You are really confused about things, misread and misunderstand. It's amazing how you misinterpret so much so easily! The flesh is strong in you.
If you want to parse a different meaning of what the work "is" is, then be my guest. The President of the United States of America though he could, and so why not you?
I didn't realize we were having a discussion about the word "is". When did that start? :lol:
But let me summarize your position: -- You propose that celestial events (four consecutive lunar and solar eclipses -- a "tetrad") which fall on Jewish holy days.
The order of events is not lunar then solar but solar then lunar. Read Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20, Rev. 6.12. Wake up! A Tetrad is not four solar eclipses. Nor is a Tetrad any four consecutive lunar eclipses, but four total eclipses in a row, that is four red blood moons in a row over two years, and we are focused on not just regular Tetrads nor a Tetrad that falls on any old holiday, but Tetrads that fall on
passover, tabernacles, and again on passover and tabernacles. The 8th one since Christ will be 2014/15. Why are we doing this? Because Jesus said to observe the signs in the sun and the moon in that order before He returns, before His parousia begins, before the Tribulation starts so that is exactly what we are doing with Revelation 6.12 before the Tribulation starts with the first rapture "before the throne" (7.9) according to readiness (3.10) before the 1st trumpet (8.7) that begins the Tribulation. Remember this is the first time in all of human history two Tetrads were within 18 years apart and not only that but they fell exactly on when Israel became a nation again and when Israel entered Jerusalem. And it
won't happen again for nearly 600 years (2582/83). So the next Tetrad occurs when the Temple construction occurs and the Tribulation so that it will be completed with 2300 days left to the end of the Tribulation when it is finally cleansed (Dan. 8.14). Praise the Lord!
You assert that this coincidence leads you to some conclusion. And in these calculations you use factors which have absolutely no association with your presumptions, and pick some and discard others because they do or don't suit your needs. Then when you arrive at a specific ~date~, you then twist Scripture to defend the veracity of picking a ~date~. And when asked to confirm that ~date~ by Scripture, you have no confirmation.
112 trillion to 1 is a coincidence?
100,000 x 2010 x 700 x 7 x 7 x 6 x 19/7 = 112,000,000,000,000 to 1. Wow! To my knowledge I have no presumptions so I have nothing to associate to non-existent assumptions. I am not aware of anything I am picking or discarding, just letting the evidence take me where it may. Have you read the opening post carefully to see that? Jesus said to observe the signs in the heaven and that these events in the sun and moon must occur before the terrible day of the Lord (Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20, Rev. 6.12). Why do you reject this plain word of God? I have no confirmation of a date with Scripture? Of course I do. I gave it. The Tribulation is 2,520 days long so since the last 3 feasts pertain to Jesus' return the Tribulation begins on Feast of Trumpets, the first of those last 3 feasts. This agrees with Rev. 7.9 "before the throne" before the Tribulation begins as Feast of Trumpets represents rapture to the Jews. And the only period that fits like a glove is Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022 exactly 2,520 days. Praise the Lord! I would suggest your false beliefs are getting in the way of plain reading of the Scriptures.
Furthermore, you state you are 100% confident in these calculations, which Hal Lindsey calls pure speculation*.

It is not just pure speculation but totally wrong to think Jesus returns in 2015, for think about it. The Tribulation is 7 years long. If Jesus were to return in 2015 that means Rev. 7.9 would have occurred in 2008, but where was it broadcasted throughout all the news a couple million people vanished? And the Temple needs to be completed before Jesus steps down. Where was the peace treaty of 7 years in 2008? The Vatican would have been nuked by now in the 1st half of the Tribulation (Rev. 8; 17.16). The peace treaty would have been broken by the Antichrist by now. And the 5th trumpet or 1st woe would have begun. So for Jesus to return 2015 makes no sense at all. Insofar as
Hal Lindsey says that he is right, but he himself is very wrong about some things, because he is a pretribber onlyists and he misunderstands the word "regeneration" (Matt. 24.34). He keeps saying Jesus returns in a generation but it never happened since 1948. His speculation is long overdue now since today is 2011 and 63 years is more than a generation. Secondly, he is wrong because he claims the whole Church is raptured at the start of the 7 years, but there again he is wrong because nowhere does it say that in Scripture. It says the first rapture is for believers who keep the word of His patience (Rev. 3.10), are watchful (Matt. 24.40-42) and prayerful (Luke 21.36). Hal Lindsey has been in a dark place for a long time now. He doesn't even accept clearly what Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20 and Rev. 6.12 say so he can't be helped.
Both Mark Biltz and Hal Linsey are wrong. Mark is wrong because obviously the Tribulation is not from 2008 to 2015. Hal is wrong because clearly the Scriptures say the Tribulation starts soon after the 6th Seal. The tribulation is the 7th Seal that opens the 7 Trumpets of the Tribulation.
But as to not leave this audience with any ambiguity, please consider the mathematical gymnastics this individual is willing to perform: June 27, 2008 God's Appointed Times-Feast of Trumpets-Mark Blitz and Frank DiMora on Ezekiel- June 27, 2008
In other words, God would take the 360 years and multiply that by 7 times if they failed to heed His words. We know from the Word of God Israel did fail to heed his words. Therefore, take 360 years and multiply that by 7 times and you arrive at 2,500 years. Now think about the first siege in Jerusalem in 606 BC. Now go back 2,500 years from 606 BC and you end up in the middle of the 1900's. Remember Israel had a 360-day calendar year. So, we have to convert their year into our solar year calendar that is based on the 365.2 year. Once you do that, it converts to 907,326 days. Now if you were to multiply Israel’s punishment as stated in Leviticus chapter 26 you would come to 2,484 years, 2 months, and 3 days.

These comments are wrong because 2500 is just a slapstick number thrown in. And 360 years? The 360 is not years but days. A Biblical year according to the Jews was 360 days. Ezekiel prophesied on his side how long Israel would suffer. His prophecy takes us to exactly May 1948 (WOW!). It's amazing. Whereas Daniel prophesied when the Messiah would be cut off. Two different prophecies. Daniel said there would be seven sets of seven years (17,640 days) from the declaration to rebuild the temple Nisan 1, 444 BC (Neh. 2.1) in troublous times, then there would be 62 more sevens (total of 173,880 days) after which the Messiah would be cut off (Dan. 9.24-27). That day lands on
March 28, 33 AD, Nian 10, Monday, Gregorian, the 1st day of the 4 day inspection of the Lamb. That is a fact! The 4 days are March 28, 29, 30, 31. Jesus was captured on Thursday March 31. Then Jesus died on the cross April 1, 33 AD, Passover, Nisan 14, April Fool's Day to Satan. He resurrected April 3, 33 AD Sunday. He ascended on a Thursday and Pentecost was on Sunday. Pretty simple.
How precise God's word is! Pray for the faithless who don't believe these words.
