490 years

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.   Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.” Daniel 9:25

In Daniel Chapter 9, Gabriel told Daniel that his people (Israel) and ‘thy holy city’ (Jerusalem) have 490 years determined to satisfy certain requirements under the Law, and once complete it would account for the Messiah, the Holy one of Israel to be come in the full.  Whether its understood or not, the entire Gentile world is waiting on the conditions outlined in Daniel 9:25 and for Gods ordinances to be completed,

There is a way that seems right to the world and even to some of our own denominational Churches, but its a way that will never rightly divide his word if we’re looking to the flesh instead of the spirit for understanding.   Many denominations, whether they openly acknowledge it or not, attempt to claim the promises God provided to Israel as promises given to the Church.  I believe this is partly what Jesus was referring to in the book of Revelation in his letters to the Seven Churches,

The Church is spirit, and being of his spirit and his body is special and has power for which Jesus is binding and loosing in Heaven as those who having such understanding receive his truth.  The Church in the spirit is set upon a pedestal, the Church, unlike anything ever promised to Israel, will serve as both kings and priests with Jesus, whose coming was after the order of Melchizedek and not the Aaronic priesthood.   And his Church, while being on the Earth and under the authority of Satan,  requires Satan to be bound by our influence with the work of the the Holy Spirit within and thru us.  And its this powerful work which is no longer hindering at the time of the end as Paul wrote, and its how the end is allowed to come when it does come,

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: ”  2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

The Church is awaiting the Bridegroom, the Church is both Jew and gentile and being in the world but not of it until its taken out of the way, and its the spirit of antichrist which has been working against Christ that will be revealed in full measure at the end, for which it immediately follows that God’s promised work with Israel in the flesh, restoring their spirit and knowledge of his truth is also finally allowed to complete,

But this work requires Israel to be restored to the physical land,  as the Earth is flesh and Israel is of the Earth as the third temple and restored as God has promised in his dispensations to fully complete the redemption under the Laws and Ordinances for the flesh.  With Israel being that flesh and standing up today as described in Ezekiel Chapter 37,  yet being without the spirit but still having all of his promises to be completed on the Earth, and its this very process of being restored which is fulfilling so many prophecies it would be difficult to assemble them all,

“When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.” Psalm 102:16

The recent UN vote on the land was a time for all of us who know the truth to be on record, in our own house,  lamenting and sighing over all the evil being done there, so we’ll be marked by God ahead of the coming judgement just as was done in Ezekiel Chapter 9,

“And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.”  Ezekiel 9:4

This world system of Satan, with his hierarchy of influence and ‘principalities and powers’ is attempting to undo the work of restoring Israel completely which God began performing on June 7th, 1967.  The diaspora came with the Laws and Ordinances of God being transgressed, and the restoration came fulfilling the punitive measures God outlined in Leviticus Chapter 25 having now (I believe) come close to being full, with only a time element remaining, with patterns of days that appear to be soon approaching and certain Levitical legal conditions to be reached,

I believe Satan, with this world under his authority and influence and for which we ourselves have been witnesses to in this matter related to the land,  is seeking to prevent the legal conditions to be met for a Jubilee of the land, and for Daniel Chapter 7 and Revelation Chapters 4 and 5 to be fulfilled, but the “court will sit,” and that’s when this age is closing, this is when the end is coming, and this is why dividing the land is so important to understand and consider,

There is (only) a second time for Israel to be restored, the first time was March 14th, 445 BC and led to the Messiah, the Holy One of Israel to arrive precisely under the Law, to the very day as prophesied he would appear, and to be cutoff at 62 of the 70 weeks determined,  being 434 of 490 years (but not for himself) and the Prince who came, having nothing in the physical world given to him.

He arrived as prophesied in Zechariah Chapter 9 and in Daniel Chapter 9 , as to the manner and to the very day,

“For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,  And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. Luke 19:43-44

Counting from the mid-point of a 7000 year (week) pattern:

|Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|
|–1000–|–1000—|–1000–|—-1000—-|—1000—|–1000–|–1000–|
|–———–3500 years———-| March 14th, 445 BC

March 14,  445 BC, as the starting point of the 490 years (or 70 sevens) determined per Daniel Chapter 9, is 69 sevens (x360 days) or 173, 880 days exactly counting to  April 6th, 32 AD, while September 27, 2 BC is precisely 11, 880 days to the very same day.

March 14th, 445 BC                 |—-483 years—-| April 6th,32 AD
September 27, 2 BC                             |33 years| April 6th,32 AD

Of the 70 Weeks or 490 years determined per Daniel 9:25,

|-49-|–434–| = 483 years total to April 6th, 32 AD, 49 with the Jubilee which was rejected and fell upon the Church leaving 56 years remaining of the 490 when Messiah was cutoff or |-49-|-7-|  =  490 years

Jerusalem Restored |——49 years——|Yom Kippur 2015
Jerusalem Restored |——49 years——|–2520–|-–40–|Rosh Hashanah 2022

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people,. .” Isaiah 11:11

Jesus gained his Kingdom in the spirit until he arrives physically with the Jubilee and redeems the Earth (and every living thing) at which time he begins reigning upon the throne of David, as the Prince of Peace, King of Kings and Lord of Lords on the Earth in an undivided Jerusalem as its capital for one thousand years (and a thousand years is as one day)

1290 days

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.”  Daniel 12:11

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:”  John 3:14

I believe Jesus began his ministry on Yom Kippur in 28 AD.  At the beginning of his public work, Jesus read from Isaiah Chapter 61 and confirmed the Jubilee of the Gospel “with the many” and ‘proclaimed the acceptable year of the lord‘ on the very day in the year that it can be accepted on per Leviticus Chapter 25, on Yom Kippur and then we’re purposely shown by the Holy Spirit, he stopped reading and closed the book before continuing to read the next line “and the day of vengeance of our lord.”

September 25th 28 AD|———– 1290 days ———>| April 6th 32 AD

The Seven days that followed the 1290 days of his ministry, where Jesus was “cutoff , but not for himself” occurred on Wednesday, but I believe a much larger time frame is also in view.

Counting From Sunday April 6th to Wednesday April 9th 32 AD for the crucifixion at the exact mid-point of the week, 1260 minutes into the day, He cried out at the 9th hour or 3 PM,

|—3.5 days—|—(-3.5 days)—|

Counting to April 13th, 32 AD after 3 days and 3 nights in the grave (as the sign of Jonah)

Furthermore, Jesus ascended into Heaven 40 days after his  resurrection, requiring that it would have occurred on Friday, May 23, 32 AD being ten days before the Feast of Pentecost that year, or on Monday June 2nd 32 AD when the Church was officially born.

This pattern is repeating in the spirit,  from the time of Moses, representing Israel in the flesh and the first time in Exodus Chapter 19,  when he came back down and broke the Tablets of the Law, requiring a second ascension in the flesh returning on the tenth day of the seventh month, or now being on Yom Kippur.

September 25, 28 AD|—-1290 days—-|–3 days–|   |—40 days—| = 1333 days

“Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”  Daniel 12:12

I conjecture Jesus completed his work in the flesh after 1333 days on the Earth.  Where are those missing two days (or 2000 years) more  to fulfill Daniel 12:12?

Counting from the mid-point of a 7000 year (week) pattern:

March 14,  445 BC as the starting point of the 490 years (or 70 sevens) determined per Daniel Chapter 9, is 69 sevens (x360 days) or 173, 880 days exactly counting to  April 6th, 32 AD, while September 27, 2 BC is precisely 11, 880 days to the very same day.

April 6th, 32 AD is exactly 17 years, or 6120 days (x360) to Wednesday on a 7000 year/week pattern, or being day 1,440,000 (4,000 years) coming to January 6th 49 AD, leaving 7000 more days and then 888 days to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD just as Jesus described,

there shall come in the last days scoffers

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.  For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:  Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:  But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men”  2 Peter 3:3-7

in the valley of decision

“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.”  Joel 3:14

On November 29th, 1947, the very day the UN voted to partition Palestine, the Rabbi that had received the first of the Dead Sea scrolls was listening on the radio to the reports of the UN vote as he drove up to Jerusalem with the scrolls.  God was raising up the word of his prophets at the same moment he was restoring Israel to the land just as he promised.

The oldest manuscripts of Gods word at that time were still over one thousand years after the Gospels were written,  and some had argued we couldn’t be sure what we have had remained unchanged.   All criticism was silenced at the exact same moment in history as he restored his people just as he promised he would.

The complete Isaiah scroll was copied 160 years before Jesus.  I’ve stood myself in Jerusalem at the Israel Museum, at the Shrine of the Book and looked at it behind the glass, its on display as a witness for anyone who cares to consider,

September 20th, 1947|—70 days—| November 29,1947 Partition
September 20th, 1947|–7200 days–| June 7th, 1967 Jerusalem Restored
September 20th, 1947|–25200 days–| September 17, 2016 (70 years)
June 7th, 1967|———–18000 days–| September 17, 2016 (50 years)

The Sabbath day occurring between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur in 1947 was Saturday, September 20th.  That day,  as it occurs,  is a special Sabbath and has the name “Shabbat Shuvah” which means ‘the Sabbath of Return’, ‘return o lord how long?‘ ,‘the days of our years are three score years and ten (70 years)’  Psalm 90:10

Why are the nations against Israel,  and why do they reward lies and hatred?

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”  Ephesians 1:6

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”  Psalm 2:1-3

“For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:” Psalm 83:5

The UN vote was just one more step in this direction, but it was a significant step, an actual agreement must be made at some point in the future, then we’ll see as its written in Joel,

“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,  I will also gather all nations,  and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:1-2

Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria were restored June 7th 1967, and this is exactly what God is referring to here, not Israel restored in general from the captivity from 606 BC as occurred in 1948, but from the desolation of Jerusalem that came in 587 BC with the third siege, and this refers to the time of the end,  after Jerusalem and Judah specifically are restored, and then they divide his land,

Why does God repeatedly mention “the valley of Jehoshaphat” here?

He’s referring us to what he did in 2 Chronicles 20:15.  To show how it was and will be when he fights in the day of battle, to give us evidence and warning, he does nothing that’s not written in the prophets, we are without excuse when he does act, its ending when this day comes.

“And he said , Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed ; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.”  2 Chronicles 20:15-17

Additionally he says “set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD” this also implies the time for us to work is over,  its time to rest in him, the day is over, the night has come,

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.  Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?  I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.  For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”  Isaiah 63:1-4

And as we’re told in Zechariah 14, this is the conclusion of Adams rule, surrendered to Satan in the Garden of Eden,

“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh , and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.  For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken , and the houses rifled , and the women ravished ; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.  Then shall the LORD go forth , and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. “ Zechariah 14:1-3

And then the nations are judged,  it will be as with many of the same nations that have decided as being (for or against) his work,  its the valley of decision,

These prophetic events set in motion circumstances that bring the end of the age, being the day of the Lord upon the whole Earth:

“Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;  Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you.”  Zephaniah 2:1-2

The Nations Assembled together and as world leader have remarked on the 1967 Border being full of reproach and vile against Israel:

“I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.”   Zephaniah 2:8

“Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” Zephaniah 3:8

And for those who lament and sigh over this evil:

“I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.”  Zephaniah 3:18

“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.”  Matthew 25:31-33
