While I calculate up to the seven year tribulation, I will be working with the Jewish/Babylonian/lunar calendar. I note here that I will also use Hebrew/Greek words in my calculations because they are essential for the reader to understand how we will reach the seven year tribulation of Daniel’s prophecy, which has yet to come. (“H7620.. shabuwa` shabua` shebu`ah.. Appropriately passive participle of H7650 as denominative of H7651; literally seven, i.e. a week (specifically of years): -seven, week”), found in Strong’s Module of concordance in e-Sword..
NOTE: “SHABUWA/Weeks of Years” and “SHABUA/Weeks of Years” are ALWAYS counted in SEVENS (ie 7 days, weeks, months, years). Please don’t lose sight of that fact or none of this will make sense. Is that how it works:
READ: DANIEL 9:24-26
7 (Weeks of years/”shabuwa”) x 7 = 49 years
“Threescore” (60 prophetic weeks, 7 years each), + (2 weeks of 7 years each), is calculated as follows:
60 x 7 + 2 (two weeks of seven years each is 14 years) = 434 prophetic years
Then we add the first (49) years, and this is what it looks like
60 x 7 + 14 (weeks of years) + 49 = 483 prophetic years, or (69 weeks/”shabuwa” meaning 7 years each), which have already been completed in biblical times
***REMEMBER, (70 PROPHETIC WEEKS), were determined on the holy city and its people. By my calculations, we are missing seven (7 prophetic years, or a “shabua” week) from Daniel’s prophecy. So where are the remaining seven years? You might ask… Well, now I’ll calculate them for you…
70 x 7 weeks of years = a total of (490) prophetic years. WAIT, there is more to calculate…
Let me pause for a moment to note that FROM, the initial decree to rebuild Jerusalem, (beginning in the year 444 BC in the month of Nisan – March/April). A, Christ’s FIRST coming, riding to the rebuilt Holy City of Jerusalem, on a donkey, took (483 or 69 Babylonian/Jewish years), after which Jesus was “cut off” or crucified, just a few days after leaving . Jerusalem. We still have seven, (7) weeks of years to go, so let’s find out what’s going on with that… Notice that in the Jewish/Babylonian calendar, there were always two months together.
Still working with the babylonian/jewish/lunar calendar
483 prophetic years, (from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the first coming of Christ)
490 Jewish years to fulfill Daniel’s prophecy (70, weeks of years/”shabuwa”)
490 minus 483 = 7 (YOUR SEVEN YEARS ARE REMAINING HERE)
After running the numbers, I have shown you that there are seven, (7) years left to fulfill Daniel’s prophecy (year 490), given to him in a vision, delivered by Gabriel. Now, let us notice that there is a reason why these last seven years (of Tribulation or Time of Trouble) have not materialized so far, it is because, since Jesus was crucified on the cross, (which marked the beginning of a period, or Dispensation of Grace, sometimes called GAP), we have been living in the GAP or Grace Period.
However, the Grace/Gap period will end and the last Seven, (7), TRIBULATION Years will have officially begun, when the Antichrist, (first beast, or prince, along with his companion, the False Prophet, second beast), enters the scene and makes a Prophetic Week/Shabua agreement/covenant with the Jews of Israel). This clearly DESTROYS the myth that there is no such thing as the Seven Year Tribulation. The Bible may not put specific dots on each (i) and cross each (T) with the exact wording, however all you have to do is CALCULATE!
MYTHS DESTROYED
MYTH ONE: There is NO Seven (7) Year Tribulation – My calculations in this article, (I believe), have proven that statement to be totally FALSE
MYTH TWO: That Jesus’ death on the cross is what ended or broke the covenant agreement that was made with the Jews of Israel… FALSE
NOTE: Let’s take a closer look at the second myth. The death of Jesus on the cross was NOT the cause of the breaking of the covenant with the Jewish people, quite the contrary. The second half of (DAN. 9:26), clearly states that Jesus did not die on the cross for himself or for the “prince’s people” (note, this prince is written with a lowercase p), the sometimes made reference to the Antichrist (in the Scriptures) as a prince. Also, notice (vs.25), it uses a capital letter (P) when referring to “Messiah” being “cut off” or crucified.
Verse (26) also says that the little (p) prince will come and destroy the “city and the sanctuary”, or Jerusalem and the Temple. THAT IS NOT GOD/JESUS. At that time, God destroyed the earth with a “flood”, REMEMBER Noah and the Arch? Verse (27), of Daniel’s vision/prophecy, lets us know that this prince will make a one-week, seven-year covenant “with many,” that is, the Jewish nation of Israel, I believe his name was Judah in biblical times. .
The prince/Antichrist will break this agreement with the Jews at “the middle of the week” or in the middle (7 years divided by 2 = 3 1/2 years), according to (DAN. 9:27), this is what ended to the sacrifices and prayers of the Jews in their beloved TEMPLE. OUR God will NEVER make and then break a promise. God does EVERYTHING in an orderly and timely manner.
Don’t forget my calculations and the Hebrew word, “SHABUWA” (meaning, weeks of years, each week = 7 years), which leaves ONLY one unfulfilled prophetic week. This is our remaining week/seven year TRIBULATION, which will END Daniel’s PROPHECY, (year 70), after which Jesus will make his SECOND TRIUMPHANT COMING, that’s the GOOD NEWS. Although Holy Scripture CLEARLY states that NO man will know the day or hour that the Son of man is to come (READ: Matthew 24:36-39…Focus on verses 36 and 37), make no mistake, God is coming back AGAIN. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
