Subject: Jewish calendar? |
Bible Note: Thanks Emmaus, I was trying to figure out approximately the time of year using the type and antitype theory and the date that Antiochus desecrated the temple in Jerusalem, 1st Macc. 1:57. It’s interesting that Daniel prophesied the exact same event, yet Antiochus didn’t fulfill it because Jesus said that it was yet in the future, therefore Antiochus could have been portraying a type of the Antichrist. Matthew 24:15-24 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. If one were to subtract 42 months from the 15th of Casleu it “might” give the approximate time of year that the Antichrist will make a covenant with the Jews, (A covenant with death), that he will break. Isaiah 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. I think we can always see where we are on God’s prophetic clock by watching Israel! Thanks again, CDBJ |
