To Anyone who would like learn more about Jesus Christ and how His two day covenant with man will soon end we see several indicators in signs & scripture.
First, we are to understand that one day to God in heaven is the equivalent to 1,000 years on earth to man.
2 Peter 3:8 the apostle Peter writes, “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”
Is our covenant with Jesus Christ really only 2 days (or 2,000 years) ?
Let’s look to scripture, first there’s Christ Abiding Two Days
“Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.” (John 11:5-6)
When you hear that someone you love is sick, it is highly irregular to abide two days still in the same place where you are! Yet, this is precisely what Jesus did in the case of Lazarus. We are told why He did this in verse 4: “…This sickness is unto death ,but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.” Well, Lazarus certainly did die (vs. 14), but it wasn’t Jesus’ plan for him to remain dead. Jesus tarried two extra days before going to Lazarus so that there would be enough time for Lazarus to die and be dead for four days (vs. 39). Any Jew understood that corruption set in on a corpse after three days (Psa. 16:10), so raising Lazarus from the dead after four days would be perceived by everyone as a genuine miracle, thus glorifying God as Jesus stated in verse four. What’s so interesting, as far as the typology is concerned, is the fact that there just happens to be a two day waiting period, allowing Lazarus time to be dead four days. This two day period pictures the two millennium church age in which Israel appears to become dead as a nation. Then, when it seems that all hope is gone (as with Lazarus), Christ restores His chosen people to their land (1900-1948), resurrects them as a nation (1948), then gives to them a new birth (Great Tribulation). See Ezekiel 37:1-14 and Isaiah 66:8 for the Scriptural support. When Jesus returns, He will revive Israel just as He revived Lazarus, after “two days.”
Jews Believe after Two Days
“So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word.” (John 4:40-41) Here we see Jesus abiding “two days” with the Samaritans, a people that the Jews counted unclean (vs. 9). Then, we read verses 43 to 45: “Now after two days she departed hence, and went into Galilee. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him . . .”
The Galilaean Jews received Christ after He had spent “two days” with a people that they counted to be unclean. So, Israel will receive Him after He has spent two thousand years with mostly Gentiles, calling out a people for His name (Acts 15:14).
Israel Revived after Two Days
One of the most remarkable passages that supports the doctrine of God having a seven thousand year plan is found in Hosea 5:15-6:2:
“I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.”
About the best the standard commentators can do with the passage is make some application to the third day resurrection of Jesus (a no brainer, if you ever saw one), and some can’t even manage that. This is largely because most commentators before the twentieth century were post-millennial or a-millennial and did not believe in the pre-millennial return of Christ..
With God’s help, I believe we can make a little more sense out of the passage. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence . . .” This refers to Jesus returning to heaven after being rejected and crucified by the Jews. He will remain there until they “acknowledge their offense” and “seek” him in the Great Tribulation, which the passage calls “their affliction.” They will then “return unto the LORD” and be revived “after two days,” which equals a two thousand year church age, toward the end of which Israel becomes a nation (1948) in preparation for a spiritual revival later. Finally, “in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight” refers to the nation being totally revived and regenerated at the Second Coming of Christ and living in His sight in the millennial kingdom, which is the “third day” after Calvary, the “third day” after their offense of rejecting Christ.
Today, Tomorrow, and the Third Day
“And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.” (Luke 13:32) Isn’t the language interesting in light of what we’ve been studying? Obviously three literal days can be meant in the immediate context, but the picture is crystal clear for anyone with a prophetic eye. Jesus spends the two millennial days (the church age) after Calvary curing people of their sins and replacing their devils with His Holy Spirit. Then He is “perfected” at His Second Coming, which is the third day after Calvary “when that which is perfect is come.” (I Cor. 13:10).
The Third Day Marriage
“And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples,to the marriage.” (John2:1-2)
Why does the Holy Spirit bother to mention that this marriage was on the “third day” in distinction from other days? What difference does it make, if it were on the third day, the second day, or the tenth or fifteenth day? It makes a big difference in the context of our study, because it is on the third millennial day after Calvary that the Marriage of the Lamb occurs, when Christ receives His bride (Rev. 19:7). To remind us that all of this is after six millennial days of human history, we see in John 2:6-11 that there were “six” water pots, and the water content of each was turned into wine, thus pointing to the joy that Israel and the heirs of the earth will display when Christ rules on the third millennial day following Calvary (Zch. 10:7; Song. 1:4; Deu. 14:26; Joel 2:19; Psa. 4:7).
The Lord Comes Down On the Third Day
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.” (Exo. 19:10-11)
There it is again. The people were sanctified for two days before the Lord came down in their sight on the third day, obviously pointing to the third millennial day after Calvary, which follows 2,000 years of Christ sanctifying a people for His name. But that’s not all. Verses sixteen through twenty offer numerous Second Coming references on this “third day.” There is the “morning” and the “thunders and lightnings,” the “thick cloud,” the “voice of the trumpet,” the “smoke,” the fact that the mount “quaked,” then “the LORD came down,” and “Moses went up.”
The Third Day House of the LORD
In II Kings 20:5, God assured Hezekiah that He would heal him of his sickness by saying, “.. behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shall go up to the house of the Lord.” Again,we see two days of healing and then a completion on the third day. Christ began healing sinners at His First Coming, and He continues healing sinners for two thousand years. Then the “house of the LORD” is established in the third millennial day after Calvary, which is the seventh and final millennial day from the creation. A good reference is Micah 4:1: “But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.”
The Good Samaritan’s “Two Pence”
The parable of the good Samaritan is one of the most favorite lessons given by Jesus, obviously due to the strength of its moral teaching. But, as we are about to see, the story offers a bit of prophecy as well.
“And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.” (Luke 10:30-35) Okay, put on your typology helmet just one more time; we’re going for a little ride. In type, the man that went “down” from Jerusalem to Jericho is mankind, who took a big step down into sin in the garden of Eden. When he did so, Satan “stripped him of his raiment,” which speaks of man originally being clothed in righteousness, but losing his righteousness due to sin. He is now “wounded” and “half dead.” The term “half dead” is perfect because man died spiritually in Eden, but not physically. To this day, all lost men are “half dead.”
The priest and the Levite fail to help the man, picturing how religion and legalism fails to help sinners today. Then a Samaritan, picturing Jesus, had compassion on him and did a number of things for him. First, He “bound up his wounds,” picturing how Jesus can bind up the wounds of sin and make a man whole again. Then he poured in “oil and wine,” which reminds us of how we are sealed with the Holy Spirit, which gives us the joy of the Lord once we are saved. Then he “set him on his own beast,” picturing the way Jesus wants us to bring our burdens to him. Then He “brought him to an inn, and took care of him,” rather than leave him where He found him, which speaks of Christ wanting His people to become part of a good church so He can take care of them. Then He departed on the next days with the promise of coming again: “..he took out two pence ,and gave the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.” If you’ll check Matthew 20:2, you will see that a penny was a day’s pay at that time, which means that two pence is two day’s pay. The Good Samaritan planned to return after two days !
God has used the moons circuit to highlight three important 7 year periods.~See Below~Marking Creation,Crucifixion & Second Advent (Psalm 89:37) says, “Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies.Selah” Psalm 104:19 “He appointed the moon for seasons ..” Genesis 1:15 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, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
From Jewish religious texts:
- Ben Sira 43:6 It is the moon that marks the changing seasons, governing the times, their lasting sign.
- Enoch 73:13 The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision in three hundred and sixty-four days. In three years the days are one thousand and ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days.
God’s prophetic plan, which fits into the timeframe of seven thousand years (7 days= 1 week) Having exactly 5,998 years behind us means we are about to finish our final 6th day (of the church age) meaning that we are at the threshold of the seventh millennial day, which will be Christ’s Sabbath kingdom rest on earth.
Let’s also look at The Fig Tree Generation: – The generation that will not pass till all these things be fulfilled.
In May 14th 1948, Israel became a sovereign nation thus the fig tree come back to life and started shooting forth. The fig tree (Israel) that seemed dead sprung back to life, putting forth tender branches and leaves.
A person born in 1950 is not of the 1948 generation. Neither is a person born in 1960, 2000 or any other year. It is only those born in the year 1948 that are of the generation that saw the fig tree shoot forth.
Many of us today found Israel being a sovereign nation when we were born. We found Israel already shooting forth leaves on her tender branches.
The generation that began with the planting of the fig tree (Israel) in 1948 is the generation that will not pass till all things prophesied be fulfilled.
Psalms 90:10 “The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they be eighty years, yet is their labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”
Humanity lifespan on earth now is 70 or by reason 80 years. Being alive after these years is God’s grace on you.
I.e. if they are 80 years there is labour and sorrow figurative of the great tribulation and it is soon cut off thus Jesus ends it when He comes riding on a horse to Armageddon battle and we fly away.
Because of this prophecy in Psalms 90:10 we know a biblical generation to be 80 years max.
On September 23 2017 the Revelation 12 sign appeared in the heavens on the 70th Feast of Trumpets since Israel became a nation in 1948.
(Explained in 3 minute video)
Revelation 12:1-2 “Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.”
God marked the 70th year from Israel’s rebirth letting us know He returns for the church at the 80th Feast of Trumpets after 10 years of labor and sorrow (2017-2027) 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 (years): be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
1948 + 80= 2028 we fly away as Jerusalem brings in their New Year equivalent of our 2028 year on Feast of Trumpets 2027 ! Remember Psalms 90:10 “The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they be eighty years, yet is their labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”
Ezekiel 46:1 The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days (6000 years) but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
The only festival celebrated with the sighting of the new moon is the Feast of Trumpets. It’s also the only festival that no man knows when exactly when it will occur. This is due to the fact that it begins on the new moon. So it’s literally “the day and hour no man knows” (Matthew 24:36) It’s also known as “The Hidden Day” !
All the feasts were shadows of what were to come, so we should take particular note.
The first four spring feasts were fulfilled to the EXACT DAY & HOUR during the first coming of Jesus Christ therefore we know the last three feasts will fulfill in the same manner beginning with the feast of trumpets, coming later in the year during the fall. And the interesting thing about these three remaining feasts (Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles) is that they have not been fulfilled at any point in history so far… they all await the return of the Messiah !!!
Remember, God told us we WOULD know of His return if we watched and follow Him in truth and spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of the darkness.
The last trumpet at the Feast of Trumpets 2027 heralds the end of the “Church Age” or the “Age of Grace.” The gates of heaven will be opened for this last great in-gathering, after this event they will be closed. The Bride of Christ will be complete; the full number will have come in! (Romans 11:25) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
More evidence 2027 is the year of Jesus’ return:
Google ‘Noon Solar Eclipse over Jerusalem August 2nd 2027’ This will be the fulfillment of Amos 8:9 The Great & Terrible Day of the Lord (Isaiah 16:3 , Zechariah 14:6) The church is to watch on Feast of Trumpets Oct 2nd 2027 (Which will be Oct 1 in the US) .Theres a major moon witness (Psalm 89:37) Dr Christian Widener found a second decree from the book of Daniel that calculates to 2027 and everyone overlooked the mid point Abomination of Desolation as well as The Anti Christ publicly revealed.
Science is now confirming scripture as major magnetic pole shift will happen in under 3 years from now https://youtu.be/hf_TvDJe8lE
Revelation 3:3: Remember therefore how you have received and heard and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come thee as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon.
The most important relationship for every one of us is our relationship with Jesus Christ. Choosing to believe that he is who he claimed to be—the Son of God and the only way to salvation—and receiving him by faith as your Lord and Savior is the most vital act anyone will ever do. We want life. He is Life. We need cleansing. He is the Living Water.
Here is a simple prayer if you have not yet given your life to Jesus and invited him into yours:
Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God, that you died on the cross to rescue me from sin and death and to restore me to the Father. I choose now to turn away from my sins, my self-centeredness, and every part of my life that does not please you. I choose you. I give myself to you. I receive your forgiveness and ask you to take your rightful place in my life as my Savior and Lord. Come reign in my heart, fill me with your love and your life, your Holy Spirit and help me to become a person who is truly loving—a person like you. Restore me, Jesus. Live in me. Love through me. Thank you, God. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
