Hmmm.... 2520 ?

Interesting theory. Found this article. This guy agrees on the date of 457 BC.

kjs ,fitz ,barbiosheepgirl , Hello to all my fellow sheepdogs/ Watchmen.

Thanks for the link, kjs . I haven't had time to watch it yet, but hope to this weekend. This is some mind-numbing information that is related to the thread topic - specifically the 2520 day count.


I can't help but wonder/ be amazed, at this number 2520.

 It makes me instantly think of the other number from scripture 2550 - which is 7 prophetic years of the Tribulation,  and more significantly it's the total of the two separate day counts listed in Revelation and Daniel.   

1260 = 3 1/2  Biblical or prophetic years.   And also - the exact same number listed as the ministry of the 2 witnesses.  hhhhmmmm.   
Then, we have the other exact day count of 1290 days which is one prophetic month extra.   3 1/2 years.   Is this a leap month added. ??    

According to the Metonic cycle, a leap month is added 7 times in 19 years, but it's not exactly every 2 years or every 3 years.     There's a very precise pattern, which just happens to correspond to the black keys on the piano going up - (to the right,) starting at Middle C.    Hmmmm.  

So this number - is the same as the exact number given in scripture for the 7 year tribulation - 2550 days,  minus 1 Prophetic month.    
This may not be connected to anything in the video, but it just jumps out to me that this number is 7 years  minus 1 month.         Just seems that it's not a coincidence.   hmmmm.  

Also - interesting -in all my life, in 12 states and 3 countries, and different churches across the nation - I've never once heard anyone give a good explanation for the 1335 days.    What's that about     It seems so random, but we know that nothing is random or by chance with God.   

Just in the last few months, i saw an end-times video related to the Blood moon tetrads, and he nailed it.  It doesn't work most years, but it works out this year,  and it also works out next year.   Using Rosh Hoshanah - Feast of Trumpets as the starting point.   

If we use Yom Teruah - [Feast of Trumpets] as the starting day [The very next feast to be fulfilled, and the Last Trumpet, which Paul explicitly says the resurrection happens at the Last trumpet] - and add 1260 days - 3 1/2 years - it lands exactly on Unleavened Bread/Passover.    **Passover is Nisan 14 and the 15th of Nisan starts the Feast of Unleavened bread and that's why on most calendars - it lumps the two together as Passover - 8 days total.   

Then, it just gets more mind-numbing - but it's exactly what we should expect.    Then, add the second day count - 1290 days - 3 1/2 prophetic years - which makes the total of 2550 and it lands exactly - to the very day on Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement.   ** Which just happens to be the very next feast in order to be fulfilled.   hmmm.   
Then, get this - if we go to the midpoint - Unleavened Bread, 2026 and add 1335 -- it falls on Hannukah, 2029,  - the feast of the dedication of the Temple, 


This would be just in time for the dedication of the 4th temple, built by Christ himself, which all the nations of the earth, will come every year and celebrate Feast of Booths, - Sukkot, when Christ Tabernacles with us - during the Sabbath - the 7th 1000 year period.    Hhhhmmmmm.   

I'm curious to know if any of you have any thoughts, / insight on if these two numbers are connected?   

whatif

Just wanted to say, I partly agree with what you said. Basically, the 1335 days are for those that survive into the Kingdom. But there is still destruction in the Kingdom. So does surviving into it mean only the righteous or does it also apply to the wicked who weren’t killed by the plagues as well…..

For a minute, let’s forget when we think we’re raptured. In reality, it’s about when the door is shut. From that moment till he removes the wicked from his kingdom is a time of wrath. Since the righteous inherit the Kingdom, obviously there will be those of other nations that we are told will come to know Christ. They will survive the things going on. The kingdom becomes a great mountain and spreads over the earth, so I’m guessing that people who were unbelievers will survive and can be blessed as those who convert then allowing them entrance into the kingdom because outside are dogs…

God's blessings to you, venge!  It seems to me that we have a few different groups of people who will go into the Kingdom.  First are the past, present, and future believers in Christ who will reign with the Lord, all of us having received our perfect, resurrection bodies from Him.  Next would be the remnant of Israel who have survived the Tribulation and have turned to Jesus and recognized Him as their Messiah.  Also, the resurrected saints of the Old Testament will be there--that is an amazing thing I'm so looking forward to seeing!  Next would be anyone else who has somehow managed to survive the horrific Tribulation period from any nation of the world and who have not taken the mark of the Beast or worshipped him.  I am fairly certain, just by imagining the scene, that many of those who survived that horrific time of devastation would feel themselves incredibly blessed to be made a citizen of the Lord's Kingdom on Earth.  Some would no doubt be Christians who escaped the antiChrist's clutches and will enter the Kingdom, while others may not have believed before Christ's return but nevertheless did not give themselves over to the antiChrist and his system.  These latter would be those that Christ and we as His saints will rule over.  Those who actually took the mark of the Beast or worshipped him will have no part in the kingdom.  In fact, Revelation 19:17-21 shows us they will meet a terrifying end:

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and commanders and mighty men, of horses and riders, of everyone slave and free, small and great.”  Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies assembled to wage war against the One seated on the horse, and against His army. But the beast was captured along with the false prophet, who on its behalf had performed signs deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both the beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. And the rest were killed with the sword that proceeded from the mouth of the One seated on the horse.  And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

I can imagine that anyone who witnesses that awful event, will be feeling mighty blessed to enter the Kingdom, even though the fallen nature will still be with some of them.

There will also be people born during the Kingdom, and these will eventually be required to make a choice as to whom they wish to serve once Satan is briefly loosed at the end of the thousand years.

God's blessings to you, socalexile! I'm not sure how to answer your question about the eclipse. However, here is a link to the calendar on Dr. Johnson's website. You can type in a year in the window at the top of the webpage and it will show you the Essene calendar for that year.

Good morning and God bless you, socalexile!  Regarding the question of gnosticism, I can tell you that I don't believe it is Dr. Johnson's intent to promote that.  He is a Bible-believing Christian and a scholar who has devoted much study to the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Yes, he does sell books, but my purpose in providing the link was merely to give access to the calendar so everyone can see what it looks like.  

"There were Essenes who believed in the Tanakh (Old Testament) who lived throughout the various cities of Israel from around the second century BC to the first century AD.  However, there were also groups of Gnostics and heretics who existed around the same time and called themselves 'Essenes.'  Much how today's Christians must deal with groups of New-Agers calling themselves 'Christians,' throughout history, the Essenes had heretical groups take on their name.  Even within the Essene Community in Israel, at least three different factions broke off from the believing remnant."  (Source: Josh Peck, The Lost Prophecies of Qumran: 2025 and the Final Age of Man, Defender Publishing, 2020.)
