Could The Window of Opportunity for The Time of the End be Closing in April of 2016? 1 P a g e By Dave Watchman The purpose of this article is to publish a study I started several years ago and have now completed, about a potential window of opportunity for the Lord s return to earth, beginning in the Spring of 2011, and extending to the end of 2019: a little less than 4- years from now! In my mind, I realize Jesus may not return to earth to rule and reign on the Throne of David for possibly several more years from now, even up to 2033 AD or beyond; however, the mathematics of this study suggest the final 1,335 days, mentioned in Daniel 12:12, could actually begin as early as the Middle of Passover on Nisan 18, 5776 at the end of April 2016; therefore judge for yourself! In 70 A.D., Jerusalem was essentially burned to the ground by Titus the Roman General, and consequently the Jewish people were dispersed among the nations for 1,897 years, until the Nation of Israel was re-born on May 14, 1948. I have for several years been intrigued by the possibility the Psalms, being the 19 th Book of the Bible, seem to tell the story of the re-birthed Nation of Israel s plight during the 20 th and 21 st Centuries. For example, compare Psalm-17 to 1917, when the British Lion (Vs- 12) General Allenby liberated Jerusalem: the apple of God s eye (Vs-8) during WW-1! Then Psalms-39-45 seem to be linked to the Holocaust from 1939 to 1945. For example Psalm- 39:2-3 states I was dumb with silence, THE FIRE BURNED. Then Psalm-45:16-17 says instead of thy fathers, shall be thy children. Whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations... After that, the 14 th verse of Psalm-48 seems to be tied to the generation that follows (from vs-13), which reads: MARK YE WELL her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to THE GENERATION FOLLOWING. Could the GENERATION FOLLOWING that saw the Fig Tree Israel shoot forth her leaves on May 14, 1948 (Mat 24:32-34), represent the start of the last generation? Furthermore, the 7 verses in Psalm-67, seem to be linked to the most significant modern prophetic date of all June 7, 1967 : the exact day Jerusalem was returned to the authority of the newly birthed Nation of Israel during the miraculous 6- Day War, as well as consequently having her land mass greatly increased (vs-6)! It would seem therefore that June 7, 1967 would also be a highly likely date for the last generation to commence! But how long is the last generation* that witnessed the fig-tree Israel shoot forth her leaves on May 14, 1948, possibly fulfilling Psalm-48:13-14 and Mat 24:32-34 in the first place? Some say 40, 60, 70, 75, 80, 100, even 120 years. Is there however a simple way to determine the length of the last generation referred to in Mat 24:34?
Peter states in 2Peter 3:8 a thousand years is as one day to the Lord, and Moses confirmed it as a second witness in Psalm-90:4, and furthermore added a thousand years is as a watch in the night. Therefore, there are four watches in the night (Matt 14:25), representing 4,000 years. We read in Genesis 1:14, God revealed the light of the sun on the fourth day. Four thousand years later, Simeon held baby Jesus: the Son of God, in his hands, and in Luke 2:32 called him A LIGHT to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Malachi 4:2 even referred to Jesus as the Sun of righteousness! So we understand 4,000 years have elapsed from the re-creation account in Gen 1:14 to the birth of Jesus. In Luke 3:23-38, Dr. Luke provides the names of 76 generations* from Adam to Jesus; therefore, if we divide the 4,000 years from Adam to Jesus by those 76 generations, we find the average length of a generation to be 52 years, 231 days (19,224 days). Adding this to May 14, 1948 amazingly ends on the exact last day of the 6 th Millennium on Dec 31, 2000!!! Did you catch that? 4,000 years (4-days) + 2,000 years of Grace (2-days) = 6,000 years (6-days) of man s dominion (government), ending on December 31, 2000: the last day of the 6 th Millennium? So did Messiah begin his rule on earth on 01/01/01: the 1 st day of the 7 th Millennium? No he didn t. I do however want to suggest to you the possibility of a 19 year transition period between the 6,000 years of man s earthly government to the 1,000 years of Messiah s Government likely began in 2001, just like a period of 19 years, 24 days expired between Israel s rebirth as a nation on May 14, 1948 to June 7, 1967, the exact day Jerusalem came back under her authority! Therefore, adding the 19 years, 24 days (6,963 days) to December 31, 2000, extends the transition from man s government to Messiah s Government to January 24, 2020, a little less than 4-years from now! Now watch this: adding the average length of a generation, which is 52 years, 231 days (19,224 days) to June 7, 1967, ALSO ends on January 24, 2020! There doesn t seem to be anything particularly significant about 01/24/2020, however, moving backwards a month to the nearest Jewish feast/festival is Hanukkah: the 8-day feast of Dedication (John 10:22), which begins on December 22, 2019 and ends on December 30, 2019. Continuing to work backwards -75 days (1,335 75 = 1,260) from the 1,335 day blessing on Hanukkah (Dan 12:12), we arrive at Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement on October 11, 2019 at the 1,260 day mark. Further working backwards those -1,260 days, we arrive at the middle of Passover (Nisan 18) three months from now on April 26, 2016: the possible start of the time of Jacobs Trouble/ great tribulation (Rev 12:6) in the Hebrew year 5776! Now step back a little, and consider those extremely rare blood moon Tetrads of 2014 and 2015, falling on Jewish Holy days, could be warnings to the nation of Israel of major 2 P a g e
catastrophes just over the horizon; similarly, the Blizzard of 2016 named Jonas, that overwhelmed the great city (megalopolis: D.C, MD, PA, NJ, NY, and Boston) on January 22, 2016 (43 rd anniversary of Roe vs Wade), could even be a sign to this wicked and adulterous generation living in the USA, according to Matthew 12:39-41? And please don t forget the Harbingers and Mystery of the Shemitah, Super Shemitah :Jubilee, and all the floods, fires, terrorist attacks, ISIS, oil market crash, potential global economic crash involving 17-Trillion Dollars of global wealth disappearing since last August. I could go on for pages, but surely you understand my point. Therefore, I hope through this study, I have at least provided some food for thought as well as providing some very interesting mathematical conclusions that may suggest this window of opportunity for the start of time of the end could be fast approaching : literally in less than 3-months from now! April 2016 may however come and go like all the others, and in reality I could still be writing about the time of the end 15-years from now; but I hope you the reader will at least prayerfully consider this possibility, and get yourself and your family Spiritually, mentally, and physically prepared for the difficult times ahead! You notice I didn t say anything about the timing of the rapture, nor did I say thus sayeth the Lord on anything written here, so please don t throw the date setter accusation at me. Also, I believe I have provided enough evidence though, in conjunction with all the other crazy things that seemingly have turned our world upside down as we speak, hopefully to get your attention. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus! (DW, January 31 st, 2016) So What Should We Do Seeing The Time Of The End Is Near? #1 Believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God that died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures. Pray now and ask Christ to save you, and come live in your heart; then tell others (John 3:16, Acts 2:21 & Romans 10:9-10). #2 Take care of your family by stocking and rotating at least a six-month food and water supply (or even a year). When the beast in the Middle East arises, oil flow likely will stop and our economy will crash! (1Timothy 5:8 & Matthew 24: 45-47, 2Thess 2:1-3) #3 Memorize Scriptures and have a plan to lead thousands to the Lord in the harvest! #4 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (Luke 21:36). 3 P a g e www.thewatchmanstime.com
