Long ago I wrote two books on End Times bible prophecies – End Times and 2019, and Antichrist 2016-2019. When we reached the end of 2019 I posted that despite everything that pointed to the Antichrist coming to power in mid 2016 and end times events happening during the week of Hanukkah in late December 2019, my interpretation of what would happen at those times was obviously wrong. The only powerful politician that rose to the top in 2016 was Donald Trump and the only major event of late December 2019 was the start of COVID-19 problems.
To my surprise, many readers defended my work. There were comments about how with so much good information I had brought some closer to Christ and that there must be something to the timelines and astronomical matches to events on the ground – especially the Hebrew wedding ceremony taking place in the sky that I had described. I still said the easiest answer is that I was at least partially if not entirely wrong in my analysis. One response that really stood out to me was from a Canadian church following my work and their pastor explained why I needed to consider the fourteen years that Jacob worked for Laban, seven years each to marry Leah and Rachel.
The video below does a good job explaining why we should consider that Israel’s re-creation as a nation in 1948 is equivalent to the birth of Jacob, and that just as the parable of the fig tree suggests that major end times events should be underway by the time Israel is 80 years old – an analysis of Jacob’s life points to 2032 just a year off from when we are 14 years past my 2019 timing and 2000 years from the end of Christ’s first time on Earth in 33 AD. “A day is as a thousand years” and He was “asleep” for two days.
Maybe Aaron from “God a Minute?” is right on target in his analysis of 2025 and 2032 and when everything comes to an end. It’s a little early for the pole shift catastrophe that I think is God’s way of rapturing the population and making “a new heaven and a new earth” which according to some like Ben Davidson and Doug Vogt who assume 2030s if not 2040s…. But since 33 AD plus 2000 points to the same answer as 2019 plus 14 I’m thinking maybe he’s close but maybe one year off.
Even Adam Clarke was off by one year interpreting the fulfillment of bible prophecy. Jerusalem was reunited under full Israeli control for the first time in 2300 years, just as the prophet Daniel had described in Daniel 8:14 “For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be properly restored.” Adam Clarke wrote in his Bible commentaries back in 1825 that this should happen in 1966 – he was off by a year because he mistakenly counted the non-existent year zero. Alexander the Great took Jerusalem without a fight after the battle of Issus, (the High Priest Jaddua showed Alexander the prophecies in the Book of Daniel and how he fit the description of a king of the Greeks that would defeat the king of the Persians) and after 2300 Passovers (an evening and morning holiday) had elapsed, Israeli control was restored in 1967.
