MODERN “END TIME”
FORECASTS & MODELS
Hurricane Ian Roared Ashore On September 28, 2022:
2 days before and miles below where early forecast models predicted
The Hurricane Ian Forecast was continually updated in 2022
Later, as Hurricane Ian drew nearer and entered into the Gulf of Mexico, the additional data allowed the Forecasts to be updated which resulted in a much more accurate projection as to the time (and place) of impact.
A Coming Global Hurricane of Fire
The Bible warns one day a global hurricane of war, disease, fire, and death will suddenly strike and engulf the whole Earth.
Isaac Newton’s “2060” Forecast
Isaac Newton’s “2060” forecast was to help prepare a future generation for that coming time the Bible warns of when the whole World will be struck by a “hurricane” of fire, war, disease, famine and death. He also felt “knowledge” would increase and prophetic “signs” would be given to help those in that generation more accurately forecast the “times.”
Modern Prophetic Forecasts of the “Time of the End”
Over the years a number of forecasts or models of the coming Apocalypse have been presented which were based on sound Biblical principles, but did not yet have sufficient data to help narrow down a more accurate timeline.
EARLIER Bible-Based Forecast Models Now Eliminated:
- 1900 AD: (Darby) Forecasting the 20th Century
- 1988: 1948 (Israel back as a nation) + 40 Years
- 2007: 1967 (Jerusalem reunited as Capital) + 40 Years
- 2018: 1948 Israel back as a nation + 70 Years
CURRENT & FUTURE Forecasts Under Observation:
- 2037 = 1967 (Jerusalem reunited) + 70 Years (current)
- 2030 = Isaac Newton 2,060 prophetic (360-day) years
- 2041 = Isaac Newton 800 AD + 1260 prophetic years
- 2060 = Isaac Newton 800 AD + 1260 modern years
- 2068 = 1948 (Israel back) + 120 Years (see Genesis 6:3)
- 2087 = 1967 (Jerusalem) + 120 Years (see Genesis 6:3)
- 2239 = Modern Jewish “Year 6000” Final Year
2037 AD = The Current Working Forecast
2037 Would mark the END Year of the Tribulation
This will be the prophetic working model forecasting the year by which ALL of the Bible prophecies (including the Rapture, Antichrist, Apocalypse, and Armageddon) will be fulfilled. This is the working model until the year 2037 AD, if “all these things” have not yet come to pass by then.
2030 Would then mark the BEGINNING Year
Since we are told the “Apocalypse” will last exactly 7 years (2,520 days), we must understand the 2037 “end of all things” prophetic forecast must then BEGIN in 2030 AD!!
Due to overlapping ranges, Isaac Newton’s 2030 & 2041 adjusted forecasts are included in the “2037” Forecast.
As a note, this will not mark the “end of the World,” but it will bring forth the new “Age,” when Messiah (Jesus Christ) will return to restore all things in perfect peace and beauty, which the Bible says will last for 1000 years (the “7th Day”).
As with any scientific or mathematical forecast we must now begin gathering data to see if it “Supports” or “Contradicts” this current prophetic Forecast.
DATA SUPPORTING the “2037” Prophetic Forecast:
1. ISRAEL back with JERUSALEM re-united as capital
“Jesus then says,
“Now learn this parable from the fig tree (Israel):”
“When its branch has already become tender
and puts forth leaves,
(Israel back as a nation with Jerusalem as its capital)
You know that summer is near …
Assuredly, I say to you,
This generation (who sees this take place)
Will by no means pass away
Until ALL these things take place.” (The “Apocalypse”)
(Mark 13:28-30, also Matt 24:32-34, Luke 21:29-33)
“All these things” means everything the Bible warns will happen before the promise of Christ’s return, including the Rapture, the Antichrist, the Apocalypse and Armageddon.
So, HOW LONG is a Generation?
“The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years”
(Psalm 90:10)
So, here it says a generation is 70 years … or, up to 80 years under special circumstances.
This is why many feel the 70-year prophetic countdown may have started in 1967 (when Jerusalem was again reunited with Israel as its capital).
In the book of Daniel we find the angel who provided Daniel with the prophecy of the final “week of years” (7 years), may have also provided us with a hint that Jerusalem is the critical starting point for the final 7 years …
“Seventy weeks (of years) are determined upon thy people
And upon thy Holy City (Jerusalem!!!),
To finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins,
And to make reconciliation for iniquity,
And to bring in everlasting righteousness,
And to seal up the vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the most Holy.”
(Daniel 9:24)
This Bible Prophecy seems to clearly specify “Jerusalem” (which was prophetically reunited with Israel as its capital in 1967) as the object of the prophecy.
1967 plus 70 years (to FINISH the final 7-year “week”):
1967 + 70 years = 2037
Then: 2037 minus 7 years (to BEGIN the final “week”):
2037 – 7 years (a “week of years”) = 2030
#2. GAZA!!
Watch GAZA!!! We will find later in this book the Bible warns Gaza is linked to the Apocalypse!! Also called “The Day of God’s Fierce Anger and Wrath” … and the world would see notable troubles rising out of Gaza as a warning the time draws near.
#3. A Coming “One-World” Government
The Bible warns just before the coming Apocalypse all nations of the world will be uniting (United Nations?) under a coming One-World government which will rise, and a World Leader representing this powerful body of nations would then enforce a Peace Treaty (“covenant”) upon Israel.
The Bible also warns the signing of this coming “Peace Plan” will mark the very day which the 7-Year Apocalypse will begin!!
This coming World Leader (who the Bible warns will be the “Antichrist”) will be considered “a man of peace” and will be given authority to rule over ALL nations of the world …
“And authority was given him
over EVERY tribe, tongue, and nation.”
(Revelation 13:7)
As noted in the earlier chapter, simply go to the UN website: https://sdgs.un.org/2030agenda …
… and you will find the United Nations 2030 Agenda reads like a page out of Bible Prophecy as it prepares an Agenda for one man to enforce … and for the whole world to obey!
Also, please know this coming World Leader (the Antichrist) will be extremely popular (with great ‘unnatural’ powers), and will be viewed as a man of God who will bring great Peace, Security, and Prosperity to the whole world!!
#4. Book of Revelation “Population Prophecies”
In the book of Revelation we find the Bible provides us with a simple 2-part mathematical prophecy concerning the devastation upon all Mankind who will be living on Earth during the time of the coming “Apocalypse” …
FIRST: One-fourth of all Mankind will be destroyed …
“When He opened the fourth seal,
I heard the voice
of the fourth living creature
Saying, ‘Come and see.’
And I looked, and behold, a pale horse.
And the name of him who sat on it was Death,
and Hades followed with him.
And power was given to them
over a FOURTH of the Earth,
to kill with sword, with hunger,
with death, and by the beasts of the Earth.”
(The ‘beasts’ may be political and religious rulers)
(Revelation 6:7-8)
THEN: One-third of all who are left will be destroyed …
“Then the sixth angel sounded:
And I heard a voice
From the four horns of the golden altar
which is before God,
Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet,
“Release the four angels who are bound
at the great river Euphrates.”
So the four angels,
Who had been prepared for the hour
and day and month and year,
Were released to kill a THIRD of Mankind.”
(Revelation 9:13-15)
This gets very interesting when you consider the following:
It appears God is giving us a hint as to WHEN these things will take place through a simple mathematical prophecy …
Children are taught simple fractions in 1st or 2nd grade (often using slices of a cake as an example), and when God uses mathematics in the Bible He usually keeps it simple enough for a child to understand.
So, we are warned that first, 1/4 of the population on Earth will be destroyed, and then soon after, 1/3 of all Mankind will be destroyed DURING the coming 7-Year Tribulation.
This narrows the window of time these prophecies can be fulfilled to a time when the World’s Population can first be divisible by 4, and then by 3, and it MUST take place sometime around 70 years from the time Israel would become a nation with Jerusalem as its capital (in 1967), and with GAZA “forsaken” (which began in 2005).
Below is a News Headline which millions around the world saw fairly recently, back in 2022 …
The United Nations (U.N.) Population Division
Estimates the World Population
Reached 8 Billion on November 15, 2022.
And, from the U.S. Census Bureau …
World Population Estimated at 8 Billion
Census.gov
https://www.census.gov › library › stories › 2023/11 › w
Now, consider how a World Population of 8 Billion fits the prophetic model …
A World Population of 8 billion IS divisible by 4 …
1/4 of 8 (billion) = 2 (billion)
This then leaves a number which IS divisible by 3 …
8 (billion) – 2 (billion) = 6 (billion):
1/3 of 6 (billion) = 2 billion
HOW LONG will this prophetically significant population number last … and WHEN will it rise to 9 Billion which would not fit the prophetic “1/4” and then “1/3” model??
Q: “When will the World’s Population reach 9 Billion?”
2037
From Population Connection’s “Population Milestones” …
“The United Nations Population Division projects
that the world will reach 9 billion people in 2037
and 10 billion in 2058.”
(https://populationconnection.org › Learn)
2037 – 7 (years) = 2030!!!
2030: Another prophetic “Witness”
So far, we have discovered the year 2030 is a valid date to at least consider as a prophetic START of the coming 7-Year (“70th Week of Daniel”) period of time, sometimes called the “Apocalypse,” through two “witnesses”:
- The Current “Jerusalem” model Forecast (2030- 2037)
- Isaac Newton’s “2060” (2030 using “360-Day” years)
A Third Witness
Now, let’s consider a third source which presents a compelling case the year 2030 might even be the END date!
This “third witness” (the “Messiah 2030” study), also points to 2030 as a prophetically significant year, and their unique scriptural perspective is creating a great deal of interest …
www.Messiah2030Project.com
However, they are proposing 2030 as the END DATE, with all the prophetic global judgments found in the book of Revelation being fulfilled within 3 ½ years BEFORE 2030.
While our studies forecast the “Apocalypse” (all those events found in the book of Revelation) might BEGIN in 2030.
Yet, we both agree that many major prophetic events, such as the Gog-Magog War (Russia, Iran, and allies vs. Israel), the rise of a popular World Leader (the Antichrist) who will first rise over 10-Nations of the Roman Empire (perhaps NATO?) before being lifted up as Ruler (Dictator) over the World must all take place sometime before year 2030 is complete.
Given this, we feel the years 2024 – 2030 could represent a potential “Launch Window” or “Red Zone” for the Rapture!
“FOUR AGES OF ELIJAH”
To help clarify why the “20XX” time frame is prophetically significant, many early Jewish and Christian teachers/writers wrote that at the end of 6000 years of human history (the year 6000 AM, per the Jewish Calendar), a global cataclysmic judgment will end Mankind’s (and Satan’s) rule over the Earth. At that time, on the “7th Day (Millennium) of Rest” … (and the “3rd Day” after the Resurrection), Jesus Christ will return to restore the Earth in awesome peace and beauty, and will reign for 1000 years (to fulfill the “Millennial Week”).
This prophecy is rarely mentioned in today’s churches.
Yet, this prophecy was the one thing AGREED upon by both the early Jewish and Christian writers and teachers!!
Elijah’s Prophetic 4 Ages
(4 “AGES” = 7000 “YEARS” = 7 “DAYS”)
This will also help answer questions some have when reading biblical passages concerning the “last days” or “end of the Age.”
The FIRST 6000 Years (6 DAYS) of human history were to be prophetically divided into THREE AGES of 2000 Years each:
1st: CHAOS (Serpent in the Garden – Fallen Angels – Flood)
2nd: TORAH (The Law – Abraham – Moses – King David)
3rd: MESSIAH (As ‘Light unto Gentiles’ before Kingdom Age)
2000 YEARS (2 Days) |
2000 YEARS (2 Days) |
2000 YEARS (2 Days) |
1000 YEARS (1 Day) |
Age of CHAOS |
Age of TORAH (Law) |
Age of MESSIAH | Age of His KINGDOM |
Adam to Abraham | Abraham to Messiah/Christ | “1st” to “2nd” Coming |
Messiah’s Rule |
Ancient historian Josephus, the Talmud and the commentary, Tanna Debe Eliyyahu, all say that Elijah taught there would be six thousand years of human history and then the establishment of a one-thousand-year Messianic Kingdom.
All three of our 2030 “witnesses” we have reviewed agree the prophetic 6000-year timeline should be taken seriously and literally (even Isaac Newton notes this 6000 year, “7th Day” prophecy in his writings).
We will add more details in the “7th Day Prophecy” chapter found later in this book.
Having now entered into the 21st Century …
We’re almost there!
In the next chapter we will present the case that year 2025 AD will also be biblical year 5950 AM …
AND, that 5950 AM will mark the last 50-Year “Jubilee” before the prophetic 120th Jubilee (from Adam), which is also the prophetic 40th Jubilee from Messiah (Jesus Christ), which will begin the 7th Day Millennial “Day of Rest,” when Messiah will reign over Israel and all the World during the coming “Kingdom Age,” which will be the most restful, peaceful, and joyful period in all of Mankind’s History!!!
“He will swallow up death FOREVER,
and the Lord GOD
Will wipe away tears
from all faces”
