From the birth of the Lord Jesus (Lord of Latter Rain, Zechariah 10:1) in month of October 7 BC to October 2012 AD (the month of the Feast of Ingathering) there is a total of 737,087 days (2,018 sidereal years). The factors for the number 737,087 are 59 (latter rain/harvest resulting from latter rain), 13 (super-fullness) and 31 X 31 (Length of reign of Last Good King of Israel- Josiah on Earth).

 

The sidereal year is the time for the Sun to return to the same position in respect to the stars of the celestial sphere. The sidereal year is the orbital period of Earth. A sidereal year equals 365.25636042 solar days. The sidereal year is 20 minutes and 24 seconds longer than the tropical year. The tropical year is the time for the Earth to complete one revolution with respect to the framework provided by the intersection of the ecliptic (the plane of the orbit of the Earth) and the plane of the equator (the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the Earth). Because of the precession of the equinoxes, this framework moves slowly westward along the ecliptic with respect to the fixed stars as a consequence, the Earth completes this year before it completes a full orbit as measured in a fixed reference frame. Therefore a tropical year is shorter than the sidereal year. The exact length of a tropical year depends on the chosen starting point: for example the vernal equinox year is the time between successive vernal equinoxes. 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.

 

  • The mean tropical year (averaged over all ecliptic points) as a time piece created by God in the Celestial Universe is a mechanism for determining sign, seasons, days, and years in Genesis 1:14. (A separate study related to the total days [ 737,058] in tropical years from the 1st coming of Christ on Earth October 1, 7 BC to the second coming of Christ October 1, 2012 will also be presented in our next 2012 Bible Study)
  • The sidereal year (not aligned between successive equinoxes) is a time piece created by God in the Celestial Universe is a mechanism for determining sign, days, and years, Genesis 1:14.

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs [226. owth, oth]and for seasons, and for days, and years:

The timings of our seasons and years are self-evident by God's creation. The timings of the heavenly bodies owed to our physical seasons and years needs no writings (1Thessalonians 5:1 and Romans 1:18 -20), as they are physical observable and thier timings are self-evident, for example:

  • a solar year is 365 days,
  • a lunar month 29.5 days,
  • Summer to the Feast of Ingathering is 4 month or 118 days (29.5 days in a lunar month X 4),
  • a day is 24 hours,
  • the vernal equinox on March 21 in our Gregorian Calendar

However, a spiritual understanding of the seasons and years is necessary to accurately arrive at his coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, since God specifically correlates the times and seasons with his return (1Thessalonians 5:1-2).

 

1Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

1Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven [3772. ouranos, oo-ran-os ]against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

 

 

Jesus, made it abundantly clear in Matthew 16:3 that problem would not be understanding the physical timing of seasons and years, but, instead, the problem would be understanding the spiritual meanings of the years and seasons.

 

Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

 

It is the spiritual meaning of times keepers created by the God that God must in his own time, allow the true believers to understand if the true believers should decipher accurately the return of Christ.

 

Acts 1:6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”

Acts 1:7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within His own authority.

 

Note: That when the disciples asked this question to the Lord Jesus, in 33 AD it was not near the time of the Lord's Return or End of the World, so God did not permit the true believers (disciples) to understand the times and the seasons.

 

God does allow the true believers understanding of the times and seasons, when impending forecast of God's judgment is near:

1Chronicles 12:32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

 

GOD specifically indicates in the Book of Amos and 1Thessalonians that all believers (brethren and prophets) that GOD will reveal the timing of the Coming of Christ (End of World).

 

Amos 3:5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?

Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

1Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

1Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

1Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief

 

Two Examples were the total day count between significant biblical events emphasizes a spiritual meaning or sign related to the end time events:

Example 1:

  • The formation of National Israel on Iyar 5, 1948, was a warning of coming Judgment to come upon the physical organized churches (the dwelling place where true believers normally can be found). There are 23,517 days from Iyar 5 (May 14), 1948 to Tishri 15 (October 1 - Feast of Ingathering), 2012. The factors of 23,517 days are: 3 (Purpose), 117 (Summer to Feast of Ingathering) and 67 (Judgment that befalls on the inhabitants near or in Jerusalem). - click to see study

Note:

 

The feast of ingathering would be the 118th day. The absence of latter rain prevents physical Jerusalem from participating in the Feast of Tabernacles, which in our day could only be the local congregations or physical organized churches. We see Rebellious Jerusalem also known as spiritual Egypt or the physical organized churches does not participate in the 118th day the Final Harvest (Ingathering/Tabernacles),see Zechariah 14:18.

 

Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

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.

Zechariah 14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

 

The true believers outside physical Judah (outside the physical organized churches) did participate in the 118th day. - click to see study

Example 2:

  • The first date"Adar 1" where the order was given to "kill" the true believers Adar [1-13 (February 18-19)] 1988 to THE YEAR 2012 [Tishri 15/16 (October 1) 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, a period of 24 years.

Adar is the 12th month the number illustrates 12 (Fullness). The command for killing of all the true believers (Spiritual Jews) who are the bearers of the saving gospel is typified in Esther 3:13 as occurring in the dates between the 1st to the 13th of Adar. Adar 1 is also identified with a beginning period of no latter rain - Chart Interrelations End Time Period of No Latter Rain 609 BC to 1987/1988 AD

 

.

Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Esther 3:13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one [259 echad] day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey

 

Note

 

The 13,000th year (beginning) is Tishri 1988, but the rain that effects the 1988 harvest season occurs in the prior year or Tishri 1987 to Nisan 1988. The year 1988 is also interesting, since it represents the year when Christ comes looking for latter rain fruit when it is not their season for latter rain fruit since the Pentecost harvest was not completed until 1994

.

Mark 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

 

The Pentecost Harvest was completed in 1994. The years 1987 to 1994 typified a period of no latter rain. The Pentecost Harvest could be completed in 1994 because it did not require latter rain. The latter rain harvest was due in 1994, but was delayed by a period of 3 and 1/2 years from Adar 1994 -Tishri 1997. The final harvest attributable solely to latter rain is 15 years from Tishri 1997 or 2012 AD (see - Hezekiah dies 15 years from his 14th year of his reign. - study). There is a period of 18 weeks from Pentecost to the Feast of Ingathering. There is also a period of 18 years from the completion of Pentecost 1994 to Tishri 15th (Feast of Ingathering) 2012.

There are 8 years of unproductive summer from 1988 to 1996 in the physical organized churches, just as the season of summer on a calendar has 8 weeks (Sivan 16 to Av 15).

Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Christ coming is uniquely identified with Passover. The Passover season is unique since it also typifies the end of latter rain. The end of latter rain typifies the conning end of the Fall Harvest.

The final Season of harvest is the Sultry season of 59 days. The sultry season is totally dependent on latter rain. Summer is a season that requires both rain s (early and latter rain).
