In Part 1 for the years of the tribulation, I explained how the story of Joseph who was in prison for two whole years after the cupbearer was set free on the third day, is a prophecy for a 2000 year gospel age that began from Jesus resurrection on he third day in 30 to 33 AD, that strongly confirms the approximate time-frame of 2030 to 2033 when the tribulation will begin and 2037 to 2040 for when it will end.
And Aaron's age of 83 and Issac's birth when Sarah was 90, are two related prophetic stories that reveal it will be 83 and 90 years from Israel's birth as a nation in 1948, to when the 7 years of tribulation will take place from 2031 to 2038.
Therefore if we find any scriptures that confirm the years of 2031 to 238 for the tribulation, then we will know when it is near, but we will not know 'the exact day or hour' when God's 7 years of judgment will begin.
In four stories in John 3, 4 and 5 there's another hidden timeline for the 2,000 year gospel age to the Gentiles, that's followed by Israel's salvation at the end of the tribulation 2038. Below is a brief description of what each of these stories prophetically represent.
I believe Nicodemus in this story is a symbolic type for the religious leadership of Israel who were in spiritual darkness since they refused to believe in Jesus as their Messiah and his sacrifice for their sins, so they could be born-again in righteousness by faith to enter the Kingdom of God, John 3:1-12.
And because of Israel's blindness and the spiritual darkness in their hearts, they rejected their suffering Messiah and as a result Jesus has been revealing his gospel of salvation to the Gentiles for almost 2,000 years.
The Samaritans asked Jesus to stay with them so he stayed for 2 days and after they heard Jesus speak they believed he is the Savior of the world, John 4:40-42.
Jesus staying with the half Jewish half Gentile Samaritans for 2 days is symbolic for the gospel going to the believing Gentiles for 2,000 years that have become spiritual Samaritans, half Jew-half Gentile, a wild olive branch that's grafted into the olive tree Israel by faith, Romans 11:24, John 4:1-42, 2 Peter 3:8.
2 Peter 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Jesus heals an official's son who was at the point of death in the 7th hourAfter 2 days Jesus left the Samaritans and he returned to Cana in Galilee when an official came to him whose son was at "the point of death." Jesus said to man, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe," John 4:48. Jesus then healed the official's son in the 7th hour, 1 Corinthians 1:22.
The son that was healed from the point of death in the 7th hour is prophetic for when Jesus will miraculously save a faithful remnant of Israel from the point of death in the 7th year of the tribulation, John 4:43-54.
On the Sabbath day Jesus heals a crippled man who is 38Then in the last story in John 5:1-9, on the Sabbath day (the 7th day) Jesus healed a crippled man who was 38 years old under a 5 roofed colonnade at the pool of Bethesda.
The 38 year old crippled man (in John 5:5) under a 5 roofed colonnade (5 represents grace) that was healed on the 7th day sabbath, is prophetic for Israel who is crippled in sin and unrighteousness that will be saved by God's grace (5) in the 7th year of tribulation in 2038.
In these 3 consecutive stories in John 4 and 5, that mention the numbers 2 days (or 2,000 years), 7th hour 38, represent Israel's salvation from the point of death in the 7th year of tribulation in 2038. And this is another deeply hidden example that's confirming the years for when the tribulation will soon take place.
If the years of the tribulation are from 2031 to 2038, we should be seeing more earthquakes, pestilence, famines and persecution of Christians within the next several years that are end-time signs pointing to a future 7 year false covenant of peace between Israel and her surrounding enemies that will take place just before the tribulation begins in 2031, Daniel 9:27.
For example the phrase 'no one knows the day or hour' has often been used by Christians to say its not possible to know when the tribulation will begin. Now its true no one knows the exact day when the tribulation will begin, however do you fully understand what this phrase meant to Jesus disciples over 1900 years ago?
No one knows the day is a Jewish idiom for the Feast of Trumpets that would officially begin when two witnesses observed the first sign of the new moon when trumpets would be blown declaring to Israel that the feast of judgment had officially begun.
Now although Israel didn't know the exact day or hour when the feast would begin at first sighting of the new moon, they knew within a 2 day period when the feast was near from observing the 30 day cycle of the moon.
No one knows the day or hour explained
The Feast of Trumpets is prophetic for the 7 years of tribulation that 'no one knows the day or hour' when it will begin. However just as Israel knew when the Feast was near from observing the 30 day cycle of the moon, we should know when the tribulation will be near if we are carefully watching the end time signs and studying the prophetic scriptures.
When you see the fig tree blossom you will know summer is nearUsing this example of the moon cycle that revealed when the Feast of Trumpets was near Jesus said, when you see the fig tree Israel (Hosea 9:10, Psalms 89:35-37) blossom into a nation (in 1948, Isaiah 66:8), then you will know that summer is near (the approximate time of the tribulation), Amos 8:1-2, Dan 2:34-35.
Therefore when Israel became a nation in 1948 it was a significant end-time warning sign for the tribulation that will be coming in our day, just as the 30 day moon cycle pointed to the approaching Feast of Trumpets in Israels day.
Jesus said the generation that sees 'the fig tree blossom' will not pass away before all the events of the tribulation are fulfilled. And we are now living in the lifetime of the fig-tree generation that was born in 1948 when Israel became a nation, that will not completely pass away before Jesus returns to save a remnant his people.
As of May 14, 2020 the generation of 1948 is now 72 years old, so we only have another 20 to 30 years at best before all the events of the tribulation will be fulfilled.
I appreciate your comments and interests concerning this aspect of Bible prophecy. I know we have different views and opinions on eschatology and its good for us to to express our views, but we must remember the most important thing we can do as Christians today is to share the message of Jesus salvation with those people in our lives who are lost and blindly walking down the path that leads to eternity in hell.
John 9:4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming (the darkness of tribulation), when no one can work.
The articles below examine the scriptures that I believe are pointing to the years of 2031 to 2038 for the tribulation.

Nicodemus comes to Jesus in the darkness
and does not understand how to be born-again
Nicodemus the teacher of all Israel came to Jesus in the darkness of night and didn't understand what it meant to be born-again.and does not understand how to be born-again
I believe Nicodemus in this story is a symbolic type for the religious leadership of Israel who were in spiritual darkness since they refused to believe in Jesus as their Messiah and his sacrifice for their sins, so they could be born-again in righteousness by faith to enter the Kingdom of God, John 3:1-12.
And because of Israel's blindness and the spiritual darkness in their hearts, they rejected their suffering Messiah and as a result Jesus has been revealing his gospel of salvation to the Gentiles for almost 2,000 years.
Jesus stays with the Samaritans for 2 days
After Jesus left Nicodemus he revealed himself as Israel's Messiah to a Samaritan woman at the well and she told her friends.The Samaritans asked Jesus to stay with them so he stayed for 2 days and after they heard Jesus speak they believed he is the Savior of the world, John 4:40-42.
Jesus staying with the half Jewish half Gentile Samaritans for 2 days is symbolic for the gospel going to the believing Gentiles for 2,000 years that have become spiritual Samaritans, half Jew-half Gentile, a wild olive branch that's grafted into the olive tree Israel by faith, Romans 11:24, John 4:1-42, 2 Peter 3:8.
2 Peter 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Jesus heals an official's son who was at the point of death in the 7th hour
The son that was healed from the point of death in the 7th hour is prophetic for when Jesus will miraculously save a faithful remnant of Israel from the point of death in the 7th year of the tribulation, John 4:43-54.
On the Sabbath day Jesus heals a crippled man who is 38
The 38 year old crippled man (in John 5:5) under a 5 roofed colonnade (5 represents grace) that was healed on the 7th day sabbath, is prophetic for Israel who is crippled in sin and unrighteousness that will be saved by God's grace (5) in the 7th year of tribulation in 2038.
In these 3 consecutive stories in John 4 and 5, that mention the numbers 2 days (or 2,000 years), 7th hour 38, represent Israel's salvation from the point of death in the 7th year of tribulation in 2038. And this is another deeply hidden example that's confirming the years for when the tribulation will soon take place.
Every matter must be established by two or three witnesses, 2 Cor 13:1
In the scriptures God will confirm his prophetic truths by two or three witnesses. In other words two or three similar stories will repeat the same prophetic message. And in Part 3 of this study I will look at several other stories with the number 38 that are symbolic for Israel's salvation at the end of the tribulation in 2038.If the years of the tribulation are from 2031 to 2038, we should be seeing more earthquakes, pestilence, famines and persecution of Christians within the next several years that are end-time signs pointing to a future 7 year false covenant of peace between Israel and her surrounding enemies that will take place just before the tribulation begins in 2031, Daniel 9:27.
No one knows the day or hour
At times when Jesus speaks to us through his Word we may think we understand what he is saying, however we do not realize that we are blinded to what his words actually meant to his Jewish audience.For example the phrase 'no one knows the day or hour' has often been used by Christians to say its not possible to know when the tribulation will begin. Now its true no one knows the exact day when the tribulation will begin, however do you fully understand what this phrase meant to Jesus disciples over 1900 years ago?
No one knows the day is a Jewish idiom for the Feast of Trumpets that would officially begin when two witnesses observed the first sign of the new moon when trumpets would be blown declaring to Israel that the feast of judgment had officially begun.

The Feast of Trumpets is prophetic for the 7 years of tribulation that 'no one knows the day or hour' when it will begin. However just as Israel knew when the Feast was near from observing the 30 day cycle of the moon, we should know when the tribulation will be near if we are carefully watching the end time signs and studying the prophetic scriptures.

Therefore when Israel became a nation in 1948 it was a significant end-time warning sign for the tribulation that will be coming in our day, just as the 30 day moon cycle pointed to the approaching Feast of Trumpets in Israels day.
