How do You Determine When the Tribulation Starts?

I am going to state some absolute facts to determine when Jesus returns.

Daniel's seventieth seven is 2,520 days like all of Daniel's sevens. The Tribulation, therefore, is 2,520 days (7 x 360 ... 30 x 84 ... 1260 x 2) or 2,550 days (1260 + 1290 Dan. 12.11). Every 7 out of 19 years there are 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets to Tisha B'Av and every 12 out of 19 years 2,550 days to Day of Atonement.

One condition for the return of Jesus is the 3rd Temple must be completed so there are 2300 days (Dan. 8.14) from Passover to Tisha B'Av. There are 2300 days from Passover 2023 to Tisha B'Av 2029.

Nobody has been able to figure out what the "sign of the Son of Man" (Matt. 24.30) is other than it occurs in the year Jesus returns. It is asteroid Apophis April 13, 2029, about 3 football fields in length, and comes within 25,000 miles, satellite distance of earth. The last time an asteroid of this size hit earth was 80,000 years ago. Nothing is more spectacular than this. Jesus, thus, steps down on the mount of olives later in 2029 somewhere in the vicinity of Tisha B'Av,Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. Tisha B'Av was when the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed. Feast of Trumpets represents the first rapture according to readiness (Matt. 24.40-42, Luke 21.36, Rev. 3.10). Day of Atonement pertains to all those who are saved. Tabernacles addresses the fact Jesus will return to tabernacle among people for 1000 years on earth.

Assuming it takes 4 years for the Temple to be completed like the $300 million temple in Brazil, construction must begin by 2020 at the latest to be completed by Passover 2023.

We have additional confirmation because Comet Shoemaker broke up into 21 pieces, crashing into Jupiter, which foretold the three Biblical 7 year periods to follow. Tammuz 17 was when sacrifices ceased for 3 weeks and concluded with Tisha B'Av when the Temple was destroyed. The 7th year of each 7 year period was a Shemita year when debts were forgiven. The last day of each Shemita year is Elul 29. On Elul 29, the DJIA dropped 7% after 911 in 2001; dropped 7% on Elul 29 in 2008; and will drop 7% on Elul 29, Sept. 13, 2015.

There is even more confirmation. 2015 is a Jubilee year. A Jubilee year is when all land and assets are returned to their rightful owner. It occurs every 50 years. It is the 120th Jubilee since Adam when Adam was 18 years old in 3986 BC. Age of accountability for him! He was born 4004 BC. These dates are determined from adding the ages up in the Bible. A Jubilee is 1 year plus 7 x 7 years. Israel took over Jerusalem June 7, 1967. There are exactly 7 x 7 x 360 days (17,640) from June 7, 1967 to Day of Atonement Sept. 23, 2015.

2015 is also the year of the Super Red Blood Moon. It occurs on Tabernacles. It is also the fourth red blood moon of the feast Tetrad, 2014/15 which is the 8th feast Tetrad since Christ. It won't happen again till 2582/83. This is Rev. 6.12 which occurs shortly before the Tribulation begins: "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." It is a Super Red Blood Moon because it is at perigee with earth, that is, the closest point for the entire year so it looks larger than normal. And it is directly viewed from Jerusalem which rarely happens. On March 20, 2015 there was a total solar eclipse. A unique feature of this event is that the Moon’s shadow swept over the North Pole – something that occurs once every 500,000 years or so, according to organizers of the balloon project.

The great earthquake was Haiti 2010 which killed 320,000 people and was the 2nd most deaths for any earthquake on record. And 2011 Fukushima Japan experienced an earthquake which was the 4th greatest in magnitude anywhere on earth in human record (9.1 Richter Scale). Tonnes of radiated water is pouring into the ocean every day even now. This is a worse nuclear disaster than Chernobyl. The unique solar eclipse occurred on Nov. 3, 2013, the 4th time since Christ. There are 4 kinds of solar eclipses. The rarest is the Hybrid occurring 5% of the time. There are 3 kinds of Hybrids, the rarest being the H3, occurring 5% of that 5%, which completes itself as a total solar eclipse to produce that black sackcloth effect. And it is a long version because according to NASA it lasted more than 1 minute and 30 seconds. In 2582/83 there is no unique solar eclipses attached to the feast Tetrad at that time.

Based on this evidence I am convinced Jesus returns somewhere between Tisha B'Av and Tabernacles in 2029. I favor Jesus stepping down (Zech. 14.4, Acts 1.11, Rev. 1.7) 30 days before the Day of Atonement, particularly, because there are exactly 2,550 days from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 26, 2022 to the Day of Atonement Sept. 19, 2029. 30 days prior would be the 2,520th day for the length of all Daniel's sevens. Jesus will judge the nations (Matt. 25.31-46; Rev. 14.18-20) for 30 days from the 1260th to the 1290th day (Dan. 12.11) then 45 days more to the 1335th day He will set up Israel as the center of all nations from where He reigns in person on earth in the 3rd Temple for 1000 years.

The reason why there is this 14 year gap from when Jesus returns and 2015 is because there is precedence in Scripture for a 7 year period of plenty before 7 years of famine. Therefore, God is fully just in allowing the Tribulation to judge the nations.
