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, you can know that His return is very near, right at the door," v.33). "Very near" is within a lifetime of 70 to 80 years (Ps. 90.10) from 1948 to 2018-28. Split the difference, no later than 2023. Can we get more accurate than this?
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. Though it is true the disciples in their day could not know that would not always be the case. Satan says you can't know "right at the door" even though you can know right at the door when your friend says she will come over to your place if she is trustworthy. That Old Serpent might try to misuse Matt. 24.36, but it is referring to the end of the earth (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. And nobody knows when that end is.
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 to know when He would return. He will return in Person with "10,000 of His saints" (Jude 14,15) whom shall reign for 1000 years with a "rod of iron" (Rev. 2.27, 12.5, 19.15) "over the nations" (2.26); only then does the end of the world come and "no more sea" (21.1).
We can know the day just not the hour (v.42 KJV, DBY) when He returns, but we can't know the day or hour when the world ends since this time is far off and not associated with signs such as the return of Israel (v.32), the signs in the heavens before the Tribulation starts (Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20, Rev. 6.12) and the specific 2,520 day period (7 years x 360 days per year) of Daniel's final unit of seven years we are to watch out for. Perhaps Jesus will give us some signs we do not yet know of during the millennium about when Satan is let loose out of the pit for a short while near the end of the 1000 years (20.7). In letting him out, it will be shown Satan will never repent, that man had yet some hidden sin and God's good pleasure.
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 [inferred] unique 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 in history. 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! Incidentally, there is no associated unique solar eclipse around 2582/83.
(First time ever this Hybrid and Tetrad come together within a year apart; first time ever two earthquakes of this proportion come together a year apart of each other, and first time ever all three events in Rev. 6.12 come together.)
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.
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). 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 data point is less than 1 in 100,000 (try to figure it out yourself).
As we all know, the first four feasts refer to Jesus' first coming. The last three feasts pertain to His second coming. The first of the last 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). 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 those who are saved 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 or 120 Jubilees from 3986 BC to 2015 AD where the lamb and the lion lay down together in peace, and Jesus reigns with a "rod of iron" (19.15).
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 composed of 7 year sevens. Nobody told me these dates for the Tribulation. I discovered them myself as the Holy Spirit guided me. I needed and prayed for a holiday of significance on the 2,520th day from Feast of Trumpets. Imagine my surprise! 7 out of every 19 years an extra month is added on the Jewish calendar so there are 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets (the First Rapture) to Tisha B'Av (the day the 1st and 2nd Temples were destroyed).
2014-2021 and 2016-2023 don't add up to 2,520 days, but 2015-2022 does for these particular holidays.
The Third Temple is especially important to Jesus because it will be His residence for 1000 years. It greatly hurts His heart to see the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples because of such needless suffering and necessitated a delay in both His first and second coming to be with us in Person.
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 ushers in the 7 year Tribulation that lasts 2,520 days. Approximately 1/7th of believers alive at the time of the first rapture will be raptured alive, because only one of the 7 churches in Rev. 2 & 3 was an overcomer church. Only a couple million saints will be raptured alive, i.e. "taken" (Matt. 24.40-42). Believers not taken will be "left" (1 Thess. 4.15,17) to be raptured at the last trump (1 Cor. 15.52).
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. The 7th trumpet contains the 7 bowls of wrath and lasts 24 months (see calc. below). 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 when 200 million military units (9.16) congregate in the middle east over oil. The ensuing nuclear exchange causes fire, smoke and brimstone that kills 1/3 of the earth's people (v.18).
The Tribulation is composed of 84 thirty-day months (2,520 days). The first four trumpets last 42 months (ch. 8) since the Great Tribulation which is the second half of the Tribulation has three trumpets or the 3 woes (8.13) which last 42 months. The Great Trib. begins at 9.1 ("I saw a star [Satan] falls from heaven unto the earth") and continues for 42 months (11.2, 13.5).
The 5th trumpet is 5 months (vv.5,10), and the 6th trumpet lasts 13 months (v.15). That leaves 24 months for the 3rd woe-the 7th trumpet. 5 + 13 + 24 = 42 months. Counting down the days from Feast of Trumpets, the middle of the Tribulation begins Feb. 25, 2019 (v.1). The beginning of the 6th trumpet is July 25, 2019 lasting 13 months. And the beginning of the 7th trumpet is Aug. 18, 2020. "An hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men" (v.15) is 13 months. "And a day" would take us to Aug. 19. And "an hour" might fall into Aug. 20th. A "third part of men" carries over into the 7th trumpet arena of the 7 bowls of wrath.
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: Jesus returning on Sunday is 1 in 7. Tisha B'Av held over from Saturday is 1 in 7. Feast of Trumpets to Tisha B'Av works out to be exactly 2,520 days every 7 out of 19 years. Including the probabilities for the Great Earthquake (1 in 2010), the Long H3 Solar Eclipse (1 in 700), the Tetrads (1 in 100,000), and these three events (earthquake, solar eclipse, lunar tetrad) in specific order (1 in 6), we come to a probability of 112 trillion to 1. If you think that is just coincidence, think again!
