God in Genesis 6:3 mentions a time is coming in which the Spirit of God will not strive with man. It is a time at which man is 120 years old. The word "yet" in Genesis 6:3 is translated from the Hebrew word "awz". The number 120 is the product of the factors 12 x 10. The number 12 in the Bible illustrate Fullness. The number 10 is used in the Bible to illustrate completeness.

Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet [227. awz;] his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Hebrew Strong's Concordance

227. awz; a demonstrative adverb; at that time or place; also as a conjunction, therefore: — beginning, for, from, hitherto, now, of old, once, since, then, at which time, yet.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913):

Strive

1. To make efforts; to use exertions; to endeavor with earnestness; to labor hard.

In the Bible we see the number 12 used to represent the actual number of 13 ( Super-fullness). For example in 1Kings 7:1, where Solomon completed all his house in 13 years.

Examples where the number 12 represents actually 13 in the Bible:

12 Apostles but actually there were 13

12 Tribes of Israel but actually there were 13

Unlocking the actual passage of time when the Spirit of God no longer works earnestly (strives) for the harvesting of the souls of men.

The first step tin unlocking the actual time on earth, when the Holy Spirit no longer strives with men on earth in Genesis 6:3, is to consider whether the factor 12 in 12*10 (which equal 120) can be substituted with the number 13. Since the Bible uses the number 12 when it is referring to the actual number of 13, we could substitute 130 (13*10) for 120 (12 *10) in Genesis 6:3. Another tool to further help us discover the actual passage of time is similar to the Significant Event Timing Rule is accomplished by taking the number 10 to an exponent of 3, which in our case is 10 ³ which equals 1,000. Finally when we multiply 13 times 1,000 we arrive at the product of 13,000 years, which is the probable actual passage of time before the Holy Spirit (God) no longer strives with man.

The number 13 is also identified with the year 1988, the super-fullness of time (13 *1000). The Year 1988 also is the year Satan starts his final attack on the physical organized churches.

In addition during the Final Great Tribulation, which starts in 1994 the key element is the Holy Spirit's work is no longer present in the physical organized churches. If the Holy Spirit is no longer present (in the mist, see 2Thessalonians 2:7 below) the work of salvation (harvesting soul) is no longer being accomplished through the mechanism of the physical organized church.

2Thessalonians 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

2Thessalonians 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

2Thessalonians 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

2Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way [3319 mesos].

3319 mesos, mes´-os; from 3326; middle (as an adjective or (neuter) noun):—among, x before them, between, + forth, mid(-day, -night), midst, way.

2Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

We also see the number of days (year) that Jacob lived before being told by God to leave Canaan (physical promise land on earth or picture of the physical organized church) and go to physical Egypt was a 130 (13*10) years. Jacob plight is a picture of the Final Tribulation period which had started 2 year prior to God's command for Jacob to leave Canaan, at which time Jacob would have been 128 years old. We learned earlier from Jewish Harvest Festivals from Pentecost (Start of the church age) to the Feast of Ingathering (picture of the end of the harvest season) was 128 days. Though Jacob and his family continue to live in Canaan for the first two years of drought they lived only on the grain gathered from prior seasons of harvesting, until God commanded Jacob to go to Egypt were he received his substance (Grain) from Egypt for the remaining 17 years of his life (Jacob Dies at the age 147), for a total of 19 years.

Genesis 45:6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

Genesis 47:9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

Genesis 47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.

The following diagram parallels the Final Tribulation in our day with plight of Jacob in the First Great Tribulation:

Solomon born in 991 BC, see

Jewish children reach the age of responsibility for their own actions at 13 years.  However, God's instructions in the Bible did not allow men to go to war or to begin in the priesthood until the age of 20.

Before David dies, he appoints as king his son Solomon, Solomon is 13 in 978 BC and 20 in 971BC :

1Kings 2:2 I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;

1Kings 2:3 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: )

991 BC -13 years = 978 BC
