The End

These conclusions interpret the Hebrew passage, Hosea

6:2, to mean that after two days, and in the 3rd day, God

would start the tribulation—at 2030 A.D. (after two days). The

end then would be 2037 A.D.! This would indicate that God

will again start His time clock (the one that stopped after 483

years) and let the countdown begin for the last seven years of

man’s “rule.”

This may make more sense. Each clock, the one for and the

one against Israel, will have ticked off the same number of

years. Thus, since the dispersion, God will have counted (on

separate clocks) an equal amount of time when the Jews were

out of favor as when they were not in captivity or servitude.

The Year of Messiah’s Coming

To determine when the end is, we need to know when the

decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem of Daniel 9:25 was is-

sued, when the Messiah came to His people, and the length of

the gap of time. We see that the gap will be for 2 days (Hos.

6:2), so we will add that to when He came. We now need the

exact year the Messiah came.

In Nehemiah 2:1-8, the 69 weeks began in the month of

Nisan, in the 20th year of King Artaxerxes. He began his reign

in 465 B.C., and issued his decree on March 14, 445 B.C.

God’s prophetic years are 360 days in length

Using the scale

of a day is a year, then 69 weeks x 7 (days/week) = 483 days,

or 483 years. Thus, 483 years x 360 days/year = 173,880

days. In today’s calendars, 173,880 days converted to 365 1/4

From Gen. 7:11-24; 8:3-4, we learn that 5 months from the 17

day of

the second month to the 17

day of the seventh month is 150 days, or 30

days to the month. See “A Day Is A Year,” this chapter.
