 2015 could still fit, and this truly would fulfill Jesus' words in Mat. 24 that no one knew the day or the hour, because it was not specifically on the day the tribulation starts.

    I would be interested to hear your opinion on this, please just explain why tribulation Must start same day as rapture.

    Thank you so much for your dedication, I look forward to hearing more. I preach anywhere I'm invited of the soon coming of Jesus, your website has helped tremendously.
    Some reasons why the first rapture is not a year or two before the Tribulation starts:

    1) Rev. 7.9 are the overcomers (not all Christians) "before throne" in 3rd heaven by being first raptured before the Tribulation starts. Then "when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour" (8.1) not a year or two. The Tribulation is "7 trumpets" (v.2). Then the "first angel sounded" (v.7) for the 1st trumpet. Only those Christians who were watchful (Matt. 24.42), prayerful (Luke 21.36) and keep the word of His patience (Rev. 3.10) will escape the hour of trial that is to come upon the whole world by being raptured beforehand.

    2) Sept. 14, 2015 Feast of Trumpets is that day during the Total Lunar Tetrad. It can't be Sept. 5, 2013 because the Tetrad has not started yet by then.

    3) Sept. 25, 2014 is not feasible because there are seven sets of seven (17,640 days) from June 7, 1967 to the Day of Atonement Sept. 23, 2015. Therefore, 2015 should be the year of the first rapture.

    4) Satan reacts to this most spectacular event as he knows then his time is short so the 2,520 days begins on this day to start the countdown. The 2,520th day is Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022 when the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed. Jesus steps down on Aug. 7, 2022 (the 1260th day) to reign in the 3rd Temple newly constructed.

    5) "Our gathering together unto him.... Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition" (2 Thess. 2.1,3). First the Antichrist is revealed, known by his covenant or peace treaty for 7 years.

    From the 1260th day to the 1290th day the Son of Man judges the nations. Then 45 days more to the 1335th day He sets up Israel as the center of all nations. The 1335th day is Oct. 21, 2022 after Tabernacles. Simchat Torah is Oct 18. There is an interesting congruency because there again is seen the 4 days of inspection from Oct. 18 to Oct. 21.

    The Temple must be completed with 2300 days (Dan. 8.14) left to Tisha B'Av. There are exactly 2300 days from the 4th day inspection of the lamb April 21, 2016 (Passover is Friday April 22) to Aug. 7, 2022. Thus, the Temple must be completed by April 20, 2016. There are 220 days from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to April 20, 2016. 2300 + 220 = 2,520 days.

    2. 2015 to 2022

    Does the Bible give us any clue as to when Jesus returns?

    Jesus said, "You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?" (Luke 12.56)

    "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh" (Matt. 24.32).

    The word “now” marks the beginning of the second part. Since the Lord gives this part of His prophecy on the Mount of Olives—a place where there are many fig trees—He quite naturally could use the fig tree as an illustration.

    “When her branch is now become tender”—This speaks of the return of life. “And putteth forth its leaves”—This means the manifestation of life.

    The fig tree represents the Jews (Jer. 24.2,5,8). Earlier the Lord had cursed the fig tree which possessed only leaves but had no fruit. In reality the curse was upon the Jews who possessed the outward rituals but had no reality.

    "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away" (Matt. 21.19).

    "And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet" (Mark 11.13).

    “Summer” (Matt. 24.32) is the season of growth as winter is the season of withering and death. In the summer, life shows its greatest vigor, the air is warm, and the days are bright. It is a golden season, and therefore it stands for the kingdom.

    The Jews today are in the winter time. Winter points to tribulation, particularly the Great Tribulation. Spring speaks of rapture (see S.S. 2.10-14); summer speaks of the kingdom (see Luke 21.30-31). In Luke 21.29-30 we have the words “and all the trees”—which phrase represents the nations (see Daniel 4.10-17 and Judges 9.8-15). When “all the trees ... now shoot forth” (Luke 21.29-30), this is a signifying that nationalism will have been greatly developed among many peoples and nations.

    Let us understand that the preceding verses in Matt. 24.4-31 form a part and are not a break with what follows; and hence the thoughts in the earlier part are continuous into the next. The major difference between 24.4-31 and 24.32-25.46 lies in this: that the one part speaks about the Jews while the other part speaks about the church.

    “All these things” (v.33)—Such words should be connected with 23.36 (“All these things shall come upon this generation”), with 24.6 (“these things”), and with 24.8 (“all these things”). “All these things” have reference to the beginning of tribulation these past 20 centuries, as reflected in such things as false Christs, wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, and so forth.

    “He is nigh” (v.32)—“It is nigh” (mg.) is the more accurate rendering of this phrase in the Greek text. The “it” points to the kingdom. The kingdom is near, “even at the doors”: this agrees with Luke—“Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh” (21.31).

    We know Jesus returns soon after Israel becomes a nation again because Matt. 24 says "the fig tree" representing Israel "when his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near" (v.32) pointing to the millennial kingdom when Jesus reigns on earth in person.

    How long has Israel's branch been tender? Certainly no later than May 14, 1948 when she became a nation again. The nearness of the summer would in the backdrop of the past 2000 years not be longer than a lifetime which is 75 years according to Ps. 90.10; not a generation of 30 to 40 years, but a lifetime of 70 to 80 years in the context of a wicked generation that continues to this day and up to the point when Jesus returns.

    "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors" (v.33).

    What things? Israel a nation again as described by the "holy place" (v.15) of the 3rd Temple in Israel and to be built by the Israelites.

    In order to determine when the 7-year Tribulation starts we need to observe specific events first that must take place, before that great and terrible day of the Lord.

    The parousia of our Lord (and commencement of the day of the Lord that spans the 7 years of the Tribulation) begins with overcomer Christians raptured first to 3rd heaven "before the throne" (Rev. 7.9) for keeping the word of His patience (3.10) before the 1st trumpet (8.7) of the Tribulation. He then comes on the clouds through the Tribulation period followed by meeting the saints "to meet the Lord in the air" at the start of the last trumpet (11.15; 1 Thess. 4.14-18; cf. 1 Cor. 15.23,50-52). After all this, He finally steps down on the mount of olives to return just as He left (Zech. 14.4, Acts 1.11, Rev. 1.7).

    We find complete harmony in Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20 and Rev. 6.12.

    "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come" (Joel 2.31). "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come" (Acts 2.20). "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood" (Rev. 6.12).

    Would the earthquakes in Haiti 2010 and Japan 2011 qualify as a great earthquake? 320,000 people died in Haiti, 2nd most deaths of any earthquake in history, and the most deaths per capita (1 in 27 people). The earthquake in Japan was the 4th greatest we have ever recorded in history in magnitude. It was the greatest financial loss, and all 50+ of its nuclear power plants were shut down. Back to back, year over year, never has such devastation ever occurred.

    We know that in 2014/15 is the the 8th feast red blood moon Total Lunar Tetrad since Christ on passover, tabernacles and again on passover, tabernacles. It won't happen again for nearly 600 years 2582/83. The 6th was when Israel became a nation (1949/50) and the 7th was was when Israel entered Jerusalem (1967/68). Armistice treaty was signed in 1949.

    What are the chances a unique black sackcloth sun total solar eclipse will occur in proper sequence in between, that is in the year 2012 or 2013?

    There are 4 kinds of solar eclipses, the rarest which is the Hybrid occurring about 5% of the time. And there are 3 kinds of Hybrids, the rarest which is the H3 occurring 5% of that 5% so it is the rarest of all solar eclipses. The H3 concludes as a total solar eclipse to produce that black sackcloth effect. It is even more rare when it is a long version according to NASA when it lasts for 1 minute 30 seconds or more. On Nov. 3, 2013 there is just such a long H3--the 4th since Christ. It won't happen again till 2172.

    So, in conclusion, just before the the Tribulation these 3 events take place in exact order. What immediately follows is the Tribulation that lasts 7 years concurrent with Daniel's final seven of 2,520 days (Dan. 9.27). Incidentally 2,520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 2 to 10. Take notice!

    There are 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022. Tisha B'Av was when the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed. Jesus returns to reign in the 3rd Temple on earth for 1000 years.

    Many people say you can't know when Jesus returns, but is that fair? We were able to know when Jesus would be cut off to the day (Friday, Nisan 14, Passover, April 1, 33 AD Gregorian, April Fool's Day) centuries before He died on the cross by Daniel's prophecy. We were able to know the month and year when Israel would become a nation again (May, 1948) because of Ezekiel's prophecy on his side. Similarly, we can know the day Jesus steps down on the mount of olives by the prophecy of the Tetrads, Daniel's final seven and partial rapture combined. I thought I would try a post without getting into as much details as I normally do so you can appreciate the basic working proof and not get bogged down by too much data.

    When people say you can't know the day or hour of when Jesus returns, I concede we can't know the hour like when your friend is to come over today but you don't know the hour. We can't know the day the Bible says if we are carnal Christians. The world can't know for they don't love Lord. We couldn't know before the time Israel became a nation again. And we shouldn't confuse the end of the world which we can't know with when Jesus returns which we can "know" even the very day "right at the door" (Matt. 24.33) once Israel is a nation again (v.32).

    Jesus would certainly return within a lifetime "right at the door." Rev. 6.12 occurs just before the Tribulation starts, before the great and terrible day of the Lord which spans Daniel's final seven. What then must occur?

    Three events must occur: A great earthquake. The earthquake in Haiti in 2010 had the second most deaths of any earthquake in history at 320,000 souls. The 4th greatest earthquake in history in terms of magnitude occurred in Japan, 2011. All 50+ nuclear power plants were shut down and it was the greatest financial loss in history.

    We know the feast Total Lunar Tetrad that occurs on passover and tabernacles, and again on passover and tabernacles, is 2014/15, the 8th since Christ. The 6th was when Israel became a nation and the 7th was when Israel entered Jerusalem. It won't happen again till 2582/83. 2014/15 will be the time of when the 3rd Temple construction begins to remain consistent with the 1949/50 and 1967/68 Tetrads, and it will also be the time the Tribulation starts, because the 3 events in Rev. 6.12 (Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20) occur right before the Tribulation starts with its first trumpet (8.7).

    If there is no major solar eclipse between 2010/11 and 2014/15 according to Rev. 6.12 then the whole proof falls on its head. The rarest of all solar eclipses of which there are 4 kinds occurs about 5% of the time, called the Hybrid. And there are three kinds of Hybrids, the rarest which is the H3 also occurring about 5% of the time. An H3 starts off as a partial and completes itself as a total eclipse to produce that black sackcloth effect. As it turns to my amazement on Nov. 3, 2013 we will witness an H3 solar eclipse. And they are even more rare when they are considered long-dated which means according to NASA they last more than 1 minute and 30 seconds. The H3 on this date is just such an eclipse. This one will be the 4th since Christ. It won't happen again till 2172/73.

    If it wasn't for the necessity of these events to take place and in exact order I would think nothing of it, but they do happen in the precise order as required by Rev. 6.12 before the Tribulation starts. Logically, therefore, the Tribulation can't start before 2015.

    If it were to start in 2015 it would need to be completed in 2022 to span a full 2,520 days (7 x 360) according to Dan. 9.27 to remain consistent with Daniel's 69 sevens. Incidentally, 2520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 2 to 10. 2022 would also be the year the sign of the Son of Man takes place (Matt. 24.30). Nobody really knows what the sign of the Son of Man is so let's just look at 2022 and see if any special cosmic events take place. Two things will occur. In 2022 Jupiter will the be the closest to earth in hundreds of years, visible with the naked eye and apparently, it will be hit by many comets and asteroids which will cause its surface to sparkle in 2022. It will be a sight to behold! Additionally, in 2022 the planets of our solar system will be united in a one third section of the solar system which is also very rare. The last time this happened that I know of was during WWI and WWII. Uncanny!

    Should the 2,520 days of the Tribulation fall on special days? Of course, because that is what occurred in the past. Since the last 3 feasts pertain to when Jesus returns and the first of the last 3 feasts deals with rapture, the Tribulation must begin on Feast of Trumpets. Therefore, the 2,520th day must land on a special day. Again, if there is no special day on the 2,520th day then the whole proof is destroyed and falls on its face. The 2,520th day from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 comes to Sunday, Aug. 7, 2022. Unfortunately, there is no special holiday on this Sunday. However, to my amazement, Tisha B'Av is Aug. 6 (Av 9), but according to the Jews whenever it is dated on a Sabbath it is held the day after instead which is of course Av 10, Aug. 7, 2022. There you have it. It's a miracle! The 2,520th day in 2014-21 and 2016-23 does not land on Tisha B'Av. But is Tisha B'Av very important? It is the day the 1st and 2nd temples were destroyed. We underestimate the significance of this day, not appreciating it is the day Jesus returns to reign in the 3rd Temple on earth in person for 1000 years. Praise the Lord!

    Now that we know when the Tribulation starts and when Jesus returns, what should we do about it? All this knowledge God affords us in these latter days is to spiritually motivate us so that if we are watchful (Matt. 24.40-42), prayerful (Luke 21.36) and keep the word of His patience (Rev. 3.10) we can escape the hour of trial that is to come upon the whole world to be first raptured to 3rd heaven "before the throne" (7.9) before the 1st trumpet of the Tribulation (8.7) begins. This is God's promise to Christians who are overcomers. All Christians overcometh but not at the same time: firstfruits (Rev. 14.1-5) then a later harvest (vv.14-16). There are advanced parties and harbingers in every sphere. Not only will overcomers be raptured alive, but they will get to return with Christ (Jude 14,15) to reign over the nations (Rev. 2.26) for 1000 years like the 5 wise virgins (Matt. 25.1-13), whereas the 5 unwise virgins though saved and have eternal life which can never be lost (John 10.28) do not get to receive this reward.

    Thank you Lord Jesus for blessing us with this spiritual knowledge so that we may abide in your word daily and be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to happen. Amen.
