In this last and final post we sum up arguments for Divinity and our time- line. On February 11 we looked at Israel as the fig tree. Matthew 24:32 predicts Israel's reemergence as a viable nation: 32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
We saw that summer is the time of harvest and begins on September 7, 1994 (see Jeremiah 8:20; also February 2 and February 11).
Nowhere else do we read of a conquered and dispersed peoples again becoming a na- tion in their own homeland almost 2000 years later. But Israel did in 1948 despite the Arab world trying to eliminate them. Luke 13:6-9, and Mark 13 also predicts this reunification. Matthew 21:19 prophesizes the Jews would forever reject Christ. To this day Israel still refuses to admit Jesus as one of theirs, despite the impact He as a Jew had on the world. Since Israel again became a nation in 1948, no one can claim the prophecy of the fig tree was written after the fact.
On June 16, 2008 we looked at Daniel 8 and his vision: 1In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar around B.C. 550. We read that Media and Persia would conquer Babylon eleven years later and in two hundred years Alexander the Great would take Media and Persia: 5…an he goat (Alexander the Great)
came from the west…and 7…smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him…
21…the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn… be- tween his eyes is the first king. God also prophesizes Alexander the Great in Daniel 10: 20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come. Indeed in B.C. 330 Alex- ander took over Persia as prophesied two hundred years before. Of course those who don't want to believe will argue that Daniel was written after the fact.
On January 28 we looked at the 1290 days of Daniel 12:11, which took us from B.C. 1877—when Jacob had to leave Canaan and go into Egypt—to B.C. 587—when the Jews had to leave Judah and go into Babylon. Of course Daniel in Babylon
wrote the 1290 days after the fact, but he couldn't have known when Jacob left the land of Canaan; so never on his own could he have subtracted 587 from 1877 to come up with the 1290.
On January 31 we saw that double the 1290 days of Daniel 12:11 brought us from B.C. 587 to A.D. 1994, but we didn't know the day or month. On February 2 the 2300 days (6.3 years) of Daniel 8:13-14 brought us back to 1988. We guessed correctly that the church age must end on May 21, 1988, the day before Pentecost. So we added the 2300 days of Daniel 8:14 to May 21, 1988 and landed on September 6, 1994, which turned out to be 1 Tishri 5755. From Leviticus 23:24 we know 1 Tishri is a Jubilee day, a proclamation of the Gospel and freedom from bondage to sin. We'd already determined from verses like Revelation 8:1 that from May 21, 1988 to September 6, 1994 virtually no one became saved, but on 1 Tishri 5755, outside of the churches, God began saving the great multi- tude of Revelation 7:9, 14. We'd determined September 6, 1994 from the 2300 days of Daniel 8:14—written before anyone knew anything about the church age or the period afterwards. That the 2300 days lands on 1 Tishri 5755 defies human meddling. No one back in the time of Daniel could have known anything about A.D. 1994.
On January 12 we determined the date of the first Pentecost as May 21, 33 and that Christ's baptism fell somewhere in the fall of A.D. 29. On January 26 we picked 1 Tishri 3790 (September 25, 29) as the most likely date because of its spiritual significance. We then saw that from Septem- ber 25, 29 to May 21, 33 is exactly 1335 days. We consulted Daniel 12:12 that prophesizes 1335 days for Christ's ministry, almost 600 years before A.D. 33. No one knew about this ministry at the writing of Daniel, much less how long it would last.
On May 21, 2011 we have the rapture, when God shuts the door on the unsaved. When we go to our calendar converter and plug in May 21, 2011, we get 21 May 2011 corresponds to 17 Iyar (the 2nd Hebrew month), 5771. In Genesis 7: 11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened….
16And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
God shuts the door on the unsaved in B.C. 4990 and A.D. 2011 on the 2nd month and the 17th day of the Noachian and Hebrew calendars re- spectively. Those that don't want to accept Scripture can write that off as coincidence; but the probability is more than 1 to 360.
Genesis 7:24 has the great flood lasting 150 days, or five months on the Noachian calendar. The flood represented judgment, as does the five month period of Revelation 9:5, 10, after the Rapture on May 21, 2011. Thus we add five months to May 21, 2011 and land on October 21. We now go to our calendar converter and plug in October 21, 2011. We get 21 October 2011 corresponds to 23 Tishrei, 5772. As we'd determined on February 9, Tishri 23 is the last day of the feast of tabernacles in ancient Israel and the dedication of Solomon's temple, which points to the harvest of the true believers on May 21, 2011 (according to Revelation 11:11-12). Thus we'd expect 23 Tishri 5772 as the end of the world. But it was only after we derived October 21, 2011 independently from anything concerning the feast of tabernacles, did we discover that the date falls on 23 Tishri of the Hebrew calendar. But no one knew anything about the last five months of the earth's existence until after A.D. 2000; and John wrote the book of Revelation circa A.D. 95. He couldn't have known anything about May 21, 2011 as the date to add to the five months; yet such addition lands us on the last day of the feast of tabernacles.
Since October 1, 2008 we found we could calculate Biblical dates of sig- nificant events and that the years between them factor into numbers that defy human authorship. We concluded on March 2 that the numbers de- rived and tabulated on February 28 must have been rigged in order to fac- tor as they did on February 23 and February 25. A few of them could have been written off as coincidence—but not all 58 of them. Human authors could not have rigged the numbers because they didn't even know what they were (see March 5).
In Acts 1 the Bible confirms that we wouldn't know the end dating until after the church age: 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the king- dom to Israel? Christ ignores the import of the question and prophesizes:
7…It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Also in Daniel 12 God prophesizes that no one would know the end times until the end. 8And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? 9And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Isaiah 29 defines a book that is sealed as indecipherable: 11And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:12And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
If no one can come up with another explanation for these numbers on February 23 and 25 then Divinity stands alone and unchallenged. God contrived the dating as He did so that we could know it's authentic and our calculations are correct. I think we'd better start begging God for mercy before May 21, 2011 because by then it's too late. Revelation 14:7 is most appropriate for our time 7…Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. That hour of…judgment is now here and ticking away.
Anyone wanting a second analysis of this timeline can contact the Family Radio Ministry in Oakland and request a free copy of the booklet, We Are Almost There, and the book Time Has an End, both books written by Harold Camping. The former booklet is the latest and the most accurate. Anyone wanting more information on the end of the church age can re- quest the book, The End of the Church Age and After and the booklet, Wheat and Tares, both books by the same author.
I'll continue to publish supplements to my previous work and date them the same as the post they refer to plus one day; for example the supple- ment to this post, dated March 4, is March 5). For links to these posts consult the
Pages and click, Supplements.
For now the evidence for Divinity is in; let the jury decide. As for me I'm convinced that the Bible is the Word of God.
Hi
I am from South Africa and listen to this same End Time everlasting Gospel Message via the AM and Short Wave radio broadcasts of Family Radio.
I enjoyed the way you went about to bring the same Good News.
May the LORD richly bless your efforts till He come in His Glory on 21 May 2011.
(Amo 4:12) Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
(Amo 4:13) For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
