    Since Jesus said we can know when He returns "right at the door" (Matt. 24.33) then how do we figure out when He returns?

    Very simply He returns on the 2,520th day (end of Daniel's final seven) from when the Tribulation starts. 2,520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 2 to 10 as a basic prophetic working unit, and it is 7 years x 360 days per year.

    The last 3 feasts pertain to when Jesus returns. Feast of Trumpets (representing the first rapture according to readiness, Luke 21.36, Rev. 3.10 at 9.7 "before the throne") commences the 7 year Tribulation, and the 2,520th day must land on Tisha B'Av, the day the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed, for Jesus returns to reign in the 3rd Temple for 1000 years on earth with His overcomers. Not all who are saved receive this reward though all saved do get to enter the New City after the 1000 years. Consider this consequences for slothful Christians.

    Furthermore, we know the "branch is tender" (Matt. 24.32) because Israel is a nation again and the Total Lunar Tetrads coincide with when Israel became a nation May 14, 1948 and entered Jerusalem June 7, 1967 as the signs in the heavens. The 8th feast Tetrad since Christ is 2014/15. And there are exactly 2,520 days from Sept. 14 Feast of Trumpets 2015 to Aug. 7 Tisha B'Av 2022. Not so for 2014-21 or 2016-23.

    To further seal the deal, not that we need more proof, the 3 events that occur right before the Tribulation starts (Rev. 6.12) in exact order are the great earthquake (either 320,000 killed in Haiti 2010 or 5th greatest in magnitude, Japan 2011), the blacksackcloth sun Nov. 3, 2013 (rarest of all, the 4th long H3 Hybrid since Christ), and of course the Total Lunar Tetrad 2014/15 that only falls on passover and tabernacles and won't happen again till 2582/83. The H3 won't happen again till 2172.

    If you care to include other evidences like the Malachy Prophecy (religious Rome destroyed in the 1st half of the Tribulation in Rev. 8 in agreement with 17.16), the prophecy of Jubilees, and Ezekiel's prophecy that takes us to exactly May, 1948 when Israel would become a nation again this only strengthens the timeline.

    Considering the last drop of conventional oil is 2035 when 900 billion barrels (current estimate of available oil by industry reports) are used up at an average of 100 million barrels a day, the war over this resource will be a good 15 years before that to control the flow of oil in the middle east. Hence, 200 million military units in the middle east (Rev. 9.16) and the nuclear exchange (v.18). This fits perfectly with the timeline of the 6th and 7th trumpets from Aug. 20, 2020 (ask me how I derive this calculation) to Aug. 7, 2022. Jesus steps down on the mount of olives on the latter date.

    Now that you know this what do you do? "Overcometh" so that you become a spiritual Christian and not a carnal one to receive your reward to be first raptured and return with Christ to reign 1000 years. Many Christians don't care for this reward so they will lose this blessing (Rev. 1.3).

    Pure Logic Proves the Day Jesus Returns

    Rev. 6.12 tells us shortly before the Tribulation starts there must be the rarest of solar eclipses (H3 Solar Eclipse) and rarest of lunar eclipses (Lunar Tetrad) in that order and sealed with a unique earthquake just ahead of the solar eclipse. Furthermore, Jesus returns not long after Israel becomes a nation (Matt. 24.33). Not long after would not be more than a lifetime of 70 to 80 years (Ps. 90.10) after 1948 that takes us to 2018 to 2028. Split the difference we get 2023. And we need to find a 2,520 day period for Daniel's final seven (9.27) because Jesus steps down on that last day.


    The Tetrads when Israel became a nation 1949/50 and entered Jerusalem 1967/68 tell us to look for the next Tetrad to begin rebuilding the Temple which is 2014/15 (8th since Christ). If it doesn't have a unique solar eclipse preceding it then it is not the Tetrad Jesus was talking about (Joel 2.31, Luke 21.25, Acts 2.20, Rev. 6.12). Nov. 3, 2013 is the H3 Solar Eclipse (4th since Christ) and it was sealed by the Haiti 2010 and Japan 2011 earthquakes (greatest in history in certain respects).

    The next Tetrad is not till 2582/83, but it doesn't qualify anyhow because we should not consider 634 years later as "very near" (Matt. 24.33). Besides there is no unique solar eclipse associated to that Tetrad nearly six hundred years from now, and the probability of a record breaking earthquake in 2579-80 is not likely.

    But where can we find a 2,520 day period that is done before 2023? Well, the last 3 feasts of the 7 feasts of Israel pertain to Jesus' return so just like Daniel's 69 sevens were on specific key festival dates, we should expect the same for the last seven since God's word is consistent and will not throw us for a loop. God would not do that to us!

    Feast of Trumpets is the 1st of the three feasts, so it is a good starting point. We need a miracle though for what are the odds of a significant holiday on exactly the 2,520th day from this feast? Not likely at all. And only one or two holidays would really be worthy of that 2,520th day. Well as it turns out, every 7 out of 19 years the 2,520th day lands on Tisha B'Av. What's that? That's when the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed. Certainly of significance considering Jesus will reign in the 3rd Temple on earth for 1000 years. In fact, I can think of no better holiday for the 2,520th day. The 2,520th day actually is on Sunday Av 10 not Av 9 Tisha B'Av, but whenever Tisha B'Av is on a Saturday (Sabbath to the Jews) it is held the day after instead.

    But which 7 year period does this fit into? 2014-21 and 2016-23 don't work. That leaves just 2015-22. That's it then. It is the only possible 7 year period for the Tribulation! Mystery solved. Not too difficult at all. Elementary dear Watson. And of course, other items like the 2300 days (Dan. 8.14), 1260 days (Dan. 9.27; Rev. 11.2, 13.5), 1290 days (Dan. 12.11) and 1335 days (Dan. 12.12) should fit as well by occurring on key dates. As it turns out there are 2300 days from the 4th day inspection of the lamb April 21, 2016 to Aug. 7, 2022. Passover is April 22, 2016. Oct. 21, 2022 is the 1335th day, that is, 75 days from the 1260th day Aug. 7, 2022. Oct. 21, 2022 is after the last 3 feasts (tabernacles is on Oct. 10, 2022) and lands on the 4th day of inspection of the lamb, the Son of Man, who reigns with a "rod of iron". The first day of that four day inspection is Simchat Torah Oct. 18, 2022 when the Torah Scroll is taken out of the Holy of Holies once a year to be read.

    Have you noticed there are so many deceived souls out there who say you can't know when Jesus returns? Satan has them in a bind mentally and spiritually. Why does Jesus let us know when He returns after Israel becomes a nation again? This is special grace given to the last generation because we are approaching very troublous times unlike the world has ever seen or will ever see again. The aim is to make your temple (spirit, soul and body) ready for the Lord so you may be included and received up in the first rapture according to readiness on Sept. 14, 2015 as well as receive the reward of returning with Christ to reign during the 1000 years. Some may find this too distasteful. Nonetheless, the offer is there to us all. If this is not what you want or you do not overcometh in time, you will lose this reward by being sent to outer darkness which has no furnace or fire about it, outside the light of reward of reigning over the nations with Christ for 1000 years. The choice is set before you.

    I'm just a messenger of this truth in God's word like Jeremiah preached 40 years and nobody listened. Few will receive this message. Even fewer will accept it.

    2. Regeneration

    If you are sincere and intellectually honest with yourself you will ask yourself this life changing question. The alternative is to remain eternally separated from your Creator. Free will is not true free will unless you have this choice. You wouldn't want it any other way for anything else is lesser, unsatisfying, insufficient and deficient.

    Since almost all scholars in this field agree based on historical standards the original disciples truly believed they saw Jesus alive from the dead in various group settings and Jesus was the most documented person in antiquity (i.e. 45 sources within 150 years of his death, 17 of which are non-Christian), it is incumbent on you (i.e., burden of proof) to find a naturalistic explanation for the origin of the disciples' beliefs for their eyewitness testimony. Otherwise your faith is blind, self indulgent, illogical and unjustifiable. What say you?

    I hold the same standard for myself that I judge you with. "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again" (Matt. 7.2). But since I give into this evidence I will not be judged for the judgment that comes upon a person who rejects Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, Creator, 2nd Person of the Trinity, died on the cross for the sins of the world (to save whosoever is willing to believe in Him, John 3.16), and resurrected the third day to give everlasting life-eternal life as opposed to conscious eternal separation in eternal perdition (Hell). "And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire" (v.14) which is Hell. Unlike any natural fire that burns out, this one never does. "He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone" (14.10), and "they have no rest day nor night" (v.11), for it "will never burn out" (Matt. 25.41). They "will never die, and the fire that burns them will never go out" (Is. 66.24). This fire represents eternal judgment from which there is no escape nor would the unsaved want to leave this place, because they want to be eternally separated from God. This place has no love, no peace and no joy. Most of all it is without God's presence.

    Many theories have been put forth to try to refute this truth but they don't work:
    1. Hallucination theory fails because modern psychology says group hallucinations are impossible.
    2. Swoon theory fails because Jesus wouldn't have look much like a risen Messiah all beat up.
    3. Empty tomb theory doesn't present any challenge to their eyewitness testimony.
    4. Twin theory is silly for no mention is made of this twin brother amongst Jesus' brothers and sisters.
    5. Legend theory fails because no documents in antiquity are so closely recorded to the time of events.
    6. Fraud theory is unworkable because people don't willingly die for what they know is a lie.
    7. Independent story is not tenable because of so much corroboration, e.g. second generation apostle Polycarp was a student of John and Clement of Rome was friends with Peter, and multiple books with different writing styles cross-reference many workers together setting up the churches, e.g. Paul said he spent 15 days with Peter and with John and James on more than one occasion. Mark and Barnabas worked with Paul, Peter and John. And Luke who wrote Luke and Acts worked with Paul and Peter. To name a few!

    In conclusion, a Christian is fully justified in Christ with this evidence. It stands up in a court of law. Christianity is unique because only in our faith does God enter His creation, pays the ransom for sin as only God could do, and proves Himself unequivocally by His resurrection. There can be no greater proof. A non-Christian (Hindu, Muslim, Atheist, etc.) has no evidence for his or her faith for they just take it on blind faith. Understand carefully that believing something doesn't make it true. You need evidence. Amen! "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thess. 5.21).

    Unless you believe in Jesus who He truly is, God has no choice but to send you where you want to go. "That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM who I claim to be, you will die in your sins" (John 8.24).

    Praise the Lord!

    2. 2015 to 2022

    Jesus said when Israel becomes a nation ("when his branch is yet tender," Matt. 24.32b) and enters Jerusalem ("and putteth forth leaves," v.32c), you can know the season ("ye know that summer is nigh," v.32d) when He returns even the very day ("when ye shall see all these things, you can know that His return is very near, right at the door," v.33). "Very near" is within a lifetime of 70 to 80 years (Ps. 90.10) from 1948 to 2018-28. Split the difference, no later than 2023. Can we get more accurate than this?

    Don't let anyone lead you astray and tell you otherwise who will misuse certain verses to misguide you by saying you can't know. Though it is true the disciples in their day could not know that would not always be the case. Satan says you can't know "right at the door" even though you can know right at the door when your friend says she will come over to your place if she is trustworthy. That Old Serpent might try to misuse Matt. 24.36, but it is referring to the end of the earth (v.35) not to when Jesus returns. Verse 35 and 36 are parenthetical to what Jesus is talking about and should be treated as one sentence. Jesus is saying His word does not change. Not even the end of the world will change it. And nobody knows when that end is.

    Certainly, Jesus at the right hand of the Father knows now when the end of the world will take place. And He knew when He would return; that's how we know as He gave us instruction about how to know when He would return. He will return in Person with "10,000 of His saints" (Jude 14,15) whom shall reign for 1000 years with a "rod of iron" (Rev. 2.27, 12.5, 19.15) "over the nations" (2.26); only then does the end of the world come and "no more sea" (21.1).

    We can know the day just not the hour (v.42 KJV, DBY) when He returns, but we can't know the day or hour when the world ends since this time is far off and not associated with signs such as the return of Israel (v.32), the signs in the heavens before the Tribulation starts (Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20, Rev. 6.12) and the specific 2,520 day period (7 years x 360 days per year) of Daniel's final unit of seven years we are to watch out for. Perhaps Jesus will give us some signs we do not yet know of during the millennium about when Satan is let loose out of the pit for a short while near the end of the 1000 years (20.7). In letting him out, it will be shown Satan will never repent, that man had yet some hidden sin and God's good pleasure.

    The two Lunar Tetrads that fell on passover, tabernacles and again on passover and tabernacles in 1949/50 (6th since Christ) when Israel became a nation and 1967/68 (7th since Christ) when Israel entered Jerusalem was the first time since Christ two feast Tetrads occurred so close together as this within 18 years apart, so this is the reference point to what Jesus was talking about when He told His disciples to watch out for [inferred] unique cosmic signs (Luke 21.25) to indicate when He returns.

    Before the great and terrible day of the Lord (Joel 2.31) would occur three events in specific order (Rev. 6.12):

    1) A great earthquake. Haiti 2010 had the second most deaths and the most deaths per capita of all earthquakes in history. Japan 2011 was the greatest in terms of financial loss and the 5th greatest in the world in magnitude.

    2) A unique solar eclipse. The rarest type-the Hybrid H3 longdated Nov. 3, 2013-is the 4th since Christ. Very rare indeed!

    3) A unique lunar eclipse. The Total Lunar Tetrad 2014/15 will be the 8th since Christ and won't happen again till 2582/83. So this is it my friends! Incidentally, there is no associated unique solar eclipse around 2582/83.

    (First time ever this Hybrid and Tetrad come together within a year apart; first time ever two earthquakes of this proportion come together a year apart of each other, and first time ever all three events in Rev. 6.12 come together.)

    Unless you believe in Partial Rapture, you won't be able to perceive Rev. 6.12 correctly occurring right before the Tribulation starts. Suggestion: learn about partial rapture.

    The commencement of the building of the Temple and start of the Tribulation would begin in or right next to the 2014/15 Tetrad because Israel became a nation again during the 6th Tetrad (1949/50) on May 14, 1948 (Ezekiel's prophecy takes us literally and amazingly to May, 1948). The armistice treaties were signed in 1949. And Israel marched in and reclaimed Jerusalem on June 7, 1967 during the 7th Tetrad (1967/68). The probability of this data point is less than 1 in 100,000 (try to figure it out yourself).

    As we all know, the first four feasts refer to Jesus' first coming. The last three feasts pertain to His second coming. The first of the last three feasts is the Feast of Trumpets which has to do with rapture that comes before the Tribulation starts. It is according to readiness (Matt. 24.40-42). The last trumpet rapture and resurrection (1 Thess. 4.14-18) is at the start of the 7th trumpet (Rev. 11.15, 15.2-4) and is according to completion. The second feast, the Day of Atonement, refers to those who are saved to be resurrected before the 1000 years. And the third feast, Tabernacles, points to the millennial kingdom that follows after the Tribulation is over. It is a Sabbath rest after 6000 years or 120 Jubilees from 3986 BC to 2015 AD where the lamb and the lion lay down together in peace, and Jesus reigns with a "rod of iron" (19.15).

    There must be 2,520 days for the final seven year period according to Daniel's prophecy (Dan. 9.24-27) because all the other sets of seven were composed of 7 year sevens. Nobody told me these dates for the Tribulation. I discovered them myself as the Holy Spirit guided me. I needed and prayed for a holiday of significance on the 2,520th day from Feast of Trumpets. Imagine my surprise! 7 out of every 19 years an extra month is added on the Jewish calendar so there are 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets (the First Rapture) to Tisha B'Av (the day the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed).

    2014-2021 and 2016-2023 don't add up to 2,520 days, but 2015-2022 does for these particular holidays.

    The Third Temple is especially important to Jesus because it will be His residence for 1000 years. It greatly hurts His heart to see the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples because of such needless suffering and necessitated a delay in both His first and second coming to be with us in Person.

    The First Rapture to "the throne" (Rev 7.9) according to readiness (3.10, Luke 21.36) is on the Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 before the first trumpet of the Tribulation is blown (8.7ff) that ushers in the 7 year Tribulation that lasts 2,520 days. Approximately 1/7th of believers alive at the time of the first rapture will be raptured alive, because only one of the 7 churches in Rev. 2 & 3 was an overcomer church. Only a couple million saints will be raptured alive, i.e. "taken" (Matt. 24.40-42). Believers not taken will be "left" (1 Thess. 4.15,17) to be raptured at the last trump (1 Cor. 15.52).

    The last trumpet rapture and resurrection (1 Cor. 15.23, 1 Thess. 4.14-18, Rev. 14.14-16) is at the start of the 7th trumpet. The 7th trumpet contains the 7 bowls of wrath and lasts 24 months (see calc. below). The first four trumpets are the first half of the 7 year Tribulation. During this time only the earth is hurt. People are not killed in mass yet until the 6th and 7th trumpets when 200 million military units (9.16) congregate in the middle east over oil. The ensuing nuclear exchange causes fire, smoke and brimstone that kills 1/3 of the earth's people (v.18).

    The Tribulation is composed of 84 thirty-day months (2,520 days). The first four trumpets last 42 months (ch. 8) since the Great Tribulation which is the second half of the Tribulation has three trumpets or the 3 woes (8.13) which last 42 months. The Great Trib. begins at 9.1 ("I saw a star [Satan] falls from heaven unto the earth") and continues for 42 months (11.2, 13.5).

    The 5th trumpet is 5 months (vv.5,10), and the 6th trumpet lasts 13 months (v.15). That leaves 24 months for the 3rd woe-the 7th trumpet. 5 + 13 + 24 = 42 months. Counting down the days from Feast of Trumpets, the middle of the Tribulation begins Feb. 25, 2019 (v.1). The beginning of the 6th trumpet is July 25, 2019 lasting 13 months. And the beginning of the 7th trumpet is Aug. 18, 2020. "An hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men" (v.15) is 13 months. "And a day" would take us to Aug. 19. And "an hour" might fall into Aug. 20th. A "third part of men" carries over into the 7th trumpet arena of the 7 bowls of wrath.

    Jesus steps down on the mount of olives (Zech. 14.4, Acts 1.11, Rev. 1.7, 19.11-16) on Tisha B'Av Sunday, Aug. 7 (Av 10), 2022. When Tisha B'Av falls on a Saturday as on Aug. 6 (Av 9), 2022 it is held the day after on Sunday instead.

    In conclusion: Jesus returning on Sunday is 1 in 7. Tisha B'Av held over from Saturday is 1 in 7. Feast of Trumpets to Tisha B'Av works out to be exactly 2,520 days every 7 out of 19 years. Including the probabilities for the Great Earthquake (1 in 2010), the Long H3 Solar Eclipse (1 in 700), the Tetrads (1 in 100,000), and these three events (earthquake, solar eclipse, lunar tetrad) in specific order (1 in 6), we come to a probability of 112 trillion to 1. If you think that is just coincidence, think again!

    Are Jesus' Claims Unique Among the Religions of the World?
    by Gary R. Habermas (with some changes by Troy Brooks)

    God is by nature totally apart from His creation. Humans do not reach godhood. In the Bhagavad-Gita (Hindu text), however, the process of enlightenment can be attained by those who return to the Godhead and achieve their own divinity (see 18:46-68). In a certain sense, all persons have divine natures in many cults in Christendom and other religions.

    Jesus claimed dual titles of divinity. Particularly, He said He was both the Son of God and the Son of Man.

    Jesus said, "All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him" (Matt. 11.27). If only Jesus can reveal the Father then Jesus must be in the Godhead logically speaking.

    Jesus said, "But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house" (Mark 2.10-11). Only Jesus can forgive sins and perform miraculous healing.

    He spoke of His Father in familiar ways ("Lest coming suddenly He find you sleeping," Mark 13.36) and even claimed to forgive sins, for which He was charged with blasphemy because in doing so He was claiming to be God.

    "When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?" (Mark 2.5-7)

    In perhaps the clearest indication of His claims about Himself, when the high priest asked Jesus if He was the Christ, the Son of God, Jesus plainly declared that He was. Then He further asserted that He was also the Son of Man who would co-reign on God the Father's throne and come on the clouds of judgment. The high priest pronounced these claims as blasphemy.

    "But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death" (Mark 16.61-64). Imagine that! Condemning our Creator to death? How evil. But do not think those who simply state Jesus never existed or was not God are any less reviling. They are just more cunning in their hostility. God knows their hearts.

    These sayings of Jesus were recorded by the original disciples or close associates in ...

    Revelation 6.12 and Joel 2.31 Before the First Rapture and Tribulation Start

    Revelation 6.12 says, "there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood," and that this event occurs before the Tribulation starts, for the Tribulation is comprised of the 7 trumpets that follow which begin in verse 7 of chapter 8.

    The earthquake in Haiti 2010 killed the 2nd most people of any earthquake in history and is the 5th worst natural disaster in history. But on a nation-wide basis it produced the highest number of deaths per capita, so it certainly qualifies as the "great earthquake" of Revelation 6.12.

    In considering a rare solar eclipse, the H3 Hybrid Solar Eclipse on Nov. 3, 2013 is very rare. It is the 4th since Christ.

    The red blood moon, as predicted in Joel 2.31 before that great and terrible day of the Lord, is certainly met with the Lunar Tetrad in 2014/15. In fact, the combination of the H3-Tetrad is the first since Christ and I can't find any other instance of this. The Tetrad won't happen again on feast days until 2582/83.

    The probability of the Lunar Tetrad on feast days in 1949/50 and 1967/68 when Israel became a nation and entered Jerusalem is about 1 in 100,000 and with the H3 Solar Eclipse, it comes to 1 in 70,000,000. Add to that the Haiti Earthquake, the odds come to 1 in 141,000,000,000. That's right! 141 billion.

    All we need now is a 2,520 day period that starts on Feast of Trumpets (which represents the first rapture) and ends on Tisha B'Av because it is all about the Temple that Jesus will reign in for 1000 years when He returns. This is the date the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed so this greatly hurts God's heart and wants Israel to know He is thinking of them with these signs in the heavens. Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022 is exactly 2,520 days. It doesn't work for 2014 or 2016. And the 1335th day of the Tribulation is after the final three feasts which lands on the 4th day from Simchat Torah when Israel takes out the items of the Ark of the Covenant and read the Torah Scrolls.

    What if we were to additionally say Jesus should return on a Sunday, because of the salvation of the cross, and only allow those 7 year periods where Tisha B'Av on Av 9 fell on a Sabbath so it was held the day after on Sunday instead (Av 10). Taking into account these factors the odds now come to 1 in 6,900,000,000,000. That's right! 1 in 6.9 trillion. I call that a sure thing!

    Why does God let us know now when His parousia for seven years begins? Are we not told that, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons" (Acts 1.7)? But wait a minute. We are also told after Israel becomes a nation (Matt. 24.32) we can know when Jesus returns "right at the door" (v.33). We can't know when the 1000 years ends (vv.35,36) nor can we know the hour of the first rapture (v.42) to be "taken" (vv.40,41), but it does not say we can't know the day. Ezekiel's prophecy is most amazing because if a person was discerning enough they could know when Israel would be a nation again straight to the month in 1948, yet Jesus didn't say anything about this when He said it is not for us to know the times or the seasons; so what I suggest is He is speaking generally to people. Generally, most people won't see it even Christians. But for the discerning they can know. Jesus speaks in this way because He does not want to overburden babes in Christ with these calculations. Even so they can be known.

    There are some other confirming points such as the 120th Jubilee is 2015 and there are 17,640 days from June 7, 1967 to the Day of Atonement Sept. 23, 2015. 2015 is the date of the beginning of the Tribulation. We would also like to see the Temple completed and dedicated so that there are 2300 days left to occur from the final day of the 4 day inspection of the lamb on April 21, 2016 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022, and that is in fact what we find. Moreover, we would like to see there be 1260 days for the Two Witnesses (Enoch and Elijah) from the first day of the inspection of the lamb on April 18 (Nisan 10), 2016 to Feast of Trumpets Sept. 30, 2019. We find this is the case as well. That being said, I feel this is enough corroborating points.

    So the reason we can know now is to prepare us, for if we "Watch therefore" (v.42) we shall be "taken" and not "left" (vv.40,41). Matt. 24.32-25.30 is speaking to Christians. It stands to reason if we are not watchful, even though saved and can't lose eternal life, we shall pass through the Tribulation and be raptured at the start of the last Trumpet instead (1 Cor. 15.23, 50-52; 1 Thess. 4.15-17; Rev. 11.15, 14.14-16, 15.2-4).

    Again we observe, "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man" (Luke 21.36). If a Christians is not watchful nor prayerful nor keeping the conduct of Matthew 5-7, he will not be accounted worthy to escape the Tribulation that shall come to pass and stand "before the throne" (Rev. 7.9) in 3rd Heaven before the Son of man.

    To triply confirm the first rapture is according to readiness-an advanced party and harbinger are found every sphere-let us seal the fact of partial rapture (or separate rapture) with these words: If "thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, THAT HOUR which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth" (Rev. 3.10). Do all Christians keep the word of His patience? Of course not. Many are tied down to the world like balloon, unwilling to be released, loving the world just a little too much for their own good. And notice this is not a keeping from just trials but the HOUR OF TRIAL of the Tribulation itself. God cannot promise that you will escape death in the Tribulation if you so enter, but He can promise to keep you from entering the Tribulation if you "keep the word of His patience". Amen. Therefore, not all Christians who are alive on Sept. 14, 2015 will be raptured alive, but will pass through the time of testing. This is an advanced party which includes martyrs from the past 20 centuries as indicated in the 5th Seal which also occurs shortly before th Tribulation and the 144,000 virgin firstfruits Christians (Rev. 14.1-5) who shall be closest to the Lord. 144,000 is the number because it is the pinnacle God seeks after: 24 hours per day x 6000 year-days comes to 144,000 hours, so one virgin firstfruit Christian for each hour.

    Now we know why it is important to know the day of the first rapture according to readiness and when the 7 year Tribulation takes place. Praise the Lord for this discernment! Amen.

    It should also be pointed out that amillennialists, postmillennialists and preterists are unsaved, thus they shall go to Hell, because they don't want a Jesus who will return to reign on earth for 1000 years with His overcomer believers over the nations (Rev. 2.26, 19.11-16, 20.2-7). But there is additionally a problem with pretrib and midtrib onlyists and posttrib or prewrath onlyists, because there they are in the Tribulation, not realizing it and accusing a couple million souls that have vanished by accusing them of being a "fake rapture" because if it was the rapture, the pretribber assumes he would have been included. They "accuse the brethren day and night" (Rev. 12.10). Likewise, the posttribbers will accuse us also. So we can't confidently say the various onlyists views who reject the multiple raptures are actually born-again. They have a strange spirit.

    And to top it off even if some of these accusers were saved, they most certainly would not be included in the reward of reigning with Christ during the 1000 years, so they would be cast into outer darkness, outside the light of reward of reigning with Christ for the 1000 years. Outer darkness is like a log cabin beautifully lit in the forest but you are not allowed to enter as one of the 5 wise virgins. You are excluded from the marriage feast of the millennium. Only after you have been disciplined for the 1000 years will you enter the New City with those who have been reigning on earth with Jesus. Outer darkness is also like painting a house. If you are sloppy with your paint brush in the work God has apportioned for you and not filling up your vessels with oil like the 5 unwise virgins, instead of being allowed to enter directly the shower, gasoline will need to be poured on your skin to get the paint off. This stinging effect is like the discipline of losing the reward of reigning with Christ in the millennium.

    Premillennialism Futurism (Christian eschatology) affirms that the 2300 days of Daniel 8.14 have not yet occurred and refer to the future unsanctioned sacerdotal rites (the Temple is approved by God but not the rites) of a yet future Third Temple to be completed during early portion of the 70th week of Daniel's Prophecy - which also is yet future. The "reign of the Beast" (Abomination of Desolation) commences at the mid-point of Daniel's Prophecy of the Seventieth Week and thus ensues in "days" (as in the "evening and morning" Daniel 8.14) the 1290 days of "desolations" or "abominations" (Daniel 12.12). These "desolations" or "the host to be trampled underfoot" (Daniel 8.13) must be calculated by adding the days of the "daily sacrifices" in a restored Third Temple, yet future, to the "days of desolation" or 1010 (days of sacrifice) + 1290 (days of desolations) = 2300 days: "'How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?' and he said to me, 'For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.'" Eschatologists conclude that the Prophecy of the Seventieth Week is directed to partly to the Jews in a regathered Israel in the "latter days" ("Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city" - Daniel 9:24) as well as to the Church in terms of the parousia of Christ. Is this entirely correct? No! Please read...

    From the 1260th day to the 1290th day is 30 days more after Jesus returns. Jesus casts His judgment over the nations for those 30 days. After which time 45 days more are needed to the 1335th day set up Israel as the center of all nations. If the 2300 days is to the 1260th day (not to the 1290th), then the Temple would be completed 1040 rather than 1010 days before the Great Tribulation starts. There would needs be an adjustment to common thinking as given here:
    250 Days (From the commencement of Daniel's 70th Week - Period of Rebuilding the Third Temple) + 1010 Days (Period of Sacrifices) to the "Middle of the Week" and the "Abomination of Desolation" + 1290 Days of "Desolations" (Daniel 12.11) (which is equal to 2300 days - i.e., 1010+1290=2300 Days - which is 30 days beyond the conclusion of Daniel's 70th Week) + 45 Days or unto the 1335th Day (i.e., the period of the "judgment of the nations" and of the "unveiling of Messiah to National Israel" - Daniel 12.12) - total numbers of "days" involved: 250+1010+1290+45=2595 Days.
    It is true 2300 days is from the completion of the Temple to the last day of the Tribulation, but 2300 - 1260 = 1040 days before the Great Tribulation commences after the Temple is completed. 1260 - 1040 = 220 the number of days the Temple needs to be completed after the Tribulation starts. From the start of the Tribulation to the end is a total of 2595 days. The only difference in this viewpoint is that Jesus' very presence is cleansing rather than Jesus while on earth having to wait 30 days more, so the 250 calculation is wrong and should only be 220 days before the sacrifices can commence.

    G. H. Lang agrees with me about the 220 days. It's clear that the 19th century in which Lang lived was the most spiritual under the Brethren movement (1828) who wanted to just be called Christians, but close on the heels Satan usurped lots of cults that tried to counter God's truths (e.g. JW's, Mormons, 7th Day Adventists, Christian Science, Pentecostalism "gibberish babble", more non-OSAS and Calvinism). G. H. Lang said,
    Now, as we shall see when we consider the revelation of the Seventy Sevens, the Antichrist is to make a covenant with the majority of the Jewish nation for Seven Years, at the close of which period he will be destroyed by the appearing of the Lord. It would seem, then, that he will not tamper with the Sanctuary, until the two hundred and twenty-first day from the date of the commencement of the covenant; indeed, it is possible that the building of the Temple may not be completed until that time. Perhaps, the two thousand three hundred days may represent the whole time of his personal connection with the City and Sanctuary. The actual suppression of the daily sacrifices will not take place, as we shall presently see, until three years and a half of the covenant-period have passed by.” (G. H. Pember, Great Prophecies, pp. 127-8, from G. H. Lang’s The Histories and Prophecies of Daniel, p. 117).
    It is so wonderful these words by G. H. Lang, agreeable with G. H. Pember, who agrees with me precisely here.

    Therefore, we can be confident the 2300 days refers to the last 2300 days within the 7 year Tribulation. The 2300 days is 6.3 years. It is the time when the 3rd Temple is completed, sacrifices begin again (against God's will), 1040 days later the sacrifices are stopped, and after the 5th Trumpet the Antichrist invades Israel, Jerusalem and the Temple.

    "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed" (Dan. 8.13-14). Why? Because Jesus steps down on the mount of olives (Zech. 14.4) on Aug. 7, 2022.

    The sanctuary will finally be cleansed because Jesus returns at that time (the 1260th day of the Great Trib.) at the end of those 2300 days. A peace treat is signed at the start of the 7 years. 220 days into the Tribulation the Temple is completed and the sacrifices start. The Antichrist however does not cease those sacrifices at that time. He waits till three and a half years into the Tribulation to do so. Dan. 8.13-14 doesn't say the sacrifices will cease at the start of the 2300 days (220 days into the Tribulation) but it is at that point only "concerning the daily sacrifice". The "transgression and desolation" commences with the Antichrist in his relationship to the Temple which immediately takes effect once it is built because he is integral to the 7 year peace treat as well as the construction of the Temple. His very involvement is a transgression. The fact that animal sacrifices are not supposed to be performed anyway because Jesus is our once-for-all sacrifice also lends weight to "transgression and desolation."

    Compare the two main views:
    The passages in Daniel 8 through 12 by futurists refer to National Israel, not exclusively though (Daniel 8.14—“then the sanctuary shall be cleansed”) since the “cleansing” is directly associated with the second advent of Christ, which indeed is the case (His cleansing of the Temple is directly connected with Daniel 12.12 and completed on the 1,335th Day); its implications concerning Israel’s ramifications are wholly disregarded by historicists—for in their eyes, the book of Daniel, in the main, excludes the “previous” “your people and for your holy city” (Daniel 9:24—i.e., the Jews) and, based upon the Amillenarian backgrounds of these proponents, the Roman Church, Eastern Orthodox, Calvinists, Lutherans and ultimately Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism and other cults, they wholly appropriate all the promises made to National Israel, and, like St. Augustine, Origen, and other eschatological systems of interpretation (i.e., the Postmillennialism, Preterists), to the Church and the annihilation of Israel, called suppercessionism. This is demonic!
