I hope you’ve read the last four posts concerning the time of Jesus’ return. I also hope you’ve looked up the associated scriptures to verify what I have posted. While the general time frame arrived at is certainly not set in stone, it should alert you to how potentially close we are to end time events. Those four biblical scenarios, though circumstantial, build to a logical and realistic time frame when considered together. The secular dates used, AD30 for the crucifixion, and AD 70 for the destruction of Jerusalem, while not absolutely certain, are probably accurate to within three years. Simply adding 2000 years to AD 30 gives us 2030, + or – 3 years, or a range of 2027 to 2033. This means Daniels’ 70th week of 7 years would have already started in 2020 or will start by 2026. Close indeed ! If, however, the seventieth week is an add on to the 2000 years, the 2nd coming will be 2034 – 2040 with the seventieth week starting between 2027 and 2033. Still quite close !
Since I believe Jesus coming will be at the “last” trumpet, which will introduce the 120th Jubilee (the trump of God which He Himself will blow) and the Kingdom, it must be blown on Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement (Lev. 25:8-11). My favorite bible chronologist has gone so far as to propose a specific date and time with the assumption of AD30 and AD70 as accurate dates. His best proposal : The 120th jubilee, at sundown on Tishri 9, 2036. If this is accurate, Daniels 70th week will start in the autumn of 2029 seven and one half years from now. In all my studies of end-time chronology I cannot dispute his timing. I think that’s the best we can do for now, and update as last days events unfold. Keep watching !
