I'm sure you've heard all sorts of dates about when Jesus was crucified, with dates ranging from 28AD to 33AD.
The same about the date of his return, if you're a Jehovah's Witness it was October 1914.
If you're a Harold "Campite", May and October 2011
..and lately the September 23, 2017 fiasco and the UN with it's "Agenda 2030"...
Sigh.
Once again, the truth can be found mainly in the Bible, and with a little help of a Gregorian to Hebrew calendar converter, such as the one available at hebcal.com
We have a TNG Video Passover or Easter and a chapter in our LOGOS Season One book that outlines why the date of Wednesday, April 3, 30AD or the 14th Nisan 3790 was the year Jesus was crucified and rose from the grave.
The Date of the Crucifixion
To make a long story short, it had to be a Wednesday because any other day makes it impossible for Mary to buy spices to anoint Jesus with AND falls in line with the 2 high sabbaths that week. Passover on Wednesday evening, Feast of unleavened bread Thursday evening, which leaves Thursday after sunset until Friday sunset to get spices before the weekly Sabbath, at the end of which (after sunset as it began to dawn on the first day of the week...) she would go anoint the Lord... but HE HAD ALREADY RISEN BEFORE SUNSET that Saturday evening. Makes no sense to try placing these events on any other day or year!
Finally, the only other Wednesday date is 14 Nisan 3787 (AD 27), BUT, if this was the case, the 7-year Tribulation would have begun in 2020, with the return in 2027.
A quick scan from hebcal.com shows us what days the 14th of Nisan falls on for a span of 7 years from 27AD to 33AD.
The Date of his Second Coming
Well, this is simple to calculate once again!
Hosea 5
14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight
Simply count 2,000 years from the date Jesus was crucified, as foretold by Christ himself the night of his last supper (foretold in Zechariah 13:7):
Matthew 26:31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
And there you have it! 14 Nisan 5790, Christ should return from Heaven with his armies and his saints to defeat the armies of the Antichrist, bind Satan in chains and have him confined to the bottomless pit for 1,000 years and begin the clean up of Planet Earth and start the Millennial reign.
The Start of the 7-Year Tribulation
Take 7 years away from 14 Nisan 5790 and you get the 14th of Nisan 5783, or sometime between 2023 and 2024 on our Gregorian calendar.
Date of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture
It can happen at any time between now and the start of the Tribulation.
This means there's not much time left. If I were you, I'd start making preparations to meet God face to face. Because like it or not, this is the reality all of humanity will have to face within THE NEXT 2 YEARS.
The only question that remains is, which one of the gods you will meet! Big "G" or little "g"...
