A short overview of some pointers to 2017:
- 50 years from recapturing of Jerusalem by the Jewish people (a jubilee)
- 70 full years from UN resolution for rebirth of Israel in 1947 (a generation)
- 70th year from rebirth of Israel in May 1948 (a generation)
- 100 years from the Balfour declaration, first official act to give the Jewish people the right of return to the land (two jubilees)
- 120 years from first Zionist congress, conception of modern Israel (warning until judgement, Genesis 6:3)
- Chain of 10 Jerusalem jubilees: in 1517 Turks capture Jerusalem, in 1917 English capture Jerusalem, in 1967 Jews capture Jerusalem
- 10 jubilees, 500 years, from Reformation in 1517
- 2017 ends with 7, God's number of perfect completion
- 17 is a number of victory (overcoming the enemy, total victory), flood started on 17th day of the month, Noah's ark rested on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th day of the month, Jesus conquered death on 17th day of the month
- This year is Jewish year 5777, translated as perfect completion of an age of grace (5 is grace)
- Revelation 12 sign happening on September 2017
- Revelation 12 sign happening back to back to Feast of Trumpets
- Jerusalem recapture jubilee (5-10th june 2017) happening back to back with this year's Pentecost, which is a jubilee in days, 50 days from Feast of Fristfruits (4th june 2017)
- Jesus said "Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled" (Luke 21:24), making year 1967 the year when times of Gentiles was fulfulled, and making this year jubilee to that year
- Jesus said that one generation will not pass when end time signs complete and last years commence (and many agree that 70 years is a generation), making 2017 end of a generation from 1947/1948
- Abraham was born in year 1948 from Adam, and settled in land where God told him to settle 76 years after (Genesis 16:3, Genesis 16:16), in year 2024 (1948+76), hinting that 2024 might be the year when things will be settled for the Jewish people, and that they will accept Jesus as their Messiah by that year (with 2017 as start of last 7 years)
- Donald Trump, a loud carnal trump, got inaugurated when he was exactly 7 decades, 7 months and 7 days old, strange "coincidence" at least
- Crossing mark over all US by solar eclipse in August, 33 days before Revelation 12 sign in September, with another crossing mark in 2024, making huge X over US within 7 years span
- There's continual growth in mass scale animal deaths during the previous years, earthquakes, vulcanoes activities, and other similar phenomena...
- There's build up for war in the Middle East, paralleling prophecy of last days' war between many nations coalition against Israel, things could escalate basically any day
- Blood moons in 2014-2015, acting as some form of early alarm signs, head's up of sorts
- Silence from basically all bigwig preachers and theologians on 2017 convergence, paralleling Jesus giving thanks to the Father: "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children." (Matthew 11:25)
Question is, is God creating this amazing convergence around 2017 as a message that something will happen years from now, or are these signs signaling that this year is the year? Both options are viable. At the same time, it seems somewhat unlikely to me, at this point, that God would create such convergence around 2017 as a sign for a future event. I don't see any year in the reasonable future so rich with pointers as we have for 2017.
Maranatha!
