Something to Consider!

About the year 3-2 BCE (Before the Common Era) in Bethlehem Judea God visited humanity as a human being, born for one purpose alone. To live, conquer sin and death, and die for humanity NOT for humanity BUT as humanity in the one person. This would then make the first century after God arrived as mankind would end between 97-98 specifically mid-98 A.D. or the C.E. (common era) thus making the first 100 years after the birth of Jesus Christ end between 97-98 A.D. or the Common Era as we know it. It is believed by bible scholars that John the apostle while on Patmos who was given the Revelation of Jesus Christ better known as the Apocolypse was given between the years of 94-95 A.D. and died in 98 A.D. just before the end of the first century elapsed in mid-98 A.D. That would mean that John passed away the first half of (98 A.D.) that ended the first century after the birth of Jesus "right on time" After Jesus revealed the future to him and the church and the world in the Revelations at the end of the first 100 years after His birth in Bethelem Judea.

Already the days of humanity were "cut short" by three years as the second century after His arrival on Earth started. Mar 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. That would then make us in 2020 as we count time in reality only be 2017.5 C.E. instead of 2020.

2017.5 beginning in the year mid-3 BCE then add the BCE years of 2.5 years and the outcome is 2017.5 plus 2.5 years and the ending year is 2020 A.D. our current year.

2017.5 (C.E.) + 2.5 (B.C.E.) =2020 COMMON ERA!

Two thousand and seventeen and a half years since the birth of Jesus Christ. Add to this 2017.5 years another 3997.5 or halfway OR mid-year 3 BCE. B.C.E. years of 3997.5 and the total time elapsed from creation to the date 2017.5 C.E. and we get 6015 total years from creation week NOT 4000+2020 or 6020 years which is a (2.5 year) difference in calculated time. 2020 C.E. minus 2.5 (B.C.E.) is 2017.5 A.D.

SIX (6) is the number of a man in scripture since man was created on the sixth day of creation week. Since 2020 C.E. is in (reality) 2017.5 C.E. only 6015 years have elapsed since creation NOT 6020 years because Jesus birth in Bethlehem began a new era for humanity between 3-2 BCE (Before the Common Era) the actual marking year of the first century that passed after His birth was actually between the years of 97-98 C.E. or A.D. time.

Jesus had already shortened the days by 2.5 years at His birth in reference to how man calculates the time. He will shorten them again before He arrives back to Earth for His second visit. Two times 2.5 years is (five) years. If Jesus' plan is to make His second appearance back to Earth and shorten the time by another (2.5 years) at the end just as He did at the beginning when He arrived the first time in 2.5 BCE then and if that (two and a half year period) at the very end then based on my calculations this "could very well be the year" in 2020 C.E. of the Lord's return as (two and a half years from 2020) would indeed be 2017.5

Making only 6015 years since creation week NOT 6020 as we calculate it today of 4000 (BCE) + 2020 (CE). Instead, it would be 3997.5 (BCE) when Jesus Christ was born between 3-2 (BCE) lived 33.5 years to 31 (C.E.) and was crucified that year midway into His 33rd year of life in 31 A.D. 31 A.D. going backward's is 31 A.D. minus 33.5 years of His life back to 2.5 BCE midway into the year 3 (BCE). Jesus was NOT born in the common Era as we date time. The new ERA began between 3 and 2 BCE, NOT in any A.D. or C.E. time.

On the other side of the coin if we look at the time frame God chose to destroy the Earth in the flood during the days of Noah which was about 378 days or one year of 360 days plus 18 days. And we consider the event (a lot can happen within a (year's time) a whole world can be destroyed by God simply by (thinking IT'S destruction) but he took HIS time (so as) to allow man i.e Noah and his family to absorb the event and why the event took place in the first place.

There are still events prophesied to take place and until they take place God's timeframe for humanity will continue until they are fulfilled, but they can all be fulfilled in an instant if He chooses them to be. Regardless, the Mark of the Beast and the falling of the first FIVE of the SEVEN last plagues can all take place in a single 360 day year.

God stated in Revelation 18:8

Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. Since a prophetic day in prophecy equals "one full year" as given to us in Num 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. And in Eze 4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. A prophetic day is equal to ne year, and the prophecy in Rev 18:8 has a DUAL meaning in its context as most bible prophecies do. Some parts of the prophecy given i.e. the beginning of the prophecy will take place and years pass by and then the second half of the prophecy will occur, but its still the same uttered prophecy of God.

The word "her" in Revelation carries a double connotation which is the CHURCH and the WORLD. The phrase "death, and mourning, and famine" have to do with the world. The first "her" in the phrase "Therefore shall her plagues come in one day" has to do with both the church and the world. The second use of the words "she and her" in the phrase "she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her" has to do with the church alone. It's a prophecy with a DUAL application but involves both the World and the Church. The word "plagues" tells us this as the plagues don't just fall on the church but on both the world and the church. If you look at the overall context of the chapter you'll discover that God is calling His people out of the APOSTATE churches.

Rev 18:2-4 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

QUESTION: Where are God's people predominately found in the world today? ANSWER: They're found inside the churches. To believe that the church will escape the tribulation is to believe a lie. Specifically, the Roman Catholic Church is spoken of here: Rev 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. For them, Mary is called the Queen of Heaven! She see's herself as the bride of Christ, therefore, she claims no "widow-hood" for herself as the successor of Peter the Apostle. She sees and believes she is the bride of the bridegroom.

Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. One prophetic "hour" since this is a prophecy is about 15 literal days, so the city of Rome we call Vatican City and as some see her as a "great city" will be destroyed and burned to the ground in about two weeks time.

Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more. The phrase "for no man buyeth their merchandise" means that she will cease to be a church or any kind of ministry.

Rev 18:16-19 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Rev 18:20-24 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

The ONLY church on Earth uses "candles in MASS" along with bearing the colors of "purple and scarlet" known as the richest church on Earth. The phrase "in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. " Eludes to the Dark Ages of Catholic persecution that spawned the Protestant Reformation, but since the Protestants have joined hands with the Roman church through the pope's Ecumenism movement and the W.A.R. World Alliance of Religions have all signed on to her "sorceries" to think that the church is somehow going to escape God's judgment is to be both biblically ignorant and naïve at the same time.

God's going to destroy Mystery Babylon which encompasses ALL apostasy and apostate churches.
