Do You Know Which End (Time) Is Up? 3/29/2023 11:50:02 AM
Please note that “End Times” is usually in the plural. The ‘End Times’ is a series of separate steps.
1. Chaotic times (read now)
2. A Chastisement (similar to the Flood and Sodom fire)
3. An Era of Peace
4. Falling away of Faith
5. Antichrist
6. Jesus returns
7. Final Judgement
8. New Heaven and a New Earth
Everyone likes to assume this all happens quickly. What if there are centuries involved between the various parts of the End? (Other than the time of the Antichrist, which would appear to be 3 and one half years.). Let me paint a speculative, rough scenario for you. Lets start with the Thousand year/One day equivalents. Combine this with the Hebrew Calendar date. (See my blog titled “End of the World by the Numbers” for more details.)
1. On the Ides of March in 2040, the Hebrew calendar reaches the year 5800.
2. That number will be 80% of the way through day number 6 of creation on that basis.
3. 80% through the day in our daily timekeeping puts us at about sunset.
4. In Hebrew daily timekeeping, 80% would put one at about midafternoon (read Crucifixion time of day).
5. This points to Chastisement completion time.
Next comes the Era of Peace and everything else. No one knows when or for how long, but let me sketch out some possible dates.
1. 2240 will be Hebrew year 6,000. The end of the Era of Peace? Will everything else happen then, or…
2. The 31st century will see the end of the seventh one thousand year day. (See my blog titled “End of the World by the Numbers”, again). Will this be the End? Or will it be parts of the End?
3. Nostradamus calls for the world to End ‘quietly’. That might tend to indicate that everything may be ‘settled’ for a while before the ‘End End’. The date he predicted is 3793 AD. Interestingly, this date matches the Hebrew year that Jesus was crucified.
LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE SKY
Enough about when. Here is some how. In 2014, scientists discovered a star that has collapsed to a diamond the diameter of the Earth. If you read the last couple chapters of the book of Revelation, a new Heaven descends to the Earth. It is described in terms of gemstones. Dimensions are given that are quite large. BTW, it rains rubies and sapphires on Jupiter.
