I was in agreement with the 1260 years and the 1290 years, but I would like to give you something else to ponder and pray about regarding the 1335 years. traditionally we have been taught to subtract the 1290 from the 1335, and this may be one fulfillment but also please consider this: Daniel 12:12 reads, "Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days." Now obviously the end of the Battle of Tours was a blessing, but a greater blessing would be the return of Christ and the completion of His Kingdom on earth. If we add 1335 years to the date of the fulfillment of the "abomination of desolation" 687-688 we come to 2022-2023..Now keeping this in mind, if the prophecy in Daniel 9 is a dual prophecy of the coming of the Messiah, the first and the second coming; and the second coming is the 7 weeks (seven weeks and threescore and two weeks); and we start the count from the year 1967 when Jerusalem was no longer under foot of the Gentiles and go forward we come to 2015-2016 [1967+(7 times 7=49)=2015-2016] then 7 more weeks for the final week (great tribulation) of the 70 weeks would bring us to the 2022-2023 date. Any thoughts?
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Done. Not a place on earth not left unexplored. We even went to space
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Done. We now understand the prophecies in conjunction with history.
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Done. Islam spread like wildfire and was set back up as a major world player because of WW1 and WW2.
Mat 24:3 ¶ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Done. Over and over again. There have been so many false Christs I have lost count.
Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Done. That is a perfect description of the world now.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Done. Earthquakes have been happening with more frequency in this last century than in any other. Famine is rampant for much of the world in spite of all our agricultural advances and we are constantly hearing of new diseases every year. Bird flu, swine flu, west nile virus, etc. All of it happening from all over the world.
Mat 24:8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Done. This is one hateful world.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Done. There have been many false prophets. Joseph Smith, Emma White, David Koresh, MUHAMMAD.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Done. We live in a world with all the technological advances one could ask for and yet we concern ourselves more with whether it is economically feasible to help the impoverished or not.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Done. Where in the world is there people that haven't had the Gospel preached? If not preached where is there a place that can't access it somehow? Even in nations where the Bible has been outlawed the internet provides access to the Bible. If there is a nation that hasn't at least heard the Gospel there can't be many.
Mat 24:15 ¶ When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Done. Dome of the Rock. 688 ad.
