PLEASE READ ON BORROWED TIME FIRST (ON OTHER SIDE OF BOOK) Please consider, before beginning to read this book, that there are eight criteria this book must meet without exception and without any error of any kind. These criteria are: CRITERIA #1 – This book must agree perfectly, and in every detail with every verse in the Bible, from cover to cover, and particularly with the 886 end-time Bible prophecies, perfectly, and with all their included verses. CRITERIA #2 – This book must agree with all Seven Feasts of Israel, all of their dates, and all the dates' limitations. Namely, that over cannot occur on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday (which also means that the first day of Unleavened Bread cannot occur on Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday); that Rosh-HashAna cannot fall on a Friday or Sunday; and Tabernacles cannot fall on a Saturday. CRITERIA #3 – All Jewish dates in this book must agree with and adhere to the 19-year lunar cycle and the 28-year solar cycle, because all Jewish dates are set by the moon and its monthly cycle. Notice that the

Gregorian date of over will swing 39 days ang therefore never appear on the same Gregorian calendar dates of the Seven Feasts of Israel are each one on a different calendar date each year. Only God could keep up with all the above date changes over each years; man certainly could not. But as a testimony that the years 1988 through 1995 are the 70th week of Daniel, you will find every date given on its correct day of the week. CRITERIA #4 – This book must fit all current world events described in the Bible for this last generation and the end-time perfectly. CRITERIA #5 – All this book's mathematical calculations must fit perfectly together. 1 CRITERIA #6 – All events of the end-time must dove-tail together per the Bible to each other both logically as well as literally and mathematically per Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation. CRITERIA #7 – All events in this book had to fit both logically and Biblically into a 6,000-year package called Six Days with God, when the Millennium is included. CRITERIA #8 – In the 70th week of Daniel and in the Millennium, each event is calculated to the second of sunrise or sunset, Jerusalem time, to begin or to end, while the church-age limitations are left at “No man knoweth the day not the hour.” Can you see that it would have been literally impossible for me to have imagined all this book and made it to fit my idea of the Bible, and yet fit all the above Bible limitations of God so perfectly? All the above is much like a combination lock on a bank vault which takes 20 or 30 correctly fitted numbers in the correct sequence to open the secret bank vault. Unless every number is exactly perfect in the sequence, the bank vault will not open. In this new, expanded edition we have added several new reasons that are taken from some of the other research material we recommend. When a name is beside a Reason #, this denotes the contributing author. Names of other research reports and books are listed after Reason #88. A Summary 88 REASON WHY ROSH-HASH-ANA 1988 MUST BE THE TIME OF THE CHURCH'S RAPTURE You only need one good solid reason why 1988 will be the church's Rapture. Here are 88 plus reasons why Rosh-Hash-Ana is the year of the church's Rapture for you to pick one from. REASON #1 It is evident that in the minds of most Christians today, Matt. 24:36 is believed to prohibit anyone from being able to see the day of our Lord's 2 return approaching. Matt. 24:36 states that “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” In looking at this statement, you can easily see that it is impossible to know the exact day and hour of the Lord Jesus' return. If Jesus arrived at one particular instant of time, there are 24 times zones around the world, and each time zone has multitude of Christians in it. How are you going to identify that particular instant in each time zone on earth? Also, there are always two days existing on earth at the same time; only at the exact second that the earth es through the international date line does only one day exist on all the earth. All other times, there are two days

existing on earth at any one moment; one day is coming and the other day is going. So you can see the problem in trying to tell all the Christians covering the earth at any one instant of time the exact day or hour of our Lord's return. However, this does not preclude or prevent the faithful from knowing the year, the month, and the week of the Lord's return. REASON #2 Joe Civeli of Pensacola, Florida, gave us the following information regarding the word “knoweth”: To better understand what Jesus said in Matt. 24:36 and Mark 13:32 when he used the word “knoweth,”reference to the Greek language where a single word can have several meanings, a word must be used in a sentence in order to determine its meaning. In Greek, however, a meaning of a word can be determined without knowing the context of a sentence because each meaning of a given word is indicated by a different spelling. Take, for example , the word “love”: in English language, it must be used in separate sentences to convey the feeling of unselfish love, tender affectionate love, kindness love, or romantic sexual love. In the Greek language, the word “agape” is used to described unselfish love, with “philio” denotes tender affectionate love, “philanthropia”, kindness love, and “eros”, romantic sexual love. The Greek had eight words to express the various uses of the verb “to know”. Two of these forms - “ginosko” and “oida” are used by Jesus in Matthew 24, 25, and Mark 13 and throughout the New Testament. The word “ginosko”, according to Strong's Concordance, #1097, and The Companion Bible, appendix 132, means to understand, to be sure of, and to have unconditional and objective knowledge. The used of this form of the verb means that the information can be obtain and understood; you can have complete knowledge. In essence, the information or knowledge is either available and understandable, or it is not. Had Jesus used this form, there would have been no doubt that no one could know “of that time, not even the angels, or Jesus.” However, Jesus did not used “ginosko”, He used “oida”. The word “oida” (spelled “eido” in Strong's Concordance #1492 and “oida” in both The Companion Bible and Young's Analytical Concordance) is similar to “ginosko” in that it means “to understand, to have knowledge, etc,” but only when used in certain past tenses. When used in other tenses, as done by Jesus in Matt. 24, 25, and Mark 13, its meaning is obtained from “optimai”. This word according to Strong's Concordance #3700, means to understand intuitively – knowledge obtained without effort. Usage of “oida” in other than certain past tenses refers only to how knowledge is obtained, not the degree of understanding as with “ginosko”. The positive used of “oida – to know” means the information or knowledge is understood intuitively, being obvious to the observer. The negative used of “oida – cannot know” does not mean that the information or knowledge is not obvious, easily seen, or understood by intuition. The negative used of “oida” in no way implies that the information or knowledge is unknowable or unattainable; it does mean that it takes an effort, investigation, or study in order to uncover and understand it. In other words, it is there to obtain. It can be seen in the following verses that Jesus made a clear distinction between “knowing” the signs of the return, and “knowing” when He is to return: Matt. 24:32 (ginosko)... Know that summer is near Matt. 24:33 (ginosko)... Know that it is near Matt. 24:43 (ginosko)... Know this, if the good man Mark 13:28 (ginosko)... Know that summer is near Mark 13:29 (ginosko)... You will know the time is near Matt. 24:36 (oida)... Of that day and hour knoweth no man Matt. 24:42 (oida)... You won't know when your Lord will return Matt. 24:43 (oida)... If the good man had known Matt. 25:13 (oida)... You know neither the day nor the hour when he comes Mark 13:32 (oida)... Of that day and hour knoweth no man Mark 13:33 (oida)... You don't know when the master of the house is coming Where Jesus used the “ginosko”form of “to know” in the verse above, He was indicating that the knowledge would be available and that they would have complete understanding. In the other verses where Jesus used “oida”, He was indicating that the knowledge would not come instinctively, but would require some effort to perceive and understand it. Using “oida” in Matt. 24:36 and Mark 13:32, as in the Greek manuscripts, the texts would, in essence, read, But of the day and hour, no man knoweth intuitively, no, not the angels of heaven, but

my Father only that it wasn't obvious and that it would take effort to understand it. Another important consideration is the misunderstanding of Acts 1:6, which many preachers quote in saying that the time of the return of Jesus for His Christian Church cannot be known: “So when they (the apostles) met together they ask Him, 'Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel'?” And in verse 7, Jesus answered, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons the Father has set by his own authority.” The preachers apply this verses to the Rapture in order to that you cannot know the time of Jesus' return for His church. The first time the Rapture of the church is discussed without mystery in the New Testament is 1 Cor 15:51-52, when Paul spoke to the Corinthians for the first time about the Rapture. The apostle Paul said, “Behold, I show you a mystery.” What is a mystery? The word “mystery” here means a secret to a select group. Paul revealed a truth that had not been revealed before. The Christians of Corinth were the first to hear of the Rapture. In Acts 1:6, the apostle do not even know of the Rapture. They are asking a kingdom question - “Jesus, will you at this time return the Kingdom to Israel?” It is the kingdom question that God the Father has reserved to Himself, not a Rapture question. This is verified by the fact that it was at least 20 years later (six plus 14 years – six years after the Revelation of Jesus, plus His 14 years in the desert – (Gal. 2:1-2) that Paul spoke to the Corinthians and revealed for the first time the mystery of the Rapture, the snatching away of the church in the twinkling of an eye. The Rapture was never revealed to the apostles in the days of Jesus' sojourn on earth. Therefore, Jesus answer “it is not for you to know the times and the seasons” is an answer to a kingdom question, and not a Rapture question. REASON #3 A summary of 13 reasons why the rapture of the Church will not be a surprise to the faithful Church is listed here. Jesus said in Matt. 24:47 and Luke 17:26-29 (paraphrased), “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man (Jesus). It was the same in the days of Lot. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and des5 troy them all.” The first six reasons are in the Old Testament: 1) Noah was not surprised. God said in Gen. 7:4, “In seven days I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights.”So Noah was not surprised when God's wrath descended; 2) Lot was not surprised because the two angels came and physically removed Lot from Sodom before the fire and sulphur rained down from heaven (Gen. 9:16), so Lot was neither surprised nor did Lot take part in God's wrath on Sodom; 3) The Jew would not have been surprised at the Messiah Jesus' first coming had the Jew read his prophecy carefully. (Dan. 9:25-26); 4) In the days of Moses, the faithful Jew was not surprised when the death angel descended on Egypt and killed all the first-born (again God's wrath descending). The faithful were not surprised but were safe; 5) The traditional Jewish bride, who after drinking the cup of wine set before her as acceptance of the young Jewish man's wedding proposal, agreed to lie awake each night at midnight with her window open, waiting for the shout, “The bridegroom cometh.” After the Jewish maiden drank the cup of wine, thereby agreeing to marry the young Jewish man, he would go away for up to two years to build a house and furnished it. After the house was inspected and approved by his father, the bridal party of a few friends would approach the house of the bride-to-be and, about one-half blocked away, would shout, “The bridegroom cometh.” The bride-to-be would hear this through the open window, get up, light her lamp, dress and go meet him when he arrived at the door. So the bride-to-be was never surprised, just as the Church (the brideto-be) will not be surprised at Jesus' coming for the Rapture. 6) Dan. 9:26 told the Jews exactly when the Messiah would be cut off. There are over 300 Bible prophecies which tell of the first coming of Jesus, yet the Jews missed Him. Are you going to do the same? The next reasons are in the New Testament: 1) I Thes. 5:4 says, “But you brothers (speaking to the faithful Church) are not in darkness so that this day (the Rapture) should surprised you like a thief.” This means that the wicked will be surprised, but the faithful will not be surprised at the Rapture; 2) Heb. 10:25 says, “Forsake not the assembling of yourself together (which means go to church) as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the day (of Rapture) approaching.” If the Rapture is supposed to be a surprised, you cannot see the day approaching; 3) Rev. 3:3 says, “But if you do not wake up (Jesus is speaking to the church at Sardis) I (Jesus) will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.”

This means that “if you do not wake up, I (Jesus) will not sur6 prise you.” Only the wicked have always been completely surprised by God's wrath; 4) In the parable of the ten virgins, the ten virgins were not surprised when the bridegroom arrived. All ten virgins were asleep. When the sout came, all ten virgins woke up, and none were surprised, because they had been arguing over the oil for their lamps long before the bridegroom ever arrived, and this parable is symbolic of the faithful Church and the unfaithful church; 5) There will be scoffers in the last days. For there to be scoffers, there has to be a true message going forth or the scoffing is not authentic; 6) God's faithful have never been surprised in the entire history of the Bible when God's wrath is about to descend, and God is consistent. God never changes and is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 7) Amos 3:7, “The Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.” So we can know the week, the month and the year of the Rapture of the Church. We just cannot know the day nor the hour. But I'm still just as happy knowing the week. I do not need to know the day and the hour. REASON #4 AND #5 God uses the Seven Feasts of Israel to tie together the 69th and 70th week of Daniel. The 69th and 70th weeks of Daniel are 1,958 years apart (covering the Church Age). The 69th week of Daniel ended 6 April 30 A.D. at the closing of Jesus' tomb. The 70th week of Daniel start with the Day of Atonement 1988 when Antichrist signs the Seven-Year Peace Pact with Israel on 21 Sept. 1988, and the 70th week of Daniel ends 7 Jewish years later on the Day of Atonement 1995, at the battle of Armageddon, 4 Oct. 1995, thus lasting seven Jewish years. (Note: The next paragraph is extremely important.) Lunar dates of the last three Feasts of Israel for the years 1988 through 1995 provide the beginning and ending dates for the count of days given by God in Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation and beyond any reasonable doubt that from the Day of Atonement 1988 through the Day of Atonement 1995 is the 70 th week of Daniel. (This single fact is the unchallengeable proof that this book is correct and true.) Since the faithful Christian is never appointed to wrath, then the Rapture of the Church must be before the Day of Atonement 1988, 21 Sept. 1988. The faithful Christian might have to endure Satan's wrath as Job did, or endure the wrath of man every day, but the faithful Christians never have to endure the wrath of Lamb, Jesus (see Rev. 6:16-17) 7 Because the 70th week of Daniel starts 21 Sept. 1988 (the Day of Atonement 1988), the Rapture of the Church must preced the Peace Pact g between Antichrist and Israel. Thus we look at Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 which is ten days earlier than Peace Pact g date, 21 Sept.1988. REASON #6 One of the Seven Feast of Israel given in Lev. 23, it looks as if God gave the first three Feast of Israel to Jesus, the next two Feasts of Israel to the Church, and the last two Feasts of Israel to the Jew. The first feasts-over, Jesus died; Unleavened Bread, Jesus lay buried; and on Firstfruits, Jesus arose from the dead in the first resurrection of permanence. Then the Church was given the next two Feasts of Israel – the Christian was born on Pentecost or Shavout, the fourth Feast of Israel, when the Holy Spirit arrived to indwell the living believer; Acts 2:2-4 and the Church departs earth at the Rapture on the Fifth Feast of Israel, the Feast of Trumpets (called Rosh-Hash-Ana) in 1988, Rev. 4:1 thus the Church arrives on earth on the fourth Feast of Israel when he who restraineth is taken out of the way (II Thess. 2:7). Then the last two Feast of Israel were given to Israel and the Jew – in 1988 on the Day of Atonement (the sixth Feast of Israel, called Yom Kippur), Antichrist signs the Seven-Year Peace Pact with Israel starting the 70th week of Daniel for seven Jewish years, at which time God again deals with Israel as the promised people of God, and,

on the Feast of Tabernacles, 9 Oct. 1995, (five days after Armageddon), Israel recognizes Jesus as their Messiah whom they crucified 2,000 years ago (see Zech. 12:10-14). Thus the Church Age began on the Fourth Feast of Israel (Pentecost), 28 May 30 AD and ends on the fifth Feast of Israel (Trumphets or Rosh-Hash-Ana), Sept. 1988. REASON # 7 Three wicked generation of 40 years each were given in the Bible. The first 40-year wicked generation was the 40-year wicked generation to die off the desert in the days of Moses, and they never reached the promise land. The second wicked generation of 40-years was given to Israel by Jesus from 30 A.D.to 70 A.D. Jesus said in Matt. 23:33-36 – in speaking to the teachers of the law (the scribes) and to the Pharisees (the preachers of Jesus' day) - “You snakes! You 8

brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? (34) Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will f your synagogues and pursue from town to town. (35) And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. (36) I tell you the truth, all this (the righteous blood of history) will come upon this generation.” (From 30 AD to 70 AD was the second wicked 40-year generation) Israel was destroyed in 70 AD by the Roman Armies and scattered throughout the whole world to this day. Now Jesus had made the above statement to the teachers of the law and to the Pharisees after He had been welcomed into Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey, but before His crucifixion. Therefore, the above statement was made about 4 April 30 A.D. and was completed 40 years later in 70 A.D. when Israel was conquered by Rome, the nation of Israel was destroyed as a nation, and the Jew scattered throughout the known world. So here there is no question that a wicked generation is 40 years long. Now let's look at the third time that the 40-year wicked generation is spoken of in the Bible. In the Olivet discourse, Jesus said to His disciples (Matt. 24:32), “Now learn this lesson from the fig three; as soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. (33) Even so, when you see all these things, (wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom, famines and earthquakes in various places, all these are the beginning of birth pains.) I (Jesus) tell you the truth, this wicked generation (1948 – 1988) will certainly not until all these things have happened. (35) Heaven and earth will away, but my words will never away.” This last generation spoken of above started on 14 May 1948, the day Israel become a nation. Israel is the time clock of God throughout history. Israel is the blooming fig tree, (Jer. 24:4-8) and the last generation will end 40 wicked Gentile years later on 14 May 1988. Noah's last generation was 120 years, and the floods came and killed the wicked people on earth. Before the flood in Gen. 6:3, God started that a man's days will be 120 years. We have the 40 wicked years in the desert plus 40 wicked years from 30 A.D. To 70 A.D. (Israel's last wicked generation), and now we have the last wicked generation of Gentiles from 1948 to 1988. Thus we have today's last 120-year wicked generation made up of three periods of 40 years, each totaling 120 years to wrap up this period of wickedness as the 9 flood did. Then all the wicked people on earth will be killed again, but this time by fire of thermonuclear weapons. (World War III starts sunset 3 Oct. 1988. World War IV is 1 May 1992 when Satan conquers all the people of the earth, and World War V is at Armageddon on 4 Oct. 1995.) So we have three last wicked generations of 40 years each, totaling the days of a man's years of 120 years (see Ge. 6:3).

REASON #8 The Jewish people recognize the significance of the 40 years from 1948 to 1988. Rabbi Meir Kahane, the rabbi who wants to throw out all Arabs in Israel, is acutely aware of the 40-year grace period given by God starting in 1948. Forty days arise again and again in connection with sin and punishment in the Bible. Here are few paraphrased from Rabbi Mier Kahane's article: “And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.” (Gen. 7:12) “And your children will wander in the wilderness forty years and bear your faithlessness.” (Num. 14:33) And the punishment of stripes, “Forty shall he strike him, he shall not increase.” (Deut. 25:3) The atonement for sin and the purification process begins with a study of Torah, given 40 days at Sinai. And why does the Torah obligate 40 stripes? For he (the sinner) violated a Torah given in 49 days and brought death unto himself (spiritual man who was created in 40 days). For the world was cursed due to his (Adam's) sin, 40 curses: 10 for Adam, ten for Eve, ten for the serpent and ten for the land. And in that tiny prison cell where where these thoughts came to Rabbi Meir Kahane, the thought expanded. Not only was the concept “forty” tied to sin and punishment, it was specifically connected to the warning of God to the sinner, a warning design to avert that punishment. In the destruction of both holy temples, the Almighty gave the Jewish people a period of forty years of grace: time to think and re-think their ways; time to return to Him, saving themselves from that punishment. In the awful final days of the first Jewish state, the Lord tells the prophet 10 Ezekiel: “Thou shalt lie again on your right side and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah, forty days: each day for a year”. (Ezek. 4:6). forty years the Almighty, having brought down His wrath on the ten tribes of Israel, begins the countdown to the terrible day of punishment that is decreed for a house of Judah that turned its back on its god. But one final opportunity is given them, a grace period. A grace period of 40 years. And so a prophet is chosen, a prphet of grace, of final warning – Jeremiah. (And Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, prophesied for 40 years to Israel.) And again, “For forty years did Rabbi Zadok sit in fast in the hopes that Jerusalem not be destroyed.” (Gittin 56A) And again, “For forty years prior to the destruction of the temple, the Sanhedrin exiled itself (from the temple) and sat in the market place.” (Avoda ZarA 8B) Then Rabbi Kahane said, “The full impact of the thought struck me – if it is true that in the first Jewish state and in the second (Jewish State), the Almighty granted us (the Jewish people) a grace period of 40-years – is it possible that the same could be possible of the third Jewish state (Israel today)?” “If you (the Jew) walk in my statues – I will give you peace. But if you will not hearken unto me – I will appoint terror over you.” This is the choice, the only choice. All the rest is nonsense. And time ticks away with the decision in our hands. “Return unto Me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will return unto you, swiftly, gloriously, today, this very moment!” (Zech. 1) Rabbi Meir Kahane goes on to say, “The state of Israel which rose up in the year 194, I am convinced, is the beginning not only of the redemption, but of the grace period granted us (Israel today).” “Forty years of grace, of a last opportunity to reverse needless disaster, to bring the redemption with grandeur and majesty.” “And it becomes clearer and clearer to me that, once again, it is forty years; forty years of warning , onition, opportunity. The final chance.” We (Jews) are masters of our destiny if we will only choose the path that the Almighty pleads with us to walk upon.” “I call heaven and earth to witness before you this day that I have set before thee life and death, blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed.” (Deut. 30).

Rabbi Kahane ends the article with, “My people, my dear and foolish people! We speak of your life and choose of your seed, your children and grand children. Choose wisely! Choose life! The magnificence is yours for the 11 asking. The horror will be yours for the blindness. Choose life, but quickly; there is little time left.” “The forty years tick away.” NOTE: Author's comment: The 40 years end for the Church age on Rosh-Has-Ana 1988 The 40 years ends for Israel on Yom Kippur 1988 (called the Day of Atonement 1988, 21 Sept. 1988.) Then starts the 70th week of Daniel. OTHER COMMENTS ON THE NUMBER 40 In Noah's day it rained 40 days and 40 nights , the end of which was the complete destruction of the wicked world of Noah's day. (Gen. 7:12) Isaac (a type of Jesus) was forty years old when he married Rebecca. At the end of 40 years (1948 to 1988), Jesus will acquire His bride, the Church, on Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. (Gen. 25:20) When Esau (a type of Antichrist) was 40 years old, he married Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite. [At the end of 40 years (1948 to 1988), Antichrist will enter a covenant with Israel on the Day of Atonement 21 Sept. 1988, starting the Seven-Year Tribulation.] It took 40 days for the Egyptians (a type of the world) to embalm Joseph's father Israel. (Could the world be preparing national Israel's death and burial at 40 years?) Ex. 16:35: Israel wandered 40 years in the desert. They enter the Promise Land after 40 years. Ex. 24:18: Moses was on Mount Sinai 40 days and 40 nights and Israel made the golden calf and 3,000 died (Ex. 32:28). Yet at Pentecost the 40 days was obeyed by the apostles and 3,000 lived and received eternal life when the Holy Spirit arrived (Acts2). Deut. 8:2 God says to Israel, “ the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commands.” The number 40 is a number of testing, at the end of which comes mercy if you obey and judgment if you do not obey (Josh 14:9). IMPORTANT NOTICE: God never stopped short of 40 years or days, and God never reached a 41st day or year – therefore the Rapture must occur after Israel's 40th birthday (14 May 1989), based on the first 40-year wicked generation in the desert, the second wicked generation, 1948 to 1988. (Matt. 12:34, 24:34, and Luke 12:29) Josh 14:6-9: Caleb was 40 years old and search the land for 40 days per Moses' instructions. For failing this test to take the land, Israel was punished to wander 40 years in the desert. Jud. 3:4-11: The nation around Canaan land were left to test the Israelites to see whether they would obey the Lord's command which he had given their forefathers through Moses. Israel worship idols and was made captive eight years but cried to God and Othniel freed Israel, and God gave Israel peace for 40 years. But Israel failed this 40-year test and was taken captive by Moab for 18 years and this time Ehud freed them. Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord again after a third 40-year period of peace (Jud. 5:31) and Israel was conquered by Midianites. The Midianites destroyed everything in Israel and Israel cried out and God sent Gideon this time who saved Israel. God then gave Israel another 40 years. Gideon's first test of the fleece being wet while everything surrounding was dry represents the word of the true God in Israel's hand and the heathen nations dry of God's word. Gideon's next test of God was the fleece dry and the ground all around to be wet, representing the word of the true God given to the heathen nations (called the Church Age) and Israel being void of the word of God during this Church Age. (Jud. 6:36-40)

After Gideon, Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so God delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for 40 years. Then we have the story of Samson. You may ask yourself why didn't they learn, are they stupid? One of the problem is that each generation of people did not profit from the last generation's mistakes (sins). Do we not have the same problem today? Very few people fear God, instead almost everyone has his own thing going and most of the time it's not serving God. Notice that each time the faithful of God (Israel) have more and more knowledge of the Lord, and Israel's punishment becomes worse and worse following each 40-year testing period to determine mercy of judgment. Now we are at the end of 6,000 years from Adam, and we have very complete knowledge of God's ways. This time the period of testing called the Seven-Year Tribulation is going to be very tough on man and his earth – very tough. You don't want to be here. If you've got sin in your life, you better confessed it, repent of it, and ask God for forgiveness in Jesus' name. 13 The Philistines held Israel captive 40 years, and this was the fourth test of a 40-year period of grace. This time it ended in a 40-year captivity. (Jud. 13:1) At the test between David and Goliath, for 40 days the Philistine (Goliath) came forward every morning and evening and took his stand to challenge and to test Israel's faith in God. Goliath tested Israel 40 days until David killed him (I Sam. 17:16,50). This forty day test ended in victory for Israel through David. Saul reigned over Israel 40 years, and Saul failed God and repented not (Acts 13:21). David ruled 40 years over Israel and failed God but, although he deeply repented, he was not allowed to build the temple for God.(I Kings 2:11; II Sam. 12:10). Solomon ruled Israel 40 years and failed God with idol worship (I Kings 11:42, 9-13). Jonah 3:4: Nineveh was to be destroyed in 40 days if it did not repent (Nineveh was a Gentile city) but Nineveh repented deeply, (king and all) and was spared. Nineveh was not destroyed by God until 120 years later when it failed to repent (See Nah. 1, 2, and 3.) Jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights and after this test period by God was tempted by Satan (Matt. 4:2). Moses was 40 years in Pharaoh's court and killed the Egyptian (this test failed, Acts 7:23). Moses was 40 years in Jethro's family and married. (This test ended well, Acts 7:30). Moses was 40 years in the wilderness with Israel (this test failed; Moses did not get to enter the Promise Land, Acts 7:36). Thus at the end of the 40-year period from 1948 to 1988, you can expect the Rapture of the Church on RoshHash-Ana 1988, the Seven-Year Tribulation to start on the Day of Atonement 1988 (21 Sept. 1988), thus starting the 70th week of Daniel. From 1948 to 1988 is the last 40-year test of the earth to turn to God or to turn from Him – and we the world, as a people, have turned from God. REASONS #9, 10, AND 11 An extremely important point: If you realize that Jesus as God made the 69th and the 70th week week of Daniel continuous in the mind of the Jew (as well as the mind of the Gentile) by tying the 69th and 70th weeks of Daniel together by using the Seven Feasts of Israel, then Jesus' statement, “Four more months and then harvest” becomes clear. Matt. 13:39 says, “The harvest is the end of the age.” John 4:35 says, “Four 14 more months and then the harvest.” - thus from Pentecost (Shavout 30A.D. when the wheat harvest begins) is the growing time of the Church (1958 years or four months). Jesus said in John 4:35, “For the fields are already white to harvest,” meaning that the cotton is ready to harvest (that the righteous harvest is ready). Now ten days later on the “Day of Atonement”, the harvest of the wicked of the earth begins the seven years (and the exact end

of the Age – Church Age). In Rev. 14:15, the angel is told, “Thrust in thy sickle and reap; for the time has come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” (Meaning that the wicked harvest is now ready ten days later). Jesus was speaking of the harvest being “Now white to harvest,” an expression applicable only to the latter harvest of the year. The harvest of cotton that starts at the time of Rosh-Hash_Ana is the latter harvest of the year. The former harvest at Pentecost is the wheat harvest and is not white in color. Now let's check this our mathematically. From over (over, 14 Nisan) any year to Rosh-Hash-Ana any year is 164 days, counting over as Day #1, when the first Jewish candle is lit and counting on to Rosh-HashAna again when the first Jewish candle is lit. (Please realize the modern Jew uses 15 Nisan as over and 163 days to Rosh-Hash-Ana. This hides the proof that Jesus was the Messiah.) From over Unleavened Bread Weekly Sabbath

Then we have – Thursday, 6 April 30 A.D. as day #1; Friday, 7 April as day #2; Saturday, 8 April as day #3.

First Fruits Sunday, 9 April (Firstfruits) as day #1; Pentecost Sunday, 28 May as day #50 (Shavout); Total 53 days, less 164 days from the start of over (14 Nisan) to the start of Rosh-Hash-Ana, Equals 111 days to the start of Rosh-Hash-Ana in 30 A.D. Pluse nine days later to sunset is the start of the Jewish Day of Atonement in 30 A.D. There are 120 days from over to the start of the Day of Atonement (the start of the harvest of the wicked of the earth, Matt. 13:39). Thus we come to sunset 20 September 1988 as the start of the harvest of the wicked of the earth. Less 1958 years for the Church Age between 69th to 70th week. 15 The total of 120 days, divided by 30 days per prophetic month, equals exactly four months to the start of the harvest, exactly on the Day of Atonement 30 A.D. or 1988 (because the 69 th and 70th week of Daniel are continuous) – and continuous just as though the Church Age 0f 1958 years never existed. The 69 th and 70th weeks occur as if it all happens in the same 360 day period, a Jewish year. Two salient points appear to be presented here. First, Jesus' comment, “White unto harvest,” could only apply to the time of Rosh-HashAna and the latter harvest (the white linen of the bride's wedding gown being made of white cotton, and the color white representing the righteousness of the saints) while Jesus' comment, “Four months and then the harvest,” could only apply to the Day of Atonement and the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel. Thus this whole discussion clearly shows that it is exactly 120 days (or four prophetic months) from Pentecost 30 A.D. to the Days of Atonement 30 A.D. and the harvest of the earth must begin on some future Days of Atonement (REASON #10), just as the Rapture being at the last trump (I Cor. 15:52) on some future Feast of Trumphets. The Jew blows the shofar trumphet for 30 days, skips a day and blows the last trump on Rosh-HashAna. This indicates that the Rapture might be on Rosh-Has-Ana at the last trump of Rosh-Has-Ana. Just as the first four Feast of Israel were all together as a unit to end the 69 th week when Jesus was crucified, the last three Feast are all together as a unit to start the 70th week of Daniel. Therefore, the first four Feast of Israel end the 69th week of Daniel and the last three Feast of Israel starts and end the 70th week of Daniel. We are made in the image of God and, if you were God, how would you have done the trying of the 69 th week to the 70th week together more beautifully, so beautifully that no one could miss the 69th and 70th week of Daniel as being continuous? Therefore, the seven Feast of Israel Reason #9 and Reason #10 by the completing of the Jewish sacred year with the latter three Feast of Israel in the latter part of the year, thus confirming the use of Rosh-Hash-Ana and the Day of Atonement in the saying of Jesus in 30 A.D. (John 4:35, Matt. 13:39). Here then, because we have ed for six of the seven Feast of Israel in end-time Bible prophecy, we

might so expect the seventh Feast of Israel, Tabernacles, to appear somewhere in the count of days in the Old and New Testament Bible verses, which later showed that the two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) arrived on Tabernacles (Reason #11) and sealed the 144,000 16 blameless Jewish witness for Jesus. Notice, that of these last three Feast of Israel, Rosh-Hash-Ana (the fields white to harvest), Day of Atonement (four more moths and then the harvest), and Pentecost or Shavout (when the fields were already white to harvest) are verified by Jesus himself. Tabernacle is verified by going to the date of the fast for the death of Moses on 12 March 1992 and backing up 31/2 days that the two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) are dead in the streets of Jerusalem (Rev. 11:8-9), from sunset 12 March 1992 to sunrise 9 March 1992. Then back up 1,260 24-hour days from sunrise 9 March 1992 to sunrise 26 September 1988, exactly 12 hours into the Feast of the Tabernacles. This shows that Moses and Elijah (Mal. 4:5) are the two witnesses of God in Rev. 11:3, and that they arrived 12 hours into the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles to seal the 144,000 Jewish Christian Missionaries for Jesus in the first 3½ years of the 70th week of Daniel. NOTE: Enoch was not a Jew, and the 70th week of Daniel is all Jewish. So Enoch is not one of the two witnesses. The harvest of Matt. 13:39 (which says, “The harvest is the end of the age”) starts at sunset 20 September 1988, at the start of the Jewish Day of Atonement 1988. (Gentile day starts at 12:00 midnight, 21 September). Thus sunset 20 September 1988 is the end of the Gentile age spoken of in Matt. 13:39. Notice this very important point: in Israel a man was stoned (killed) on the testimony of two witnesses. Witness #1 that this book is correct is that the count of Bible days in Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation (like 1,335 days, 1,290 days, 1260 days, seven years, on hour, ½ hour, 42 months, etc.) taken all together in this book, verifies that the Day of Atonement 1988 to the Day of Atonement 1995 is the Seven-Year Tribulation called the 70th week of Daniel. And we know the Church is not appointed to the wrath of the Lamb (Rev. 6:16). Witness #2 are reasons #10 and #11 where the words from Jesus' very mouth verifies the use of Rosh-Hash-Ana (by “fields white to harvest”) and the Day of Atonement (by “four months to harvest” and by “the end of the age is the harvest”) - all ing that Jesus and God had in mind the latter use of the last three Feasts of Israel at some future determined date in history (1988 through 1995). On these two witnesses I rest my case. All else is strictly icing on the cake. If you need only one reason, then reason #10 or #11 is it. In Unger's Bible Dictionary under the “Jewish Calendar,” the Jewish months, festivals, seasons, weather and crops are given. Under the month of Sivan, which occurs in May-June, we have Pentecost or Shavout when the wheat harvest begins on the uplands. Under the Jewish month Ethanim 17 called Tishri,we have the Feast of Trumpets called Rosh-Hash-Ana and the cotton harvest. The wheat harvest is symbolic of the start of the Church Age on Pentecost 30 A.D. and the cotton harvest is symbolic to the end of the Church Age on earth on Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. REASON #12 I Thes. 5:3 says, “while they (the world) are saying peace and safety! Then shall destruction come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child; and none shall escape.” Jer. 6:9-15 says, “peace, peace, they say when there is no peace.” This was the least prophecy that needed to be fulfilled before the Rapture takes place. When this peace and safety) movement is worldwide, then shall destruction come upon them suddenly and none shall escape. This peace movement had reached the capacity of 200,000 to 300,000 in Europe in 1986, and “Hands Across America” brought the United States into the movement.

On 1 July 1987, the New Age Movement had a rally for peace in every capital of the world. So when all the world cries for peace and safety, destruction will come on them suddenly (World War III, World War IV, World War V at Armageddon), and none shall escape. This is the first time in history that all capitals of the world had cried out in unison for peace. REASON #13 Even communism has given capitalism a peace overture that the capitalists cannot refuse. Lenin (the communism god) instructed the communists to lull the capitalist to sleep, then smash with them an iron fists. This cry for peace and safety is unmistakable, and it is worldwide. Another interesting observation is that if you count the days in a 280 days from Rosh-Hash-Ana 12 September 1988, day number 1 is 8 December 1987, the day President Reagan and the Russian leader Gorbachev signed the Intermediate-Range-Nuclear-Missile Facilities Treaty in Washington, D.C. (the INF treaty). Thus, from 8 December 1987, you can count down the last 280 days to the Jewish date of Rosh-Hash-Ana 12 September 1988, the date of the Church Rapture (don't forget that 1988 is a leap year). Also notice that from Israel's 40th birthday on 14 May 1988, it is exactly 120 days to the start of Rosh-HashAna at sunset 11 September 1988. 18 REASON #14 The ancient Jewish engagement and marriage On Sunday, 1 July 1984, Zola Levitt told the story of the ancient Jewish engagement and marriage on his television program. It went something like this: When a young Jewish man wanted to marry a Jewish girl, he would go to her home and place a cup of wine before her (the church's communion) as a request for her to marry him. If she refuse the cup of wine, this was her refusal to marry him. But if she took the container and drank the wine, this was her acceptance of his marriage proposal. And this agreement was only broken by a greater effort than our present day divorce requires. This was a very binding agreement. This cup of wine is symbolic of the communion taken in the Christian church in remembrance of the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, until He comes again (Luke 22:15-20 and Mark 14:22-25). The young woman would then leave the bride-to-be at her home and go away to build a wedding home, with furniture, for his bride-to-be. This may take up to two years to complete (2,000 years to complete for the Church; see John 14). And all this time, the bride-to-be awaits every midnight with the window open for the shout of the wedding party to say, “The bridegroom cometh” (this is symbolic of Jesus going away to build a mansion for his bride, the New Jerusalem [built without hands] and the return of Jesus for His bride, the Christian Church, on Rosh-Hash-Ana with the shout, “The Bridegroom cometh.”) Now when the young Jewish man has his bride's cottage ready, he and his wedding party approach the bride's home at midnight and, a few hundred yards from the bride's home, someone in the wedding party shouts, “The bridegroom cometh..” Now the bride-to-be is in her sleeping apparel, and she must hurry to get her clothes on, pick-up her lamp, and she must hurry to get her clothes on, pick-up her lamp and light it (the lamp with oil in it ready to be lit is a symbolic of the parable of the ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom). She goes to meet her bridegroom, the wedding takes place and they go away seven days together (the seven years of the 70th week of Daniel). Note that in the parable of the ten virgins, five had oil in their lamps, and five did not. The five without oil in their lamps went to get oil (see Matt. 25:1-13), and when they returned they were not let in. Now on in the village knows who got married until they return at the end of the seven days. (No one on earth knows who gets married to Jesus until they return seven years later at Armageddon, the end of the 70 th week of Daniel). This story seems to fit so beautifully what is said in the New Testament 19

about Jesus relationship to His Church – about His departure and return. The stories seem to parallel so perfectly, that I ask this question: would the shout that “The bridegroom cometh” by someone in the wedding party in order to let the bride know a few minutes early so she can get ready – would this book or some similar event just before the end let the faithful Church know, or at least know the week, the month and the year, a short time in advance to allow the bride to get ready to meet the bridegroom? Noah was not surprised if he had read his prophecy like Daniel 9:26, Ps. 22 and Is. 53. Thus God never surprised His faithful, not even once in the past, but the wicked have always been completely surprised like a thief in the night (see Rev. 3:3). The Jewish apostles must have had the same experience 2000 years ago, when John the Baptist went running around telling everyone “the day of the Lord is at hand”. They must have had the same feelings we do. “Can it be?” After all, they had been waiting over 2000 years for the Messiah also. They must have found it hard to believe that THEY would see His coming. “Surely not I?” Perhaps another generation. But no, THEY were the ones. I ask this question: Is this book the shout - “The bridegroom cometh?” - to allow the faithful church member time to light their lamp, and get ready to meet the bridegroom? In regard to this event, it is interesting to note that the Feast of Trumpets in 1988, which falls on Sept 12 and 13, is a Monday and Tuesday. This is significant because, according to Jewish tradition, the bridegroom always comes for his bride on a Tuesday. Since the church is referred to as “the bride of Christ,” it might be expected that Jesus would also return for His bride (the Church) on a Tuesday. If tradition holds true, this would tend to confirm that 1988 should be the year of the Rapture. Furthermore, it can be added that the Feast of Trumpets will not fall on Monday and Tuesday at the end of a Sabbatical Year, seven years before the Jubilee year, until the year 2085/2086. REASON #15 In order to help determine the year of the Messiah's return, (the Second Advent, not Rapture) it is necessary to examine the Jewish and Biblical time cycles. Two of these cycles are “Sabbatical” and “Jubilee”cycles. Jesus' Second Advent will occur at the end of Daniel's 70th week, Rosh-Hash-Ana 1994/95. This is the end of a sevenyear Sabbatical cycle and the start of a new 20 Jubilee cycle. From Adam's creation to 1995 is 120 Jubilee cycles. Gen. 6:3 says, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be 120 years.” A theological word study of the Old Testament shows the word “years” here to stand for Jubilee. A Jubilee happens every fifty years. 120 years X 50 years (Jubilee) = 6,000 years. REASON #16,17,18 (Joe Civelli) The Millennial reign can be based on a Jubilee that occurred during the reign of Hezekiah. Is. 36:1 states that in the 14th year of King Hezekiah's reign, Emperor Sennacherib of Assyria and his army attacked Judah and captured it. The remainder of chapter 36 and all of Chapter 37 describe Sennacherib asking Hezekiah to surrender the city of Jerusalem – the only city left under Jewish control. Hezekiah asks the prophet Isaiah to seek the Lord's help in rescuing them. The Lord said He would save them if Judah would resume observing the Jubilee years (practice that had been abandoned) as required by Leviticus 25:8-17. Hezekiah agrees, and the Lord sends an angel to the Assyrian camp that night who kills 185,000 soldiers of the Assyrian army. Sennacherib then withdraws his army from Judah and returns to Nineveh. The 15th Jubilee cycle can be projected to the present time to determine if it coincides with a Sabbatical cycle. For the Sabbatical year of 1987/1988, the difference between 701/700 B.C. And 1987/1988 is 2688 years. 2688 years divided by 49 years equals 54.6 Jubilee cycle. Accordingly, 1987/1988 cannot be the year of Jesus' Second Advent (not Rapture). Also since the Antichrist appear seven years before Jesus returns, 1987/1988 cannot be

valid since 1980/1981 has ed, and the Antichrist has not been observed. Sabbatical and Jubilee cycle seems to play an important and integral part of God's dealing with the people of Israel. Of particular interest is the use of these cycles in connection with the return of the Messiah such as in Daniel's prophecy of the 70 weeks. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, should return at the end of a Sabbatical year following the 70th and final Sabbatical week. Let us examine a few other scriptures to see if the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycle occur again in connection with the return of the Messiah the second advent for Israel in 1995. REASON #19 (Joe Civelli) The Seven-Year Sabbath – in this interpretation of II Chron. 36:21, each of 21 the 70 Sabbaths represent the year of rest after the six years of farming. Therefore, the 70 Sabbaths represent a total of 490 years (70 X 7). As stated above, God warned the Jews in Lev. 26:18 that He would scatter them and increase their punishment seven times. If we multiply the 490 years by seven, we get a total of 3430 years of Sabbatical observance which should have started upon their entry into Canaan in 1436 B.C.. The year 1994/95 is a Sabbatical year. According to this interpretation, the Messiah should arrive for Israel when their punishment is over at the end of 1994/95 Sabbatical year. REASON #20 (Joe Civelli) The Jubilee Sabbath – In this interpretation of II Chron. 36:21, each of the 70 Sabbaths represent the year of rest (50th year), after seven consecutive Sabbatical cycles (49 years). If in fact, these 70 Sabbaths represents 70 Jubilee cycles of 49 years each, we again arrived at a total of 3430 years (70 X 49). This interpretation also puts the arrival of the Messiah for Israel at the end of 1994/95 Sabbatical year and the beginning of the 70 th Jubilee 1995/95. Israel will be celebrating its greatest Jubilee according to the Scripture, when Jesus return to set-up to set-up His kingdom (Obad. 15:17; Joel 13:19,20 and Amos 9:11-15). The next Jubilee after 1995/96 is 2045. Do you think the world can last another 50 years before Jesus' return? In addition to the conclusion that the Messiah should arrive at the end of a Sabbatical year, it cannot be just any Sabbatical year. It should be a Sabbatical year just prior to a Jubilee year. God just may have made both interpretations plausible in order to assist this last generation in knowing when to expect the Messiah, Jesus Christ. REASON #21,22 (Joe Civelli) Matt. 1:21 (280 Sabbatical cycles) – In this verse, Joseph is informed by an angel that Jesus was coming to save His people from their sins. This scripture tells us that Jesus was coming for the spiritual rebirth of Israel. According to Rabbi Ben Zion Wacholder, Jesus began His ministry in 27/28 A.D., a Sabbatical year. Since the gestation period of a human child is 280 days and, according to David, Jeremiah, Jesus, John and Paul, the event of the “end time” will come upon Israel as the birth pangs of travail, let us see if 280 Sabbatical cycles will give us the year this birth pangs should begin. 22 REASON #23 (Joe Civelli) If we start at 27/28 A.D. and add 1960 years (280 Sabbatical cycles X seven years each = 1960 years), we arrived at Sabbatical year of 1987/88. Coincidentally, this is the year we arrived at in our conlcusion for the start of the Tribulation. Is this a coincidence? I don't think so! REASON #24 (Joe Civelli) Ezek. 4:1-6 (360 Sabbatical cycles) – In this scriptures.Ezekiel was told by God to lay on his left side for 390

days and on his right side for 40 days to represents God's judgment of Israel and Judah. He was also told that each day was to represent a year of this judgment. Since 70 of these years were to be spent in Babylonian captivity, there remained 360 years of judgment upon Israel and Judah. Since 70 years in Babylon were Sabbaths (so the land could enjoy its Sabbaths... II Chron. 36:21), it is reasonable to say that the remaining 360 years are Sabbath, too. If we multiply these 360 Sabbaths by seven years each, we get 2,520 years of punishment remaining. Since the Jewish people have not yet repented, God's judgment continuous to this very day. REASON #25 (Joe Civelli) After 70 years of punishment in Babylon, the Jewish people were allowed to return to their homeland in 536 B.C.. Since the remaining 2,520 years are 360 sets of Sabbatical cycles, and if we start at the nearest Sabbatical year to 536 B.C. which is 533/32 B.C., let us add 2,520 years to 533 B.C. to see when the punishment should end. The resulting figure is the Sabbatical year of 1987/88. This should be the year the punishment ends, but as we have already concluded, the Tribulation should begin during that year. I can only surmise that the Jewish people will not repented by then and will have to go thru the Tribulation. As we know, they will finally repent when they “look upon Him whom they have pierce” at Jesus' Second Coming at the end of the Tribulation. REASON #26 Jesus revealed Himself as the Son of God on Rosh-Hash-Ana 28 A.D. at the start of a Sabbatical cycle. (John 5:10-38) Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 is 360 Sabbatical since 602 B.C., less 70 years in Babylonian captivity. In this year, Daniel receive the prophecy of the 70 weeks of sevens placed on his people to bring an end to sin (Dan. 9:24), 602 B.C. - 70 = 532 B.C. - 2,520 yrs = 1988. Don't forget God told Daniel this prophecy was sealed till the end of time. Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 is 280 Sabbaticals since the year Jesus revealed He was the Son of God on Rosh-HashAna, 28 A.D. Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 starts at sunset 11 September 1988. This is the very last second of the Jewish day, the year of Jubilee cycle Rosh-Hash-Ana 1987 to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. This period in time starts at the very last second of the 40th Jubilee cycle since Jesus revealed Himsef as the Son of God. REASON #27 The total of 2,520 years is 36 generations of 70 years each (from Daniel's prophecy of the 70 weeks) to 1988. 602 B.C. - 70 = 532 + 1988 = 2520 ÷ 70 = 36 generations to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. The time of the Gentiles given in Lev. 26:18 is given at 7 X 360 = 2520 years. REASON # 28 The decree to rebuild Jerusalem given by King Artaxerxes Longimanus to Nehemiah (Neh. 2:5) on 14 March 445 B.C. (which ended in the recapture of Jerusalem in 1967) calculates out as follows: It was 69 weeks (or 69 X 7 = 483 years) to the crucifixion of Jesus plus 70 years captivity plus 1967 A.D. Equals 2520 years to the 1967 Israeli War and the recapture of Jerusalem (Luke 21:24). That is, 483 + 70 + 1967 = 2,520 years (another 2,520-year count). The 70 years' captivity were for 70 Sabbaticals not kept by Israel (Lev. 26:34,35). Adding the 360 Sabbaticals (2,520 years) of the Gentiles equals the 430 Sabbaticals not kept by Israel (430 X 7 = 3010 – 1988 = 1022 B.C.), the year David was crowned king of Israel. REASON # 29 From 602 B.C. (when Daniel receives the prophecy of the 70 weeks) to 1988 is 360 Sabbaticals (or 360 X 7 and deduct the 70-year Babylonian captivity): 602 – 70 = 532 + 1988 = 2520/7 = 360 Sabbaticals to Rosh-HashAna 1988. 360 Sabbaticals to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. 360 is a prophetic year, so we have one prophetic year of Sabbaths. REASON # 30 From Rosh-Has-Ana 28 A.D. (when Jesus revealed Himself as the Son of

24 of God to 1988 is 280 Sabbaticals ( or 2 X 280): 28 A.D. + 1988 = 1960/7 years = 280 Sabbaticals to RoshHash-Ana 1988. 280 is a human gestation period and is used many times in the Scriptures. REASON #31 A total of 430 years less 70 years Babylon captivity equals 360 years left. The times of the Gentiles (from Lev. 26:18) for Israel's sins punishment was 360 X 7 equals 2,520 years left on this count to complete the 70 plus 360 which equals 430 Sabbaticals from David (430 X 7 = 3010 – 1988 = 1022 B.C.). REASON # 32 From 1022 B.C. when David was crowned king of Israel it is 430 Sabbaticals to 1988. (430 X 7 = 3010 years) (1022 B.C. + 1988 = 3010). REASON #33 From 1792 B.C. (Abraham's death) to 1988 is 540 Sabbatical (OR 540 x 7.): 1792 + 1988 = 3780/7 = 540 Sabbaticals to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. REASON #34 From 1872 B.C. (Abraham's covenant made with God) to 1988 is 490 Sabbaticals (OR 490 x 7): 1872 + 1988 = 3860 – 430 = 3430/7 = 490 Sabbaticals to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. Don't forget to deduct 430 years captivity in Egypt. (7 x 70 = 490) REASON # 35 The numbers above, whether 430 years or 430 Sabbaticals or 430 days, are each important. Israel was in captivity in Egypt 430 years, it was 430 Sabbaticals from the crowning of David in 1022 B.C. To 1988, and it was 430 days that Ezekiel laid on his side a day for a year for Israel's sins (Ezek. 4:4-7). Israel's sins assigned to Ezekiel was 390 days plus 40 days which equal 430 days or 430 years or 430 Sabbaticals (from David). This is another unfakeable proof for Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 on being the time of our Lord's return. REASON #36 All the cycles (totaling 18 cycles) of generations, Sabbaticals, Jubilees, etc., regardless of the proper time they started, all end up in the year 1988 or 1995 (all synchronized to 1988 as the Church's Rapture, or 1995 as the Second 25 Advent. Matching 4, 7, 70, 40, 49, 120, 280, 490, 430, 1260, 1960, 2520, 360, 1000, 50, 90, 36, and 28-year cycles and making them all synchronize to the year 1988 or 1995 regardless of where they started in history is an unbelievable and seemingly impossible feat in itself. (Not counting what is in the other 590 pages of the book of research notes ing 1988, I personally feel you have to be hard put not to believe 1988.) I realize that working with number is difficult for many people. Numbers cannot be misinterpreted or mistranslated. They add up the same regardless of the language you speak. REASON # 37 J.R. Church, the prophecy preacher from Oklahoma City, OK., visited and Orthodox Rabbi in Dallas, Texas. He asked the rabbi the Jewish meaning of the Hebrew year 5749 (from Rosh 1988 to Rosh 1989), and the rabbi

said, “The Hebrew date of 5749 spells the word 'Shemittah' which is the word for Sabbatical year. Then I ed a statement from my reading that I had come across in The Jewish Encyclopedia. It said, “The Jew believes that the Messiah will come on the first day of the Sabbatical year, that is on the first day of the Shemittah.” Thus Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 is the first day of the Jewish year whose numerical date spells out “Shemittah” for Sabbatical, and if Jesus comes on Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988, He will have fulfilled coming on the first day of the Shemittah year. How about that! REASON # 38 Then J.R. Church asked the Orthodox rabbi about the Hebrew year 5756 (Rosh-Hash-Ana 1995 after Armageddon), and the rabbi said, “The year 5756 in Hebrew means, 'all of you shall change – like we Jews would change our customs -” and I add, “and worship Jesus in the Millennium.” REASON #39 There was a prophecy conference held in Tampa, Florida in early 1988.Dr. Ron Wyatt, one of the speakers, stated on his tape of this presentation that he found the Ark of the Covenant 60 feet below Golgotha, directly below where Jesus was crucified. Dr. Ron Wyatt stated that the earthquake that split Golgotha when Jesus was crucified allowed Jesus' undiluted blood to fall 60 feet below the cross, through the crack made by the earthquake, and to spill Jesus' blood on the Mercy Seat. This was the last blood sacrifice to this day to 26 be sprinkled on the Mercy Seat. Dr. Wyatt stated that he actually saw the Ark of the Covenant, and he too believes the ashes of the red heifer are there also, however he did not see the ashes of the red heifer. REASON #40 The Tribulation Temple does not need to be rebuilt before the 70th week of Daniel starts. The Tribulation Temple is the Tabernacle of David, the Ark of the Covenant, enclosed by a tent and surrounded by a fence. Once the Tabernacle is set-up and you enter through the fence to the tent, you are immediately in the presence of the Holy of Holies, as we Christians presently are when we come before God in prayer. It is clear that the Tabernacle of David can be set up on the Temple Mount called Mt. Moriah, within a three hour period. The Ark of the Covenant would be set over the present location of the Holy of Holies of Solomon's and Herod's Temples and enclosed by a tent placed around the Ark of the Covenant and a fence placed around that. Then a rock of fence would be built between the Temple fence and the Profane place called the Dome of the Rock as explained in Ezekiel. This Tabernacle of David is the Temple on Temple Mount that Antichrist desecrates when he set-up the idol for all the world to worship at midweek April 28, 1992. The worship service in David's Tabernacle, which is set-up and activated June 18, 1989, will be that similar to the present day Pentecostal worship service. There will be singing of Psalms, musical instrument along with clapping, shouting and raising hands, dancing and praising the Lord. Spiritual sacrifices of praise and worship would be offered daily. David had a new ministry and order as compared to Moses' Tabernacle. The daily sacrifices that are abolished by Antichrist at midweek in Daniel 12:11 will be the daily (spiritual) sacrifice of praise and worship. David's Tabernacle had animal sacrifices only at its dedication services, David in the Bible. Recently it has been discovered that the Islamic Temple, the Dome of the Rock, does not lay on the site of Solomon's Temple, but is about 100 meters away. If Israel had the Ark of the Covenant presently in their possession, they could not set-up David's Tabernacle. The ashes of the red heifer must be found first to cleanse the priesthood, the Tribulation Temple, the Tebernacle of David and the people. Without the ashes of the red heifer, it is impossible to cleanse the Temple and the priesthood to activate the temple. 27

The Millennial Temple will be located at Shiloh, ten miles from Jerusalem, where Moses' Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant was kept until Solomon's temple was built. The Millennial Temple will be nearly a mile square, probably 20 times bigger than Solomon's Temple. REASON # 41 Knowing that the 70th week of Daniel ends on the day of Atonement, 4 October 1995, which is Armageddon's date, we can find the date that the Tribulation Temple (the Tabernacle of David, Amos 9:11-12) is activated. We go to sunset Armageddon's date, 4 October 1995, and back up 2,300 evenings and mornings (Daniel 8:13-14), and we are at sunset 17 June 1989, the start of the Jewish day 18 June 1989. This is the exact day the Tribulation Temple of the 70th week of Daniel is activated. The second witness for this count is the 280-day count from sunset 11 September 1988 (1 Tishri), when the first candle is lit to start Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. From the start of Rosh-Has-Ana 1988 to sunset 18 June 1989 (counting the first and last day in the 280-day count) is the end of the Jewish day that the Tribulation Temple is activated for the 70 th week of Daniel. Thus these two witnesses, one from the start of the 70th week and one from the end of the 70th week, provide the proof that 18 June 1989 is the day the Jewish Tribulation Temple (the Tabernacle of David) is activated (Dan. 8:14). REASON #42 We are told in Luke 21:25, “These shall be the signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars...” We are going to have a solar eclipse of the sun this year, and guess which day of all the 365 days to pick from it will happen on? According to the University of Arkansas Astronomy Department, there will be an eclipse on the 11th of September 1988, the beginning of Rosh-Hash-Ana, just one more little proof from the heavens themselves. the Rosh-Hash-Ana will swing up to 39 days every year on our calendar, so what do you think the odds of this exact day occurring on a 365 day calendar? 39 x 365 = 1 in 14,235. How's that the proof to the skeptic! REASON #43 How about this additional sign in the sky. Were you aware that Mars is regarded as the war planet and it has 2 moons, one of which is phobias (fear) and the other demons (devils), and has historically been associated with 28 war as it becomes close to the earth in its orbit. On the Day of Atonement this year, when the Antichrist signs a Peace Pact with Israel, is when the planet Mars will be as close as ever in history to the earth. If you can't read the Bible, then read the sky. REASON #44 THE EVALUATION OF NUMBERS IN THE BIBLE, BASED ON NUMBERS INVOLVING 1988 FOLLOWS: 1.From 28 A.D., when Jesus revealed Himself to the Apostles as the Son of God (John 5:10-38), we have 28 A.D. + (7 x 280) = 1988, the Rapture of the Church year. Seven means complete, and 280 means the gestation period (of a human child); therefore, the numbers would say that the complete gestation period of the Church has been accomplished, and the Church is now ready to be born into eternity in the House of God in heaven. 2. From 2422 B.C., we have the instruction for building the Ark given by God to Noah. Thus 2422 B.C. + (9 x 490) = 1988, the year of the Church Rapture. Thus, 490 years is a period of dealing with a people (7 x 70 or 70 weeks), and 9 is 3 x 3, the number of God; therefore, 9 x 490 is the end of God's dealing with the Gentile people from Noah to the end of the time of the Gentiles in 1988 (plus the Seven-Year Tribulation belongs to the Jew). 3. From 1252 B.C., the marriage of Boaz to Ruth (the marriage of a Jew, Boaz, to the Gentile wife, Ruth), 1252

B.C.+ (9 X 360) = 1988 (the marriage of the Jew Jesus to His Gentile bride, the Church. The wedding does not take place until Rosh-Hash-Ana 1995, but in 1988 the engagement time is over when Jesus comes for His bride, the Church.) Nine (called 3 x 3) is God's completeness or the number of God, and 360 are the days in a prophetic year, meaning the years of the waiting for the Gentile bride are now over for Jesus. 4. From 532 B.C., the start of the Jewish punishment seven times over for not obeying God,or a punishment of 2,520 years (Lev. 26:14-39); or from 602 B.C. When Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar his dream of the idol with the head of Gold, subtract the 70-year Babylonian captivity and you have 532 B.C. + (7 x 360) = 1988, the year of the Church Rapture -or seven for complete and 360 for prophetic years, meaning the completion of the years not under God's protection (Israel is protected by the two witnesses and Petra during the 70th week of Daniel). 29 5. From 532 B.C., the start of the Jewish punishment seven times over for not obeying God, or a punishment of 2,520 years (Lev. 26:14-39). Now 532 B.C. + (9 x 280) = 1988, the year of the Rapture of the Church. Nine (3 x 3) and 280, the number of gestation of a human child, signifies God's complete gestation period for the Jew. 6. From Abraham to David was 14 generations, from David to Babylon was 14 generations, from Babylon to Jesus was 14 generations, totaling 42 generations, and 28 generations of 70 years each to 1988, totaling 70 generations. (Matt. 1:17; Ps. 90:10) From Ezekiel 29:10, God states the Babylon captivity would be 70 years long. The 70 Sabbatical Israel had failed to keep in the previous 490 years prior to 602 B.C. when Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the idol with the head of gold. If we back-up 490 years from 602 B.C. we are at 1092 B.C. as the start of the 490-year count, the time Eli's two sons removed the Ark of the Covenant from Moses' Tabernacle to go to war. The Ark was captured by the enemy and returned the same year; therefore, 1092 is a significant year. 7. Taking the significant year of 1092 B.C., go to 1948 A.D. This equals to 3,040 years, divided by years then equals exactly 76 wicked generations to 1948. 40 x 76 = 3040. 8. Going one more wicked generation to 1988, we have 77 wicked generations to 1988. 40 x 70 = 3080. 9. From 1092 B.C. to 1995 A.D. (Jesus' Second Advent) equals 3,087 years divided by 49 years equals exactly 63 Jubillees to 1995 (Armageddon). 49 x 63 = 3087. 10. 4 x 490 = 1960 or 4 righteous cycles of 490 years each to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 to test a people. Four is the number of earth, and 490 is the number of years in 70 weeks. 11. 49 x 40 = 1960 (or 50 wicked generations of 40 years each) to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988, a jubilee of wicked generations. 12. 50 x 40 = 2000 (or 50 wicked generations of 40 years each) to Rosh-Has-Ana 1988, a Jubilee of wicked generations. From Rosh-Hash-Ana 1442 B.C. exactly one-half way through the 40 years in the wilderness, we have 1470 years to Rosh-Hash-Ana 28 A.D. and 1960 years more to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988, totaling 3,430 years,a Jubilee of righteous generations. (49 x 70 = 3430) 30 13. From the above 1442 B.C., it is seven 490-year cycles = 3430 years to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. It is 7 x 70

weeks equals 490 x 7 equals 3430 years, thus showing, once again, God's numbers Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. IMPORTANT NUMBERS IN THE BIBLE 30 Equals the number of days in a prophetic month. 40 Equals the number of years in a wicked generation. 49 Equals the number of years in seven Sabbatical years called Jubilee. 70 Equals the number of years in a righteous man's lifetime. 180 Equals the number of days in one-half of a prophetic year. 280 Equals the number of days in the gestation count of a child. 360 Equals the number of days in a prophetic year. 490 Equals the number of years in a Sabbatical generation, and also the time of God's dealing with a particular people. A day equals 24 hours or 1,000 years with God or a seven-year period. A time equals 360 days. Times equals 2 x 360 days or 90 days. ½ a time equals ½ x 360 or 180 days. A times over equals seven days or seven years. 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 = 360 x 7 = 2520 (the year of the time of the Gentiles, which ends September 21, 1988) REASON #45 There are 40 Jubilee cycles since Jesus revealed that He was the Son of God (from 28 A.D. to 1988): 40 x 49 = 1960/49 = 40 Jubilee cycles to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. 40 is a period of testing. At the end of the 49 years all the slaves (captives) were set free. The Rapture will set all Christians free to serve God forever. REASON #46 It is 50 Jubilees since Noah was told to build the Ark in 2422 B.C. to Rosh-Hash-Ana 28 A.D. when Jesus revealed Himself as the Son of God. Thus from Noah to Jesus = 50 Jubilees, totaling 90 Jubilees from Noah to 1988. 2422 + 28 = 2450/49 = 40 Jubilees to Rosh-Hash-Ana 28 A.D. 1988 – 28 = 1960/49 = 40 Jubilees to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1099. 31 REASON # 47 It is 70 Jubilees since Abraham made his covenant with God in 1872 B.C. (less 430 years captivity) to 1988. 1872 + 1988 = 3860 – 430 = 3430/49 = 70 Jubilee to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988. 70 is the number of a righteous man's years. (Ps. 90:10) REASON #48 It is 90 Jubilees since Noah was told to build the Ark 2422 B.C. to 1988. 2422 + 1988 = 4410/49 = 90 Jubilees to Rosh-Has-Ana 1988 (Gen. 5:32) REASON #49 (Joe Civelli) In a 1975 article entitled, “Chrono-Messianism” by Rabbi Ben Zion Wacholder, he presented a Jewish perspective on the prophetic significance of the Sabbatical year and the Jubilee year. According to Rabbinical teachings, resurrection day (the Rapture) should come on a future Rosh-Has-Ana (Feast of Trumphets). Rabbi Wacholder also reported that the rabbis taught that Daniel's 70 weeks were actually seventy sets of seven year Sabbatical cycles, each ending in a Sabbatical year, and that the Messiah would come at the end of a Sabbatical year (on the Rosh-Hash-Ana immediately following a Sabbatical year. REASON #50

Although the Jubilee starts on Rosh-Hash-Ana, according to Lev. 25:9, the release of the slaves and the returning of the land to the owner did not occur until ten days later on the Day of Atonement. From the end of the seven-year Sabbatical in which Jesus revealed Himself as the Son of God, there are 280 Sabbaticals and 40 Jubilees to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1995, the Rapture of the last Tribulation martyrs. Ten days later on the Day of Atonement (Armageddon), Jesus frees the Jewish and Gentile captives from the clutches of Antichrist and returns the Promise Land to the Jew. REASON #51 Jesus was baptized, revealing that He was the Son of God, and was crucified in the seven-year Sabbatical from 27 to 34 A.D. The next year, Rosh-Hash-Ana 35 A.D., would be the first year of a 49-year period. If you called that year the first Jubilee, there would be 40 Jubilees to the Jubilee year 1995. 32 At the end of this 40th Jubilee year (or 40 x 49 year period) and 280 Sabbaticals would be Rosh-Has-Ana 1995, which will be the Rapture of the last Tribulation martyrs who make up the bride of Christ. The wedding of the Lamb can take place because the bride of Christ is now complete. REASON #52 From Abraham's calling (Rosh-Hash-Ana 1925 B.C.) to Rosh-Has-Ana 35 A.D. (the end of 34/35 A.D. Sabbatical year in Jesus time is 1,960 years, totaling 3,920 years to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1995 A.D. (the Church's last Rapture) is another 1,960 years are made up of: 8 different cycles of 280 x 74 x 490, 40 x 49, 28 x 70, 49 x 40 = 1,960 years from Rosh-Hash-Ana 35 A.D. to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1995 is (280 Sabbatical) or 1960 years. 7 - 280 years gestation cycles. 40 - Jubilees of 49 years each. 49 - Wicked generation of 40 years each. 28 – Righteous generations of 70 years each. 4 - 490-year righteous cycles of 7 x 7 x 10. Now the second 1,960 is made up exactly the same as above; and adding together the two 1,960-year periods, we have 1,960 + 1,960 = 3,920 years from 1925 B.C. to 1995. This put Jesus at the exact center of Christianity and Judaism, giving 1,960 to both. God gives both equal time to fulfill His plan. REASON #53 7 x 560 = 3920 – 560 Sabbaticals 14 x 280 = 3920 – 280-year gestation periods 8 x 490 = 3920 – 490-year righteous cycles 80 x 49 = 3920 – Jubilees 56 x 70 = 3920 – Righteous generations 49 x 80 = Very righteous generations of 80 years each to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1995. REASON # 54 The Chronological Bible states on Page 54 that Abram was called by God in 1924 B.C. (Rosh-Has-Ana 1925 B.C.) out of his father's house in Ur of the Chaldees. There are 70 week cycles (490 years each) ed for to 33 Rosh-Hash-Ana 1995.

10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Rosh-Hash-Ana 1995 Starts the 80th Jubilee

This also identifies Is. 37:30 as the start of a Jubilee year (the 25th Jubilee year from 1925 B.C.) (At 700 B.C.) and this also verifies Rosh-Hash-Ana 133 A.D. as the first day of the Jubilee year from 1925 B.C. From Abraham's call, Rosh-Hash-Ana 1925 B.C. to Rosh-Hash-Ana 1995/96 is exactly 80 Jubilees of 49 years. REASON #55 All the calculations in this research notebook, Prelude to Armageddon and Beyond, work out to the very hour and second of the day, using Jewish Feast Lunar dates to begin and ends the counts of days in Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation are now understood. Each individual event in Daniel's 70 th week has its date of occurrence assigned by counting the calendar days from the last three Jewish Feast dates for the year 1988 through 1995. Plus exact dates that the Millennium begins and ends with all the dates of its included events over the 1,000 years. Plus all these events and dates each other. Now this is truly amazing. REASON #56 America's famous psychic said that a world leader was borh 5 February 34 1962 somewhere in the Middle East and that this was the greatest vision she ever had. A prophet of God is always 100 percent correct all the time, but by this psychic's own ission she is only 70 percent correct. She said that this world leader would have his great influence in the latter part of this century, meaning about 1995, in which year he would be 33 years old. If he were the Antichrist, and was cast alive into the lake of fire at Armageddon in October 1995, he would be 33 years and 8 months old. Jesus was 33 years and 6 months old when he died. Alexander the Great was exactly 33 years old when he died as the only man in history of the world to rule all the known world. REASON #57 NOTE: THESE ARE THE JEWISH DAYS COUNTS Jesus had 1,315 days in His ministry from the Rosh-Hash-Ana 31 August 26 A.D. (Jesus 30th birthday) to over 6 April 30 A.D. (Jesus gets no kingdom). Antichrist has 1,315 days in his ministry from Peace Pact g which starts at sunset 20 September 1988. Now Jesus has 1, 335 days from 28 April 1992 (when Jesus takes legal possession of the earth) until the starts of His Millennial kingdom at sunset 23 December 1995. This man has 1,338 days from his 30th birthday on 5 February 1962 to his death on the Day of Atonement at Armageddon at sunrise 4 October 1995. But we must deduct 3 days and three nights that Antichrist was in the

blazing fire. (see Dan. 7:11), because we did not count Jesus' three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Thus 1,338 – 3 days = 1,335 days. Thus we have 12,294 days each in Christ Jesus and Antichrist's lifetimes. For Jesus, 1,315 plus 1,335 equals 2,650 days for Jesus. For Antichrist, 1,315 days plus 1,335 days equals 2,650 days for Antichrist. There are 2,650 days from Peace Pact g dates which begins at sunset September 20, 1988 to the start of Millennial. Therefore, Jesus and this man born 5 February 1962 have 1,315, 1,335, 2,650, and 12,294 counts of days in common in their lifetime. 35 REASON #58 Thus it appears that maybe the Antichrist of the end-time was born 5 February 1962. These counts of days are no accident. (From Isaiah 17, it appears that Antichrist was born in Damascus, Syria.) REASON #59 (NON-BIBLICAL) The New Age Movement (which are Satan worshipers) are looking for their “New David” which is Satan in 1991-1992. If the 70th week of Daniel began in the fall of 1988, then 1992 would be the time the idol would be set-up for the Abomination of Desolation, and Satan would start his 3½ year rule, with Armageddon being in the end of 1995. End-time events are now coming together so rapidly that they boggle the mind in thinking about them. REASON #60 We find a significant date which begins on 4 October 1917 – the birth of communism – and what is truly mind boggling is that Ps. 90:10 says that the days of man's years are 70 years. Well, at sunset 3 October 1988 when World War III starts, we find the age of communism to be 70 years, 364 days and 23 hours old. Communism never reaches its 71st birthday before the world war which destroys communism has started. Please read carefully what I have found. In the book, The History of the Civil War in the U.S.S.R. by M. Gorky, on page 182-186, it is pointed out that about 7 PM on 17 October 1917, Lenin arrived at the meeting of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Revolutionaries, and at that time Lenin and the Bolshevik Central Committee adopted by a vote of 19 votes affirmative, two votes against, and four abstentions that all preparation be made to take Russia by force. This was the birth of communism as we know it. Now Lenin was to arrive at 6 PM, but in the process of avoiding two policemen, Lenin arrived at 7 PM instead and convened the meeting of the Central Committee. This resolution of Lenin's that energetic preparation be made for the insurrection was adopted at that 7 PM meeting. Therefore, we are dealing with the date 17 October 1917, and when the Russian government discontinued the Julian Calendar and adopted the Gregorian calendar they did the following: they took the then 14 January 1920 on the Julian calendar and called it 1 January 1920 on the Gregorian calendar, in order to be in step with the rest of the world, calendar-wise. 36 Therefore they backed up 13 days and completely removed 13 days from existence. Now if you go to 17 October 1917 at 7 PM and completely lose 13 days to get the Julian calendar in step with the Gregorian calendar, we are a 4 October 1917 at 7 PM; thus this meeting of Lenin and the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Revolutionaries took place on the Gregorian calendar on 4 October 1917 at 7 PM and this was the actual birth of Russian communism as we know it today. At 7 PM on 4 October 1917 on the Gregorian calendar, the die was cast to create a communist state in Russia by force. Thus at 7 PM on 4 October 1917, the Soviet Socialist State

was born in the minds of those who would lead it for the next 71 years. God sure must not like the date 4 October. Maybe Eve took a bite of the forbidden fruit on that day, 4 October. Thus at sunset 3 October1988, when the Jewish day 4 October 1988 starts, we have Syria invading Israel at sunset (6PM), Israel only gets 13 days peace from the Seven-Year Peace Pact they just signed and, because Syria is part of the Warsaw Pact, this is what draws in Russia at sunrise the next morning to cover the skyline like a cloud (with paratroopers). It all ends before sunset 4 October1988 (6PM) so that the seven-year wood burning of Ezek. 39:8-9 may start. Now notice this: 7 PM on the Jewish Day 4 October 1988 occurs one hour after sunset of 6 PM on 3 October 1988. Thus from 4 October 1917 at 7 PM to 4 October 1988 at 7 PM is 71 years exactly; but notice World War III starts at sunset of 6 PM, exactly one hour before the 71 st birthday mark is reached. Thus Russian communism is 70 years, 364 days and 23 hours old by the clock of the day when World War III starts that destroys communism as we know it forever. Although, a remnant of Russia does fight Antichrist at midweek, this war destroys Russia completely. REASON #61 On October 4, 1988, Gregorian calendar at 5 PM when World War III ends in Israel, communism as a government will be 70 years, 364 days and 23 hours old, and by then will have been destroyed by God as a nation. They never reach 7 PM 4 October 1988, the hour which starts their 71st birthday without World War III already starting which destroys them. Ps. 90:10 says 70 years are the days of a man's years. Now that is just beautiful timing in anybody's language. (Ezek. 39:9). Notice this, that World War III only last 23 hours in Israel. Russia and her allies are completely destroyed by the two witnesses. The little nation of Israel does no fighting in this war. All fighting is done by God through His two witnesses. 37 (Moses and Elijah). And from that moment on, Israel knows their God. Also many nations, from that moment on, know God (see Ezek. 38:23; 39:6-8, 21-22). According to Is. 18:6, World War III will not end for the United States and Russia until the first day of summer 1989; or sunset 19 June 1989, the last shot of World War III will have been fired. Mainland United States will be completely destroyed, but ships and bases around the world will continue fighting to June 19, 1989. that the Jewish day 4 October starts at sunset 3 October, while each Gentile day starts midnight. REASON #62 (NON-BIBLICAL) A Washington-based “Think Tank” has warned that the Soviet Union plans to destroy the United States with a surprised nuclear attack in 1988. This “Think-Tank” further says that Russia's plans for world domination will be carried out somewhere between 1987 and 1993, with the year 1988 as the primary target date for these reasons: 1. The Russian military will have achieved its maximum potential and readiness for a complete and worldwide takeover. 2. In these years Russia believes that the United States will be suffering from a deep depression like the 1930's. 3. Russia believes we will be preoccupied with a horrendous political election year. 4. The Russian Orthodox Church will be celebrating its 1,000th birthday in 1988, and the Russian government believes that the Russian people can be rallied to fight a Holy War on behalf of the Russian Orthodox Church. The Russia would be so out in the open about their plans to attack the United States in 1988 (1987 thru 1993) goes back to Yuri Andropov. Yuri Andropov, the Russian leader who died recently, had instructed the Communists Central Committee of Russia (Russia's leaders) that Russia (communism) would be very out in the open with their plans about attacking the capitalists world (the United States).Andropov said (and I saw this speech carried on a nationwide television) “That the Russian would be very out in the open in their plans to attack the capitalists world – like

Edgar Allan Poe's Purloined Letter”. (in Poe's Purloined Letter, the secret letter was safe because it was laying on his desk top while his files were being searched for the letter; because the letter was out in the open, they didn't think to look for it there.) 38 Andropov continues to say, “That Russia would put all their plans out in the open, so out in the open, that no one would believe that they were going to carry them out. The Defense Department documents say that if we are attack before the harvest (the food harvest in October and November) that the crop for the year would be destroyed (this would lead to greater starvation during the following nuclear winter). So if the Rapture happened before the World War III (4 October 1988), millions of people from the United States will be in that Rapture, thus leaving the United States at the weakest point in all its history and ready for attack. With the people gone from all walks of life, the United States would be in confusion from the loss of this many people all at once, and this would be on 11, 12, or 13 September 1988 before the harvest, before the national elections in November and before the World War III 23 days after the Rapture on 4 October 1988. Now Lenin is the Communism's god and the communist Manifesto is the communism's bible. If Lenin directed the communists to lull the capitalists to sleep with a peace overture that they couldn't refuse, and then to smash them to bits with an iron fist, you can believe that the communists leaders will do exactly what he said. Gorbache is public relation expert with a wide smile to get the peace overture to the capitalist nations started. REASON #63 (Joe Civelli) An interesting observation is in regard to Ps. 88, 91, and 94, which correspond to the first year, middle and last year of the Tribulation. As we know from the Scriptures, the Antichrist will be revealed at the beginning of the Tribulation when he enters into a peace covenant with Israel for seven years. He will then break the covenant in the middle of the Tribulation with the “abomination of desolation” and then attack Israel. He is finally stopped at the end of the Tribulation by Jesus' Second Coming. There is an unusual correlation between these three Psalms and this Antichrist activity. In Ps. 88, the number 88 means “pach” in Hebrew, which means “trap” or “pit”. In verse 3 and 4, Israel is shown as being close to death, about to go into the trap or pit. The Antichrist covenant with Israel is, in reality, the setting of a trap through which he plans the genocides of the Jews. In Ps. 91 verse 3,we again find the word “pach” or trap in “the snare of the fowler.” In this case, the Antichrist springs the trap on Israel, the “abomination of desolation”, which 39 he set 3½ years earlier. In Ps. 94 verse 13, we find the word “pach” once again in, “until the pit he digged for the wicked.” In verse 23, we find that the one who set the trap in Ps. 88, springs the trap in Ps. 91, is now caught in it himself. I find this correlation and prophetic implications inescapable. These three Psalms clearly depict the rise, work and fall of the Antichrist and when it should happen. Ps. 88 also says, “shall the dead rise and praise thee?” The question mark was inserted by the translator because he did not realize the age was speaking of the Rapture. A Hebrew scholar informs us that could also have been an exclamation point. REASON #64 The United States is already judged financially, CNN news on June 30, 1988 said the U.S. was the largest creditor nation in 1982, and now in 1988 it is the largest debtor nation. We have gone from being the head to tail in just 6 short years. Our money is worth less, backed by nothing except the promise of a bankrupt nation. The Japanese have already said on TV you cannot fight a war on credit card. Don't you know that the Russians are

aware of this too. REAON #65 At the end of eight-day Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, which ends at sunset 3 October 1988, World War III starts. This is the start of the Jewish day 4 October 1988. It is exactly seven solar years or seven Gentile calendar years to 4 October 1995, the Day of Atonement 1995 (the day of Armageddon). This is the seven years that God s for seven years of wood burning of the Russian weapons of the Gog-Magog War which starts World War III between the United States and Russia (see Ezek. 39:9-10). REASON #66 (Virginia Galli) ISRAEL IS GOD'S TIMEPIECE Israel is a key to this whole scenario. You are going to see how time begins, ends and moves with the nations of Israel. You have notice how our news events seem to be constantly bringing our attention to the Middle East in these last days. And that's just where God wants it. He wants you to be aware of what is happening in the world. He told us about these events in scripture. 40 He commands us to “watch, so that day wouldn't come upon you unaware.” So we were to be observing, and there is no better place to be looking than the Middle East. REASON #67 (NON-BIBLICAL) Israel became a nation on Friday 14 May 1948. Already we have seen that Jesus' birthday by God was considered to be His conception in Mary by the Holy Spirit, the beginning of Jesus' 280-day gestation count, from sunset Saturday 23 December 5 B.C., the beginning of the Jewish Sunday 24, December 5 B.C. Using the same reasoning , the birthday of the United States (Gentile Israel) would be the first day the Constitutional Congress convened to write the U.S. Constitution, and that was 14 May 1787. The Constitutional Congress convened from 14 May 1787 to Friday 14 September 1787, exactly four months to write and sign the Constitution of the United States of America. On Monday 17 September 1787, the final two or three signatures to the Constitution of the United States of America were added, making 17 September 1787 given as the final day, but 14 September 1787 was the real final day The last signatures were not required by law but were needed to make it unanimous, Jesus said four months and then the harvest. Therefore, on Friday, 14 May 1948, modern physical Israel was born in the United Nations. And on Monday 14 May 1787 , Modern Spiritual Israel, the United States was conceived (born in the mind of God) as its Constitutional Congress convened. The two dates 14 May for the above exact beginnings for both the United States and Israel, plus the four months to complete the Constitution, is too much of a coincidence. Seemingly unrelated dates and times falling perfectly together in a pattern is the continual hallmark of the Hand of God. REASON # 68 Also notice that from Israel's 40th birthday on May 14, 1988, it is exactly 120 days to the start of Rosh-HashAna at sunset 11 September 1988. As a Gentile counts, (John 4:35, 4 months, 120 days to harvest) there are 120 days to 11:59 P.M., 11 September 1988. Rosh-Has-Ana starts at sunset (6 P.M.) 11 September 1988. At the end of the count of 120, judgment comes: either 120 days or 120 years. It was true in the 120 years the first three kings ruled Israel (Saul, 40 years; David, 40 years; and 41

Solomon, 40 years) and it was true of the 120 years that totalled the three wicked generations (40 years with Moses in the desert; 40 years from 30 to 70 A.D. of which Jesus spoke; and the 40 wicked years from the last wicked generation – 1948-1988). REASON #69 The United States is Gentile Israel, and every blessing and every curse in the Bible applies to Gentile Israel (the United States) just as strongly as it applies to national Israel.Besides Deut. 28, consider the parallel betwee the birthdays of the United States and Israel, as explained in Reason # 67. REASON #70 Counting Dec. 9, 1917, the day General Allenby conquered Jerusalem, as day #1, to the last day of the 70th year (a righteous generation), would be Dec. 8, 1987, the day President Reagan signed the INF Treaty. Add the 280 day gestation period, and you end up on Rosh-Hash-Ana, Sept. 12, 1988. “For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not engage.” (I Thess. 5:3). REASON #71 The 2,570 count of the 70th week of Daniel from 1988 to 1995 is very unique of God. This is the only time in all of history that is could possibly occur, past or future. The yearly lunar cycles are themselves vey unique. The days of the week limitations that the seven Feast of Israel cannot occur on, add additional uniqueness. The matching of the lunar cycles to the solar cycle by requiring 30-day leap months to be added every few years provide more uniqueness. Then having six different years in the lunar year, each with a different count of days, again add uniqueness, and finally, once the 70th week was selected, God added the count of days between events and defined those events in Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation over hundred of years. Thus the duplication of the 70th week of Daniel is impossible. Then God added the current events of the times to further limit the period or time of its occurrence. This is the only possible time in all the history of the universe that it could ever occur, and God said that He would not tarry. (Heb. 10:37) 42 REASON #72 12/9/1917 (General Allenby 12/8/87 (INF Treaty) Conquered Jerusalem)

9/12/88 (Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988)

Exactly 70 years (Ps. 90:10)

(Gestation Period)

REASON #73 In 602 B.C. Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the idol with the head of gold. This date (602 B.C.) came from The New Scoffield Bible. Page 897 of the 1967 edition, copyrighted in 1967 by Oxford University Press, Inc., a note. “T” to Daniel, chapter 2, verse 1. Daniel 2:1 shows that the dream of the idol with the head of gold occurred in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, and note “T” verified that year to be 602 B.C. In Lev. 26:18,28 and Romans 11:25, God told Israel that if Israel did not obey God, that He (God) chastise Israel seven times (that is 7 x 360 year which is equal 2,520 years in all) for Israel's sins against God. Thus we have the 2,520-year rule of Gentiles over Israel. Therefore, 602 B.C. less the 70 years of the Babylonian captivity equals 532 B.C.; and 532 B.C. less 2,520 years equals 1988 as the end of the times of the Gentiles. So to here we have shown that Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 is the exact end of the Church Age (11, 12 or 13

September 1988). And we have shown that sunset 20 September 1988 (the start of the Day of Atonement 1988) is the end of this present Church Age. Thus sunset 20 September 1988 is also the end of times of the Gentiles, while Armageddon (the Day of Atonement) on 4 October 1995 is the end of the fulfillment of the times of the Gentiles (Luke 21:24). And the times of the restitution of all things is 4 October 1995, when Jesus arrives on earth (Acts 3:21) at the Mount of Olives (Zech. 14:4). REASON #74 30 A.D. - 1988 ...since Jesus death in 30 A.D., 40 Jubilee cycle will have 43 ed by 1988. It appears that God has given the world 40 Jubilees to accept Jesus as its Lord and Savior. Has the world accepted Jesus or will it do so by 1988? Sadly, no. Therefore, the world's punishment should commence in 1988. The world will pay for its continued rejection of Jesus for seven terrible years where over ¾ of its population of 6 billion people will perish. Jesus, in His mercy, will return on the Feast of Atonement in 1995, “else no flesh should be saved.” (Matt. 24:22). REASON # 75 (J. R. Church) Ps. 81:87 are seven good years, or seven good Psalms. 88 – 94 are the gloomiest Psalms in the Bible; seven bad years. In fact. Ps. 88 is terrible with the exception of the short age referring to the dead will arise. Throughout the Psalms, the phrase “how long, Lord?” is continually being noticed. Ps. 94 has the “how long?” - does this seem significant to you? REASON #76 (Joe Civelli) There is a direct correlation between the seven-days of creation and the number of years of man's existence. Ps. 90:4 says that 1000 years is as a day to the Lord. II Peter 3:8 says that one day is as 1000 years to the Lord (and 1000 years as one day). Heb. 4:4-6 & 9 say that the Lord's day of rest on the seventh day of creation equals the 1000 years Millennial rest for His people. If the seventh day of the Lord's creative week is 1000 years, then the other six days of creation must be 1000 years, each for a total of 7000 years. Bible history and genealogical tables show that from Adam to Jesus was 4000 years. Since the last 1000 years of the 7000 represents the Millennial rest, Jesus should return 6000 years from the birth of Adam. The Chronological Bible gives Adam's creation by God as Friday, 3975 B.C., and states that Adam was created at approximately 30 years of age. So 3975 B.C. less 30 years equals 4005 B.C. as the year Adam would have been born of a woman. And from 4005 B.C. to 1995 A.D. is 6000 years or six days with God, and the year that the seventh day (called the Millennium) would be expected to start. So if the Millennium would start in 1995, then the 70th week of Daniel would have to start seven years earlier in 1988 in order to be completed on time. REASON #77 (Virginia Galli) The Lord said in the last days we would see knowledge increase. There 44 has been an explosion of knowledge! It is a fact that our knowledge is being doubled every two years. We have come into more knowledge in the last generation (since Israel became a nation) and have learned more in the last thirty-seven years that we have from the time of Adam until then (1948). Technology has been formed which will blow this earth to smithereens in a moment. All this has come about in these last few short years, (this generation).

REASON #78 Matt. 24:3-8 speaks of wars, famines, and earthquakes in the end-time. There have always been wars, but none like those of the 20th century. There were 10 million people killed in World War I, 50 million in World War II, and 16 million since the end of the World War II in many minor wars. Today, over 40 countries are at war, and the other half are experiencing some type of revolution, be it political, religious or racial. With the advent of nuclear weapons, a future world war would be catastrophic. We are on a callision course, and the world will see nuclear war on sunset October 3, 1988. This probably is the reason that Jesus stated in Matt. 24:22; “...except theose days should be shortened, there should be no flesh saved...” REASON #79 (Viriginia Galli) According to data from the Strasbourge Observatory in , eartrhquakes have increase at an unprecedented high rate in the twentieth century: it has been recording them since the thirteenth century. The world has a major earthquake at least once a month. Frequent quakes measuring over 6 on the Richter Scale are no longer uncommon, and smaller tremors occur daily, with the intensity increasing each time. Recent statistics say that ove one million people have been killed in this century. REASON #80 In regard to famines, it can be mentioned that there have never been such famines as we are witnessing today. Over 8,600 people starve to death each day. That equals over 25 million a year, and 60% of the world population goes to bed hungry each night. We are just now realizing the world-wide problem of starvation with the news of Ethiopia and other countries being in the forefront. He said famine would be very visible in the last days. 45 REASON #81 (Virginia Galli) Matt. 24:4-5 describes how there will be false christs who will mislead many people before the Tribulation begins. We have seen the likes of Joseph Smith (the Mormons), Mary Baker Eddy (Christian Science), Charles Russell (Jehovah's Witnesses), Rev. Sun Myung Moon (Unification Church), Guru Hahara Ji (Divine Light Mission), Jim Jones, and many others appear on the scene and lead many away from knowing their true Lrd. You may recall the most publicized of all of them, Ali Agca, who recently made an assassination attempt on the Pope, claiming to be Jesus Christ incarnated. REASON #82 On Saturday, 3 January 1987, Benny Hinn made the statement on his television program on Trinity Broadcasting Network that, as of this date, 200 million people in the world now have contracted AIDS virus. Statistician say that the AIDS virus doubles every year. REASON #83 Before the moved of God involving Moses, Pharoah, king of Egypt, was killing the Hebrew babies at birth. Before the moved of God involving Jesus, Herod the Great was killing the Hebrew babies below two years of age in the attempt to kill Jesus. Before the move of God involving the snatching away of the Christian Church called the Rapture (the Second Coming of Jesus), the Supreme Court of the United States approving the killing of babies by abortion. God never lets the killing of the innocent go unpunished. Nor will let God the killing of innocent Jesus on the cross of calvary by Satan go unpunished. Satan will burn in hell for His death. Each time the wicked, who destroyed innocent and spilled innocent blood, have themselves been destroyed and killed. This time it is the government of the United States and this nation that will be destroyed for taking innocent blood. REASON #84

the Hebrew calendar is regulated by a 19-year lunar cycle with six different links of years. There is 353-day, 354-day, and 355-day year. There is also 383-day, a 384-day, and 385-day year. Approximately 7 times 46 every nineteenn years they add a month to their calendar, between March and April, which is when over occurs. The Jews refer to this time as Veadar or Adar II. The end of the Tribulation period must be at the end of a Sabbatical cycle and the following year must be a Jubillee year. Rosh-Hash-Ana 1994/1995 fits both of these criteria. 1994 ends a Sabbatical year and 1995 starts a Jubillee year. Could this be the year that He is setting up His kingdom on earth for a thousand years? The Rapture of the Church will be seven years before the Tribulation. REASON #85 “I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2). Keep in mind that God, in His creation, reserved an empty space in the north (see Job 26:7). John tells us that a mammooth and magnificent city will come down out of heaven (the north) Rev. 21. Qouting from the St. Petersburg Times “One of the most inspiring recent discoveries of astronomers indicates that there is a great empty space in the north in the nebula in the constellation of Orion – a heavenly cavern so gigantic the mind of man cannot comprehend it, and so brilliantly beautiful that words cannot describe it. (See Job 26:7). “These revelations were made possible by gigantic photographic plates which in turn can be further magnified. This increases the vision of man so that he can peer into the depths of the interstellar space and get a glimpse of the vastness of infinity itself. “Prof. Larkin of Mount Lowe Observatory describes these magnificent photographs revealing beauty that cannot be described, and luminous colors that are unlike anything on earth. The appearance is like that of light shining and glowing behind clear clean walls of ivory and pearl, and studded with million of diamonds like shining stars. The colors have ahue peculiar to the Orion and studded around the opening so that they appear as a pavement of starry sand. “Why is all these grandeur lavish upon one spot in the heavens? The immense beauty ... coming closer and closer, and even astronomers, who are not religious, sense something spiritual in what they see.” Could it be the city coming down from God where we will live? REASON #86 (Virginia Galli) After Jesus tells of the condition just prior ro His return (Luke 21:25-35) 47 2 THESSALONIAN 2 Another Look at the Rapture, Chapter 4 Used by Permission from Dr. Roy Hicks There is probably more misunderstanding and confusion sorrounding chapter 2 of Paul's second letter to the Thessalonian church than any other of the writings that dealt with the last days. In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, the portion dealing with the Rapture was to cheer them up concerning the death of their loved ones and to introduce them to the Rapture and resurrection doctrines which Paul had received from the Lord Jesus. His first letter so excited them that he needed to write another to get them down from the ceiling. “His purpose was to let them know that Christ would not be coming back as quickly as they had thought. Some were reporting that Paul was teaching that the Day of the Lord had already come and that the antichrist was taking over. Paul's letter was to refute what others were accusing him of saying. He wanted the thessalonians to know that he was not saying that the Antichrist, the Man of Sin, had already been revealed, nor that the day of the Lord (i.e. the Day of

Judgment) had already come. Paul wanted them toknow that he was not (in our present-day use of the words) “mid-Trib” or “post-Trib.” He went on to prove that it would be impossible for the Man of Sin to be revealed in mid-Tribulation or post-Tribulation because the Restrainer, the One keeping him from taking over, would continue to hold him in check until that the person was removed by God. Then, and only then, could the Antichrist be revealed and take over. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except that there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the Son of Perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonian 2:1-4. Notice in verse 1 of this chapter that Paul is very careful to distinguish the Second Coming of Christ mentioned in 2 Thessalonian 1:7-10, and the Rapture mentioned here and in chapter 4 of this letter. Our gathering together unto him is the key. In Christ's day of judgment and power He will come back with His saints and His holy angels to punish those who do not obey. In order to come back, they have to first get to heaven.) In verse 2, Paul begins to write about two separate events. The first is mentioned in verse 1: our gathering unto him. The second event is the Day of the Lord, which includes the revealing of the Man of Sin. The “Day of Christ,” as it is called in the King James Version, is understood by all Greek translator to be the Day of the Lord, or the Day of Judgment. Paul never – but never – said, as some have accused, that the Church would experience great suffering and tribulation from the Man of Sin before the Lord would come for her. In the third verse he address the brethren who were deceived into believing that he, Paul, was teaching that the Man of Sin had already been revealed. He said, “That day shall not come, and the Son of Perdition will not be revealed.” This rules out the mid-Tribulation position. Those who believe in mid-Tribulation say that we will know the Man of Sin, for he will be ruling half-way through the seven year span foretold by Daniel in his prophecy, and that if he has a mark, we will know whose mark it is. But Paul is saying that he will 50 not be known. Also Paul said in this third verse that this Man of Sin cannot be revealed except that there come a falling away first. I could never believe that just prior to the Rapture, the Church would completely backslide. It never made sense to me that Christ would return for a Bride who had fallen out of love with Him. (That interpretation is necessary if it is apostasy to which Paul is referring here.) I it that I did not understand this verse, nor the meaning of the message of Christ to the seventh church, the church of Laodiceans, in Revelation. (Rev. 3:14-22) But I have since discovered that there are two ways to interpret the Greek word apostasia (translated in this third verse as “falling away”). Because of that discovery, I have experienced a renewed interest in the things the Apostle Paul had to say about the Church during the last days before the Rapture. Now this word apostasia is interpreted by some scholars to mean “falling away” or “rebellion.”However, the other interpretation of the word by excellent Greek scholars is “departure.” Tyndale, for example, translated it this way in his first translation of Greek to English. Greek scholars agree that to pinpoint the true meaning of Greek noun, it is necessary to look at the verb from which that noun is derived. The Greek noun apostasia comes from the root verb aphistemi, meaning “to go away, depart, remove.” This root verb is used fifteen times in the Bible, and in only three of those times does it speak of falling away. It is most often translated “depart,” and usually refers to “one person departing from another person or place.” I had the privilege of consulting several Bibles from the fifteenth century. Some of them present 2 Thessalonian 2:3 as follows: Let no man deceive you by any meanes for (that day shall not come), except there come a departing first, and that that man of sinne be disclosed, (even the sonne of perdition... (Geneva Bible). Let no man deceive you by eny meanes, for the Lorde shall not come excepte there come a departyng first, and that synful man be opened, the sonne of perdicion... (Great Bible) Let no man deceave you by any meanes, for the Lorde cometh not, excepte there come a departyng first, and that the synful man be opened, the sonne of perdicion... (Tyndale). Then we come to the translation of an excellent, widely recognized commentator, Kenneth S. Wuest. In The New Testament – An Expanded Translation, Mr. Wuest Translates 2 Thessalonian 2:3 as follows: Do not begin to allow anyone to lead you astray in any way, because that day shall not come except the aforementioned

departure (of the Church to heaven) comes first and the man of the lawlessness is disclosed (in his true identity), the man of perdition... The definite article occurring before the word apostasia makes it apply to a particular departure, one known to the writer and recipients of the letter. John Dawson, A.B., indicates that apostasia means a departure from any place. John Lineberry, B.A., translates 2 Thessalonians 2:3 thusly: Do not begin to let anyone beguile you in any way, because that day will not come (day of the Lord) except there come the departure (Rapture of the Church first) and the man of lawlessness be revealed (unveiled, uncovered) the son of perdition (eternal misery, doom and destruction). The following is a list of others who use the word departure: Coverdale (1535) Crammer (1539) Beza (1565) Rev. J. R. Major, L.L.D. (1825) Robert Baker, Breechers Bible (1615) John Parkhurst (1851) Lexicon – London 51 “Properly, a departure.” Third meaning: “A divorce or dimission.” Robert Scott (1811-1887 Oxford Press) Second meaning: “Departure, disappearance.” James Donnegan, M.D., Greek/English Lexicon The Amplified Bible, New Testament footnote These excellent Greek scholars and commentators gives us sufficient evidence to know of a certainty that this Greek apostasia can be rightfully translated in more ways than one; “departure” best fits into context. I will be happy to acknowledge that our hope in the pre-Tribulation Rapture does not hinges on how one Greek word is translated, but this translation certainly ties in beautifully with the rest of the chapter. And now ye know what witholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. Most Bible commentators agree that “he who now letteth” (the One Who now restrains the Antichrist from appearing) is the Holy Spirit. It will now be necessary to take the space here to relate all those who believe this, and why, but there are many. The Holy Spirit is the life (zoe) for the Church. In John 14:16 Jesus promised the Church that when the Holy Spirit came, He would abide with you forever. So, when He is taken out of the way (v. 7), we have to go with Him, for without Him we have no life. John 6:63 states: It is the Spirit that quickeneth (Gr. zoopoieo, “to make alive, give, life, quicken”). If the Holy Spirit stepped aside to allow the Antichrist to be revealed before the Rapture, then all the spiritual life in the Church would ceased. And if the Holy Spirit left without us, the Scripture would be broken, for Jesus promised that He, the Holy Spirit, would abide with us forever. Some have held that the Antichrist is holding himself back from being revealed. In his commentary Dr. T.J. McCrossan says that anyone suggesting such a thing is utterly ignorant of Greek grammar. No, it isn't the Antichrist restraining himself. Others holding the post-Tribulation position say that the “he” of verse 6 refers to the Roman government. If the Roman government had been the one restraining the Antichrist, he would have taken over when Roman fell. This restrainer is a person, not a form of government. In order to be able to hold back the Antichrist, this person must be bigger and stronger than the Antichrist. Therefore, it must be the Holy Spirit. Neither could the restrainer be the Church. The Greek word for the Church is ekklesia, which is of the feminine gender. Greek scholars tells us that there is a hard and fast law in Greek grammar which states that the article and participle must agree in gender, number, and case with the nouns they qualify. Ho katechon (the one holding back) is masculine and therefore refers to the Holy Spirit (also masculine) and not to the Church. Dr. McCrossan's exact translation of Colossians 3:4 states: When Christ, the life of us (he zoe hemon), may be manifested then shall ye (the saints) be manifested together with Him in glory. Until that great day in glory comes, we must rely on the blessed work of the Holy Spirit to sustain us. There could be no life if He were to step aside. Berry's Interlinear-Greek New Testament gives the literal meaning of “taken out” as “out of the midst he be gone.” How could He just step aside when his presence fills the earth? No, when He is “taken out,” He will be taken out completely, and we will be gathered to the Lord with Him. At that time, Satan will have full power (dunamis) in the world. As of now, since the Cross, he has only limited power (exousia). Satan will give his unrestrained power to Antichrist. The church cannot be here when that happens, because it

would violate Matthew 18:18: Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loose in heaven. The Church left on earth

52 without the Holy Spirit could no longer have the power to bind and loose because the Antichrist will have full power when he rules and deceives. It is regrettable that so much confusion have arisen from Paul's second letter to the church in Thessalonica. Just as Paul was falsely interpreted in his day, so the problem continues. There are many well-known radio and television personalities proclaiming that the Church will either go half-way or all the way through the Tribulation. The confusion arises when Paul's special revelation of the Rapture of the Church is combined with Matthew 24 (which describes the destruction of the Jewish temple) and Daniels prophecy of the end times. Daniel 9:27 describes the seventieth week – seven years of horror. This time period is also described in Rev.; the first three and one-half years will be peaceable, but the second three and one-half years will be a holocaust greater than anything man has ever witnessed. Paul did not say then, nor does the Bible teach that Paul was saying, that we, the Church, will be there when the Antichrist is manifested. Lk. 21:36 says: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be ed worthy TO ESCAPE all these things that shall come to , and to stand before the Son of Man. The Greek word ekphuego which is translated here “to escape” means “to escape clean away from.” And, no, the Church is not perfected by Tribulation. Dearly beloved, don't buy this nonsense. If the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, does not qualify you for heaven, then having your head cut-off, dying of starvation, or suffering in prison will not qualify you either. this truth: all of the thief on the cross needed to make himself worthy to be with Jesus was to say, me (Lk. 23:42). In other words, “I believe in You and want to go with You.” That simple faith qualified him for heaven, and equally so, it qualifies every person who has accepted Christ for 2,000 years. All the dead saints who have gone before us, having put their trust in Jesus' blood, will come back with Him to get their bodies and will ascend ahead of us. They did not need the Antichrist to take over in order to get them ready, and neither do we. They did not have to have a special work done in them to ready them for the Rapture, and neither do we. There is no difference in the eyes of God between a dead saint and a living one. Everyone there will be present because of the blood atonement of our Lord Jesus. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. Rom. 5:9 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12 Abraham believed God and God counted him to be righteous. (Rom. 4:3) That is all he needed, and is all we need. Reader, believe in Him ...trust in Him ...Received Him as your Lord and Savior, if you desire to go up with the saints of all ages when He comes for His Bride. One final word about the concept using the word departure instead of falling away. Peter's sermon on the day of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit refers to Joel 2:28,29. He said, It shall come to in the last days (Acts 2:17). What shall come to in the last days? A great falling away? Never, no, never! What will come to , even beginning them, is a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit on all flesh. A person who insists on the use of “falling away” in 2 Thes. 2:3 and who sees the Church in rebellion has contradicted Peter's sermon. No, do not prepare for the Antichrist. Prepare your heart to meet Jesus and witness.

THE DATE IS NEEDED TO PREPARE I always wondered what it would take to get the Church ready for the Lord's return. What big truth would bring her to perfection (without a spot or wrinkle)? It is so simple; the bride would be given an approximate date of her wedding, just as any bride needs a date in order to prepare. What else would make her ready on time? It's no wonder the devil didn't want us to know that we could know. 1 John 3:3 says, “He that has this hope purifieth himself.” The devil knew we would get ready. that you can make a difference; God is not looking for ability, only availability! And don't be afraid of persecution, it goes with the territory. If he was persecuted, so will you be, for “the servant is not greater than his master” (John 13:16). In fact, if you aren't running into the enemy from time to time, perhaps you are

walking with him, instead of against him. He expect us to go forth and be a laborer for Him; to start picking that great, great harvest. The time is short, and he needs us all. Never be deceived regarding the Lord's return, that you may lose out on His coming. Understand He is coming for a Church that is waiting for Him. He is not going to be bothered with those who are not looking for Him. In fact, He said He is coming for those who are looking for His appearing (Heb. 9:28, Tit. 2:13). The word “looking” in the Greek here means “to be eagerly awaiting.” Are you eagerly awaiting? What can possibly take the place of our Lord Jesus Christ coming for His Bride? He says, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, not has it entered the heart of man, those things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Cor. 2:9)

HALLELUJAH!! Study to show thyself approved. We encourage you to read this book through several times. We encourage you to share it with your loved ones and friends. We have seen several people accept Christ and others change from complacency to God fearing and God seeking Christians. You are aware of the events. If you do not sound the alarm and help make the Church aware of this, their blood will be 54 on your hands. You may say “well what if it doesn't happen?” I believe any responsible Christian that is concerned with the eternal salvation of souls had rather distribute this book and it not happen than to not to not distribute the book and it happen. The only results of distributing this book will be to bring people closer to Jesus and prepare His Bride. Those who watch for His return will purify themselves.

A MESSAGE TO THE UNITED STATES Once you are conceived (and I did not say born), you are going to live forever. The only question is where: heaven or hell?That is all decided in this lifetime. Even if you are as rich as Rockefeller (and John D., the first, had about 35 billion dollars in today's buying power) and you don't make it to heaven, then you were not successful in this lifetime. All Christians are missionaries, and only what you do for Jesus is all that counts. I find several hundred references to the United States in the Old Testament alone. This may seem high, but I know there are many of them.

One of two things is evident: either God had already said it, or God was silent concerning two thousand years of history. 55 Israel, as a people, was created to take God's message of salvation to the world; but Israel kept God's message to itself. And with idols, Israel also badly sinned against God. The United States, as a people dedicated to God (a Gentile nation), was then to take God's message of salvation to the world. But the United States kept God's message to itself to the extent that 2.4 billion people in the world today have yet to hear the name of Jesus. With idols, the United States also badly sinned against God. There would be no purpose serve in God rewriting the Old Testament as a history of God's ways for the Gentile people. The Old Testament could just as easily serve as a lesson plan to show the Gentiles what happens to those, once faithful, who desert God and serve the idols of this world. So every single blessing God gave to Israel when they obeyed Him was also given to the United States when its people obeyed God. And every single curse of God given to Israel when they disobeyed God was also given to the United States when its people disobeyed God – word for word, sentence for sentence, blessing for blessing, curse for curse. Nuclear winter will last five years in the northern third (60 degrees) of the earth (which covers the United States) from statements made by Carl Sagan on Nuclear Winter, plus additional statements made in the Bible. We also know the whole continent will be as dark as midnight 24 hours a day for this entire five-year period, with temperatures never rising above zero fahrenheit. Mass starvation and unburied bodies will result. The Department of Defense expects the destruction to be so complete that you can walk from Little Rock to Dallas over ashes only. All food will be gone; all water will be radioactive, except for underground water. 56

The Bible Dates of The 70th Week of Daniel • Armageddon • The Millennium Edgar C. Whisenant

Seven Questions To Ask Yourself 1) Do you believe this is the time of the end?

2) Didn't God say to Daniel His prophecies would be sealed till the time of the end? (Dan. 12:9) 3) Didn't Jesus say that the generation who saw Israel restored as a nation would be the same generation that would see Him return with great power and glory? (Ezk 36:8; Matt. 24:32; Mark 13:28) 4) Do you realize 1988 is Israel's 40th anniversary as a nation? 5) Didn't Peter say there will be mocking and scoffers in the last days who will be willingly ignorant of His coming? (2 Peter 3:3) 6) Didn't Paul say exhort one another and so much more as you see the day approach? (Heb. 10:25) 7) Do you know His voice? Didn't Jesus say I know my sheep, and Am known of Mine? (John 10:14)

Seven Scriptural Facts 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

Amos 3:7: Surely the Lord will reveal His secret to His servants the prophets. Ps. 25:14: The Lord confides in those who fear Him. Matt. 13:11: It is given to you to know the mysteries of heaven. Ps. 90:12: Teach us to number our days and apply our hearts to wisdom. I Thess. 5:4,6: You are not in darkness that this day should surprised you like a thief.Watch for His return and be sober. 6) John 14:3: I go and prepare a place for you; where I am, you may be also. 7) II Tim. 2:15: Study to show thyself approved, that you might correctly handle the word of truth.

Watchman (Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists, and Saints) “When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men, and make him their watchmen, and he sees the sword coming against the land and blow the trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet, but does not take the warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning he would have saved himself. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman able for his blood” (Ezek. 33:2-6) ©Edgar C.

WHY THE FAITHFUL WILL NOT BE SURPRISED Perhaps the most ignored or disbelieved verse in the whole Bible is I Thess. 5:4: “But you, brothers (speaking to the Church), are not in darkness so that this day (the Rapture) should surprised you.” Jesus states in Matt. 24:36, 25:13, and Mark 13:32 that no man will know the day or the hour of His return (not the week, month or year). God told the Jew the exact time the Messiah was to be cut-off in Dan. 9:25,26. Would He do less for the Church than He did for the Jew? Heb. 10:25 says we will see the day approaching. God, in the last years of the Church Age, has let the Church know the year and the month and the week. The Body of Christ is being given time to get ready to meet the Bridegroom, but the exact time of the Rapture will remain unknown to those who are caught up in the world's affairs. There is a special Watchers Crown for those who are watchingfor His return. (II tim. 4:8).

Every event of the 70th week of Daniel (the Seven-Year Tribulation Period) and every event of the Millennium were calculated by God to begin and end at specific points in time. Only the exact day and hour of Jesus' return for His Church is unknown.1 (Ps. 90:12, Isa. 42:9) The King James translation of the Bible gives two limitations to Jesus' return for the Church: “the day and the hour” (Matt. 24:36), and “the time and the seasons” (Acts 1:7, I thess. 5:1). The NAB translation, however puts these Scriptures in a different light. Acts 1:7 in this version reads “the exact times is not yours to know.” I Thess. 5:1 reads “as regards specific times and specific moments we (the Apostles) do not need to write to you.” The times and the seasons were not a limitation in the original Greek manuscritps.2 This mis-translation has hindered the Church from knowing the truth in this last generation about the times of the Lord's return for His faithful. Many have not read their Bibles closely enough to see by God's word the that tradition has been wrong. God, now in these times, has revealed to man all the details of the 70 th week of Daniel, the Millennium and the nesw heaven and 1 The Jew calls Sept. 12, 1988 the date of Rosh-Hash-Ana. The celebration, however, is 48 hours long and covers parts of three days, from sunset, Sept. 11 to sunset, Sept. 13. 2 There is a Greek phrase used in Acts 1:7 which means specific. The phrase “the times and the seasons” in this age contains the “specific” mark in the original manuscritp which was left out of the King James translation. The New American Bible translation has retained this mark and the ages reads “the exact time is not yours to know.” This implies that there are only two limitations to our knowing when Jesus will return for the Church: the day and the hour. We will, therefore, know the times and the seasons. The New American Standard translation uses the word epoch, meaning precise date.

1 the new earth.Daniel says it is sealed till the time of the end. When the 70 th week occurs, no man can say it happened without warning. However, in accuracy, this answer that “it is not for you to know the times and the seasons” is an answer to the Jewish question ask by Jewish apotles to the Jewish Messiah “will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6) The question had nothing to do with the Rapture. The Rapture was not revealed to the Church until I Cor. 15:51 when Paul the Apostles revealed the mystery of the Rapture to the Church first at Corinth at least 20 years later after the crucifixion of Jesus. In my research notes, 14 Bible examples that never in the entire history of man were the righteous of God ever surprised when the wrath of God descended on the wicked. Fourteen examples are given below: 1) Noah knew seven days in advance (See Gen. 7:4) 2) Lot knew the day before (see Gen. 19:12) 3) The Israelites in Moses's day had blood over the door when the death angels killed the Egyptian first born (Ex. 12) 4) At Jesus' crucifixion the Jew should not have been surprised (see Daniel 9:25,26) 5) The ancient Jewish bride was not surprised. She heard the shout given ½ block away. 6) No surprised for the faithful. (I Thess 5:4) 7) You see the day approach; no surprised. (Heb. 10:25) 8) Unfaithful surprised; so fiathful not surprised. ( Rev. 3:3, NIV) 9) The virgins not surprised. (Amos 25:6) 10) Prophets told first; no surprised (Amos 3:7) 11) Before they spring forth I tell you of them. (Isa. 42:9) 12) The Lord confides in those who fear Him. He makes His covenant known to them. (Ps. 25:14) 13) It is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 13:11). 14) And none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. (Dan. 12:10) Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the Lord, which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord. (Jer. 9:23-24) 2

THE MEASURING RODS OF THE END TIMES When I was a child, a preacher said that we have the counts of days in the Bible, but we don't know when they start and end, therefore we can do nothing with them. He also said that when the Antichrist signs the Peace Pact with Israel, we will know that Armageddon is seven years away; and then all the other counts will fit into position, and we will have every event of the 70th week. Did God leave us a clue as to how these pieces fit together? The aim of this book is to cause the reader to know our God better, to see and understand Him, to grow to Him, to know His Messiah Jesus, and to experience His redemption. Rosh-Hash-Ana and the other six Festivals God gave the Jewish people can be compared to a window into heaven. Through them God is seen for all that He is. Even a casual glance at these Holy Days of God will give new understanding concerning Him. The Feasts of Israel were given by God to reveal Himself to us. Like all of Biblical Judaism, they show His nature, His plan, and His Messiah. The seven Feasts are a blueprint by God showing the event for Israel and the Church. “Then said I (the Messiah), Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of Me.” (Ps. 40:7). In order to understand the Seven Feasts in the framework of the Jewish Festivals, the calling of Israel must be dealt with. This is subject many have difficulty with, for calling the Jewish people “The Chosen People” sounds like arrogance. What it means is that Israel has had a job to do. God commissioned Israel to perform a particular task. He does not love Israel more than other nations; His love is universal. But just like God calls each person to play a specific role in his life, He calls nations to play a particular role in history. I was reading Unger's Bible Dictionary one day, and it said that “Many preachers believe that the Lord will come on the Feasts of the Trumpets.” That is when the Jew blows the Shofar trumpet, the ram's horn, for 30days, skips a day, and blow the last trump on Rosh-Hash-Ana. The seven Feasts of Israel, with dates determined by the 19-year lunar cycle provide a way to put together the complete sequence of prophetic events. In the Old and New Testaments, the Feast of Israel were established by God through Moses. They are mark by the rise of the new moon, which establishes the exact time of the events forever. The First Feast is set out in Lev. 23:5. over begins at sunset on the thirteenth day of the first Jewish 3 month, Nisan³. Lev. 23:6-8 details the second Feast, Unleavened Bread, the seven days following over. The third Feast, Firstfruits, is describe in Lev. 23:9-11. It is to be held after the only Sabbath during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is always on Sunday. The fourth Feast, Feast of Weeks, is described beginning in Lev. 23:15. This Feast is called Shavuot by the Jews and Pentecost by Gentiles. This first four Feast are all celebrated in the first half of the Jewish sacred year, which goes from 1 Nisan to 1 Nisan. In this way a Jewish year may be said to go from over to over. The fifth Feast is Rosh-Has-Ana, the Feast of Trumpets. It is given in Leviticus 23:24. Lev. 23:26-32 describes the sixth Feast, the Day of Atonement. The seventh Feast, Tabernacle is given in Lev. 23:33-36. After the death of Jesus they were rearranged by the Sanhedrin so the the Feast of Firstfruits and the Feast of Pentecost, or Shavout, would no longer occur on Sunday and point to Jesus as the Messiah.4 The rabbis hid this because they thought the acceptance of Jesus as Messiah would tear Israel apart as a nation. God gave Israel 40 years of testing and grace from 30 to 70 A.D. When Israel had not turned back to God they were destroyed as a nation in 1948, the time clock began running on the final 40 years of testing. The Seven Feast of Israel are used in three ways to demonstrate God given truths: by the Jew in actual performance of the Feasts and are symbolic of events that will take place in the future; by the Church,in spiritual form, and by God in recognition of Jesus, the Church, and Israel. The Jew actually performed the Seven Feasts of Israel. On over he ate the over lamb in the evening. On Unleavened Bread he cast all leaven out of his house. On Firstfruits he wave the shea of the first fruits before the Lord of the temple. On Pentecost, or Shavout, he celebrated the first harvest, 3 If an event is Jewish, one counts the day as a Jew; that is, with the first day being called day one and starting at sunset the previous evening. A Gentile event is counted with day one beginning the next day. 4 The modern day Jews uses the new moon to set the day for Rosh-Hash-Ana and backs up 163 days to call 15 Nisan over. But the Jew before the time

of Jesus had taken over, 14 Nisan, and made it a preparation day for 15 Nisan. To be correct, the Jew should back-up 164 days from first Tishri to 14 Nisan to get Moses' over. (Lev. 23:5). The modern Jew call 16 Nisan Omer to replace the Feast of Firstfruits. He then goes forward 50 days to get Shavout. These changes throw off the calculation for Firstfruits and thereby keep Shavout from always falling on the day after the Jewish Sabbath. This has kept the Jew from seeing that these Feasts point to Jesus.

4 harvest, called the Feast of Weeks. On Trumpets he celebrated the fall harvest. On Atonement he celebrated the only fast given by God. At this time the high priest entered the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the sins of Israel for the year. On Tabernacles the Jews lived in tent for eight days to celebrate a feast in God's glory. The Seven Feasts of Israel are also applied to the Church in spiritual form as much as they apply to Israel in actual and symbolic form. For over, the Christian accepts the blood of Jesus on the cross as his personal savior as the over Lamb. For Unleavened Bread the Christian is baptized and puts all sin out of his life. For Firstfruits he arises to a new life. For Pentecost he receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit. “When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord, in one place.” (Acts 2:1), For Trumpets he will be Raptured into heaven. For Atonement he will celebrate the end of the ceremony at the Judgment Seat of Christ. For Tabernacles the faithful Church will celebrate this Feast of God's glory with a festival of ingathering of the body of Jesus to the throne room of God. The Seven Feasts tie together the 69th and 70th weeks of Daniel. The first four Feasts signify Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection and the establishment of the Church; the last three signify the Rapture, g the Peace Pact by Antichrist and the arrival of the two witnesses. In recognition of His loved ones, God gave the first three Feasts to Jesus to commemorate His death, burial, and resurrection. The next two Feast were given to the Church to signify its birth and rapture. The last two Feast were given by God to Israel. On the Day of Atonement Antichrist will sign the Peace Pact with Israel to start the 70th week of Daniel, called the Seven-Year Tribulation. On the seventh Feast, Tabernacle 1995, the Jew will recognize Jesus as the Messiah. I Cor. 10:11: “Now all this happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our onition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” Rom. 15:4: “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach, so that through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.” The following ages has often been used by misinformed people to condemn the Sabbath and Festivals. The truth is it tells us they were given to teach on the Messiah, His work, His glory. Therefore let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a Festival or a New Moon or Sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Messiah. (Col. 2:16,17) 5 Wouldn't a person who believes in the Messiah want to participate in the things that are a “shadow of thing to come?” Far from condemning the keeping of the Sabbath, the New Moon and the Festivals, this age seems to be encouraging keeping them. It also confirms that they are given as ways to teach about the Messiah. Paul, who spoke of himself as an Israelites, celebrated the Festivals long after the death and resurrection of Jesus and after he himself was a believer. He wrote to the congregation at Corinth (both Jews and non-Jews): Therefore let us keep the Feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (I Cor. 5:8) Obviously, the believers in the First Century kept the Festivals, or this statement could not have been made. Why did they kept them? There are two reasons: to learn about the Messiah. This is the calling of Israel, especially of those Jewish people who know the Messiah. This is why the study of Rosh-Hash-Ana is necessary. In the Festivals God explains, defines, demonstrates, and reinforces Himself and His plan. All the Feasts in some way teach us about Jesus. Lev. 23 is one the key chapters for unlocking the entire Bible. If one can obtain a good working knowledge of the Festivals, then he will have in his possession God's blueprint for mankind.

THE BIBLE'S MYSTERY UNRAVELLED The major prophecies of all the Old and New Testaments prophets have now been put together. Each prophecy verifies all other prophecies. All the verse in the book of Revelation now have the dates of occurrence assigned by Scripture. We now know which seven years will be the Tribulation. Every major event of the Tribulation is known, as well as the dates on which these events will occur. We know the exact day that the Millennium begins and ends, as well as the dates of the events in between. These events were never restricted from our knowledge, but only the day and hour of our Lord's return for the Church, and that event was limited only to the day and hour, and not the week, month or year. “Surely the sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7) The complete story was told to the prophets, but it took 14 years for a man to put it together. God used the dates of the last three Feasts of Israel in the years 1988 through 1995 to begin and end 6 the counts of days given in the Old and New Testament books of Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation. The lunar dates of the last three Feasts of Israel, will only fit 1988 through 1995. At no other time in history or the future will these Bible counts fit. This is unfakeable and undeniable proof that the 70th week of Daniel, called the SevenYear Tribulation, starts in 1988. The dates of all seven Feasts of Israel given in Lev. 23 are set in the Bible by the new moon each month. The date of Rosh-Hash-Ana, the fifth Feast, swing 39 calendar days over the various lunar cycle and in proportion to Rosh-Has-Ana, they also occur each on a different date every year. Thus the date of all seven Feasts of Israel are different for each Gregorian year. Only the dates of the years 1988 through 1995 match the counts of days given in Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation. Dan. 12:9,10 says, “And he said, go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tested, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and non of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.” God told Daniel in Dan. 9:24 that 70 weeks were placed on Israel to bring an end to sin. Verse 25 and 26 told Daniel that at the end of the 69th week,the Messiah would be killed. With the crucifixion of Jesus in 30 A.D., the 69th week of Daniel was ended, and the Church age began in 30 A.D. Aand ends in Sept., 1988 with the beginning of Daniel's 70th week. God used the seven holiest Feasts of Israel to tie together the 69 th and 70th weeks of Daniel even though there would be 1958 years between the 69th and the 70th week of Daniel. From Pentecost 30 A.D., when the wheat harvest began in Israel, to Day of Atonement, 30 A.D., was exactly 120 days that Jewish calendar year. From Pentecost 30 A.D. Tto the Day of Atonement 1988 is the start of the harvest of the wicked and the end of the Gentile age, the exact end of the age spoken in Matt. 13:39. In Rev. 14:15 the angel is told, “Thrust in thy sickle and reap; for the time has come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” This refers to the harvest of the wicked at midweek that is the exact start of the time of the end. (Dan. 11:40, Dan. 12:1, Matt. 24:14) The time of the end begins with the 50 days of midweek (Rev. 11:15) when Jesus takes legal possession of the earth from Satan. This

time period of the end starts the last three and one-half years of the great Tribulation harvest of the wicked. From Pentecost 30 A.D., when the wheat harvest began in Israel, to Rosh-Has-Ana 1988, when the cotton harvest begins, is the growing time of the Church – 1958 years (a growing season of four months). Jesus said in John 4:35, “For the fields are already white to harvest,” meaning that the harvest of the righteous is already to take place. Let's examine the four month gap between the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) and the Feast of Rosh-HasAna (Trumphets), the first of the “ingathering” group. John 4:35 gives us an explanation for the four month gap

when Jesus said, “Don't say there is still four months until the harvest, Look at the fields, they are ripe and ready for harvest, the Rapture; we should be busy bringing lost people to Him during that time. We must present the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the lost souls and help them come to know, love and serve Jesus. If we don't, they stand a good chance of being cut down, bound up, and thrown into the fire at the final harvest (Rev. 14:16) if they have not accepted Him before their deaths or the final harvest, whichever comes first. In Luke 10:2, Jesus told His disciple before sending them out to preach, “The harvest is truly great but the laborers are few, pray to the Lord of the harvest that He would sent forth laborers into His harvest.” He is talking , fellow Christians. We are needed to help Him make new Christians before its too late. Also, Jesus made it quite clear what He thinks of those of His servants who do not have a burden for the lost and do not actively work to try to bring them to Him. In Matt. 12:30 and Luke 11:23, He reminds us, “He who is not with me is against me” and “He who does not help me gather is really scattering”. This four months period between the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Trupets clearly represents the Church Age. The harvest of cotton that starts at the time of Rosh-Has-Ana is the latter harvest of the year. The former harvest at Pentecost is the wheat harvest and is not white in color. The expression “white unto harvest” is therefore applicable only to the latter harvest of the year. Jesus' comment, “Four more months and then the harvest,” could only apply to the Day of Atonement and the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel. No other time in all history, past, present, or future will fit all the New and Old Testament prophecies perfectly, to the very second time, as the lunar dates

of the seven Feasts of Israel fir from Day of Atonement 1988 to Day of Atonement 1995. According to the Jewish calendar, over cannot occur on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, and Unleavened Bread cannot occur cannot occur on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday. Rosh-Hash-Ana cannot fall on a Friday or Sunday. Tabernacle cannot fall on Saturday. All these dates must agree with the 19-year lunar cycle and the 28-year solar cycle. The Gregorian date of over will swing 39 days and never appear on the same calendar date two years in a row. This puts the dates of the seven Feasts of Israel each on a different calendar date each year. Only in the years1988 through 1995 are the days in the 70th week of Daniel are in agreement with the beginning and ending of the counts of days in Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation. For count of days, see Dan. 12:11, 12; 8:14; Ezek. 39:9; Rev. 12:6, 12; 11:3, 9; 12:14; 13:5. 70 WEEKS OF DANIEL The 70 weeks of Daniel 9:24,25 are not literal weeks, but are symbolic of one day equaling one year, or one week equaling 7 years. The proof of this is in verse 25 where we see it was 483 years till the Messiah was cut-off (crucified). This was exactly 69 weeks of years, not one less or one more, showing a time clock of God here. Verse 26 is speaking of the Church Age because he was cut off (crucified) not for Himself, but for whosoever would believe, and verse 27 shows the final 70th week (seven years) of Daniel, and speaks of the abomination of desolation or the rule of the Antichrist. This last seven years begins on the Day of Atonement, Sept. 21, 1988, to Day of Atonement Oct. 4, 1995. THE LAST GENERATION During World War I, German U-boats has been sinking British ships bringin gunpowder ore from South America. A British chemist, Chaim Weizmann by granting his request that Israel be allowed to reestablish a homeland in Palestine, then under British control. The Balfour Agreement was the start and the last righteous generation that would end in the Rapture of the Church on

9 Rosh-Hash-Ana, the Feast of the Trumpets, 1988.5 Three wicked generations of 40 years each were given in the Bible. The first was the wicked generation which died in the desert in the days of Moses. The second wicked generation was given to Israel by Jesus, from 30 A.D. to 70 A.D. Israel was destroyed by Roman armies and scattered throughout the world. The third 40-year generation is spoken of in Jesus' Olivet Discourse: “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree; as soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near... I tell you the truth. This generation will dertainly not until all things have happened.” (Matt. 24:32-34). The fig tree represents Israel (Jer. 24:4-6). The last wicked generation, who would not repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Messiah, started May 14, 1948, the day Israel became a nation. It will end 40 years later on the Day of Atonement, Sept. 21, 1988, Yom Kippur, 1988. A Jewish rabbi, Meir Kahane, is acutely aware of the 40-year grace period. In an article written Sept. 27, 1985 for the Jewish Press, Rabbi Kahane says that 40 days arise again and again in connection with sin and punishment in the Bible. After qouting examples from Genesis, Jonah, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah, Kahane says, “The state of Israel, which rose up in the year 1948, I am convinced, is the beginning not only of the redemption, but of the grace period granted us. In the very marrow of my bones, I feel that the Almighty, in His infinite mercy and goodness, gives us the final, beseeching opportunity to turn needless suffering into glorious and instant redemption...Forty years tick away” from 1948 to 1988. See REASON #8 in 88 REASONS. ROSH-HASH-ANA 1988 IS THE KEY If Rosh-Has-Ana, 1988 is the date of the Rapture of the Church, the dates of the remaining end-time eventscan now be found. The Rapture will occur sometime during the period of Rosh-Has-Ana, between sunset, Sept. 11 and sunset Sept. 13. The next Feast is ten days later, Day of Atonement, Sept. 21. This day Antichrist will sign the Peace Pact with Israel to start the 70th week of Daniel, also known as the Tribulation. Five days later, Feast of Tabernacles, Sept. 26, the two witnesses will arrive to seal the 144,000 Jewish Christian missionaries. 5 The days of man's year are 70 years (Ps. 90:10.)

10 In order to find the mid-week point of the Seven-Year Tribulation, one must understand that there are 31/2 Jewish years between Rosh-Has-Ana 1988 and over 1992. Each Rosh-Has-Ana cycle is one year, and the remaining Rosh-Has-Ana to over is one-half year.6 The midweek date is then found by adding ten Gentile days to the date of over, April 18. This ten days allows for the time from Rosh-Has-Ana 1988 to Day of Atonement 1988, which is not part of the Tribulation period. This ten-day period at the Judgment Seat of Christ in the first level of heaven following the Rapture, is for the Church's judgment to separate the faithful servant from the wicked servant. At midweek of the 70th week of Daniel, or 31/2 years into the Seven-Year Tribulation, March 12, 1992, Jesus takes legal possession of the earth from Satan. (Rev. 11:15) He does not take physical possession until Armageddon, Oct. 4, 1995, when He physically returns to earth. April 28, 1992 is also spoken of as “the time of the end” in Dan. 11:40 and 12:1-4. This is the start of the time of Jacob's trouble (Jer. 30:7). On this day the idol is set-up in Tribulation Temple for all the world to worship. (Rev. 11:14). (Rev. 9:13-16). Daniel 12:11,12 gives the counts of 1290 and 1335 days which are begun at April 28, 1992. Counting as a Jew, the end of 1290 days will be sunset Nov. 8, 1995, the start of the 45-day judgment of the nations. (Mat.. 25:31-33) This judgment ends at sunset, Dec. 23. The end of 1335 days will also be sunset Dec. 23, 1995, start the Millennium. The Jewish-Christian teacher Zola Levitt has shown that the 280-day human gestation period has

developmental events which coincide exactly with the dates of the seven Feasts of Israel. J. R. Church, a Baptist minister and prophecy teacher in Oklahoma City, has stated that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Samuel were all born on Rosh-Hash-Ana, and that Jesus was born on Rosh-Hash-Ana, Sept. 29, 4 B.C. If it could proved that there were 2000 years between Jesus' birthday and the start of the Millennium, Hos. 6:2 would substantiate that the dates are correct.7 Counting Rosh-Hash-Ana, Sept. 29, 4 B.C. as day 280, the first day of the 6 The Jewish sacred year is from 1 Nisan to 1 Nisan; the Jewish civil year from Rosh-Hash-Ana to Rosh-Hash-Ana. 7 The Jew is to be put down two (prophetic) days with God.

11 40-week 280-days gestation period is sunset, Dec. 23, 5 B.C. to sunset, Dec. 23, 1995, the end of the 1335 th day of Daniel, is 2000 years, sunset to sunset, ing Hosea 6:2 to the exact second. The third day in Hos. 6:2is the 1000-year Millennial rule.

DANIEL'S VISION: THE IDOL WITH THE HEAD OF GOLD Dan. 2:32-33 speaks of his vision of the idol which has much significance in prophecy. It is described as follows: a head of gold, chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, legs of iron and feet of clay and iron. In prophecy, the head is interpreted to be Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian empire, chest and arms the MedoPersian Empires, belly and thighs Greece under Alexander the Great, legs the eastern and western Roman Empires, iron feet a ten-nation Arab kingdom of dictatorship, clay feet a ten-nation European democracy, and the ten toes ten Russian satellite nations (Rev. 17:12), for a total of 28 nations. One foot, ten nation European democracy, is also referred to in Revelation as the ten crowns. It is the ten Christian nations of the Old Roman Empire: Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, , Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Italy. The other foot, a ten-nation Arab kingdom or dictatorship, is the ten eastern Mediterranean Moslem nations of the Old Roman empure: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey*, and Libya*. Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia are insignificant to Israel; the remaining seven Arab nations are called the seven heads in Rev 13:1. The ten-nation Russian Magog satellites, which are the ten toes, consist of Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Albania, Czecoslovakia and the four nations of Ezekiel 38:5,6: Ethiopia, Libya*, Turkey*, and Iran. These ten nations are referred to as ten horns in Rev. 17:3. When Syria, led by the dictator Antichrist, invades Israel at sunset, Oct. 3, 1988 to start World War III, the ten Russian satellite nations her. When these satellite nations realized that the United States and Russia have been devastated on Oct. 4, 1988, they acknowledge Antichrist as their leader and give him all authority to act for them (Rev. 17:12), as of Oct. 5. (Dan. 7:24). This date is the fifteenth day after the g of the Peace Pact on Sept. •

Turkey and Libya are counted twice; once in the ten-nation Arch Kingdom list, and once in the ten Russian Magog satellite list of Ezek. 38. This leaves the count a 28-nation old Roman Empire.

12 21, or one hour with God (Rev. 17:12).8 After the invasion of Israel by Antichrist, the ten horns and the seven heads, it appears that the eastern european satellite nations, the ten horns have conquered the ten crowns of western European nations, the ten crowns, in one day, Oct. 4, 1988. Rev. 13:1 verifies that the ten horns have conquered the ten crowns of western Europe. Ont. Oct. 5, Antichrist receives the last of 28 nations of the Old Roman Empire under his authority. At midweek, when Satan resurrects Antichrist, and incarnates him, (Rev. 13:3-5) he takes charges of the empire

April 22, 1992 and uses it to conquer the rest of the world in World War IV, which starts May 1, 1992. During the first 31/2 years of the 70th week, Antichrist absorbs three of the ten crown kingdoms. They are still called ten horns in Revelation 12:3, but a comparison of this age with Dan. 7:24 shows that it was in fact three of the ten crowns which were removed. When Satan conquers the world at midweek in WW IV, he uses the seven heads, ten horns and seven crowns of Rev. 12:3. Judg. 7 tells of Gideon surrounding 135,000 Midianites with 300 men on a hilltop. They lit their lamps and blew their trumpets. In the dark of night, the Midianites slew each other without single loss to Gideon. Turning an army against itself is one of God's method of warfare. In speaking of the Magog Russian armies, Ezek. 38:21 says, “Every man's sword will be against his brother.” This indicates that God again will use this method to advance His cause. The Russian satellite nation Poland is the most likely candidate for this tactic. A Catholic nation, Poland has historically had bitter enmity against atheistic Russia. It would not be too unlikely for the enemy-allies to engage one another in battle during the Magog war. The Bible does not list Poland as one of the ten horns with the other Warsaw Pact nations.

OVERVIEW OF REVELATION The solution of the end-time using the Seven Feasts of Israel identified another misconception in which many students of the Bible believe that the seven seals in Revelation are sequential, then followed sequentially by the seven trumpets, then followed sequentially by the seven bowls of Revelation, 8 One hour is to 24 hours (1/24) as 15 days is to a 360-day prophetic year (1/24).

13 or 21 events in a straight line. But seven Feasts of Israel verified that the first seven seals are overview of the entire seven-year period in length. The seven trumpets cover the first three and one-half year and the seven bowls cover the last three and one-half years only.

TWO RESURRECTIONS Rev. 20:5,6 mentions a first resurrection which includes three parts and three different Raptures. The first resurrection and Rapture is the Church (Rev. 4:1). The second Rapture at midweek is the dead Jews of all history as well as the 144,000 martyrs to midweek (Rev. 11: 18,19; 12:2,3). The third Rapture is on Rosh-Has-Ana 1995 (Rev. 16:5). This one will include all the martyrs of the last three and one-half years before the Lord Jesus comes to earth physically at the end of the Tribulation. All three Christian groups are entitled to all rights and privilege of the bride. Jesus will not marry a partial bride. The wedding takes place after this last Rapture and nine days before Armageddon. Rev. 20:11,12 speaks of the Great White Throne Judgment of all dead men of history who are not judge in the first resurrection. We as Christians have been judged by this time (1 Cor. 6:2), and will judge the wicked at the second resurrection. This will give all men of history their judgments. The house of God is first in the first resurrection, and the wicked are last in the second resurrection.

TWO TRUMPS ONE OF GOD ONE OF ANGEL There are two trumpets in the New Testament for Rapture. One is of God, for the Church, and the other is of an angel of the seventh trumpets of Revelation for the Jews. I would like to clarify a misconception by many concerning the trumpets and the Rapture. We all know

according to 1 Cor. 15:52 that the Rapture will occur in a twinkling of a eye and at the sound of the last trump. This last trump is often felt to be the last trump of the trumpets of Rev. 11:15-18, which shows a trumpet sounding, and in verse 18,a judgment of the dead. This is clearly a

14 Rapture of which I agree. This is the mid-tribulation Rapture of the dead Jews of history, and the martyrs of the first three and one-half years. Now this trumpet is an angelic trumpet whereas the trumpet of God is in I Thess. 4:16,17 “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; then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” When God changes words, He also changes meaning, which we should know the Trump of God is now about the Rapture of the church, and the angel's trumpet of Revelation is the Rapture of the dead Jews of history (Rev. 11:18; Dan. 12:2,3).

THREE RAPTURE AND THREE JUDGMENTS The time period 1988 to 1995 contains three Raptures. Each Rapture is preceded by a resurrection and is followed by a judgment. The first Rapture occurs on Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988, on the fifth Feast of Trumpets (Rev. 4:1-2). All Christians, faithful and unfaithful, both living and dead, are Raptured to the Judgment Seat of Christ in the atmosphere of the earth where they are judged by Jesus for their works and unconfessed sins. This ten-day judgment of the body of Christ is analogous to the separation of the wheat from the chaff. The wheat represents the faithful Christians who become the bride of Christ. The chaff represent the unfaithful Christians who turned back from the plow. (Luke 9:62). Christians are also represented by the five faithful virgins in the parable of the ten virgins in Matt. 25 and the wicked servant whose lot was assigned with the unbelievers in Luke 12:46. (Please read Bible references.) The second Rapture occurs in midweek, at the sound of the 7th or last angel's trump (Rev. 11:15-18),and not the trump of God (I Thess. 4:16) calling the Church home, 31/2 years into the Tribulation, sunset March 12, 1992. This Rapture involves all the faithful and unfaithful Old Testament Jewish dead and Jewish-Christian and Gentile Christian martyrs who have died by midweek (Dan. 12:2). The judgment which follows this Rapture is 40 days long, lasting until sunset, April 21, 1992. It is carried out by the twelve apostles, apparently in the third level of heaven, because of the terrible events taking place on earth at that time. (Matt. 19:28). God did not allow His faithful to 15 observe His wrath upon the wicked in the days of Noah or Lot; there is no reason to believe that He would change now. (Dan. 7:9-11; 12:2-3; Rev. 5:11; 11:15-19). The third Rapture occurs on Rosh-Has-Ana 1995, ten days before Armageddon. There are three groups who will not be Raptured at this time: 1.) the Jewish faithful who will go to Petra for safety from Satan and Antichrist (Rev. 12:6), 2.) the one-third of Israel who are cleansed by the fire of adversity in the last 31/2 years (Zech. 13:8,9), and 3.) the Gentiles not destroyed of God who go into the Millennium alive (Matt. 25:34-40). This third Rapture consists only of Jewish-Christian and Gentile Christian martyrs who become Christians during the Tribulation period, whose robes of righteousness are washed in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 7:14). The wedding of the Lamb cannot take place until this Raptured in the first 12 hours of Rosh-Has-Ana, Sept. 25, 1995. The second 12 hours of Rosh-Hash-Ana is probably their time of judgment by the twelve apostles. The next day is the wedding of the Lamb to the bride of Christ. The faithful of the Old Testament will be wedding guests (John 3:29), and the heavenly angels will be spectators, as they have been throughout human history. After the crucifixion of Jesus on the cross, all, whether Jew or Gentile, who reject His blood as the sacrificial

offering for cleansing of their sins, are damned and doomed forever to the Lake of Fire with Satan and his angels. The saved become part of Christ's body and will live with Him as sons of God in the Millennium in the New Jerusalem. Once the 70th week of Daniel begins on earth Old Testament law again comes into effect. The dead faithful practicing Jew of the Old Testament and the practicing faithful Jew of the first 31/2 years, who have died by midweek and been Raptured at midweek, will both appear as wedding guests at the marriage supper of the Lamb. At midweek the living practicing faithful Jews start going to Petra and must be in Petra by April 22, 1992 when Satan arrives on earth. These Jews will stay in Petra for 1260 days (Rev. 12:6). The living wicked Jew who is alive at midweek, must survived the last 31/2 years of Jacob's trouble, he goes to hell. The wicked, now faithful, Jew who survives Armageddon, will help populate the Millennial earth along with the faithful Jews released from Petra, and the Gentile who survive the Judgment of the Nations (Matt. 25:31-46). 16 The martyrs of the last 31/2 years of the Tribulation are the ones who will have the honor to serve at the Throne of God. The Church, the Bride of Christ, enters the New Jerusalem Sept. 26, 1995, after the Wedding of the Lamb in the third level of heaven. The martyrs, however, serve God in the Millennium in New Jerusalem.9 The Church lives in the New Jerusalem, but commutes to earth during the Millennium. At the end of the Millennium, the New Jerusalem is brought down to replace the sun, which has gone out, the New Jerusalem now lights the earth forever and ever. (see Isa. 60:18,20). Now the whole bride, the Church and the 144,000 Jews and the martyrs of the Tribulation are in the vicinity of the earth to live in the New Jerusalem for eternity. “HE”, the Body of Christ, is raptured in the twinkling of an eye, but the Bride of Christ does not exist until AFTER the separation of the faithful servant and the unfaithful servant (Rev. 21:8) at the Judgment Seat of Christ (Matt. 25:1-13) that He, (Jesus), might present it to Himself (not coming for a bride but presenting it to Himself) a glorious Church with not any spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (Eph. 5:26,27; Rev. 21:3,9). Then the New Jerusalem in the third level of heaven contains the Church during the Millennium as we then have a city home (in the third level of heaven) and a country home (on earth). ED WHISENANT COMMENTS Finally I discovered that three solar years, that is, two 365-day years and a 366-leap year and 164 days between over and Rosh-Hashana, all totalled 1260 days, or 31/2 prophetic years. God was saying that the 164 days from Moses' over, 14 Nisan, to Rosh-Hash-Ana, first Tishri, is one-half a Jewish year. Thus from over to over to Rosh-Hash-Ana was 31/2 years, and vice-versa. By this reasoning, if the Rapture were Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988, over 1992 would be very close to midweek. I called the Jewish synagogue and asked, “When is Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988?” They advice me that “they light the first candle on sunset of Sept. 11th.” The rabbi told me Rosh-Hash-Ana was the 12th September.10 and over, 1982 was 9 They do not come to earth because the sun never shines on them again. The sun will shine on the earth during the Millennium. 10 Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 is identified by rabbis as Sept. 12, 1988, where all Feast counts start, but Rosh-Has-Ana 1988 literally starts at Sept. 11, 1988 and literally ends at sunset Sept. 13, 1988, two-24 hour Jewish days.

17 the 18th of April. Day of Atonement, 1995 is Oct. 4th. Day of Atonement, 1988 is Sept. 21. I learned from the 12 th to the 21st is only nine days the way a Gentile counts it, but the Jew counts the first day, too. So there are 10 days there. You have to count Rosh-Hash-Ana as the first day, when you go on counting your 15 th day of Tishri being the starts of Tabernacles. So I realized that I had the 18th of April, 1992 as midweek, over. Going from Rosh-Hash-Ana 1988 to over, 1992, is 31/2 years, and since the 70th week doesn't start until ten days later, on Day of Atonement, then the day the idol must be set-up in the Temple is ten days after over, 1992, on April 28. But I counted it as Gentile then. In other words, the 19th was the day one, the 20th days two, the 28th day ten. Then I thought,

“Maybe the 28th of April, 1992 is the day the idol is set-up. How am I gonna prove that?” You know I had always wondered what the 1335th day was in Daniel. It says, “Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of.” And that was another funny wording. The end of the 1335th day. I knew I was dealing Jewish so it had to be sunset. The Jewish day starts and ends at sunset. So I got a perpetual calendar and started counting out 1335 days, counting the 28th of April, 1992, like a Jew does, as day one. The 1335 th day ended at sunset Dec. 23, 1995. That is the start of the Jewish day Dec. 24. That's a Gentile Christmas Eve. If it had ended on the 22nd, I wouldn't have been concerned about it. Or the 27th or the 29th I wouldn't have been concerned. I would've said, It's just a boo-boo-it's nothing. I blew my case. Back to square one.” But it ended on Christmas eve. You know, that's awfully strange, that the 1335th day ended on Christmas Eve when everybody's telling me Christmas is a pagan holiday anyway. This is during the time we celebrate the birth of Jesus. See, we were celebrating not the birth of Jesus, but His conception, but we didn't know it. I thought, Well, I've got to Christmas Eve. And it's very,very strange that I would end up on Christmas Eve on the 1335th day, which was so secret in Daniel.” I knew it said in Hos. 6:2 that the Jew was put down for two days. Now if God says two days, He means exactly 2000 years. He doesn't mean 2000 years and one day. He doesn't mean 2000 years and one week. He means 2000 years exactly. And then the third day, it says, He raised them up. That's the Millennium. I had to find 2000 years on there somewhere. To the day. The third day, the Millennium, that was ed for. I had to come up with 2000 years to the day. Because God's no liar and He's no God of confusion. So I thought, 18 “What if Dec. 23, 1995 was the start of Millennium?” I would have to have something start 2000 years earlier. That would be about the birth of Jesus. I had just received a tape from J. R. Church, where he said that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Samuel were all born on Rosh-Hash-Ana, Sept. 29, 4 B.C. Then I said, if you go to the year 2000 and back up five years, you're at Dec. 24, 1995. If you want to go 2000 years to the day, you've got to go to year zero year offset of both dates. I thought, “Sept. 29, 4 B.C. Has almost a whole year error in it. That's just not God's way. I'm wrong.” Later I got to thinking about Zola Levitt having come up with the seven Feasts of Israel being major points in the gestation period of a baby. What if a back-up 280 days, what would I have? So I got my calendars out again. I called the doctor's office. They told me it was 40 weeks, 280 days, and you count the first and last day. I counted 280 days from sunset, Sept. 29, 4 B.C., and ended up with sunset, Dec. 23, 5 B.C. There was the 2000 years to the second, from sunset, Dec. 23, 1995, the start of the Millennium, to sunset, Dec. 23, 5 B.C., the conception of Jesus. I jumped and down. I was just elated because God had shown me His dating system which had been the mystery for 2000 years. Now I could fit together these events with the beginning and ending dates given by the lunar cycle, which couldn't be lied about. I had to the very second exactly 2000 years. I knew I had in my hand at that second all the solutions to the mysteries of the last 2000 years. We now had the beginning and ending lunar dates of every count of days given in Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation. Then I knew that God does count abortion as murder, because He counts your day not from the time you are born, but from the moment you are your mother's egg 14 days before you are fertilized with your father's sperm. Jer. 1:5 says, “I knew thee before you were conceived.” God count your days from the day you are ready to be conceived, which is 280 days. Now if we could prove by two witnesses, Biblically and logically, midweek, then we would have proof from thereon of everything else falling into place systematically and by God's word to the second of time. I realized that by this we could solved every mystery of the end time, except the day and the hour. There was nothing held back, even to the 17th of Dec., if you want to says it, when God started the first day of creation. That would be 4005 B.C., less 30

19

years, to the very day He started. According to the Chronological Bible, Adam was created at age 30 in 3975 B.C. You have 4000 years, to the very second, from Adam to Jesus. God always speaks of a day as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day (II Peter 3:8). There are 4000 years from Adam to Jesus, that's four days, and 2000 years from Jesus to the Millennium, that's six days. That's six days of the week. Your seventh day is the 1000-year Millennium, the day of rest. The Sabbath where Jesus rules and reigns. Man can now know every event of the end-time to the very second except for the day and hour of the Rapture. That is the only mystery in the whole thing. Isn't that just like God. He said day and hour. He didn't say week, month and year. You don't add to God's word, you don't subtract from God's word. He says it in four different places, “Don't add my word and don't subtract my word.” If He says it four times you'd better pay attention (Deut. 4:2; 12:32; Pro. 30:6; Rev. 22:18). And if He says day and hour, He's not saying week, month and year. I've never seen anything so beautifully fit together before in my life. And it just seem to flood in. All the possibilities and ramifications. We could know everything at the end of the thousand years. God never had any secrets from His prophets. He told them all this. I'll bet there are lot of mysteries in those old prophets that'll now come to light (Amos 3:7). He would not have put it together if His time had not been right. Five years before it was gonna happen. These dates, the last three Feasts of Israel, on the lunar cycle from '88 to '95, would have meant nothing to anybody, including me, if I had not had 886 end-time Bible prophecies at my fingertips with all the references. So now I could put them together and call them from memory. “This piece fits here, this piece fits there.” If I had know all of that completely, the dates of the seven Feasts of Israel and the lunar cycle would have done no more for me that it did for anyone else over the last 2000 years. The key of it was those ten years and 886 end-time Bible prophecies11. I started ing this information out to everybody. I saw all this and I said, “I've got to get this out to all the preachers. I thought they would recognize it immediately.” But the thing I didn't realize was, they weren't as well read in their Bibles. They didn't have those 886 Bible prophecies. I was wasting 11 Dan. 12:9,10 says, “And he said, go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tested, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.”

20 my time. I thought anybody could see what I could see. But unless they had those Bible prophecies under their belt, they couldn't see what I was seeing. And I was naïve to assume that they knew that much about their own Bible, even though they professed to. Now they might have known their New Testament. But when it came to the Old Testament they were too knowledgeable. I spent a few months copying everything. I mailed it to at least 50 preachers at one time. I went to great effort. All my money went to that. Because I thought they could understand. Man, I must have been laughing stock of the continent, in their opinion. “This guy is a real cuckoo.” It wasn't decently type up. It was drawn, a lot of it, with pencil and paper, research note in the roughest form. I was so thrilled to get it out , saying, “Look, our Lord's coming back! Praise God, jump up and down, tell the people! Don't just sit there any more!” I've since mailed out over 700 copies to everybody I thought love God's word. I've spent well over $20,000 of my own money over the last five years trying to tell the world. We now know all the events of the 70th week of Daniel, three world wars, three Raptures, three judgments and all the events of the Millennium and their dates. Now we'll just sit down in front of the evening news and watch the events unfold.

WHEN MAN'S NUMBER IS UP After it looked like I might have the period for the Rapture, and the time of the Peace Pact g, Midweek

and Armageddon, I needed to prove by the Bible that the two witnesses arrive on Tabernacle 1988. I ed that Unger's Bible Dictionary had a list of Jewish Feast days. There I found the Fast for the death of Moses on the seventh day of the Jewish month Adar. From the rabbi I found that date in 1992 was March 12. I ed that in Rev. 11:9 the two witnesses lie dead in the streets of Jerusalem for 31/2 days. Three and one-half days before sunset, March 12, 1992 would be sunrise, March 9, the time when the two witnesses would be killed by Antichrist (Rev. 11:7). These two witnesses prophesy for 1260 days before they are killed (Rev. 11:3). The two witnesses arrive on Tabernacles Sept. 26, 1988. Then I calculated when World War III would start. Rev. 8:1 says there is ½ 21 hour of silence in heaven before the seventh seal starts the first of the four trumpets of World War III. One-half hour is to 24 hours (1/48th) as 71/2 days is to a 360-day prophetic year (1/48th). Here are the 71/2 days from sunrise, Sept. 26 to sunset, Oct. 3, 1988, the end of Tabernacles. This calculation verified that World War III would starts at sunset, and the Gentiles day starts at midnight. Is. 17 speaks of the 70th week of Daniel. The chapter ends, “In the evening sudden terror! Before morning they are gone!” This chapter is written to Syria. From my reading of the Old Testament, the Antichrist was a Syrian Jew. “This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us.” (Is. 17:14) describing the Gog-Magog war between Israel and Russia. The words of that Scripture sounds like Ezek. 39:10. I concluded that Syria must attack Israel at sunset, Oct. 3, 1988, and be destroyed by the two witnesses before sunrise. If this were so, the people Israel would do no fighting in this Magog war. Ezek. 39:22 says, “From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God.” Ezek. 38:23 says, “I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” This would be the start of the Magog war with Russia. Syria is a member of the Warsaw Pact; Russia and her allies would attack Israel by Paratroops like a cloud to cover the land. (Ezek. 38:9) Ezek. 39:9 also says, “for seven years they will use them (the weapons) for fuel.” There are seven years of wood burning of the Magog weapons from this war12. Therefore the Magog war with Russia had to be finished in 23 hours in Israel, before sunset, Oct. 4, 1988, so that the wood burning could begin before sunset in order to end by sunset exactly seven years later, Armageddon, Oct. 4, 1995. The World War III date was correct. What about the United States and World War III? I ed that I had read that Is. 18 applied to the United States.13 It describes the cutting and 12 Beechwood compressed by 40,000 pounds per square inch, called lignistone, is stronger than steel and burns better than coal. The Russian used large square slabs of this material to protect their troop trucks, their personal carrier and their tanks. There will be so much of this lignistone available protecting Russian armies and their allies that after the Russian armies are destroyed by the two witnesses, Israel will burn this wood for seven years to keep warm until sunset the day of Armageddon. 13 Charles R. Taylor clearly identifies the United States in Bible prophecy in his book World War III and the Destiny of America. He identified the United States in Isaiah chapter 18, the whole chapter. Verse 1 and 2 – identify the United States Verse 3 – tells how powerful the United States will be Verse 4 – says God will look on her Verse 5 – says the United States will be destroyed completely by May/June of the year as when the grape would ripen. Verse 6 – says dead bodies will be left unburied for the mountain birds of prey to feed on them and the war will end as of the first day of summer. Verse 7 – God says the survivors of the United States will worship Him in Jerusalem in the Millennium. The last of verse 7 again identifies the United States.

22 pruning before harvest time and the birds being unmolested all summer. World War III between the United States and Russia would be 37 weeks long and be over by the first day of summer, June 20, 1989, exactly 40 weeks after Rosh-Has-Ana, Sept. 12, 1988. Daniel 8:14 states, “It will be 2300 evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.” Twentythree hundred evenings and mornings from sunset Armageddon, Oct. 14, 1995, to sunset, June 17, 1989. Two hundred eighty days after the Rapture, Sept. 12, 1988, is sunset, June 18, 1989. The hallmark of God is

symmetry, continuity and logic. Two hundred eighty days, 40 weeks, is God's symbolic period of gestation, testing and association with the wicked. These two witnesses bracket the beginning and ending the day the Tribulation Temple is set-up, Sunday, June 18, 1989. (The Tabernacle of David, Amos 9:10-11; Acts 15:16-17.) Jesus reconsecrates the Tribulation Temple, the Tabernacle of David, after the Armageddon battle is over, sunst, Oct. 4, 1995. Satan presently accuses us before God in heaven while Jesus, our advocate, sits at His right hand. When will Satan be cast out of heaven? He is given 1260 days before Armageddon. Counting back from that date, Oct. 4, 1995, the date is April 22, 1992. This is six days before the idol is set-up at mid-week, April 28, 1992. (Rev. 12:9) A famous psychic has said that a great world leader was born at sunrise, Feb. 5, 1962. This person may be a likely candidate for the Antichrist. It appears that Satan's events start at sunrise and God's event at sunset. Satan would arrive on earth at sunrise, April 22, 1992 in order to resurrect Antichrist by incarnating his body. Antichrist had to die three days and three nights earlier at sunrise. Sunday, April 22, 1992, in order to duplicate Jesus' three days and three nights in the earth. Antichrist would spend three Gentile days and nights in the earth (72 hours); Jesus spent three Jewish days and nights in the earth (61 hours). If Satan arrives at sunrise, April 22, 1992, then faithful Jews must all have arrived at Petra by sunrise, April 22, 1992, in order to being caught by Satan and be in Petra's safety for 1260 days (Rev. 12:14) and to be released at sunrise, Armageddon, Oct. 4, 1995, 1260 days later. There are 81 days from the start of Armageddon, sunset, Oct. 3, 1995, to the start of Millennium, sunset, Dec. 23, 1995. If we allow one day for the battle of Armageddon and 45 days for the Judgment of the Nations which occurs between Daniel's 1290th and 1335th days, what are the other 35 days for? Israel

23 mourned 30 days for the death of Aaron and 30 days for the death of Moses. (Num 20:27; Deut. 34:8) Zech 12:10 must describe a 30-day period of mourning for Jesus after the Jews recognize Him as their Messiah. The leaves five days to be ed for. It must take five days for the Jew to recognize Jesus on Tabernacles – from sunset, Oct. 9, the end of the first day of Tabernacles. According to these calculations, the Judgment of the Nations begins at sunset, Nov. 8, and continuous 45 days to sunset Dec. 23, 1995. Satan is to be chained 1000 years, from sunrise, Oct. 4, 1995, to sunrise, Oct. 4, 2995. This date is 81 days before the end of the Millennium, just as he was chained 81 days before the Millennium started. After the thousand years, Rev. 20:3 says that Satan must be loosed for a short while. Rev. 12:12 defines a short while as 1260 days. Satan is released for 1260 days, from sunrise Oct. 4, 2995, to sunrise March 17, 2999 (Rev. 20:3). March 17, 2999, therefore, is the date of the last great war on earth spoken of in Rev. 20:9 when Satan and his army are defeated. Sunset, March 17, the start of the Jewish day March 18, 2999, is the start of the Great White Throne Judgment which continuous for 1280 days. It takes 280 days to come into this world and 280 days to go to the second death. The Chronological Bible said that Abraham was called by God in 1924 B.C. That would be 1919 years before the conception of Jesus at sunset, Dec. 25, 5 B.C. If we allot Jesus' 280-day gestation years that the Jews was in favor with God and in Israel, then the Jew lacked nine days completing 3000 years in favor with God at the end of the Millennium. If the Great White Throne Judgment was 280-days long, it would end on Dec. 22, 2999, nine days before Jan. 1, 3000 A.D. This is the day that the wicked are thrown into the lake of fire. The next day, Dec. 23, 2999, is a Sunday, the Sabbath. The next day, Monday, Dec. 24 is the King's birthday, a day of rest. The next day, Tuesday, Dec. 25, the earth will be renovated by fire. Dec. 26 through Dec. 31 will be six days of recreation, just as in the time of Adam. On the tenth day, Jan.1, 3000 A.D., we will move into the new earth and the New Jerusalem. But we Christians would have already been living in the New Jerusalem for 1000 years since, after the wedding of the Lamb and His Bride. There are 1469 days from the time of Jesus' conception, sunset, Dec. 23, 5 B.C., to start the zero year. These days, when inserted between Dec. 24,

24 2995, and Jan 1, 3000 A.D. complete the counts of days. As of Jan. 1, 3000 A.D., both the Church and the Jew have 3000 years in the land and in favor with God. God did not show partiality between Jew and Gentiles. Six thousand years is the number of man on earth. Six months after Israel invaded Lebanon in June, 1982, Israel capture certain Lebanese caves. In them were stored $2 billion worth of weapons, enough to arm the Lebanese ten times over. Battle plans were also found which were written in 17 languages. In them the Russian invasion of Israel was set for six weeks later, Aug. 4, 1982. World War III should have already happened. Except for the restrainer, the world would already be six years into nuclear winter. We have been living on borrowed time. Several interesting Bible statements: 1. We will be known in heaven as we are known (I Cor. 13:12). We will know our friends in heaven, and they will know us. 2. Even our names will be known in heaven (Is. 66:22). 3. We will have a country home on earth and city home in the New Jerusalem. 4. The Sabbath (Saturday, the seventh day) is celebrated during the Millennium (Is. 66:23). 5. Although the sun goes out forever in order not to compete with the Light of Jesus lighting the New Jerusalem, the moon continues to shine forever in the reflection of the light of the New Jerusalem (Ps. 89:37; and Is. 66:22,23). 6. There will be Gentile missionaries to all the nations during the Millennium (Is. 66:18-23). 7. “Call on Me in the day of trouble (the last 3½ years particularly) that I may rescue you to give Me glory.” (Ps. 50:15). 25 IMPORTANT DATES EVENT
