    Dan.12:7 "Time, Times and Half" (2 of 2)

    So the silence in heaven for 'the space half an hour' (Re.8:1) is where we need look into. A remnant of Israel shall be allowed to be part of the building work. (Is.28:16).

    "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,/Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." (Re.14:6-7) The word of God is tagged by 4 so Gospel outreach whether north south east or west is of the self-same quality So what does the Immanuel factor imply? "And, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."(Matt.28:20)This commission was delivered before Ascension. Consequently this half an hour in heaven must be considered part of 'And upholding all things by the word of his power, (He.1:3). In short 42 as a tag is employed to set the temporal events and this necessitate the angel telling John, "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."

    The Bible,mainly Revelation is full of enigmas,puzzle.You referred to Revelation 8;1 that says:There was silence in heaven for 'the space half an hour'.How can we understand this period of time that GOD revealed to JESUS through His sealed book?

    Moses in his pray to the Lord GOD said:Ps.90:12-Teach us to number our days,that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.Verse 4- a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday.

    Peter Apostle quoting Psalm 90,wrote:Beloved,be not ignorant of this one thing,that one Day is with the Lord as a thousand years,and a thousand years as one Day-2Pe.3:8.

    In fact,in accord to the Biblical Chronology,the source of Truth,on GOD's six Days of works and one Day of rest(a total of seven days)plus the Scriptures that teach that one Day is with the Lord as a thousand years(II Pet.3:8)so MANKIND would go through six GOD Days of 1,000 years each(a total of 6000 years) plus a Millennium of 1000 years rest (now a total of 7000 years).

    That said:Once 1000 years on GOD's clock is one Day, if we know that MANKIND would go through six GOD Days of 1,000 years each, so according to the MANKIND calendar mainly among the Gentile nations, more specifically Christians nations, one day has 24 hours, so in my view on hour on GOD's clock correspond to a period of around 42 years -->1000/24=41,666 years.Thus we can say that "half an hour" on GOD's clock correspond to around 21 years (20,8...)

    Would be this period of around 21 years(the same period that was necessary to finish the rebuild of Jerusalem,and begining a new period after the consecration of the Temple in Jerusalem)yeah,would be this 21 years corresponding to the first 21 years of the current millennium?

    Not curious,of course,but trying to search an understanding of the Revelation 8:1 about "half an hour" on GOD's clock,pointing the beginning of the fulfillment in this current millennium the sound of the first Trumpet of the successive seven GOD's Trumpets.

    hey Oseas, from a "prophetic" standpoint a half an hour equals 7 days. Jesus said his holy angels would be coming with him when he comes back. Matthew 25:31, could it be the "silence" there is because noone is home? We learn from Daniel that a "prophetic" day is equal to a Hebrew year, 360 days. 70 weeks equaled 490 literal years, Daniel ch 9, concerning the coming of Jesus. So, they may be on their way at that time, noone knows for sure.. but it seems a logical, "spiritual" conclusion. Just saying..

    Rainwalker:

    Daniel 12:11 And fom the time the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, shall be 1290 days.

    Christ ministry on earth was 1290 days, or 42 months, or 3 1/2 years, at the end of 1290 days, he was crucified, taking away the daily sacrifice.

    Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the 1335 day.

    45 days after his resurrection, came PENTECOST the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, until pentecost, the Holy Spirit was silence in heaven.

    Seal 6in Revelation is the resurrection of Christ and with him the i44000, the Old Testament saints, the first, after Christ, of firstfruits of the resurrection.

    Seal 7 was Penetcost,. there was silence in heaven for the space of half and hour (symbolic of Daniels prophecy).

    God BLESS YOU!

    I'm thinking pentecost was 50 days after passover?
  • GiGi - In Reply - 11 months ago
    Hi Rainwater,

    I think that Pentecost is 50 days after Easter Sunday which is the Feast of first fruits, (Shavuot) according to the Law of Moses.

    So 7 Sundays after the High Sabbath day of Passover (Saturday) is Shavuot. You can check this out on a refutable Christian site.

    Sister GiGi"

    Passover was the fourteen day after the new year, the new year was about March 21, by our calendar today.

    The feast of the weeks could vary, it was based on the firstripe barley.

    Leviticus 23:5 In the fourteen day of the first month at eve is the Lord's passover.

    Deuteronomy 16:9 Seven weeks shall thou number unto thee, begin to number the days seven weeks from the time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.

    Deuteronomy 16:10 And thou shall keep the feast of the weeks unto the Lord ......

    God Bless YOU!

    Rainwalker:

    50 days to penetcost was based on sabbaths.

    The 1290 days and the 1335 days was probably based off Jesus entry to Jerusalem on the colt of an ass.

    God Bless YOU!

    Rainwalker:

    Revelation 6:12 And when the SIXTH seal was opened, and lo, there was a great earthquake .... Matthew 27:54.... and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair ...... Matthew 27:45 ....... and the moon became as blood ...... John 19:34 .....

    All this was prophesied:

    Joel 2:31 The sun shall turn into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable Day of the Lord come.

    Quoted in Acts 2L20

    God Bless YOU!

    Oseas,

    With regards to time scale I have placed my understanding of it in a series of posts and if you read it all through you will know and whether you agree with it or not, is up to you. So we leave it at that.
