A 40 day call of repentance could come forth from a major disaster or a great crisis, just as well as an Elijah's appearance could. Repentance call is a repentance call, regardless of what force God brings about to manifest that repentant attitude. It is not the declaration of the repentance announcement that is necessary toward that repentance....but the need of understanding the necessity of that requirement. This, in my opinion, is more often than not, through some grave revelation of a certain tragic happening.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22728347 I look at it with the point of view that ninevah will stand up and testify against the united states in the end and if a Jonah/Elijah type isn't sent with a 40 day call to repentance the united states would call a "that's no fair" If the "day of the Lord" is the destruction of the u.s and Elijah comes
before the "day of the Lord" it would be to bring a call of repentance before judgement comes
The prophetic time clock should start and
I'm just guessing 40 days after Elijah shows up and the calendar years for prophetic years are 360 day years. So we should have
42 months(1260 days) jacobs trouble then
42 months(1260 days) the
first half of the 7 year tribulation and then
42 months(1260 days) for the
last half of the tribulation and the death of the 2 witnesses for a total of 3780 days from the "day of the lord" to the death of the 2 witneeses.
If Elijah doesn't at least show up 40 days before the "day of the lord" with the attempt to turn the hearts of the children to the fathers I would be bewildered.
I believe Elijah shows up for the call to repentance for 40 and then does the same thing Paul did instead of going into Jerusalem Paul went into arabia(the wilderness) for 3 years to be taught by Jesus as paul states in Galtaians 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
Quoting: waterman Again this is all speculation on your part. The word does not declare any such thing about a 40 day period before the day of the Lord in [Mal.4:5] or anywhere else in the word concerning Elijah. And even though Nineva was warned 40 days in advance, Sodom and Gomorrah only had a one day notice before its destruction, and Elijah had nothing to do with either of those events.
God's word states he will send Elijah before the day of the Lord's dreadful day, but to turn the hearts of men, not to warn of repentance. Now, speculation would attest to the fact that Elijah preached repentance both times he appeared as himself, and as the spirit of the man through the baptist. It still remains speculation and is not a biblical based explanation toward the lucid declaration of Elijah timely method of his purpose or calling at that time.
Neither, is declared the time or a lucid purpose of Elijah's calling in the latter days, except for the purpose of turning hearts toward one another in reunion to themselves (fathers to the children, and children toward the fathers [Mal.4:6].
As to how you intermingle Paul's ministry with Elijah's purpose befuddles me. Again speculation far from any biblical bases. That's like declaring Moses parted the Red Sea, and than declaring that it had something to do with Peter being a fisherman.
Further, I believe that the time period will be when the land appears as the land of Eden, and the season is before the harvest, and the summer is near its end, as the word declares, that the destruction comes forth. None of these events are depictions of a mid Nov event, as you are speculating (40 days after Oct 6) in this nation. It is not summer then, the harvest has ended by then, and the land is mostly barren in its appearance as winter approaches. Far from an Eden appearance throughout the nation. Again only speculation, yet, clearly stated as so in the word.
[Jer.8:20] The harvest is past, the summer is ended and still we are not saved. This appears to be a declaration of a late summer destruction, just before the harvest time. the destruction came and by the time the harvest ends still no other nation came to the nation's aid. Perhaps one reason , but only one, is because of the radiation danger in the land from the destruction, no aid came.
{Joel.2:3] Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but behind them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them.Again, the Nation as a whole, does not have the appearance of the garden of Eden in the middle of Nov, but in the late summer, early fall, is the land's appearance beatific in its own surroundings.
Again I know
your calculations are through the reading of the stars, but without the clarity of the word....the stars all become dim.
