Clue 20: 153 Days
Earlier we learned that there will exist five months of worldwide judgment between the Rapture and the final destruction at the end of time (see Study on The Sixth Seal). We have discovered that the Rapture will occur on May 21, 2011. We have also discovered that this creation will be destroyed on October 21, 2011. Interestingly, there are exactly five months between these two dates. These dates were both arrived at independently of each other. Neither date was brought into view in order to create a gap of exactly five months; that happened on its own as we arrived at the two dates in separate examinations.
Additionally, these five months are exactly 153 days in length. When we see that number we immediately think of the 153 fish of John chapter 21:
“Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.” (John 11:21)
We know that bringing in fish signifies salvation as the elect are pulled from the wrath of God. The fact here that the net did not break indicates that none were lost. The 153 fish represent all of believers at the final ingathering. This points to the end when all of God’s people are brought in to be with Him forever.
Also, the number 153 breaks down into 17 x 3 x 3. The number 17 signifies God’s Kingdom (see Number Study on 17) and the number 3 signifies God’s plan (see Number Study on 3)
Our finalized timeline from examining the clues we have so far looks like this:
