Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Do you live in Judaea?
Very good, Ebed! You've been paying attention, too! Are you also familiar with the 2nd (greater) Exodus?
Daniel 9:25 says there are 69 weeks (7+62=69) between the time Jerusalem is rebuilt and the return of our King… The “commandment went forth” to restore Jerusalem to the Jewish people on Nov 29, 1947. 1947+69=2016
Yes, I agree that He’ll return on the Feast of Trumpets. I goofed in my first post when I said there’ll be 45 days between His return and Tabernacles. I meant to say there’ll be 45 days between the end of the Tribulation and Tabernacles…..sorry, I need to fix that…..
Very good, Ebed! You've been paying attention, too! Are you also familiar with the 2nd (greater) Exodus?
Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
This is one of many passages that foretell a 2nd Exodus. I’m delighted you’re aware of it!Time frame?
I've never been a very good teacher, so let me give you the video that first introduced this interpretation to me. It's called "Daniel's Timeline" by Dewey Bruton.Interesting, I have not seen this timing before.
The idea behind the Exodus was to escape the captivity of the strange pharaoh's Egypt. What captivity will we be escaping this spring?
Excellent question! The main goal of the Exodus wasn’t to free Israel from slavery. If it was, God would have simply “beamed†them out of there leaving the Egyptians high-and-dry for laborers.The idea behind the Exodus was to escape the captivity of the strange pharaoh's Egypt. What captivity will we be escaping this spring?
The primary goal of the Exodus was for the whole world to know who the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is. God reveals His name to us for the very first time in Ex 6:6-8. He wants us to know His name, but He also wants us to know what His name means. And the Exodus story tells us that His name means, “I do what I say I’m going to do!” God spoke it in Gen 15:13-20 and then He did it exactly as He said He would do! Not only that, but He performed it on the very day He spoke it. In Ex 12:41 Moses specifically notes that the day they left Egypt was exactly 430 years to the day when God made this promise. This means that the promise was given to Abraham on Nisan 15 (the 1st day of Unleavened Bread) even before there was a Feast of Unleavened Bread given to us through Moses! God is working on His Appointed Times long before we even found out they were Appointed Times.

The 10 Judgments on Egypt is God’s way making Himself known. Egypt worshipped everything under the sun as a god (including the sun!) and all those false gods were blocking Israel and Egypt from really knowing the Lord. So to get their attention and to get them to recognize who He is, God has to “whack” all their gods and show them, “That’s not god! I’m God!” The same holds true for the Tribulation. The seals, trumpets and bowls follow the same pattern of the 10 plagues, only on a much larger scale. Instead of 3 sets of 3 judgments followed by a final judgment in the 1st Exodus, there will be 3 sets of 7 judgments in the Tribulation. And just as God’s people were protected from the plagues that fell upon Egypt the 1st time, so shall His people be protected from the judgments the 2nd time. BUT…. You have to be willing to leave Egypt.
The secondary goal ties in with the primary goal, in that God swore to Abraham that he and his descendants would inherit a certain piece of Land. The Exodus story (Ex, Lev, Num and Deut) show us the events that took place ON THE WAY TO THE PROMISED LAND. We, being descendants of Abraham thru our faith in Messiah (the promised Son) will also inherit the Promised Land. And since we are the last generation, we must also make a “wilderness journey” of our own in order to get there. Granted, most believers get there when they die, but we have a choice. As the last generation, we can choose to either get there like the generations before us OR, we can witness the glory of the Lord coming in the clouds and literally WALK INTO the Kingdom. But again, we have to be willing to leave Egypt.
Ebed....
I see you listen to Bill Cloud. He does a lot of great teachings! The last one I saw from him was called "Gleaning from the Garden." Good teaching, esp about the GMO's! Do you also listen to Brad Scott, Rico Cortes, and Monte Judah? I primarily focus on Monte's teachings. When did you first see Daniel's Timeline?
That's fine, but I don't live in Egypt. So, what are we to leave this spring?
