• The shortening of days is identified with start of complete famine in the physical organized churches in 1994. In Matthew 24:19 we see the total absence of the initial saving word typified as milk (1 Peter 2:2) is absent in total once Satan has complete control of the physical organized churches," Abomination that Maketh Desolate."

Matthew 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

1Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

  • The shortening of days is also identified in Matthew 24:20 as occurring at the time of spiritual Sabbath in 5754 (49th Year in the Spiritual Season of Harvest) to 5755 (50th Year in the Spiritual Season of Harvest) and winter (Adar-is a period of winter when the Physical Organized Churches typified as the Ship is destroyed by the Euroclydon Storm and a period of Summer - the absence of latter rain ).

Amos 3:15 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.

Paul's shipwreck which typified the destruction of the physical organized churches occurs in winter:

Acts 27:10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

Acts 27:11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

Acts 27:12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

  • The historical events associated with the shortening of Days during the time of Jehu (11th King of Israel) and Hazel (Enemy of Israel-King of Syria) share the same Final Harvest 2012 End Time Numericals 40, 92, 18, 4 and 7.

Shortening of Days is associated with Winter, the Sabbath Day and Great Tribulation: 49 40-year periods (34 AD to 1994 AD) and 49 50-year periods (457 BC to 1994 AD) are identified with the year 5754 (1993-1994). The 49th year and the following 50th year are both identified as time in which no labor by man was to be perform in God's Field. The start of the Great Tribulation is identified as time when the Field produced no substance as spiritually typified in 1879 BC in Jacob's Day (2 years Jacob dwelled in Cannon in a land that produced no substance) and 1994 (the beginning of the absence of latter rain in Adar 1994, insured that within the Physical Organized Churches that no Final Harvest would occur).

 

Matthew 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened

 

Shortening of Days associated with Winter Mark 13:17 -20.

 

Mark 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Mark 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

Marbk 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

Mark 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

Summary Note as Period of no flesh Saved

The beginning of the shortening of days as related to no flesh (latter rain flesh) being saved from all appearances in the Bible appears to be associated with the Jewish year 5754 (1993/1994), for the following reasons:

  • An absence of latter rain occurs (Adar 1994, no possibility of latter rain harvest ) in that year.
  • The abomination of desolation occurs after Satan gains complete control of the physical organized churches (1290 X 2) Day/Years from 587 BC to 1994 AD.
  • 1993/1994 (5754) and 1994/1995(5755) are sabbatical years in relationship to land having rest, Leviticus 25:4, 11-12.
  • The Final Spiritual Famine is typified by the one in Elijah's Day, James 5-17. The famine of Elijah's Day lasted 3 and 1/2 years, and then the Earth brought forth fruit. This time period is parallel to the time period from Adar 1994 (5754) to Tishri 1997 (5758). The Final Spiritual Famine also lasts one-half of the 7 years (cut short) that the famine during Jacob's Day lasted.

Genesis 41:29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

Genesis 41:30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

 

The Biblical patterns in previous example of End Time Spiritual Famine and Harvest show that the blessing of the Spiritual Harvest occurs outside the realm of where the believer would normally be found: Cannon, Judah, Israel and in Our Day the Physical Organized Churches.

Believers received nourishment apart from what would normally be considered their spiritual habitat during the time of Famine.

 

  • Poor widow woman during Elijah's Day, received directly from God barrel of meal that never went empty, 1Kings 17:14.
  • Jacob, received his bread from Egypt, Acts 7:11-12.
  • Judah (Jerusalem) experienced famine just prior to its complete destruction in 587 BC true believer told to go to Physical Babylon.

Jeremiah 21:9 He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

The Blessing of the Final Harvest (or Spiritual Final Harvest) is always apart from the Spiritual habitat of where the believers would normally be found:

 

  • Harvest that followed Jacob was outside of Cannon.
  • Harvest occurred outside of Judah after the destruction Jerusalem in 587 BC. Those that stayed in Judah eventually perished since the command by God was to become captive (Thus leave Judah).

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.

  • Return of Rain during Elijah's Day had no spiritual effect on the saving of physical Israel (Northern Kingdom) when Rain returned, Israel was still subsequently destroyed in 709 BC only remnant typified by the 7,000 that that had not bowed to knee to Baal were saved,1Kings 19:18 ,

The interrelationship associated with Noah's Flood and the Final Short Season: (During the Spiritual Flood of our Day 1988 - 2012 the abundance of Water serve as Saving for the True Believers and Judgement for the Unbeliever).

 

In the Flood of Noah's Day, the water typified the Saving Gospel by which Noah was saved:

1Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

 

The spiritual relationship of Wheat harvest and the Flood:

From our previous study we learned that the Context of Matthew 24:36-45 parallels the Flood's destruction of the physical organized churches when Christ comes secretly and removes the candlestick. The Spiritual Flood in our Day serves as Judgment started in Adar 1988 and resulted in the total destruction of the physical organized churches in 1994 (the absence of latter rain eliminates the Final Harvest there/Eurcolydon Storm/ water as judgment).

 

Jeremiah 46:8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

 

However, the Flood initially does not destroy the field typified as the world where seeds is sown and God uses the work of men to facilitate the process. Wheat is sown during fall to produce the spring crop. Jesus used the illustration of the ripening of spring harvest to identify that 4 months of harvest time remaining in the World's Final Harvest., John 4:35.

The physical land of Egypt was typified as the field that brought in the Final Harvest, during the last 12 years (Spiritual Day) of Jacob's Life (2 years of Famine while in Cannon, 5 years of Famine in Egypt and 12 years the return of harvest (Day) without Cannon -Jacob was not there). It is very interesting that the Flooding of the field is normally part of field cultivation in physical Egypt.

D. Land and Water -Abstract from Anchor Bible Dictionary

Based on the distribution of water, different modes of occupying the Egyptian valley can be characterized as “natural irrigation,” basin irrigation, perennial irrigation, and artificial irrigation (Willcocks and Craig 1913: 299-426; Schenkel 1978: 21-23).

1. Natural Irrigation. The simplest agriculture in the valley involved no modification of the flood. As the river receded, a cultivator would follow its progressive fall with rows of plantings. Probably derived from seasonal playa agriculture, this technique appears elsewhere in Africa where shallow seasonal bodies of water occur (McIntosh and McIntosh 1984: 159; Butzer 1976: 19). It was recently used in parts of Nubia and where irrigation is not practicable, and it is sometimes enhanced by terracing or by the erection of small dam-traps which create mud flats in the braided channels of the Second Cataract (Vercoutter 1966: 161-63, pls. XVI-XVII).

The flood as water however serves as saving (Just as it spiritually did for Noah) specifically for the spiritual wheat cultivation Wheat cultivation, ripening and its harvest is specifically identified with the end time. From nature we learn, Wheat harvest even more so than figs trees are more heavily dependent upon an abundance water (Saving Gospel) to be completed. Thus, wheat is sown during the time of a spiritual flood (saving -similar to Noah's Saving) for those sealed by God.

wheat - Britanica 2005

Though grown under a wide range of climates and soils, wheat is best adapted to temperate regions with rainfall between 30 and 90 cm (12 and 36 inches). Winter and spring wheat are the two major types of the crop, with the severity of the winter determining whether a winter or spring type is cultivated. Winterwheat is always sown in the fall; spring wheat is generally sown in the spring but can be sown in the fall where winters are mild.

Wheat during the 10 days that follows Pentecost (1994) needs the latter rain to complete its fall harvest The latter rains did not return until 1997. We see the parallelism in the Flood of Noah's Day when the Earth became Dry on Cheshvan 27 signaling the need for the coming later rain:

 

Genesis 8:14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

 

Analyzing the Progression of the Flood during Noah's Day and its spiritual relationship to the End Time 2012 Final harvest

 

  • The beginning of the Flood Typifies the beginning of Satan's attack upon the True believer typified by the Woman with Child(Spiritual Picture of the True Believers)

Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

Matthew 13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth [1093. ghay];: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

Water as judgment decreases in its intensity as Judgment upon the Earth (the coming latter rain and Final Harvest). It is interesting that in Genesis 7:24 from the 150 days that the waters are abated and continue their abatement until the month of Tammuz in Genesis 8:5.

Genesis 7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 8:3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

Genesis 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

  • Tishri Final Harvest - End of the Flood (4989 BC) defeat of Satan typified by the destruction of Babylon (Babylon typified as a Flood) in 539 BC

Babylon as a Flood

Jeremiah 47:2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.

The End of Flood is the End of Spiritual Babylon

Jeremiah 51:36 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

 

  • Cheshvan 27 Earth Dry - Genesis 8:14 has a spiritual twist to it because of the duality nature of the flood as saving and judgment. The flood in Noah's Day started in Tishri (an early Rain) month. Wheat as stated earlier is a crop that is dependent on an abundance of water, and the wheat fields of Egypt were cultivated byway of the flood, Spring Wheat which ripens in Summer is sown during the early rain, but needs the latter rain to continue and flourish. Jesus ties the Wheat harvest the beginning of the ripening of wheat as the beginning of Summer occurring 4 months to the Final Harvest. The absence of rain is identified with the season of summer (1994) with the latter rains being needed in Adar (1997) to complete the wheat crop.

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.

 

Note (a) The year 5754 is 49-fifties (457 BC to 1994 AD) and 49 -forties (34 AD to 1994 AD). The number

50 is associated with a harvest cycle and the number 40 (Children who were in the wilderness for 40 years celebrated a harvest when they crossed the Jordan, Passover). There are 49 harvest days identified with Pentecost Harvest.

 

Joshua 5:10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

Joshua 5:11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.

Joshua 5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

The Days are shorten following the completion of the Pentecost Harvest to the Feast of Ingathering (Final Harvest)

Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

Romans 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

Romans 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

The Days are shorten attributable to the lack of rain

 

Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened

James 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

James 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Reign of Jehu (Days cut Short) - Jehu became King in 841 B C. There are 132 years from the time Jehu became King until Israel was destroyed by the Assyrians (Syria) in 709 BC.

 

2Kings 10:26 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.

2Kings 10:27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.

2Kings 10:28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

2Kings 10:29 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.

2Kings 10:30 And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

2Kings 10:31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.

2Kings 10:32 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;

 

A week is used in the Bible sometime to represent a year. If we divide 7 (a week as a year) into 132, we arrive at 18.85714285714, If we multiply the decimal 0.85714285714 times 365 (solar year) we arrive at total of 312 days, If we then add 18 years plus the 312 days to Cheshvan 27, 1993 we would arrive at the Feast of Ingathering (Tishri 15) in the year 2012.

When the earth became dry in Cheshvan 27 5754 (1993), it spiritually represented the coming absence of latter rain (earth is dry). Also, Cheshvan 27, 1993 is the date that is exactly 2,300 days from Av 1, 5747 (1987), which is the most probable day associated with the sealing of the true believer, prior to the beginning of the Spiritual Flood of our Day, please see the chart below and other significant characteristics related to the month of Cheshvan.

Tishri 15 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.

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). At 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).

Person/Event

Verses/ Explanation

Period

Hazel - Powerful king of Aram-Damascus between ca. 841-801 BC remembered by the Israelites as one of their most brutal enemies

The Reign Of Hazel of 40 years is typified a testing period for the Northern Kingdom (Israel), after the 40 Israel fails the test and is destroyed by the Assyrians 92 years later in 709 BC. This parallels the 40 years that the physical organized churches are tested from Iyar 5708 (1948, Israel a Nation) to 5747 (after Iyar 1987 it would be in the 40th year) The physical organized churches typified as Spiritual Babylon are then destroyed 9200 [92 X100 (Completion)], days later Av 1, 1987 to Tishri 15, 2012)

40 years

Jehu Reign

The reign of Jehu was 28 years. The number 28 is a multiple of 7 times 4. There are 7 seven years from the sealing of the true believers in 5747 (1987) to 5754 (1993/94) the shortening of days resulting from the lack of latter rain. The beginning of the Final Latter Rain Harvest is 4 year from 5754 to Tishri 5758 (1997).

2Kings 10:35 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

2Kings 10:36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years

28 years

Beginning of Jehu reign 841 BC to fall of Northern Kingdom (Israel) 709 BC. At the time of Jehu God indicated he began to cut short the days of Israel

2Kings 10:30 And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

2Kings 10:31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.

2Kings 10:32 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;

2Kings 10:33 From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

Under the Significant Biblical Event Timing Rule there are 2,720 Years between the destruction of Northern Kingdom of Israel, and the final destruction of the physical organized churches (typified as rebellious Israel) and the rest of the unsaved world in the year 2012.
