The beauty of time - it just fades away; no one can reverse it.
In this page I would like to make a statement about the time we
live in related to the scriptures
Below are 4 calculations that each represent a possible period when the
'end of this age' is set
Each and every theory stands on it's own but notice the proximity of
all 4 outcomes !
This article has grown as knowledge grew over the years
the original fido/net version can be found
here.
#1 The 7 days in Genesis
Why is this important ?
As you might have noticed we now live in the 21th century according to
the gregorian calender.
2Pe 3:8b [.....] one
day [is] with the Lord as
a thousand years, and
a thousand
years as one
day
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made [.....
] And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
From the first steps of Adam in the Ancient world to the
coming of Jesus in this world are 4000 years.
And from the time Jesus walked this earth to this day is
almost 2000 years, therefore fullfilling the 6th days
A Jewish year is made out of 360 days
2000 x 360 = 720000 days Let's make that gregorian
; 720000 / 365.25 = 1971.[25]
Add the 32 AD when christ was crucified ( 6 April 32 AD )
which is 2003 + 6 months
the year 2003 AD mid summer
That's at the summer
of 2003
As this is "the long shot" I think we're a few years off with this one,
so let's move along and what else can be done to determine the day more
exactly.
#2 The Generation
Matthew 24:32 states :
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender,
and putteth forth leaves,
ye know that summer [is] nigh:"
Jesus talks about a fig tree, the fig tree is a semaphore for Isael
In the year 1967 there was a six day war that caused the
remaining territorys to come into Jewish hands
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This
generation
shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
'These' things refers to all things that seem to take place in the
years after 1967.
In the past 35 years computers came to the scene, the world became a
much smaller place.
the preaching of the gospel has had it's benefits with technology;
A generation is for a long time considered to be 30-33 or 70 years.
I say it's 40 years: 40 years was the time the people of
Israel went through the desert
40 years was the time between the time Jesus entered Jerusalem and it's
destruction 70 AD
Let's do that again on the 1967 generation mentioned in the fig tree
parable:
40 x 360 = 14400 days Let's make that gregorian ; 14400 / 365.25 =
39[.425]
Let's add the day when the Jewish state became a reality ; 11 June 1967.
The outcome is somewhere in october in the year 2006AD
That's
the autumn of 2006
What does this mean ?
Just keep on doing what you're doing.
You already have got the front row seat.
Let's move on to the next one, it does get better then this !
# 3 The
Solar Eclipse of 1999 & 2006
Below is a revised version of a translated document that I send off
into Fido-net in the early days of the Internet (1995)
Edited and finally translated into English from the
original document that I wrote in august 1995
Ac 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood,
before that great and notable day of the Lord come
There are a lot of on-line resources about solar eclipses, the one
that stood out was the one of 11 August 1999
Important note: I wrote this article back in 1995, but until
this day my date calculation still stands;
before I published it I verified this date with several prophets,
and they both confirmed this date as a starting date of the 'last
things to come'
Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up,
[.....]and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every
one that
shall be found written in the book.
1Th 4:16b/17a and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we
which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together
I believe that this scripture is fullfilled at the
end of the seven year period. A period that I believe started
with the 11-8'99 solar eclipse
That should make this scripture a reality around 11th August
2006
Note: the 29th of March 2006 the last big solar eclipse of
the coming 20 years will occur
This is an estimated time, I take no responsibility for damage
caused or actions taken after reading this document
Done at: augustus '95 + minor changes in November
'96 + browsed and edited in May '97 revised in July '97 ;
edited for the new site and translated into english in Februari 2002 ;
added in july 2003
Personal Interpretation : I can see that the solar eclipse of 1999 was
a warning sign of the preparation of infamous the last seven years in
the book of Daniel.
In 1997 I checked that piece of information with a Jewish prophet and
he also agreed with that point of view.
(More people agreed with me at that time, but those I could count as
personal friends, that can not be regarded as independend sources)
Today, as we stand on the brink of another full solar eclipse in the
Middle East & Europe region, I suspect the beginning of the Real
Thing (tm)
There are several reasons that I am so busy with the solar eclipses;
one is Acts 2:20, the other is that I had a very vivid dream that
during the
time of the solar eclipse I raised my hand and got caught up into the
heavens.
Note: the solar eclipse of 2006 will be the last one that occurs in
these circumstances in more then 20 years.
#4 The Feast of The Trumpets
Below is a translated transcript of a 109 page thesis written on the
2nd Coming
This thesis is originally written in Afrikaans with english commentaries
The bulk of the thesis gives proof that important biblical events
fullfill Judaic Feasts
There are some Feasts left
the good part is that those feasts are ordained very precise
As written op page 138 of this 159 page long thesis
"I can't find any other explanation except to say without any
doubt that the by God ordained day
for the fullfillment of 1Thes 4-16/17 (the next resurrection
order) will be at a future Feast of the trumpets. "
The Feast of the Trumpets is called in hebrew "Rosh Hashanah"
and is the start of the new jewish Jear.
With the Jewish calender you can see very easy what date this occures
the next few years
2006 has Rosh Hashanah on the 23th september
2007 has Rosh Hashanah on the 13th september
#5a The 1260 day period of Tribulation
There is a 1260 day period described as the Tribulation of the Jewish
people
In gregorian years this period is 3.45 years. During this period the
man of sin will be revealed;
the force that withholds this event is the Holy Ghost.
This is the middle of the 70th week as described in Daniel's prophecy.
I think that is the day the Holy Ghost leaves this planet, and the
rapture occurs as described by Paul.
This event will presumably be at the end of the 40 years of the state
of Israel.
the end of this 1230 day period will effectively start the period of
the 1000 years of peace.
Israeli rabbi's have declared in 2002 that these are the days of
Jacob's trouble.
Do not underestimate the importance of such a declaration; when the
curch ages
are over, it's their time again, and I believe even as we speak that
the shift to the Jew
is happening right now.
#5b The Babylonian Defeat
& the 3rd Temple Period
Jer 50:9a reads:
For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly
of great nations from the north country [...]
The arch enemy of Israel will
soon be defeated in a short and devastating strike,
allthough Israel obviously will take some hits in this short war,
afterwards it will feel a
lot more safe. But there are indications that this peace might
bring about the
start of the Third Tempel Period, and with it a big milestone for the
Rapture.
Luke 21:25
reads: And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and
in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and
the waves roaring;
The
Planet mars (god of war) will be in september 2003
nearer to earth then it ever was the past 6000 years....
so there might be a big surprise after all.
One
of the activities the Israelites did last time after the defeat of
Nebuchadnessar was to build the Temple.
This scenario might repeat itself; if you take in account that mid-week
of the 70th week of Daniel 9
'the Prince that shall come' will take over the show, and the Holy
Ghost will leave this planet according to
2 Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed
in his time.
This gives the milestone of the 2x
1260 days; this again places the start of the 70th week somewhere after
september 2003
And sets the autumn of 2007 halfway marking the Rapture, and spring
2011 as the Second Coming of Christ.
#6 The Chip
A very famous scripture in the bible reads :
Rev 13:17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the
name of the
beast, or the number of his
name.
I can tell you that this subdermal chip is ready for production and
deployment in payment terminals,
and I presume that in 2004 this system will be at first voluntarily
introduced in Europe.
(Note: this chip has just (7/03) been rolled out in the health sector
in Mexico)
Quote:
"VeriChip are also expected to speed the introduction of a wide range
of advanced
VeriChip applications in security and financial anti-fraud (including
use at ATM machines)."

#7 The BibleCode
Computers have made it possible to search the scripture for words that
are
written in certain sections of the bible.
Apparently the rapture is also found together with a year.
excerpt from
http://www.detailshere.com/biblecode.htm
" In a nutshell folks bible code says the 7 years of tribulation
starts
in 2006, and terminates with Christ's second
coming in 2012 with 2013 being a jubilee year which occurs once every
fifty
years and begins the millenium.
The Jews taking back Israel was predicted by Jeremiah in 6th
century
BC. It happened in 1948 which was a sabbath
year which occurs every seven years. Two sabbath years hence plus one
began
a jubilee year, a six day war in which the Israelis
recovered much property they lost centuries earlier. The
significance
is when a jubliee year occurs, all property is supposed to be returned
to it's original owner. The next jubilee year is 50 years from
1963
then, 2013 if you wish, when the earth is returned to God.
Bible code seems to support this."
Conclusion
I still believe that no one should do anything different then they
ought to do,
but this webpage serves as a signal to all you people out there.
