This is sooo simple and easy.
END OF GENTILE TIMES:
The "gentile times" relate to the "7 Times" prophecy which requires "7 times" or 2520 years from the fall of Jerusalem until the "one who has the legal right" to come to the Earth and start ruling. That is, when the Messiah appears in the flesh during the last days near the end of the "last generation."
So all that is needed is to determine the correct year for the fall of Jerusalem. Per the Bible, that date is 529BCE. So just subtract 529 from 2520 and you get 1991, add 1 for the zero year and you get 1992!
1992 is thus the "end of the gentile times" and the "end of the era" or "END of the system of things" mentioned in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. Thus the "end of the gentile times" ends in 1992.
But there is another method, the 1335 days method.
1335 DAYS METHOD:
This refers to the comment in Daniel 12 which after the trampling and dashing to pieces of the holy ones at the end of 1290 days, the Messiah is to appear at the end of 1335 days.
This is clearly pointed out in the Harp of God on page 235:
The most important thing to which all the prophecies point and for which the apostles looked forward has been the second coming of the Lord. It is described by the prophet as a blessed time. Daniel then says: "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty [1335] days... This date, therefore, when understood, would certainly fix the time when the Lord is due at his second appearing."
This 1290 days was to end after the trampling of the Jews at the time of the "great tribulation" which would occur during the "last generation" which would be from 1914 to 1994. That "great tribulation" against the Jews, which would be an event that would shock the world, with nothing having occurred like it before was the HOLOCAUST. The direct trampling of the Jews could thus be said to have technically ended when they were allowed to return to Palestine, officially starting in the fall of 1947 when the U.N. partitioned Palestine.
Thus if the 1290 days ended in 1947, 45 years later would be the fulfillment of the 1335 days which bring us to 1992. That's because 45 plus 1947 is 1992.
Note the "end of the system of things" that is the END of the gentile times which ends when the Messiah takes up kingdom power would occur BEFORE a generation from 1914 runs out. So 1992 fulfills that part of the prophecy as well since 1992 is 2 years less than 1994!
The parallel of this chronology in Matthew, of note, is that at Matthew 24:29 we find the "great tribulation" ends followed by a period of darkness of the sun and moon and then the Messiah appears after that with the sign of the Son of man appearing in the clouds. This period of darkness between the ending of the great tribulation and the coming of the Messiah is the 45 years from the 1290 days and the 1335 days.
And there you have it, 1992 correctly dating the "END of the system of things" or the "end of the gentile times" the same year as the Second Coming, via either the 1335-days prophecy or the "7 times" prophecy, which must end on the same date, at the same time ending before the end of a generation ending in 1994. Which it does!
Quick. Simple. Final. Biblical!
