Spiritual Picture

Examples and Explanations

430

Children of Israel in Bondage -True Believers cast into prison (physical Egypt or World) during the Final Tribulation Period

Picture of True Believers during the Tribulation who occupy physical Egypt (World)

Exodus 12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

1John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

True Believers, however, do not occupy Spiritual Egypt ( represented by Jerusalem on Earth the physical organized churches) during the Final Tribulation Period

Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Purpose

The number 3 in the Bible is used to illustrate Purpose or something established by God

Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

Joshua 1:11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.

Mark 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Two significant biblical events that occurred within 1290 years.

1860/1859 B.C. Death of Jacob ( picture of End of Tribulation period) to 569 BC the end of Ezekiel 's Ministry (completion of the Watchman's work, another picture of the end of the world)

Background:

Ezekiel: God will strengthen.

(1.) 1 Chr. 24:16, “Jehezekel.”

(2.) One of the great prophets, the son of Buzi the priest (Ezek. 1:3). He was one of the Jewish exiles who settled at Tel-Abib, on the banks of the Chebar, “in the land of the Chaldeans.” He was probably carried away captive with Jehoiachin (1:2; 2 Kings 24:14-16) in 597 BC.

Last Prophetic writing of Ezekiel came to him 27 years later after his carrying away into Babylon captivity.

Ezekiel 29:17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

*597 BC + 27 years and the first month would have been the beginning year in 570 BC, the end of that year would taken Ezekiel’s ministry into the 28th year or 569 BC . The number 28 is made up of factors of 4 (the complete end) and 7 (complete perfection).

Jacob's life in Egypt typified as a picture of the Final 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.

Jacob born 2007 BC, dies at the age of 147

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.

Year of Jacob's Death

2007 -147 = approximately 1860-1859 BC

Also, when we apply the Significant Biblical Event Timing Rule to the 1290 Years between . Death of Jacob ( picture of End of Tribulation period) to the end of Ezekiel 's Ministry (completion of the Watchman's work we apparently discover the year 2012, as a possible year for the End of the World.

**The final tribulation period is typified as an hour, and an hour can spiritually typify a year:

Revelation 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

1Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
