December Of 2012 ushers in a galactic event that starts in deep space and occurs only once every 26,000 years and according to some scientist, could move the earth out of her axis by causing a tremendous gravitational pull on the earth slowling the earth down, stopping the earth's rotation or changing the direction of the rotation of the earth. This event is called "Galactic Alignment" and is a time in space when all Nine (9) planets in our solar system alignment one-to-the-other in an "S" formation-with what scientists call The Black Hole located in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. If the the scientists are right, the earth could quickly go through changes we could not begin to imagine.
As the earth slows down, there will be earthquakes all over the world to a magnitude that will change the formation of continents. Tidal waves will cover the coastline of every continent hundreds of miles inland. Volcanoes dormant for thousands of years will suddenly erupt sending smoke and ash into the atmosphere that will cover the earth. All transportation and communication will suddenly stop; temperatures will plunge, there will be no fuel, food or medical aid for the sick and dying, who are still be left alive.
For their own safety, people will again as they did hundreds of years ago, form tribes and fight other tribes for what they need to survive. Because of the economic meltdown and vacant stores and shopping centers, sanctuaries will be easily found. While this is the reality that many believe will occur, others believe that the earth will go through a gentle metamorphosis. And over time be reborn again into the paradise God first created...or God will come down and save them from destruction? Wishful thinking! The truth is the world will not end in 2012. The year 2012 merely marks the beginning of cataclysmic natural disasters that will change the face, environment and lives of those on the earth.
MAYAN LONG COUNT CALENDAR
The Mayan calendar marks December 21, 2012 as the end of the thirteen cycle that makes up what is known as the Mayan Long Count Calendar and the beginning of the end. Although the Mayans believe this will be the beginning of the end, they do not claim that the world will actually end on December 21, 2012, but that 2012 marks the cycle for the changes to begin that will take place over the next several years following 2012.
I CHING
I Ching Like the Mayan Long Count Calendar, predicted events that occurred in cycles. And when laid over a timeline of history, like the Mayan Long Count Calendar, the I Ching ends its cycles of time on December 21, 2012.
2012 THE REALITY AND WHAT WILL REALLY HAPPEN
In the preceding paragraphs, I have just given you brief scenarios of what many believe will actually happen or start to happen on December 21, 2012 and if you believe what they say, you will spend the next few years in fear and without hope just waiting for the end. Although it is true that on December 21, 2012 the earth will start to go through changes with an increased frequency in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and weather changes, it will not be the end of the world. But it will be the beginning of the end. According to prophecy, the end will come in this generation, but when...., And how long is a generation?
According to bible prophecy, the only book that has never been proven wrong, that actually prophesies events before they happen, prophesied several events that must come to pass before the end of the age, or the end of the world as we know it. But what are they, and how will you know what time it is on God's Prophetic Countdown Clock?
THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES - WHAT ARE THEY?
In Matthew 24:4-8, Jesus explained what would happen in the last generation "Our Generation", and how we would recognize it as the last generation and the end of the age: Matthew 24:4-8, "Watch out,' He said '...that no one deceives you. For many will come in My Name claiming, "I am the Christ," and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.' " NIV
In Mark, Jesus left no doubt as to the generation that would be the last generation when He said, Mark 13:28-31 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near." 29 "Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door." 30 "I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened." 31 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away." NIV
ISRAEL BECOMES A NATION MAY 15, 1948
The "Begin To Take Place" spoken of in Luke 21:28 and the "Parable of the Fig Tree" both represents Israel. Israel became a nation on May 15, 1948 and marks the day the last generation begin, and the signs of how much time is left.
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY AND WHAT PART DOES ISRAEL PLAY IN THE LAST DAYS?
When God gave Israel to the Jews, He laid down Two Rules that they must abide by in order for them to keep the land for Him to protect them.
1. You must not worship any other god.
2. You must work the land Seven (7) years and then let the land rest for one year.
To these rules they gladly agreed, but as soon as God allowed them to enter into the promise land, the tribe of Dan began to worship other gods and the rest of the tribes soon followed.
As for letting the land rest, they failed that command also, and when they had accumulated 490 conceptive years which equaled 70 years they had not let the land rest, God stepped in and allowed Babylon to conquer Israel, carry off the Israelites into slavery and let the land rest for the hole 70 years at one time.
At the end of the Jewish 70 year captivity in Babylon, the Angel Gabriel came to Daniel and revealed what the Lord had said how long it would be until the Messiah, who is Jesus would come. Daniel 9:24-27 "Seventy 'sevens' which are 490 years are decreed for your people and your Holy City to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy."
In 445 B.C. Artaxerxes Longimanus issued the final decree allowing the Jews to rebuild the City and the Walls of the City, but even then, out of the hundreds of thousands that were taken captive, only about 42,360 Jews actually went back to Israel.
"Know and understand: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, Messiah, the Ruler comes, there will be Seven 'sevens,' 49 years and Sixty-Two 'sevens' 483 years. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench. But in times of trouble, after the Sixty-Two `Sevens,' 434 years, the Anointed One will be cut off, killed and will have nothing." NIV
It is important to understand that the Jewish calendar was divided into twelve 30-day months, which equals a 360-day year. In addition to counting in 30-day months, the Jews also counted in Weeks of Years. A week represented 7 years.
Gabriel laid out the exact mathematical timeline to the very day from the issuing of the decree by King Cyrus to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Jesus the Messiah would enter the City of Jerusalem to be crucified would be:
173,880 days to the very day.
7 (sevens) and 62 (sevens) = equals 69 sevens.
7 weeks + 62 weeks = 69 weeks X 7 yrs. per wk = 483 yrs. X a 360-day yr. = 173,880 days.
Artaxerxes Longimanus issued the decree to rebuild the city and the Walls of the City in 445 B.C.
445 B.C. The 1st day of Nisan + 173,880 days = the 14th day of Nisan 32 A.D.
Gabriel predicted a total of 70 weeks of years. Sixty-nine of those weeks of years pertained to the day Jesus would enter through the gates of Jerusalem as the Messiah. After Jesus entered the gates of Jerusalem, God stopped his countdown clock. The last week of years or the last seven years will be fulfilled in our generation when the soon-coming Antichrist signs an agreement to enforce or police a peace treaty that will be signed between Israel and the surrounding Arab nations.
JESUS HELD THE JEWS RESPONSIBLE
In Matthew 16:2-4 2 Jesus said "When evening comes, you say, `It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' 3 and in the morning, `Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it, except the sign of Jonah." Saying this, Jesus then left them and went away. NIV
The decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem and the Walls of the City was issued by Artaxerxes Longimanus King of Persia on March 14, 445 B.C., which is the 1st day of Nisan on the Jewish calendar. Gabriel's prophecy that from the going forth of that decree by King Cyrus until Jesus would enter through the gates of Jerusalem riding on a donkey would be 69 weeks (see formula on the previous page) which is 173,880 days.
Jesus fulfilled Gabriel's prophecy to the very day. On the 14th day of Nisan 32 A.D., Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on the colt, the foal of a donkey fulfilling
Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your KING comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gently and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." NIV
MATTHEW DESCRIBES THIS SAME EVENT IN MATTHEW 21:1-9.
Matthew 21:1-9. "As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of
Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, 'Go to the village ahead of you and at once,
you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to Me. If
anyone says anything to you, tell him that The Lord needs them, and He will send them right
away. This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Zechariah. Say to the
Daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the
foal of a donkey.' "
The disciples did as Jesus instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, then placed their cloaks on the colt, and Jesus sat on the colt. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed shouted,
"Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest!" NIV
This was the only day that Jesus allowed Himself to be worshiped as LORD and KING of Kings. On the 17th day, of Nisan 32 A.D., Jesus was crucified. And gave His Spirit up to the Father. There is no year "0."
Jesus' ministry began in the Autumn of 28 A.D. We know this because Tiberius was appointed Caesar in 14 A.D. after Augustus died on August 19 in 14 A.D. In Luke 3:1, Luke defines the time Luke 3:1-6 "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, 'The voice of one crying in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of The Lord, make His paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.' " KJV
To calculate this, you take 14 A.D. when Tiberius was appointed + 14 years = 28 years. When 14 years are behind him, he is in the 15th year of his reign.
The decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem and the Walls of the City was issued by Artaxerxes Longimanus King of Persia on March 14, 445 B.C. to 32 A.D. = 173,762 days + leap year 118 days, (445 A.D. Longimanus' decree,) Palm Sunday is 173,880 days and is the very day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem riding on a donkey as prophesied by Zechariah 9:9.
Because the Angel Gabriel foretold the exact day Jesus would enter Jerusalem as the Messiah, Jesus held the whole Jewish nation responsible for not recognizing Him as the Son of God, and their Messiah, on the day He entered Jerusalem riding on a colt.
In the Gospel of Luke 19:41-44, "Luke tells us that as Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it and said 'If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you.' " NIV
The time of "God's coming to you" in the preceding scripture refers to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, and because the Jews did not recognize Jesus as their Messiah, He caused a blindness to come over their eyes.
Romans 11:25-26 "For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened
to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so, all Israel will be saved,
as it is written." NKJV
In the preceding paragraph, where Jesus says, "You did not recognize the time of God's coming to you," He laid it right on the line. The day Jesus entered into the city, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit came to His people in the God Man Jesus the Christ and they did not know Him. And because they did not recognize Him, He blinded their eyes until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. The fullness of the Gentiles refers to the Rapture of the Church, and even then, not all of the Jews will accept Jesus as their Savior until the middle of the seven-year Tribulation.
In the following passage, Jesus warns the Israelites that because they did not believe or recognize Him as the Messiah at His coming, another would come whom they would believe.
John 5:41-43 "I have come in My Father's Name, and you do not receive Me; if another
comes in his own name, him you will receive." NKJV
The man Jesus is referring to in the preceding paragraph is the Antichrist, whose spirit will be the spirit of Satan. Like the Holy Spirit indwells Jesus Christ, the Antichrist will be indwelled with the spirit of Satan himself. This event will occur in our generation within the next several years, if not sooner. When this man takes over the world as the world leader, the whole world will be deceived, including the Jews, and it will not be until the middle of the seven-year Tribulation that they, the Jews, will see him for who he is and turn to Jesus Yeshua Messiah, accepting Him as their Lord and Savior.
THE ANGEL GABRIEL PROPHECY - THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE AND THE CITY COMES TO PASS
In 445 B.C., Artaxerxes Longimanus King of Persia issued the final decree that freed the remaining Jews still living in Babylon to go back to Israel. Fulfilling Isaiah 44:28, less than 45,000 Jews actually chose to return to their homeland. In the years of their captivity, most of the Jews living in Babylon had started new lives. Many had their own homes and businesses and had no desire to return to Israel and start all over again. At that point in Jewish history and long after that, there were more Jews living in Babylon than in Israel.
GOD PUNISHES THE JEWS 2,520 ADDITIONAL YEARS FOR NOT RETURNING TO ISRAEL WHEN THEY WERE RELEASED FROM THEIR 70-YEAR CAPTIVITY IN BABYLON
God, knowing the end from the beginning, knew that most of the Jews would refuse to return to Israel, as prophesied in Leviticus 26:18. "If after all this, you will not listen to Me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over." NIV
WHAT DOES THE MATH SAY:
In addition to not letting the land rest every seventh year, it seemed that every nation the Israelites conquered from the time they crossed over the Jordan into Israel, to the time of their captivity in Babylon, many of the Jews would worship other gods.
Because of their idolatry, Israel finally split into two parts: Israel and Judah.
1. Israel consisted of the northern 10 tribes.
2. Judah consisted of the tribes of Judah and Levi.
Over time, many members of the 10 tribes living in Northern Israel migrated south to Judah to worship the God of their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And in the same way, many members of the tribes of Judah and Levi in the south, moved to Northern Israel to worship other gods, the gods of the tribal nations they had conquered who were living in the land of Israel when they had entered the Promise Land.
For the sins committed by the 10 tribes in the North, God counted 390 years and for sins committed by Judah. In the South, God counted 40 years, which combined equals 430 years. God counted 430 years that Israel in the North and Judah in the South had sinned against Him by worshiping other gods. Even so, He would have forgiven them for these sins, if they would have returned from Babylon to Israel after the first decree issued by Cyrus in 536 B.C.
Jerusalem sinned ..…………..……….…..…..….......390..years.
Judah sinned .…………..….…...….........……..+.......40..years.
...................................................................... ----------------
Total years Jerusalem and Judah sinned...... =.....430..years.
Years spent in captivity in Babylon ………...... -.......70..years.....God subtracted the 70 years.
......................................................................... ----------------
Difference ……………………………...…......... =.....360..years X 7 Times = 2,520 years.
God said that he would multiply their judgment 7-fold or 7 times the original judgments.
390 + 40 = 430 - 70 = 360 X 7 = 2,520 Additional years of judgment on the Jews.
God's 2,520-year punishment of the Jews ended May 15, 1948
God punishes the Jews an additional 2,520 years for refusing to go back to Israel after they were released from Babylon. This additional 2,520 years of judgment ended May 15, 1948.
536 B.C. Cyrus issued the decree to go back to Israel and rebuild the temple.
536 B.C. + 2,520 additional years of punishment ……………… = May 15, 1949 Since there is no year "0," we subtract one year, which equals ….......... = May 15, 1948
IMPORTANT: Although Israel declared herself a nation on May 14, 1948, England did not release authority to them until midnight, which equals May 15, 1948. 2,520 years to the very day.
Reference: Sir Robert Anderson "The Coming Prince"
Look around you, since May 15, 1948, natural and man-made calamities and disasters are occurring in cycles unprecedented in the history of man. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, weather changes, wars, famine and disease are widespread and little hope is on the horizon. All these are signs Jesus spoke of. Yet, these are only the beginning. The signs that are yet to come will be likened to a woman in travail, about to give birth, the birth pains will begin slowly and grow more intense and shorter in intervals the years following 2012 as the earth renews, cleanses and purifies itself through twenty-one (21) cycles according to prophecy that I am certain of and possibly seven (7) more cycles that have not been made clear as of this writing. Although terrifying, this renewing process will not happen suddenly, but will occur in cycles, with each cycle becoming stronger, more deadly and closer together as the cycles are completed one after the other.
HOW LONG IS A GENERATION THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS PROPHECY
MANY serious Bible students, including many scholars, pastors, teachers and evangelists believe that a generation is forty years. They believe this because of what God told the Israelites at the Jordan River, when the Jews refused to cross the Jordan into the Promise Land, because they were afraid of the giants or the descendants of Nephilim who inhabited the land. Because the Jews refused to enter into the promise, God made them wander in the desert for forty years.
In God's anger, He swore an oath in Numbers 32:11-13 "Because you have not followed Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty-years-old or more who came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not one, except for Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, son of Nun, for they followed the LORD wholeheartedly. The Lord's anger burned against Israel and He made them wander in the desert forty years, until the whole generation over twenty years of age of those who had done evil in His sight were gone dead.' " NIV
Another scripture used to substantiate the forty-year generation theory is found in Psalms 95:10-11 where God says, "For Forty Years I was angry with that generation, I said, 'They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My way s.' So I declared an oath in My anger, 'They shall never enter My rest.' " NIV
The words "My rest" referred to in the previous scripture is the Promise Land of Israel.
These scriptures would have probably settled the question if it were not for the fact that God changed the length of a generation or the span of a man's life three different times; to say, nothing of the fact that God's prophecy concerning the forty-year exile applied to only those who were twenty years of age or older.
In Numbers 32:11,"God said, not one of the men Twenty Years or more would enter the Promise Land." Using this as a model would mean that the youngest person to die, if he lived forty years after God gave the prophecy would have been Sixty Years Old, which would completely nullify the forty-year generation theory.
20 + 40 = 60
From 20 years old will die within 40 years Minimum age the youngest person would die.
THE THREE DIFFERENT LIFE SPANS OR LENGTHS OF LIFE GOD GAVE MAN TO LIVE
The life span or generation is the average years of a man's life.
LIFE SPAN ONE
From the time of Adam to Noah's Flood, many lived six, seven, eight and even up to nine hundred years or more. Methuselah lived 969 years and died one year before the flood. Noah lived nine hundred and fifty years before he died. Six hundred years before the Flood, and three-hundred-and-fifty years after the Flood.
LIFE SPAN TWO
In Genesis 6:3, "God saw how corrupt man had become, 'My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is a mortal; his days will be one hundred and twenty years.' " Even though God placed a new life span on man's life, it was not until about five hundred years after the flood that He started enforcing the one hundred-twenty year average life span.
LIFE SPAN THREE
In the Book of Psalms, the scripture tells of God changing the life span of man yet again.
Psalms 90:9-10 "All our days pass away under Your wrath; we finish our years with a moan."
10 "The length of our days is seventy years -- or eighty, if we have the strength." NIV
A score is twenty years, so three score would be sixty years, plus ten years would total seventy years. The average life span of man from that time up, to and including, our own generation is Seventy Years. Isaiah also refers to the length of a man's life, Isaiah 23:15 "At that time, Tyre will be forgotten for Seventy Years, the span of a king's life." NIV
TIMELINE SIGNS FROM 1048 TO THE END OF THE AGE
In Matthew 24:4-8, Jesus explained what would happen in the last generation and
how we would recognize it as the last generation and the end of the age: "You will hear
of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must
happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are
the beginning of birth pains.' " NIV
All these are signs Jesus spoke of. Yet, these are only the beginning. Following 2012 just as a woman in travail, about to give birth, the birth pains of the earth will begin slowly and grow more intense and shorter in intervals.

DEATH FROM FAMINE AND STARVATION
2001-2004 estimates On the average, a person dies every second as a result of starvation -
3,600 every hour - 86,400 each day - 31,536,000 each year - 58% of all deaths.
2002-2008 estimates On the average, a child under five dies every 5 seconds as a result of
starvation - 700 every hour 16,000 each day - 6,000,000 each year - 60% of all child deaths
are a direct result of starvation.
Facts On World Hunger 2009:
More than 2.8 billion people, close to half the world's population, live on less than the
equivalent of $2/day.
More than ½ billion people or about 20% of the world's population, live on less than the
equivalent of $1/day.
800+ million people lack adequate access to food
1.2 billion people lack access to safe water 2 billion people lack sanitation facilities.
1 billion people lack adequate shelter 1.3 billion people live below the poverty line.
Global Situation - Malnutrition 2009:
30 percent of children under five years of age are underweight
199 million children suffer from protein energy malnutrition
40 million people suffer from vitamin A deficiency
2 billion people are affected by or at risk from iodine deficiency disorders
2 billion people are affected by or at risk from iron deficiency anemia
DEATH FROM DEADLY DISEASES 2004-2008:
2004 As of June 3, 2004, about 40 million people worldwide were infected with the AIDS
virus. In the United States, there are at least 830,000 full-blown cases of AIDS and as
many as 950,000 Americans infected with HIV.
2008 Infectious Diseases infected 300 million people with more that 5 million deaths.
As the earth slows down, there will be earthquakes all over the world to a magnitude that will change the formation of continents. Tidal waves will cover the coastline of every continent hundreds of miles inland. Volcanoes dormant for thousands of years will suddenly erupt sending smoke and ash into the atmosphere that will cover the earth. All transportation and communication will suddenly stop; temperatures will plunge, there will be no fuel, food or medical aid for the sick and dying, who are still be left alive.
For their own safety, people will again as they did hundreds of years ago, form tribes and fight other tribes for what they need to survive. Because of the economic meltdown and vacant stores and shopping centers, sanctuaries will be easily found. While this is the reality that many believe will occur, others believe that the earth will go through a gentle metamorphosis. And over time be reborn again into the paradise God first created...or God will come down and save them from destruction? Wishful thinking! The truth is the world will not end in 2012. The year 2012 merely marks the beginning of cataclysmic natural disasters that will change the face, environment and lives of those on the earth.
MAYAN LONG COUNT CALENDAR
The Mayan calendar marks December 21, 2012 as the end of the thirteen cycle that makes up what is known as the Mayan Long Count Calendar and the beginning of the end. Although the Mayans believe this will be the beginning of the end, they do not claim that the world will actually end on December 21, 2012, but that 2012 marks the cycle for the changes to begin that will take place over the next several years following 2012.
I CHING
I Ching Like the Mayan Long Count Calendar, predicted events that occurred in cycles. And when laid over a timeline of history, like the Mayan Long Count Calendar, the I Ching ends its cycles of time on December 21, 2012.
2012 THE REALITY AND WHAT WILL REALLY HAPPEN
In the preceding paragraphs, I have just given you brief scenarios of what many believe will actually happen or start to happen on December 21, 2012 and if you believe what they say, you will spend the next few years in fear and without hope just waiting for the end. Although it is true that on December 21, 2012 the earth will start to go through changes with an increased frequency in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and weather changes, it will not be the end of the world. But it will be the beginning of the end. According to prophecy, the end will come in this generation, but when...., And how long is a generation?
According to bible prophecy, the only book that has never been proven wrong, that actually prophesies events before they happen, prophesied several events that must come to pass before the end of the age, or the end of the world as we know it. But what are they, and how will you know what time it is on God's Prophetic Countdown Clock?
THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES - WHAT ARE THEY?
In Matthew 24:4-8, Jesus explained what would happen in the last generation "Our Generation", and how we would recognize it as the last generation and the end of the age: Matthew 24:4-8, "Watch out,' He said '...that no one deceives you. For many will come in My Name claiming, "I am the Christ," and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.' " NIV
In Mark, Jesus left no doubt as to the generation that would be the last generation when He said, Mark 13:28-31 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near." 29 "Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door." 30 "I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened." 31 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away." NIV
ISRAEL BECOMES A NATION MAY 15, 1948
The "Begin To Take Place" spoken of in Luke 21:28 and the "Parable of the Fig Tree" both represents Israel. Israel became a nation on May 15, 1948 and marks the day the last generation begin, and the signs of how much time is left.
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY AND WHAT PART DOES ISRAEL PLAY IN THE LAST DAYS?
When God gave Israel to the Jews, He laid down Two Rules that they must abide by in order for them to keep the land for Him to protect them.
1. You must not worship any other god.
2. You must work the land Seven (7) years and then let the land rest for one year.
To these rules they gladly agreed, but as soon as God allowed them to enter into the promise land, the tribe of Dan began to worship other gods and the rest of the tribes soon followed.
As for letting the land rest, they failed that command also, and when they had accumulated 490 conceptive years which equaled 70 years they had not let the land rest, God stepped in and allowed Babylon to conquer Israel, carry off the Israelites into slavery and let the land rest for the hole 70 years at one time.
At the end of the Jewish 70 year captivity in Babylon, the Angel Gabriel came to Daniel and revealed what the Lord had said how long it would be until the Messiah, who is Jesus would come. Daniel 9:24-27 "Seventy 'sevens' which are 490 years are decreed for your people and your Holy City to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy."
In 445 B.C. Artaxerxes Longimanus issued the final decree allowing the Jews to rebuild the City and the Walls of the City, but even then, out of the hundreds of thousands that were taken captive, only about 42,360 Jews actually went back to Israel.
"Know and understand: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, Messiah, the Ruler comes, there will be Seven 'sevens,' 49 years and Sixty-Two 'sevens' 483 years. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench. But in times of trouble, after the Sixty-Two `Sevens,' 434 years, the Anointed One will be cut off, killed and will have nothing." NIV
It is important to understand that the Jewish calendar was divided into twelve 30-day months, which equals a 360-day year. In addition to counting in 30-day months, the Jews also counted in Weeks of Years. A week represented 7 years.
Gabriel laid out the exact mathematical timeline to the very day from the issuing of the decree by King Cyrus to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Jesus the Messiah would enter the City of Jerusalem to be crucified would be:
173,880 days to the very day.
7 (sevens) and 62 (sevens) = equals 69 sevens.
7 weeks + 62 weeks = 69 weeks X 7 yrs. per wk = 483 yrs. X a 360-day yr. = 173,880 days.
Artaxerxes Longimanus issued the decree to rebuild the city and the Walls of the City in 445 B.C.
445 B.C. The 1st day of Nisan + 173,880 days = the 14th day of Nisan 32 A.D.
Gabriel predicted a total of 70 weeks of years. Sixty-nine of those weeks of years pertained to the day Jesus would enter through the gates of Jerusalem as the Messiah. After Jesus entered the gates of Jerusalem, God stopped his countdown clock. The last week of years or the last seven years will be fulfilled in our generation when the soon-coming Antichrist signs an agreement to enforce or police a peace treaty that will be signed between Israel and the surrounding Arab nations.
JESUS HELD THE JEWS RESPONSIBLE
In Matthew 16:2-4 2 Jesus said "When evening comes, you say, `It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' 3 and in the morning, `Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it, except the sign of Jonah." Saying this, Jesus then left them and went away. NIV
The decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem and the Walls of the City was issued by Artaxerxes Longimanus King of Persia on March 14, 445 B.C., which is the 1st day of Nisan on the Jewish calendar. Gabriel's prophecy that from the going forth of that decree by King Cyrus until Jesus would enter through the gates of Jerusalem riding on a donkey would be 69 weeks (see formula on the previous page) which is 173,880 days.
Jesus fulfilled Gabriel's prophecy to the very day. On the 14th day of Nisan 32 A.D., Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on the colt, the foal of a donkey fulfilling
Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your KING comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gently and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." NIV
MATTHEW DESCRIBES THIS SAME EVENT IN MATTHEW 21:1-9.
Matthew 21:1-9. "As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of
Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, 'Go to the village ahead of you and at once,
you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to Me. If
anyone says anything to you, tell him that The Lord needs them, and He will send them right
away. This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Zechariah. Say to the
Daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the
foal of a donkey.' "
The disciples did as Jesus instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, then placed their cloaks on the colt, and Jesus sat on the colt. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed shouted,
"Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest!" NIV
This was the only day that Jesus allowed Himself to be worshiped as LORD and KING of Kings. On the 17th day, of Nisan 32 A.D., Jesus was crucified. And gave His Spirit up to the Father. There is no year "0."
Jesus' ministry began in the Autumn of 28 A.D. We know this because Tiberius was appointed Caesar in 14 A.D. after Augustus died on August 19 in 14 A.D. In Luke 3:1, Luke defines the time Luke 3:1-6 "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, 'The voice of one crying in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of The Lord, make His paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.' " KJV
To calculate this, you take 14 A.D. when Tiberius was appointed + 14 years = 28 years. When 14 years are behind him, he is in the 15th year of his reign.
The decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem and the Walls of the City was issued by Artaxerxes Longimanus King of Persia on March 14, 445 B.C. to 32 A.D. = 173,762 days + leap year 118 days, (445 A.D. Longimanus' decree,) Palm Sunday is 173,880 days and is the very day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem riding on a donkey as prophesied by Zechariah 9:9.
Because the Angel Gabriel foretold the exact day Jesus would enter Jerusalem as the Messiah, Jesus held the whole Jewish nation responsible for not recognizing Him as the Son of God, and their Messiah, on the day He entered Jerusalem riding on a colt.
In the Gospel of Luke 19:41-44, "Luke tells us that as Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it and said 'If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you.' " NIV
The time of "God's coming to you" in the preceding scripture refers to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, and because the Jews did not recognize Jesus as their Messiah, He caused a blindness to come over their eyes.
Romans 11:25-26 "For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened
to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so, all Israel will be saved,
as it is written." NKJV
In the preceding paragraph, where Jesus says, "You did not recognize the time of God's coming to you," He laid it right on the line. The day Jesus entered into the city, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit came to His people in the God Man Jesus the Christ and they did not know Him. And because they did not recognize Him, He blinded their eyes until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. The fullness of the Gentiles refers to the Rapture of the Church, and even then, not all of the Jews will accept Jesus as their Savior until the middle of the seven-year Tribulation.
In the following passage, Jesus warns the Israelites that because they did not believe or recognize Him as the Messiah at His coming, another would come whom they would believe.
John 5:41-43 "I have come in My Father's Name, and you do not receive Me; if another
comes in his own name, him you will receive." NKJV
The man Jesus is referring to in the preceding paragraph is the Antichrist, whose spirit will be the spirit of Satan. Like the Holy Spirit indwells Jesus Christ, the Antichrist will be indwelled with the spirit of Satan himself. This event will occur in our generation within the next several years, if not sooner. When this man takes over the world as the world leader, the whole world will be deceived, including the Jews, and it will not be until the middle of the seven-year Tribulation that they, the Jews, will see him for who he is and turn to Jesus Yeshua Messiah, accepting Him as their Lord and Savior.
THE ANGEL GABRIEL PROPHECY - THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE AND THE CITY COMES TO PASS
In 445 B.C., Artaxerxes Longimanus King of Persia issued the final decree that freed the remaining Jews still living in Babylon to go back to Israel. Fulfilling Isaiah 44:28, less than 45,000 Jews actually chose to return to their homeland. In the years of their captivity, most of the Jews living in Babylon had started new lives. Many had their own homes and businesses and had no desire to return to Israel and start all over again. At that point in Jewish history and long after that, there were more Jews living in Babylon than in Israel.
GOD PUNISHES THE JEWS 2,520 ADDITIONAL YEARS FOR NOT RETURNING TO ISRAEL WHEN THEY WERE RELEASED FROM THEIR 70-YEAR CAPTIVITY IN BABYLON
God, knowing the end from the beginning, knew that most of the Jews would refuse to return to Israel, as prophesied in Leviticus 26:18. "If after all this, you will not listen to Me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over." NIV
WHAT DOES THE MATH SAY:
In addition to not letting the land rest every seventh year, it seemed that every nation the Israelites conquered from the time they crossed over the Jordan into Israel, to the time of their captivity in Babylon, many of the Jews would worship other gods.
Because of their idolatry, Israel finally split into two parts: Israel and Judah.
1. Israel consisted of the northern 10 tribes.
2. Judah consisted of the tribes of Judah and Levi.
Over time, many members of the 10 tribes living in Northern Israel migrated south to Judah to worship the God of their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And in the same way, many members of the tribes of Judah and Levi in the south, moved to Northern Israel to worship other gods, the gods of the tribal nations they had conquered who were living in the land of Israel when they had entered the Promise Land.
For the sins committed by the 10 tribes in the North, God counted 390 years and for sins committed by Judah. In the South, God counted 40 years, which combined equals 430 years. God counted 430 years that Israel in the North and Judah in the South had sinned against Him by worshiping other gods. Even so, He would have forgiven them for these sins, if they would have returned from Babylon to Israel after the first decree issued by Cyrus in 536 B.C.
Jerusalem sinned ..…………..……….…..…..….......390..years.
Judah sinned .…………..….…...….........……..+.......40..years.
...................................................................... ----------------
Total years Jerusalem and Judah sinned...... =.....430..years.
Years spent in captivity in Babylon ………...... -.......70..years.....God subtracted the 70 years.
......................................................................... ----------------
Difference ……………………………...…......... =.....360..years X 7 Times = 2,520 years.
God said that he would multiply their judgment 7-fold or 7 times the original judgments.
390 + 40 = 430 - 70 = 360 X 7 = 2,520 Additional years of judgment on the Jews.
God's 2,520-year punishment of the Jews ended May 15, 1948
God punishes the Jews an additional 2,520 years for refusing to go back to Israel after they were released from Babylon. This additional 2,520 years of judgment ended May 15, 1948.
536 B.C. Cyrus issued the decree to go back to Israel and rebuild the temple.
536 B.C. + 2,520 additional years of punishment ……………… = May 15, 1949 Since there is no year "0," we subtract one year, which equals ….......... = May 15, 1948
IMPORTANT: Although Israel declared herself a nation on May 14, 1948, England did not release authority to them until midnight, which equals May 15, 1948. 2,520 years to the very day.
Reference: Sir Robert Anderson "The Coming Prince"
Look around you, since May 15, 1948, natural and man-made calamities and disasters are occurring in cycles unprecedented in the history of man. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, weather changes, wars, famine and disease are widespread and little hope is on the horizon. All these are signs Jesus spoke of. Yet, these are only the beginning. The signs that are yet to come will be likened to a woman in travail, about to give birth, the birth pains will begin slowly and grow more intense and shorter in intervals the years following 2012 as the earth renews, cleanses and purifies itself through twenty-one (21) cycles according to prophecy that I am certain of and possibly seven (7) more cycles that have not been made clear as of this writing. Although terrifying, this renewing process will not happen suddenly, but will occur in cycles, with each cycle becoming stronger, more deadly and closer together as the cycles are completed one after the other.
HOW LONG IS A GENERATION THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS PROPHECY
MANY serious Bible students, including many scholars, pastors, teachers and evangelists believe that a generation is forty years. They believe this because of what God told the Israelites at the Jordan River, when the Jews refused to cross the Jordan into the Promise Land, because they were afraid of the giants or the descendants of Nephilim who inhabited the land. Because the Jews refused to enter into the promise, God made them wander in the desert for forty years.
In God's anger, He swore an oath in Numbers 32:11-13 "Because you have not followed Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty-years-old or more who came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not one, except for Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, son of Nun, for they followed the LORD wholeheartedly. The Lord's anger burned against Israel and He made them wander in the desert forty years, until the whole generation over twenty years of age of those who had done evil in His sight were gone dead.' " NIV
Another scripture used to substantiate the forty-year generation theory is found in Psalms 95:10-11 where God says, "For Forty Years I was angry with that generation, I said, 'They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My way s.' So I declared an oath in My anger, 'They shall never enter My rest.' " NIV
The words "My rest" referred to in the previous scripture is the Promise Land of Israel.
These scriptures would have probably settled the question if it were not for the fact that God changed the length of a generation or the span of a man's life three different times; to say, nothing of the fact that God's prophecy concerning the forty-year exile applied to only those who were twenty years of age or older.
In Numbers 32:11,"God said, not one of the men Twenty Years or more would enter the Promise Land." Using this as a model would mean that the youngest person to die, if he lived forty years after God gave the prophecy would have been Sixty Years Old, which would completely nullify the forty-year generation theory.
20 + 40 = 60
From 20 years old will die within 40 years Minimum age the youngest person would die.
THE THREE DIFFERENT LIFE SPANS OR LENGTHS OF LIFE GOD GAVE MAN TO LIVE
The life span or generation is the average years of a man's life.
LIFE SPAN ONE
From the time of Adam to Noah's Flood, many lived six, seven, eight and even up to nine hundred years or more. Methuselah lived 969 years and died one year before the flood. Noah lived nine hundred and fifty years before he died. Six hundred years before the Flood, and three-hundred-and-fifty years after the Flood.
LIFE SPAN TWO
In Genesis 6:3, "God saw how corrupt man had become, 'My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is a mortal; his days will be one hundred and twenty years.' " Even though God placed a new life span on man's life, it was not until about five hundred years after the flood that He started enforcing the one hundred-twenty year average life span.
LIFE SPAN THREE
In the Book of Psalms, the scripture tells of God changing the life span of man yet again.
Psalms 90:9-10 "All our days pass away under Your wrath; we finish our years with a moan."
10 "The length of our days is seventy years -- or eighty, if we have the strength." NIV
A score is twenty years, so three score would be sixty years, plus ten years would total seventy years. The average life span of man from that time up, to and including, our own generation is Seventy Years. Isaiah also refers to the length of a man's life, Isaiah 23:15 "At that time, Tyre will be forgotten for Seventy Years, the span of a king's life." NIV
TIMELINE SIGNS FROM 1048 TO THE END OF THE AGE
In Matthew 24:4-8, Jesus explained what would happen in the last generation and
how we would recognize it as the last generation and the end of the age: "You will hear
of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must
happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are
the beginning of birth pains.' " NIV
All these are signs Jesus spoke of. Yet, these are only the beginning. Following 2012 just as a woman in travail, about to give birth, the birth pains of the earth will begin slowly and grow more intense and shorter in intervals.
