Basic Breakdown Of The Endtimes

Some days I painfully yearn for Christ's return, knowing today is not the day. As I watch Yeshua's prophecies being fulfilled on the nightly news, I question myself, just how close are we to the rapture and the "Return of The Singularity?" We are told that no man can know the "hour" or the "day" of Christ's return, and I concur. However, Yeshua said this in Matthew 24; 32-33, "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when it's branch has already become tender, and puts forth it's leaves, you know the summer is near; even so you too, when you see all these things recognize that He is near, right at the door."

Most Christians would agree that the fig tree is symbolic of Israel and her leaves becoming "tender," as new shoots, refers to her rebirth as a nation. On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly approved a partition plan for Palestine, put forward by the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine. The 1947 UN Partition divided the area into three entities: a Jewish state, an Arab state, and an international zone around Jerusalem. Then on May 14Th, 1948, the day the British mandate expired was the official announcement that the new Jewish state named the State of Israel had been formally established Israel's Independence Day.

In Matthew 24:34 Yeshua says, "Truly I say to you this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." This generation is referring to the generation that sees Israel become a nation, that it would not pass away until all is accomplished. Adding one generation, 70 years, {Psalm 90:10} to the date of Israel's birth, Nov.29Th, 1947, is Nov. 29Th 2017. Subtracting seven years of tribulation would bring us to Nov. 2010.

A second event foretold by Yeshua, ".... and they {the Jews} will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." Luke 21:24

In 70 A.D., forty years after Jesus spoke those words Titus and the Roman army destroyed the temple and the sanctuary taking control of Jerusalem and the Jews were then scattered upon the face of the Earth. Jerusalem remained under Gentile occupation for 1,897 years, until the Six-Day war, when on June 7, 1967, Israel regained control of Jerusalem. The times of the Gentiles ended that day, and the Lord God's promise was completely fulfilled, as a Biblical Israel must possess Jerusalem. The holiest city on Earth, Jerusalem, was now under the control of the sons of Abraham, a miracle of miracles, the prophecy come true.

1967 was truly a Year of Jubilee, the 50th year of a 50 year period. If we were to add one more "Year of Jubilee," of 50 years to this 1967 date, this would bring us to 2017, the final year of Jubilee, Christ’s return.

120 Years of Jubilee

Genesis 6:1- 7, "Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God {demons} saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." "The Nephilim {giants resulting from demons raping women} were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men {giants} who were of old, men of renown."

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

Some Christians believe this scripture, "nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years" refers to the amount of time mankind had left on the earth prior to the flood, but this is not so. Noah built the ark in approximately 100 years, not 120. Genesis 5:32 says that Noah was 500 years old when he first became a father and God commanded him to build the Ark. The flood occurred in the 600th year of Noah’s life. As Genesis 6:11, says, "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened."

Let’s consider this 120 year period. The word for "years" in this passage is the word "shabuum." Shabuum has several meanings in the Hebrew; one meaning is Jubilee years. Jubilee years are 7 weeks of years, which are 49 years, plus one more year, the 50Th year, termed the Year of Jubilee. If we took these 50 years periods and multiplied it by the 120 years given by God for mankind we would come up with 6000 years, which is the approximate age of the earth now.

Now let us reason together the scripture of Isaiah 46:10, "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come...."

The words " in the beginning," and "from ancient times" I believe to be referring to the book of Genesis’, "In the beginning" this is truly from "ancient times." God made known the time line of "the end" by giving us a time line from "the beginning." The Genesis story is of six days of creation and then one day of rest. Perhaps, God is telling us this is the model of the time line of the end, 6 days, "a day is as a thousands years to the Lord." equaling 6000 years. The seventh day, the day of rest, is representative of the millennial one thousand year rest. I can't say for certain that this is the correct interpretation of these scriptures but it does seem plausible and logical, well within the realm of possibility. If this is so, our redemption could be very near.

Yeshua was born approx. 4 BC and began Jewish manhood at age thirteen, the time in which a Jewish person was fully a practicing Jew, being accountable to follow the 613 commandments. {Luke 2:42} This would have placed Yeshua at 13 years old being at approx. 10 AD. {Remember, the A.D. calendar began with year one.) If and this is a big if, this marked the beginning of the third 2,000 year period, Yeshua’s Jewish spiritual heritage, this would bring us to 2010. Adding the "Seventy Week of Daniel" the seven year tribulation period, we would come to 2017.

To illustrate another example, we turn to Ezekiel. He was commanded by God to lie on his side for 390 days (one day for each year pertaining to the exile of Israel). God said He would give Israel 7 times punishment if they refused to obey. This gives a total of 2730 years (390 x 7). Israel was carried away captive to Assyria in 720 BCE. From 720 BCE, adding 2730 years brings us right back to the year 2010.

The last three Jubilees were: 1867 (The final emancipation of the Jews in Austria and Hungry), 1917 (The 400 yr Ottoman rule ended - Balfour Declaration), and 1967 (The Six Day War - Jerusalem was re-united); It's pretty easy to figure out the next Jubilee year, 1967 + 50yrs = 2017 our greatest jubilee as Christ returns to rule in Jerusalem. We are at this threshold today, approaching the 120th Jubilee year (6000 yrs), the time of the restitution of all things.

Acts 3:19-21 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began."

The end IS near brethren so prepare!
