The 2nd temple was completed on Adar 3 (Feb. 2), 515 BC, Ezra 6:15. There are 922,845 days from Adar 3 (Feb. 2, 515 BC) to October 1, 2012 AD (Feast of Ingathering). The factors of 922,845 are: 5 (judgment/ salvation), 17 (heaven), 3 (Purpose), 47 ([summer to Ingathering), 586 (1st Summer Harvest in Babylon - 47 years) =539 BC (end of Ingathering Harvest in physical Babylon)], 7 (Perfect Completion) and 11 (last hour of harvest).

An integral relationship exists between the Completion of the 2nd Temple in the sixth year of Darius 516/515 BC. The Persians recognized the year of reign for their Kings based on a spring season to the next spring season year. The month of Adar in 6th Year of reign under Darius, by Jewish reckoning, under a fall season to the next fall season year would take us to the year 515 B.C.

 

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.

 

Adar 3 begins on Feb. 2 - After 6 PM counts as new day, though under our reckoning of time it would still be the same day if recognized as 24 hours from 12:01 AM

Note:

 

Start of Jewish day: While it appears that, initially, the Hebrew day was reckoned from sunrise to sunset (Lev. 7:15-17), later when the new moon was used to determine months, the day was determined from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32; Neh. 13:19). During the time of Christ, the day started at sunset. That is why the Jews were anxious that he and the two thieves crucified with him died before sundown because the morrow was a "high day" (John 19:31).

Our Gregorian calendar aims to keep the vernal equinox on or close to March 21; hence, it follows the vernal equinox year. The average length of the Gregorian year is 365.2425 days. There is only a difference of 0.000302 (0.2425-0.242198) between the Tropical year (vernal equinox year) and a Gregorian Year. At this fractional difference, it would take 3,311 years just to generate one day of difference.

  • There are 2,526 years from Feb. 2, 515 BC (2nd Temple Completed) to Feb. 2, 2012 BC.
  • There are 243 days from Feb. 2, 2012 AD to October 1, 2012 AD (Feast of Ingathering).

The factors of 922,845 are: 5 (judgment/ salvation), 17 (heaven), 3 (Purpose), 47 ([summer to Ingathering), 586 (1st Summer Harvest in Babylon - 47 years) =539 BC (end of Ingathering Harvest in physical Babylon)], 7 (Perfect Completion) and 11 (last hour of harvest).

The number 5 is identified with Judgment/Salvation:

Numbers 7:71 And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

Joshua 10:26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.

Matthew 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Luke 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

The number 17 is identified with Heaven:

A spiritual purchase of Land in Israel by Jeremiah for 17 shekels typified the acquisition of the eternal Kingdom or Heaven:

Jer. 32:9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

Table 8 The Neo-Babylonian Kings

There were 47 years from the first season of Summer Harvest in 586 BC for the true believers carried captive into Babylon to the destruction of Babylon in 539 BC.

Babylon destruction in 539 BC typified the End of the World:

Jeremiah 25:12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

There were 48 years (End of Unsuccessful Summer Harvest in Judah - cursed by God not to receive latter rain) from the time Temple was burned down by the Babylonians in the 5 month (Av -Summer) in the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar 587/586 to the time Babylon was destroyed in 539 BC (which typified the end of the world/flood destroyed/beginning of a new earth/end of olive harvest):

2Kings 25:8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:

2Kings 25:9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he with fire.

The Babylonian’s years of reign for Kings were from one spring seasons to the next spring seasons, while the agriculture years are from one fall seasons to the next fall seasons. Since Jerusalem (The Temple) was burned in the 5 month (Av-July-Summer) in 587, any additional summer harvest occurring for the typified true believers (Jews in Babylon) would be owed to 586 BC for the harvest year 587/586 BC.

The 587/586 Agriculture Year

Rain Season or absence of rain - as the precursor to harvest  - 1st 6 months of a harvest year starts in 587 BC (Fall Season)

Harvest Season - the 2nd 6 months* of a harvest year ends in 586 BC (Fall Season)

*Note: Summer to Ingathering (End of Harvest) is comprised of the last 4 months (John 4:35) of the harvest season and is the only period of harvest season that requires both early and latter rain to be successful (total rain and harvest days are 296 owed to Summer to Feast of Ingathering) without the latter rain the Summer Harvest will wither)

The number 7 is identified with Perfection/Completion of set:

Perfected completed work of God

 

Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made

 

Perfect Completed set of all churches typified by 7

 

Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

The Significance of the 11th hour (final hour of harvest)

A 24 year period (1988 Adar - 2012 Tishri)* is a length of time that meets the spiritual reconciliation requirements of Revelation 9:15 of equaling (The length of the Spiritual Flood, as the flood of Noah's day was also a year that typified a final harvest season prior to a new earth):

 

*The first date that order given to "kill" the true believers Adar 1-13] TO THE YEAR 2012 [Tishri 15 Feast of Ingathering]) is a length of time [ 8,993 Days = 23 X 23 ( double Judgment) X 17 (Heaven)] that meets the spiritual reconciliation requirements of Revelation 9:15.

  1. an hour
  2. a day
  3. a month [The Hebrew word "chodesh" is used in reference to the words "new moon" in the KJV OT The verses in 2 Kings 4:23 and Ezekiel 46:6 reference the words "new moon" in association with the word [day.]
  4. a year

Revelation 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

24 year period 1988 - 2012 (Rev. 9:15)

Explanation

24 hours (hours as years)

The natural harvest of figs occurs on a yearly basis. The Final Harvest is typified as half of a day or 12 hours. 12 hours from sunrise to sunset is a Jewish day. A day consisting of night and day is 24 hours.

24 Days ( equals 1 month)

24 Years ( 24 days equals 24 years, days as years)

In

1 Chronicles 27:1 -15
24,000 servants served King David (Picture of Christ) for each of the 12 months. A thousand years is as 1 day to the Lord, see 2 Peter 3:8. God sometimes uses the number count of people to signify the passage of time, for example, the 42 followers of Ahaziah destroyed by King Jehu typified the spiritual 3 and 1/2 years of famine and the total reign of Satan of the physical organized churches throughout the last 19/18 years [1993/1994 AD to 2012 AD] of the Great Final Tribulation period.

(a)

  • Creation Tishri (Sept./Oct.) 11,013 BC (beginning Fall-planting Garden of Eden) + 13,000 years = 1988 Tishri (Sept./Oct. - beginning Fall-planting Garden of Eden) and end of the 12,999 harvest year (1987-1988)
  • The early rain attributable to the end of 12,999th harvest year starts in Tishri (Sept./Oct.) 1987. The beginning of 13,000th Year of the earth's existence is the end of the 12,999th harvest year Tishri (Sept./Oct.) 1988. This is similar to the end of the 23rd harvest year is the beginning of the 24th year.
