This is just a note about Biblical mathematics and chronology.

Lots of people criticize the Bible for being "vague" about it's prophecies. And it is true. You can interpret different things in different ways.

But one of the things that shows the Bible is inspired, is not only by prophesying events occurring far in advance, but also occurring on a specific date!

That is where Biblical mathematics comes in. Mathematics is a perfect SCIENCE! Numbers don't lie. They can't be manipulated like other things.

Case in point. You have some claiming that earthquakes which were predicted as a sign of the last days happen all the time and thus we can't tell if we are in the time of the end or not based upon earthquakes.

Guess what? They're right!

But that's where the chronology comes in. Based upon the "7 times" prophecy, the end of the gentile times occurring during those last days were not suppose to even occur until 2520 years after the fall of Jerusalem!

So do you see how that raises the stakes? That limits the fulfillment of the earthquakes to a period of time that must occur during the 20th century. So MATHEMATICS eliminates all those arguments about those other times in history that may have had more or just as many earthquakes as we have in the 20th century!

So it is only the fulfillment of earthquakes along with famine and food shortages DURING the APPOINTED TIME that fulfills the prophecy. That is, as long as there were earthquakes post 1914, that is the only fulfillment we need to look at, since that is the only time we are to look at.

ABSOLUTE DATES:
And that's one thing we have to accept about the Bible's mathematics and prophecy and that is, there are chronology prophecies that must fulfill absolute dates. Even though certain events are left to Jehovah's discretion as to when they will occur, there are certain events that must be fulfilled on a SPECIFIC DATE! Two of those events are the precise YEAR of the Messiah's First and Second Coming!

That's right, the Second Coming is a DATED event in the Bible. It must fulfill the "7 times" prophecy of 2520 years from the fall of Jerusalem. And it must fulfill the "1335 days" prophecy of Daniel 12. Both prophecies must occur during the same year!

So therefore, to be blunt. If you knew the precise year of the fall of Jerusalem, then you could predict the exact year the Messiah would arrive in kingdom power. When the scriptures said, "Nobody knows the DAY or the HOUR" it didn't mean that nobody would know the YEAR! The YEAR is a specific date in the Bible.

Can you see how there is no argument here because of math? 2520 years from the fall of Jerusalem is just that. There is no flexibility. None! Once you have the correct date, then the Bible must deliver on that date. And at the same time, it must also fulfill the 1335 days!

Now in analyzing the "last generation", and studying the 1335 days. It would be clear that if the trampling ended the 1290 days during the last generation but there would be a 45-year period until the 1335 days, then we know the 'great tribulation" would have to occur during the first 35 years of that last 80-year generation.

That is, if there is a 45-year period of darkness after the great tribulation, and you only have 80 years to have everything fulfilled, then the "great tribulation" must occur during the first 35 years after that generation began in 1914 so there would be at least 45 years left to fulfill the 1335 days!

But that is actually what happened. The HOLOCAUST, which was the "great tribulation" happened between 1939-1945 with the Jews returning to Palestine in 1947-48. The official direct trampling ended when the Jews finally had a place of their own and were officially not in "exile" any more. Thus the 1290 days appropriately ends in 1947. That allows for a 45-year period to end in 1992 which is still short of the 1994, end-of-generation cutoff period.

But, the great tribulation is also a critical marker for chronology! It has to be over before the period of darkness begins So no matter what, the 45 years could not begin until after 1945 or later. So at best, the Bible's chronology for the Second Coming would have been from 1990 to 1992. But that would REQUIRE that the implied true date for the fall of Jerusalem to be in 531 to 529BCE. This is way off from the popular dates of 607BCE and 587BCE which are both based upon revisesd records.

Fortunately, some records from the revision period have survived that made references to the original chronology and that chronology establishes absolutely that the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar originally fell in 529BCE. So we have a confirmation of modern fulfillment of prophecy in regard to the "great tribulation" and the true date for the fall of Jerusalem. All happening within the last generation of 1914 to 1994.

So the numbers don't lie! They force the Bible to be absolutely true or false.

For instance, for a long time, up until 1937 apparently, the Witnesses believed the 1335 days were fulfilled in 1874 A.D. They were right that the Second Coming is dated by the 1335 years. But he "END of the gentile times" was still later in 1914. So they never had a match of these two events. They had two different dates for the EOGT and the Second Coming. The Messiah, of course, when he comes in kingdom power, ENDS the "appointed times of the nations." So the Second Coming date and the EGOT are the same.

So when they finally did make them the same date, coordinating to 1914, they had to drop the "1335 days" prophecy fulfillment! Sudddenly the 1335 days didn't fulfill the Second Coming any longer.

See what happens if you don't have the right dates? Thus one must ask, how does 1914 fulfill 1335 days? it doesn't. And the WTS isn't claiming it does. They dropped a major doctrine about the Second Coming fulfilling the 1335 days which was the BASIS for the 1874 dating when they switched everything to 1914 as late as 1937!

This is just more proof they have the wrong date, the wrong understanding, and currently persist in false teachings which is why the Bible calls them the "FALSE PROPHET", the Lamb-Dragon beast that comes out of the "earth" (representing Jehovah's arrangement), which is destroyed at the same time as the 666-Beast, representing Trinity-loving Christendom. (666=trinity).

MATHEMATICS confirm Bible prophecy. If the numbers don' work out, then you can be sure that you have the wrong dates.

But the Bible has proven true when you have the correct dating. And certain dates in the Bible are specific. The Messiah's First and Second Coming are dated events in the Bible and must take place on specific years! Period.

That is all worked out perfectly when you date Jesus' first coming from 29CE.

See part 2.
