596B.C. 5th day 4th Biblical month(30th year of 50-597B.C. 10th day 7th month to 596B.C. 9th day 7th month) is the 5th year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah. This year is also called the 30th year. Ezekiel 1. This would be year 30 of the Biblical calendars 50-year cycles which began on the 10th day of the 7th month. The Day of Atonement. Year 50 called the Jubilee. Leviticus 25.
The Jubilee is a Sabbath. A year of liberty. When every man is returned unto his possession and family. A year of no planting or harvesting. Leviticus 23, 25. The 7th 14th 21st 28th 35th 42nd and 49th years of the 50-year Jubilee cycle are also Sabbaths. Liberty years. The 12(13) Tribes of Israel were not allowed to plant or harvest. All debts between them were forgiven. And all servants who were their brethren and bought for a price were released with provisions. Exodus 21, 23. Deuteronomy 15. Jeremiah 34.

After being instructed by GOD to do so in 596B.C. 5th day 4th month 30th year. Ezekiel lay on his left side for 390 days to cover the sin. Bear the iniquity of The House of Israel. The 10(11) Northern Tribes. Samaria. Who lived in Assyria. Second Kings 18. THE MOST HIGH told Ezekiel that He had appointed him each day for a year. Ezekiel 4. 596B.C. Plus 390 years is 206B.C. 5th day 4th month 20th year. The year that Antiochus 3rd was given the title of the great king for reviving the Seleucid empire by removing the Ptolemies from Seleucid territories. Whose successor Antiochus 4 attacked Jerusalem and stopped the sacrifice in the Temple.

Ezekiel then lay on his right side for 40 days to cover the sin of Judah. Who were now in captivity in Babylon. 595B.C. 5th day 5th month 31st year plus 40 years is 555B.C. 5th day 5th month 21st year. The year that Nabonidus king of Babylon set up his son Belshazzar. Daniel 5. As Co-Regent over Babylon. He also places at this time the moon idol called Sin above the chief Babylonian idol Marduk. With the Babylonian king and his successor no longer respecting the GOD of Israel like was done in the time of Nebuchadnezzar. The atmosphere in which the Jewish people have to live in in Babylon becomes more nefarious. This is also what Mohammed did 1000 plus years later when he took 1 of 360 idols worshiped in Mecca. The moon idol called Sin or Al-ilah. Allah. And claimed that it was ELOHIM. THE GOD of creation. The GOD of Abraham Isaac and Israel. Modern Islam is the continuation of the idolatrous worship of the moon.

Ezekiel at this point is no longer covering the sin of Judah. The Jewish people then suffer a period of punishment by THE ANCIENT OF DAYS of seven times for their sin. A time is one year. Leviticus 26. 555B.C.Plus 2520 years is A.D.1966 5th day 5th month 41st year. The period of punishment for Judah is over. 23 days 9 months later on June 7th A.D.1967 28th day 2nd month 42nd year. The Jewish people regained control of the Temple Mount and all of Jerusalem was once again the capital of Israel. The Bible refers to this event as the time of the gentiles being fulfilled. Luke 21.
When using a calculator to make these calculations you have to add on one year when crossing over from 1B.C. to A.D.1. This is because there is no year zero.

722B.C. 5th day 4th month 4th year. 6th year of Hezekiah king of Judah. 9th year. Last year of Hoshea king of Israel. Second Kings 18. The year Israel. Samaria. The 10(11) Northern Tribes fell. Were carried off to Assyria. Plus 126 years. The reign lengths of the kings of Judah from Hezekiah to Jehoiachin. Second Chronicles 29. Is 596B.C. 5th day 4th month 30th year. 722B.C. plus the seven times 2520-year punishment period is A.D.1799 5th day 4th month 24th year. The beginning of the Kingdom. Great Nation. Jacob's birthright. Which was given to Ephraim. In our time. His Majesty King Charles III of Great Britain. And Manasseh. President Donald J. Trump of The United States of America. The children of Joseph, son of Jacob while they were still in Egypt. Genesis 35, 48. Deuteronomy 33:13-17. First Chronicles 5:1, 2.
On July 19th A.D.1799 16th day 4th month 24th year the Rosetta Stone was discovered allowing Egyptian history and culture to be known by using the stone to translate the Hieroglyphics carved into their stone monuments. Tombs. Pyramids. July 19th is equal to the first day of the ancient Egyptian calendars first month called Akhet. The beginning of their civil year.

If at the end of the year-in the revolution of the year. Second Chronicles 24:23. At the return of the year. First Kings 20:26. Second Chronicles 36:10. The coming in of the year. Second Kings 13:20. When the year is expired-at the return of the year. Second Chronicles 36:10. In the beginning of the year. Ezekiel 23:21, 40:1. Is at the 1st day of the 1st month. The prophetic numbers 1290 1335 deal with the daily sacrifice in the Jerusalem Temple being taken away and an abomination set up on the Temple Mount. And persons being blessed. 12 years before 596B.C. 5th day 4th month 30th year Jehoiachin king of Judah's 5th year of captivity. In the year 608B.C. 1st day 1st month 18th year. The year Nebuchadrezzar. His servants entered the Temple in Jerusalem defiling it by their presence. Removing some of the Temple vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made for the Temple of the LORD. Polluting the House of the LORD. Second Kings 24. Second Chronicles 36. This would have stopped the sacrifices. Made the sacrifices unacceptable to GOD. Made the Temple unclean. Daniel 12 talks about how 1290 years after a sacrifice is stopped there would be an abomination that maketh desolate. Any abomination of desolation always has to do with the Temple Mount. The only place YHWH chose on earth to put His name. 608B.C. plus 1290 years is A.D.683 1st day 1st month 8th year. The year the Muslims started to build the Dome of the Rock. An abomination on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. 1335 years after A.D.683 is A.D.2018 1st day 1st month 43rd year. The Bible states that Blessed are those that waiteth and come to this day. Psalm 25, 130, 145. Isaiah 40:28-31. The United States of America at the direction of President Donald J. Trump moved their embassy to Jerusalem on May 14 A.D.2018 29th day 2nd month 43rd year. The 70th anniversary of the rebirth of the nation of Israel.

The prophetic number 2300 deals with the daily sacrifice and the transgression of desolation. 276B.C. 50th year. The year the Old Testament was translated into Greek. The Septuagint. JESUS connects an abomination to the reading of the scriptures. Whoso readeth, let him understand. Matthew 24:14, 15. Mark 13:10-14. Plus 2300 years. Daniel 8. Is A.D.2025 50th year. Will there be some type of transgression of desolation possibly to do with the daily sacrifice of an animal on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem that is before and not during the 7-year tribulation?

390 plus 40. Since both were prophesied together on the same day. 596B.C. 5th day 4th month 30th year plus 430 years is 166B.C. 5th day 4th month 10th year. The year the Maccabees regained control of Judah. Jerusalem. Rededicating the Temple. John 10:22. The sacrifices. Offerings in the Temple once again covering the sins of the 12(13) Tribes of Israel.

.....

Adding up the ages in Genesis from when Adam was created in 3933 B.C. to Abraham arriving in the land of Canaan at the age of 99 in 1886 B.C. is 2047 years. Adding on 430 years from this date puts the Exodus from Egypt in 1456 B.C. 480 years later Solomon starts to build the first Holy Temple in 976 B.C. From the time Adam was created to the building of the Temple, 2957 years have past. Adding on 368 years to Solomon's fourth year brings us to the third year of Jehoiakim King of Judah in 608 B.C. when the Temple was defiled by Nebuchadnezzar's men. Adding on 1290 years to this date is A.D. 683 when the Muslims built the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. At this point 4615 years have past since Adam was created. 1335 years later Israel celebrates it's 70th anniversary in A.D.2018.
3933 B.C. plus 6000 years since Adam was created is A.D. 2068. Since no one can know the day or the hour of the rapture, A.D. 2068 is 6000 years since Adam was created, not since Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The rapture cannot take place until after A.D. 2068.
If year one of Adam in the book of Genesis is when Adam sinned, and taking the seven year tribulation into consideration, then the rapture cannot happen until at least A.D. 2061.

The 1290/1335 prophecy in Daniel connects our time to the Babylonian period. The 1290 years begins with the first year of the 70 year captivity of Judah, which ended 70 years later. After 1290 years the muslim's built an abomination on the temple mount. 1335 years later brings us to 2018 the 70th anniversary of the rebirth of the state of Israel. 70 year bookends at the beginning and end of the 1290/1335 year prophecy in Daniel.

Connecting our time to the times of the kings of Judah allows us to carry the time line back to Adam showing the rapture is not imminent and that it cannot happen until at least 2061.

The 49th year of the 50 year Jubilee cycle started at the day of Atonement 2023. Years of release and Jubilee years are Sabbath years where no planting or harvesting is allowed. The war in Israel supernaturally stopping the farming in Israel which is forbidden during these years. If you carry this 50 year cycle back into the past it shows that the first temple was started in a Jubilee year (and probably the third) and that Noah left the ark in a Jubilee year.

When you were baptized with fire did you hear the Spirit come like a rushing wind out of heaven and shake the building you were in, if not you have never been baptized with fire. The scripture teaches this happens to anyone GOD chooses to send His Spirit to. After which you would receive your own personal visit by Satan like Christ did, in a dream or vision, where you would be walking beside a giant wearing a white robe being told you will not get away from him.
John 3:8. Acts 2:2, 4:31.

Welcome, or perhaps I should say welcome back, to the forum @grantsmill.

Newbies should be cautioned that setting dates is unwise. History, even recent history, provides us with many practical examples.

“But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Take heed, keep on the alert, for you do not know when the appointed time will come. It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert. Therefore, be on the alert - for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning - in case he should come suddenly and find you asleep. What I say to you I say to all, ‘Be on the alert!’”

(Mark 13:32-36, NASB)

The Messiah didn’t know, nor did he attempt to calculate a date, for his return.

”It cannot happen until at least 2061,” you say.

You may be right but you also may be mistaken. Right or mistaken, it doesn’t align with the Messiah’s instruction to all of his followers to remain alert and could cause some to disregard his teaching. I don’t think that is your intention.

P.S.

Date setting - be it soon or not soon - is ditch digging on one side of the road or the other.

Newbies and long-timers: Stay alert on the road and keep out of the ditches.

You may be right, but you also may be mistaken. Right or mistaken, it doesn’t align with the Messiah’s instruction to all of his followers to remain alert and could cause some to disregard his teaching. I don’t think that is your intention.

Christ did leave instruction as to how we are able to understand when the End time will come into play.

The problem that I initially had was choosing the wrong signpost from which to start my calculations from. I had to discern what signpost I could use from which to gain an insight as to when the End Times will begin and end.

Many people make their first mistake trying to determine the year, from when Adam was created, as to when Arphaxad, Shem's son, was born two years after the flood ended. It is just a little mistake that people make, but the process, surrounding making this error, it will lead to other chronological errors after that if I am not careful in my reasoning.

I am happy to state that the end of this present age will end in around 20 years from now. We have had the early sign from which to measure out about 40 years from that observable sign to know when the fourth age of the visitation of the father's iniquities will end upon their children's children, after which all of Israel will be saved, because another foretold sign will occur around that time that will indicate to us that the seventh age of mankind has begun and all of Israel will be saved.

Jesus also gave a sign parable to indicate as to when this present age will end in a single verse, however, sadly many people skip over this verse and mistakenly come to another conclusion as to what Christ was telling us a few verses later.

The present events that are impacting the nation of Israel right around the world, is also indicating the end of this age and the end of the influence of the Little Horn over the armies that he has been given to accomplish what God has said that he can do until the completion of the time period he was allocated to act within.

In a way I am complying with the Messiah's instruction to remain alert and to watch the End Time Events unfolding. What I have to be careful about is whether or not my interpretation of End Time Prophecy aligns with what the scriptures actually tells us. I believe that my understanding of the scriptures is as accurate as my feeble brain will allow me to understand what is transpiring around me at this present time.

All that I can do is worship God and be thankful that I am in a safe place with Him drawing all of my nourishment from His fertile field in which He has planted me.

Shalom

What you’ve expressed so well is the common rationale of those who engage in date setting.

So be it.

People often associate date setting with charlatans. Sometimes that’s the case, but most often it’s not.

I was just looking at a presentation by a scholar who specializes in Sir Isaac Newton. I met him - the scholar, not Sir Isaac - some years ago at a conference. I’m not sure at the moment how much of the article is dependent on the paper he presented. (I’ll link the article below.)

I don’t consider Newton to be a charlatan but many trinitarians do. That aside, Newton calculated that the end of the age will occur in 2060 - a scant 35 years from now.


Only the passage of time and events reveal whether or not the date(s) set / calculated by men - some well-intentioned, some not - is accurate.

What do you see as happening presently in this world?

I see a mixture of good and evil presently happening in the world. In other words, nothing new under the sun. As for how much longer this present age might last, I don’t know. I think it’s possible that it could be brought to an end in my lifetime - which is unlikely to extend another 35 years.

Whether it happens in my lifetime or not, whether it happens when you and / or others calculate or not, it’s difficult to imagine with man’s rapidly accelerating achievements in technology and penchant for evil that the age will continue for very much longer.

I learned a lesson about date setting as a youngster in June of 1967* (at a Southern Baptist tent revival meeting my grandparents took me to see) that has stayed with me all these years.

* The revival happened sometime during June 5 - 10, 1967; the Six-Day War. The hellfire and brimstone preacher scared the living daylights out of a child that day, and out of many adults who rushed to be baptized in response to his message that this was it, “the end of the world”.

My grandparents cried when my parents wouldn’t give their consent for me to be baptized during the hysteria. Hard words were exchanged, causing a rift in the family that never fully closed.

I don’t consider Newton to be a charlatan but many trinitarians do. That aside, Newton calculated that the end of the age will occur in 2060 - a scant 35 years from now.

I read the link provided and saw that Isaac Newton tried to establish when the end of the age he, and for that matter both of us, were/are living in, will end. He did what many others have done, looked for a signpost upon which he could measure time from to reach his conclusion. He concluded that the year 2060 AD would be the end of this present age whereas I am suggesting that the end of this present age would be around the year 2044/2045, which gives a difference of just 15 years between our respective determination. An acceptable difference error between our respective calculation.

I came to my conclusion by using scripture passages.

The first scriptural was, Ezekiel 47:1-12, and by defining the signpost/starting point for this prophecy, from which I could measure the timespan of this prophecy, and by postulating that a distant of 1 cubic represented 1 (solar) year, I could determine when the final judgement would begin, i.e. the end of the seventh age.

The starting point for this prophecy I surmised was when God's presence filled Solomon's Temple when it was dedicated as the Temple of God.

From constructing a Chronological timeline of the OT, I was able to determine that the Temple was dedicated around 3,168 years after the creation of Adam, which corresponds with the year 932BC. Now Ezekiel 47:1-12 presents a timespan of 4,000 years which if added to 932 BC gives us the year 3,068 AD when the seventh Age ends, and the earth begins to be healed. Now if we also add 3,168 years 4,000 years together we end up with a total of 7,168 years and if we divide this by seven, then we end up with and age/generation having a duration of 1,024 years, which in Compute geek language is 1k or equivalent to 1,000.

Now if an age is equal to 1,024 years and we subtract this number from the year 3,068 AD we determine that the end of this present age will occur at the end of the year 2,044 AD.

The second scripture was

Matthew 24:32: - Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

We know that the symbology of a Fig Tree in the scriptures was often used to represent the nation of Israel. We know that Jesus cursed the fig tree in Mark 11:12-14 because there was bearing no fruit to eat

Mark 11:12-14: -

12 Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, "Let no one eat fruit from you ever again."[1]

Now a fig tree/most deciduous trees, begin budding leaves during the end of Winter in what is often called the early spring, and that between then and the start of the summer season, when the harvest usually take place between 91 and 96 days will pass, depending on when the early spring kicks in during the tail end of the winter season. So, converting these days to years we can conclude that the end of the age will occur around the years 2039 AD and 2044 AD. It is my opinion that 2044 AD is the last year of this present age.

There are also other scriptures which make reference to ages which can be used as well.


[1] I believe that the way this portion of this verse should be paraphrased in this manner: -
Mark 11:14: - 14 In response Jesus said to it, "Let no one eat fruit from you until the last age."
This paraphrase links in with God’s intention in Jeremiah 31:31ff to renew the Kingdom of Priest, a Holy Nation and His Possession among the nations. The “ever again” context in the typical translations does align with the calling on the nation of Israel during/in the seventh Age of mankind.

I see a mixture of good and evil presently happening in the world. In other words, nothing new under the sun. As for how much longer this present age might last, I don’t know. I think it’s possible that it could be brought to an end in my lifetime - which is unlikely to extend another 35 years.

Whether it happens in my lifetime or not, whether it happens when you and / or others calculate or not, it’s difficult to imagine with man’s rapidly accelerating achievements in technology and penchant for evil that the age will continue for very much longer.

I learned a lesson about date setting as a youngster in June of 1967* (at a Southern Baptist tent revival meeting my grandparents took me to see) that has stayed with me all these years.

* The revival happened sometime during June 5 - 10, 1967; the Six-Day War. The hellfire and brimstone preacher scared the living daylights out of a child that day, and out of many adults who rushed to be baptized in response to his message that this was it, “the end of the world”.

My grandparents cried when my parents wouldn’t give their consent for me to be baptized during the hysteria. Hard words were exchanged, causing a rift in the family that never fully closed.

It seems that I have a few more years than you and I would be surprised if I even last another 20 or so years before my toes point upwards.

I see a number of prophecies that are playing out now.

Exodus 20:4-6 is one where the iniquities of the fathers are visited upon their children during the third and the fourth age of the existence of the nation of Israel. It is my understanding that Isaac was born at the beginning of the third age of the existence of mankind and that this prophetic word still has another 20 or so years to run.

Hosea 6:1-3 which speaks of after two days of the lord that God will revive Israel where the duration, in my understanding has the same duration as an age /generation.

A similar theme to Hosea 6 can be found in Lamentations 5:19-22.

In Romans 11:25b-26, Paul makes reference to the time of the Gentiles and when the time of their trampling of God's sanctuary and His earthly hosts comes to its conclusion that all of Israel will be saved. The conclusion of the Daniel 8:13-14 will be heralded by the judgement of the kings of the earth at Armageddon which will happen at the end of this present age/beginning of the seventh age.

The above is just some of the things that are playing out at the moment.

Shalom

Welcome, or perhaps I should say welcome back, to the forum @grantsmill.

Newbies should be cautioned that setting dates is unwise. History, even recent history, provides us with many practical examples.

“But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Take heed, keep on the alert, for you do not know when the appointed time will come. It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert. Therefore, be on the alert - for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning - in case he should come suddenly and find you asleep. What I say to you I say to all, ‘Be on the alert!’”

(Mark 13:32-36, NASB)

The Messiah didn’t know, nor did he attempt to calculate a date, for his return.

”It cannot happen until at least 2061,” you say.

You may be right but you also may be mistaken. Right or mistaken, it doesn’t align with the Messiah’s instruction to all of his followers to remain alert and could cause some to disregard his teaching. I don’t think that is your intention.

P.S.

Date setting - be it soon or not soon - is ditch digging on one side of the road or the other.

Newbies and long-timers: Stay alert on the road and keep out of the ditches.
Not date setting, just showing the exact numbers given in the scriptures and how they show a 6000 year timeline. The scripture doesn't say if Adams year one is his creation or when he sinned. So these numbers don't show the exact day or hour.

People often associate date setting with charlatans. Sometimes that’s the case, but most often it’s not.

I was just looking at a presentation by a scholar who specializes in Sir Isaac Newton. I met him - the scholar, not Sir Isaac - some years ago at a conference. I’m not sure at the moment how much of the article is dependent on the paper he presented. (I’ll link the article below.)

I don’t consider Newton to be a charlatan but many trinitarians do. That aside, Newton calculated that the end of the age will occur in 2060 - a scant 35 years from now.


Only the passage of time and events reveal whether or not the date(s) set / calculated by men - some well-intentioned, some not - is accurate.

When the Temple mount is back in the control of the Jews-1967 there shall be signs in the Sun and in the Moon and in the stars.
In 1968 NASA sent space craft to study the Sun and Venus for the first time, if I'm remembering properly out of earths orbit and in 1969 landing on the Moon.

Have you spoken with @gaviria.christian? He has calculated that Jesus will return in 2026 and has guaranteed it. The details he provides are extraordinary.

I asked him what he will do when that doesn’t happen. He can’t be moved. He’s absolutely certain that it will.

I think it will destroy him; but whether it does or doesn’t, at a bare minimum he’ll owe his readers an apology.

Newbies and long-timers: Stay alert on the road and keep out of the ditches.
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

A.D. 2025, not yet the beginning of the seventh day, minus 6000 years is 3976 B.C. it can't be 4100 B.C., it's two far back in time.

I realised that the number that can be counted upon the ten digits on our two hands is considered to be 1k which is 2.4 % greater than 1,000 means that Isaac was born at the start of the third age 2,049 years after the creation of Adam, if we accept the Biblical chronology.

I have been consistently suggesting that all of Israel will be save after the year 2044 AD and subtract 3 x 2048 from 2044 AD we arrive at the number of 4,100 BC.

Now I am happy to be wrong, but so far, I have not been shown any proof that demonstrates that my ballpark assumptions are wrong.

Anyway, I do welcome any constructive input.

Shalom

I am happy to be very different in my understanding of the scriptures. The Biblical chronology of the patriarchs does confirm my conclusion when I insert the year in which the flood ended with respect to Noah's lifetime. That chronology confirms that Isaac was born 2049 solar years after God created Adam, i.e. in the year 2051 BC.

How many accept the Roman numbering system based upon the 10 digits upon our hands, then the 10 x 10 = 100 and then the 10 x 100 = 1,000.

That is not God's numbering system.

Shalom
