Double
There are two time measures “1260 days” and “42 months” in the time 11 September 2001 to 22 February 2005.
“Double” in three sections of the earth
Two towers fell in New York city on 11 September 2001. New York is in the West.
The cities of Bam and Zarand are in the same province in Iran. The earthquake on 28 May 2004 struck two provinces in Northern Iran: Mazandaran and Qasvin. Iran is in the Middle East.
The lava from Kilauea volcano in Hawaii renewed flowing during two of the times of the “1260 days” :”1000 days” and the “threescore days”.
Hawaii is in the Pacific Ocean.
“Double” and the times ‘hour’, ‘day’, ‘month’ and “year’.
On the day 22 August 2003 Mars was at its nearest point to the earth. It could be calculated from that day when Mars would again be so close to the earth. It would be in 287 years time. 287 years is the time of a “day” in Revelation.
The two towers in New York fell within an hour.
There was an earthquake in Bam on 26 December 2003 and there was the earthquake in Sumatra on 26 December 2004 (year).
The time measure of “month” (December 2003 is part of the opening of the sixth seal which is measured in the five months August to December 2003) and “year” (26 December 2003 and 26 December 2004) were brought together by the earthquake in Bam and the earthquake in the seabed near Sumatra.
42 months
It is interesting to note that there is movement towards peace between Israel and the Palestinians in February 2005 (Rev 11:2 “and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months”)
Woe woe woe
It seems that the times of the first, second and third “woes” correspond to the 1000, 200 and threescore days. I say this because the word “voices” is used in conjunction with the words “thunderings ligthenings and an earthquake” in Rev 8:5. The times of the first, second and third “woes” come in the “1000, 200 and threescore days”. (Also because the numbers ‘1’, ‘2’ and ‘3’ feature in the measure “1000, 200 and threescore”.) Rev 8:13 “Woe ‘woe woe to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound.”
I say this also because of the locust plague in Africa in 2003 and 2004 and the symbol of the locust that features in the “first woe”. The “second woe” (Rev 9:13 – 21) deals with the area of the Euphrates river and the “release” of the “four angels” (Rev 9:14) that were holding back the four winds in the four corners of the earth (Rev 7:1). The time June 2004 to February 2005 was the time of four great storms in the Caribbean and central America, the Philippines and the islands of the Pacific Ocean, as well as a record number of typhoons in Japan. The third woe deals with “the kingdom of the world are become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ” (Rev 11:15). The correlation of events in the time 11 September 2001 to 22 February 2005 to the words and understanding of Revelation brings about a realization that we are in the end time. 22 February 2005 is not the end of the third “woe”.
Altar
Readers will recall that I placed the time of “altar” at the time 2002. It seems that Revelation reveals the time September 2001. With the insight of the time measures of the “42 months” and the “1260 days” it seems that the end time measures of the opening of the seventh seal is the end of the time “altar”. I say this for Revelation reveals in Rev 8:5 that this is the time of the start of the final punishment of the Western Nations that were misled by the influence of the “beast out of the earth”. This is revealed through the word “earth” in Rev 8:5 “And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices and thunderings and lightnings, and an earthquake.” The use of the word “earth” here relates to all that I have said in relation to the analysis of the “beast out of the earth” on this website. It is also the time that Satan is cast down to earth.
Gog and Magog
The time that the Gog and Magog gather to battle can be established. The words of the sounding of the first trumpet Rev 8:5 “Hail and fire mingled with blood” come from Ezekiel 38:32 that deals with the Gog and the Magog. The Gog and Magog are mentioned in Rev 20:7 –9 “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan will be loosed out of his prison. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. This battle will involve the children of Abraham (referred to as the “sand of the sea” – Hebrews 11:12). Therefore 2002 is the time of the “gathering” of the nations to the final battle which is Armageddon (Rev 16:16). The war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq were therefore the prelude to the final battle.
“Four corners of the earth” (7:1) and “Quarters” (20:8)
The time “1260 days” and “42 months” is all about the quarters of the earth. From the northern lights in Alaska, the locusts in Africa, the earthquakes in Bam and finally the islands of the Pacific Ocean.
The final sounding of the second trumpet can be placed in the time when the lava of Kilauea flowed to the sea. Hawaii is symbolically the furthest point East and West. Rev 8:8 “a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea.”
The time of the final sounding of the third trumpet is the time 28 August 2003. The planet Mars was at its nearest point to the earth in some 60 000 years and looked as if it was falling to the earth. Rev 8:10 “A great star from heaven“
The time of the fourth trumpet is the time November 2003, the fifth June 2004, the sixth, December 2004 and the seventh February 2005.
Thunderings lightnings and a an earthquake.
If the earthquakes of Revelation all relate to the time of “42 months” and “1260 days” then the word “great” can mean both great in size but also “great” as meaning “important” for they are the final signs of the coming of the end.
I place the earthquakes as follows
Rev 6:12 relates to the earthquake in Bam and 26 December 2003 is part of the opening of the sixth seal and falls within the time 11 September 2001 and 22 February 2005.
Rev 8:5 “And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth; and there were voices and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake.” This verse indicates the time from 11 September 2001 to 22 February 2005.
Rev 11:13 “And the same hour there was a great earthquake”. The “same hour” could mean the same time span in which the times “hour, day, month and year “ are brought together. That is the time 11 September 2001 and 22 February 2005. It could therefore relate to the earthquake in the seabed near Sumatra on 26 December 2004 that was a year after the earthquake in Bam on 26 December 2003.
Rev 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders and lightenings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty and so great.
This verse is part of the casting of the seventh bowl of wrath (vial). likely also relates to the earthquake in the seabed near Sumatra because of the repetition of the words “Voices and thunders and lightenings; and there was a great earthquake”. The words “such as was not since men were upon earth, so mighty an earthquake” means that the earthquake which came at Christmas time 2004 was the most important “sign” that God has given to man on earth. It revealed the last time measures of Revelation as shown in this post and it confirmed that the book of Revelation measures time from the birth of Jesus Christ to Christmas 2004. The use of the word “mighty” reveals this. 2 Thes 1:7 “Jesus will be revealed with his mighty angels”.
Lightnings
Rev 11:19 could relate to the time February 2005 because of the word “lightnings”. This is the time that the ‘lightning’ of the northern lights in Alaska are brought into relation with the ‘lightning’ in Hawaii in the time 11 September 2001 to February 2005.
In the days
The words “in the days” appear twice in Revelation, Rev 10:7 and 11:6. In March 2005 we know that this is the time 11 September 2001 to 22 February 2005. Rev 10:7 “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he has declared to his servants his prophets.” In March 2005 the seventh angel is beginning to sound. This verse appears in Revelation, chapter 10, that deals with the “mighty angel” that comes down from heaven. The “mighty angel” is symbolic of the time that God is going to reveal the meaning of Revelation. We know this from the use of the words “mighty angel “ in 2 Thes 1:7 “Jesus shall be revealed with his mighty angels”.
Rev 11:6 “It will not rain in the days of their prophecy.” In the time September 2001 to 22 February 2005 there will be changes in the weather patterns of the seasons.
Great hail
The use of these words “great hail” in Rev 11:19 and 16:21 in relation to the times of earthquake may have a symbolic meaning. Particularly because of the words “upon men”, and “every stone the weight of a talent “ in Rev 16:21 “And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent”. This may shortly be made known to us.
Symbolism
Readers should note that the happenings that are referred to in this post are symbolic. There are ‘signs’ in the end time, but these ‘signs’ are only significant after the entire Revelation has been correlated with history. Those who have read my books and studied this website will have insight into this. It is only with the knowledge that the words of Revelation relate to the history of the last two thousand years as well as to the end time that the entire Revelation can be understood.
