Why Does Jesus Return Tisha B'Av August 7, 2022?
Jesus said to His disciples many centuries ago you can't know when He returns because they did not have enough information at that time. Nor could you know when Jesus returns if you lived anytime prior to 1948. Israel became a nation again May 14, 1948 (Matt. 24.32) so now "you can know his return is very near, right at the door" (v.33) even the day. We need a specific marker related to Israel showing its leaves again.
A Lunar Tetrad is when there are four red blood moon total eclipses in a row over two years. And a Total Lunar Tetrad is when those four red blood moons fall on passover, tabernacles and again on passover and tabernacles. Passover is the first of Israel's seven feasts and Tabernacles is the last one. The 6th Total Lunar Tetrad since Christ was 1949/50. The Armistice treaties were signed in 1949. The 7th TLT was 1967/68 when Israel entered Jerusaelem on June 7, 1967. This was the first time ever in recorded history two TLT's were within 18 years apart so let there be no doubt this is the key marker God wants us to pay attention to! The next TLT is 2014/15 and it won't happen again till 2582/83. The time is now!
"Very near" (Matt. 24.33) would not be more than a lifetime so we know Jesus steps down no later than 75 years (Ps. 90.10) from 1948. No later than 2023! Thus, the seven-year Tribulation could not start any later than 2016.
"And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood" (Rev. 6.12). The sixth Seal occurs right before the Tribulation starts because it is the 7th Seal that opens the 7 Trumpets of the Tribulation.
You'll be able to know the start of the Tribulation because of the first rapture "before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands" (7.9). This rapture is conditional for believers who keep the word of His patience. Not all Christians "keep the word of my patience" (3.10) for Jesus to "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" (v.10). Also see Matt. 24.40-42 and Luke 21.36.
In 2010 there was a great earthquake in Haiti that is recorded as having the 2nd greatest number of deaths of all earthquakes human history, and the most deaths per capita at 1 in 27. In 2011 Japan experienced an earthquake that is recorded as being the 4th or 5th greatest earthquake in magnitude in all of human history. And it was the greatest financial loss. Never before in human history was there ever two earthquakes of such proportions that occurred back to back, year over year.
There are 4 kinds of lunar eclipses. The rarest kind is the Hybrid which occurs about 5% of the time. And there are 3 kinds of Hybrids, the rarest is the H3 which occurs about 5% of the time. It finishes off being a total eclipse to produce that black sackcloth effect. On Nov. 3, 2013 is a long H3 solar eclipse. It will be the 4th one since Christ. A long eclipse is deemed by NASA to be greater than 1 minute and 30 seconds. The next long H3 is not till 2172.
The TLT in 2014/15 completes the geological and cosmic events before the start of the Tribulation. Therefore, the Tribulation can't start any sooner than 2015 because of these 3 events in proper order in Rev. 6.12 that precede the Tribulation.
All of Daniel's sixty-nine sevens were 2,520 days each (Dan. 9.24-27). 2,520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 2 to 10. From the declaration to rebuild the Temple Nisan 1, 444 BC would take 69 sets of seven or 173,880 days after which Jesus would be cut off. The 173,880th day is March 28, 33 AD (Gregorian) on a Monday Nisan 10, the 1st day of the 4 day inspection of the lamb. Jesus was captured on Thursday, March 31 and died on on Passover Nisan 14, April 1, 33 AD. There was a lunar eclipse on April 1, 33 AD (Gregorian).
Therefore, the 70th seven is also 2,520 days. Since the last 3 feasts of the 7 feasts of Israel pertain to His second coming and the Feast of Trumpets, the first of those 3 feasts, deals with rapture and the first rapture is before the Tribulation it would seem reasonable to count down from Feast of Trumpets. There is no particular holiday 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets in 2016.
In 2015, Feast of Trumpets is Sept. 14, 2015. The 2,520th day is Av 10, Aug. 7, 2022 a Sunday. Tisha B'Av, Av 9 lands on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022 but when it is lands on a Saturday it is commemorated the day after instead which works out to be the 2,520th day we are looking for. Tisha B'Av is when Israel commemorates the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples. Jesus shall return to reign in the 3rd Temple that will be completed during the Tribulation (2 Thess. 2.4, Rev. 11.2) with 2300 days left to the end of the Tribulation till it is cleansed (Dan. 8.14). There are 2300 days from April 21, 2016, the 4th day inspection of the lamb, to Aug. 7, 2022. April 22, 2016 is Nisan 14, Passover.
To put this all into perspective we are seeing the unprecedented combination of the great earthquake, unique solar eclipse and unique lunar eclipse in just that order. We know when the first rapture according to readiness is, when the 2,520 days of the Tribulation take place and when Jesus steps down on the mount of olives with His overcomers (Jude, 14,15; Rev. 20.4-6) who get to reign over the nations (2.26) with a rod of iron (12.5) for 1000 years.
It's difficult to accept we are literally the last generation who receive the blessing of being raptured alive, "taken" at the start of the first trumpet if we are watchful and prayerful; or, if "left" to pass through the Tribulation to be raptured, or raptured and resurrected, at the start of the last trumpet (11.15, 15.2-4; 1 Cor. 15.52; 1 Thess. 4.14-18).
But who can deny this data with such record breaking phenomena of signs we are insisted to look out for! As hard as it is for our emotions to accept we really are the last generation before the return of Jesus, if we are willingly to be logical and honest with ourselves, putting our oscillating emotions to the side for the moment, we will embrace this fact wholeheartedly and seek to make ourselves ready.
The "sign of the Son of Man" (Matt. 24.30) is Jupiter in 2022 which will be the closest to earth it has been in centuries.
