By the emoji I'm guessing you don't believe the meek shall inherit the earth?

Does the prophesy give a timetable?
Until 2028 comes and goes I will stop considering what a assembly of about 1,500 Pastors and Theologians have put forth.

These Pastors/Theologians are from all Protestant backgrounds (Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Wesleyan, Pentecostal) but I heard it from a Pentecostal Pastor from a Movement called Calvary Chapel and it goes like this.

The Prophecy of the Re-established Israel
1. Isaiah chapter 11
2. Jeremiah chapter 29
3. Ezekiel 37

Once Israel is Re-established how long until Christ Returns
1. Matthew 24

How long is a Generation
1. Psalms 90

No one was pinpointing a date but a generation is 70 to 80 years + 7 year Tribulation.

As I already stated, if 2029 comes and we're still here (that's if it doesn't happen before) then I will do more research. But until then, this makes the best sense because we've seen an increase of Jews accepting Yeshua as their Messiah and that is something the Bible declared would happen in the Last Days/End Times.

Fair enough. See you in 2029.

Just curious here, but anyone hear about the Rapture Idea being the removal of the Tares so the Beatitudes like the Meek shall inherit the earth can take place.

I think we're in the Last Days because these new revisions to the Rapture are surfacing in an extreme pace.

Remember how it was hush hush to mention UFOs but now the government and media and the billionaires are pushing this like it's a reality. I personally think Satan knows we're close enough for the Tribulation and when the Rapture happens the excuse will be UFO abduction.

But the world is now talking about Bible Last Days more than the Church is preaching to be ready.

Anyone noticed how the Hollywood women have come out and revealed they're Witches. That stuff used to be hush and now they're promoting it.

I think UFOs have already abducted all the members of cc, and replaced them with...
you guys.

It's ok... my lips are sealed... whatever you are.

Not point at you necessarily, but at this idea:

I couldn't find a translation in English saying that "a generation is 70 to 80 years"... the key word being generation.

A "generation" is the span of time between the birth of a man (or woman) and the birth of their child. It is not a complete lifespan. Using "generation" where the biblical idea is "lifespan" is not interpreting Scripture, but playing games with it.

I am someone who knows more than I should know but blessed by God to be a part of projects that the majority will never know about.

There were 76 generations between Adam and Christ with Christ being the 77th generation.

Average age over 4000years for a generation divided by 77 is about 51

For the last 2000 years divided by another 76 generations is about 26 years.

I am convinced that the 153 fish in John represents generations

76 plus Christ plus another 76 equals 153

76 + 76 = 153?

Calculating by average ages over 4000 isn't quite narrowing it down.

Is there a place in scripture where generations and fish are associated?

70 weeks of Daniel

The angel explained to Daniel two comings ( resurrections ) of the lord. One that happened on the Passover weekend that the Lord was crucified and the second coming which is future. Unfortunate that many including scholars add the 7 weeks and 62 weeks together and say it was 69 weeks. If the numbers were to be 69 weeks the angel would have said so.


Unfortunate that many try to combine the 7 weeks and 62 weeks into one understanding that the Lord appeared at the end of 69 weeks or 483 years.
Keep in mind that a week may be the number 7 or something that refers to 7.


This is not was told to Daniel.

25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,( Jesus) the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.


In the times of Yeshua/Jesus, even tho the Romans were in their land Israel was well endowed and prospered. They had Jerusalem and the Temple. They ate and drank, married and given in marriage, planted and harvested, bought and sold and had unhinged travel in the Roman Empire. It was a good time to be living in Israel when Jesus walked the earth, unlike the current events which Daniel said the 62 weeks would be in a troubled time.
As a Passover was approaching Jesus got into a dicussion with the Pharisees and they said it has taken us 46 years to build this temple.
46 years plus 3 years of ministry equals 49 years or 7 weeks. At the end of those 49 years the anointed one was crucified. And that day was a friday or 6th day of the week.

Going back to creation the Lord said it was good or very good meaning just as it was designed. Another way of saying this, it was a time of no sin. The sixth day when Adam was made was the original Passover and became the revolution of the year. When Adam and Eve sinned they covered themselves with fig leaves which wasnt good enought for the Lord. He required a blood sacrifice which carried up to the New Covenant.

The lord was exactly on time.
Malachi 4:2 2 But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go forth leaping like calves from the stall.

The Lord was speaking of a resurrection and the timing was the 4th day of creation ( 4000 years ). That moment between the 4th and 5th day leaving 2000 years. Lord described a calf which was born and how they are happy to be born. If you missed it, see the word sun and not son.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 62 weeks---in a Troubled time


62 weeks
Next up is Pentecost, the fulfillment of the second coming and timing of our Lord called the Blessed day, the Day of the Lord and the beginning of the 1000 year reign of Christ.

The 62 weeks does not mean 434 years but 62 Passover weeks. As Passover week contains 7 days. Jerusalem was returned to Israel in 1967 during the 6 day war and by adding 62 Passovers we come to our calendar year of 2029. 1967 plus 62 equals year 2029. Remember I told you the revolution of the year is on Passover. I explained in a previous writing how the covenant made with many including Israel happens on the Feast of Trumpets and the 1335th day ends on the Lord's Feast of Pentecost. Covenant will be made on September 23, 2025 and count 1335 days to the resurrection/rapture on the feast of Pentecost May 20, 2029. These are the only years that will count exactly 1335 days. This is a confirmation.

From the building of Jerusalem --1967-from the 6 day war, add 62 which is the revolution of the year is Passover week, again we come to year 2029. Lord was counting Passovers to his coming
Looking at Daniel 9, we can break it down into the pieces for greater understanding:

Daniel 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

We see here the six PURPOSES for the seventy heptads (groups of seven). In other words, that time of Jacob's trouble serves the purposes of all those items.

25 Know therefore and understand, that from 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: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

So, it will take 49 years to rebuild Jerusalem, and then another 434 years to the day when Christ will enter Jerusalem in His triumphal entrance into Jerusalem immediately prior to His being cut off (crucified) for mankind, not for Himself. That is a total of 69 heptads (483 years to the day) from the issuing of the command from the king to Christ's entry into Jerusalem as the King, immediately preceding His being cut off.

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

There are some gaps in this very, very short narrative that covers a host of events not stated here. after 434 years from the time Jerusalem is rebuilt, Messiah shall be cut off.

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Verse 27 gives more clarity to the use of the term "desolations." The man of sin will, in the middle of the 70th heptad (seven years) will make the temple at that time desolate after setting himself up as god.

The idea some have that all 70 of the "weeks" are consecutive, with no breaks in between, well, what can one say other than to point out that they have no solid evidence I have ever seen to back that assumption.

The dispensation of grace, the knowledge of which was sealed up in God since the creation of the world, pushed the fulfillment out from the generation that was standing in the presence of Christ because of Israel's continued rejection of Christ.

Hope that brings some clarity to that timeline revealed by the angel to Daniel.
