The challenge presented here is are you able to overturn this evidence for when Jesus said He would return?
Jesus said when Israel becomes a nation ("when his branch is yet tender," Matt. 24.32b) and enters Jerusalem ("and putteth forth leaves," v.32c), you can know the season ("ye know that summer is nigh," v.32d) when He returns even the very day ("when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, right at the door," v.33).
Don't let anyone lead you astray and tell you otherwise who will misuse certain verses to misguide you by saying you can't know. Satan says you can't now "right at the door." For example, Matt. 24.36 is referring to the end of the world (v.35) not to when Jesus returns. Verse 35 and 36 are parenthetical to what Jesus is talking about and should be treated as one sentence. Jesus is saying His word does not change. Not even the end of the world will change it.
Certainly, Jesus at the right hand of the Father knows now when the end of the world will take place. And He knew when He would return; that's how we know as He gave us instruction about how and when He would return. He will return in Person with 10,000 of His saints (Jude 14,15) who will reign 1000 years with a "rod of iron" (Rev. 2.27, 12.5, 19.15) "over the nations" (2.26) after which comes the end of the world. We we can know the day just not the hour (v.42 KJV, DBY) when He returns. However, we can know neither the day nor the hour when the world ends since this time is far off and not associated with signs such as the return of Israel (v.32), signs in the heavens (Joel 2.31, Rev. 6.12) or the specific 2,520 day period (7 years x 360 days per year) of Daniel's final unit of seven years we are to look out for. Perhaps Jesus will give us some signs we do not yet know during the millennium about when Satan is let loose out of the pit for a short while near the end of the 1000 years to show man had yet some hidden sin, Satan will never repentand finally send him to Hell.
The two Lunar Tetrads that fell on passover, tabernacles and again on passover and tabernacles in 1949/50 (6th since Christ) when Israel became a nation and 1967/68 (7th since Christ) when Israel entered Jerusalem was the first time since Christ two feast Tetrads occurred so close together as this within 18 years apart, so this is the reference point to what Jesus was talking about when He told His disciples to watch out for unique [inferred] cosmic signs (Luke 21.25) to indicate when He returns.
Before the great and terrible day of the Lord (Joel 2.31) would occur three events in specific order (Rev. 6.12):
1) A great earthquake. Haiti 2010 had the second most deaths and the most deaths per capita of all earthquakes on record. Japan 2011 was the greatest in terms of financial loss and the 5th greatest in the world in magnitude.
2) A unique solar eclipse. The rarest type-the Hybrid H3 longdated Nov. 3, 2013-is the 4th since Christ. Very rare indeed!
3) A unique lunar eclipse. The Total Lunar Tetrad 2014/15 will be the 8th since Christ and won't happen again till 2582/83. So this is it my friends!
Unless you believe in Partial Rapture, you won't be able to perceive Rev. 6.12 correctly occurring right before the Tribulation starts. Suggestion: learn about partial rapture (http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/Partial_rapture.htm).
The commencement of the building of the Temple and start of the Tribulation would begin in or right next to the 2014/15 Tetrad because Israel became a nation again during the 6th Tetrad (1949/50) on May 14, 1948 (Ezekiel's prophecy takes us literally and amazingly to May, 1948 (http://biblocality.com/forums/content.php?169)). The armistice treaties were signed in 1949. And Israel marched in and reclaimed Jerusalem on June 7, 1967 during the 7th Tetrad (1967/68). The probability of this one data point is less than 1 in 100,000.
As we all know, the first four feasts refer to Jesus' first coming (http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/weeks.htm). The last three feasts pertain to His second coming. The first of the three feasts is the Feast of Trumpets which has to do with rapture that comes before the Tribulation starts. It is according to readiness (Matt. 24.40-42), and the last trumpet rapture and resurrection (1 Thess. 4.14-18) is at the start of the 7th trumpet (Rev. 11.15, 15.2-4) and is according to completion. The second feast, the Day of Atonement refers to all those who are saved and to be resurrected before the 1000 years. And the third feast, Tabernacles, points to the millennial kingdom that follows after the Tribulation is over. It is a Sabbath rest after 6000 years where the lamb and the lion lay down together in peace and Jesus reigns with a "rod of iron".
There must be 2,520 days for the final seven year period according to Daniel's prophecy (Dan. 9.24-27) because all the other sets of seven were 7 years. Nobody told me this. I discovered it myself, because I needed and prayed for a holiday of significance on the 2,520th day from Feast of Trumpets. Imagine my surprise! Though less than half the time there are 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets (the First Rapture) to Tisha B'Av that commemorates when the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed. These two feasts from 2014 to 2021 and 2016 to 2023 don't add up to 2,520 days, but do from 2015 to 2022. Obviously, the Third Temple is especially important to Jesus because it will be His residence for 1000 years. It greatly hurt His heart to see the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples because of such needless suffering and of course, necessitated a delay in both His first and second coming to be with us in Person.
Hence, the First Rapture to "the throne" (Rev 7.9) according to readiness (3.10, Luke 21.36) is on the Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 14, 2015 before the first trumpet of the Tribulation is blown (8.7ff) that begins the 7 year Tribulation lasting 2,520 days.
The last trumpet rapture and resurrection (1 Cor. 15.23, 1 Thess. 4.14-18, Rev. 14.14-16) is at the start of the 7th trumpet that contains the 7 bowls of wrath and last 24 months. The first four trumpets are the first half of the 7 year Tribulation. During this time only the earth is hurt. People are not killed in mass yet until the 6th and 7th trumpets (Rev. 9.18). The first four trumpets last 42 months (Rev. 8.13) since the the Great Tribulation's three trumpets (3 woes, 8.13) are also 42 months. The 2,520 days is 84 months, or 42 months plus 42 months. The 5th trumpet is 5 months (9.5,10), and the 6th trumpet lasts 13 months (v.15). That leaves 24 months for the 3rd woe-7th trumpet. 5 + 13 + 24 = 42 months. Counting down the days from Feast of Trumpets, the middle of the Tribulation (Rev. 9.1) begins Feb. 25, 2019. The beginning of the 6th trumpet is July 25, 2019. And the beginning of the 7th trumpet is Aug. 18, 2020. Actually, "An hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men" (Rev. 9.15) is the time of the 6th trumpet. Aug. 18 is 13 months. Aug. 19 is "and a day," and add an hour falls into Aug. 20th. But let's not split hairs.
Jesus steps down on the mount of olives (Zech. 14.4, Acts 1.11, Rev. 1.7, 19.11-16) on Tisha B'Av Sunday, Aug. 7 (Av 10), 2022. When Tisha B'Av falls on a Saturday as on Aug. 6 (Av 9), 2022, it is held the day after on Sunday instead.
In conclusion: the likelihood of Jesus returning on Sunday is 1 in 7, and the likelihood of Tisha B'Av held over from Saturday is also 1 in 7. Less than half of all seven year periods from Feast of Trumpets to Tisha B'Av work out to be exactly 2,520 days. Including the probabilities for the Great Earthquake (1 in 2010), the H3 Solar Eclipse (1 in 700), the congruity of the three Tetrads (1 in 100,000), and all of these three items (earthquake, solar eclipse, lunar tetrad) in the required specific order (1 in 6)-2011, 2013 and 2014/15-,we come to a probability of 83 trillion to 1. If you think that is just coincidence, think again!
