STRONG’S TRIBULATION YEARS
RAPTURE YEAR 2021
A Correlation of Year-To-Meaning Study 2022-2029

Is there a correlation between Strong's Numbers and Years?
Does a Year-to-Meaning study suggest the Year of the Rapture?
If so, what does the timeline 2022-2029 suggest is conveying?

Eventually, just on the Law of Probability, one day, a proposed Rapture Date will coincide. Not one to judge any other’s predictions or calculations about the Rapture date, but it is unknowable. What is the difference between such and one like myself and/or that seeks to study the Rapture time sequence?

I for one, only suggest a possible ‘Season’ and do not go beyond Scripture and only what is given as pieces of the puzzle. But one can never say with 100% certainty. No one can. That is why is hesitated in even sharing this Dream about the 723 that could possibly be tied to the Rapture. It is the only time I have ever shared this, and do feel uncomfortable because in my boo, in doing so, then one has crossed over onto the ‘Wild Side’! Thanks Bob. But maybe sometimes a ‘walk on the wild side’ is needed? Nope. Lol Just to say to be careful of the teachings coming from that channel.

It is very interesting though as around this time of the Feast Cycles, the Watchers do start to pick-up on the prophetic type of Tu B’Av or the Jewish ‘Valentines Day’. And that it occurs on the Full Moon. Did not Gary or Jeff at Unsealed.org write-up that if and when the Rapture does take place, that it would be at a Full Moon? Well, as mentioned, the ‘dream’/vision did/does seem interesting and perhaps a prompting but maybe it is a dress rehearsal run-through or to suggest the Season or Time is near.

This time last year, precisely we had also discussed the Prophetic implications and types of the Minor Feast. It is a type of the Rapture, for sure… literally as the Maidens dancing in the Vineyards were ‘snatched’ away, etc. We’ll have to see what pans-out on the 23rd. The Feast does start on that 23rd Sunset, if one counts and goes by the Jewish day count. I read the article about Tu B’Av, the 15 of Av and how it officially starts the Grape Harvest to end on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. It lends credence to how then ‘when Pentecost fully came’ was then the Feast of New Wine. So, I really like all the prophetic correlations as you mentioned.

RAPTURE DATE CRITIQUE
JUNE 1/2, 2022 STEPHEN DEXTER
Prophetic Parallels Rapture and Tribulation 2022

Will the Rapture take place on June 1/2 as calculated by some?
Can Prophetic Parallels be inter-changeable to fit one's Timeline?
According to study, will the Rapture and Tribulation occur in 2022?

The purpose of this study is to critique a Rapture Date Study by a Young Man named Stephan Dexter from his YouTube Channel presentation intitled, ‘Prophetic Parallels – Rapture and Tribulation 2022’. Many People since his post have asked one to evaluate or opine on his conclusions. The following will be what was responded to. But since his subsequent and follow-up video Study, entitled ‘Prophetic Parallels - 1290 and 1335 Days - Rapture and Tribulation 2022-2029’, he has continued in a faulty supposition that is not based on the proven Timeline the Books of Daniel and Revelation outline, clearly.

In other words, he is taking the Scriptural Sequence out of context, rationalize it and coming-up with an alternative Timeline. One is not here to judge other’s work other than to compare it with what Scripture supports and teaches. ‘Let Iron Sharpen Iron’. In his 2nd Follow-Up Video, he clearly comes out initially to state that the Traditional View of having the ‘Great Tribulation’ as the 2nd Half of the whole 7-Year duration should rather be placed at the beginning.

At this point, one ‘tapped-out’ as being incorrect and Doctrinally in Error as the Rapture event does not initiate the start of the Tribulation Period. One can agree, however more-or-less of a 2022-29 Timeline for the possible Tribulation Period but not based on his calculations. One’s estimated studies will be footnoted at the end. And again, one is only responding to inquiry about the initial study, and one is only giving one’s honest and critique without malice or any condescension.
_________________________

This Study and Presentation of this Young Man was well put together and he clearly conveyed his Points, Evidence and Conclusion. If he would have presented this Thesis as a Project in class, he would have received a ‘A’ Grade, as all the ‘boxes’ were checked. Now, as to the interpretation? Many have asked what one thinks? As one may know, one does not like to ‘judge’ another’s Work, Understanding, and Biblical Interpretation.

A few items did come to mind as one carefully tried to be objective about his findings and conclusions. So, one will only, one can only share how one reacted but in so doing, one wants to preface it with that perhaps the LORD is reminding those who might believe that no other possible alternative Interpretations are possible. For those that have studied the End Times,10,20,30,40,50 Years, as many tend to have done, one has an unconscious ‘Prophecy Bias’ already built in. One cannot help but have this Generational Lens and Experience in this Critique.

One is already, really the product, as in one’s cases of the Prophecy Teachings of the 1970s, and 1980s. But here is an example of a Young Man, a New Generation that perhaps grew-up with the Prophecy Teachings of the 1990s, 2000s, etc. So, he has a Fresh Perspective and a New Understanding, perhaps. This is great and refreshing as not too many in his age group are into such Prophecy Studies. Thus, one can only Respect his Interpretation that more and would encourage him to continue.

And this goes for anyone regardless of Prophetic Interpretation or Age. But as one knows, it is just that there is so much ‘Garbage’ passing for End Times Prophecy out there, the issue becomes one of Credibility and ‘What Spirit is it coming from’? But one found this Young Man’s effort to be genuine and sincere. So, having said all that here are one’s notes as one listened carefully. After all, did not Jesus at age 13, after His Bar Mitzvah instruct the Temple ‘Doctors’, PhDs? So, perhaps ‘Old Dogs can learn new Tricks’.

1-One was reminded of just how drastic and tragic our decisions can be. Jesus would have brought ‘World Peace’ to the entire World if only Israel would have only said ‘Yes’. That 1 decision to reject the only One that could, was disastrous. Same with Eve, and every other ‘Fork in the Road’ decision seen in the Bible. ‘How it could have been’. One decision can have alternative universes in one’s life. Very sobering.

2-Ok, he is saying that: the 10th Day, the 1st Month = 2nd Coming because that is when Jesus ‘1st’ came. Ok. But why not Jesus’ literal manifestation, with His 1st Appearing, manifestation in the Flesh as in His Incarnation at Birth with that of His 2nd Appearing, manifestation in the Flesh as a truer Prophetic Typology?

3-One likes that he understands the overlooked passage of Ezekiel 44 in how the Double Door (Golden Gate or Eastern Gate) would be shut. This to mean that the Messiah has already come. This would have been a clue, and still is to the Jews that the Messiah had already come. They missed Him Personal Appearing and are in denial since Jesus’ Triumphal Entry.

4-He supposes that the Fig Tree Generation is in play, and it has to do with the Restoration of Israel, Jerusalem and Temple. They are what one has also seen and written about. How the Sequence of Restoration is in the Reverse Order in how they were destroyed. That is why the last of the 3 Elements has to be the 3rd Temple. It is practically done and one of the ‘Signs’ one can also follow, to see how close the Rapture Timing is to be. One also theorizes that it is the Temple and Altar that will need to be built to start the Daily Sacrifices, and this is what the whole Tribulation Day Count is predicated on. No small item in one’s estimation.

5-Many do dismiss the Fig Tree Prophecy as not being pertaining to Israel. Such believe the 1948 ‘birth’ of the ‘State’ was a not the Event, but a Zionist Plot and that the present Jews are Imposter Khazarians. But if such a mix is not, then where are they at? And when are they going to be regathered back to the Promised Land? Time has run out. Was not Abraham born in the year 1948 since Adam, a mirror of this event?

6-Ok, the Young Man postulates and uses also the popular Psalm 90 Timeline of a 70-80 Year Generation. And that the Rapture, the Tribulation and 2nd Coming of Jesus has to then all occur before Israel turns 81 years old. Ok. My issue is what is the Start Date? 1948? One contends that, based where one is at in one’s Biblical Understanding and Interpretation, the key to all this is the Sabbaths Cycles Theory. It is not 1948 but 1952.

7-One liked the fact that he is well versed in the discrepancies of the various Calendars and uses the 354 Days one which is also called the Enochian. One liked the fact that he knows that the Sun-Moon Calendar is to be pegged and synchronized to the New Moon after Spring Equinox to calculate the New Year and Month. Same for the Fall Feasts.

8-So, based on his suppositions, using the Psalm 80 Year Generation limit and Reverse Engineering the Timeline, April 25, 2029 is Month 1, Day 10. And this then means that it will be the 2nd Coming of Jesus. Ok. He does subscribe to a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, and a 7-Year Tribulation Period.

9-He then Reverse Engineers the Tribulation Period based on the 70 Weeks of Daniel. And one likes that he did use the 445 BC Date to arrive at a 32 AD ‘Palm Sunday’ Triumphal Entry. It is actually Palm Saturday, but that is for another study referenced in the Endnotes. He believes also as one does that the 70th Week = 1 Week or a Sabbath Cycle and not just a 3.5 or 1 time of 1260 Days. Now, one has written and shown that indeed, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the 10th Day of the 1st Month, but that was a Sabbath, not a Sunday. Then 4 Days later was the Passover, as that 4 Days were required to ‘Inspect’ the Sacrificial Lamb, etc.

Saturday   = Triumphant Entry (4-Day Examination of Passover Lamb Begins.)
Sunday            = Day 1
Monday           = Day 2
Tuesday          = Day 3
Wednesday    = Day 4 (Crucified and Buried before Sunset.)

1. Wednesday Sunset to Thursday Sunset = 1 24 Hour Day
2. Thursday Sunset to Friday Sunset             = 1 24 Hour Day
3. Friday Sunset to Saturday Sunset             = 1 24 Hour Day
Total: 3 Days and 3 in the ‘Belly’ of the Earth = 72 Hours

10-One liked that he used the 2520 Days or the set of 1260 Day halves. So, according to his calculations, again, Jesus is to return, the 2nd Coming on April 25, 2029. But at this point, even he has a doubt or a Time Period that is in question. He calls it Days of Terry? One has not ever heard of this before. In his reasoning, the suggests it could be how Jesus then alluded to the Days being ‘cut short’. One does not believe in the Theory that the Days of the Tribulation Period will have less Hours or less Days of the total 2520 Days decreed.

11-So, based on his calculation, November 12, 2025, will be the Mid-Point of the Tribulation Period or when the Great Tribulation or 2nd Half of the 7-Year Sabbath Cycle begins. Ok. This is where one sees a fresh point of view and again, one from a Millennial Perspective.

12-So, based on Reverse Engineering the Timeline, which one has done too, what is the Key? When is the Start Date? But he believes that the Great Tribulation then is calculated to be on Month 2, and Day 17. This is when the Flood began. Ok.

13-This is where one’s Prophetic Bias comes in strong as one is predisposed to thinking, understanding that usually, the Flood Time Piece is a euphemism/parallel and/or Prophetic Typology for the Beginning of Judgment, not starting at the halfway point. One liked the idea though, that the Bottomless Pit would be opened at that halfway point.

14-Now, his conclusion. When does the Tribulation Period begin then? According to his Reverse Engineered Timeline, it would be that other November 12, 2025 minus 1260 Days or June 1/2, 2022. This would also happen to be Month 3, and Day 1 when the Israelites came to Mount Sinai. Ok.

15-But then he attributes this Sinai Event and ascribes it to the Revelation 12 Typology in regard to the Rapture’s Timing. Again, fighting back one’s Prophecy Bias, he implies that the Revelation 12 Sign event, which one believes is clearly the Mid-Point of the Tribulation Period Event, is for him really at the Beginning of Tribulation that is to last for those 1260 Days. So, he is clearly swapping the Great Tribulation to be at the beginning of the 7-Year Tribulation Period. This, one believes is Clear Error and goes against the Timelines clearly delineated already in Daniel and Revelation.

16-He then justifies the overlapping Prophetic Typology of Moses going-up Mountain as YHVH came down to be interpreted as the Rapture of Bride occurring at that same date of June 1/2, 2022. And, that this Revelation 12, which he acknowledges was a multi-layered Sign of a Future fulfillment is what will end-up being the Rapture for the Bride of Christ, but the start of the Tribulation Period for Israel.

Ok… but again, based on one’s Prophetic Bias as understood the Bible clearly teaches, the Rapture does not start the Tribulation Period Day Count. Of course, one could be wrong. One believes the Rapture occurs well before that Revelation 12 Rapture Typology as the Temple has to be built first. And this, predicated on the War of Israel with the Muslims that Israel will win.

This will then set the stage for the AntiChrist to ‘Confirm the Covenant’ and Promise to Secure and give Israel Peace for a 7 Year Pact. That is why the issue with Israel and Iran in 2022 will come to a head, it already has and is on-going. So, in one’s analysis of this Young Man’s interpretation and Reverse Engineering the Timeline, one would say that he is using the Faulty Premise of the Psalm 90 Theory being pegged to 1948. And then that the Rapture starts the Tribulation Period by switching 1260-Day halves.

It could be and one can only let other’s Calculations stand and fall before the LORD of Prophecy, not because one’s Critique. Many are starting to believe though, that it is not but 1948 but another year, such as 1952, which I have mentioned might be a more appropriate Start Date for the Psalm 90 Theory. And again, one is in no way dogmatic about this Critique. One could be off in the Start Date also, however, one’s Reversed Engineered Timeline would still validate the Psalm 90 Theory. See links to such studies.

The Key, one believes is the Sabbath Cycles and if it is true, then from Fall 2021 to Fall 2022 is the Last Year and end of the 7th Year and perhaps the Year of the Rapture to close-out the Church Age, etc. But as to the specific day of the Evacuation? That remains to be seen although a specific Date is also suggested. One is only suggesting the times to consider based on Biblical Numerical Values given. One can never say with 100% confidence or Calculated Mathematical Accuracy, that Jesus is to come on September 11, 2029, as that is what my Timeline is suggesting. And also, the Date of the Rapture, July 23, 2022 (723). Here is a short version of what that will look like for those 2022 High Watch Dates.

1. Spring Equinox = March 20, 2022
2. 1st New Moon after Spring Equinox in 2022 = April 1/2, 2022
3. April 1/2, 2022 = 1st Month
4. April 1/2, 2022 = 1st Month + 14 days = Passover (Full Moon)
5. Count 49 Days after Sabbath from Sheeve Wave Offering = April 17, 2022 = June 5, 2022
6. June 6, 2022 = 55 years since 6-Day War liberation of Jerusalem and Temple Mount. (FYI)
7. + 50 Days more per Alternative Interpretation of Leviticus 23:16 = July 23, 2022.
8. July 23, 2022. The Resurrection-Rapture event and conclusion of the Church Age?

And for one’s highest Watch Time, it will be that Pentecost Window time, but with a Double Count of 49 Days and then an additional 50 Days, etc. But that given the Information one has, at least, it is what one sees and can only report. But as such studies that the Young Man brings-out, the Church Age is at the end of the Timeline. One believes 2022 may very well be it. The Timeline will need to be put to the Test as the Bride of Christ just needs to look at those High Watch Dates.
___________________________________

Regarding the 2nd follow-up video? Well, here is the deal, he is basically ‘cutting-andpasting’ the 2 nd Half of the Tribulation (assuming a Sabbath Cycle of 7 Years) and inserting it at the beginning. He can do that as he then is extrapolating the Revelation 12 Sign event to be the Rapture and what is to start the Tribulation Period. But here is the problem, that one sees. If he is going to do that, and has, then you also have to transfer all that is to occur with the 2nd Half, to the 1st Half. Then, this means that the Abomination of Desolations happens 1st, the 2 Witness are killed immediately and have no 1260-Day Ministry to speak of. The Remnant of the Believing Jews flee to the Wilderness, be it Petra or other place.

Then, since Jesus is to come at the end of that 2nd Half of the 1260 Day Count, based on his model, then Jesus comes at what we would call the Midpoint of the Tribulation, assuming a traditional Interpretation of the Scenario. 6 So, for these reasons alone, one does not think it will playout. One can see him using and utilizing the Prophetic Parallels, which is fine. It is especially the case with the Day of the Triumphal Entry, as that is what is at the core of his theory, of when Jesus is to then likewise return on a Similar Triumphal Entry. Or that of the Revelation 12 Sign, is really going to be the literal Rapture of the 144X Anointed. This will take place once they have finished their Evangelistic Commission for the 1st Half, etc., same for the 2 Witnesses. Why this interpretation?

Each of those persons come from the 12 Tribes of Israel. This is Jacob as it is Israel that ‘birthed’ the Messiah, not the Church Body. Thus, the Revelation 12 Sign is significant not so much as to the Church but National Israel. To those that argue that the ‘Woman’ is the Body of Christ, and the ‘Man-Child’ is a euphemism for the Believers in Jesus that are to be ‘Raptured’, it actually would then confirm the notion, that as some interpret, not all Christians will be Raptured. It is only those that are deemed, the Bride of Christ extracted from the Body of Christ that are worthy as the Rapture is a Reward, not an issue of Salvation. The Return of Jesus will be ‘Triumphal’ but only as in Trumpets, like with the Feast of Trumpets. Of course, all is this based one’s understanding. The Return of Jesus will come on a Week where He fulfill them, Prophetically to the Day, succinctly as He did during Passion Week. But one can be wrong. As will all Dates and Times that are suggested, it is true that one sure thinks one has it right! Thus, they have to be proven with Time.
