THE MATH IN PROPHECY CONCERNING ISRAEL'S REBIRTH AS A NATION IN THE LAST DAYS! ................
Mathematical Bible Prophecy
The
Return of Israel ... May 14, 1948
"Remember
the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and
there is none like me,
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient
times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I
will do all my pleasure:
(Isaiah 46:9-10)
You are about to read one of the
most fascinating and remarkable prophecies in the Bible. What makes it
even more remarkable is what it implies. For when we realize how
precisely this prophecy has been fulfilled after 2,500 years, we must
realize all the Bible prophecies concerning Israel and the world
including the coming 'Apocalypse,' the Battle of Armageddon, Messiah's Return, and
the many promises and warnings concerning both Heaven and Hell will be
fulfilled just as accurately and literally as the amazing prophecy presented
here ...
The
Prophecy ...
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of
the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou
shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity,
according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt
thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy
right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days:
I have appointed thee each day for a year.
Ezekiel 4:4-6
This
Is A Mathematical Bible Prophecy . . .
Although a little obscure (and
sophisticated) this is one of the most fascinating prophecies found in the
Bible.
Here, we find God telling Ezekiel
that each day he (Ezekiel) lies on his side will represent one year
of punishment for the nation of Israel (Israel + Judah) because of their
iniquities (sins) against God . . .
So, we have:
390 days Judgment against the 10 northern tribes
of 'Israel'
+ 40
days Judgment against the 2 southern tribes of 'Judah'
= 430
years Judgment against the nation of Israel
The
Fulfillment of the Prophetic Judgment Begins . . .
In 606 B.C. Israel (Judah) was
taken into captivity by Babylon for exactly 70 years ...
430 years of judgment determined against nation Israel
- 70
years fulfilled during the Babylonian captivity
= 360 years remaining
in judgment against the nation of Israel
The
Mystery of 360 Years . . .
There should have been a total of
360 years left in judgment against Israel after their release from
Babylonian captivity by the Persian general Cyrus, exactly 70 years
after the Babylonian captivity began (just as the prophet Jeremiah had
prophesied before the captivity) ... but where was the remaining
360 year judgment in Israel's history??!!
The
7X Factor of God's Judgment . . .
Bible scholars could not find any
specific captivity or dispersion that fulfilled these 360 years left in the
judgment until a close look in the book of Leviticus revealed a startling
prophetic warning ...
" And
if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven
times more for your sins.."
(Leviticus 26:18)
" And if ye walk
contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more
plagues upon you according to your sins."
(Leviticus 26:21)
And if ye will not for all this hearken unto
me, but walk contrary unto me;
Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I,
even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
(Leviticus 26:27-28)
" And
I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and
your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.."
(Leviticus 26:33)
The 7X factor of God's judgment
against nation Israel. God warned Israel if they continued in their
disobedience He would multiply their judgment by seven times! Remember,
as noted throughout these prophetic studies, God says what He means and He
means what He says!
Prophecy
Fulfilled . . .
Now, let's apply the 7X factor to
the remaining 360 years of judgment against nation Israel in this remarkable
mathematical prophecy . . .
360 Remaining years of judgment
x
7 The prophetic '7X' factor
= 2,520 Years
of judgment remained against nation Israel
God gave the Jews the most
sophisticated calendar on Earth. It is both a Lunar and a Solar
calendar. The Jewish calendar uses a 360 day lunar (and prophetic) year
and then adds a 'Leap Month' on specific years to accurately coincide with the
Solar cycle we use on our 'Julian' calendar ...
The Bible uses 360 day years for
prophecies and expects us to add the appropriate 'leap months' on
schedule. So, the easiest way to unravel this prophecy is to first
convert this prophecy into days ...
2,520 years
x
360 days
= 907,200 days
of judgment remained against nation Israel after the Babylonian
captivity
Now, to convert the 907,200 days
found in this prophecy into our 365.25 day solar (Julian) years (the .25
adjusts for leap years) . . .
907,200
days ÷ 365.25 days = 2,483.78 years of
God's judgment remained
With this information, let's
look at this remarkable prophecy again . . .
606 B.C Israel taken
into Babylonian captivity
- 70 Years for 70 years
=
536 B.C. End of first
70 years of judgment
+ 2483 Years
Now add the 2,483 years remaining in this judgment
+
1 Year Add 1 year
because there is no "0" B.C. or A.D.
= 1948 AD!
End of judgment against nation Israel
Israel
Back in Her Land as a Nation . . . in 1948!
Judah (Israel) was taken into
captivity by the Babylonians in 606 B.C. They were released from
captivity 70 years later by the Persians in 536 A.D., exactly as the prophet
Jeremiah had prophesied, but their land was still under the control of the
Persians. The Persians were later conquered by the Greeks, and the land
of Israel remained under Greek control. The Greeks were then conquered by
Rome and the land of Israel remained under Roman control. After failed
rebellions against Rome around 70 A.D. and another around 100 years later, the
Romans removed the Jews from the land of Israel, dispersed them around the
world and then renamed the land 'Palestine' after the enemies of
Israel. Then, after 2,500 years, and for the first time since the
Babylonian captivity in 606 B.C., the world watched as Israel once again
appeared on the world map as a sovereign nation, on May 14, 1948 ...
exactly when the Bible said it would!
" And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and
will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:"
(Ezekiel 37:21)
A
Future Warning For Israel and the World . . .
How has the world reacted to such a
profound fulfillment of Bible prophecy? A miracle that can be proven and
documented by simply looking at the Bible and a map ... and then simply adding
the years. It has ignored it! Just as God has
warned most of the world will ignore the Bible warnings of the coming
'Apocalypse' (also called the 'Time of Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble', the 'Great
Tribulation,' and the 'Day of God's Wrath.') For the Bible also warns
a series of terrible prophetic events which will change the world forever
would begin to unfold immediately after Israel became a Nation
in 1948! If you diligently study the prophecies and watch the
world news from a Biblical perspective you will soon find many of
the prophetic events the Bible warns us about are now in the process of
being fulfilled! God also promises to shelter and protect all those who
will sincerely return to Him in love and in faith before the coming time of
trouble. Remember, God uses prophecy to prove He is who He
says His is, and to authenticate all the warnings and the promises found
in the Bible . . .
The
Most Important Prophetic Warning Found in the Bible . . .
Our eternal destiny ... Heaven or
Hell. Please remember, the Bible tells us Heaven is available to
every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world, no matter who they are, where
they live, what they have done, or how old they are. Eternal life in the
Kingdom of Heaven is freely offered ... the Bible tells us Jesus is "King
of kings and Lord of lords"... King above both Earth and
Heaven. Learn of Jesus invite Him into your life as Lord and Savior,
believe He died on the Cross for all of your sins and rose from the grave
(which fulfilled Bible prophecies and proved there is life
waiting for us in either Heaven or in Hell after this body dies).
Learn of Him and believe in Him ... for He was the only one who ever loved you
enough to substitute Himself for you on the Cross. He
lovingly paid your debt. The Bible clearly warns we can't 'earn' our way
into Heaven by our 'good deeds.' Jesus shed His blood, suffered, and died
on the Cross to save us from our sins and from the utter darkness
of Hell, if you will accept it, believe it, and trust in it. That
is why Jesus is called Savior. He now lovingly and graciously offers life
in Heaven (and we are warned it is a "take it or leave it"
proposition.) We have to consciously receive it and accept it in
faith. If you sincerely admit you have sinned, and ask Jesus to come into
your life, and repent by honestly trying to stop doing (and saying) all those
things God says are wrong and are against His Law, you will go to Heaven
... and with open arms and tears of joy He will receive all who will come to
Him in faith and in love ... It's God's Promise!!!
One of two unpardonable sins is to
reject God's love by rejecting Jesus who lovingly and willingly died for our
sins ... who stepped forth from Eternity ("from old, from everlasting ...
see Micah 5:2) and put on the form of Man ... to save sinners ... lots
of them ... any and all who would believe and trust in Him ... from the
eternal loneliness, darkness, and torment of Hell. He humbly and lovingly
laid down and offered His life on the Cross as the sacrificial 'Lamb of God'
(the ultimate and final sin offering for both the children of Israel and
for the whole world ... EXACTLY as the prophets said He would) so we can
be washed clean of all our sins. He took the penalty for all of our
sins upon Himself. But, we have to believe it, accept it, and receive it
in our hearts, in faith. The Bible warns there will be no peace
in our hearts until we make peace with God through His Son, Jesus who died
for us, so we might live in Heaven through Him. The Bible also
warns there will be no peace in Israel or on Earth until the Messiah
returns . . .
The
Bible Warns There Is No Other Way Into Heaven . . .
Jesus knew what was about to happen
when He prayed, "If there is any other way"three times in the
garden the night before He was crucified. He was telling us something very
important. If you believe there was, or is, any other way to gain
entrance into Heaven other than believing in the One who suffered for our sins
on the Cross, then you must deny the Bible is God's Word and believe Jesus
simply suffered and died needlessly and in vain on the Cross.
However, God tells us in the Bible Jesus lovingly laid down His life for you
and for me so we might one day enter into His Kingdom of Heaven ...
"The Lord is my shepherd . . ."
(Psalm 23:1)
And Jesus graciously tells us,
"I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."
(John 10:11)
"Let not your heart be troubled;
ye believe in God, believe also in Me.
In My Father's house are many mansions
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go to prepare a place for you,
I will come again and receive you unto Myself,
that where I am there ye may be also."
(John 14:1-4)
