"The Balfour Century" 1917-2017
Here are details on Lord Balfour's Declaration of Nov. 2, 1917 which relate to Christ second advent. "His Majesty's Government (the world power of the time) view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, ..." The basic concept is attributed to Christian Witness founder, Albert B. Simpson, ABS, (1843-1919). ABS believed the restoration of Israel was a necessity for Christ Advent.(f1) The Balfour declaration could be taken as starting the Diaspora-end and Israel's gathering out of "all the nations". For not since before 70 A.D. had any prince, power, nor potentate; issued such a sweeping statement. A declaration that would cost the Empire dearly in the blood of their finest. The CW&MA, ABS's organization, also held the view, that General Allenby's liberation of Jerusalem (11 Dec. 1917) from Ottoman rule started the end of the gentile age. (f1) Luke 21:24-25 (KJV): And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. The following verse from Genesis equates four hundred years to four generations. This equates to one generation being one hundred, 100 years, more or less. If one takes the Exodus account, a generation equates to 107.5 years. Genesis, chapter 15: "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. " (f2) Exodus 12:40-41 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. So is given that a generation by one biblical account is around 100 years. The end of the last Diaspora was initiated November 1917. Which unbeknown to most; would usher in "The Balfour Century". It is commonly held that the "going out from Egypt" is a 'type' for the rapture, so too should the 100 year generation hold for time span before the going out by Christ rapture. Strange but true: Moses declared a Jubilee every 50 year cycle, 1917+50= 1967, year of east Jerusalem fall to Israeli Army, so what happens around the 3rd jubilee of 2017?? United Nations resolution 181, Palestine Partition, established the nation of Israel boundary and 1947+70=2017, added just for 70 year generation believers, but result same for 100 year generation and 1917, ;-o) Allenby at Jerusalem, Dec.1917 The significance of the two facts was told by Jesus in Mark 13:28-30: "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near: 29 So you in like manner, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done." Notice Jesus did not say, 'when the fig tree is mature', but rather, 'when it starts to grow or put fourth'. Indicating the clock starts counting from the moment the event is initiated. Some eschatological counts start from 1948. However by 1948, the Diaspora-end was well underway, with substantial immigration to the holy land by 1948. The immigration was substantial enough for formation of militant groups to resist Crown administration of Jerusalem, prior to 1948. Additional clarification was added by Jesus when he stated, "this generation shall not pass away until all these things be completed". Possibly the generation to which he referenced are those born since the end of the Diaspora starting in 1917. If so, then, counting places the end of the church age somewhere between 2017 and 2024.5 A.D. Arrived at by counting the length of a Genesis generation and adding those years to the date of Balfour's declaration, AKA, "The Balfour Century". A similar conclusion is arrived at using "determined time" concept, see timeline analysis. __________________________________________________________________________ Teach us to number our days The last WW-1 veteran died in February 2012. There were about 65 million personnel in active service for that conflict. Presently, July 2012, there are less than 78 people documented to be older than 110 years. This is out of a global population of some 7 billion, give or take a billion. Clearly the 100 to 107.5 year span of a generation agrees with known mortality dynamics. My granny was one of the few who live past 100 years. She was born 1901 and passed late 2003 at nearly 102. The end of the Balfour century is fast approaching. What are you doing about it? Are you prepared for Christ return to take away his followers? If not, please take a moment and ask Jesus to forgive your sins by the atonement of Calvary's Blood. Then, seek out a church to attend and meet weekly with those who encourage your decision for Christ.

Considerations Are you advocating Christians make drastic life style changes? Generally, Christ parables advocated using your talents, not hiding them. His warnings were only about abusive life styles. Otherwise, it seems we are to strive to be our best in personal and professional life. The biblical term was, use your gifts and to not hide your talents. Since Christians will leave no body for a death certificate, perhaps modification of your Will to include wording relating to the calling away and or death. Most likely that would be appreciated by any relatives left behind.

The Two days or 2000 year concept of the church age Lending credence to the Balfour Century concept is a teaching from Charles Capps of England, Arkansas. Capps takes the concept of "a day with the Lord is as a thousand years" Psalm 90:4 (KJV) "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." And again in 2 Peter 3:8-10 (KJV) "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." and looks on the following scripture as meaning the church age is appointed as two thousand years: Ecclesiastes 6:6 (KJV) "Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?" And Hosea 6:2 (KJV), "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." Commonly applied as prophesy relating to the Lord's resurrection but could also relate toward the Second Advent or rapture. That two thousand years are appointed for the church age and in the beginning of the third day, as was with the Lords' resurrection, so also shall it be with the church's calling away. This concept is presented as it seems to lend further credence to the Balfour Century concept, should one be so inclined to believe. 2 Peter 3:3-5 (KJV) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4. And saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
The above timeline for The1Balfour0Century0 places TBC date from 1917-2017. The Balfour Century is contained within the Church Epoch dating from 24 AD until 2024AD. The dating of "The Church Epoch" is set based on Jesus birth in 7BC and anointing at thirty years age in 24AD by Saint Jean D'Baptist.

December of 1914 found some 11,000 displaced Aliyah refugees living in Alexandria Egypt. They had either fled or been expelled from Palestine by Turkish administrators of Palestine. The USS Tennessee was one conduit for swelling these numbers from Palestine. The younger refugees were eager to liberate Palestine from Turkish rule to realize the dream of a Jewish homeland. Some of whom were later admitted to form a Jewish British Army unit, the Zion Mule Corps. Perhaps the name most easily recognized from the ZMC was David Ben Gurion, 1st Israeli state president, who volunteered at rank of private. Aliyah, From Wiki article "First Aliyah (18821903) ... First Aliyah Between 1882 and 1903, approximately 35,000 Jews immigrated to the south-western area of Syria, then a province of the Ottoman Empire. The majority, belonging to the Hovevei Zion and Bilu movements, ... Second Aliyah (19041914) ... Second Aliyah Between 1904 and 1914, 40,000 Jews immigrated mainly from Russia to south-western Syria following pogroms and outbreaks of anti- Semitism in that country. ... The suburb of Jaffa, Ahuzat Bayit, established at this time, grew into the city of Tel Aviv. During this period, some of the underpinnings of an independent nation-state arose: The national language Hebrew was revived; newspapers and literature written in Hebrew published; political parties and workers organizations were established. The First World War effectively ended the period of the Second Aliyah. Third Aliyah (19191923) ... Third Aliyah Between 1919 and 1923, 40,000 Jews, mainly from the Russian Empire arrived in the wake of World War I, the British conquest of Palestine; the establishment of the Mandate, and the Balfour Declaration. ... the population of Jews reached 90,000 by the end of this ... Additional national institutions arose: The Histadrut (General Labor Federation); an elected assembly; national council; and the Haganah, the forerunner of the Israel Defense Forces." __________________________________________________________________________ What is the second advent? It is the return of Christ in the air to gather his elect from the earth. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 (KJV) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Acts 1:10-11 (KJV) And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11. Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. ___________________________________________________________________________ What means "the time of the Gentiles" It is speculated, that The times of the Gentiles is an important age within the two-thousand years of Messianic or Church Epoch. At the start, Jesus Christ stated: 'I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel'. It was not until the stoning of Stephen, that the gospel began to be declared to the gentiles. During the messianic age, Jesus said to Jerusalem inhabitants, 'You shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Perhaps at which point the times of the gentiles will be complete and then begins the last stage of Messianic Age. This last stage will be when the everlasting gospel is declared by Jews to all nations. The Sabbath rest of one thousand years is set apart from all other time as a day of holy rest. Apart from the Sabbath rest, all days from Jesus Anointing until time no longer should be considered part of the Messianic or Church Age. After or whentime no longer starts is the same as for ever and ever. The thousand years are a separated specific time within total bible time of seven onethousand-year days. However time apart from the Sabbath of 1,000 years must be placed into some epoch. The proposed epoch for determined time from Jesus anointing until time no longer is the Messianic Age, exempting the Sabbath of 1,000 years. To better understand how the close of The times of the Gentiles is approaching, ask yourself; are the heathen trampling over or controlling Jerusalem?; or are Jews still taken as prisoners to all countries? If one cannot answer in the affirmative, then perhaps the end of the gentiles times are upon us? And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (what end? the end of the Gentiles times for God is eternal) Notice Romans 9:28, "For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth." Since Jerusalem restoration to the Jew, there seems to be acceleration in spreading the gospel. Perhaps some crowning achievements in making the gospel available to man are; improved transportation systems, satellite, fiber optics, the Internet, and mobile phone. Presently, all but a few groups are out of reach, namely: illiterates and small language groups. Otherwise, it is safe to say all others have access to some form of the gospel message. For example, Christ-mass is now a nearly universal holiday across all major world markets.
Some have said the last preaching of the Gospel shall be in the millenial age by 144,000 Jews. If so, then starting to rebuild the temple is one of the next big events to expect. Plans for this work are ready, it is only the dovish Israel government holding up progress.

]________________________________________________________________________ Calendars Sidereal or Solar calendar and lunar calendar are not same. The modern world uses a Solar calendar of about 365.25 days per year. Various lunar calendars have been used by the ancient world. Some say the prophetic calendar corresponds to 360 days, Rev. 12. 6 & 14. Jesus said of the day and hour we cannot be sure. But we are told of the times and seasons we can be sure so that day not come upon us unawares. All debates aside, a year is and must be a year, as a year is 365.25 days, why? If a year is anything more or less, then there will be precession. This precession is seen in musalem calendar where holidays slide over various months. In the Jewish calendar there is no precession of holidays over months. The exact day of Passover or Easter varies, but without monthly precession because a year is 365.25 days over any large time span. Mazel-tov! _______________________________________________________________________________ Signs in the Heavens before that day (see above graphic) There was a blood moon tetrad occurrence just after Israel became a nation in 1948. Again occurring on Passover and Succoth for the years of 1949 and 1950! A very rare event and again occurring only on Jewish high holidays! tied with the birth of the nation of Israel. The next the very rare blood moon tetrad occurred over Jerusalem was in 1967 and 1968. This too occurred on the Jewish high holidays of Passover and Succoth. So this particular blood moon tetrad is tied to the recapturing of the city of Jerusalem. There was no blood moon tetrad anywhere in the 1800s, the 1700s, the 1600s. During the 1500s, there were six but none of these fell on Passover and Succoth. There was a rare blood moon tetrad tied to the Jewish high holidays of Passover and Succoth during 1493 and 1494, again occurring over Jerusalem. Possibly this blood moon tetrad is tied to the when the Jews were expelled from Spain and had started a migration back to Israel. Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. & Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: Joel 3:1"For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem. Isaiah 24:23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously The Omega Generation, points out: The maximum number of eclipses of the sun and the moon combined that can possibly occur in any single year is seven. Many believe that the year the Balfour Declaration was signed (1917) giving the Jews the right to return to Palestine, ushered in the time of the last generation mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 24:34, also called the time of the beginning of sorrows. In the year 1917 there were seven eclipses of the sun and the moon. As the seventh eclipse appeared, General Allenby marched into Jerusalem, thereby putting into effect the agreements contained within the Balfour Declaration." Footnote 48 from referenced link. Modern Israel began with Balfour s declaration of November 2, 1917 and General Edmund Allenby capturing Jerusalem on Dec 11th, Chanukah, of 1917. This could have fallen within a Jubilee year cycle; the Jews began returning into the land on that date of December 11th 1917 The rabbis teach that blood moons, "lunar eclipses" over Jerusalem are a sign used by God for the judgment of the nation of Israel. The rabbis also teach that solar eclipses over Jerusalem are sign for the judgments of the nations of the world. adapted from & without endorsements from, to, or for any of the given references.

Strange but true: If the 120 years generation of determined time is added to 1897 (year marking end of Daniel 1260 days and 1st Zionist Congress) we arrive at 2017. If the "Balfour Century" is added to the year of the Balfour Declaration and Jerusalem liberation from the Turk, 1917, we arrive at 2017. If the 70 year generation is added to the year of Palestine partion into Israel, we arrive at 2017. If we add one 50 year jubilee to date when Israel secure Jerusalem, 1967, we arrive at 2017. The Jew is God's time peace, are you ready? What are you doing about it? Some point to the purported prophesy of one "Rabbi" Judah Ben Samuel, that in year 2017 Messianic time starts. Prudence dictates such modern 'prophesy' should be compared to canonized scripture.
_____________________________________________________________________ Part B of Balfour declaration reads: " it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" For at the time of this declaration the majority of the population were decendents of the Philistines. A result of the Jewish Nation's failure to fulfil the mosaic commandment and sundry pograms against the Jewish nation from 70AD onward. "But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come about that those whom you let remain of them will become as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live. And as I plan to do to them, so I will do to you. Numbers 33:55-56 Judges 2 v3. Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you ... 20 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to my voice; 21 I also will not from now on drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 23 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. Judges 3:1 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israelis' had not known all the wars of Canaan; ---------------------------------------------------------------Now these are the nations ... - The nations left to prove the Israelites were the five lordships or satrapies of the Philistines, viz., Gath, Askelon, Ashdod, Ekron, and Gaza; the Sidonians, the Hivites of Lebanon, Baal-Hermon, etc.; with the remains of the Canaanites, viz., the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, and Jebusites. Those who were left to be proved were those Israelites that had not seen all the wars of Canaan. Verse 21 above does not in anyway deny the right of a co-current Jewish homeland in Palestine. Whilst v3 above fortells of modern failed Jehadist actions. ---------------
end from beginning version: They did not destroy the peoples, Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them, But they mingled with the Gentiles and learned their works; They served their idols, Which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. Thus they were defiled by their own works, and played the harlot by their own deeds. Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people, So that He abhorred His own inheritance. And He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, and those who hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand. Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry; and for their sake He remembered His covenant, And relented according to the multitude of His mercies. He also made them to be pitied by all those who carried them away captive. Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise the Lord! Psalm 106:34-48 (NKJV) From the above, are seen the roots of the modern conflict between Jew and Palestine peoples. Implementation of part B of Balfour's declaration without conflict is an unlikely and disdainful task. It is stated in scripture as a task better left to the conflicting parties. The times of the British mandate proved a bitter pill for British forces trying to impliment part B. The Bible declares, As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people Israel, I will uproot them from their lands if they learn well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, As surely as the LORD livesthen they will be established among my people. But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it, declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 12:14-17) Clearly the Lord has plans to uproot and destroy any nation that seizes the land He gave to the Jews as an inheritance. The question now remains, when? Isaiah 11:13-14: Ephraim (House of Israel/fullness of gentile nations who follow Jesus) will not be jealous of Judah (the Jews), nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim. They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia (modern day Gaza) to the west; together they will plunder the people to the east. They will subdue Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites (modern day Jordan) will be subject to them. According to Zechariah 12:9, He will deal harshly and severely with all nations who attack Jerusalem, On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem. Part (C) of Balfour Declaration, Jerusalem status Part (C) is in parens because there was no part (C) in Balfour's declaration. A part (C) was added under UN 181 in year 1947, creating a "Corpus separatum of Jerusalem (neither Jewish nor Arab)". Why a man of Abbas age would wish to hold Jerusalem as a philestine eternal capital is questionable. The last time philestines held the Ark of God they were struck with hemorrhoids. "God, however, repeatedly declares that the only way to resolve the contention over Jerusalem is the return of Jesus Christ to establish His just rule over it and all the earth: The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool." The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! . . . The Lord is at Your right hand; he shall execute kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill the places with dead bodies, he shall execute the heads of many countries. (Psalm 110:1-2, 5-6) O Zion, you who bring good tidings, get up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, you who bring good tidings, lift up your voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!" Behold the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. (Isaiah 40:9-10) "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah: In those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David a Branch of righteousness; He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. . . ." (Jeremiah 33:14-16) Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. . . The LORD also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the LORD will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel. So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, dwelling in Zion My holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy, and no aliens shall ever pass through her again. (Joel 3:14, 16-17) Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The LORD has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; you shall see disaster no more. In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The LORD your God is in your midst, the Mighty One, will save. . . ." (Zephaniah 3:14-17) "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. . . . It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem." . . . Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, and your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. . . . Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. . . . Thus the LORD my God will come. . . . And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. . . . The people shall dwell in [Jerusalem]; and no longer shall there be utter destruction, but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. (Zechariah 12:2, 9; 14:1-5, 9, 11)" _____________________________________________________________________ Below are links to this doc in both pdf format (0.5mb) and powerpoint. 3.5 mb http://sdrv.ms/RA9dw9 (the small file) http://sdrv.ms/RA9nDS (the large file).

Here are details on Lord Balfour's Declaration of Nov. 2, 1917 which relate to Christ second advent. "His Majesty's Government (the world power of the time) view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, ..." The basic concept is attributed to Christian Witness founder, Albert B. Simpson, ABS, (1843-1919). ABS believed the restoration of Israel was a necessity for Christ Advent.(f1) The Balfour declaration could be taken as starting the Diaspora-end and Israel's gathering out of "all the nations". For not since before 70 A.D. had any prince, power, nor potentate; issued such a sweeping statement. A declaration that would cost the Empire dearly in the blood of their finest. The CW&MA, ABS's organization, also held the view, that General Allenby's liberation of Jerusalem (11 Dec. 1917) from Ottoman rule started the end of the gentile age. (f1) Luke 21:24-25 (KJV): And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. The following verse from Genesis equates four hundred years to four generations. This equates to one generation being one hundred, 100 years, more or less. If one takes the Exodus account, a generation equates to 107.5 years. Genesis, chapter 15: "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. " (f2) Exodus 12:40-41 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. So is given that a generation by one biblical account is around 100 years. The end of the last Diaspora was initiated November 1917. Which unbeknown to most; would usher in "The Balfour Century". It is commonly held that the "going out from Egypt" is a 'type' for the rapture, so too should the 100 year generation hold for time span before the going out by Christ rapture. Strange but true: Moses declared a Jubilee every 50 year cycle, 1917+50= 1967, year of east Jerusalem fall to Israeli Army, so what happens around the 3rd jubilee of 2017?? United Nations resolution 181, Palestine Partition, established the nation of Israel boundary and 1947+70=2017, added just for 70 year generation believers, but result same for 100 year generation and 1917, ;-o) Allenby at Jerusalem, Dec.1917 The significance of the two facts was told by Jesus in Mark 13:28-30: "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near: 29 So you in like manner, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done." Notice Jesus did not say, 'when the fig tree is mature', but rather, 'when it starts to grow or put fourth'. Indicating the clock starts counting from the moment the event is initiated. Some eschatological counts start from 1948. However by 1948, the Diaspora-end was well underway, with substantial immigration to the holy land by 1948. The immigration was substantial enough for formation of militant groups to resist Crown administration of Jerusalem, prior to 1948. Additional clarification was added by Jesus when he stated, "this generation shall not pass away until all these things be completed". Possibly the generation to which he referenced are those born since the end of the Diaspora starting in 1917. If so, then, counting places the end of the church age somewhere between 2017 and 2024.5 A.D. Arrived at by counting the length of a Genesis generation and adding those years to the date of Balfour's declaration, AKA, "The Balfour Century". A similar conclusion is arrived at using "determined time" concept, see timeline analysis. __________________________________________________________________________ Teach us to number our days The last WW-1 veteran died in February 2012. There were about 65 million personnel in active service for that conflict. Presently, July 2012, there are less than 78 people documented to be older than 110 years. This is out of a global population of some 7 billion, give or take a billion. Clearly the 100 to 107.5 year span of a generation agrees with known mortality dynamics. My granny was one of the few who live past 100 years. She was born 1901 and passed late 2003 at nearly 102. The end of the Balfour century is fast approaching. What are you doing about it? Are you prepared for Christ return to take away his followers? If not, please take a moment and ask Jesus to forgive your sins by the atonement of Calvary's Blood. Then, seek out a church to attend and meet weekly with those who encourage your decision for Christ.

Considerations Are you advocating Christians make drastic life style changes? Generally, Christ parables advocated using your talents, not hiding them. His warnings were only about abusive life styles. Otherwise, it seems we are to strive to be our best in personal and professional life. The biblical term was, use your gifts and to not hide your talents. Since Christians will leave no body for a death certificate, perhaps modification of your Will to include wording relating to the calling away and or death.

The Two days or 2000 year concept of the church age Lending credence to the Balfour Century concept is a teaching from Charles Capps of England, Arkansas. Capps takes the concept of "a day with the Lord is as a thousand years" Psalm 90:4 (KJV) "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." And again in 2 Peter 3:8-10 (KJV) "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." and looks on the following scripture as meaning the church age is appointed as two thousand years: Ecclesiastes 6:6 (KJV) "Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?" And Hosea 6:2 (KJV), "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." Commonly applied as prophesy relating to the Lord's resurrection but could also relate toward the Second Advent or rapture. That two thousand years are appointed for the church age and in the beginning of the third day, as was with the Lords' resurrection, so also shall it be with the church's calling away. This concept is presented as it seems to lend further credence to the Balfour Century concept, should one be so inclined to believe. 2 Peter 3:3-5 (KJV) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4. And saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
The above timeline for The1Balfour0Century0 places TBC date from 1917-2017. The Balfour Century is contained within the Church Epoch dating from 24 AD until 2024AD. The dating of "The Church Epoch" is set based on Jesus birth in 7BC and anointing at thirty years age in 24AD by Saint Jean D'Baptist.

More details about "determined time" and "The Balfour Century" are given here. _________________________________________________________________________ Aliyah - Return of Jewish people's to the Holy Land or 'the second gathering' Aliyah is the opposite of 'Jews taken as prisoners to all countries' and indicates the close of 'the times of the gentiles'.As noted above there were various 'buddings' to the olive tree. December of 1914 found some 11,000 displaced Aliyah refugees living in Alexandria Egypt. They had either fled or been expelled from Palestine by Turkish administrators of Palestine. The USS Tennessee was one conduit for swelling these numbers from Palestine. The younger refugees were eager to liberate Palestine from Turkish rule to realize the dream of a Jewish homeland. Some of whom were later admitted to form a Jewish British Army unit, the Zion Mule Corps. Perhaps the name most easily recognized from the ZMC was David Ben Gurion, 1st Israeli state president, who volunteered at rank of private. Aliyah, From Wiki article "First Aliyah (18821903) ... First Aliyah Between 1882 and 1903, approximately 35,000 Jews immigrated to the south-western area of Syria, then a province of the Ottoman Empire. The majority, belonging to the Hovevei Zion and Bilu movements, ... Second Aliyah (19041914) ... Second Aliyah Between 1904 and 1914, 40,000 Jews immigrated mainly from Russia to south-western Syria following pogroms and outbreaks of anti- Semitism in that country. ... The suburb of Jaffa, Ahuzat Bayit, established at this time, grew into the city of Tel Aviv. During this period, some of the underpinnings of an independent nation-state arose: The national language Hebrew was revived; newspapers and literature written in Hebrew published; political parties and workers organizations were established. The First World War effectively ended the period of the Second Aliyah. Third Aliyah (19191923) ... Third Aliyah Between 1919 and 1923, 40,000 Jews, mainly from the Russian Empire arrived in the wake of World War I, the British conquest of Palestine; the establishment of the Mandate, and the Balfour Declaration. ... the population of Jews reached 90,000 by the end of this ... Additional national institutions arose: The Histadrut (General Labor Federation); an elected assembly; national council; and the Haganah, the forerunner of the Israel Defense Forces." __________________________________________________________________________ What is the second advent? It is the return of Christ in the air to gather his elect from the earth. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 (KJV) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Acts 1:10-11 (KJV) And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11. Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. ___________________________________________________________________________ What means "the time of the Gentiles" It is speculated, that The times of the Gentiles is an important age within the two-thousand years of Messianic or Church Epoch. At the start, Jesus Christ stated: 'I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel'. It was not until the stoning of Stephen, that the gospel began to be declared to the gentiles. During the messianic age, Jesus said to Jerusalem inhabitants, 'You shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Perhaps at which point the times of the gentiles will be complete and then begins the last stage of Messianic Age. This last stage will be when the everlasting gospel is declared by Jews to all nations. The Sabbath rest of one thousand years is set apart from all other time as a day of holy rest. Apart from the Sabbath rest, all days from Jesus Anointing until time no longer should be considered part of the Messianic or Church Age. After or whentime no longer starts is the same as for ever and ever. The thousand years are a separated specific time within total bible time of seven onethousand-year days. However time apart from the Sabbath of 1,000 years must be placed into some epoch. The proposed epoch for determined time from Jesus anointing until time no longer is the Messianic Age, exempting the Sabbath of 1,000 years. To better understand how the close of The times of the Gentiles is approaching, ask yourself; are the heathen trampling over or controlling Jerusalem?; or are Jews still taken as prisoners to all countries? If one cannot answer in the affirmative, then perhaps the end of the gentiles times are upon us? And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (what end? the end of the Gentiles times for God is eternal) Notice Romans 9:28, "For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth." Since Jerusalem restoration to the Jew, there seems to be acceleration in spreading the gospel. Perhaps some crowning achievements in making the gospel available to man are; improved transportation systems, satellite, fiber optics, the Internet, and mobile phone. Presently, all but a few groups are out of reach, namely: illiterates and small language groups. Otherwise, it is safe to say all others have access to some form of the gospel message. For example, Christ-mass is now a nearly universal holiday across all major world markets.
Some have said the last preaching of the Gospel shall be in the millenial age by 144,000 Jews. If so, then starting to rebuild the temple is one of the next big events to expect. Plans for this work are ready, it is only the dovish Israel government holding up progress.

]________________________________________________________________________ Calendars Sidereal or Solar calendar and lunar calendar are not same. The modern world uses a Solar calendar of about 365.25 days per year. Various lunar calendars have been used by the ancient world. Some say the prophetic calendar corresponds to 360 days, Rev. 12. 6 & 14. Jesus said of the day and hour we cannot be sure. But we are told of the times and seasons we can be sure so that day not come upon us unawares. All debates aside, a year is and must be a year, as a year is 365.25 days, why? If a year is anything more or less, then there will be precession. This precession is seen in musalem calendar where holidays slide over various months. In the Jewish calendar there is no precession of holidays over months. The exact day of Passover or Easter varies, but without monthly precession because a year is 365.25 days over any large time span. Mazel-tov! _______________________________________________________________________________ Signs in the Heavens before that day (see above graphic) There was a blood moon tetrad occurrence just after Israel became a nation in 1948. Again occurring on Passover and Succoth for the years of 1949 and 1950! A very rare event and again occurring only on Jewish high holidays! tied with the birth of the nation of Israel. The next the very rare blood moon tetrad occurred over Jerusalem was in 1967 and 1968. This too occurred on the Jewish high holidays of Passover and Succoth. So this particular blood moon tetrad is tied to the recapturing of the city of Jerusalem. There was no blood moon tetrad anywhere in the 1800s, the 1700s, the 1600s. During the 1500s, there were six but none of these fell on Passover and Succoth. There was a rare blood moon tetrad tied to the Jewish high holidays of Passover and Succoth during 1493 and 1494, again occurring over Jerusalem. Possibly this blood moon tetrad is tied to the when the Jews were expelled from Spain and had started a migration back to Israel. Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. & Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: Joel 3:1"For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem. Isaiah 24:23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously The Omega Generation, points out: The maximum number of eclipses of the sun and the moon combined that can possibly occur in any single year is seven. Many believe that the year the Balfour Declaration was signed (1917) giving the Jews the right to return to Palestine, ushered in the time of the last generation mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 24:34, also called the time of the beginning of sorrows. In the year 1917 there were seven eclipses of the sun and the moon. As the seventh eclipse appeared, General Allenby marched into Jerusalem, thereby putting into effect the agreements contained within the Balfour Declaration." Footnote 48 from referenced link. Modern Israel began with Balfour s declaration of November 2, 1917 and General Edmund Allenby capturing Jerusalem on Dec 11th, Chanukah, of 1917. This could have fallen within a Jubilee year cycle; the Jews began returning into the land on that date of December 11th 1917 The rabbis teach that blood moons, "lunar eclipses" over Jerusalem are a sign used by God for the judgment of the nation of Israel. The rabbis also teach that solar eclipses over Jerusalem are sign for the judgments of the nations of the world. adapted from & without endorsements from, to, or for any of the given references.

Strange but true: If the 120 years generation of determined time is added to 1897 (year marking end of Daniel 1260 days and 1st Zionist Congress) we arrive at 2017. If the "Balfour Century" is added to the year of the Balfour Declaration and Jerusalem liberation from the Turk, 1917, we arrive at 2017. If the 70 year generation is added to the year of Palestine partion into Israel, we arrive at 2017. If we add one 50 year jubilee to date when Israel secure Jerusalem, 1967, we arrive at 2017. The Jew is God's time peace, are you ready? What are you doing about it? Some point to the purported prophesy of one "Rabbi" Judah Ben Samuel, that in year 2017 Messianic time starts. Prudence dictates such modern 'prophesy' should be compared to canonized scripture.
_____________________________________________________________________ Part B of Balfour declaration reads: " it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" For at the time of this declaration the majority of the population were decendents of the Philistines. A result of the Jewish Nation's failure to fulfil the mosaic commandment and sundry pograms against the Jewish nation from 70AD onward. "But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come about that those whom you let remain of them will become as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live. And as I plan to do to them, so I will do to you. Numbers 33:55-56 Judges 2 v3. Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you ... 20 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to my voice; 21 I also will not from now on drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 23 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. Judges 3:1 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israelis' had not known all the wars of Canaan; ---------------------------------------------------------------Now these are the nations ... - The nations left to prove the Israelites were the five lordships or satrapies of the Philistines, viz., Gath, Askelon, Ashdod, Ekron, and Gaza; the Sidonians, the Hivites of Lebanon, Baal-Hermon, etc.; with the remains of the Canaanites, viz., the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, and Jebusites. Those who were left to be proved were those Israelites that had not seen all the wars of Canaan. Verse 21 above does not in anyway deny the right of a co-current Jewish homeland in Palestine. Whilst v3 above fortells of modern failed Jehadist actions. ---------------
end from beginning version: They did not destroy the peoples, Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them, But they mingled with the Gentiles and learned their works; They served their idols, Which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. Thus they were defiled by their own works, and played the harlot by their own deeds. Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people, So that He abhorred His own inheritance. And He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, and those who hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand. Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry; and for their sake He remembered His covenant, And relented according to the multitude of His mercies. He also made them to be pitied by all those who carried them away captive. Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise the Lord! Psalm 106:34-48 (NKJV) From the above, are seen the roots of the modern conflict between Jew and Palestine peoples. Implementation of part B of Balfour's declaration without conflict is an unlikely and disdainful task. It is stated in scripture as a task better left to the conflicting parties. The times of the British mandate proved a bitter pill for British forces trying to impliment part B. The Bible declares, As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people Israel, I will uproot them from their lands if they learn well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, As surely as the LORD livesthen they will be established among my people. But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it, declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 12:14-17) Clearly the Lord has plans to uproot and destroy any nation that seizes the land He gave to the Jews as an inheritance. The question now remains, when? Isaiah 11:13-14: Ephraim (House of Israel/fullness of gentile nations who follow Jesus) will not be jealous of Judah (the Jews), nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim. They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia (modern day Gaza) to the west; together they will plunder the people to the east. They will subdue Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites (modern day Jordan) will be subject to them. According to Zechariah 12:9, He will deal harshly and severely with all nations who attack Jerusalem, On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem. Part (C) of Balfour Declaration, Jerusalem status Part (C) is in parens because there was no part (C) in Balfour's declaration. A part (C) was added under UN 181 in year 1947, creating a "Corpus separatum of Jerusalem (neither Jewish nor Arab)". Why a man of Abbas age would wish to hold Jerusalem as a philestine eternal capital is questionable. The last time philestines held the Ark of God they were struck with hemorrhoids. "God, however, repeatedly declares that the only way to resolve the contention over Jerusalem is the return of Jesus Christ to establish His just rule over it and all the earth: The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool." The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! . . . The Lord is at Your right hand; he shall execute kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill the places with dead bodies, he shall execute the heads of many countries. (Psalm 110:1-2, 5-6) O Zion, you who bring good tidings, get up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, you who bring good tidings, lift up your voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!" Behold the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. (Isaiah 40:9-10) "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah: In those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David a Branch of righteousness; He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. . . ." (Jeremiah 33:14-16) Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. . . The LORD also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the LORD will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel. So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, dwelling in Zion My holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy, and no aliens shall ever pass through her again. (Joel 3:14, 16-17) Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The LORD has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; you shall see disaster no more. In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The LORD your God is in your midst, the Mighty One, will save. . . ." (Zephaniah 3:14-17) "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. . . . It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem." . . . Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, and your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. . . . Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. . . . Thus the LORD my God will come. . . . And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. . . . The people shall dwell in [Jerusalem]; and no longer shall there be utter destruction, but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. (Zechariah 12:2, 9; 14:1-5, 9, 11)" _____________________________________________________________________ Below are links to this doc in both pdf format (0.5mb) and powerpoint. 3.5 mb http://sdrv.ms/RA9dw9 (the small file) http://sdrv.ms/RA9nDS (the large file).

Bible time spans for one "Generation"
The bible deals with various types of 'determined time' or lease time length or "life cycle" lengths. The length of time for a biblical generation can have various meanings. The meaning selected as pertaining to "The Balfour Century" is a 100 year time span. The hundred year time span was selected for this time line analysis as it relates to judgment and redemption. This and other time lengths relating to the term "generation" and "determined times" are reviewed below: The following two example timelines are given as examples of "determined time". The first deals with Daniel's Seventy Weeks. The second deals with fitting Daniel 70 weeks into "The Balfour Century" timeline. Due to issues with website software, better images may be downloaded by clicking the links.
Strange but true, If the 120 years generation of determined time is added to 1897 (year marking end of Daniel 1260 days and 1st Zionist Congress) we arrive at 2017. If the "Balfour Century" is added to the year of the Balfour Declaration and Jerusalem liberation from the Turk, 1917, we arrive at 2017. If the 70 year generation is added to the year of Palestine partion into Israel, we arrive at 2017. If we add one 50 year jubilee to date when Israel secure Jerusalem, 1967, we arrive at 2017. The Jew and Jerusalem are the time peace of God, are you ready? What are you doing about it? ========================================================== Part A Biblical Generation Timespan Review
____________________________________________________________ 1. The One Hundred (100) year generation time span ("The Balfour Generation") A hundred year time span is selected for "The Balfour Generation". This is because a100 year time span relates to Judgment and Deliverance. The Children of Israel were delivered out of Egyptian bondage and the nation of Egypt was judged to never again rise to world dominion. The pre-flood world was warned for100 years before judgment by flood and Noah's salvation in the Ark of God. The following verse from Genesis equates four hundred years to four generations. This equates to one generation being one hundred, 100 years, more or less. If one takes the Exodus account, a generation equates to 107.5 years. Genesis, chapter 15: "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 15 And you shall go to thy fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age. 16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. " (f2) Exodus 12:40-41 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out
from the land of Egypt. The 100 Year Generation of Noah (Noe) The scripture emphasize Noahs generation as a unique marker for the last generation. The generation of Noah was the last generation before Gods judgment upon earth by water. The next judgment is to be by fire. The importance of the Noah generation is noted two times in the gospels, and at least 3 times in the Epistles. Luke 17:26-27 (KJV) 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Also in Matthew 24:37 40, a near identical verse is given: Matthew 24:37-40 (KJV) 37. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. It would appear there are few restrictions to the verse so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. The first mention of Noah states: And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Later we are told: And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth {Genesis 5:32 & Genesis 7:6 (KJV) } This 100 year period could be referred to as a generation: Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. [Genesis 7.1 NIV] The start of Gods' 100 year warning is confirmed in this account: Genesis 6:10-14 (KJV) 10. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. In the same era Noah 'begat', are we told 'God looked upon the' violence and corruption of the earth and appointed Noah to warn of pending destruction as confirmed below: Hebrews 11:7 (KJV) "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith" 2 Peter 2:5-6 (KJV) "And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; " So it would appear that the correct generation time span when dealing with a judgment and redemption generation is 100 years. (The Balfour Century) Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. {1 Peter 3:20-21 (KJV)} Should it not be that the long suffering or ending generation time span is 100 years? Jesus said 'this generation' would not pass away. If the 100 year generation time span is correct, then population data should concur. This concurrence is reviewed below Notes on mortality tables from USA census data and other sources The following stats are provided to document the credibility of biblical concept of a century as length of a generation. American Census data show one in eight people are over age 65. The ratio of persons aged 95 and older to those over age 65 is about one percent. The implied ratio is only one in eight-hundred will live past 95. A further extrapolation is less than one in 8,000 will live past age 100. The exponential decrement factor is clearly shown when one considers that less than one in a million will age past 110 years of age. These stats give additional credence to the century concept of generation time span. Wiki lists less than 80 potentially verifiable living super centenarians (people who have attained the age of at least 110 years). Worldwide, the total numbers are extrapolated to be 300 450 living super centenarians. The wiki estimate of total world population by year 2020 is about 8,000 million or eight billion, and 7 billion in 2010. Genesis 6:3-4 (KJV) And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
People verified by wiki as having reached 120 years are put at one or two: Rank, Name, Sex, Birth date Death date Age (as of 18 July 2012) Country 1 Jeanne Calment F 21 February 1875 4 August 1997 122 years, 164 days France 2 Sarah Knauss F 24 September 1880 30 December 1999 119 years, 97 days USA ____________________________________________________ 2. The chronology of Jesus ancestors given in Luke and Matthew can be combined with various bible timelines. This will allow at least four (4) time span lengths for 1 generation. "Matthew 1:17 (KJV) So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations." Abraham to David time span by one timeline: Abraham = 1950BC & David = 1040BC, with difference of 910, so divide by 14 generations to get, 910/14, equals 65 years for one generation. David, 1040BC to Babylon, 525BC & difference is 475 years & divide by 14 is 37 years. Babylon, 525BC, and to Christ, 0, AD with difference 525 years & divide by 14 is 38 years The average of these 3 epochs is 47 years. Birth of Abraham about 1950 BC divide by 14 and by 3 (the total 14 epochs) or 42 gives 47 years. This chronology of Jesus ancestors generation-time-span ranges between 37 and 65 years. A similar result is obtained from the other gospel. ____________________________________________________________ 3. Another generation length is for the time of Israel's wilderness wandering under Moses. The Wilderness Generation "Perhaps the most widely held belief for the length of a generation is forty years. A 40-year period was required for the disobedient generation of Moses' day to die off in the wilderness. Those who hold to the forty-year generation concept do not take into account the total age of those who had sinned against the Lord. The curse was to be against the men who had reached twenty years of age (Num 32:11-13, Ps 95:8-11, Heb 3:7-11). After the 40-year judgment period was completed, there were no men left older than 60 years of age except Joshua and Caleb. Although Joshua was not a descendant of Moses or Aaron, he represented the succeeding generation that was to enter the "Promised Land." Joshua and Caleb were the only two males permitted to live after the Lord cursed the rebellious generation that would not return and retake their land in Canaan. So forty years could not have been the length of that generation, but it was the time God allotted for that generation to die off. Most of the recorded life spans during this time were well over 40 years. Aaron was 123, Moses 120, Joshua 110, and Caleb was over 85 when their generations died off." ________________________________________________________________________ 4. Length of mans age listed in Psalms, between 70 and 80 years. "Psalm 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off and we fly away." "Disregarding untimely or unnatural deaths due to epidemics, famine, and war, there is evidence in the Scriptures and in recent history to support a 70 to 80 year life span for the past 3000 years. The evidence for a 70 to 80 year life span was present during the 10th century B.C., during the reign of King David (c.1010-970). As David approached the end of his life, he was considered to be an old man by those living at that time. The Scriptures reveal that David served his generation and was seventy years old when he died (1 Chr 23:1; 2 Sam 5:4; 1 Kgs 2:10; Act 13:36)." Strange but true: 1947+70=2017, added for 70 year generation believers, but result same for 100 year generation and 1917 _______________________________________________________________ 5. The Genesis time span of 120 years is also a length of mans age, 120 years. "Genesis 6:3-4 (KJV) And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." Few people in the modern world live to this age.

_____________________________________________________________ Determined Time is a legal term, which is specified in leasing contracts. Determined Time for bible years deals with specified epochs or time intervals as determined by Almighty God for dealing with man in a fallen state. Simply said; 2,000 years from the beginning to Abraham and 2,000 years from Abraham to Christ and 2,000 years from Christ to the advent. Or two of a two-thousand-year long day for all covenants before Christ and one 2k year day for Christ's church time and on third two-thousandyear day are we raised up? A sum of 6,000 bible years? The completion of the creation week is the thousand years of peace or rest. A total of 7,000 bible years. Some of the scripture basis for these biblical epochs or ages are reviewed below. ___________________________________________________________________ Seven-Thousand Years of Determined Time Seven thousand years are the allowed biblical years for completion of God's dealing with sinful man upon earth. This 7000 years is shown by types in the creation story as seven days from start to end of the Holy Sabbath. God charged man to remember and keep the Sabbath Rest holy or separated throughout All Generations. This was to remind man of his allowed days; After this 7 days, time will end or be complete. 7000 Years "Determined Time" as typed by Capture of Jericho The capture of Jericho is again the telling that on the 7th day is the epoch of rest, with 6 days of determined time prior to the final trumpet. Josh. 6:2-5 And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given Jericho, its king and mighty men of valor, into your hands. You shall march around the enclosure, all the men of war going around the city once. This you shall do for "six days". And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns; and on the seventh day you shall march around the enclosure seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. When they make a long blast with the ram's horn and you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the enclosure shall fall down in its place and the people shall go up [over it], every man straight before him. Rev.8.2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets 10.7 But that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel is about to be sounded, then God's mystery (His secret design, His hidden purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets, should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed)... 11:15 The seventh angel then blew [his] trumpet, and there were mighty voices in heaven, shouting, The dominion (kingdom, sovereignty, rule) of the world has now come into the possession and become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (the Messiah), and He shall reign forever and ever! _______________________________________________________________ 6,000 bible years of Determined Time The six-thousand bible years of determined time are spelt out in the creation story of Genesis chapter 1. This
is by the rule of one day equals a thousand bible years. The seventh day of rest is the last thousand year day, after which the dimension of time ends. Determined Time is a legal term, which is specified in leasing contracts. In the earth lease case God Almighty declared the end from the beginning. Isaiah 46:10, "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come...."
This point was again reiterated in the days of Noah. Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." The word for "years" in this passage is the word "shabuum." Shabuum has several meanings in the Hebrew; one meaning is Jubilee years. Jubilee years are 7 weeks of years, which are 49 years, plus one more year, the 50Th year, termed the Year of Jubilee. If we took these 50 years periods and multiply by the 120 years given by God for mankind we would come up with 6000 bible years, which is the approximate bible age of the earth now. Moses could be considered as a type of Shabuum. For Moses lived exactly 120 years. He never passed over Jordan to the promised land. The passing over Jordan may be taken as a type of entering the rest of God or the last epoch of creation where God takes his rest. Moses lived his entire life on the six-thousand year labor side of creation, never to enter the Sabboth Day of Rest. ________________________________________________________________ The 6000 years of determined time as typed by Jesus Transfiguration The transfiguration of Jesus (Matt.17) happened on the 7th day or after six days. This again points to the 6 days of determined time and the 7th day revelation of Christ in his glorified state, with the old testament saints (Moses) and the new testament saints, (Elijah). Matthew 16.27 For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory (majesty, splendor) of His Father with His angels, and then He will render account and reward every man in accordance with what he has done. 28 Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in (into) His kingdom. 17.1 AND SIX (6) days after this, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And His appearance underwent a change in their presence; and His face shone clear and bright like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, who kept talking with Him. 4 Then Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good and delightful that we are here; if You approve, I will put up three booths here--one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah. 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud [ composed of light] overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, This is My Son, My Beloved, with Whom I am [and have always been] delighted. Listen to Him! Rev.1: 13-16 And in the midst of the lamp stands [One] like a Son of Man, clothed with a robe which reached to His feet and with a girdle of gold about His breast. His head and His hair were white like white wool, [as white] as snow, and His eyes [flashed] like a flame of fire. His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday. _____________________________________________________________ Six days or 6000 years typed in Jesus Anointing as Passover Lamb
John 12:1-3 So SIX days before the Passover Feast, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died and whom He had raised from the dead. So they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at the table with Him. Mary took a pound of ointment of pure liquid nard [a rare perfume] that was very expensive, and she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair. The passover is always a type of the rapture. The beginning from the end, where God said the serpent bruised the heal of the woman but the heal of the woman shall crush the serpent head. ______________________________________________________________________ The Four-day or two-2,000 year epochs before Christ as typed by Lazarus Resurrection Concerning raising Lazareth from the dead, some teachers see the 4000 bible years to Christ fore shadowed by Lazarus Resurrection. If one accepts to 6000 bible years years of determined time, then the difference is 2000 bible years of New Testament time. Now a certain [man] was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Then after that said he to [his] disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. [His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and go thou thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he see's the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead nevertheless let us go unto him... Then when Jesus came, he found that he had [lain] in the grave four days already Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: ... Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said unto him, Lord, by this time he stinkes: for he hath been [dead] four (4) days. ... Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, ..he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. ... Jesus said to them, Loose him, and let him go. John 11:1-44 (from the law of death) The 2 days when Jesus stayed stationary represent the 2000 years of creation before the Covenant of Abraham. The 2 days of Jesus stay in Judea represent the two thousand years under the Law written on tablets of stone. The rolling away the stone before Lazareth resurrection represent the removal of the Law by Christ resurrection. The Law was given in Tablets of Stone and kept in the lost ark of the covenant. If one accepts to 6000 bible years years of determined time, then the difference between 6000 and 4000 is 2000 bible years of New Testament time. ______________________________________________________________________ The three-days or 3,000 year Current Epoch Details on the three days epoch as described by scripture are given in this website as a complete topic. "Jesus answered and said unto them, De-stroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in (3) 'three days' ?" John 2:19-20 ______________________________________________________________________ The two-days or 2,000 year Church Epoch Lending credence to the Balfour Century concept is a teaching from Charles Capps of England, Arkansas. Capps takes the concept of "a day with the Lord is as a thousand years", and looks on certain scripture as meaning the church age is appointed as two thousand years. Psalm 90:4 (KJV) "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." And again in 2 Peter 3:8-10 (KJV) "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." These scripture give insight about the two-thousand year New Covenant duration: And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, (This is equivalent of 2 days; or 2,000 years! Here is a profile of 2,000 years for the age to follow!) and let them wash their clothes (Ex 19:10). This is just one of many other cryptic prophecies concerning two prophetic days. The Lord prophesied as follows, And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, (It is important to understand that one pence was one days wages!) and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, (This is prophetic of His return.) I will repay you (Luke 10:35). Here the Good Samaritan gave two days wages to the host. This is yet another indication that the Lord will return after 2,000 years! Jesus met the woman at the well; notice what follows, So when the Samaritans were come to him, they besought him that he would stay with them: and he stayed there two days (John 4:40). Here we find Jesus after He left Israel, abiding two days with the Samaritans. This two-day lodging is a prophetic period symbolic of a 2,000-year season! In this context, the Samaritans (Those rejected by the Jews!) were symbolic of the church! Going back to Exodus 19, lets notice what happens after two prophetic
days, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai (Ex 19:11). How will the rapture take place? Paul writes, Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: (in Greek, this specific word for air means from ground level to the top of a mountain) and so shall we ever be with the Lord (1 Thess 4:17). At the very first Pentecost or 50 days after the children of Israel left Egypt, they met at the foot of a mountain on the third day after they were consecrated, and the Lord came down in the sight of the people after two days, be ready for the third day: for on the third day the LORD will come down (Ex 19:11)! Ecclesiastes 6:6 (KJV) "Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?" And Hosea 6:2 (KJV), "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." Commonly applied as prophesy relating to the Lord's resurrection but could also relate toward the Second Advent or rapture. That two thousand years are appointed for the church age and in the beginning of the third day, as was with the Lords' resurrection, so also shall it be with the church's calling away. _____________________________________________________________ One-Thousand Years Determined Time - Sabbath Rest The last thousand years of 7,000 years determined time is reserved for the rest day, as typed in Genesis. 1. The last day of determined time may be understood by subtraction of 7 days total less 6 days or by scripture. For Revelation 20 says: And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: ... and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: ... And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. ... And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. Some say that Luke 2:42-46 signify that from the start of the messianic age to the end of all time is three onethousand years days. Comprised of 2,000 years of church age and one thousand years of rest. After which Christ shall be found in His temple. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Daniel's Determined Times fitted into the Seven Days of Total Time The exception is 3.5 years or the last half-week of Daniel's 70 weeks of determined time. The last half week is taken as part of Messianic time and completed after the thousand years of peace. The total determined time remains seven thousand years. A review of Daniel determined time is given below. The reasoning to place the last half week of Daniel 70 weeks after the last thousand year epoch is because Daniel 9:24 states " Seventy weeks are determined ... to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy...". Simply stated is 70 weeks is the completion of time. The book of Revelation places this end after the last Gog-Magog battle, after which is a new heaven and earth, the former things are passed away and "everlasting righteousness" begins. And he swore by him who lives to the eternity of eternities, him who created Heaven and that which is in it, and The Earth, and that which is in it: Time shall be no more. Rev 10:6 The basis for 'The Balfour Century' timeline creation is the start of the 2,000 years of New Covenant time as determined by the birth of Jesus and his anointing as Christ. Using this starting epoch, all others may be placed based on determined time. The last half week of Daniel 70 weeks is placed after the Sabbath rest of 1 thousand years and allocated to the church age. "And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season"
From A.B. Simpson, "The Comming One" 1912, CWMA, NYC, pages 70-72 "DELIVERANCE BEGUN: God has begun these two stages of His work in the restoration of Israel. During the past two centuries every country in Europe has adopted measures leading to the enfranchisement of the Jew, except Russia and Turkey. In 1844 theTurkish empire was compelled to sign a decree for Jews and Christians and all others to enjoy religious liberty and a little later the right to own property in their land. This was just 2,300 years after the decree of Artaxerxes in 457 B.C., the initial point of Daniel's prophecy,and thus a marked fulfilment of that prophecy. ZIONISM. But in 1897 a most extraordinary movement was launched Zionism and ever since that society has been growing in numbers and influence. Max Nordau in addressing the delegates of the congress where Zionism was formed, said, "It seemed as if we were witnessing a miracle." The most extraordinary thing about this great event was that it corresponded exactly with another of Daniel's prophecies. God had said in Daniel 7:8, the scattering of the Jewish people should cease after 1,260 years. Then they were to begin to unite and gather home. In the year 637A.D., Omar, the victorious general of Mohammed, captured the city of Jerusalem. From that time the Turk has been in dominion. As he entered the old city Bishop Sophronius with tears and sobs, cried, "The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, is set up." And sure enough it was. On the site of the temple of Solomon a mosque was reared for Mohammedan worship. Ever since Jerusalem has been trodden down by the Moslem and the holy people scattered and crushed under his iron heel. From 637AD (add) 1,260 years (Daniel's time, times, and half a time) to reach the year 1897. And that was the year when the Zionist conference founded the great society whose watchword ever since has been, The Jew must be restored and Israel must again become a nation." Strange but true: If the 120 years generation of determined time is added to 1897 (year marking end of Daniel 1260 days and 1st Zionist Congress) we arrive at 2017. If the "Balfour Century" is added to the year of the Balfour Declaration and Jerusalem liberation from the Turk, 1917, we arrive at 2017. If the 70 year generation is added to the year of Palestine partion into Israel, we arrive at 2017. If we add one 50 year jubilee to date when Israel secure Jerusalem, 1967, we arrive at 2017.

Jonah (3rd day time termination) Resurection, Rapture, and End
Jonah , "The Time Terminator", or the Third (3rd) Day Warning. The Sign of Jonah is perhaps an important parallel to the current era. Firstly Jesus said : a wicked and morally unfaithful generation seeks a sign. But no sign will be given but the sign of Jonah. What was the sign of Jonah? It was the sign of Christ For even as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. So it is likely that as with Jesus resurrection on the 3rd day, he says no greater sign will be given than the fact that on the 3rd day or 3rd millennia from Christ advent will be "termination of time". Again this is a sign of redemption (Nineveh) and judgment (wicked generation). The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, Someone more and greater than Jonah is here!
The Holy Spirit has presented Christ since his resurrection yet mankind have generally rejected him for nearly 2 millennia. Why is this saying so apt? Jesus speaking on the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, declared that if people will not believe on the word, then neither would they be convinced by signs: Abraham says; But he answered, No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent ( change their minds for the better and heartily amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins). He said to him, If they do not hear and listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded and convinced and believe [even] if someone should rise from the dead . Did Jesus not arise from the dead as a sign to the end time generation? A wicked and morally unfaithful generation craves a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. Then He left them and went away. (where did he go? and just as he was resurrected, so shall he appear in the clouds ) The sign of the resurrection on the 3rd day was the sign of Prophet Jonah that is given as a warning to the wicked generation. The sign of Jonah is that after three bible days (of one thousand years each) from Messiah will be Time Termination: Finality, Finish, Full Stop, Everlasting Righteousness, Time no more, For Ever and Ever. Three bible days to eternity were emphatically stated by Jesus: Yeshua answered and said to them: Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. For Some say that Luke 2:42-46, "Then, after three days they found Him in the temple" signify that from the start of the messianic age to the end of all time is three one-thousand year days. Comprised of 2,000 years of church age and one thousand years of rest. After which, Christ shall be found in His temple. < Revelation 10:6 > "And he swore by him who lives to the eternity of eternities, him who created Heaven and that which is in it, and The Earth, and that which is in it: Time shall be no more. " And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai (Ex 19:11). The third day from Christ advent is nearly here. So, Where will you spend eternity? Do you know the sin purging and forgiving, blood of Jesus? If not, why not?
Jonah (3rd day time termination) Resurection, Rapture, and End
What will you do about Jesus offer of eternal life? Stand up for Jesus and your good eternity NOW! is your acceptable day of Salvation! Notes on Time Abolition Theory
- NOW
Time is generally based on rotation of earth around sun or by decay rates. Cessation of these functions begin where time ends. Righteous Eternity begins and ends with Jesus. The sun will no longer be your light during the day, nor will the brightness of the moon give you light, But the LORD will be your everlasting light. Your God will be your glory. Your sun will no longer go down, nor will your moon disappear. The LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sadness will be over. Then all your people will be righteous, and they will possess the land permanently. .. <Isaiah 60:19-21> and also: The sun and the moon stand still. They scatter at the light of your arrows, at the bright lightning of your spear < Habakkuk 3:11> or again; I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and earth had disappeared, and the sea was gone. Then I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, I heard a loud voice from the throne say, "God lives with man! God will make his home with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There won't be any more death. <(decay or entrophy ended)> There won't be any grief, crying, or pain, because the first things have disappeared. The one sitting on the throne said, "I am making everything new." He said, "Write this: 'These words are faithful and true.'" He said to me, "It has happened! I am the A and the Z, the beginning and the end. <Revelation 21 :16> So as time master He can bring time forward, backward, or abolish time entirely. When everlasting righteousness and eternity begin, shall not time end? On the day the LORD gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the LORD in front of all the people of Israel. He said, Let the sun stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Aijalon. So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies. ... The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day. There has never been a day like this one before or since, when the LORD answered such a prayer. <Joshua 10 :12-14> and again written ; Isaiah replied, This is the sign from the LORD to prove that he will do as he promised. Would you like the shadow on the sundial to go forward ten steps or backward ten steps? The shadow always moves forward, Hezekiah replied, so that would be easy. Make it go ten steps backward instead. So Isaiah the prophet asked the LORD to do this, and he caused the shadow to move ten steps backward on the sundial of Ahaz < 2 Kings 20:9-11> Please use the comments section, if you have information to be included for this section. Keep looking up! Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding ... They are not just idle words for you--they are your life. .. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple... The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding... Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me... The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. .. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
Sir Issac Newton & End Time Chronolgy Daniel Revelation
When, at some future time, you see a major world power give occasion to the return of the Jews to their land, write by that date, 1260. All subsequent events and times will be pivotal to that occasion. Newton wrote over a million words of commentary on the books of Daniel and Revelation. They were released in reprint only in the past few years. He thought God had given us a way to see His "End Time" timetable. Newton thought the Second Coming of Jesus would be the start of a Jubilee year. The keeping of when these fifty year cycles called Jubilee years is to take place has been lost in time. They start after a count of 49 years on a Jewish Holiday, the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. That 50th year called a Jubilee Year would be a time of returning land to the original owners and freeing of slaves. Newton was a devout believer in Christ and Bible scholar, fluent in ancient languages, and who translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek. He was unusually drawn to the prophet Daniel, which he began studying at age 12 and continued until he died at age 85. In fact, The Columbia History of the World, a secular history book, remarks, "At the end of his days he spent more time studying and writing about the prophecies in the Book of Daniel than he did in charting the heavens." Apparently, God Himself put in Newton's heart this burning desire to study Daniel, then gave him the key to the timing of Christ's return. Newton's understanding of one key passage in Daniel chapter 9 is fundamentally different from that of most common interpretations. In about 550 B.C., God gave the prophet Daniel a view of history to the end. From Daniel 9:25, scholars usually add the "seven weeks (of years, or 49 years) and 62 weeks (434 years)" to get 483 years and calculate the time of Messiah's First Coming. However, Newton says there is no linguistic basis for adding those two numbers (49 and 434), and to do so is "doing violence to the language of Daniel." Newton says the two numbers separately speak of both the First and Second Coming, both being counted from the "going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem." Some commentators agree. Newton says the "62 weeks," or 434-year part was fulfilled at the First Coming, and the "seven weeks," or 49-year part will apply to the Second Coming. And three centuries ago he saw in the Scriptures and wrote about the rebirth of Israel at a time when such a thought was preposterous. Amazingly by faith and understanding of the Scriptures, he foresaw a "friendly kingdom" someday again issuing the "commandment to restore and build Jerusalem." Now, centuries later, that "friendly kingdom" may have been the United Nations, which decreed Israel's rebirth in November, 1947, causing Israel to be reborn in May, 1948 The Lord revealed to Newton, that Jesus would return 49 years from the date that Israel once again has control of Jerusalem ( This occurred on June 7, 1967 when the Temple Mount was recaptured ). Newton was also shown that the Second Coming of Jesus would be at the start of a Jubilee year on the Day of Atonement! ...if you use exactly 49 Jewish (360-day, prophetic) years from the day Israel captured the Temple Mount on June 7, 1967, you get 49 X 360 = 17640 days, which amazingly takes one exactly to September 23, 2015, The Day of Atonement 2015 and is the start of a new Jubilee year! _______________________________________________________________________ Isaac Newton, a faithful and zealous student of the Scriptures, as well as the man who discovered the law of gravity, the laws of motion, and laws of optics, in 1697 gave a lecture at Cambridge which was published by the title The Observations on Apocalypse of the Prophet Daniel and Saint John. In the tenth and twelfth chapters of Daniel, he discusses the last days, the coming of the Messiah, and the world events that transpire to bring about Israel's final glory. In this context, three periods of days are revealed to Daniel -- 1260, 1290, and 1335. Newton referred to them as the days of 1260, the days of 1290, and the days of 1335. According to Isaac Newton, the days of 1260 refer to a time when a world kingdom or power would give occasion to bring about the return of the Jews to their promised land. Newton wrote: When, at some future time, you see a major world power give occasion to the return of the Jews to their land, write by that date, 1260. All subsequent events and times will be pivotal to that occasion. If we use this approach, it was on November 3, 1917, when the world's most prominent power of that time, the British Empire, issued the Balfour Declaration, permitting the Jews to go home to their original home-land in Judea. This was shortly after British General Allenby defeated the Turks in the Middle East and conquered Jerusalem, putting an end to the world's longest surviving empire of that time -- the Ottoman Empire of
Sir Issac Newton & End Time Chronolgy Daniel Revelation
Turkey. However, the crisis of World War II prompted many more Jews to flee and emigrate to Palestine, and the new British leadership was negative to Jewish immigration. Nevertheless, 30 years after the Balfour Declaration, in 1947-48, the United Nations passed a resolution establishing a Jewish homeland or nation in Palestine -- and in May 1948 Israel once again became a literal nation, although it was forced to defend its newfound frontiers from massed Arab armies which immediately attacked on all fronts! If 1917 was the termination of 1260 years, then the 1290 years would have been 30 years later -- the year 194748! That is the year when the United Nations voted to establish the state of Israel in the Middle East, and Israel fought off Arab invasion and became a nation! This would mean that the 1335 years would be an additional 45 years later -- or 1992-93! That was the year of the beginning of the Oslo Peace Accords, with their signing at the White House by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat!

Ezekiel 38 warnings & 'The Balfour Century'
The hook is set in Russian's jaw. When Israel gas hits European markets, Gasprom income will decline big time. Russian Economy cannot suffer the revenue and market loss. Review USA pre-shale gas price and the ensuing price decline. The gas price dropped by 2/3 when shale gas came online. A similar event will happen in the Euro market when Israel gas hits.
"This report is basically saying that Russian's most productive oil fields are in decline or very close to running in decline, and without the necessary investment, they will continue to decline. With this said, many see little hope of raising the capital for such a massive upgrade project. It would be comparable to upgrading a gold mine that is widely believed to be over mined. The investment simply would not pay-off in the long-term. At the same time, Russia has no new oil fields of significance in development for the foreseeable future.
This is a major problem for likely returning president Vladimir Putin. As stated in the article, oil and gas industry profits accounted for almost 50 percent of the states income in 2011. It has also been a major source of bailout funds. So why is this report of prophetic significance in this late hour? The Bible says in Ezekiel 38:2-4: Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. At some future point, a war known as the Battle of Gog and Magog will come to life before our eyes. It will start over a spoil Israel possesses that Russia must have. This passage states that whatever this great possession is, it will grab Russia's attention as if they have hooks in their mouth unable to look away. The draw of this possession will be so great they will align with Israel's Islamic enemies and come down upon Israel like a great storm (v. 9). I believe this great possession will be a number of mammoth oil and gas discoveries. As many of you know, Israel has recently discovered multiple very large oil and gas deposits, including a shale oil deposit estimated at 250 billion proven barrels of oil. And I believe their biggest discoveries are still yet future. With Russia's oil and gas fields in decline with no significant discoveries in the foreseeable future, could Israel's new found discoveries be the future spoils Russian President Vladimir Putin desires? Will he take advantage of the Islamic world's hatred toward Israel to once and for all destroy them and take possession of their new found abundant natural resources? Whether it will be oil, gas or some other spoil, the Bible says they will. That day is coming! Today, all the participating nations are aligned and ready. Are you ready to meet the Lord? If not your time is running out!" _______________________________________________________________________________ Damascus Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. (Jewish Sages say this will occur before the third temple is to be in place so this will have to occur before the Lords return to earth )
_______________________________________________________________________________ There are other indications about the end of "The Balfour Century": "In Matthew24:3 Jesus was asked, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?" Jesus told his apostles to look for the following signs prior to his second coming and the end of the age. _______________________________________________________________________________ 1. FALSE PROPHETS AND CHRISTS Matthew 24:5 "For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and will mislead many." Matthew 24:11 "And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many." In the last several years many have claimed to be the Messiah. Jim Jones and David Koresh are examples of these false christs as well as countless others who are not as newsworthy. These false prophets are a prelude to the ultimate false christ, the antichrist. Many New Age groups, some even NGO's working for the United Nations, are anxiously awaiting the antichrist, preparing the way for his acceptance as the head of the hierarchy of gods and the one who will usher in world peace. 2. WARS Matthew 24:6 "And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end." Rumors of wars in all areas of the world now occur frequently thanks to instant media coverage and the availability of a multitude of 24-hour news sources. Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes." More people have been killed in warfare in this century than at any other time in history. As the death toll rises in the Middle East, more and more countries work feverishly to develop devastating weapons of mass destruction. Add to that the expanding threat of terrorism and unpredictable dictators such as Saddam Hussein, and the potential for the outbreak of war exists in nations, kingdoms and places across the globe. 3. FAMINES Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes." As white, Christian farmers are driven out of Zimbabwe in increasing numbers, and foreigners move in to replace life-sustaining crops with poppies that now supply 25% of the worlds drugs, famine spreads across the African continent. The undernourished are not limited to Africa, however. A large portion of the worlds 5 billion people suffers from a shortage of food.
4. EARTHQUAKES Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes." The number and intensity of earthquakes this century is at a level higher than any other time in history. A staggering number of seismic events occur around the world daily. The earthquake seismic monitor IRIS shows all major earthquakes for the last year. Indicated by yellow and red circles, the seismic events of the last 15 days provides strong evidence of the fulfillment of Matthew 24:7 in our day. By contrast, in the years from 1890 to 1900 there was only one major earthquake in the world. 5. TRIBULATIONS Matthew 24:8-9 "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name." Christians are under attack throughout the world today. In the United States Christians still enjoy freedom to worship God without suffering much more than ridicule, hatred, or discrimination at work and school. However in many other countries such as China, Sudan, Africa, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Russia, and many Muslim nations, Christian suffer much greater persecution and often times death for their faith. During the tribulation this suffering will be worldwide and will continue even to the point of martyrdom. These first 5 signs will increase in intensity and severity as the tribulation approaches, much like the birth pangs or contractions of a pregnant woman worsen as the delivery time approaches. 6. THE GOSPEL WILL BE PREACHED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come." This prophecy has already been fulfilled through television, radio, missionaries, the translation of the Bible into many languages, and the internet. People all over the world now hear the message of Christ from missionaries who have the means to travel the globe, and via technology that allows us to communicate with people on the other side of the world right from our own homes, churches and offices. ______________________________________________________________________________ TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF THE END OF THE AGE FROM THE APOSTLE PAUL 1. GODLESSNESS IN THE LAST DAYS II Timothy 3:1-5,7 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." For anyone who has watched television, read a newspaper, lost a retirement to corporate greed and corruption, or just walked outside their front door, it is obvious this prophecy has been fulfilled by our generation. Our leaders are often corrupt; our cities are filled with crime, brutality, and neon signs proclaiming our sinful, godless nature. The New Age Movement brings in increasing numbers of mystics who claim to be the enlightened ones. They are some of the most educated and influential people in our societies, and yet the most lacking in real truth. 2. APOSTASY (FALLING AWAY FROM THE FAITH) I Timothy 4:1-3 "But the spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. By means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth." Churches today are becoming more and more ecumenical, embracing the New Age interfaith agenda, and denying Christ as the only way to salvation.
Giving in to the politically correct media and a corrupt society, they have embrace homosexuality as an acceptable alternate lifestyle and preach tolerance and compromise in place of God's truth for the salvation of the world. The environmentalist movement within the New Age movement lures them into a worship of mother earth, belief in past lives, reincarnation, and Karma while demonizing all those who would eat the meat God gave us as nourishment for our bodies. ______________________________________________________________________________ ELEVEN FULFILLMENTS OF BIBLE PROPHECY REQUIRED FOR THE END OF THE AGE 1. EXISTENCE OF A 200,000,000 MAN ARMY IN THE EAST Revelation 9:16 "And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them." An army of that size had never existed until China's army reached that number in the 1960's. 2. REDEVELOPMENT OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (EUROPEAN COMMUNITY) Daniel 2:32-33 "The head of the statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay." Daniel 2:40-43 "Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces. And in that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have the toughness of iron, and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle. And in that you saw the iron mixed with clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery." The fourth kingdom of iron is the Roman empire according to Daniel's interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The two legs are the division of the Roman empire into an eastern portion called the Byzantine empire which ended in the 1400's and a western portion based in Rome which ended in the 400's. The nations of Europe since the Roman empire dissolved have never adhered or formed one empire but continue as separate nations, however, the European Union now has 15 Member States and is preparing for the accession of 13 eastern and southern European countries. 3. RETURN OF THE ONE PURE LANGUAGE, HEBREW, TO ISRAEL Zephaniah 3:9 "For then I will return to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent." Prior to the restoration of Israel in 1948, Hebrew was a dead language. Now Hebrew is spoken throughout Israel. 4. REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE, RESTORATION OF TEMPLE WORSHIP AND ANIMAL SACRIFICES IN JERUSALEM For several end time prophecies to be fulfilled, the temple will have to be rebuilt. Revelation 11:2 "Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the oly city for forty-two months." Daniel 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolation, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate." Daniel 9:26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary." Some archeologists believe that the temple mount is actually 340 feet south of the Dome of the Rock site, putting the Dome of the Rock within the Court of
the Gentiles. This may be the court outside the temple that is left out. There are many groups already working on preparations for the new temple. The blueprints are already done, the temple garments have been made, and there have already been attempts to lay the cornerstone of the temple. The only thing standing in the way of the construction of the new temple is Islam's third holiest site, the Dome of the Rock and government support for such an undertaking. Some possible scenarios for the rebuilding of the temple are as follows: 1. The persuasion and performing of miracles by the Antichrist and False Prophet convinces the Islamic world to approve the rebuilding. 2. The United Nations will negotiate the rebuilding of the temple following a war with the armies from the North (Russia and Islamic forces). This assumes that the war with the armies from the North is not the battle of Armageddon as some feel and that this attack occurs before the rapture or tribulation period begins. The supernatural destruction of the Russian army and Islamic forces will cause an outpouring of Christian worship and zeal amongst the Jewish people who will reconstruct the temple. 3. It is determined that the site of the first two temples is actually south of the Dome of the Rock, and the court of the gentiles (Dome of the Rock) will be left out of the 3rd temple. A group in Israel called the Temple Mount Faithful have obtained most of the clothing, instruments and other equipment required for temple worship and are actively preparing for the laying of the third temple's cornerstone. 5. APPEARANCE OF THE RED HEIFER AFTER 2000 YEARS Numbers 19:2-7 "This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed. "You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and it shall be brought outside the camp and be slaughtered in his presence. Next Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle some of its blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times. "Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight; its hide and its flesh and its blood, with its refuse, shall be burned. "The priest shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the camp, but the priest shall be unclean until evening." A red heifer will be required to be used in the process of purification described in the book of Numbers. In May 1997 the first Red Heifer was born in 2000 years. Another red Heifer was born in Israel in March of 2002. 6. INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE AND TRAVEL Daniel 12:4 "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." Billy Graham was quoted as saying, "ninety percent of all the engineers and scientists who have ever lived are alive today." Air travel, space travel, DNA research and human cloning are all examples of the rapid increase in knowledge in our generation. 7. RETURN OF THE ETHIOPIAN JEWS TO ISRAEL Zephaniah 3:10-11 "From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, My dispersed ones, will bring My offerings. In that day you will feel no shame because of all your deeds by which you have rebelled against Me; For then I will remove from your midst your proud, exulting ones, and you will never again
be haughty on My holy mountain." In 1984, Operation Moses saw the airlift of 15,000 Jews who had already fled to refugee camps in Sudan to escape starvation. In 1991, Operation Solomon flew 20,000 Jews to Israel from Ethiopia itself. A further airlift began in June of 1999, aimed at transporting the last 3,000 members of the Quara Jewish community from northeastern Ethiopia to Israel. 8. THE RISE OF RUSSIA Ezekiel 38:2,4,8 Discussed at top; In order for some end time events to occur Russia will have to be a strong nation with a strong military. 9. RETURN OF RUSSIAN JEWS TO ISRAEL Jeremiah 23:7-8 "Therefore behold, the days are coming declares the Lord, when they will no longer say, as the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, but as the Lord lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel from the north land and from all the countries where I have driven them. Then they will live on their own soil." In the 1970's and 1980's there was a mass exodus of Russian Jews out of Communist Russia. In 1999 the Associated Press reported a dramatic increase in the number of Jewish immigrants from Russia, bringing the largest number of Russian Jews to Israel since the early 1990's. 10. TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MARK OF THE BEAST Revelation 13:16-17 "And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name." On May 10, three members of a family in Florida became the first people to receive the biochip implant. Each device, made of silicon and called a VeriChip, is a small radio transmitter about the size of a piece of rice that is injected under a person's skin. It transmits a unique personal ID number whenever it is within a few feet of a special receiver unit. VeriChip's maker describes it as "a miniaturized, implantable, radio frequency identification device (RFID) that can be used in a variety of security, emergency and healthcare applications." Is the biochip the mark of the beast to be used by the antichrist? We can't really know. What is significant is that people are being softened to the idea of a mark or an implant as a means of maintaining security, providing medical information, and regulating a more interdependent world. As attitudes change, fears subside, and people are convinced of the need for such a mark, the true mark of the beast will be easily introduced to the world by the antichrist. 11. PLANS FOR THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT The United Nations, World Trade Organization, International Criminal Court, UN peacekeeping/police force, numerous UN NGO's, and other agencies are preliminary steps to the formation of a one world government. We now have the communications technology, transportation, and the pro-globalization media necessary to usher in the one world government headed by the antichrist. The increasing terrorist threat and the middle east conflict will only speed up the formation of this governing body as fear and promises of better security make more people willing to give up their national sovereignty for global governance. 12. INSTANT COMMUNICATION AROUND THE WORLD Revelation 11:3, 7-10 "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophecy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth." Television and the 24-hour news networks make it possible for people around the world to see the dead prophets and rejoice at their deaths.
Luke 21:28 "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." Luke 21:32 "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place." A wicked and morally unfaithful generation BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear]. For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane; without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good; treacherous [betrayers], rash, inflated with selfconceit; lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God. For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. 2Tim. 3:1-5 The sign of Jonah also implies that if men forsake wickedness, God will relent of judgment as seen in Nineveh. The condition of men can possibly affect event timing as in Gen.15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. The sign of Noah implies there is a point of no return to judgment: Gen.6:5,12&13 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination and intention of all human thinking was only evil continually.. And God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased, and vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth and lost their true direction. God said to Noah, I intend to make an end of all flesh, for through men the land is filled with violence; and behold, I will destroy them and the land.

Before comment, kindly consider this from ABS, The Coming One, page 31: "The parable of the Tares represents the planting of error in the Church, the heresies, cor-ruptions and interminglings of evil men in the early Church as well as later times. Even the little that grew got mixed with Satan's seed. The disciples thought they could pull up the tares, but He said that in pulling up the tares they would pull up the wheat also. The people that are in the business of judging are not in the Lord's employ. "Let both grow together till harvest." Dreams of a perfect Church are doomed to be disappointed. The devil worked while the Church was asleep, a work, alas, which we can ill eradicate by our discipline or denunciation, but must wait harvest time for much of it to be burned out at that great time. Henceforth, the visible Church is a mixture of truth and error, good and evil."
It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, ... But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. .. Philippians 1:15-18 (NIV) Perhaps, much better would be Christ progress were todays inquisitors busy about advancing the good news, as compared to teething on others' faith. For does any one group or individual really have perfect truth? But some day what we know in part shall be perfected; for now we see dimly, but then we shall see clearly..

Febuary Griffith Bailey Family History
At (1) 5 am of April 27, 1801 in St. Jean D'Angley, France, Dominique Fevrier was born to Etienne Fevrier and Lamorie Faineau. The confirmation of the child was performed by the father of the child, Etienne Fevrier on the same day at 13:14 hours in the evening. About the 5th day of March 1818 came (2) Alexander Febuary from France and in 1826 he was known to be living in Raleigh NC. After ADF came to the USA he became acquainted with one Andrew Johnson (3) by way of the tailor's trade (4) in Raleigh NC. What little is known about the years between 1818 and 1826 can only be guessed from a biography (3) of the Honorable President Andrew Johnson and other inferences made thereof. Andrew J. had broken his apprentice bond on June 15 of 1824 and traveled to various places along the Tennessee River later to return back to Raleigh NC for his mother and step-father. Several facts indicate that ADF remained in Raleigh NC until fall of 1826:

A) The bounty notice published after AJ breaking his apprenticeship in 1824. B) the biography of AJ only mentions ADF crossing the Blue Ridge once and that in 1826. C) ADF references himself crossing as a Journeyman tailor which in most instances indicates completion of ones apprenticeship. D) The general term of an apprentice is either 7 years or until age 21, from which the above dates would indicate ADF could have satisfied by the fall of 1826. This assumes ADF began his apprenticeship soon after arriving in the USA.
For additional details on this, a brief chronology of AJ is included in Appendix 1. In the letter (4) from ADF to AJ dated Oct. 6, 1868, ADF reminded AJ about their experiences in crossing the Blue Ridge mountains in 1826. It was then, a panther came into the camp and knocked the skillet off the fire and of the time when on top of the Blue Ridge, AJ snapped his shotgun so often at a bear. It mentioned two sons of ADF who died for the Union, one at Chicamauga and another at Knoxville from disease contracted on the Perryville Ky. campaign. A 3rd son, Lt. Joseph A. (9/13/1845 - 4/17/1915), was mentioned who accompanied AJ in his speeches to the Union troops in east Tennessee, presumably around 1863/4. And after this small reminder, requested some position for either himself or JAF to better care for his family and himself in old age, mentioning that he suspected some inheritance may come from his father's estate in France. ADF passed away from a cholera epidemic on (5) "24 July 1873 at the age of 72 years, 2 months, and 27 days to await in the spirit world, the glorious resurrection after the second coming of our Master, the Lord Jesus Christ." President Johnson came to his friend's aid and gave ADF a position in the tailor shop in Jonesboro, Tenn. And it is presumed that some inheritance came from France. For in Jonesboro he purchased an 18 room home on what became known as Febuary Hill, from the Hon. John Blair, Congressman for first district of Tenn. The last Febuary's to occupy the house were Dr. L.W. Febuary ( Feb. 3 1877 - 3/14/1932) and his sister Lilly Bell Feb. (07/11/1871 - 01/23/1968). Both of who were descendants of ADF's second wife, Maria Sneyd (also given as Sneed b.8/20/1824 Bilston Staffordshire England, m.3/26/1844, d.4/11/1911) (5). The home was sold by LBF to Dr. B. Dorsett on 2/1/1961 and gave the house antiques to: Becky Poteat Simms, other special friends, and the Jonesboro Female Academy of the local Presbyterian church where she was an organ player until the declining health of old age set in. Febuary and Williams About this side of the Febuary family, the first wife of ADF was Sarah Williams, b.180?. The marriage being listed in Washington Tenn. on Dec. 26, 1827 and to this union were born: Mordica W or Frank. (~1835 or 34 - 1863/4 &m Sarah Ann Baker July 10 1856 later to remarry John Hannum with son & daughter Jinnie by second marriage), George (~1831 - &m Elizabeth Wilson on Nov. 2 1856), Julie (1830 - &m. Issac Hart on July 11, 1852), and Elizabeth (~1837 - ? & m. William S. Meridith on Aug. 31, 1856). All marriages recorded as Carter Co. Tenn. The exact date of Sarah Williams death is uncertain, but the date of ADFs marriage Maria Sneyd is given as March 26, 1844, with no mention of any divorce or other claims against the second marriage. Hence the presumed death of SWF is sometime before 1844. Sarah Williams was the daughter of Elizabeth Stover and Mordecai Williams, married 29 April 1803 in Carter (county)Tenn. Mord Williams being listed as a grandson of Mordecai Lincoln, uncle of Abraham Lincoln, late president, see Appendix 1 Febuary and Baker Mordicia Frank Sr. February married Sarah Jane Baker at Limestone Cove, Tenn. April 7, 1856. MFF meeting his demise during the Civil War. And to this union were born: William Alexander, (5/23/1858), Isaac C. (1859 & m. Nancy Church on 4/25/1895 in Elizabethton Carter Co. Tenn.), andMordicia Frank Jr. on (8/4/1861 & m. Nancy Cordilia Randolph in Erwin Tenn. about. 1884 & d. 12/7/1943 in Banner Elk Avery NC). Febuary and Renfro William Alexander Feb. and Margaret C. Renfro eloped and were married at Crab Orchard of Carter county Tenn. December 24, 1883 by the Rev. Samuel Hyder. Margaret C. Renfro (b.7/2/1864) was the only child of Capt. Geo. Renfro and Martha Lucy Leonard, m.1/1/1862 Knoxville, Tenn. Captain Renfro was presumed to have been killed at the Battle of the Wilderness near the Civil War end. The only remains found of Capt. Renfro was his burned pistol near a burned over skeleton after the large fire following that terrible battle. MCR was daughter of Dr.
Obediah Leonard and Ester Lacey (b. 1825? m.1841 Carter Co. Tenn.). Princeton University of Princeton NJ was established with assistance by Judge Leonard, see appendix. MCR Feb. passed away on 7/12/1906 and is buried at Roan Mt. Tenn. To the union of WAF & MCR was born George Washington., 3/24/1885 -9/17/1885, Charles Obediah, 6/7/1886, Flossie May, (b.7/24/1889, & m.12/24/1907 Frank C. Potter) Biddeth Elizabeth, (12/16/1890 & m.2/14/1911 Louis A. Gordon), Blanch Jennie, (8/25/1892 & m.5/10/1911 Neil Delos Ames), Nannette Esther, (7/16/1894 m. 1/10/1914 F. Conway Griffith), Waitsel Stewart, 3/15/1896 & m.5/27/1924 to Emma Cox &d.11/15/1966), James Gurney, (on Jan. 5, 1898, the eighth of 11 children, d. 1954), John Leonard,(7/20/1900 & m.9/16/1922 to Edith Davis in Aberdeen SD), Frank Leon, (10/20/1903 & m. 2/12/1941 to Grace C. Fair & d. Mar. 1968), and Rachael Maude, (10/20/1903 - 2/4/1984 &m. Robt. Boeker d. 1/29/1968) Febuary and Griffith James Gurney married Celesta Griffith at Huntsdale NC on Feb. of 1921. The children were: Edna, Evelyn, Louise, Mary Elizabeth, my mother, Jacqueline Rachelle Febuary (b.1935 the 5th of 6 children), and Joseph. JGF served with the US Army in France during WW1 and by accounts was gassed during WW1 by the Prussian Forces in France. He returned to the USA and later worked at the US Army's Oak Ridge Facility for the Union Carbide company. A history of Oak Ridge shows the facility was built as part of the Manhattan project for production of a "new fuel". This "new fuel" was used to efficiently end Japanese hostilities in the Pacific Theater of W.W.II. The Union Carbide company was the operator of the gaseous diffusion battery for separation of U238 and U235.The latter being processed by other concerns as fuel for the new weapon. The marriage of JGF & CG should not be confused with that of Nannette Esther Febuary and T. Conway Griffith, conducted by the Hon. PQ Miller at Johnson City, Tenn. in Jan. of 1914.
Griffith and Bailey Celesta Griffith was born to Lemuel H Griffith (b. 3/18/1857) and Mary E Bailey (b. 6/16/1863, m.3/28/1878) Altha (b. 2/4/1879), Hannah (b.9/18/1880), Blaine (b.2/23/1882), Esther (b. 10/10/1883), Margaret (b. 5/29/1885), Jennie (b.11/7/1886), Eliza (8/20/1888), Gracie (4/23/1890), Mercy (1/31/1892), Emma (4/2/1894), Matthew (1/10/1896), Tina (2/14/1898) Gary (10/20/1899), Celesta b. Dec. 16, 1901 being the 12th of 16 children, May (9/26/1905), Homer (6/6/190?) all to this fruitful marriage. All but the last 8 children to this marriage being recorded in the Genealogy book (7). The histories of Grandmother Febuary's families, the Griffith and Baileys were gleamed from material provided by one Lloyd Bailey (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) and copies from the Griffith family bible. The same noting that in October of 1987 he had been to Relief NC and seen the house where C.G. Feb. was born, the house looking to be still in good shape. Lloyd Bailey being author to a book entitled, The Bailey Family of Yancy Co. NC. The Baileys were listed among the early families to the US coming in the 1600's. The Baileys of western NC and eastern Tenn. can trace movement into the area from the late 1700's. Beginning with one Edmund Bailey who fought in the French and Indian war of 1755. Griffith and Masters (7) Lemuel H Griffith was the son of Elkhonman G. (b.12/22/1819, eldest son of John & Anna) and on Nov. 30 1837 married Rosanna G. Masters (b.1/30/1820) and in Relief NC had issue: Susanna b. 10/18/1838, John M., Polly, Hannah, Henery M., Jane A., Backus P., Marcus J., Lemuel H. (b.3/18/1857), Julia Narcissus, and Robt. H. (b. 10/16/1863) And Lemuel H. was the grandson of Chisholm G. of Rockingham Co. NC who was the son of Orlando G. of Frederick Co. MD who was the grandson of Wm. Griffith Sr. who came from London to settle on the Severn River in Anne Arundel County, Province of Maryland in June of 1675. In 1699, Wm. Griffith, Jr. father of Orlando G left a will as follows: .."First I bequeath my soul to God, that gives it me, in hopes of a joyful resurrection, in and through the merits of my Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, in whom I hope to have remission of all my sins ...I give to my son Orlando one horse." And Orlando willed to his 4 children 2 tracts of land in Frederick's Co. MD and other articles valued at about $2000, the better part of which included 10 "Negro". Two of Orlando's children were married to descendants of one George H. Silver (German spelling, Silber) who came on the good ship, SPEEDWELL that landed in Philadelphia on Sept. 25, 1749. By the listing posted at the court house, 240 souls from Wirtembergh, Alsance, and Hanau by way of Rotterdam. Due to the intermarriages of the Silvers and the Griffiths, the descendants book notes that Geo. Silver served in the Continental Army. Geo. Silver Sr. married Ann Griffith, a daughter of Orlando and John, son of Orlando, married Nancy Silver. Grandmother Feb. recalls a relative going to Germany to visit family and returning with assorted musical instruments during the early 1900's. And she had also an excellent tape of blue grass music from a cousin who plays with a band in the Wash. DC area. The most famous distant Griffith cousin is Andy Griffith of Matlock fame & etc. Other cousins from the area of Relief NC are the Masters and Baileys, as noted. During March of 1994, a visit to St. Jean D'Angley France was made to see the area from which came ADF to the USA. The trip was inspired in part by tales that both grandfather and his brother visited whilst on duty in WW1; possible abeyance holdings, and to see a city of no small historical signifence. The city was situated in the southeast of France, perhaps 100km inland from the sea. The nearest port was Rochell (sp?) and as such all homes had shuttered windows, presumably for the occasional storm. The land in that area must be some of the best farming available, with little grade, rolling hills and evidently ample rainfall. The area appeared to produce all manor of crops, grains, hays, and vegetables. A visit to the local cathedral revealed
the name of one Dominique Favreau, a close resemblance to the frankish spelling Fervrier, but not quiet an exact match to the spelling given in the confirmation papers of ADF and likely no relation. The city history by the locals was from the middle ages, but the french plaque in the monastery gave a listing starting at about 800AD for the city. The church history noted two upheavals 1) during the 1500's from the Huguenots en 1562 noting the torture of Ulysse Arnaud torture by the Protestants in 1568 and 2) at the end of the 1700's, presumably the time of the French revolution? This being noted as La Persecution 1792 -1803 and Profane en 1792. The Benedictines bishop of the church was listed as Jacques Brillouin from 1805 to 1822. So it was into this turbulent time that ADF was born to his mother Lemorie Faineau and Etienne Fevrier at 5 am on the 27th of April 1801. While the connection of ADFs first wife, Sarah Williams, to the Lincolns seems incredulous, the facts which lend some credibility to this reasoning are given as follows:

A) the peculiarity of the name Mordicia passed into the Febuary family, B) the catholic background of that Lincoln family branch & likely so that also of ADF, C) the known presence of Lincoln relatives in the Eastern counties of Tenn. such as Mord Jr. who married AJ and Eliza, D) the craft of Tailoring common to Mordicia Jr., AJ, & ADF. E) The 1830 US census listing the Williams and ADF having as neighbor a certain Mary Lincoln, widow. E) The Stovers of Carter Co. Tenn. common between the marriages of the Williams and Johnsons. and F) That regarding the excessive casualties in the battle of Chicamauga, President Lincoln acknowledged the loss of relatives lives at that battle, where a combined total exceeding 30,000 men perished.
APPENDIX I Some History of the Lincolns Captain Abraham Lincoln Sr. (1744 - 1784) grandfather of Pres. Abe Lincoln (2/12/1809 - 4/15/1865) came into the Kentucky area from Virginia at the behest of his acquaintance, Daniel Boone (13), during 1782. And in 1784, while Abe Sr. was planting corn with his three sons, he meet his demise from an indian musket ball. The young Tom Lincoln was tending his dying father in the field when Mordicia Sr. felled the Indian standing over Tom & Abe Sr. So one could almost say that without the valiant actions of Mordicia Sr., there would never have been the one horse lawyer from the one horse town to lead the USA through the turbulent years of the Civil War. Indeed it was Abe Jr. who said, I have often said that Uncle Mord ran off with all the talents of the family. The uncle Mord should not be confused with the life long bachelor, Mordicia Jr., who was the son of uncle Mord. History notes the children of Uncle Mord being raised in the Catholic faith by the wife of uncle Mord. The Lincolns of Hancock Co. Ky. were noted for never having a recorded divorce nor any cases of insanity in the family. Chronology of Andrew Johnson AJ was born Dec. 29, 1808 in Raleigh NC, the son of Jacob J. Shortly thereafter (3) in Jan. of 1812 the death of Jacob occurred possibly due to stress from saving a drowning man the previous day in Raleigh NC. About Nov. 1818 AJ was apprenticed to one Shelby, a tailor in Raleigh. But on June 15, 1824 AJ broke his apprenticeship bond as given by the notice filed for the arrest (with reward) of AJ & accomplice the following day in the Raleigh newspaper. AJ traveled as a journeyman tailor into Carthanage, unable to sustain employment due local infamy, and then on to Laurens SC about Sept. 1824 and then in 1825 moved westward to Decatur Ala. by way of the Tennessee towns of Columbia and Knoxville. It was the fall of 1826 when he returned to Raleigh NC for his parents. The letter of ADF gives some of the arduous details of this crossing of the mountains. By some accounts, a two wheeled cart was used in the move pulled by a blind pony. And in Sept. of 1826 they reached Greeneville Tenn. and camped outside the town at Farnsworth Mill. Later AJ was to purchase the property where by some accounts his parents were laid to rest under a willow tree, the sprig there-of coming from the willow tree on top of Napoleon Bonaparts grave in St. Helena France. It was May 17, 1827 when AJ was married to Eliza McCardle by Mordecia Lincoln, cousin of Pres. Abe Lincoln. In 1828 the first child, Martha was born, 1829 both AJ and Mordecia Lincoln, cousin of Pres. Abe Lincoln, were elected as Aldermen to the town of Greeneville Tenn. Then 1830 Charles (Dr. Surgery d.1863) was born and AJ was reelected Alderman. In 1832 Mary J. was born, {who later married farmer Daniel Stover of Carter Co. Tenn. in April 1852 to have 3 children Lillie 1855, Sarah 1859, Andrew Johnson Stover 1860. Daniel Stover was noted for resistance activities during Confederate rule of eastern Tenn.} It was 1834 when Robert {later Col. in US Army} was born to the AJ family and AJ was elected Mayor of Greeneville serving until 1837. And 35 as State Representative in Nashville to be returned a second time in 39. It was 41 when AJ was elected as State Senator to Nashville and by 43 to Wash. DC as Congressman to sit 3 terms, the last being 47. It was 1852 when Andrew Jr. was born to the Johnsons and 53 when AJ was sworn in as Governor of Tenn. to serve 2 terms. And in 57 elected as Tenn. Senator to D. of C. The feelings of Senator A. Johnson were openly vented in various debates prior to the war. And it may have a sharp argument between Senator Johnson and Senator Jefferson Davis was responsible for the malice noted among Confederate forces for Johnson. For while senators these had utmost contempt for each others person. Jefferson Davis being somewhat a Southern Aristocrat of the sort Johnson railed on with unspeakable judgments in various senate debates. And in Davis eyes, Johnson was better qualified as tailor than senator, having learnt to read while sewing. For in formal education, Johnson was a plebiscites plebiscite in comparison to Davis West Point Degree and Southern Plantation holdings. The year 1860 saw AJ make unsuccessful runs for candidacy on Democrat ticket at both US Pres. and VP. When the Civil War came AJ stayed in D of C as the only secessionist state Senator remaining in Washington. Which in 1862 Lincoln posted AJ as the Military Governor in Nashville. Following the battle of Chicamauga, Sept. 19, 1863, a delegation from Tenn. military Governor Andrew Johnson attempted to see Lincoln in hopes of obtaining re-enforcement troops for the Union forces in eastern Tenn. Lincoln refused to
entertain the delegation. Instead he wrote a note acknowledging the severity of the situation in eastern Tenn. at the time. The note being similar to those written on previous occasions for delegations from the authorities of Tenn. The situation was considered desperate by Johnson who was the one person sought by Confederate forces as arch-trader to the southern states. In such a light one has to judge the valor of Joseph A. Febuary in guarding Gov. A. Johnson in his speeches to the Union troops of east Tenn. It was the southern war democrat that was to save the Lincoln Party ticket when in Nov. 1864 Union Party election placed Lincoln as second term President and AJ as first term VP. {Perhaps the only time Republican & Democrat simultaneously served at the Executive Offices} Following the election , A. Johnson requested the VP oath be administered in Tenn. due to the tense circumstances in E. Tenn. & the ill effects they had upon his health. Lincoln insisted on AJ taking the VPs oath in DC and on Feb. 26, 1865, at Lincolns request, AJ resigned the MG of Tenn. AJ returned to DC on March 3 to be sworn in as VP. Due to the difficult journey and after partaking of brandies to fortify his frame delivered an acceptance speech on March 4 exceeding an hours length. {The invigorated quality being duly noted by all embarrassed chamber delegates. The senate marshal ushering out AJ with strict gag orders after others patiently endured the discourse. The brief acceptance speech of Lincoln being well received after Johnsons exit.} Shortly thereafter on April 15 AJ was to assume the Presidents office due to Lincolns tragic assassination at Fords theater. AJ attempted to carry on Lincolns policy of favorable terms to the former Confederate states and oversaw the magnificent Alaska Purchase from Russia. Congress was against AJs favorable dealings with the southern states and began impeachment hearing on March 30, 1868 only to have their peers acquit AJ of all impeachment charges May 30, 68. It was March 4, 1869 when AJ left the White House for Greeneville in Green Co. of Tenn. During July of 1873 AJ was stricken of Cholera in Greeneville but recovered by July 30. About this same time ADF passed away of the same plague on July 25. Johnson proved to be a person well liked by his fellow Tennessians and was later returned to DC as US Senator from Tenn. on Jan. 26 of 1875. During a trip back to Tenn. AJ passed away on July 31 that same year. The Aug. 1 eulogy of the Arkansas Gazette ran: But for AJ our beloved South would have been ruined beyond redemption.'

Armstrong, Princeton NJ 1985/93 Since the original documents contained references to P/U being founded on the old Leonard Estate, it was decided to request verification from P/U. The library returned the original deed from Judge Tho. Leonard, dated Dec. 26,1758 with other documents. It appears that the Judge married into the gentry and that the wife was trustee of certain properties for her son. The original deeds dated back to a 55,000 acre deed from Wm. Penn. The deed to P/U was never contested by the heir. However certain other properties were contested and subsequently reverted back to the heir. The Judge deeded 600 acres to Princeton University which the board members had made a contingency for moving the University to Princeton. After the war of Independence the University came upon hard times and sold the better portion of the Leonard lands. Thank you for your interest!

Thank you for your interest! An Acts 15 believer: But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. 13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: 17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. 18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. Said another way: Colossians 2, Good News Translation , 20 You have died with Christ and are set free from the ruling spirits of the universe. Why, then, do you live as though you belonged to this world? Why do you obey such rules as 21 Don't handle this, Don't taste that, Don't touch the other? 22 All these refer to things which become useless once they are used; they are only human rules and teachings. Galatians 3, Amplified Bible 7 Know and understand that it is [really] the people [who live] by faith who are [the true] sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify (declare righteous, put in right standing with Himself) the Gentiles in consequence of faith, proclaimed the Gospel [foretelling the glad tidings of a Savior long beforehand] to Abraham in the promise, saying, In you shall all the nations [of the earth] be blessed. 9 So then, those who are people of faith are blessed and made happy and favored by God [as partners in fellowship] with the believing and trusting Abraham. And now having read the preamble, I am a mostly retired engineer. No formal training in bible but have opinion that the scripture is provided for simple instruction to everyone, including you, who has sincere desire to understand. About the 2017 date, I make no warranty for precise events but to say there are far too many facts that preclude ignoring the implications of 'The Balfour Century'. Watch and prepare for important events around 2017. Will it be a post or pre trib date? I am only sure that believers will be redeemed, who live under the blood of Jesus, as typed by the Exodus of Israel. Have you accepted the blood of Jesus as your restitution with God? If not, why? Only trust and ask God's help to believe. It is very simple, 'Elementary, my dear Dr. Watson'. Don't be taken in by schisters who wish to make life complicated. The kingdom of heaven is so simple, Jesus said only trust and believe with child like simplicity to see your salvation. Luke 1: 67-75: And his father Zachariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, 'Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people, And has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he swore to our father Abraham, That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life'

A. B. Simpson
Albert Benjamin Simpson, founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance was born December 15, 1843 in Bayview, Prince Edward Island, Canada. At an early age he felt the call of God on his life to preach and later experienced a dramatic conversion to faith in Jesus Christ. After discovering a line in Walter Marshalls Gospel Mystery of Salvation, The first good work you will ever perform is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, Simpson committed his life to Jesus Onlythe anthem that also ignited an unquenchable passion in his heart to reach the lost.
He went on to enroll at Knox College (Toronto) for theological training. After graduation in 1865, Simpson accepted a pastorate at Knox Presbyterian Church in Hamilton, Ontario, marrying Margaret Henry the same weekend. In 1873, at age 30, Simpson left Canada to pastor the Chestnut Street Presbyterian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, and later the Thirteenth Street Presbyterian Church in New York City (NYC). His desire to minister to the flood of immigrants pouring into NYC met with great opposition from the leadership of his church. He eventually resigned his prestigious pastorate and set out to establish the Gospel Tabernacle, a church in the heart of the city, where allthe poor, homeless, sick, and displacedwould be welcome. Simpsons ministry to New Yorks immigrants caused him to wonder about the unreached masses throughout the world. It was then that he developed an insatiable burden for the worldwide evangelization of lost souls. Singlemindedly focused on this burden, Simpson began assembling like-minded people with a
A. B. Simpson
passion for taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth. He proceeded to hold evangelistic meetings on Sunday afternoons. These gatherings, which then grew to camp meetings and revivals in other locations along the East coast, were essentially the beginnings of The Christian and Missionary Alliancea society fully devoted to experiencing the deeper life in Christ and completing the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). Having also personally experienced a miraculous physical healing, Simpson would go on to coin the foundation of the Alliances doctrineThe Fourfold Gospel: Christ our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King. Simpson was a prolific writer from the start of his ministry, having authored 101 books and countless hymns, periodicals, booklets, articles, and curriculums over his lifetime. His influence went on to move the hearts of missionaries, pastors, and people of all denominations towards spreading the gospel in all lands.

One verse per line
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. 4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed , and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good , and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies , and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say , Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say , Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 15 See , I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply : and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 17 But if thine heart turn away , so that thou wilt not hear , but shalt be drawn away , and worship other gods, and serve them; 18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish , and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live : 20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy

Amorites (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
Amorites
Meaning: highlanders, or hill men. This was the name given to the descendants of one of the sons of Canaan (Gen. 14:7), called Amurra or Amurri in the Assyrian and Egyptian inscriptions. On the early Babylonian monuments, all Syria, including Palestine, is known as the land of the Amorites. The southern slopes of the mountains of Judea are called the mount of the Amorites (Deut. 1:7, 19-20). They seem to have originally occupied the land stretching from the heights west of the Dead Sea ( Gen. 14:7) to Hebron ( 13 (compare 13:8; Deut. 3:8; 4:46-48), embracing all Gilead and all Bashan ( Deut. 3:10), with the Jordan valley on the east of the river ( 4:49), the land of the two kings of the Amorites, Sihon and Og (Deut. 31:4; Josh. 2:10; 9:10). The five kings of the Amorites were defeated in a great slaughter by Joshua (10:10). They were again defeated at the waters of Merom by Joshua, who smote them till there were none remaining (Josh. 11:8). It is mentioned as a surprising circumstance that in the days of Samuel there was peace between them and the Israelites (1 Sam. 7:14). The Amorites were warlike mountaineers. They are represented on the Egyptian monuments with fair skins, light hair, blue eyes, curved or hooked noses, and pointed beards. They are supposed to have been men of great stature; their king, Og, is described by Moses as the last of the remnant of the giants (Deut. 3:11). Both Sihon and Og were independent kings. Only one word of the Amorite language survives, Shenir, the name they gave to Mount Hermon (Deut. 3:9). The discrepancy supposed to exist between Deut. 1:44 and Num. 14:45 is explained by the fact that the terms Amorites and Amalekites are used synonymously for the Canaanites. In the same way, we explain the fact that the Hivites of Gen. 34:2 are the Amorites of 48:22. (Compare Josh. 10:6; 11:19 with 2 Sam. 21:2; also Num. 14:45 with Deut. 1:44.) ALSO SEE:

Parousia and Apocalupsis
The Parousia, the Apocalupsis, and the Tribulation period

There is evidence that these two Greek terms are used interchangeably in scripture and therefore refer to the same (single) event - the second coming of Christ. You don't have to get angry if you do not believe this; just open your Bible. It's not rocket science - it is just Spirit-directed common sense. So I encourage you to prayerfully check the evidence for yourself. According to the rapture theory, there will be two separate stages of Christ's coming: the rapture (or parousia) and the revelation (or apokalupsis). They say that there is a seven year period of tribulation between these two events. Are you ready to examine this?

Where's the Solution? The Blessed Hope Famous Bible Verses
r r r r r r r r r r r
Let's look at First Thessalonians 2 and verse 8. In fact, if you read from verse 1 (to get the context) you will see that verse 8 is referring to the antichrist. Rapturists teach that the destruction of the antichrist will be at the apokalupsis (after the seven year period). This destruction of antichrist is spoken of in verse 8. It says that Christ will destroy the antichrist with the brightness of His coming. But note that this text uses the same Greek term parousia as in 1 Thessalonians 4. First Thessalonians 4:16, 17 speak of Christ coming with the shout of many angels, waking the "dead in Christ," taking them, together with the righteous living, to heaven with Him. It hardly sounds like a secret event to me, but anyway the word parousia is used.

Parousia and apokalupsis are used synonymously!

So Paul uses these two Greek terms synonymously, interchangeably. So then either the exact event will be repeated (which doesn't make sense) OR the events are the same (spoken of more than once). But there's more... In 1 peter 1:13, we read... "Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed." (NIV) Peter is saying, be sober, hope for the grace that shall be given at the revelation (apokalupsis) of Jesus Christ. Now here is the BIG question? Why would Christians be encouraged to keep hoping to the very end of the world for the grace to be given through the revelation of Jesus if their real hope was the rapture (seven years before)? But, just in case you are still not convinced that parousia (the rapture) and apokalupsis (the revelation) are one and the same thing, here are some more verses that will melt your doubt.

Parousia and apokalupsis in the gospels

Let's go to Matthew chapter 24: "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming [parousia] of the Son of Man." - Matthew 24:37 This is a comparison of the Second Coming [parousia] of Christ to the destruction by flood back in
http://www.heavenshope.com/parousia_apokalupsis.htm (1 of 2) [1/24/2013 1:06:24 PM]
Parousia and Apocalupsis
Noah's day. It was the close of probation for the antediluvians back then, as the Second Coming of Christ will mean the end of the world. But compare how Luke talks of the same event. "Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man." - Luke 17:26 And continuing with verse 30: "It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed [apokalupsis]." - Luke 17:30 Now, why would the Holy Spirit inspire the gospel writers to use different terms for these events if they were not one and the same? It is clear that there is not seven years between parousia and apokalupsis, but zero! In other words, they are the same event.
Say, the rapture is not the coming?

Some dispensationalists say that the rapture is not the coming of Christ. But this only makes the issue more confusing... Why would the Bible encourage Christians to be patient, be hopeful, be watchful for the Coming if there will be a secret rapture to take them to heaven some SEVEN years before? Absurd? Yes. For we read in James 5:7, which says... "Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains." So if, as the advocates of the rapture-tribulation-revelation theory say, the rapture is NOT the Coming, the raptured will be in heaven STILL waiting to be delivered, still waiting to see their Redeemer, still patiently waiting for their hope to become reality. You see that these Greek terms, parousia and apokalupsis, are used interchangeably and do mean the same thing.
What about the Tribulation?

We've shown that Coming [parousia] and the Revelation [apokalupsis] are one and the same event. This puts the seven year tribulation period into question. Either it doesn't exist or it will not be as the dispensationalists say it will. They are wrong on the first issue. Let's how the theory of the 7-year tribulation period stand up under scriptural scrutiny.

When looking to current events in the light of prophecy, much emphasis is put on 1948 particularly May 14, 1948 as the beginning or end of whatever time period is being calculated. This is the sort of error man easily makes, ignoring that the pivotal year, if one is to be considered such, is instead 1947. I base this on the following three events within that year: 1. The initial discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the spring of 1947 proved that the Scriptures had been accurately preserved from ancient days. Surely Gods releasing this evidence sent a shockwave throughout the realm of angels and demons that humans have yet to fully grasp.

In late November 1947, the Palestinian partition plan (UN Resolution 181) decides which areas in the Holy Land will be given to the Jews and which will be given to the Arabs, while assuring access to and preservation of holy sites. Also covered in the document are taxation, elections, establishment of a military, and development of a constitution for each state, laying a plan for the establishment of independent states in the region. Though Israel would declare this independence in 1948, it was by this resolution passed in 1947 that the Jewish people had their first legal foothold in the Promised Land in nearly 2,000 years.

1947 is thirty years following 1917. In 1917, the Balfour Declaration opened the door to a future Israeli homeland in Palestine. From 1947 to 2017 is 70 years. From 1917 to 1967 is 50 years. From 1967 to 2017 is 50 years. From 1917 to 2017 is 100 years. About these numbers: In the Holy Bible, seventy is the number of redemption or restoration.

Fifty years is a jubilee. Some say the Jubilee year has to be the 49th year, or the 1st year of the next 49. This is to keep all years in a rolling 7 format. Many disagree. I disagree. My reasoning is that the 50th year is not just another year, but a special year a year out of the ordinary; perhaps, a year out of time. Thirty is the number of maturity in the Holy Bible.

old, David became king at 30 years old, and Christ Jesus began His earthly ministry in His thirtieth year. Reasoning a time of tribulation according to Daniel and the Revelation, one counts back a range of 1,335 to 1,260 days from any day within 2017 for an approximate time for the rise of the beast. Doing the math, we find a range of dates from May 2013 to July 2014. This is the soonest I expect to see the beast rise from the sea to begin deceiving the masses and persecuting the saints.

Daniels Timeline Report
DANIELS TIMELINE
This report is based on a 2-hour in person presentation that has been given on a limited bases since 2001 by the host of DanielsTimeline.com
REPORT
The time of our Lords return is a debated topic that has continued for centuries. We have all heard the date-setters give one inaccurate prediction after another, and even a couple of "thus saith the LORD" thrown in here and there. The Christian Community has taken themselves completely out of the loop with the following misquote: no man knoweth the day or the hour of the Lords return, not even the angels in heaven. However, what the Lord really says in Matthew 24:35-36, is that heaven and earth will pass away but of that day and hour knoweth no man nor the angels. This is after the Lords return and after His thousand-year reign. So, are we supposed to know or not?
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN?
There is a multitude of verses concerning the Lords return and even an admonishment from Him saying, Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you do not discern this time? That one verse should be proof enough that we should know, but He is not just going to plainly spell it out lest the wicked should understand. We also know there are NO idle words in the Word of God. If therefore, it is not meant for us to understand or know the time of His coming, would nott all the verses with clues pertaining to the time of His return be counted as idle
http://www.danielstimeline.com/danielstimeline.html (1 of 11) [1/24/2013 1:11:16 PM]
words? Here are only a few of many verses telling us that God will teach us all things; He will show us things that are to come which includes the return of His Son; And God says and He will show His servants things that must shortly be done. In Daniel, We are given a definite sequence of years that can now be understood. Just being able to understand things that have been a mystery for centuries should be a huge clue to us that time is short and approaching when all things will be finished.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings [are] faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret [things belong] unto the LORD our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law. John 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Thessalonians-1 5:4-5 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. THE SOUGHT AFTER 70TH WEEK
Now, turning our attention to Daniel, the angel sent to him told Daniel to understand, so lets see what we can understand beginning in Daniel 9:23:
Daniel 9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
The simplicity is astonishing. We are going to read it just like it literally is presented, and apply it to a graph. Beginning with Daniel 9:24
we will plot each verse individually. Daniel is now told that 70 weeks are given to make an end of sin and to anoint the most Holy. With both accomplished, (1) no sin and (2) the Most Holy anointed, it can only mean one thing; from some type of a starting point there is a 70 week period until Gods rest starts:
Daniel 9:24 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.
The above verse (v.24) may be one of the most sought after verses to understand in the scriptures. Men have tried to apply this in all kind of ways hoping that it would reveal its secret. Maybe it just wasn't in Gods timing for it to be understood before now, because the literal understanding of what it really describes is very plain. The word weeks was translated from the Hebrew word Shabuwa meaning a period of Seven and also Feast of Weeks, one of the seven Feasts of the Lord:
SHABUWA (shaw-boo'-ah); Noun Masculine, Strong #: 7620: seven, period of seven (days or years), heptad, week; Feast of Weeks (Shavuot)
In the original Hebrew, Shabuwa is in plural form; meaning FeastS of Weeks rather than only one Feast of Weeks. This verse reads: Seventy Shabuwas or Shavuots are determined. Shavuot is one of the feasts call The Feast of Weeks ( known as Pentecost in the Christian churches). There is only one Feast of Weeks per year. To extend the clarity to the fullness of the verse, it literally reads, Seventy Feasts of Weeks (or 70 Yrs) are determined from some starting point unto Gods Rest.
Now that we have verse 24 plotted correctly, we simply continue to the next verses in the Daniel sequence and plot all of them all to understand. In verse 25 we are told that from the going forth of a commandment to restore will be seven week, threescore and two (69 Yrs) unto the Messiah. Now God has now revealed the starting point is a commandment to restore Jerusalem. From the time this commandment is given to restore until the Messiahs return will be a total of 69 years:
Daniel 9:25 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.
Next, in verse 26, Daniel is told from this same starting point (commandment to restore) the years will come and go until 3 score and 2 weeks have passed (62 yrs). Sometime after this 62yr period has passed, the sanctuary will be destroyed by the prince of the people (the antichrist). Notice the period left from the 62year marker to the 69-year marker just happens to leave a remaining 7-year period:
Daniel 9:26 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.
This means the difference between the 62yr prophecy and the 69yr prophecy shows us the beginning of a 7-year period that is known as Daniels prophetic week. In the midst of this prophetic week (7 yr period) two major things happen as recorded in verse 27 below; he, the antichrist, will cause the altar to be shut down and the abomination that makes Jerusalem desolate:
Daniel 9:27 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.
*The Temple DOES NOT have to be completely rebuilt to fulfill Dan 9:27 prophecy. If a corner stone is set, the court can be measured to establish the location of the altar. Then, with the altar up and operating, this prophecy is satisfied. This was the same procedure used to rebuild the Temple in ancient times too. The walls were restored AFTER the altar was operating. Now that we have the whole Daniel week prophecies plotted in a chart form, all that is necessary now is to discern what the starting point is. Yeshua referred to Daniel concerning the latter days. He said when we see the
abomination of spoken by Daniel, for those who are in Judea to flee into the mounts, for then shall be great tribulation.
Matthew 24:15-16 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Matthew 24:20-21 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Yeshua spoke of the fig tree parable and a generation that will not pass. Most everyone on this planet knows the fig tree is Israel. One generation is an average of 70 years not 40 years. The average age of those who were afraid to go to war and take the promise land was about 30yrs old; plus 40 more years for that generation to die in the wilderness equals 70 years.
Matthew 24:32-34 Now learn a parable of the fig tree (Israel) When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves ye know that summer [is] nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation (ours) shall not pass (70 years), till all these things be fulfilled.
Many times God works and speaks through His creation, prophets, and even enemies to perform His will. One perfect example is when God hardened Pharaohs heart that He might judge Egypt. He used Pharaoh that He might perform many miracles when He brought the children of Israel out with a high hand. It is no different today; God still works through any of His creation in which He chooses to perform His will. As written in Daniel 9:25, the spoken commandment starts the 70yr count. Using the United Nations (no matter whether they are an enemy or not), that verse was fulfilled of God on November 29, 1947 (UN Resolution No. 181) purposing the fig tree nation, Israel, to be
restored as a nation again which came to pass in 1948. Now just fill in the years:
Just below is a special morning edition of the Eretz Israel - Palestine daily newspaper dated 11/30/1947 announcing the UN decision (Resolution #181) to establish a Jewish State bringing forth the BIRTH OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL. This is a very important historical document that bears record to the 100-fold fulfillment of Daniel 9:25, saying from the going forth of the commandment (the spoken word not 1948) to restore Jerusalem, unto the Messiah, shall be 7wks 3score and 2wks (69yrs); and also the parable of the fig tree spoken of by our Lord in Mat. 24:32-34 saying this generation will not pass till all be fulfilled.
To illustrate another example, we turn to Ezekiel. He was commanded by God to lie on his side for 390 days (one day for each year pertaining to the exile of Israel). God said He would give Israel 7 times punishment if they refused to obey. This gives a total of 2730 years (390 x 7). Israel was carried away captive to Assyria in 720 BCE. From 720 BCE, to 2730 years later brings us right back to the year 2010 as shown on the Daniel's Timeline. Consider the Jubilee years (one Jubilee = 50 yrs). God said in Genesis that He would not strive with man forever because he is yet flesh, saying that mans days shall be 120 years. (One Jubilee X 120 Jubilees = 6000 years). From Adam (around 4000BC) to the present day (2000 AD) also equals 6000 years. God told us in Psalms and in Peter that one day is as 1000-yrs. God creating everything in six days and resting on the seventh day, it is the same as to say, after six-1000 year days (or 6000yrs), He will also rest on the 7th1000 year day (1000yrs), called the Millennium Rest. The last three Jubilees were: 1867 (The final emancipation of the Jews in Austria and Hungry), 1917 (The 400 yr Ottoman rule ended - Balfour Declaration), and 1967 (The Six Day War - Jerusalem was re-united); It's pretty easy to figure out the next Jubilee year (1967 + 50yrs = 2017). We are at this threshold today, approaching the 120 th Jubilee year (6000 yrs), the time of the restitution of all things.
Acts 3:19-21 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

There is so much prophetic evidence that it takes 2-hours just to go through it all, from the the jubilees, the date the vision of Rev. 12 occurs over Jerusalem, the real serpent constellation (not Draco), the actual counting of days, finding the Sabbath and the first Passover through the manna instruction week, the fig tree nation, how the Feasts of the LORD confirms and ties all of this together, and much more. Surely no one could have put all of this together except that it must have seemed pleasing in Gods sight to show His people in these latter days. When God reveals His truth, all the prophecy pieces just fall into place on their own!

Please Read This Attachment Note About "The Rapture"

The following is a life and death issue with two conflicting answers: This site clearly displays the tribulation years. The pre-tribbers will say, "OK, no problem, I'm gonna be raptured out here before all the trouble
starts." The post-tribbers will say, "we have X amount of years left to prepare." Now, here is the dilemma: Both can't be right. If there is a rapture before tribulation, fine, we'll all get raptured out of here together both the pre-tribbers and the post-tribbers. But, what on earth will we do if the post-tribbers are right and we go throught the Great Tribulation?? We will all know for sure when we see the abomination spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the Holy place. If we see it on our T.V. the post tribbers were right. Remembering the parable of the 10 Virgins (5 were wise and prepared and 5 were foolish who did not prepare), maybe a little personal research should be done rather than just taking for granted what we have been told all these years. It is a known fact, and anyone can check this out for themselves, there was no such thing heard of as a "secret rapture" before 1830 untill a teenage Scottish girl, named Margaret McDonald, stood up one Sunday in the "Church of Scotland" and told of a dream she had claiming that the Lord would come back, not once but twice: first in secret before the tribulation starts to get all the believers; and then for a second time after tribulation. This spread like a grass fire with the help of Edward Irving (Minister of the Church of Scotland until he was dismissed in 1832, only to form the Catholic Apostolic Church) and with the help of John Darby (a pioneer of the Plymouth Brethren). Today the pre-tribulation rapture it is accepted as the absolute undisputed truth in most, if not all, of the Christian Community, who most likely do not even know the truth about its origin. Again, check it out for yourself. Why on earth would you or anyone else leave the answer to this life and death issue up to someone else's interpretation, what they think, or worse, to some European teenage girl's dream? (Besides, the scriptures say the dream must occur twice to be established of God. Gen. 41:32) Is it better to believe what you are told that somebody heard that somebody else said, not bothering to check it out; or is it better to search it out for ourselves in the "Word of God" and then believe what the "Word of God" says?

"The Babushka Doll Principle" Part Six

by Tricia Tillin (Booth)
(All spelling and phraseology is UK English)
blood moon
o round up this set of pages on Daniel's prophecy of the "seventy weeks" and other things, I'd like to review the basic Babushka Principle introduced on page one and see how it has governed the understanding of scripture.
As indicated on the first page, biblical prophecy can be multi-layered. Instead of forcing a single interpretation, we
can justifiably use the Babushka Principle to extract more than one (and in some cases many) complete and valid fulfillments from the word of God without violating biblical interpretation. The Signs of His Coming Where this principle becomes important for us today is the interpretation of the endtimes prophecies. To be honest, as fascinating as bible prophecies are, we are all interested in when the Lord is returning and how it will affect us. By allowing more than one complete fulfillment of (for example) Daniel's prophecy of the "Seventy Weeks of Years" it's possible to avoid much of the confusion and debate over its meaning for today. Some argue for a fulfillment in history, some in the future, and there has been disagreement - sometimes intense and disrespectful - between the various camps, as follows: Rabbinic - happened in AD70, or in the first century BC Preterist - happened in 1st century after Christ, even including the Second Coming (Full Preterism) Historicist - fulfilled in history since Christ, Revelation beasts (etc) are Roman Catholic Church
The importance of the principle
http://www.birthpangs.org/articles/prophetic/babushka_principle6.html (1 of 7) [1/24/2013 1:12:24 PM]
Futurist - similar to above, but a future role for the Jews and Revelation/Daniel are future prophecies Premillennialist - will happen before the Second Coming but hazy on how or when Amillennialist - non-literal, allegorical interpretation; Church replaced Israel Dispensationalist - cannot happen until all Church is removed; strictly pre-trib Otherist - a variety of other beliefs including mid-trib, post-trib, no-trib, third-day, world jubilee and so on
Cut to the chase

To bring this all down to a simple formula, it seems as if readers of the bible thought in terms of "either-or" instead of "this and that". The undeniable historic fact of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem does not need to be argued as the final date for Daniel's seventy weeks. (preterist) Nor does it need to be excluded! (futurist). The full seven years of the final "week" does not need to be held over as in the gap theory of dispensationalism, but nor does it need to happen in a continuous historical sequence as the Jews and others believe. If we let the scriptures speak to us as God intended, we can be unafraid of seeing multiple fulfillments (just as Jesus did speaking of John the Baptist as Elijah - is it a contradiction of scripture that John himself denied that he was Elijah, but Jesus said that he was?).
History repeats itself

The lessons learned through this study have been that the initial understanding that Gabriel gave to Daniel was indeed mainly for Daniel's people and the future of Israel. But that did not exclude the coming of Jesus as the Messiah and the redemption he gave us. Then, the fulfillment of Gabriel's word indeed came to the Jews in AD70 (which they themselves understood) but did not exclude a further outworking of the same prophecy in later times. Similarly, when Jesus spoke of the "abomination of desolation" and warned believers to flee the city when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies, his words were rightly taken as a warning to flee the Romans in AD70. But by this did Jesus mean to say there would be no other abomination in the future? I think not.
Number Crunching
in seeing how the biblical numbers, especially three, seven and seventy, consistently tell the same story we can deduce the overall pattern behind successive prophecies. They are a significant pointer to prophetic principles. Computer database expert A. Colin Day, in his reference book Rogets Thesaurus of the Bible (1992), categorizes by subject matter much of the biblical text. On pp. 7778 of this resource, it has fourteen lines of entry for the expressions three days and third day in the Bible and eighteen lines of entry for seven days and seventh day in the Bible. But it has only one line of entry for two days and second day, one line for four days and fourth day, no lines for five days and fifth day, two lines for six days and sixth day, and one line for eight days and eighth day. Many Bible readers find this disparity startling.
Three days
During this study I have shown how the three days of darkness or trial culminate in release and rescue halfway through the next day (which according to your way of counting the dates is either "the third day" or the fourth.) In the Exodus plagues there are "three days of darkness"; Lazarus is raised after the third day in the tomb, as was Jesus, and also Jonah in the great fish.
Seven days divided

Yet alongside these instances, we see the repeating motif of the "middle of the week", the "week" being the SEVEN either years, days, months or other time period. Just as the Jewish law commanded that a man be cleansed both on the third and the seventh day, so the three and a half, sub-divided week of seven can be shown over and over in scripture. For instance, Jonah was cast out of the belly of the great fish after three days, but then undertook a three-day journey to Ninevah to complete his mission. Also, in approaching the Jordan to cross over into the Promised land we also see two sets of three days. The people were commanded to prepare themselves, "for in three days you will cross the Jordan". (Josh 1:10). Previous to this, Joshua had sent spies into the land who, by the help of Rahab the Harlot, hid for three days in the mountains to avoid capture. (Josh 2:22)
Extending the type

These numbers were also extended by considering the important sequence of dates surrounding the 15th (14th-18th) showing how they confirm and illustrate the three-day sequence. All of this goes to show that starting at the smallest "doll" of the babushka set is only the first step in understanding bible prophecy and we must continue to unpack the meaning until the whole is revealed.
What of the future?
ne almost incidental (yet vital) fallout from this study has been the number of times that the near return of the Lord has
been indicated, both by the prophecies themselves and by the coincidence of recent events relating to them.
The Jubilee table in part five showed that we are now living in the era of the 70th Jubilee grand cycle. (There is the number 70 again.) The number sequences in the additional page to part five indicated important astronomical events for Israel in both 2014 and 2014. The very fact of Israel's existence from 1947/48 indicates one of those prophetic numbers in 2017/2018 (70 years.) The Jubilee of 49 years may be counted from the victorious Six Day War in 1967 when the Jews finally came into possession of Jerusalem, and 2016 after which the 50th year is 2017. To this I would add a personal note, based on my studies on the opening of the seals (see here), that if the seven-year gap holds true then we are likely to see the next major watershed event leading to the endtimes in 2015. Of course it may occur earlier.
Unexpected but not unanticipated

Speculation on the endtimes and prophecy has kept the Church busy for centuries but never has the final exact date of the rapture or the Lord's return been exactly calculated. There are very good reasons for that!

The devil is to be kept in the dark about God's plans for rescuing his people, just as when Jesus was born. Believers are commanded to be "always ready" and not complacent. People need to exercise faith about the Lord's coming which would be pointless if the date were known. Mankind could make plans to sabotage God's plan or to use propaganda against it in advance. Judgement needs to be swift, unexpected and therefore unavoidable.
Just before the first coming, there were certain people in Israel [like Anna Luke 2:36] who were eagerly expecting the birth of the Messiah, and God had prepared the hearts of some to expect his coming. So in this day and age God is also alerting people to his coming. We should expect to be seeing more and more relevant scriptures and receiving more clear revelation from the Holy Spirit as the months and years go by. Even though we cannot know exact dates, we can certainly know in general. Unfortunately, people like Harold Camping muddy the waters for us all by date-setting and making a laughing stock out of the Church. Others see much in scripture but are blind when it comes to the rapture so they always deduct exactly seven years from any important date, and end up giving false hope, like those who confidently predicted 2010 as the rapture date. As you know, I do not see a seven-year "tribulation" in scripture - for one thing, the Lord in his mercy said he would cut those days short - and I believe the pattern in scripture is that believers are removed just prior to the destruction.
Final Words
I conclude this study by expressing the hope that others will study, meditate and think deeply about all that scripture says, laying one thing against another, until we come to a full understanding of truth. Although that cannot happen on earth, we can all contribute to the sum total of understanding in our own way. That is, by respecting the research of others even in areas that we once considered out of bounds or untouchable. We need to be bold enough to consider new teaching in case it has some grains of truth that we can glean (or even much truth that might overthrow our own.) God is the only one who can inspire us to know his word. No MAN or woman can teach us, and I recognise that I may have made many errors in these articles. Throughout, I have been grateful to the wisdom, research, hard work and dedication of many unknown people who have posted their conclusions to the Net. In almost every Christian website there is something to be gleaned and I have used some of their research, but in saying that, I do not necessarily endorse the religious beliefs or teachings of those to whom
I have linked, and I am not associated with them in any way. Ex 19:10-20 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.... Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice. Then the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
When the trumpet sounds and God's voice is heard, I pray you may be ready.
