From the Fall of the year 2000 begins the count for the redeemed years. Thus fall 2000 leads into the year 2001 and begins the 24 year count to the Fall ending the year 2025. This is numerically correct but scripturally there is more to this matter of determination for the final approximate date, space of time, for Messiah’s return.
Note: The “Redeemed Years” are fully examined and explained by the study paper: Analyzing Biblical Timeline Events From Year 2001 to Messiah’s Return.
The Jewish calendar consists of two parts. The religious dates begin with the spring Holy Days. Passover is a key marker. The fall dates begin with the Day of Trumpets. Debts are forgiven and land restored. Also it is from the Sabbath Day of Trumpets that Biblical prophesy, timelines are established. Spring, Nisan 1, begins the religious year. Fall, Tishri I, heads the prophetic years.
The Five Year Factor
If four is the number of the world, it then represents man’s efforts to form governments and systems of religion to provide a form of stability for individuals, families, societies and state/national governments. An examination of history clearly shows man’s helplessness to provide lasting stability, prosperity and peace. Rather, humanity is nearing the point of no return.
Four plus one, the number five, is significant of Divine Power added to and made perfect regardless of mankind’s faults and weaknesses. Five is the number signifying God’s Grace. So it is in humanity’s history God has worked on a selected basis. Redemption and Salvation on an earthly level that in due time will mean life and opportunity for all mankind: Past • Present • Future.
Grace Means Favor
Favor shown to mankind’s sins and lawlessness we call mercy. Favor shown to the poor we call pity. Favor shown the suffering we call compassion. Favor shown the obstinate we call patience. But favor show the unworthy we call grace. This is Godly Favor in its source and character. Romans 3:24 – “We human beings freely justified by His grace that is without cause.”
Illustrations for the Number 5
Christ the Stone. The Fifth Kingdom succeeding the Four Great World Powers of history. Messiah taking all earthly dominion unto himself. The world shall become the Kingdom of our LORD God and His Son who shall reign in Glory and Grace.
Israel out of Egypt, five in rank or in ranks of fifty. They went out in weakness. Their salvation was the presence of God.
David chose five smooth stones when he went out to meet Goliath, signifying David’s weakness, supplemented by Divine strength. David needed only one stone, sufficient to conquer the mightiest foe.
The Promise, five of you shall chase a thousand. A hundred shall cause 10,000 to flee in fear. “5 of you”, meaning those God has redeemed and chosen.
Paul stated, “I rather speak five words with understanding than 10,000 words in an unknown tongue,” This is to say five words spoken in respect to God are words of dependence for God’s favor.
Key End Time Verses Found In the Book of Revelation

Verse 17: This a large group of saints, scattered among the nations. These will have suffered persecution and have now fully repented and humbled themselves. Satan is also seeking their lives, but God protects them. Satan’s time is short and his anger and hate is great.
Revelations 16 – The seven bowl plagues which also are a part of the 7th trumpet.
The Battle of Armageddon – the nations prepare to join forces and fight Christ and his saints. And so it will be that Messiah will bring an end to all war. Nations/countries will rebuild. The 1000 year reign of Peace and Well-Being for All People will begin. The new wonderful world tomorrow will soon be a reality.
Daniel 12:16, 11 and 12 – The 1335, 1290 and 1260 – Day Prophecies
Daniel 12:6 – “How long shall fulfillment of these wonders be?” A reference to all the troubles mentioned in verses 1 through 4. “The Man” possibly Michael the Archangel, the personage who later became the “Anointed one”. This “Man” states it will be for a “Time, Times and half a time.” A period of 3-1/2 years, 42 months or 1260 days. “When the power of the holy people has been shattered.” This a reference to the modern day descendants of ancient Israel. That is the English speaking peoples, the Jewish State of Israel as found today and certain nations of west and northwest Europe. Their punishment is now complete. They have humbled themselves before God and his Son, Jesus Christ. These, a relatively small group, still many millions now stand redeemed and ready for immediate deliverance.
Daniel 12:11 & 12 – Here is given two periods of time; 1335 days and 1290 days. The 1335 days come first. Leading into the 1290 days, followed by the 1260 days, the 3-1/2 year period of time. Seventy-five completed days (45 and 30). Then begins the 1260 days. These 75 days are given by God to gather and bring His chosen to a place of safety/protection for 3-1/2 years. A congregation of selected men and women who await the resurrection and the Return of Jesus Christ.
Law, Liberty and Freedom
The story of America’s and England’s origin go back about 4,000 years. Promises made by God to Abraham confirmed to Isaac and commenced with Jacob, later named Israel by God (Israel, meaning “Rule with God”). Israel’s two grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph received.
Jacob’s Blessing to become great and of worldwide importance in the closing years of God’s 6,000 year plan. Ephraim is America and Manasseh is England (Great Britain). These two peoples/nations for the last 300 years or so, until very recent times, have kept Western world stability and freedom.
God started laying the groundwork in the 1500s with Martin Luther. The Protestant Reformation was a necessary part of the preparation for the Christianity that has come down to this day.
At the beginning of the 20th century, America was the eminent world power for the good of others. Let us examine the true source of America’s greatness and importance on the world scene. The founding and structural documents are the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. It is not by good fortune or men of superior intellect that brought forth these documents, but rather by God’s influence. These documents are grounded in the Ten Commandments, Statutes, Judgments and Precepts given to Ancient Israel. The three pillar stones are law, liberty and freedom.
Laws to govern peoples and nations must be based on truth and righteousness. The Bible is a history of rewards and punishment for peoples and nations who obeyed and disobeyed. Witness the American and the western world today.
Liberty involves a system of laws that are just and equitable to all, no matter one’s position in the social and governmental structure. The founding fathers did a very good job of laying out and explaining the Foundations, Laws and Principles for The New Republic. Just laws are liberty’s backbone. Liberty gives all peoples the ability to make decisions. This we call freedom, liberty at its highest allows adherence, the ability to make decisions which produce good results and outcomes. This is true Freedom.
To encourage, teach and explain the True Freedoms Given by God, it is necessary to have an effective form of religion. For the western world this is Christianity as understood by men to the best of their ability. God and Jesus Christ want peoples and governments to make decisions based on Biblical directives. The clergy’s work is to encourage, teach and explain the True Freedoms Given by God. The clergy have the responsibility to support and teach scripture correctly. When a nation as a whole starts to lose its bearings by distorting truth and righteousness – That is to say, “Pushing God and His Word further and further out of the picture.” This is where America and much of the Western World is today.

The “Seven Times” Prophetic Punishment
Leviticus 23 and 24 – “And if by these things you are not reformed by me, (God’s laws, commandments and judgements), but walk contrary to me, then I also will walk contrary to you. I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.” V27 – “If you do not obey me, but walk contrary to me, I will walk contrary to you in my fury.” V28 – “I will chastise you seven time for your sins.” V33 – “I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you.”
A “Time” is a solar year of 360 days, just as the Time, Times and Half Time, of Daniel 12:7 is the same as the 1260 days in Rev. 11:3 and 12:6. Twice 3-1/2 times, or 7 times would be 2520 days which is to say, 2520 years. Picking up again in Lev. 26:33 – “Your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.” The 2520 years commenced with the scattering, which began with a period of invasion and captivity for the Tribes of Israel.
Some Interesting History
As detailed in other study papers America is Ephraim and the British (England) and other English speaking nations are Manasseh. Ephraim, the United States, became the 13th tribe of ancient Israel. A company of states — a powerful union of states. This is why the number 13 is imprinted in our nation’s history. Consider: 13 original colonies, 13 original states. The Great Seal of America has 13 impressions on either side. The U. S. Seal was commissioned for the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4th, 1776. The tribe of Dan is not mentioned in Revelations, thus the two sons of Joseph plus the 11 sons of Jacob make 13 tribes.

Also let us consider the fall of ancient Israel, the Northern Kingdom, in 721-718 B.C. Israel (Ephraim) was taken into captivity by the Assyrian Empire. Here again the “Seven Times” rule appears. The 2520 years of punishment are discerned and applied. Subtracting 718 B.C. from 2520 brings us to 1803 B.C. The year of the Louisiana Purchase.

Napoleon Bonaparte needed funds to support his war efforts in Europe against the British. He made a sudden, unexpected offer to sell the whole Louisiana Territory to the United States, 828,000 square miles for only $15 million dollars. $.03 cents per acre! So it is the 2520 years, “Seven Times” punishment, came to an end. Promise Kept.
The Jubilee Year
The number 50 in Biblical numerical denotes a jubilee. A jubilee is composed of 5, the number of grace, times 10, the number of testimony, and of the law – as in the Ten Commandments. The 50th year is the jubilee year. In this year, all debts, public and private are released and liberty is proclaimed throughout the land. Leviticus 25:10. This practice became lost. God kept track as a part of his promise covenant agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Jacob is also known as Israel).
God is on time, on schedule. When true and accurate history is recorded, it will be clear God has a structured plan. All major events, as planned and determined, fall into their proper place for the 6000 years of mankind’s existence.

Detailed Explanation Leading to Messiah’s Return
End Time Prophecy – meaning those years leading up to and including the 3-1/2 years for the two witnesses is risky business, fraught with many challenges and difficulties. Do not misunderstand, everything has been settled by the LORD God and His Son, Messiah, Jesus the Christ. Our opportunity is to understand these years as laid out in the Bible.
It is clear that more time is needed for key elements to be established that lead to the final 3-1/2 years of mankind’s years of self-determination and tribulation. With all this said, the reader will have to consider: Is this just one man’s thinking and explanation or is there more to this matter?
There are two critical time periods for understanding and placing end time prophetic activities leading to the return to earth of Messiah, Jesus Christ. The first period is the 24 years of redeemed time. This period of time is clearly detailed in the study paper “Redeemed Time”, as noted at the beginning of this discourse. The second critical period of time is the five year factor as previously examined.
The starting point is the year 2001. The redeemed time is 24 years. The 24 years take us to the Fall of 2025, entering the Biblical year 2026. The number five factor is also necessary for determining the time leading to Messiah’s return to earth. Contained in this five year period of time is the final 3-1/2 years. In these years is the Great Tribulation for all mankind, worldwide. Also taking place is the work of God’s two witnesses, leading directly to the return of Jesus Christ and His saints. I believe the conclusion of this matter is the Battle of Armageddon — Spring of the year 2031.
Thus we come to humanity’s final years of self rule and all the evil fruit, that especially in these recent years, has been brought forth. Without Christ’s return, mankind would soon be extinct.
So it will be Jesus Christ at the close of this 3-1/2 year period who will return with His Saints to put an end to mankind’s insance and rebellious behavior. Jesus Christ and His Saints will rule in truth and righteousness for 1,000 years. All nations will turn to the LORD God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Peace, prosperity and happiness will spread first from His chosen people, Israel, to the nations of the earth as they repent.
What All This Adds Up To
The beginning of Messiah’s rule over the earth and all mankind. The promised 1000 year millennium when all humanity will, in time, accept the Lord God and his Son’s rule and all the benefits that come with it. Soon humanity will end its long legacy and history of failed attempts to determine right from wrong. Peace, prosperity and happiness will be the result of truth and righteousness made clear to all by a merciful and loving God and His Son. Isaiah 2:12, 15, 17, plain words as given to Isaiah.
As I am writing this commentary, Fall of the year 2022, it is clear the world’s nations are beyond the point-of-no-return. Judgment is at our doors. I grieve for our country and all peoples. The citizens and leadership are in the desert of humanist reasoning. The time of punishment and tribulation will be short. Peace and prosperity and happiness for all is not far off.
For many, this commentary/study will be new information, ideas and possibilities. There are a number of other writings at this site that provide additional thought and support that this very well may be the truth of the matter. One thing for sure, man is in his “Last Days”, the evidence is overwhelming. I have done, to the best of my ability, to convey my understanding of these important matters for your consideration.
