note (19 doubled): When God wants to place special emphasis on a number God doubles or raises that number to the 2nd power, Leviticus 25:8
Leviticus 25:8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
The completion of the temple spiritually typified the completed work of all those to be saved:
1Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. T he Lord stirred Haggai in the 2nd year of Darius (520 BC) to compel those who were in Judah to complete the work of finishing the 2nd Temple.
Haggai 1:1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
The 2nd Temple was completed 4 years from prophecy of Haggai in 516/515 BC in the 6th year of Darius:
Ezra 6:15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. |

The year 520 BC also shares the same relationship associated with the spiritual season owed to the start of the latter rain harvest in 1996/1997 AD, as there are 2,516 (148 x 17) years from 520 BC to the harvest year 1996/1997 AD: The greater final harvest is typified as being completed in 4 months or [29.5 X 4 = 118 days] just as the greater house or 2nd Temple was completed in 4 years in 516 /515 BC, Haggai 2:9:
Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
The last 4 months of harvest activity Summer to the Feast of Ingathering is unique. Summer to the Feast of Ingathering is unique because this season requires both the early and latter rain to be completed as oppose to the Passover and Pentecost Harvest Seasons which require only the early rain, see the diagram below that illustrates the Associated Harvest Time and the Associated Rain Season:
James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Jehoaichin and Zedekiah of Judah In his sixth year( 599 -598) Nebuchanezzer marched into north Syria and in his seventh (598 -597) took Jerusalem from Jehoiachin son a successor of Jehoaikim (2 King 24:10-17). On March15/16, 597, he set up as king-still another son of Josiah, namely, Zedekiah. The last exploit of Nebuchadnezzar which is recorded in the Babylonian Chronicle is a campaign against the Elamites. Ezekiel 33:21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten. |

Note:The same Hebrew word "chodesh" from one new moon to another new moon [29.5 days] in Isaiah 66:23 is used in Genesis 8:5 translated as month.
Genesis 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month [2320 chodesh], on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon [2320 chodesh] to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD Psalms 104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
The end of Harvest is associated with end of the world:
Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world [165 aion]; and the reapers are the angels.
The Bible last greater harvest is associated with the last 4 months of the Harvest Year. Early Rain is associated with the 1st month (29.5 days or 29 days) of Summer and Latter Rain is associated with the last 3 months of the final 4 month harvest or completion of the final harvest (29.5 x 3 = 88.5, or 89 days): Note: The completion of the 2nd temple is identified with the latter house in Haggai 2:9 as the final harvest is identified with latter rain :
Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. Job 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
The beginning of Summer Harvest or first month of summer (Sivan 16 - Tammuz 14) is attributable to early rain, latter rain is needed or crops and trees will wither in Summer.
Joel 1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. Psalms 32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. The last 3 months of harvest is soley attributable to the total the days of latter rain:
Amos 4:7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
The last 3 months of productive harvest period (rain and the harvest) is from Tammuz 15 to Tiishri 15 (3 months). This last productive harvest period is identified with 148 days and 88 days. 2012 AD is the 13,024 th year of the earth’s existence. 13,024 has factors of 88 and 148. 88 identified with the final harvest during the Flood of Noah's day and 148 is the division of days for last 4 months attributable to latter rain or last 3 months of harvest
Zechariah 14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
The following tables further illustrates the division of early and latter rain (living water -Zechariah 14:8) attributable to the 1st month of Summer and the following 3 months of harvest or to the Feast of Ingathering. |

The Significance of the number 19 The 19th Jubile and the year 457 BC Exodus 1447/1446 (Exodus) + 40 years =1407/1406 (entered Canaan - the start of the fiftieth year count). The jubile occurred every fiftieth year. The year 457/456 BC equals 950 year from 1407/1406 BC, which is a total of 19 jubiles. The 19th jubile signified the completion of the latter rain harvest. 19 years signified the length of time in which the spiritual latter rain harvest was concluded outside Canaan during Jacob’s Day. Leviticus 25:11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 19 years signified the length of time of the End of Great Tribulation (from the dearth in 1879 BC to Jacob's Death in 1860 BC) in which the spiritual latter rain harvest was concluded outside Canaan during Jacob’s Day of Great Tribulation). Acts 7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. Acts 7:12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. *If 1879 BC was the beginning year of failed rained (no rain), then the first failed harvest season in Chanaan was 1878 BC during the time of Jacob, since the Bible links the rain season (1st 6 months of a harvest year) with its harvest season (2nd 6 months of a harvest year). James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 19 years is the total time of possible Great Tribulation in our day as this was the total length of Great Tribulation in Jacob's Day (1879 -19 = 1860 BC). There are 3,872 years (88 [3 months to Harvest/God decides whether to rain or not to rain on the city] x 11 [last hour] x 4 [complete end]) from 1879 BC to 1993/1994 AD, The 1993 (planting/plowing/ rain season) + 19 = 2012. The year 1993 /1994 is the 13,005th (11,013 + 1992) year of the earth's existence (153 X 17 X 5), completion of the Pentecost Harvest (early rain/firstfruit) and the year that begins famine in our local congregations. John 21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. |

A multiple of 19 (57 years) is identified with the first harvest year in Babylon for the captives carried away under Jehoiachin: The first harvest year for Captitives carried away under Jehoiachin into Babylon would have been 597/596. 597/596 BC - 57 (19 x 3) = 539 BC. Abstract from Kingdom of Priest - A History of Old Testament Israel by Eugene H. Merill p. 451-452 Jehoaichin and Zedekiah of Judah In his sixth year( 599 -598) Nebuchanezzer marched into north Syria and in his seventh (598 -597) took Jerusalem from Jehoiachin son a successor of Jehoaikim (2 King 24:10-17). On March15/16, 597, he set up as king-still another son of Josiah, namely, Zedekiah. The last exploit of Nebuchadnezzar which is recorded in the Babylonian Chronicle is a campaign against the Elamites. Unfortunately the chronicle breaks off at 594-593, and nothing more is known from Babylonian sources until 557 -556. The Old Testament speaks of such momentous accomplishments as his capture of Jerusalem in 587-586, but the extrabiblical texts are silent on the whole matter. After replacing his father on the throne of David, Jehoiachin evidently maintained an anti-Babylonian posture that immediately brought Nebuchadnezzar's stern reaction. After only three months in power Jehoiachin found his city surrounded by the Babylonian hosts and he quickly capitulated . This time the royal family was deported along with other leading citizens including Ezekiel the prophet. The cream of Judah's military force and her most skillful craftsmen also had to abandon their land and homes to go into exile. Finally, Nebuchaanezzar helped himself once more' to the temple treasures and carried them back to Babylon as a sign of his complete success. Though Zedekiah, Jehoiachin's uncle and Josiah's son, was left as puppet ruler of Judah, it is clear that the Jewish people regarded Jehoiachin as the true scion of David until the day of his death. He never returned to Jerusalem, it is true, but after long years as a polit-ical prisoner in Babylon he was placed on a government pension and apparently was treated more as an honored guest of Babylon than as her prisoner (2 Kings 25:27-30). It must have seemed to the exile Jewish community that the time would surely come when Jehoiachin would lead them back triumphantly to Jerusalem and restore the former glory of the house of David. Zedekiah was, however, king de facto of whatever was left of Judah in 597. The carrying away of Jeconiah (other name used for this King was Jehoiachin) and the other captives such as Ezekiel in 597 BC into Babylon typified harvest first ripe or Pentecost Harvest attributable to Early Rain: Jeremiah 24:1 The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. Jeremiah 24:2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad. Jeremiah 24:3 Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. Jeremiah 24:4 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah 24:5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good. Additional Study being developed (importance of number 19) The year 457 BC was a jubile Sabbath (land rested). The harvest season contains a Sabbath 50 days within the Harvest Season (Pentecost). A 127 days later from Pentecost is the final Harvest Season Sabbath or Ingathering. A tropical year is 365.24218967 days. There are 901,417 days from 457 BC to 2012 AD. The factors of 901,417 are 11 (last hour of harvest) X 19 X 19 (land rested in Canaan to End of Great Tribulation in Jacob Day) X 227 (Pentecost). |
