But, there was 2 huge world wars and united Jewry under the Rothschild banner(arguably the richest family name in the world) claimed Israel. People say it started when Poland was invaded but it actually started in 1933 with the newspaper title: "Judea declares war on Germany" when the world wide boycott and and propaganda campaign went into full gear.
It started in 1917 with the Balfourt declaration.




The family of Corrie ten Boom started a prayer group for the Jews 100 years before WWII started and she went to a concentration camp for hiding Jews. Her brother went to Germany in the 30s and said an evil was going on in the universities. They taught antisemitism.

Zecharia 1

12 Then the Angel of the Lord answered and said, “O Lord of hosts, how long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which You were angry these seventy years?”

13 And the Lord answered the angel who talked to me, with good and comforting words. 14 So the angel who spoke with me said to me, [b]“Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:

“I am zealous[c] for Jerusalem
And for Zion with great [d]zeal.
15 I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease;
For I was a little angry,
And they helped—but with evil intent.
16 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord:

“I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy;
My house shall be built in it,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And a surveyor’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’
17 “Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:

“My cities shall again [e]spread out through prosperity;
The Lord will again comfort Zion,
And will again choose Jerusalem.”

Zecharia 2
Up, up! Flee from the land of the north,” says the Lord; “for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven,” says the Lord. 7 “Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.”

8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the [a]apple of His eye. 9 For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become [b]spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.

10 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord. 11 “Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 12 And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!”

Isaiah 66
Hear the word of the Lord,
You who tremble at His word:
“Your brethren who hated you,
Who cast you out for My name’s sake, said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified,
That we may see your joy.’
But they shall be ashamed.”
6 The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
7 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth;
Before her pain came,
She delivered a male child.
8 Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem,
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;

From the article:


2,520 years till Israel’s punishment ends and they are restored to the land, times: 360 days per year by the Babylonian calendar, equals 907,200 days.

(2,520 days X 360 day year = 907,200 days)

At the time these prophecies were written, a 360 day per year calendar was being used all over the world. This is often the case in computing prophetic events in the Bible. The prophecy of Daniel uses a 360 day year calendar.

To convert 2,520 days to our current 365.25 year calendar, we simply take 907,200 days and divide this number by 365.25, which gives us 2,483.8 years.


The problem with this is that 360 cannot be used as a multiplier for years, since the Babylonians used intercalcutor months to account for the extra days. It is also incorrect to say a 360 day calendar was in world-wide use, it was only used by some cultures. For example, the Egyptians used one, but the 5.25 days still had to be accounted for: (from /)


Egyptian Calendar: Forty years before the inscription of the Rosetta Stone, on another trilingual document, the Canopus Decree attempted to reform the calendar to effectively a 365.25 year via a modern leap year system. Even though this was as late as 238 B.C., still with great pomp the Egyptians would write, of "the year of 360 days and the 5 days added to their end..." Columbia University offers this translation, "if the arrangement of the year remained of 360 days plus the five days later brought into usage..." The scholarly 1859 Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities (see scan below) draws from this Egyptian practice in its discussion of the Roman 360-day year:


The setting aside of the last five days agrees with the practice which Herodotus [~440 B.C.; and see below] ascribes to the Egyptians of considering the five days over the 360 as scarcely belonging to the year, and not placing them in any month.


Thus, like so many other cultures, though the Egyptian astronomers of course knew that there were more days in a year, they disrespected the remainder and showed a deep loyalty to the history of the 360-day calendar.

The article you originally posted rests on using the number 360 as an initial multiplier twice (once for the Leviticus "7 years" and then the result of that (2520) to obtain it's result of 907,200 days). This the fatal flaw of this argument, since a 360 day year is not only inaccurate, no culture could use it without adding in the remaining days, either at some point in the year or with the occasional addition of a month.

With Daniel's 70 weeks they also work with 360 days, to count when Jesus would come the first time.

I only understand half of this.
