    2. 2015 to 2022

    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.

    The argument goes as follows. Just as the wise men received two confirming signs of the star in the heavens for the baby Jesus, we have two confirming signs of when Jesus returns by the lunar tetrads 1949/50 when Israel became a nation May 14, 1948 and 1967/68 when Israel entered Jerusalem June 7, 1967. The Armistice treaty was signed 1949. These were not any normal Tetrads but they occurred on passover, tabernacles and again on passover and tabernacles. The 8th one since Christ will be 2014/15 and won't happen again till literally the year 2582/83. The probability calculation is as follows. Because there was only one century prior to the 20th century that had 2 feast Tetrads, the probability the Tetrad occurring twice in the 20th century was 1 in 19 centuries. And the probability one of the Tetrads would fall on one of those two key dates was 2/100 and the other landing on the other date was 1/99. This brings the total probability to ~ 1 in 100,00.

    The last seven of Daniel's prophecy (Dan. 9.24-27) has yet to be fulfilled which is 2,520 days (7 x 360) like the other 69 sevens were. From the declaration to rebuild the Temple Nisan 1, 444 BC (Neh. 2), the 2nd Temple would be built in troublous times over seven sets of seven (7 x 7 x 360 = 17,640 days) then after another 62 sevens the Messiah would be cut off. 7 x (7+62) x 360 = 173,880 days. There are exactly 173,880 days from March 3, Nisan 1, 444 BC to March 28, 33 AD (Gregorian). March 28 was Nisan 10, Monday, the 1st day of the 4 day inspection of the lamb when Jesus rode into Jerusalem. The 4 day inspection was March 28, 29, 30, 31. Jesus died on a lunar eclipse April 1, 33 AD, Friday, Passover, Nisan 14, April Fool's Day as Satan mocks Jesus. Hundreds of years prior we could predict the exact day Jesus would die on the cross. Amazing! Should we not be able to predict when Jesus steps down on the mount of olives to reign on earth for 1000 years with His overcomers over the nations? Certainly. We knew the day the baby Jesus would be born and when He would die on the cross. Likewise, for those who are discerning, they will know when He returns. Praise the Lord!

    Let us be careful though, because all those verses that talk about you can't know the day or the hour should be read in context. Sometimes they deal with the end of the world (not when Jesus returns), speaking to carnal Christians who can't discern, or prior to when Israel would be a nation again since Matt. 24.33 days we can "know" when Jesus returns even the very day "right at the door" (Matt. 24.33) only once Israel is a nation again (v.32). It was around this time we knew when the Tetrads would take place as well.

    So before the great and terrible day of the Lord (Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20, Rev. 6.12) would occur three events in specific order: great earthquake, unique solar eclipse and unique lunar eclipse. In 2010, there were 320,000 people who died in Haiti due to an earthquake. It was the second most deaths of any earthquake in history and the most per capita of 1 in 27 souls. In 2011 was the greatest financial loss of any earthquake in history in Japan, 4th greatest in magnitude and all 50+ nuclear power plants were shut down. Never in history have two earthquakes of such massive proportions ever occurred back to back, year over year like that. Profound! We can calculate this to be a probability of ~ 1 in 2010. "For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" (Rev. 6.17) does follow verse 12.

    What follows next is the required rare lunar eclipse. There are 4 kinds of lunar eclipses. The rarest 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 the time. And they are even more rare according to NASA when they are the long version lasting more than 1 minute 30 seconds. It just so happens the 4th long H3 since Christ will be Nov. 3, 2013. Wowsy wowsers! It won't happen again till 2172. I am now getting interested. My interest is peaked!

    Since this long H3 has occurred 3 times since Christ over 2012 years, the chance of it occurring in 2013 just before the Tetrads 2014/15 to maintain the proper sequence in Revelation 6.12, gives us a probability of ~ 1 in 700. Amazingly rare stuff! And the probability of this correct order of these three events is 1 in 6.

    Thirdly, is the required rare lunar eclipse 2014/15. Since Rev. 6.12 occurs before the Tribulation starts with the first rapture "before the throne" (Rev. 7.9) in 3rd heaven before the 1st trumpet (8.7) of the Tribulation, and these three events are most certainly these three of events of 2010-15, we can be confident the 7 year Tribulation can't start before 2015.

    However, the Tribulation can't end any later than 2023, the latest possible date for Jesus' return, because "right at the door" (Matt. 24.33) after Israel is a nation again (v.32) in 1948 by all accounts should not be more than a lifetime, and a lifetime is no more than 75 years (Ps. 90.10). 75 years divided by 2000 years ~ 4%. 20% nor even 10% should be considered right at the door, but 4% seems quite reasonable as being right at the door and certainly within a lifetime at most. So we have two possible choices for the Tribulation. Either 2015-22 or 2016-23. Which is the correct one?

    Incidentally, 2520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 2 to 10 so we see this as significant and not just some coincidence as a basic prophetic working unit Daniel discovered. There needs to be 2,520 days from the beginning feast to an ending holiday. The last 3 feasts of Israel pertain to His second coming, while the first 4 feasts already dealt with His first coming. Feast of Trumpets, the first of the last 3 feasts, deals with rapture. Since the first rapture "before the throne" (Rev. 7.9) occurs first before the Tribulation starts with its first trumpet (8.7), the 2,520 days should begin on Feast of Trumpets.

    What is the 2,520th day from Feast of Trumpets 2015 to the year 2022? it is a Sunday Aug. 7. But there is no holiday on that Sunday. With a little more investigation one finds out that Aug. 6 is Tisha B'Av, but it says right there in Wiki that whenever it falls on Saturday (Sabbath) it is held the day after instead. Praise the Lord! What a stroke of luck that was! Tisha B'Av is the date the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed. Jesus returns to reign in the 3rd Temple. The odds of Tisha B'Av held over from Saturday to Sunday is 1 in 7. What about from 2016 to 2023? There is no holiday in the vicinity for the 2,520th day from 2016 to 2023. There you have it. Case solved! As it turns out 7 out of every 19 years the 2,520th day lands on Tisha B'Av. Go figure! The odds of Jesus returning on the day He was resurrected is 1 in 7.

    The final clue is that as a reenactment of the declaration to rebuild the Temple, we find that there are exactly 7 sets of 7 from June 7, 1967 when Israel reclaimed Jerusalem to the Day of Atonement Sept. 23, 2015. Wow! That's 17,640 days (7 x 7 x 360). A deeper study (pleases request this from me) will reveal going back adding up the ages in Israel that 2015 is a Jubilee year as well, once every 50 years. What is also interesting is that there are 2300 days (Dan. 8.14) from the 4th day inspection of the lamb, the day before Passover, to Tisha B'Av when the Temple is cleansed for Jesus steps down on the mount of olives on that day of Aug. 7, 2022 (Zech. 14.4, Acts 1.11, Rev. 1.7).

    Let us resist all of Satan's attempts to try to convince us through his wiles that we can't now when the Lord returns.

    Jesus then judges the nations for 30 days from the 1260th day of the Great Tribulation to the 1290th day. 45 days more are needed to set up Israel as the center of all nations. Amazingly, yet again, we find that the 1335th day, also another key number in the Bible, lands on the 4th day from Simchat Torah, the last of the Jewish holiday, 2 days after Tabernacles ends--the last of the 7 feasts of Israel.

    I am in awe! How about you? Let's run that calculation now.

    (1 in 100,000) x (1 in 2010) x (1 in 700) x (1 in 6) x (7 out of 19) x (1 in 7) x (1 in 7) = 1 in 112 trillion.

    That is,

    1 in 112,000,000,000,000.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    What I am particularly fond of about all this is that the final seven begins on the 120th Jubilee of 6000 years. Some may think isn't that Calvinistic? Not at all. God is placing His divine plan within the span of those 6000 years before His second coming whether people like it or not! We aren't robots.

    Do you think it is reasonable for Jesus to return within a lifetime when Israel becomes a nation again?

    "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).

    I think we can all agree the fig tree represents Israel and the summer is the millennial kingdom. The branch was tender no later than May 14, 1948 when Israel became a nation again.

    "Summer is nigh" would be no longer than within a lifetime. "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away" (Ps. 90.10).

    Abraham entered the promise land at the age of 75. "So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran" (Gen. 12.4).

    1948 + 75 = 2023. Therefore, Jesus steps down on the mount of olives no later than 2023 so the very latest the Tribulation would be is from 2016-23.

    Before the Tribulation starts certain events must take place.

    "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 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" (Joel 2.31, Rev. 6.12).

    Haiti 2010 was the second greatest number of deaths of any earthquake in history. Japan 2011 caused Japan to shut down all 50+ of is nuclear power plants and it was the 4th greatest earthquake in history in terms of magnitude. Back to back, year over year, the world has never seen two earthquakes together this devastating. Never! Wake up people!

    There are 4 kinds of solar eclipses. The rarest is the Hybrid occurring about 5% of the time. And there are 3 kinds of hybrids. The H3 the rarest occurring about 5% of the time. And a solar eclipse is even more rare when it is a long version, that is, lasting longer than 1 minute and 30 seconds according to NASA. Amazingly, on Nov. 3, 2013 is the rarest of all solar eclipses--the long H3 Hybrid. The H3 Hybrid starts as a partial eclipse and finishes off as a total eclipse to produce that black sackcloth effect. This is the 4th one since Christ and won't happen again till the year 2172.

    What follows next is the 2014/15 Total Lunar Tetrad that lands on passover, tabernacles and again on passover and tabernacles. The 6th one since Christ was 1949/50 when Israel became a nation May 14, 1948. The Armistice treaty was signed 1949. The 7th Tetrad was 1967/68 when Israel entered Jerusalem June 7, 1967. It won't happen again till 2582/83, and there is no unique solar eclipse preceding it.

    "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors" (Matt. 24.33). Within a lifetime!

    When does the 7 year Tribulation take place? It is not going to start in 2012 or 2013 or 2014 because the Temple construction must begin by the start of the Tribulation so the Antichrist can reign in it by the middle of the Tribulation.

    "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months" (Dan. 9.27, Matt. 24.15, 2 Thess. 2.4, Rev. 11.2).

    The 7 year Tribulation is 2,520 days (7 x 360) like all of Daniel's sixty-nine sevens were. 2,520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 2 to 10. The 69th seven is concluded 4 days before Jesus died on the cross based on the sevens being 2,520 days each. The feasts of Israel are a rehearsal. The last 3 feasts deal with Jesus' second coming. Feast of Trumpets is the first of the last 3 feasts and pertains to rapture. Therefore, we should expect the Tribulation to start on Feast of Trumpets. This can be confirmed.

    In 2015 Feast of Trumpets is Sept. 14, 2015 and the 2,520th day is Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022 (1260th day), the day the first and second Temples were destroyed. Jesus returns to reign in the third Temple. The 2,550th day (1290th) from Feast of Trumpets in 2016 is the Day of Atonement in 2023. So which of these two 7 year periods will be the Tribulation?

    It takes 2300 days before the Temple is cleansed. "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed" (Dan. 8.14).

    There are 2300 days from April 21, 2016 the 4th day inspection of the lamb, the day before Passover, to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022. The same is true for 2017 to 2023. So we need another clue. There are seven sets of seven (7 x 7 x 360) from June 7, 1967 when Israel took over Jerusalem to Sept. 23, 2015 Day of Atonement (total of 17,640 days). This suggests that 2015 is the starting year of the Tribulation so the Tribulation would be Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022.

    At any rate the first rapture according to readiness is on Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 or Feast of Trumpets Oct. 3, 2016. I favor 2015 for several other reasons, because it is a Jubilee year, once every 50 years and it is a Sabbath year once every seven years. And Tisha B'Av in 2022 lands on a Sunday.

    2. 2015 to 2022

    When you read, or hear someone tell you, you can't know the day or the hour, keep in mind they could not know then, obviously, since they could not calculate according to the Tetrads (signs in the sun and the moon), but once Israel is a nation again you can know. Moreover, you can't know when the end of the world is (Matt. 24.35-36), but you can know when Jesus returns which is 1000 years before the end of the world. Jesus did not say He would forever not know. Likewise, as we approach the season or find ourselves in the season as we are now, we can know. And lastly, you can't know the day or hour if you are a carnal Christian; only a spiritual Christian can discern the signs of the times because he is watchful and overcoming. Make sure when you read these passages about the day and the hour you read them in context.

    We are coming to a turning point in history, because never has prophecy and the cosmos ever been this aligned before as it is now, and it all begins with the phrase when the "branch is tender" (Matt. 24.32) then you can "know" when Jesus returns "right at the door" (v.33). Israel represents the fig tree in the OT and Jesus even cursed the fig tree representing Israel because it had leaves, but no fruit showing its outward display was not right while inwardly it was corrupt having no fruit. One would think within a lifetime constitutes easily "right at the door". 70 to 80 years is a lifetime (Ps. 90.10), and Abraham entered the promise land at 75. 75 years added to 1948 when Israel became a nation brings us to 2023 so the Tribulation can occur no later than the 7 year period from 2016 to 2023.

    Just as all of Daniel's sixty-nine sevens (Dan. 9.25,26) were 2,520 days each (7 x 360) so too will be the 70th seven-the final seven (v.27; see Matt. 24.15). From the declaration to rebuild the Temple Nisan 1, 444 BC (Neh. 2.1) there would be 7 sets of 7 (49 years) then another sixty-two sets of seven, for a total of 69 sevens after which the Messiah would be cut off. 69 x 7 x 360 = 173,880 days. There are exactly 173,880 days from Nisan 1, 444 BC to March 28, 33 AD (Gregorian) which is the 1st day of the 4 day inspection of the lamb March 28, 29, 30, 31. Then Jesus was cut off April 1, April Fool's Day, 33 AD, Nisan 14, Passover.

    And Ezekiel's prophecy on his side for 390 days also brings us to precisely as prophesied when Israel would become a nation again to the month of May. Israel became a nation again in a day on May 14, 1948. Wow!

    So we are looking for a 7 year period that lasts 2,520 days. Incidentally, 2,520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers for 2 to 10 as a basic working prophetic unit. Just as there were two signs in the heavens for the wise men to find the child of Bethlehem, we should expect two more signs-the second being the confirmation-in the heavens to know when Jesus returns. A feast Total Lunar Tetrad is when there is a red blood moon on passover, tabernacles, and again on passover and tabernacles over a 2 year period. They are very rare. The 6th one since Christ was 1949/50. Israel signed the Armistice treaty in 1949. The 7th was 1967/68 when Israel took over Jerusalem June 7, 1967. Never before in history were two Tetrads closer than 18 years apart. The 8th will be 2014/15. From the nation of Israel to its capital Jerusalem next will follow the building of the 3rd Temple. The Total Lunar Tetrad won't happen again till 2582/83. Wow! So this is it!

    The 7 feasts of Israel are a rehearsal of things to come related to the Messiah. The first four feasts pertain to Jesus' first coming. The last 3 feasts to his second coming. Passover represents His atoning sacrifice. Feast of Unleavened Bread represents Jesus being in the grave for 3 days. Firstfruits typifies His resurrection. And Pentecost depicts the giving of the Holy Spirit to indwell believers now that Jesus is at the right hand of the Father. The last 3 feasts are about His second coming. Feast of Trumpets deals with the rapture according to readiness before the Tribulation starts since Matt. 24.40-42, Luke 21.36 and Rev. 3.10 are conditional if/then statements for Christians to be received up "before the throne" (7.9) at the first rapture before the first trumpet (8.7) of the Tribulation commences, if they keep the word of His patience, are prayerful and watchful. Most Christians alive at the time will lose this reward because they preferred to be carnal Christians. Though they can't lose eternal life, they can lose the reward of being received up before the throne ahead of time and escape the hour of trial that is to come upon the whole world. They will have to wait to meet the Lord in the air at the last trumpet instead. Next is the Day of Atonement which depicts all those who are saved when Jesus returns. And finally Tabernacles would be Jesus tabernacling among men for 1000 years, reigning with a "rod of iron" over the nations with His overcomers (Rev. 2.26, 12.5).

    Hence, the Tribulation must start on Feast of Trumpets. Every two years or so the 2,520th day (7 x 360) of the Tribulation-the 1260th day of the Great Tribulation-lands on Tisha B'Av when the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed, for Jesus returns to reign in the 3rd Temple. In alternating years, amazingly enough, the 2,550th day-the 1290th day-lands on the Day of Atonement. Is this a coincidence? I think not. The Bible references the 1260th and 1290th day several times.

    The problem before us is how do we determine which 7 year period is the Tribulation? Is it in the years the 2,550th day lands on Day of Atonement or when the 2,520th day lands on Tisha B'Av? There are a few clues that help us. There are seven sets of seven ( 7 x 7 x 360) from June 7, 1967 when Israel took over Jerusalem to the Day of Atonement Sept. 23, 2015 for a total of 17,640 days. Could this be a double fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy towards the rebuilding of the Temple? This suggests the Tribulation begins in the year 2015, not 2014 or 2016. Moreover, there's no 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets and Tisha B'Av for 2014-21 or 2016-23. Recall Jesus steps down on the mount of olives no later than 2023 for us to enter the promise land. "So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran" (Gen. 12.4). Another major clue is that the Temple is cleansed after 2300 days (Dan. 8.14) so there should be 2300 days from around passover to the 1260th or 1290th day. What we find is in years that the 2,520th day lands on Tisha B'Av there are 2300 days from the 4th day inspection of the lamb to Tisha B'Av; that is, there are 2300 days from April 21, 2016 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022. This is not the case for years when the 2,550th day lands on Day of Atonement. Therefore, we can be quite confident the Tribulation is Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022. There is also 1260 days from the 1st day inspection of the lamb April 18, 2016 to Feast of Trumpets Sept. 30, 2019. This could be the time of the Two Witnesses Enoch and Elijah, the only two persons in the Bible who did not die, who will die in the Great Tribulation then be raised up after 3 and 1/2 days. The 1335th day after the middle of the Tribulation (another key number in the Bible), or 2595th day of the Tribulation, in years the 2,520th day lands on Tisha B'Av ends up being the 4th day from Simchat Torah after Tabernacles ends. For Simchat Torah the Jews use to take out the Torah Scroll from the Holy of Holies and read it once a year so seems quite important. Whereas the 1335th day when the 2,550th day lands on Day of Atonement ends up in November with no significant feast or holiday attached to it.

    Is there anything else to support the 2015-22 period? Indeed. Rev. 6.12 and Joel 2.31 tell us three events must take place in exact order shortly before the Tribulation begins. First is the great earthquake. Haiti 2010 had the 2nd greatest number of deaths of any earthquake in history and most deaths per capita (1 in 27 people). Japan 2011 had the greatest financial loss (all 50+ of their nuclear power plants were shut down and it was the 4th greatest in magnitude in human history). Year over year, no two earthquakes were this devastating. It was a new record broken in the Guinness Book of Records. Next is the black sackcloth sun. There are 4 kinds of solar eclipses, the rarest which is he Hybrid occurring about 5% of the time. The rarest kind of Hybrid is the H3 occurring again another 5% of the time (5% x 5% = .03%). The H3 starts off as partial eclipse then finishes as a total eclipse to produce that black sackcloth effect. A solar eclipse is even more rare when it is a long one and not a short one. A long solar eclipse is when it lasts longer than 1 minute and 30 seconds according to NASA. The 4th long H3 since Christ will be Nov. 3, 2013 and it won't happen again till 2172. Wow! Last but not least is the 8th Total Lunar Tetrad since Christ on passover, tabernacles and again on passover and tabernacles in 2014/15 and won't happen again till 2582/83. Interestingly, there are no rare solar eclipses and red blood moons associated to that date so the time is now!

    Conclusively, the Tribulation can't start before 2015 because the Temple must be well under construction before then to be completed on time (before the 2300 days start), but nor can it start after 2016 because that is not deemed "right at the door," and the political/economic/global confrontation doesn't allow for a later date (see below). The Antichrist will inhabit the Temple (2 Thess. 2.4) so there must be a Temple to inhabit (constructed and completed). Since 2016 doesn't fit the profile to end on Tisha B'Av we are stuck with 2015 as the starting year of the Tribulation. What else? The sign of the Son of man (Matt. 24.30) must occur in the year 2022 and not 2023 if the 2015-22 timeline is the correct one. Amazingly, in the year 2022 Jupiter will the be closest to earth it has been in several centuries visible to the naked eye and expected to be hit with many comets showing a flashing or sparkling show. A sight to behold!

    Isn't this amazing? I needed a sign in 2022 and I got it! I needed the 2,520th day from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to land on a feast day or significant holiday. When I found the 2,520th day Sunday, Aug. 7, 2022 did not directly state there was a Jewish holiday on it I was concerned, but amazingly as I was reading on wiki, I discovered when Tisha B'Av is on a Saturday, it is commemorated the day after instead. In 2022, Tisha B'Av is on Saturday Aug. 6, so it is held on the 7th instead. Praise the Lord!

    Is there any other data we can access? A very strong factor are the oil industry reports which say there is only 900 billion barrels of oil left in the world so at an average of 100 million barrels a day used up, there will be no conventional oil left by 2035. Any war that occurs will occur a good 15 years before that to control the flow of oil in the middle east. By 2020 the Great Tribulation will be well underway. Since in Rev. 9 the 1st woe is 5 months, the 2nd woe is 13 months, we easily can conclude the 3rd woe is 24 months for a total of 42 months of the Great Trib. Simply by using a calendar we can count down the days from the start of the Tribulation to know that the Great Tribulation starts Feb. 25, 2019, the 2nd woe begins July 25, 2019 and the 3rd woe begins Aug. 20, 2020. Rev. 9.16 says 200 million military units will congregate in the middle east in the 2nd woe. This was not possible before. And 1/3 of people of the earth will die in fire and brimstone, a nuclear exchange, also not possible before (v.18).

    Rev. 8 contains the 4 trumpets that make up the first half of the Tribulation, that is, the first 42 months. Rev. 17.16 gives further details, and all that I would ask is that you read both chapter 8 and Rev. 17.16 together and imagine from that language if you can see a nuclear bomb blowing up the Vatican, the great harlot of religious Rome (ch. 17), that makes drunk the nations with the wine of the wrath of her fornications (14.8). I am convinced it will happen into the first half of the Trib so likely somewhere between 2016 and 2019.

    We can now render a conclusion with 100% certainty for the Bible to remain consistent in its prophecies. We know the first rapture according to readiness is Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 and Jesus steps down on the mount of olives Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022 (Zech. 14.4, Acts 1.11, Rev. 1.7, 19.11-16). The last trumpet rapture and resurrection of all those saints who are alive and left, together with those who are asleep, will be taken up just before the 7th Trumpet bowls of wrath (Rev. 11.15, 1 Cor. 15.50-52, 1 Thess. 4.14-18) because were are not appointed unto wrath. Obviously, those who are alive are left. Why this apparent unnecessary redundancy? Fortunately it is only apparent. What is meant is that if you are a saint who is alive it is because you were left and not taken at the first rapture.

    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).

    Since nature can't come from non-existence, we know the universe did not start from nothing. And we know the universe could not always have existed, because if it had, you would have had an eternity to come into being before now and mankind would not still be sinning to to the extent it still does do along the exponential progression of conscience we are clearly on. Therefore, logically speaking, nature needs a cause outside of itself, outside of time and space, being uncreated. This sole uncreated Creator is whom we call God who alone was from everlasting before time and space.

    A personal God trumps an absentee landlord of other religions, for how can God have standards and morals below our own as we ought to be personal and accessible to one another. Where does God reveal Himself in nature? Only did Jesus ever prove Himself personally to be God because the Apostles He spent 3 years with testified to His death on the cross such as John, with Jesus' mother and Mary, who places himself at the cross when Jesus died. But miraculously those same Apostles testified even to their deaths and as martyrs for their eyewitness testimony over and over in various group settings, for which there is no naturalistic explanation. People don't willingly die for what they know is a lie, and group hallucinations according to the DM-4 Psychology Manual says there are no such thing as group hallucinations (no accounts in history) though people can hallucinate individually different things. The Bible gives us twelve different group settings where the Apostles talked with, walked with, touched and even ate with the physically risen Lord. No better proof can be established for the authenticity of Jesus being the Creator of the universe for man can't resurrect himself so salvation is only through Him, and that unless you confess Him as your Lord and Savior you will surely die in your sins and be sent to Hell for eternity. People will not have a change of mind after they die so the decision is decided in this life. The elderly never have a change of mind with regard to Christ. It seems it is more painful for a person to repent in the next life than it would be to place oneself in subjection dependent on His Creator.

    When will the judgment take place? Jesus said there would be three signs in precise order before His parousia which lasts 7 years according to Daniel and Revelation. This is the Tribulation. Before it occurs there is a great earthquake, black sackcloth solar eclipse and red blood moon we will be able to identify (Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20, Rev. 6.12).

    The great earthquake was either individually or taken together Haiti 2010 and Japan 2011, for we observed the greatest number of deaths per capita, 2nd most deaths or greatest financial loss and 4th greatest magnitude on record. Taken together, there has never been a one two punch, year over year, of such proportions.

    2012 passes by of no significance contrary to peoples' expectations, but in 2013 on Nov. 3 is a long H3 solar eclipse which finishes off as a total eclipse to produce that black sackcloth effect. It has only happened 3 times since Christ. Very rare! and it won't happen again till 2172. Surely this qualifies as unique and easily identifiable like the earthquake that preceded it.

    Thirdly, 2014/15 is a total lunar eclipse that lands on passover, tabernacles and again on passover and tabernacles. It has happened only 7 times since Christ. The 6th and 7th time was when Israel became a nation and when Israel entered Jerusalem. Never before have two feast Tetrads been closer than 18 years apart, and the next feast Tetrad won't occur again till 2582/83. That is simply too amazing a coincidence especially after we are called to look for these signs like the three wise men who saw the star to locate the baby Jesus then another star was shown to confirm his location again so they could be certain. God often follows up a personal revelation of signs with another to confirm the certainty of the first revelation.

    The probability calculation of all this (ask me how each was derived) is 2010 (earthquake) x 700 (long H3) x 100,000 (Tetrads) x 19/7 (2,520 days) x 7 (Sunday) x 7 (Tisha B'Av held over) x 6 (exact order) = 112 trillion to 1. Just ask yourself, could there be better signs? Nope. If this is not enough to satisfy you, nothing will and your choice is already made.

    Since Jesus returns right at the door (Matt. 24.32-33) after Israel is a nation (1948) this wouldn't be more than a lifetime of 75 years (Ps. 90.10) by 2023 in context of what is "very near" with respect to only the past 2000 years. But since there is no 2,520 day period (360 x 7) in 2016-23 and the Tribulation can't start before 2015, we know without even calculating that there must be 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets (first rapture according to readiness) Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022 (Zech. 14.4, Acts 1.11, Rev. 1.7). Interestingly enough, 2,520 days is the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 2 to 10 as a basic working prophetic unit foreshadowing the Tribulation like when Jericho was circled 6 times (cf. 6 Seals in Revelation) by Israel in six days before the 7th time (cf. 7th Seal) on that day was circled 7 times and blowing the trumpets 7 times. The 7th Seal opens up the 7 trumpets of the Tribulation. Since the moon is a key sign, it is interesting that it is about 2,160 miles in diameter (6 x 360). Vital is Tisha B'Av when the 1st and 2nd temples were destroyed. The reason this is important is because Jesus will reign for 1000 years in the 3rd Temple (2 Thess. 2.4; Jude 14,15; Rev. 11.2, 12.5, 20.4).

    For non-Christians there is nothing we can say more beyond the gospel, but for Christians knowing this in order to escape the hour of trial that is to come upon the whole world, the believer would need to keep the word of His patience (Rev. 3.10) to be received up "before the throne" (7.9) before the 1st trumpet of the Tribulation (8.7) begins. Though a Christian can't lose eternal life (John 10.28), he can lose the reward of the first rapture if he is not watchful (Matt. 24.40-42) and prayerful (Luke 21.36). As well the saved can lose the reward of returning with Christ to reign during the 1000 years (2.26, 20.4-6) as kings and priests over the nations with a "rod of iron" (12.5). Many Christians are tied down to the world like a balloon unwilling to be released and received up. Non-overcomer believers will spend 1000 years in outer darkness, outside the light of reigning with Christ during the millennial kingdom. They shall be disciplined, be full of regret and sorrow for being carnal Christians and not spiritual ones. 1000 years is a long time before they can enter the New City and New Earth in the New Heaven.

    Jesus was cursing the fig tree for having no leaves representing Israel for having no life after all He has done for them. In Matt. 24.33, Jesus says His return is "very near" after Israel becomes a nation again, branches beginning to bud (v.32), so within a lifetime of 75 years (Ps. 90.10) from 1948. No later than 2023! The 7-year Tribulation can't start any later than 2016. Jesus said the disciples could not know when He returns prior to Israel becoming a nation again.

    Even then most people won't know so they are told to be watchful for Jesus will come like a thief in the night, "but ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief" (1 Thess. 5.4). "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you" (1 Thess. 5.1).

    Jesus doesn't contradict Himself when He said "you can know" (Matt. 24.33) when He returns after Israel is a nation again (v.32) then turn around and say you can't know (vv.35-36). Hence, the latter passage is referring to "earth shall pass away" after the 1000 year reign with a rod of iron, not to when Jesus returns. Rods of iron are for earth not for heaven. Jesus returns 1000 years before the end of the 1000 year reign on earth. That would be weird if Jesus returns the day the earth ends because there would be no mount of olives to step down on (Zech. 14.4). The reason why you can't know when the 1000 years starts is because we are not quite sure when it begins at the consummation of this age either at the start of the Tribulation or at the end of the Tribulation or somewhere in between.

    We are also told to look for signs in the cosmos for when the Tribulation starts. In the 6th seal, Rev. 6.12 (Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20) says 3 things must occur before the Tribulation starts since the 7th seal opens up the loud 7 trumpets of the Tribulation. The first rapture according to readiness (Rev. 3.10, Luke 21.36) is "before the throne" (7.9) in 3rd heaven before the 1st trumpet (8.7) commences the Tribulation. The resurrection is at the start of the last trumpet (11.15) which is the harvest (14.14-16) to meet the Lord in the air (1 Thess. 4.14-18).

    "When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood" (Rev. 6.12).

    First, a great earthquake! The second greatest number of deaths occurred in Haiti 2010 and most per capita 1 in 27 people. The 4th or 5th greatest in magnitude occurred in Japan 2011 and was the greatest financial loss. Never before in history have two earthquakes of such massive proportions occurred back to back, year over year.

    Second, a black sackcloth solar eclipse! There are 4 kinds of solar eclipses. The rarest is the Hybrid occurring about 5% of the time. There are 3 kinds of Hybrids, the rarest being the H3 about 5% of the time which finishes off as a total eclipse to produce that black sackcloth effect. The 4th long H3 since Christ is Nov. 3, 2013. It won't happen again till 2172.

    Third, a red blood moon lunar eclipse! The rarest kind of lunar eclipse is the lunar tetrad. A tetrad is when there are 4 red blood moon total eclipses in a row over two years. And it is even rarer when it lands on passover, tabernacles, and again on passover and tabernacles. Passover is the first of Israel's seven feasts representing atonement. And Tabernacles is the last feast pointing to the future millennial kingdom when Jesus returns to tabernacle with us. The 6th Total Lunar Tetrad since Christ was 1949/50. Israel became a nation May 14, 1948 and signed the Armistice treaties in 1949. The 7th feast Tetrad was 1967/68. Israel took over Jerusalem June 7, 1967. This is the first time in history two feast Tetrads were this close 18 years apart. The 8th Tetrad is 2014/15 and won't happen again for nearly 600 years in 2582/83. There is no unique solar eclipse next to that Tetrad way off into the future. As a double fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy, it would take seven sets of seven years from the declaration to rebuild the Temple for it to be completed. This is 17,640 days or 360 days/yr x 7 sets of 7 years (Dan. 9.25). From June 7, 1967 to Sept. 23, 2015 is also 17,640 days. This day happens to be the Day of Atonement which is 10 days after the first rapture Feast of Trumpets.

    Considering these undeniable facts, the Tribulation can't start before 2015. Next, we need a 2,520 day period for the Tribulation since all of Daniel's sixty-nine sevens are 2,520 days each. 2,520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers 2 to 10 as Daniel's basic working prophetic unit. This is triply confirmed since Jesus was "cut off" (Dan. 9.26) after 69 sets of seven years or 173,880 days from the declaration to rebuild the temple Nisan 1, 444 BC (Neh. 2.1). This takes us to Nisan 10, Monday, Mar. 28, 33 AD (Gregorian), the day Jesus entered Jerusalem and the first day of the four day inspection of the lamb. The 4 day inspection was Mar. 28, 29, 30, 31. Jesus was captured on Thursday, Mar. 31 then He died on the cross Nisan 14, Passover, Friday, April 1, 33 AD what Satan calls April Fool's Day. The first 4 feasts refer to the following: atonement, set apart for three days, resurrected and Holy Spirit indwells. Since the last 3 feasts pertain to Jesus' second coming (rapture, salvation, millennium) and the first of those feasts deals with the first rapture (Rev. 7.9), the 2,520 day period must count down from Feast of Trumpets. There is no holiday on the 2,520th day in 2023 from Feast of Trumpets in 2016.

    The 2,520th day from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 takes us to Sunday Aug. 7, 2022. Yet I could find no holiday on that day either until I realized when Tisha B'Av falls on a Saturday it is held the day after instead. So is the case in 2022. Tisha B'Av was when the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed. This is of great significance because Jesus returns to reign in the 3rd Temple (2 Thess. 2.4, Rev. 11.2) for 1000 years (20.2-7) over the nations with His overcomers (2.26, 20.4-6) and a rod of iron (12.5). He returns with 10,000 of His overcomers (Jude 14,15), the 5 wise virgins (Matt. 25.1-13). The 5 unwise virgins though saved and have eternal life which can never be lost (John 10.28) would not be included in the first rapture nor the return to reign during the 1000 years. They would be resurrected at last trumpet. This is accountability for Christians to "overcometh" mentioned 7 times in Rev. 2 & 3. Christians all overcome but not at the same time. There is a firstfruits (12.5, 14.1-5) and later harvest (14.14-16), advanced parties and harbingers in every sphere. Many Christians prefer to be tied down to the world like a balloon unwilling to be released so they shall lose this reward by being cast into outer darkness, outside the light of reward of reigning with Christ during the millennium.

    Outer darkness is like being in the forest and seeing a beautifully lit cabin but not allowed to enter until the occupants come out to take them to the mansion. Or it is like painting a house, but if you are sloppy with the paint getting it all over yourself, you will need to remove it with some solvent like gasoline which stings before you can enter the shower.
