I remember it in my parents library. It seemed so far-fetched at the time. I wonder what Hal would have written if he was writing it now?!
A while ago, I found this calculation very interesting:-
In Ezekiel 4:4, he is told to lie on his left side for 390 days and then his right side for 40 days. Each day Ezekiel lay there was to represent a year of punishment for Israel and Judah.
Adding the 390 and 40 we have a total of 430 years, and if you deduct 70 years "time served" in the Babylonian exile, you get 360 years.
Leviticus 26:18 states that "And if ye shall not for all this hearken unto me then I will punish you 7 times more for your sins"
It is a matter of historical note that only about 5% of the Hebrews returned with Ezra (and even they didn't all follow God) so God would have been perfectly within his right to apply his "sevenfold" judgement from Leviticus on the Jews for their continued disobedience. This would then mean that the remaining judgement would have been 360 x 7, or 2520 years.
Now the Jews use the Lunar calendar and this is the but that requires a cup of coffee and some concentration:-
2520 x 360 (Jewish lunar calendar days) = 907,200 days.
The end of the Babylonian captivity began spring (Nisan) 536 BC
Divide this 907,200 by 365.25 (our solar calendar year) and you get 2483.8 solar years.*
*It is important at this stage to note that there was only one year between Passover in 1 BC and Passover in 1 AD, i.e. no 0 year BC.
----------
So, if we begin our count from the end of the Babylonian captivity in spring 536 BC and add an exile of 2483.8 calendar years (based on that 7 times judgement for continued disobedience)...
2483.8 - 536.4 (the years BC) we get 1947.4.
Now add one on and you get 1948.4.
The Nation of Israel was formed on May 14th 1948.
1) I like how you purposely forgot that there was a Jewish state/return to Jerusalem in the 7th century that lasted around 23 yrs.
Why is that not worthy? In fact it is said that the Jews were more messianic and were already building a temple.
The reason you pretend tis didn't happen is because back then it was Christians who stopped the Jews and massacred them.
2) calculations are deceitful
If in Ezekiel's vision he is told 390 yrs are for Israel and 40 years are for Judea...why are they adding them then deducting 70 yrs of exile? Makes no sense.
Jerusalem was destroyed in 588bc
If you use the year 536bc for the end of exile..it doesn't come to 70 yrs.
For 70 yrs it comes to 518bcand that is more accurate to history..as it's the time period when the Jews returned under Zerubbabel and Joshua.
Also, when God says He will punish them 7 times over...that refers to the actual punishment. How the hell do you Include the second temple period within the punishment? In that time they had Jesus too?
However you think a 1948 Israel. Founded by masonic Rothschild family where you now have gay parade and athiesm...is somehow the end of God's punishment.
It's the periods without the temple,that are the primary sign of God's punishment..
However you see xtian and dont believe the temple is required since the body is the temple of God.
Why is it you never seen to apply some common sense to the rubbish you post on here?
3) how about the 1260 days of the gentiles trampling over the outer court. Revelation 11?
Remember I did the calculation and it literally fit number of yrs Muslims have controlled the Al aqsa mosque from when it was built to when it was lost with the creation of Israel.
Mine was accurate and fits the contexts literally. Like literally Muslims built a mosque on the outer court (area) of the temple mount.
Literally trampled there for 1260 lunar yrs (and that is after I excluded the crusader era Christian control).
You don't want to acknowledge this..let's face it.
Btw this isn't an ego trip for me...it's more about you. It's about the way you and others operate.
Christian zionists are dumb.
