A Mathematical Bible Prophecy

[DUST IN THE WIND]

I'm skeptical of things like this for obvious reasons, but if you follow this through, it makes sense. I would love to hear other opinions.

Israel Back As a Nation ... May 14, 1948
A Remarkable Mathematical Prophecy!

The Prophecy ... (Ezekiel 4:4-6)

"Then God said to Ezekiel,
'Now lie on your left side for 390 days
to show Israel will be punished for 390 years
by captivity and doom.
Each day you lie there represents
a year of punishment ahead for Israel.
Afterwards, turn over and lay on your right side
for 40 days, to signify the years of Judah's punishment.
Each day will represent one year . . .'"
(Ezekiel 4:4-6)


A Mathematical Bible Prophecy . . .

Although a little obscure (and sophisticated) this is one of the most fascinating prophecies found in the Bible.

Here, we find God telling Ezekiel that each day he (Ezekiel) lies on his side will represent one year of punishment for the nation Israel (Israel + Judah) because of their iniquities (sins) against God . . .

So, we have:

390 days Judgment against the 10 northern tribes 'Israel'
+ 40 days Judgment against the 2 southern tribes 'Judah'
= 430 years Judgment against the nation of Israel


The Fulfillment of the Prophetic Judgment Begins . . .

In 606 B.C. Israel (Judah) was taken into captivity by Babylon for exactly 70 years ...

430 years of judgment determined against nation Israel
- 70 years fulfilled during the captivity in Babylon
= 360 years remaining in judgment against the nation of Israel


The Mystery of 360 Years . . .

There should have been a total of 360 years left in judgment against Israel after their release from Babylonian captivity by the Persian general Cyrus, exactly 70 years after the Babylonian captivity began (just as the prophet Jeremiah had prophesied before the captivity) ... but where was the remaining 360 year judgment in Israel's history??!!


The '7X' Factor of God's Judgment . . .

Bible scholars could not find any specific captivity or dispersion that fulfilled these 360 years left in the judgment until a close look in the book of Leviticus revealed a startling prophetic warning ...

"And after all this, if you do not obey Me,
then I (God) will punish you seven times more for your sins."
(Leviticus 26:18)

"Then, if you walk contrary to Me,
and are not willing to obey Me,
I (God) will bring on you seven times more plagues,
according to your sins."
(Leviticus 26:21)

"And after all this,
if you do not obey Me,
but walk contrary to Me,
then I (God) also will walk contrary to you in fury;
and I, even I will chastise you seven times for your sins.:
(Leviticus 26:27-28)

"I (God) will scatter you among the nations
and draw a sword after you;
your Land shall be desolate
and your cities waste."
(Leviticus 26:33)


The 7X factor of God's judgment against nation Israel. God warned Israel if they continued in their disobedience He would multiply their judgment by seven times! Remember, as noted throughout these prophetic studies, God says what He means and He means what He says!


Prophecy Fulfilled . . .

Now, let's apply the 7X factor to the remaining 360 years of judgment against nation Israel in this remarkable mathematical prophecy . . .

360 Remaining years of judgment
x 7 The prophetic '7X' factor
= 2,520 Years of judgment remained against nation Israel


God gave the Jews the most sophisticated calendar on Earth. It is both a Lunar and a Solar calendar. The Jewish calendar uses a 360 day lunar (and prophetic) year and then adds a 'Leap Month' on specific years to accurately coincide with the Solar cycle we use on our 'Julian' calendar ...

The Bible uses 360 day years for prophecies and expects us to add the appropriate 'leap months' on schedule. So, the easiest way to unravel this prophecy is to first convert this prophecy into days ...

2,520 years
x 360 days
= 907,200 days of judgment remained against nation Israel after the Babylonian captivity


Now, convert the 907,200 days found in this prophecy into our 365.25 day solar years (the .25 adjusts for leap years) . . .

907,200 days ÷ 365.25 days = 2,483.78 years of judgment remained against nation Israel


With this information, let's look at this remarkable prophecy again . . .

606 B.C Israel taken into Babylonian captivity
- 70 Years for 70 years
= 536 B.C. End of first 70 years of judgment
+ 2483 Years Now add the 2,483 years remaining in this judgment
+ 1 Year Add 1 year because there is no "0" B.C. or A.D.
= 1948 AD! End of judgment against nation Israel


Israel Back in Her Land as a Nation . . . in 1948!

Judah (Israel) was taken into captivity by the Babylonians in 606 B.C. They were released from captivity 70 years later by the Persians in 536 A.D., exactly as the prophet Jeremiah had prophesied, but their land was still under the control of the Persians. The Persians were later conquered by the Greeks, and the land of Israel remained under Greek control. The Greeks were then conquered by Rome and the land of Israel remained under Roman control. After failed rebellions against Rome around 70 A.D. and another around 100 years later, the Romans removed the Jews from the land of Israel, dispersed them around the world, and renamed the land 'Palestine' after the enemies of Israel. Then, after 2,500 years, for the first time since the Babylonian captivity in 606 B.C., the world watched as Israel once again appeared on the world map as a sovereign nation, on May 14, 1948 ... exactly when the Bible said it would!


"Thus says the Lord God:
'Surely I will take the children of Israel
from among the nations,
wherever they have gone,
and will gather them from every side
and bring them into their own land."
(Ezekiel 37:21) ('Nations' (plural)...this is not their return from Babylon)

Here's a video that explains this prophecy too.

I've seen this before. Very cool indeed.

[jesuslover]

Another neat thing, though I don't know any reference for it. In relation to the 70 years. We are living in the 63rd year since Israel became a nation. If a generation is 70 years, and all things will come to pass before the generation that sees the nation of Israel becomes a nation, then we may be very close to the tribulation period indeed. We know that numbers are significant. The signs are all happening.

elenin, honda, levy. The sun at the shoulder of virgin and the moon at her feet on rosh hoshanna (Yom Teruah) or otherwise known as the feast of trumpets. earthquakes everyday.

Things that make you go hmmmm.




I feel personally we are very close indeed.

jesuslover,

The only question with regard to that, isn't so much how long a generation is...it's what exactly is the fig tree sprouting its leaves? We know it has to do with israel, but is it its rebirth? I don't think so. I think it is much more likely either the recapturing of jerusalem, or the coming psalm 83 conflict. One of those 2 fits the sprouting leaves metaphor much better.

[jesuslover]

You could be right. It's all speculation really and I'm not going to debate at all. The Father knows the day and the hour.

I'm just going to keep looking up.

[PrisonerOfHope]

It doesn't really serve any purpose to speculate on the length of a generation; Jesus said that "This generation will not pass away until all these things are fulfilled." (Luke 21:32) We tend to think of it along the lines of the last day of the last year of a generation, but why does that have to be the case? For example, the Lord had told me on February 14 of 1988 that I'd be married before the year was through. Well, I wasn't even dating anyone at the time and had no prospects, and figured for some reason that I'd be married by December 31. Well, I was engaged by February 28 and married on September 10! In fact, it looked like the wedding would have to be postponed, but God changed circumstances so that we were able to adhere to the original date we had set.

One thing is certain: look at the news forum, at the apostasy forum, at the signs forum....the world can't go on as it is much longer. It's totally broken, and - as a friend and I were discussing earlier - only God can fix it...although the Antichrist will seem to be the man with the plan.
