The year 587/586 BC is the first harvest year following the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in the summer of 587 BC. There are 48 years 587 BC to 539 BC. 48 is a multiple of 3 [purpose] x 16 [there are 16 weeks from summer to the feast of ingathering] or 4 X 4 [4 months is identified with the final harvest from summer to ingathering]. The Bible defines the division of days for early rain, latter rain, and a final season of summer to the feast of Ingathering with 5 months or 148 days or 296 days divided by two (Zech. 14:8). A 48-year period is also unique because there are 592 (lunar months) during that span of time. 592 has factors of 148 and 4.

The Temple was destroyed in the Summer of 587 BC in the eleventh (sacred year) of Zedekiah, which was also the fifth month and 10th day in the 19th (sacred year) of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

An integral relationship of summer exist between the first harvest of 586 BC in Babylon by the captives that followed the destruction of Temple in Judah and the harvest of 1996 AD the start of a successful summer harvest outside the physical organized churches.

Those carried away captive during the destruction of Judah by the Babylonians were considered Good Figs, and their earthly spiritual abode was in Judah (Where the Temple was). Yet, their Temple was destroyed and they bring in a type of Final Harvest not in Judah, but in physical Babylon.

16 is identified with the length of summer to the Feast of Ingathering, as there are 16 weeks from summer to the Feast of Ingathering.

There are 16 years from the Feast of Ingathering (September 28) in 1996 to the Feast of Ingathering (October 1 ) in 2012 shares an integral relationship with 148, as 148 is identified with the division of days for early rain, latter rain, and a final season of summer to the feast of Ingathering with 5 months or 296 days divided by two (Zech. 14:8). Both, physical Judah and the physical organized Churches were typified as having no latter rain.* The rule of Satan for a failed summer (no latter rain) to the feast of Ingahtering harvest, and total latter rain days are also associated with 5 months in Revelation 9:5.

We see that there are 5,848 days from the Feast of Ingathering (September 28) in 1996 to the Feast of Ingathering (October 1) in 2012.

The factors of 5,848 are 172 and 34.

172 X 34 = 5848

172 + 34 = 206

There are 354 days in a lunar year (29.5 X 12 = 354).

Psalms 104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

When we subtract 206 days from a lunar year we arrive at 148.

The number 172 -Porters "kept the gates" in Nehemiah 11-9 are identified with 172. Those given the command to watch for the return of Christ are typified as porters in Mark 13:34.

The number 34 - The beginning of the generation of Peleg is identified with 34 (the generation of Peleg is identified with the division of a failed summer harvest season within the physical organized churches 1988-1996).

Genesis 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:

1Chronicles 1:19 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name was Joktan.
