I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I actually want to say about 5 pages more. This is an original post never typed out this way before.
Matt. 24.32-33 says after Israel becomes a nation again, the return of Jesus is "very near". Previously Jesus was denouncing Israel as the fig tree for not having any life by showing it does not have leaves. And in the OT Israel often is represented by the fig tree. To me "very near" would be within a lifetime at the very latest. Ps. 90.10 says a lifetime is within 70-80 years. Split the difference since God is gracious so let's say 75 years at the most. 75 plus 1948 when Israel became a nation takes us to the return of Jesus in Person by 2023 at the latest.
Each of Daniel's sixty-nine sevens (Dan. 9.24-27) are 6 x 360 = 2,520 days each. And 2,520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 2 to 10. So the seventieth (final) seven is 2,520 days. Therefore, the Tribulation can't start any later than 2016. What is the earliest it can start? This takes a little more thinking.
Joel 2.31, Acts 2.20 and Rev. 6.12 tell us before the terrible day of the Lord (Tribulation) three events must occur in precise order: a great earthquake, a black sackcloth total solar eclipse, and a red blood moon total lunar eclipse.
The earthquake in Haiti in 2010 killed the 2nd greatest number of people of any quake in history and the most on a per capita basis 1 in 27 souls. The earthquake in Japan 2011 was the 4th or 5th greatest in magnitude in human history and it was the greatest in terms of financial loss. This is the first time such devastating quakes have occurred back to back, year over year, so this is roughly a 1 in 2010 probability of happening in 2010-11.
What follows is the solar eclipse. There are 4 kinds of solar eclipses and the rarest is the Hybrid occurring about 5% of the time. There are 3 kinds of Hybrids and the rarest is the H3 occurring about 5% of the time and turns into a total eclipse which gives it that black sackcloth effect. Amazingly, Nov. 3, 2013 is the long H3 solar eclipse - 4th since Christ. Roughly that is a probability of 1 in 700 since there were 3 instances before 2013 since Christ.
Next is the red blood moon total lunar eclipse. The rarest kind of lunar eclipse is the Lunar Tetrad when there are 4 red blood in a row over 2 years. Several centuries can go by without a single one and other centuries there can be as many as 5 or even 7. But they are really rare when you observe just those Tetrads that land on passover, tabernacles and again on passover and tabernacles. Israel has 7 feasts. The first is passover and the seventh is tabernacles. The 6th Total Lunar Tetrad was 1949/50. Israel became a nation again May 14, 1948 and signed the Armistice treaties in 1949. The 7th Tetrad was 1967/68. Israel took over Jerusalem June 7, 1967. The probability is approximately 1 in 100,000 these two feast Tetrads would land on these two key dates in the 20th century for Israel. Technically since there has never been two feast Tetrads within 18 years apart this is a first. But from the perspective of there being one century since Christ which had 2 Tetrads that is about a 1 in 20 chance there would be two in the 20th century. The odds of one landing on one of those key dates is 2/100. And the odds of the other landing on the other key date comes to 1/99. All told that is about a 1 in 100,000 chance.
Israel is going to rebuild the 3rd Temple because it is completed during the Tribulation (2 Thess. 2.4, Rev. 11.2) and this will be done during the 8th Tetrad 2014/15. The next Tetrad is not till 2582/83 and it has no rare solar eclipse next to it. The next long H3 solar eclipse is not till 2172. So the events before us are spectacular. Whatever combination you use of earthquake with the H3 or earthquake with the Tetrad or H3 with the Tetrad this is the first time they have occurred together in history. Technically, this is the first time in history two earthquakes occurred together of this magnitude. Surely, therefore, this satisfies Rev. 6.12 shortly before the Tribulation begins.
We already determined the Tribulation can't start after 2016, but now we see it can't start before 2015, because these 3 events which precede the Tribulation occur from 2010 to 2015 in Rev. 6.12, before the first rapture "before the throne" (7.9) in 3rd heaven before the 1st trumpet of the Tribulation (8.7) begins that starts the 2,520 days of the Tribulation.
Therefore, we need to find a 2,520 day period that fits. The first 4 feasts of Israel were referring to His first coming. The last 3 feasts deal with His second coming. Feast of Trumpets always represents rapture so this is where we should start as it coincides perfectly with Rev. 7.9. Incidentally this rapture before the Tribulation is not for the whole Church just those in the Church who keep the word of His patience (3.10), are watchful (Matt. 24.40-42) and prayerful (Luke 21.36) to escape the hour of trial that is to come upon the whole world. Obviously, not all Christians fulfill this condition. Consider this accountability for Christians. If you are a Christian though you can't lose eternal life, you certainly can lose the reward of being first rapture as well as returning to reign during the 1000 years (Rev. 2.26, 20.4-6) as one of the 5 wise virgins (Matt. 25.1-13).
The 2,520th day from Feast of Trumpets in 2016 does not take us to any special day in 2023. So our only other option is 2015 to 2022. At first glance it doesn't appear the 2,520th day from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 is anything special other than being Sunday on Aug. 7, 2022. But with a little more digging one realizes whenever Tisha B'Av, Av 9, is on a Saturday it is held the day after instead. Hence, Tisha B'Av is the 2,520th day in 2022. Tisha B'Av is important because it is when the Jews commemorate the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples. As it turns out every 7 out of 19 years Israel adds an extra month which brings the 2,520th day to Tisha B'Av. Fascinating! The probably Jesus returns on Sunday is 1 in 7; the probability Tisha B'Av is held over from a Saturday is 1 in 7; and the 2,520 day period fits 7 out of every 19 years.
Last but not least, the exact order of these 3 events is a permutation that comes to 1 in 6. Multiplying all these variables together comes to a miraculous improbability of 1 in 112 trillion that's 1 in 112,000,000,000,000. For the signs Jesus said to look for before His parousia that lasts seven years of His second coming, surely these are amazing enough to know when He returns.
To seal it all off, there is a double fulfillment of the declaration to rebuild the Temple in Daniel's prophecy which would take seven sets of seven or 17,640 days (Dan. 9.25) in troublous times. There just so happens to be exactly 17,640 days from June 7, 1967 when Israel took over Jerusalem to Sept. 23, 2015 Day of Atonement. 2015 is the 120th Jubilee as well as the Sabbath year every seven years, thus technically the start of the millennial kingdom.
