2009 - The Final Countdown Began!

Did 2009 herald the call for us, God's children, to leave our spiritual Egypt and enter the wilderness for (1,260 days/3-1/2 years)? Is a certain point in 2011 marking the end of this age?

Although part of this thread is one written almost a year ago I wanted to add several points....I apologize for the length but feel it is important to understand as I believe the time is....HERE and NOW. If I understand what is being shown correctly then it is time for His watchmen to sound the alarm...


We are His soldiers, we are His watchmen…we are at war!


The many markers of time we're given concerning the last days are.....3-1/2 days, 3-1/2 years, time, times and half a time, 42 months, 1260 days, 1,290 days, 1335 days, hour of temptation, 5 months, 70 years, 70 weeks, 40 years, 40 days, the deadly wound and ten days.

Among the things to consider is that all prophecy given in months is of Satan/lunar/darkness/night. And concerning Biblical days and years a factor is......


So, knowing that 3-1/2 Biblical days represents 3,500 years in the Lord's reckoning.....




....we can consider the above passage to be representing 3,500 years. Those 3,500 years from 2009 AD would take us back to 1491 BC. That was the year the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt! The Exodus began on the first Passover of 1491 BC. So, 2009 is a time of great importance. The Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt on that selfsame day...did it mark the time we too are brought out of Egypt...the selfsame day, 3,500 years later? As the Israelites spent forty years in the wilderness so has the woman, the church. And she/we are now experiencing an additional promised time of….three and one half years....but that time has been shortened!


Then, in the third month, third day of the month after leaving Egypt (which Bullinger put as the 50th day, [Pentecost])....God "spake all these words" and gave us...the Ten Commandments. Our example of what will again happen?



In the above we see two mentions of "three." Third month and third day. The last third is missing...the third hour which shall bring Divine completeness and perfection. The third month, third day and third hour ~ 333. When shall that time happen for that third hour is, I believe, when He speaks to His elect. Before delving into that given time....

The above historical example of the Israelites points to His elect today. We too are called (out of Egypt/the world/Babylon)..."come out of her My people." [Rev.18:4]) Our eyes are opened to see Him at a given time just as they were long ago. He "comes down in the sight" of His children and we are given eyes to see, to understand!

If the (3,500 years/3-1/2 days) began in 1491 BC, the first Passover, then was its ending in 2009 AD a very specific marker of time for us? Do we have (Egypt/carnal desires) purged from our systems? Will we be able to cross into the promised land? What does He tell us about the (3-1/2 years, time, times and half a time, 1,260 days and the 42 months) written of in Revelation and Daniel?


A clue we're given to understanding what time is being taught is, "it rain not in the days of their prophecy," referring to the (1,260 days, 3-1/2 years, 42 months) which I believe is....the 3,500 years beginning in 1491 BC. This time is not during the last days for we ARE given rain in those/these days...former and latter rain. Notice too that in the above passage they tread the court for forty-two months but below the wording has changed. The above time frame shown as (1,260 days, 42 months) is about the 3 1/2 days which is....3,500 years from 1491 BC to 2009. It is in the Lord's reckoning of time which is....the (3 1/2 days/3,500 years) of His timing. Then, it changes to our literal understanding.

The "they that tread" are those that are of the first beast of [Revelation 13], the one-world political system...


Paul warned us that "The mystery of iniquity doth already work," [2Thess.2:7] so we know that the beast has been at work for a long, long time as they tread upon the city, which simply means....they tread on God's children…for (42 months, 3,500 years) but at the end of that time, 2009...it is "given unto him to continue" for an additional "42 months."

From [Rev.11:9-11] we saw that throughout the (3-1/2 days...3,500 years) the many "two" witnesses have been at work, throughout the ages, testifying of God's Word but beginning at a specific point in 2009 we entered a new phase......



Continued....

His (saints/man child) are given "rain, the former rain" and then it is to be followed at another stage with the "latter rain" in the very end of days. This increased understanding is then taught to the "house of Israel,” who are Christians….so they, who are still in Egypt/Babylon..."stand on their feet" and walk out of her.

God's children stand, hear His voice and ascend to heaven...while still walking the earth. This ascension is spiritual and must take place before the end of the age or they are not of the first resurrection [Rev.20:6]


"The same hour," I believe is Satan's hour of temptation [Rev.3:10] which isn't a literal hour but may refer to the time of his great tribulation, or a certain part of it. As he is given his hour to deceive....the man child is given the latter rain to bring in the harvest. Is Satan's "hour of temptation" the same time frame as God's "third hour," on the third month, third day?

The “city fell”...Babylon is fallen, fallen. [Rev.18:2] It doesn't mean she is destroyed...yet, but that she, a spiritual world-wide city, is a fallen woman, the habitation of devils! This is spiritual...her inhabitants have fallen to Satan and his deception.

Notice...it is "they" that hear the great voice...others won't. It is their "enemies" that are aware of this...others are not. It is also important to see what "earthquake" this is for there are two. The first great earthquake, in the above passage, is that of Satan, again mentioned here....


That is the beginning of Satan's "great tribulation." We know it is his time, his earthquake, as...the seventh angel sounds after that, heralding the other "great earthquake." In Satan's time people are falling and being spiritually slain through deception. Note the difference in the next and final earthquake when....


When the seventh trumpet sounds...it is done. Then the great city is divided into three parts and....judged. Those were two different earthquakes with two different results. The division of the world-wide great city of Babylon is taught here....


The perfect remain and are not judged, for they came out of her, out of "great Babylon." The three-way division is between the upright, wicked and transgressors...all of whom receive the wrath of God.

Back to....the rest of the story in [Revelation 11]:

If the "two prophets that tormented them" are represented by Moses and Elijah, both of whom had works with these same times and events we're discussing and both of whom were shown on the mount of Transfiguration, then it is the Holy Word of God, the truth that torments them for Moses and Elijah were prophets of His Word. They are the "two prophets" but not the "two witnesses" for those "two" refer to two groups of many witnesses that speak as led by the Spirit as they testify of the written Word where the "two prophets," are found.

The many two witnesses are the "dead bodies" seen throughout the last 3,500 years and the last 1,260 days that are not placed in graves. How can that be? Because they/we have died to self! We are crucified with Him. As we are spiritually alive we are dead to our carnal nature yet are still encased in physical bodies. Dead and yet cannot be buried!


We die to self, testify for Him wherever He sends us (family, church, forums, etc.) as we are figuratively killed by the misled, or the unbelievers, the blind leading the blind.



This is the beast of [Revelation 13] that makes war against the many two witnesses and later...(the final 42 months) the dragon "went to make war with the remnant of her seed," [Rev.12:17] and they are...the man child. Notice the witnesses "finish" their testimony in each of the places God sends them before they are done away with. This is SPIRITUAL, not physical. Have many been literally killed in His name and will more meet this fate? Yes, but overall this is a spiritual war and the "killing" is being thrown out of a group, a church, a synagogue, being banned from a forum, brother against brother, families divided, etc., for teaching the true Word of the Lord just as Jesus warned us would happen.


The first beast of [Rev.13], the one-world system, was given an additional literal 42 months to "make war with the saints," and is joined with another....


This "war with the saints," has, does now and will continue to happen until the very end...be not offended. Instead, we are to "turn the other cheek," and....



The witnesses are already dead to self (their carnal nature is crucified) and Jesus dwells in them as they testify. His Spirit speaks through them. Their dead bodies, (dead to self bodies), cannot be buried for they still live physically and the testimony they gave LIVES in the minds of those that saw and heard, or in the case of forums.....in the minds of those that read the words. The flesh nature,"dead bodies," remain in the streets of the world (Egypt and Sodom) while they have been spiritually translated into His kingdom as they walk under the sun....


That translation is when they hear the great voice [Rev.11:12], when they are called to "come up hither." They spiritually ascend but physically walk the earth. Their enemies know this and "make war with the saints" but they no longer have "power" over them. His saints are the "stars of heaven," and are called.....by name:


That, I believe, is the accounting of the time of prophesy of the witnesses in the wilderness....the 3 1/2 days...which is 3,500 years in the Lord's time, beginning in 1491 BC and ending in 2009. We know that time happens before the very last days as He tells us....


The time of (3 1/2 days/3500 years) may be finished and if so then we are in the last days, the (42 months/1,260 days/ 3 1/2 years). And, that time has been shortened!

There are other markers of time we're given to understand the last days, one of which is...seventy years!


Continued....

Using the date of the first Passover of 1491 BC as the beginning of 3,500 years, which would end on sundown of Passover April 8, 2009.....what then began the last time frames? If 2009 was indeed the year of both events then we can assume we were given signs. We were and...more than once:

Blessing Of Sun, April 8, 2009 ~ By Rabbi Arthur Waskow​

On April 8, 2009, the 28-year cycle of the Jewish ceremony of Blessing the Sun will come ‘round again. Below you will find the essay on the celebration on April 8, 1981, of this extraordinary event — one of the least-known but most joyful of Jewish ceremonies — from my book SEASONS OF OUR JOY (Beacon Press). Let us begin to plan for 2009. — Rabbi Arthur Waskow

Today [April 8, 1981], as I complete this book, is perhaps the strangest of all the seasons of our joy for it will not come again for twenty eight years. It is the day of the Blessing of the Sun Birchat Ha Chamah.

On that day, according to the Talmud, the sun returns to where it was in the Heavens on the fourth day of Creation, That was when God set the sun and the moon to “SERVE AS SIGNS FOR THE SEASONS." (Gen. 1:14). So today it is in a sense the season of the seasons, the cycle of the birth of all our cycles.

Why today? Because alongside the view that the Creation of the World occurred in Elul and Tishri, at Rosh Hashanah time, the Talmud preserves another view: that the Creation occurred in Nisan, the first of the months, in spring. Evidently to the rabbis it felt particularly appropriate that the birthday of the sun should be at the spring equinox, when the sun emerges from the womb of winter and crosses the Equator coming northward. The Torah teaches that the sun was created at the beginning of the fourth day — Tuesday evening, to use our present labels. So the moment when the sun is again where it was at the beginning comes in a year when the equinox as the rabbis defined it comes on Tuesday evening in Nisan.

The Rabbi quoted [Gen.1:14], which is in itself telling for the numbers [1&4] in various combinations, are indicative of God's elect. And that holds true in this case for as well as signs in the sun and moon (symbolic of Christ and Satan), signs are also "in the stars." As stated above...stars are His saints. When asked by His disciples, His stars, about the end of days, He said....


In those last days, should someone remain deceived, (which being with child and giving suck refers to) then...woe to them. When the last trumpet sounds and they haven't repented then there shall be...wrath upon this people. The signs of end times are given us in the sun, in the moon and in the stars (in us)! Do we see and hear His truth over the roaring of the sea...for the sea and it’s waves, the deceivers, shall be speaking great and swelling words of peace and love; all deception! The wicked say, "Peace, peace, when there is no peace." [Isaiah 48:22]



The last days began at a point after the 3,500 years ended. The day, April 8, 2009, the end of the (3 1/2 days/3,500 years) from the beginning of the Exodus, also ended another time marker, the seventy years of desolation. The ending of both, on 4/8/2009 Passover, served as signs. They are part of the "times and the seasons," [1 Thess.5:1] we are to know. So, not only was Passover, which corresponds to the full moon of Nisan, a sign but the sun too was a marker. The sun and the moon both served...on that specific date....as times for the season!


Bullinger tells us that the text show it as, the "whole" moon became as blood. In other words...the sixth seal begins at a full moon. April 8, 2009 was...a full moon. Was it the sixth seal? I don't know.

Seventy is the combination of two perfect numbers, seven and ten. It exhibits the significance of each in an intensified form. Hence [7x10] signifies perfect spiritual order carried out with all spiritual power and significance. Both spirit and order are greatly emphasized. ~ Numbers in Scripture, E.W. Bullinger

On September 1, 1939....Germany attacked Poland and WW11 began with its main thrust of total annihilation of Jews, the (house of Judah). Two days later, September 3, 1939 England (Ephraim) declared war! 1939 plus seventy is...2009 (the same year that ended the 3,500 years from 1491 BC.) Two years and three months later, on December 7, 1941 (the date that shall live in infamy - FDR) the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States (house of Israel) entered WW11. Israel, all of Israel, Christian and Jew were engaged!

At 4:45 on the morning of September 1, 1939 (the morning following the staged attack), German troops entered Poland. The sudden, immense attack by the Germans was called a Blitzkrieg ("lightening war"). ~ World War 11 Starts - Jennifer Rossenberg

Interesting! A "lightning war." Biblical lightning is symbolic of angelic beings...from both sides. Lately I've noticed programs about WW11 and the Nazi connection to the occult and UFO's. A lightning war! You’ll notice below that it isn’t written, “run like lightning” but is ….”run like THE lightnings.” The lightenings are entities. The following is a good description of that horrendous war...


The shield's of Hitler's mighty men "made red," from their evil slaughter of innocents. His "valiant men are in scarlet," scarlet being...the color of the beast......[Rev.17:3] "So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns." The world-wide beast and its world leaders wear its colors proudly.

WWII: Marked by significant events involving the mass death of civilians, including the Holocaust and the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it was the deadliest conflict in human history,[2] resulting in 50 million to over 70 million fatalities. (World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Not long ago I watched the documentary, "Genocide," by Simon Wiesenthal, narrated by Orson Welles and Elizabeth Taylor. It is difficult to find words that can in any way describe that time but...that documentary speaks volumes.

In 1939 the seventy years of tribulation began and God called together His "great army"......is WW11 the time written of in Ezekiel? Or, is it speaking of the very last days? I don’t know but the valley of dry bones shall live, stand on their feet and come out of their graves, walking away from their spiritual death!




Continued....

Perhaps His literal great army going to battle against Hitler was a shadow of His spiritual great army gathering now. Jacob/Israel ~ the house of Judah and the house of Israel....all twelve tribes, Jews and Christians, in battle against the one who dashes in pieces. The gathering was both literal and spiritual. That seven year war culminated in Israel returning to their land and becoming a nation on Pentecost, May 14,1948. If WW11 was the beginning of the seventy years and that time ended in 2009 then...what is the rest of the story, what comes after that time? Isaiah teaches of the end of the seventy years, which I believe was in 2009....


Tyre is obviously symbolic for Babylon, the great city/great whore (which is world-wide) and the above prophecy is repeated in the following.....



After the seventy years (1939-2009) God visits/visited the "great whore" and her power increases with all people (kings and inhabitants of the earth). He also visits His children…this event is discussed later.


"I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation." Is this the "deadly wound" of [Rev.13:3]? In 2009 (the end of the 3,500 years & the end of the seventy years and with signs in the sun and the moon) the United States and global capitalism experienced the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression...(a time which was ended by WW11...and yet began the seventy years of desolations!) A cycle. The Great Depression ended by WW11 which began the 70 years of desolations which ended in 2009 which began the next global depression....in other words, "perpetual desolations."

The "voice" of Jesus and His saints, the Bridegroom and bride, are taken from them. How?


The Bridegroom and bride speak "the words of the Lord." Their voice is taken away even though they are still here speaking. Others are unable to hear truth because they hear the words of the false prophets that use His name, saying they are Christian but they speak their words, their doctrines, their theologies. They teach in seminaries, preach from pulpits, beg on television (send in a love offering of your social security check), warp the minds of our children in school as we pay for their education. His Words are there...written for all but they aren't heard for the famine of hearing His words is here...the roaring of the waves of the sea is heard in their place.


When is that event? When does He visit both the whore and us after 2009? Great clues are given us in our example of Noah’s flood.


As happened then…it will again happen. The “fountains of the great deep” are Satan’s deceptions while “windows of heaven” give the rain of manna from God to His elect.

Notice where we are when He calls. He calls us out of Babylon. At the end of the seventy year period, (1939-2009) God visits not only us, if we are the man child, but the great whore, Tyre/Babylon! [Isaiah 23:15-17 above] The battle of end times, the war begins. However, there is yet another marker of time to add to the last days of the seventy years....








If 2009 ended the seventy years of desolation another figure must be considered within that time...forty years of probation. As experienced by our example the Israelites...it shall be experienced by us. As 2009 marks the end of the seventy years then the forty years from that time would have begun in 1969. That was quite a year:






July 20 - Forty year anniversary of the Apollo Moon landing. (Blood [man] was on the moon)....


May 15 – An American teenager known as 'Robert R.' dies in St. Louis, Missouri, of a baffling medical condition. In 1984 it will be identified as the first confirmed case of HIV/AIDS in North America.

August 9 – Members of a cult led by Charles Manson murder Sharon Tate, (who was 8 months pregnant), and her friends:

August 15/18 – The Woodstock Festival is held in upstate New York, featuring some of the top rock musicians of the era. (one of the greatest displays of the decadence of sex, drugs and rock & roll)

August 17 – Category 5 Hurricane Camille, the most powerful tropical cyclonic system at landfall in history, hits the Mississippi coast, killing 248 people and causing US $1.5 billion in damage (1969 dollars). (Hurricane Katrina (8/29/2005) was a cat. 5 but when she hit land she dropped to a cat. 3...the damage was from the tidal surge, water...not wind).

October 29 – The first message is sent over ARPANET, the forerunner of the internet. (With the internet...knowledge has greatly increased and here a large part of the spiritual war is being waged)


If events such as the internet, aids epidemic, Manson murders and a man on the moon, the moral decay of America shown at Woodstock which seemed to open the door for illegal drug use, pornography, child abuse, the disaster of Camille, began the time...the forty years of probation...then what events marked not only it's end but the end of the 3,500 years and the end of the seventy years of desolation....all in 2009?


Continued.....

January 20 – Barack HUSSEIN Obama is inaugurated as the 44th, and first African American, President of the United States.

January 21 – Israel completes its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Intermittent air strikes by both sides of the preceding war continue in the weeks to follow.

2009 - The worst financial crisis of the United States and global capitalism since the Great Depression. (Is this the "deadly wound?")



There were others but those three stood out to me. Perhaps more than an unknown man named Hussein becoming president such a short time after the towers were brought down is seeing the great warrior Israel take the Gaza Strip and then...withdraw.

If April 8, 2009...Passover, marked the end of the 3,500 years, the seventy years of desolations and the forty years in the wilderness...what marked the beginning of the last days? Was there a signal given?









This year's Feast of Trumpets, the Hebrew New Year, begins on sundown of September 28, 2011. However, September 18, 2009 was also the Feast of Trumpets and…a new moon. Interestingly,the time of 1:44 PM, New York time was given. As previously stated…those numbers, (1 & 4) are signs of His elect. Only the priests are to “blow up the trumpet” at the time appointed. Are the elect today’s priests? Is 1:44 a clue, a sign?

WCF Courier…..
Jewish people celebrate Rosh Hashanah as their new year --- a deeply sacred occasion. According to "Celebrating the Jewish New Year" by Paul Steinberg and Janet Greenstein Potter, Rosh Hashanah observes the "seven days of creation." Each year, Rosh Hashanah reminds Jews of the annual renewal of creation.

During this time, the Talmud is believed to indicate that God considers the fate of humanity. As a result, the sacred text designates Rosh Hashanah as the annual day of judgment and remembrance.

Click to expand...

Did the Lord’s 3-1/2 days/3,500 years end and our 3-1/2 years begin on 9/28/09 on the Feast of Trumpets? This feast is a “solemn feast day” but is not one of the three feasts God commanded us to observe (they will be discussed later).


The “offering made by fire,” I believe, is…a soul brought to the Lord through the teaching of His Word.



If the dates are correct then The Feast of Passover/Unleavened Bread/Pesach, on April 8, 2009 ended the 3,500 years and The Feast of Trumpets/New Year/Rosh Hashanah, September 18, 2009, blew the warning for the last days! There are 163 days between the two events. Why? What happened during that time? Were those five months sort of an example of the five months/150 days of the great tribulation that is soon to come about? What was Obama doing during that time? Were things being "set up," by George Soros...was Satan's beast and its worldly kings putting their evil takeover into practice? Remember, the "locust army" belongs to Satan and locust work "under ground" destroying, devouring, long before they swarm visibly in the air. "The mystery of iniquity doth already work." [11 Thess.2:7]








The time of the end has been "cut short," but to which of the times does that apply? Which of the time markers was shortened? We know, for "it is determined"...we shall have seventy weeks, [1 year, 4 and 1/2 months = 490 days] to accomplish certain goals. He answers for us....



It is Satan's time, his great tribulation that is shortened but...shortened to what and when does his time begin?



We must remember that if we have been spiritually “translated into His kingdom” then…they haven’t any power over us! [Col.1:13] Rather, we are given power over them….


The days of Satan's great tribulation are shortened to...five months (150 days). That is the same period of time connected to the flood of Noah, which was our example of the flood of deception in the end times...





From the following….


…it can be determined that the beginning of the five months of great tribulation, which is 150 days, begins on the Hebrew time of Lyar 17, (17th of the 2nd month). Should that be this year, as I believe it will, then it is May 21, 2011. I wrote a detailed account of this in the thread, "Noah's Flood."

On the night of May 21, 2011 (times begin at sundown) in whatever part of the world He determines it shall begin….there will be a full moon. Is that the time we will see replayed, when "the great deep broke up and the windows of heaven opened?" God's rain shall pour from the "opened windows of heaven," giving the saints/stars the latter rain, while the sea and waves roar, flooding the earth with great deception...his five months of great tribulation, the 150 days begins.



As we are God’s “stars,” Satan too has stars, shameful stars, flooding the earth with deception! He has given us the length of time of Satan’s tribulation, which has been cut short to five months/150 days but...when does the seventy weeks, which include and conclude with Satan's five months, begin?

The seventy years of desolation, that I believe began in 1939 with WW11, "shall be accomplished." Daniel prophecies of the end of the seventy years as well as the next marker of seventy weeks:








Continued....

The city of Jerusalem is symbolic of God's children...His holy city, the church. We will/have been desolated, under the influence of the desolator...the king of Babylon, for seventy YEARS. But, at the beginning of the last seventy WEEKS His saints are visited! Why? To "restore and build Jerusalem," and again...that doesn't mean the literal city but refers to God's children for they are the holy city Jerusalem, they are the "most holy" that must be anointed with His truth.



1. From 9/1/1939 the 70 years of desolation began with WW11. Sometime after 2009, after the end of 70 years, the commandment to restore (shall begin/has begun) the last 70 weeks.

2. Within those 70 weeks, at week 62, the Messiah is "cut off."

3. At the 69th week (one week before the end) "it shall be accomplished"...the street and wall are rebuilt, spiritually, (those of God's holy city Jerusalem have been anointed).

4. Satan confirms the covenant with many in the last week and causes the oblation and sacrifice to cease in the middle of the week.



His visit to us, perhaps at the beginning of the seventy weeks or at the beginning of the 150 days is written of in the very last words of the Old Testament!



Hearts are turned to our Father as others turn to their father....



How does He send Elijah to turn hearts? Elijah is the spirit of prophecy, one of the "two prophets," of [Rev.11:10], the other being Moses...the law. The testimony of Jesus is given to us by the Holy Spirit...that deeper understanding is given at a point in the seventy weeks which is....the time of the latter rain.



That is a vital time marker! "The appointed weeks of the harvest," which are "reserveth unto US!" Are they the entire seventy weeks or specific weeks within that time frame? The entire time is to...”finish the transgression, make and end of sins, reconciliation for iniquity, bring in everlasting righteousness, seal the vision and prophecy and...to anoint the most Holy.” Could the "appointed weeks," be the Feast of Weeks which we know as Pentecost?



"Month" was added and not in the text. I believe what is being said is that the latter rain is given us, if we are "ye children of Zion," in the first of the 150 days, the first of the five months of great tribulation. If we are among them we then teach to “bring in the harvest,” for it is “reserveth unto us,” to accomplish.

The Feast days are important and their discussion will follow, but first....

God tells us that part of the last days involve seventy years, which I see as having ended in 2009 and then we will be given a time of seventy weeks but...when does the last seventy weeks of this age begin?

Before continuing with the "seventy weeks" I need to insert yet another of the many clues given of the last days for this time has begun and nears its ending! Does its ending coincide with the end of the seventy weeks, which is the end of days?







Please note the verse numbers...they are very telling! To the church of Smyrna, one of the two churches of which He approved, He said.....




Those of the spiritual church Smyrna (not "some," for that was added but those of the church) shall have tribulation ten days! Are the "ten days" literally ten days or...are they ten years? The BLB Lexicon states that in that verse, "days" could be...."used of time in general, i.e. the days of his life." Is the end of those ten "days" of tribulation the end of days? Are they the last ten years of this flesh life? If yes, then did they begin on.....9/11/01 and end on or near 9/11/11?



If the day the towers were taken down, as directed by the angel of the bottomless pit...was the beginning of the "ten days/years of tribulation," then the following could well be describing 9/11 as well as the ten days/years following....



The prophet Habukkuk may also have prophesied of this time, this last ten years.



Habakkuk 1:1-4 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. O LORD, how long shall I cry, and Thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt not save! Why dost Thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.



1:5-6 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not their's.



1:7-9 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.





1:12-14 Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, Thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, Thou hast established them for correction. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest Thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?

2:1-3 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, "Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."




Continued.....

The vision was for an appointed time. Was that time 9/11/01? Is it speaking to us now? What tower(s) are we, as His witnesses, set upon to watch? When the towers fell did you not feel that something had changed...forever? He warned, "regard and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you." He told us...do we believe? Do we warn so others will understand and "run that readeth it," giving them time to leave Babylon behind?









There we see Jesus telling us of the [70 x 7], 490 days...the last seventy weeks. Part of that period, from Passover to Pentecost is seven weeks (49 days). Are they the seven weeks of the last seventy weeks of this age?

In the above passage Jesus shows us the seventy weeks and what we should be doing in that/this time. Sounding the trumpet, teaching, turning the other cheek and forgiving those that don't understand when they strike out in anger or rudeness...for it is the time for His saints to…."finish the transgression, make an end of sins, make reconciliation for iniquity, bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up the vision and prophecy and...to anoint the most holy." [Dan.9:24-27] The "holy city" refers to...Judah and Jerusalem, meaning...Jew and Christian. We are His holy city!

When does the seven times seventy weeks.....[490 days, or....1 year, 4 1/2 months] begin? If 2009 ended the 70 years, (that I believe began with WW11 on 9/1/1939), and 2009 also ends the (3 1/2 days/3,500 Lord's years from the Exodus which was the first Passover of 1491 BC)...then at what point did the countdown of the last 70 weeks begin, the weeks that end this age and bring in the millennium?

We are told that the beginning is when....."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:” (69 weeks) [Dan.9:25]...is given. I understand that to be saying that from the time the commandment to restore is given we have [69 weeks] in which to work...for the 69th week is Satan's week, his night and...we can't work at night so the "most holy" must be anointed before that....



The conclusion of the seventy weeks, (490 days), ends Satan's great tribulation and is the second Advent of Christ. His tribulation of great deception has been shortened to five months, (the last 150 of the 490 days).

The sixty nine weeks of [Dan.9:25] leaves one, yet to be accounted for week in the seventy week time period. That week is Satan's night...when we cannot work.

A few references to Satan's time is his forty-two months, his hour of temptation, his 69th week, as well as his great tribulation which is shortened to five months. Are they one and the same?


The "transgressors" come to the full but when this age ends...they are "rooted out of it," [Prov.2:22] for they are the tares...weeds in the garden of God. They are the host, the army, given Satan to bring him to power. They "set up" the abomination long ago and then, at the very end...the king of fierce countenance stands. Who is he?


The Exodus, when the tribes of Israel left Egypt (symbolic of the world and its carnality) behind, is one of our examples of the last days. First, God gave signs to those in Egypt (as He is doing today from the beginning of this year...2011, with the strange deaths of birds and fish while unprecedented floods are in Australia, if we have eyes to see...harden not your hearts as did Pharaoh!). From Passover to Pentecost is seven weeks...









That historical example describes the future and last Pentecost of this age when the saints are all "in one place," which is spiritually dwelling in heaven (while walking and teaching on earth) when "there came a sound from heaven." The Holy Spirit shall fill them/us with understanding and they speak "as the Spirit" instructs. The "other tongues" isn't babble as some believe but is speaking with knowledge and understanding of the Word, a tongue/language of the Spirit not previously understood for it wasn't to be given until this time. It is the spirit of the word, not the letter, for that....gives life. [11 Corinthians 3:6]

From the Biblical times given, should it be this year….the latter rain begins for the “children of Zion,” on May 21, 2011 (the beginning of the 150 days/5 months of the great tribulation of Satan) for them to bring in the harvest. We then have Pentecost, which this year is…sundown, June 7, 2011. The latter rain is only given to “ye children of Zion,” but, as shown below…on Pentecost He pours out “My Spirit upon all flesh.” Why is the man child given 17 additional days of “rain?” I don’t know.

When Pentecost was "fully come," meaning...fulfilled, when the day was complete. The Syriac and Vulgate read "days." This refers to the completion of the seven weeks (fifty days inclusive) from the waving of the sheaf of first fruits. ~ E.W. Bullinger

It is interesting to see "the third hour of the day" mentioned with Pentecost. Below we see the first Pentecost Day...



The third month, the third day and now...the third hour of the day. [333] Divine Completeness and Perfection. As He told them...He tells us. “Be ready against the third day,” be ready on Pentecost.

The Mystery of the Date of Pentecost ~ by Thomas S. McCall, Th.D.​

For believers in Jesus the Messiah, the dating of Pentecost is one of the most exquisite examples of type and fulfillment in the Scriptures.


Pentecost means fifty, and is actually fifty days from another feast, First Fruits. These calculations are explained in Leviticus 23:10–11, 15–17. The feast of First Fruits was to occur on the day after the Sabbath (verse 11), which was always the Sunday of Passover week. Pentecost, then, was the day after the seventh following Sabbath (verses 15–16), which would be the fiftieth day after First Fruits and also on a Sunday.


The fulfillment of these feasts is striking. Jesus died the Friday of Passover week and had to be buried hastily before sunset, which was when the Sabbath began. His body remained in the borrowed sepulchre throughout the Sabbath day, but on that Sunday morning, when the priest was to offer the First Fruits offering in the Temple, Christ arose from the dead, the first fruits of them that slept (I Cor. 15:20).


For forty ensuing days, the Lord appeared to His disciples in His resurrection body, and then ascended into Heaven. Ten days later, the Sunday of the Feast of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended upon the believers in Jerusalem and created the ekklesia, the called out body of Christ, the church. These fulfillments were obviously no coincidence, but were part of the overall plan and purpose of God in verifying the powerful meaning of the death and resurrection of Christ, and the establishment of the new body of believers.


From then on, the Jewish believers in Christ must have repeatedly informed the people of Israel about the nature of the fulfillment of Passover, First Fruits and Pentecost. It must have made a great impact on the Jewish people who lived between the resurrection of Christ and the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, a span of about forty years.

Historical events are repeated throughout the Bible as examples for us. The Exodus serves as a template of what will again be...and we also find the end time example in the story of Noah.



The last 7 days of that time belong to Satan. The Feast of Tabernacles begins the 69th week...Satan's week.

“In the DAYS OF THE VOICE,” at the beginning of the seventh trumpet...is when the mystery should be finished! When the sounding is over...



Satan's tribulation, as explained below, shall be a period of 5 months...150 days. As Noah is one of our examples we know that those days shall begin on Lyar 17, which is the 2nd month on the Hebrew calendar.




If those 150 days begin this year then it shall be on our May 21, 2011. From that date we add the 150 days and the tribulation ends....which is on the last day of the week of Sukkot / Feast of Tabernacles....October 18, 2011. From that date we can calculate the beginning of the seventy weeks.

From the seven day Feast of Tabernacles, sundown October 11-18, 2011, going back seventy weeks, 490 days, is June 16, 2010. Did the 70 weeks begin then? If yes, and these times I feel are being shown are correct then something special, a sign, should have heralded the beginning of the seventy weeks... I couldn't find anything of significance on that exact date but...I did see an enormous...."sign in the sun" given June, 2010!

NASA's own website has long since issued a "2012 Solar Storm Warning!" Then in June of 2010 NASA upgrades their warning telling the general public to get ready for a once in a lifetime solar storm!

Jesus tells us that for the sake of His elect...the time of the end has been "cut short," but to which of the times does that apply? Which of the time markers was shortened? We know, for it is determined...we shall have seventy weeks, [1 year, 4 and 1/2 months = 490 days]to accomplish certain goals. He answers for us....




It is Satan's time, his great tribulation that is shortened but...shortened to what?


Just as with Noah's flood when, "And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days," [Gen.7:24] the flood of deception from Satan in the last days shall prevail upon the earth the same length of time...150 days/5 months!

At the end of that time.....


It is almost over. Notice the waters are "returning continually," but it is not until after the end, not at the end, of the 150 days when "the waters were abated."




The seventh of the seventh month is Tishri...our October 5, 2011. The first of the tenth month is Tevet, our December 27, 2011. Are the waters decreasing as the wicked are being judged? But, before that.....






Well, in the famous words of Forrest Gump, "that's all I have to say about that." I come away from it knowing we are given seventy weeks at the end of days. And, that day comes quietly, as a thief, in the night....which means it comes during Satan's tribulation. Not when his hour is over but during his hour. The sixth and seventh trumpets overlap.



Continued......

As shown, the feast weeks are vital markers and God instructs us to observe them!





Feast of Passover/Unleavened Bread/Pesach – sundown, week of April 18-25

Feast of Pentecost/Weeks/Harvest/Firstfruits/Shavout – sundown, June 7

Feast of Tabernacles/Ingathering/Boothes/Sukkot – sundown, week of October 12-19

Feast of Trumpets/New Year/Rosh Hashanah - sundown September 28





Is the last week of the seventy weeks, (the 69th Week), the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles? That is the final feast of the Lord, beginning five days after the Day of Atonement.



Gesinius's Lexicon states that "week" in the above...."Should be rendered...the weeks of this woman. The feast of (seven) weeks, Pentecost, so called because of the seven weeks counted from the Passover to this festival."

If that is correct then could Satan's "week" be understood as all seven weeks and in the midst of the seven weeks he causes "the sacrifice and oblation to cease?" I don't know. Is it a literal week or is it the entire seven weeks? Does the sacrifice and oblation cease to Christ and begin to him because that is when he himself shows up...pretending to be Christ, Christ come to save the world, to rapture us away?

Going back to one of our examples…the flood of Noah, the raven/Satan is released in person after “forty days and nights of rain,” which was the beginning of the 150 days/5 months. If those days begin May 21, 2011 (Lyar 17) then…he arrives July 1, 2011.

In conclusion....should 2009 have been the end of the seventy years (from the beginning of WW11 - 9/1/1939) and also the end of the 3,500 years (3 1/2 days in the Lord's time since the 1491BC Exodus)....then we are now in the very last days for the seventy weeks began in June 2010.

There are many “if's,” many “I don’t knows,” many guesses but He does give us some definite facts. We are not to be in the dark and nowhere is it written that we are not to seek the time, not to set the date. Rather it is written….


We won't know the hour for the hour of Satan isn't a literal hour just as the “day of the Lord” isn’t a literal day…in our reckoning of time. And a particular hour beginning in one part of the world isn’t the same hour in another part. Same with the day. Day in one part is night in another. So, “of that day and hour knoweth no man.” The feast days begin and end at different times according to where we live so we won’t know the exact moment but I think we are given to know a great deal.




For those believing I am setting times and shouldn’t be…..



Continued......






1. 1491 BC The First Passover...the Exodus from Egypt and forty years in the wilderness began for the Israelites and [3,500 years/3-1/2 days to the Lord] began for us....ending in 2009. There were 3,390 years between those dates,[3,3,3x3 - 4 times]...#3 Divine perfection 4 times, #4 signifying "The world, creativity, material completeness."

2. 1491 BC Pentecost - 50 days after the Passover....The 10 Commandments were given.

3. 1451 BC the 40 year Exodus ended.

4. September 1, 1939 - WW11 began and with it...the seventy years of desolations...ending on Passover 4/8/09.

5. 1969 Began the forty years in the wilderness for the last generation, the generation of the fig tree...ending 4/8/09.

6. April 8, 2009, Passover, we were given a "sign in the sun," with the Jewish "Blessing the Sun" and as are all Passovers...it was a full moon. That Feast date….


7. September 11, 2001 the ten days/ten years of tribulation began and ends in 2011.

8. September 18, 2009 The Feast of Trumpets/New Year/Rosh Hashanah, sounded the command to begin building Jerusalem and anoint the most holy in the last days (42 months, 3-1/2 years, 1,260 days) and that time is shortened! There were 163 days between the two Feast days.

9. June 2010 and the Seventy Weeks which are "determined on His people to restore," (the seventy times seven, 490 days) began. That month Nasa announced a huge sign in the sun...a "once in a lifetime solar storm."

10. April 18, 2011 sundown the week of Passover/Unleavened Bread/Pesach begins, ending April 25. That date begins...the seven weeks (70 x 7) to Pentecost.

11. May 14, 2011 is seven days before the five months begins. God gave Noah a warning that He would begin in seven days.

12. May 21, 2011 (Lyar 17) The great tribulation of 150 days, five months, begins. His man child/firstfruits are given the latter rain (windows of heaven are opened) for forty days and Satan's elect are here to deceive until the end (fountains of the great deep broken up.)

13. June 7, 2011, sundown Pentecost/Feast of Weeks/Shavout begins....His Spirit is poured on all flesh.

14. July 1, 2011 the forty days of latter rain for God's man child end, "the raven" is released. His "hour of temptation" begins.

15. September 29, 2011 sundown...Feast of Trumpets/New Year/Rosh Hashanah

16. October 5, 2011, as the ark rested on the mountains "in the seventh month, on the seventh day of the month, [Genesis 8:4-5] and the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen," so shall the "rest" and waters decreasing be from our October 5 to December 27, 2011.

17. October 11, 2011 sundown begins the week of the Feast of Tabernacles/Ingathering/Boothes/Sukot, ending October 18, 2011. This is the last week of the seventy weeks....At it's beginning, "it shall be accomplished" for God's children while Satan "confirms the covenant with many." They will experience the wrath of God. Our tabernacles are...our flesh bodies, the bodies housing our souls. Are we freed on that date? Do we "meet the Lord in the air," meaning...in our spirit bodies?



As in the days of Noah...most won't understand anything unusual is happening, much as today when the "dead birds" are dropping from the sky and yet...ho-hum, there's a logical explanation. They won't know they are being inundated with deception causing them to fall into apostasy. Instead of truth we're taught we'll be flown away before those poor souls left on earth will see demons chopping heads off, meteors crashing to earth, starvation. It will be a time of love and peace....be prepared for "it comes quietly."


We are to search, warn...watch. We may not be given to know the exact day or hour but we are to know what He has given us. Are the dates in this all correct? Perhaps…perhaps not but…it is close!

I have not read much of your posts yet, I do know you are not using the correct calendar for your Feast dates. The correct way to figure the date of Passover is from the Spring Equinox, not the moon.

I could be off but...I didn't "figure the dates." I relied on a few Jewish sites. They agreed with each other.

May I ask what you believe the correct dates are for this year? I would appreciate the information.
