A lot of what Daniel Matson puts together goes over my head, but it's amazing. He has some intriguing counts involving the Great Pyramid, the Rev 12 sign, Jan 20-22, and Hanukkah 2025. I am watching cautiously, but my bags are packed and I am ready to go. Me too. That was a good find on the April 18 and the 280 days. First official meeting of the Knesset - Feb. 14 1949 - Tu B'Shvat 69 years hence... Super Blue Blood Moon - Jan. 31, 2018 - Tu B'Shvat 70 years... Super Wolf Blood Moon - Jan. 21, 2019 - Tu B'Shvat @ 12:12 am EST Was Jan. 31 last year a 1 year warning? I think we are close.
I think that we're close too. It's making me nervous. Even if nothing happens tonight and into Monday, i still am convinced that this is it. If nothing were to happen by Monday AM, then i'm paranoid until Friday because that will be 21 days since the "darkened" sun, and 3 and a half days after the lunar eclipse. "Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.There is a naysayer site that made a graphic that was posted on another forum. This one: And this one will also be centered in between two lunar triples, with a solar and lunar eclipse in January 2038 that will calculate the thing that i'm worried about: <----1260----> <-----1290-----> 0.976744186046512 <------1335------> 0.966292134831461 <-------1372-------> 0.973032069970845 But this still does not phase me, because to have it all culminate in 2038, puts it too far out of range of everything else that we have going on right now. They are some smart folks at this other forum, and after showing them the readers digest version of my usual bar graph rhetoric, i told them this: "The next time this setup comes around will be too far out. The last lunar eclipse will be in January 2038. Right now we have a great cloud of witnesses. Comet Shoemaker Levy 9, 1994, Isaac Newton's read on the two comings embedded within the enigmatic text of Daniel 9, two modern day decrees to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem, Israel becoming a nation in 1948, the Fig Tree generation, the Revelation 12 sign and an Abomination standing in a place where it ought not to be EXACTLY 1290 days prior to the "darkened" sun. Just the Abomination alone would be a pretty hard thing to fake, even by a dragon empowered composite beast. These are things that are not replaceable in time. They are never going to happen again. It would be nice to see another summer come around again, but i'll be surprised if we make it that far without something happening.

I look at a few but I do not interact much if at all because they have too much drama. 2) Are you a Mod on Jonathan Cahn Page? I am not convinced that anything will happen that has not been happening other than increasing in intensity & frequency. I am focused on keeping my lamps full of oil and staying awake. I do believe these are signs that we are seeing... I am starting to lean towards these blood moons pointing to the coming Peace Treaty that the US is trying to broker. Hence the parallels between the last 2 out of 3 Blood Moons over DC & 1 over Jerusalem leaning towards the ominous sign over DC.... However, is it still considered a sign if no one in DC can see? or As far as America is concerned, is judgement being passed with the Eclipse of 2024?... or think about this... What if it is cloudy and rainy on that day? I am just thinking out loud because I feel comfortable enough to do that here with out being attacked for thinking outside the box. I hope & pray that the skies are clear. It is a beautiful day in Texas. Shalom! Attachments:

It's so very cold, but we are periodically checking on the progress of the eclipse. I'm even letting my daughter stay up because there is no school tomorrow anyway. I'm trying to get pictures of it. Attachments:

I just want to take a moment and brag on how good God is for a minute.
1st- I was invited over to a friends house to get to see the Super Blood Wolf Moon or Super Wolf Blood Moon through a telescope. The skies were clear and the weather was not in the 20's as it was being predicted during the beginning of the week. (I tried to post pictures but I will have to resize them.)
2nd- I have a Bible study group on Tuesday & Every other Friday 7 am at work so I wanted to get here early and enjoy the the Jupiter-Venus conjunction while I enjoyed a couple cups of coffee. It was very cloudy this morning but as I looked up while walking out the front door it was as if the clouds parted and the conjunction was made visible just for me. That is how it felt as arrogant as that may sound to some. I serve and worship a personal God that will go to great length for His children to show us how much He loves us. It happened so fast that I could not get my camera out of my pocket before the clouds covered it again.
If that was not enough, as soon as I start my truck the song "You Reign" by Mercy Me is playing on Air1 just at the same exact moment that the lyrics say:
Even before there was a star in the sky Even before the world was put in motion You were on Your throne You were on Your throne
You reign Glory in the highest You reign Let creation testify
After the song was over I thanked and glorified God for being so good to me and I asked God if He would allow me to see the conjunction 1 more time just so I can take a picture as a remembrance of His loving kindness and mercy towards me.
God answered my prayers and I got a couple of pictures before it vanished.
Also, the Bible study was on "Always A Child of God" Romans 8:14
I do not cry easy but this morning I shed a few tears. God is amazing!

But this still does not phase me, because to have it all culminate in 2038, puts it too far out of range of everything else that we have going on right now. I'm still not phased. But my neurotransmitters are getting sore. And i'm running out of bullets. And i've painted myself into a corner, and at the end of my rope. Please, throw your servant a line Lord. One toke over the line, sweet Jesus One toke over the line Sittin' downtown in a railway station, One toke over the line Dave a couple questions: 1) What board are your referring to? I look at a few but I do not interact much if at all because they have too much drama. The naysayer site was americanvision.org. They were the ones that made the blood moon image. The forum is OK. It's just boring, but the people are OK. Preterists and Amils that argure with the Dispys. But someone started a post about the blood moon, so i did my usual rhetoric with the bar graphs and it was a bit too much for some of them. Scroll down page 2 and then look at the reaction from Willie at post 36. I killed myself laughing. This forum (unsealed) has a lot more volume, or a lot more views per post. I only did 20 posts there. I'll probably say Hi on Saturday. www.christianityboard.com/threads/prophecy-alert-blood-moon-over-america-1-19-21-2019.27789/page-22) Are you a Mod on Jonathan Cahn Page? Nope, after my day job this week, i barely got home an hour before bedtime. No time. I am not convinced that anything will happen that has not been happening other than increasing in intensity & frequency. I am focused on keeping my lamps full of oil and staying awake. I do believe these are signs that we are seeing... I am starting to lean towards these blood moons pointing to the coming Peace Treaty that the US is trying to broker. Hence the parallels between the last 2 out of 3 Blood Moons over DC & 1 over Jerusalem leaning towards the ominous sign over DC....

What if it is cloudy and rainy on that day? I am just thinking out loud because I feel comfortable enough to do that here with out being attacked for thinking outside the box. I hope & pray that the skies are clear. It is a beautiful day in Texas. Shalom! I'm still having a blood moon hangover, but i'm still convinced that something is going to happen soon. Keep the lamps full and staying awake is great advice. Especially now. Because it will become easier and easier to become distracted and risk being caught by surprise. I still am convinced that these ARE the signs from Luke 21. That they have all been given. In the sun and in the moon and in the stars. I'm worried that the "distress of nations" comes next, or soon. I'm not sure about the peace treaty. But i don't think it matters who sees the signs. If they are visible to Jerusalem, or to Washington DC. I don't think it matters now. An Eskimo can see them all if he wants to on a smart phone or tablet.. That conception comet C/2017 E1 is still dancing around while rocketing away near Orion's shield and anyone with a smart phone can see it if they want. I also feel comfortable here Mr. Bond. The only reason that i would hesitate in my "thinking out loud" and out of the box here is because i'd rather not cause anyone to be agitated. All i ever do is to think out loud. I don't KNOW what's going on. But i am sure that something IS going on. During times like this, what i do is to review everything that i have looked at. Like how Gary just did a quick recap on the Revelation 12 Sign in the Signs in the Heavens section. Like how i did in the other forum with the Isaac Newton read on Daniel 9 and the two modern day decrees to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem. And so it would seem something would have to happen in January. But what i'm thinking about right now is how are these numbers from Daniel 12 supposed to be situated with one another. If the Abomination and the End of these Wonders and "darkened" sun are 1290 days apart, how do they fit with the 1335 days? Will there still be 45 days to go? Or less? How does the 1290 fit inside of the 1335? Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days <----1260----> <-----1290-----> 0.976744186046512 <------1335------> 0.966292134831461 <-------1372-------> 0.973032069970845 This Sunday will be 7 days since the moon not giving it's light. This Sunday will be 21 days since the sun was "darkened". From the "darkened" sun until Presidents Day is 45 days. From the "darkened" sun until yet another Supermoon is 45 days. That will also be Daisy Gatson Bates Day in Arkansas. www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/daisy-gatson-bates-dayMany people in the United States, including in Little Rock, Arkansas, take the time to remember the life and achievements of Daisy Gatson Bates on the THIRD Monday of February 18. Daisy Lee Gatson Bates was born in Huttig, Arkansas, in 1913 or 1914. She was a foster child who attended the city’s segregated public schools. She married LC Bates in 1942 and lived in Little Rock. Her husband started a newspaper, known as the Arkansas State Press, which stressed the need to improve conditions for African Americans. This resulted in many businesses withdrawing their advertisements. She and her husband were actively involved in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Bates’ popularity as a civil rights advocate heightened in 1956 during the pre-trial proceedings of the federal court case, Aaron v Cooper, which set the stage for Little Rock Central High School’s desegregation in 1957. Bates led a protest against the Little Rock schools system’s slow plan for racial integration within schools. She personally guided and advised African American students enroll into Little Rock Central High School on September 25, 1957, with National Guard units and about 1000 paratroopers to help enforce integration. She remained active in the civil rights programs throughout her life. Bates died of a heart attack at the Baptist Medical Center in Little Rock on November 4, 1999. February 19 will see another Super moon. The Full Moon on February 19, 2019, is a Supermoon, making it look bigger and brighter than usual. Shabbat Shalom!

I really like this video on the 7000 year history. Around the 15 minute mark the video states 2000 after the Crucifixion of Christ should see the full return of Christ at Armageddon; so somewhere between 2030 AD and 2033 AD. Rapture should be before this of course. And someone mentioned in the comments of the video of the variance of 360 day years vs 365 day years should also be accounted for. I don't disagree.

Thanks for the video uscgvet. It seemed good quality. It had the feel of a Seventh Day video. I'm not from any church, but being an independent follower of Seventh-day Sabbatarianism, it sounded pretty good. I agree with the theory of the 7000 year plan, but i can't see how it could be made to give a pin point accuracy of the days we are in. Just recently, Pastor Sandy tried so hard to count up the generations from Scripture and he seemed so disappointed when it appeared to be a miss. But when i was watching the video, i wondered why would the 2000 years start at the Crucifixion? Why not at Jesus' birth? Or at the start of His ministry in 27AD? Or at some other time marker within His travels like at the death of John the Baptist, or when He spent two days bringing the Gospel to the Samaritan woman and her people. But i'm a hard headed hard case. I still think it's happening now, or about to bust out on the world at any minute. I'm on alert for Sunday night into Monday AM, the seven day marker since the moon not giving it's light. I also wonder, if since there was two weeks between the "darkened" sun and the moon not giving it's light, will there be two weeks until the stars fall from the heavens. Or how does the 1290 fit within the 1335 days. Is there a 45 day overlap? Or does the 1290th day mark the start of the 1335 days? I doubt it. But i'm not sure. Just thinking aloud alot. “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened,
(2 weeks went by) and the moon will not give its light,
(2 weeks goes by?) and the stars will fall from heaven,
(2 weeks goes by??) and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
(2 weeks goes by???) Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, January, February AND March are super-moon full moons. "For the goodman is not at home, He is gone a long journey: He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the full moon.

Your question " why at the start of the Crucifixion?" Because of what was written in Hebrews 9:15-17 Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Christ had to die to begin the New Testament. That began the new Church age. Actually, all of Chapter 9 in Hebrews covers this very question...

Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Christ had to die to begin the New Testament. That began the new Church age. Actually, all of Chapter 9 in Hebrews covers this very question... That sounds like a pretty good answer Sir. It reminds me of that other thread where you guys were busy taking about things over my head. And what you're saying here about Hebrews 9 and the start of the New Testament, the New Covenant, makes pretty good sense. But i'm still a bit hesitant about going all in with the understanding that the start of the 4000th year was at the Crucifixion. That would mean to me that we have 11 years to go, plenty time for a mail order bride, but also pretty far out of whack with all our current end time signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars. I'm not wishing for it to be right now, i just still think that it IS happening right now, or very very soon. Something Jesus said in Mark has always fascinated me. I once thought it had something to do with the heptads from Daniel 9, but now i'm not so sure. Jesus said that: "The time is fulfilled". What did He mean that the "time" is fulfilled? What "time" was fulfilled? I had thought it to be the Daniel 9 time. BUT He said this right after John the Baptist was arrested. John was the one who was supposed to make the way straight for the Lord. "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. But then when John B was arrested, we hear Jesus say that the time is fulfilled, repent and believe in the Gospel of God. "Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”Repent and believe in the Gospel. So i took a look at stackexchange to see what those guys had to say about it. Here i've cherry picked from some of their more interesting answers, i capitalized where the three different writers mention the GOSPEL: "One interesting aspect of this is that we would assume there was a period when the time was not fulfilled - like all the time from Adam to Jesus. But that does not have to be true for this saying to be meaningful. If the GOSPEL is eternal then after ANY time has passed, the time will be fulfilled. "The fulfillment of time that Jesus is referring to is the completion of the time of the Law, and the beginning of the time of the GOSPEL. "After telling that the time is fulfilled, the very next thing Jesus does is not only to call the hearer to repentance, but to believe the GOSPEL. We think of repentance in terms of regret or sorrow, but this is not really what the Greek μετάνοια means. It too reflects an existential and not a juridical change: the root of μετάνοια is νοῦς, which is sometimes translated as "mind", but which would later be described as one's spiritual core. "So to "recapitulate", I would say the "fulfillment of time" here corresponds directly to what Paul explains in Galatians and Ephesians: an ending of the time of the Law, and a gathering of all under Christ as their head. The accompanying call to repentance should not, I think, be understood as a chastisement, but rather as an invitation. "The popular distinction is between χρόνος = chronological span and καιρός = opportune moment, and the latter is used in Mark 1:15. The word "Πεπλήρωται" quite often means "accomplished". So "it's time!" would be a fine contemporary meaning. hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/8934/what-is-the-meaning-of-the-time-is-fulfilled-in-mark-115This other verse from Paul might even hold the implication that the time came right when "God sent forth His Son". "When the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the LawBut let God be True, And i am a liar.

I also wonder, if since there was two weeks between the "darkened" sun and the moon not giving it's light, will there be two weeks until the stars fall from the heavens. Or how does the 1290 fit within the 1335 days. Is there a 45 day overlap? Or does the 1290th day mark the start of the 1335 days? I doubt it. But i'm not sure. Just thinking aloud alot. “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened,
(2 weeks went by) and the moon will not give its light,
(2 weeks goes by?) and the stars will fall from heaven,
(2 weeks goes by??) and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
(2 weeks goes by???) Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, Dave, perhaps you should use the entire section of Matt. 24:29-35 where at Verse 32 that states: "Now learn the parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves ye know that summer is nigh." The fig tree represents Judah that began putting forth leaves in 1948. Then we have Verse 34 that states: "I say unto you, This generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away." So we are told that heaven and earth shall pass but this generation shall not pass until the things of Verses 29-31 are fulfilled. Thus, heaven and earth will pass in Verses 29-31 and it follows from Verse 29 that the heavens and earth will pass after the tribulation. Thus the order is as follows: 1) The generation of this branch begins in 1948 putting forth leaves (children), 2) the tribulation begins and ends, 3) heaven and earth pass and this is Verses 29-31, 4) the generation of this branch ends at some point in the future. From this observation Matt. 24:29-33 apply after the tribulation that we are looking for. Thus, the tribulation is perhaps 1290 days previous to Matt. 24:29. beginning at Verse 15.

Thus the order is as follows: 1) The generation of this branch begins in 1948 putting forth leaves (children), 2) the tribulation begins and ends, 3) heaven and earth pass and this is Verses 29-31, 4) the generation of this branch ends at some point in the future. Because i think verse 32 is where a new module begins. I read Matthew 24 to be about five sections, five modules, of repetition and enlargement. The ESV, i think, does a very good job of inserting those headers between the modules. From this observation Matt. 24:29-33 apply after the tribulation that we are looking for. Thus, the tribulation is perhaps 1290 days previous to Matt. 24:29. beginning at Verse 15. I guess that what i'm thinking, is that the tribulation that we are looking for, MIGHT not be the tribulation that is here. But this hypothesis of mine has a short shelf life. And then i'll be out of bullets. Some of the things that Jesus said like "Behold I come quickly, and "I am coming soon, soon and quickly might mean fast. Like lightning from the east and to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man. FAST. "Quickly and "soon come from the word that we get tachometer from. Speed. The implication is speed. RPM. And so i'm still on guard that something could begin very suddenly, and very destructively, and take place over a very short span of time which would wind up with us being in the air with all of the holy angels as Jesus turns to us and says: “Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”(The thief comes also to kill and to destroy) And we are the blessed. Because we stayed awake. And we have the garments on. When the time comes to destroy the destroyers of the earth.
