Josephus "The Antiquities of the Jews", Book 11, Chapter 1, Section 3,“When Cyrus had said this to the Israelites (i.e. go back and rebuild the Temple), the rulers of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, with the Levites and priests, went in haste to Jerusalem; yet did many of them stay at Babylon, as not willing to leave their possessions.”

  13. Ezek 5:16,“Then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread.”

  14. "Breaking the staff of bread" speaks to our Lord being cutoff from His people. Compare John 6:35, 48 with Dan 9:26.

  18. Ezekiel Prophecy of Second Coming (Ezk 4:4-8) Spring 536 BC was the end of Babylonian captivity

  19. Ezekiel Prophecy of Second Coming (Ezk 4:4-8) Spring 536 BC was the end of Babylonian captivity 907,200 days divided by 365.25 (Julian Calendar) = 2,483.8 years

  20. Ezekiel Prophecy of Second Coming (Ezk 4:4-8) Spring 536 BC was the end of Babylonian captivity 907,200 days divided by 365.25 (Julian Calendar) = 2,483.8 years 536 BC to 1 BC = 536 years 1 AD to 1948 AD = 1948 years 536 + 1948 = 2,484 years

  21. Ezekiel Prophecy of Second Coming (Ezk 4:4-8) Spring 536 BC was the end of Babylonian captivity 907,200 days divided by 365.25 (Julian Calendar) = 2,483.8 years 536 BC to 1 BC = 536 years 1 AD to 1948 AD = 1948 years 536 + 1948 = 2,484 years On May 18, 1948 Israel signed its declaration of Independence. (End of discipline and exile).

  22. The final part of this calculation is noted in Mat 24:32-35.

  23. In Biblical terms a generation can mean either 40 years or 70 years.

  24. 70 is the product of two perfect numbers, 7 and 10. 7 represents spiritual perfection, 10 represents perfect divine order. Their product signifies intensification of each.

  25. "Seventy signifies perfect spiritual order carried out with all spiritual power and significance." (E.W. Bullinger, “Number in Scripture”, pg. 270)

  26. 70 Related to Jerusalem

  27. 70 Related to Jerusalem1) Our Lord: Luke 9:51, with 10:1, 17

  28. 70 Related to Jerusalem1) Our Lord: Luke 9:51, with 10:1, 172) The Sabbath: Jer 25:11, with 2 Chron 36:15-21

  29. 70 Related to Jerusalem1) Our Lord: Luke 9:51, with 10:1, 172) The Sabbath: Jer 25:11, with 2 Chron 36:15-213) Discipline - 70 x 7: Dan 9:24

  30. Jerusalem is the place of our Lord's return. Zech 14:4-8

  31. Zech 14:4, “In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. …8And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem…”

  32. From 1948 AD to the coming of our Lord to Tabernacle amongst man, 1948 + 70 = the year 2018.

  33. Subtract the 7 year Tribulation, and the Rapture could occur as late as the year 2011.

  34. Heb 11:6,“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and thatHe is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”

  35. Jer 29:13,“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”
