    7 Years of Tribulation, Now?

    We’re clearly in the end times, but just how soon will the Great Tribulation start? When is the rapture, or harpazo?

    Rapture Preface

    Before going further, we should get the “But rapture isn’t in the Bible!” false argument out of the way. The word rapture is a Latin translation of harpazo, a Greek word. This may sound snarky, but the English Bible doesn’t have rapture, harpazo, or any other Latin or Greek words in it either, with a few exceptions.

    G726 ἁρπάζω harpázō

    • I. to seize, carry off by force
    • II. to seize on, claim for one’s self eagerly
    • III. to snatch out or away

    ἁρπάζω harpázō, har-pad’-zo; from a derivative of G138; to seize (in various applications):—catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).

    The word occurs 13 times in the New Testament in the Greek.

    Pinning down a solid starting point

    With that settled, let’s figure out when Jesus started His ministry. It’s clear He was 30.

    Luke 3:23

    And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

    — Luke 3:23

              The New Covenant and His half week

              Matthew 18:21-22

              21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

              22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

              — Matthew 18:21-22

                Now we need to figure out how long His ministry was before He was crucified, resurrected, and ascended. Let’s look at Daniel 9 and the 70 weeks in the vision shown to Jeremiah.

                Daniel 9:25-27

                25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

                26 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.

                27 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 9:25-27

                  AI slop job of the last supper, which looks too much like Da Vinci
                  AI can’t do the last supper well without looking too much like Da Vinci

                  Matthew 26:28-29

                  28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

                  29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

                  — Matthew 26:28-29

                    The covenant He confirmed with His disciples and the rest of us was also wedding speak, signaling a pre-tribulation rapture.

                    Not using anything else yet, such as events in history, it says Jesus is cut off on week 62 in the middle of the week, after sealing the covenant with the wine in the Galilean wedding tradition during the last supper. That’s 62.5 weeks so far.

                    When did the sacrifice and oblation cease, and abomination of desolation to make it desolate happen? Also note “even until the consummation” here. I think it’s fair to say no one would honestly argue it’s when Rome destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple on 17 Tammuz, 69AD, according to Chabad. 17 Tammuz is July 2, unless you flip the calendar around six months, then it’s Mar or Apr 2 (Adar), but the year is what’s important for now.

                    Rome also burned the Torah and placed an idol in the Temple, so there’s the abomination standing in the Holy place. We also have some foreshadowing:

                    1 Kings:1-2

                    And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.

                    And he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee.

                    — 1 Kings:1-2

                      Matthew 23:27

                      Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.

                      — Matthew 23:27

                        1 Kings 13:3

                        And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Lord hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

                        — 1 Kings 13:3

                          Matthew 24:2

                          And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

                          — Matthew 24:2

                            1 Kings 13:5

                            The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.

                            — 1 Kings 13:5

                              Matthew 27:51

                              And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

                              — Matthew 27:51

                                Jerusalem 29-30AD right after Jesus was crucified and the temple veil was rent
                                Jerusalem 29-30AD right after Jesus was crucified and the temple veil was rent

                                The Forty and the Three

                                Acts 1:15

                                And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

                                — Acts 1:15

                                  Now we have a solid date to go from, if the Chabad record can be considered reliable. The two previous 40-year wilderness periods seem to set a reliable precedent, especially considering the threefold nature of these things.

                                  • God led Moses and the Israelites through the wilderness for 40 years as a time of punishment, testing, and learning, so the next generation would be ready to enter the land.
                                  • Jesus fasted and prayed in the wilderness for 40 days to confront the adversary and current ruler of the earth, who tested him thrice, and Jesus was victorious.
                                  • It’s safe to assume the 40-year period between the Temple desolation and destruction was a similar period of punishment and testing, as a chance for Israel (especially the leaders) to repent and recognize Jesus, which never happened.

                                  During this entire period, it’s recorded that none of the usual miracles and signs of God worked, ever, such as the scapegoat strip changing color, consuming of burnt offerings, and they couldn’t even keep the menorahs lit. Every single night they’d be out by morning.

                                  So 40 years prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in 69 is 29, meaning Jesus would’ve been born in 4BC.

                                  Pinning down our remaining years

                                  Daniel 8:13-14

                                  13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

                                  14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

                                  — Daniel 8:13-14

                                    The 2,300 days are years, confirmed by Daniel 9:2:

                                    Daniel 9:2

                                    In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

                                    — Daniel 9:2

                                      How does this work with our current year 2026? It doesn’t, since that would come to year 2369. Have you ever wondered why the Chabad Jewish calendar was so far off, when we’re near the year 6000 on every other calendar? I certainly have.

                                      There’s a twist to the post-millennial theory (psyop, I would submit) that’s been going around, but it’s been inverted, as usual. It may just be the clue we need, and it’s been right in front of our faces this entire time.

                                      Revelation 20:3

                                      And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

                                      — Revelation 20:3

                                        If a thousand years is like a day to God and vice versa, one may be able to figure out if a prophetic time context is in heaven or on earth, but since both “thousand years” and “little season” are used in the same verse, it’s less clear.

                                        Still, since a season is a quarter of a year, and since both the millennial reign of Jesus and satan’s little season is on earth, a quarter period of a thousand earth years seems like a safe guess.

                                        The current Jewish year is 5786. Out of 6,000 years, subtracting the current Jewish year gets 214, which doesn’t seem too interesting. Adding 2300 to the date of the desolation, we arrive at 2369. It’s 2026 now. Does this mean we have to wait until 2369 for great tribulation? Of course not!

                                        The years 2369 on the standard Gregorian calendar (after the subtraction) and 5786 on the Jewish calendar are both are still way off, but curiously they’re both off by a similar range of over 200 years. What’s missing? Or rather, what’s been obscured or changed?

                                        Trying a different approach using the Jewish calendar, let’s go back to the 214 years remaining. Adding 33 lands at 247. Now it’s starting to look interesting–something closer to a familiar number. So does that mean we have 247 years until the year 6000? Nope!

                                        Everything falls into place once you ask what may seem like a bizarre question: What if the Jewish calendar has satan’s little season already accounted for?

                                        Revelation 3:9

                                        Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

                                        — Revelation 3:9

                                          It’s certainly not beyond the possibility that this has been done by the same people Jesus was talking about. Keep in mind the sanctuary needs 2,300 years to be cleansed, not 2,000. So subtracting 250 from 247, we get -3 years. Add the half week that was cut off from Jesus and we get somewhere between 0 and 0.5, which is a super clean way to reach 0 just by using one single event in history, one which Chabad has likely kept solid records of more than anything else.

                                          Tribulation could start any day now, or specifically on July 2, which is 17 Tammuz on the Jewish calendar. Then 3.5 years after that is 2029, exactly 2,000 years after Jesus was crucified! It could also very well start next March or April 2 in the Jewish month of Adar, or anywhere in between.

                                          Both 2029 and 2030 are too close to the Great Reset and Agenda 2030 to ignore, which the same enemy has been feverishly working so hard to reach their deadline. It’s very unlikely to be just a coincidence, especially when you consider this year is the USA’s 250th anniversary. They’re the ones who have 250 years left, but now they get to wait a thousand years!

                                          Unfortunately for them, their bunkers won’t save them, even if they could keep their hundreds of underground cities going for that long. The process satan will use to gather armies in his little season is currently a mystery.

                                          — Revelation 6:16

                                            Don’t some people say the 666 translates to 616? I’m not at all saying they’re correct. We can read what the verse says, and how it comes from χξϛ.

                                            Revelation 13:18 - 666 in Greek
                                            Revelation 13:18 – 666 in Greek

                                            In Greek numbering, χ̅ is 600, ξ̅ is 60, and ϛ, the digamma (stigma) ligature, is 6. Greek letters have been suspiciously switched around more than seems natural, and since the letter for 6 has been switched to stigma, while the number attached to it has remained, it raises an eyebrow.

                                            The image is from the digital copy of the Greek New Testament, Codex Vaticanus B, 1209, at the Digital Vatican Library, or DVL, whose keys logo looks like the head of a snake facing the viewer. You really can’t make this stuff up. Also every page is obscenely and intrusively watermarked, and you can’t download a copy for yourself. How dare we assume we should have independent access to a document such as this??

                                            While the meaning of 666 is out of scope for this article, the 616 is just noteworthy, considering the underground bunkers and cities seem to be linked to the datacenters and AI beast system.

                                            The exact time window is a bit opaque, due to all the calendars and changing of times, but it’s just one more way that we can independently conclude we have less than a year left, or less than half a year, or very likely even less than a month.

                                            So why did I add 33 years for no apparent reason? Honestly it was just a hunch, or maybe a Holy Spirit nudge, and knowing how the synagogue of satan works, it seemed logical.

                                            Jesus reversed the curse of sin and death when he was crucified and resurrected at 33, so it’s safe to assume Adam was 33 when he fell. A third of the angels fell when they went along with the adversary’s plan to usurp God. The Freemasons salivate over the chance to put 33 in everything possible. So once that was added in, it fit right into place.

                                            My guess would be that they removed the 33 years Jesus was alive from the calendar in one way or another. That is precisely what they would do, and in the context of including satan’s little season in their current calendar, it leaves absolutely no doubt in my mind they’ve done that.

                                            What about the seven remaining weeks of Daniel’s 70 weeks? Maybe it’s a 49-year jubilee period which the marriage of the Lamb kicks off, where we start to clean up the earth after the complete and total destruction that’s been inflicted. That would be the perfect time to finish the period of the cleansing of the sanctuary.

                                            Daniel 12:11-12

                                            11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

                                            12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

                                            — Daniel 12:11-12

                                              These both feel like they have to do with the millennial reign of Jesus and waiting until after satan’s little season for the second death, when death coughs up everyone else who is still dead at that point, before the new heaven and earth.

                                              The first one, 1,290, after the millennium and satan’s little season, leaves a nice, clean 40 year period, which would be from 29 to 69!

                                              The 1,335, once you subtract the millennium and satan’s little season, 85 years are left. Subtract the jubilee of 49 and we arrive at 36. Just 33 more and there’s a nice 3.5 half week that seems to add up a bit too well! Where could that fit?

                                              — Revelation 12:14

                                                There it is, 3.5 years, which appears to be a second, post-millennial rapture/harpazo during satan’s little season. That actually fits too well, considering Jesus had His week cut in half, so why not the bride too?

                                                From there, the marriage consummation and preparations are done, and New Jerusalem descends from heaven into palingenesis.

                                                So even for the post-millennialist, we still get a harpazo into the wilderness!

                                                Daniel 12:13

                                                But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
