God shows us that we are indeed on track
Although the following information is'nt proof for a date... it is amazing in detail!
Important dates
7B.C. - the actual date of Jesus Christ's birth
1A.D. - the date originally given for Jesus' birth (our calendar separates B.C./A.D. with Jesus' preconceived error birth date)
33A.D. - Jesus' death/ascension/Church Age began
1988 - This Final Great Tribulation began
1994 - The Great Multitude which no man could number began
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we take the 1,955 years of the Church Age (33A.D. to 1988) and go back and add the 33 years from Jesus' original birthdate of year "1" from man's error we get... 1988 - the same year this FGT began (1,955 + 33 = 1988)!
If we take the 1,955 years of the Church Age and go back and add 6 more years from Jesus' real birthdate of 7B.C. we get... 1994 - the same year this FGT's 2nd part began (1,955 + 33 + 6 = 1994)!
(1994) (1988) l---------- 1955 years (Church Age) --------------------l

The prophesy of John the Baptist began to materialize in the year 8B.C. as Zachariah the priest was met by the angel Gabriel within the Temple and his wife became pregnant that same year. This occurred 6 months before Mary was later told that she would give birth to the Messiah. Jesus was born in the year 7B.C.. The Temple was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70A.D.. This equates to a total of 77 years.
8B.C. + 70B.C. = 78 years - 1 year = 77 years.
(There is no year 0 going from B.C. to A.D.)
Malachi 4:5-6 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Luke 1:16-17 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Luke 1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
The prophesy:
Jesus Himself declared that the sign of the End is when you shall see the nation of Israel once again become a nation. The prophesy of Israel becoming a nation once again materialized in the year 1948 as World War II came to an end. Israel as a nation was/is represented as the fig tree. Forty years later our Final Great Tribulation began in 1988. This 3 part Final Great Tribulation will most likely come to completion in the year 2025. At that time the Rapture will occur and the Church and all of Creation will be destroyed. This equates to a total of 77 years.
2025 - 1948 = 77 years.
Hosea 9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? ...
Matthew 24:32-35 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Revelation 10:5-7 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Both prophesies:
The prophesy of John the baptist until Jewish Temple destruction = 77 years.
The prophesy of Israel as a sign until Church/Creation destruction = 77 years.
