Generations of Adam – Revisited

by atharris, posted in Israel, Prophecy, The Generations of Adam

When I originally wrote this post back in 2015, I was missing one key piece of information and that was a “correct” calendar. I was using the Gregorian calendar with the creation date of 4004 BC. Our current calendar has been corrupted more than once and is not reliable. However, with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has emerged what I believe to be an accurate calendar created by the Essenes. 

Who were the Essenes? They were simply the “believing” jews that held on to and accepted the patriarchal testaments. People like John the Baptist, the apostles Peter, John, and James. You see, when Jesus was born, the devil had 30 years to form two occults of Judaism prior to the Lord’s ministry. The occults of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. The Pharisees ended up in control over the Jewish government at the time of Christ’s ministry. The Apostle Paul was actually a Pharisee, but he perhaps became one of the most influential apostles of all after Jesus showed him the truth. God will use whom He will use. Interestingly, the devil has had two thousand years to corrupt the “Church” that Jesus left upon His death. Just look at all the denominations. Here is a chart outlining the differences in the Jewish sects. 

Concerning the calendar, within the Dead Sea Scrolls literature, the Essenes had prophesied the calendar would be corrupted and that is exactly what the Pharisees did. In a simplistic sense, God had instituted a Solar calendar in Genesis meant to stay for the 7,000 years of man. “The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.” Psalms 33:11. At some point the calendar was changed over to the lunar cycle by the Pharisees. There is a 164 year difference between the Essene and Pharisee calendar. This current Pharisee lunar calendar does not necessarily follow the Gregorian calendar either, but regardless, the Essene calendar is accurate in my opinion. At least accurate to what we have available to us. You can find more information here: https://dsscalendar.org/. Looking at the generations again below.

The Essene calendar has AM 1 equating to 3925 BC as the year of creation running to AM 6000 or 2075 AD as the last year for the current age of grace. The total years add up to 7019 for Adam’s generations. We subtract the 1000 Millennial reign to arrive at 6000 years from Adam to the end of the Church age which includes the Tribulation period. That leaves an odd 19 years. However, they are there for a reason. First of all, 19 is the number for destruction. Destruction comes towards the end of the 6000 years via the Tribulation and again at the end of the Millennial rein with the 2nd Gog & Magog war and Satan’s final destruction. Notice the tens place digits of 75&25 above. 

In the early generations, at 75 years of age, Abraham was called out of Ur to start a people group and establish a land area for God. The 7 comes from Seth whose name means  appointed/compensation. This verse sums it up. “And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.” Gen 4:25. The 5 comes from Enos whose name means Mortal/Man. “And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.” Gen. 4:26. So as Abel was killed, another seed leading to Jesus and men calling upon the name of the Lord started early in the generations. 

Situated in the latter generations, the number 25 can refer to an age for reigning as 6 times in the OT is says “….. was twenty and five years old when he began to reign”. Jesus will rule and reign at the end of the 6000 year period. More importantly, the phrase “Day of the Lord” and “they shall know that I am the Lord” are used exactly 25 times in the KJB. The 2 comes from Methuselah whose name means “His death shall bring”, for when Methuselah died, Noah’s flood came. The 5 comes from Lamech whose name means despairing/powerful. Lamech lived exactly 777 years. Those sevens always represent God’s program on behalf of man. Here we see towards the end of the generations once again God’s judgment will commence with death and desperation. 

To recap, we have 7019 years remove the ten’s digits and the 1,000 year Millennial reign leave us 6,000 years added to the creation date of 3925 BC gives us 2075 AD for the end of the current age. A Jubilee last 50 years. According to the Essene calendar the last Jubilee for the current age will start in 2026 and run to 2075. It is interesting to note that Noah’s name means rest/comfort and is used exactly 51 times meaning that rest/comfort will come once again during this last Jubilee that ends in 2075 and the 1st year of the Millennial reign of 2076. Noah, the last generation, lived 950 years, or 50 years shy of 1,000 years. Here we sit on the cusp of the final 50 year Jubilee of this age. 

Now I can hear some of you saying “it’s still another 50 years to the end of the Church age”, however that is not the case at all. If we look back at the transition of the other ages, we can see that fulfillment came early in preparation for the next age. For example, one will be giving a birthday party for his daughter on a specific date. Prior to that one must make multiple arraignments in order to allow the birthday party to commence. Order the cake, send out the invitations, rent the facility, etc. etc. 

The last Jubilee for the age of Torah/Law was from 25 AD to 75 AD according to the Essene calendar. The Church age started in 75 AD. Many prophecies were fulfilled for the Lord’s first coming in a short period prior to the beginning of the Church age in order to set it up and commence it. Jesus was born, had a ministry for 3.5 years, died on the cross and resurrected on the 3rd day.  The indwelling of the Holy Spirit was sent and the Apostles started churches. The temple of the Pharisees was destroyed. You get the idea. The same thing happened during the transition from the age of the Patriarchs to the age of Torah/law. 

The Tribulation ending prior to the end of 2075 makes sense. There needs to be time to build the Millennial Temple prior to commencement. Jesus is the builder, but it is highly unlikely in His nature He will speak and it just appears. This also provides time for a specific prophecy to play out that I have had trouble reconciling. That is this prophecy against Egypt.    

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it. Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. Ezekiel 29:8-11

Egypt will lay desolate and uninhabited for a 40 year period and this does not fit into the Millennial reign, a time of peace, righteousness, and Christ’s rule on earth. Egypt must be restored prior to fulfil the below prophecy.

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. Zech. 14:16-19

Here is a possible timeline for the end. 

May 14th, 2028 Israel turns 80, eight for new beginnings. Exactly 33 weeks later is a blood moon on 12-31-2028 which can be seen in Jerusalem. It is also 7 months 17 days later. Jesus was possibly 33 years old at His death and Genesis 8:4 says, “And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.” This time, instead of rest, perhaps it is chaos. Some of you may know about Apophis, the asteroid projected to hit earth April 13th, 2029. The late Tom Horn suggested this strike marked the mid-point of the Tribulation. However, I believe it to be part of the Gog & Magog war as described here: 

And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Ezekiel 38:21-22

Perhaps God uses Apophis to rain down fire and brimstone after the asteroid explodes in the atmosphere just shy of hitting the earth. This event would certainly cause confusion among the enemy causing them to fight each other. This event could also trigger great earthquakes. 

And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. Ezekiel 38:18-20

As you can see, Ezekiel 38 is mixed with Tribulation verbiage, so it is quite possible the next event after is the signing of the covenant with the AC. It does not specify what the covenant is. Most speculate it is a seven year peace treaty, however it does not say anything about peace in Daniel 9, but It does speak of the temple and sacrifice. 

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:26-27

Remember the phrase “they shall know that I am the Lord”? Twenty four of the twenty fives times it is used in the KJB is in the book of Ezekiel, twice referring to the Gog & Magog war.

 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 38:23
 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 39:6

Could it be the covenant is to allow Israel to continue the sacrifices at the temple on the Temple mount which they had already started prior to the war, specifically now that they know God intervened for them in this war…..

If the Tribulation starts in April of 2029, then it ends in April of 2036, Israel will be 88 roughly a month after, once again new beginnings. Depending on the date alignment, this could leave 40 years, a time of testing/preparation, until 2076…..

Israel turns 76 Today

by atharris, posted in But as the Days of Noah were, Ministry, Prophecy

Today is the 76th anniversary for the independence of the State of Israel. Next year Israel will be 77 years old. 77, did you catch that? Seven, the biblical number of the program of God on behalf of man. 

And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: 29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. 30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: 31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.

Lamech, the father of Noah lived 777 years. “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Mat. 24:37-39

Just saying….

The Generations of Adam

by atharris, posted in Prophecy, The Generations of Adam

It has been said that one can study the book of Genesis alone for a lifetime and still not learn everything the Lord reveals in the deeply prophetic book. The Lord opens His Word with Genesis and ends with Revelations; a timeline if you will of:

 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isa 46:10. The Lord is the creator of time and He created man in His image setting a course for him to be used and demonstrate the testimony and account of His glory, honor, and divine nature against that great accuser, Satan, for a determined time when he shall be defeated and shall no more have the power to accuse.

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Rev 12:10

 Ten is the number of testimony, account, and Law as in the 10 commandments. In Genesis 5, God gives us the 10 generations of Adam beginning with Adam and ending with Noah.

Generations of AdamLooking at the chart, the numbers reveal many things. If we add the number of years in column C we get 7019 years. Seven is Gods number for spiritual things and for setting time. Jesus came 77 generations after Adam and 70 after Enoch. Daniel’s prophecy of 70 x 7 or 490 years to finish the transgression and make an end of sin, and God rested on the 7th day of creation, a set time. We are not given the number of days after the year the men lived. For example, Adam could have lived 930 years and 10 days, Enos 905 years and 40 days and so on and so on. It seems likely those days would add up to an additional 2 years for a total of 7021 years, a multiple of 7. Is it possible that God in His Fatherhood, has laid out an exact timeline for the number of years His sons shall live on earth within the generations of Adam? We will come back to examine 7019 and 7021 a little later.

Notice that Enoch is a figure of the church and lived 300 years after the birth of his son Methuselah. His name means “dedicated – teaching” and Enoch was given the earliest recorded prophecy which referred to the 2nd coming of Christ in Jde 1:14. The number 300 means “God appears” for Enoch was raptured before the great flood:

By faith Enoch as translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God Heb 11:5.

The Ark of Noah was also 300 cubits long. Noah and his family rode with God upon the Ark during the flood. The Ark of Covenant was placed in the tabernacle so that God could dwell among men during the Old Testament times. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them Exo 25:8.

Enoch’s son named Methuselah whose name means “death – to bring or to send”, “his death shall bring”, was the longest living man in history at 969 years. Enoch began to walk with God after Methuselah was born Gen 5:22 and seems to have been told by God that the flood would not come until Methuselah’s death and signifies God’s mercy and long suffering in the oldest living man. Methuselah had Lamech at 187. Lamech had Noah at 182 and the flood came in Noah’s 600th year. 187 + 182 + 600 = 969 years.

Noah's ArkNoah was a figure of the Tribulation saints; those who will survive to the end of the 7 year Tribulation. Noah lived 450 years after giving birth to his three sons of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The number 450 means “hope of life after death” for just as Noah and his family had the hope of eternal life after the death of the entire world, the Tribulation Saints will have hope of eternal life after the death and destruction of the world. Noah’s name means “rest or comfort” Gen 5:29 while his father’s name Lamech means “the despairing”. Lamech lived a total of 777 years.

The most accepted date for the creation of the world is 4004 BC. The number 4 detonates “material things, wandering the world”. On the 4th day God made the sun, the moon, and the stars, the material universe. The Garden of Eden had a river which parted into the headwaters of four other rivers. These rivers were the Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel and the Euphrates and their respective names mean to “increase, bursting forth, rapid, and fruitfulness” in that order. To see how the date 4004 BC was derived, you can read the article here: https://answersingenesis.org/bible-timeline/the-world-born-in-4004-bc/.

ussher-chart-topussher-chart-bottomPutting this all together

If we divide the 300 years of Enoch’s fatherhood with Noah’s 450 we get the number of the man of sin. 300/450 = .66666.

Looking closer at the 7019 and 7021 years from the generations of Adam, we notice that 19, 10 + 9 is the number for “Trusting faith and God’s perfect order in regard to His finality of judgment”. Israel was ruled by a total of nineteen kings before God allowed them to be conquered by the Assyrians. The 19th book of the Bible is Psalms, the song book of the people of FAITH and Psa 19:5 says “Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.” A bridegroom comes out of his chamber to take his bride!

Now we turn to 21, – “lawlessness, folly” and symbolizes the great wickedness of rebellion and sin. After the children of Israel left Egyptian bondage they had 21 major rebellious events as they traveled and wandered the wilderness. 3 x 7, 3 = God’s image and 7 = a set time to become the “end of God’s image”. In 2 Timothy 3, the apostle Paul writes of 21 sins which show the exceeding wickedness of self and sin.

Removing the 1000 year millennial reign from 7019 gives us 6019 and 6021 years. Using the date of creation at 4004 BC:

6019 – 4004 = 2016

6021 – 4004 = 2018

The events of 2015/5775

Coming in September, they include the Shemitah and exactly 14 days later, the final Blood Moon. The number 14 refers to “Deliverance, Righteousness, and Salvation”. Psalm (14) is a prayer for SALVATION – “Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.” Psa 14:7. There were 14 generations from Babylon to Christ.

“So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.” Mat 1:17. Genesis Chapter 14 – Abram defeats Kerdorlaomer. Melchizedeck says “blessed be God who DELIVERED 14 your enemies into your hand”. This battle began in the 14 year of Kerdorlomar’s subjection. “And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all” Gen 14:20.

This will be the 14th anniversary of 9/11. On the Jewish calendar, the year is 5775. The number 75 refers to missionary as Abraham was 75 years old when he left Haran, sojourned in a foreign nation, and set up an alter to the Lord. “So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.”Gen 12:4. So the 7 in 5775 before 75 designates a set time for the end of missionaries! God will never leave man fully abandoned. The Shemitah also falls on a partial solar eclipse. Is this a warning that God is about to remove part of the light of this world (church)?!

230-620x596

The events of 2017/5777

One of the main events of 2017 is the depiction of Revelation 12 within the stars. Revelation 12 is an amazing passage of past, present, and future events concerning Israel and Jesus. The great sign in the heavens is set for September 23, 2017 two days after Rosh Hashanah. Is it a warning that the Tribulation is about to begin?

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: Rev 12:1

wp30650372Forty days later on October the 31st, 2017 (Halloween is the highest satanic holy day of the year) or the 11th of Cheshvan 5777, the 8th month on the Jewish calendar and according to Jewish tradition Methuselah died on this day! Eight is the number for new beginnings and 11 for fear. Will it be a new beginning for the most fear the world has ever known??

Remember Noah’s father Lamech lived 777 years and his name means “the despairing”. The number 77 is equal to “false prophet”! 7 (set time) x 11 (fear) = 77. The Jews will once more remember the God of their fathers after they realize the antichrist is not the Messiah.

Psalm 77 plays this out:

I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. 7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? 8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? 9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. 10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. 11 I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. 13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? 14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. 15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Zec 12:10

The first Zionist Congress was convened by Theodor Herzl as a symbolic parliament for the small minority of Jewry in agreement with the implementation of Zionist goals. This took place in August 29th, 1897. Fast forward 120 years and arrive at 2017 or 5777 on the Jewish calendar. 120 is made up of three forties (3×40=120). Applied to time therefore it signifies a divinely appointed period of probation.

And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Gen 6:3.

6:3? That is man with God!

One hundred twenty years after God spoke those words…..His judgment was brought against the world with the Great Flood of Noah.

7028 years

Adding the remaining 1007 years to the 6021 years brings us to 7028 years total; a multiple of 7! The number 28 is 4 x 7. Remember the number 4 designates material things and wandering the world. The fourth book of the BIBLE, Numbers, is the story of God’s people WANDERING in the desert. 7028 years gives us the end of the millennial reign, a set time for man to stop wandering the world for since Adam was cast out of the Garden, Man has sought for a way back to God!!

There is less than 5 months left in 2015. Will we see the Rapture; the Blessed Hope!

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Heb 10:25

As Ye see the Day Approaching….Are you Ready?

by atharris, posted in Prophecy

There is nothing like a day at the beach enjoying the relaxing rhythm of the waves hitting the shore while watching your children at play. But then on the distant horizon of the ocean, you notice storm clouds beginning to develop. You estimate the distance and make a small mental note of it, returning to watch your children. Soon you begin to see flashing lightning in the distance and your sense of alertness picks up. Next you begin to hear the soft rumble of thunder and notice the clouds have moved closer. You give your kids a warning that their time is limited. Now the gentle breeze has turned into a constant wind and most of the sky has become covered in clouds. You tell the children it is time to pack up and go. Before you can finish, a large bolt of lightning strikes in the area with a large thunderous boom. You feel a sprinkle on your face and realize the fast, approaching storm is now imminent! 

When it comes to the Rapture, one of the first and most quoted verses of scripture used to defend the coming of the Rapture is Matthew 24:26  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Just as all scripture is, this verse is absolute truth in that, no man knows the day or hour of the Rapture. But we also cannot hold one verse of scripture over others in order to render them meaningless. All scripture is truth.
