Clue 6: Timeline & 43
Consider the following five significant dates in the history of national Israel:
| 2092 BC |
Abraham, the beginning of God's focus on Israel, enters the Promised Land |
| 1877 BC |
Jacob, the father of all Israelites, leaves the Promised Land and enters Egypt |
| 1447 BC |
The Israelites leave Egypt |
| 931 BC |
The kingdom of Israel is divided into two separate kingdoms |
| 587 BC |
Judah is destroyed by Babylon |
The total number of years from 2092 BC to 587 BC is 1,505. The number 1,505 breaks down into the following three prime numbers: 43 x 7 x 5. It is interesting that 1,505 breaks down evenly into all spiritually significant numbers. Is this coincidence? In fact, when we examine the timeframes between these five dates we see the number 43 featured very heavily:
Surely that is not all coincidence. Every single number listed in the factors above is a spiritually significant number (see Study on Numbers In The Bible). That, in and of itself, is interesting enough. Take any two dates, calculate the timeframe between them, and try to break it down into spiritually significant numbers with no decimals. Normally it can’t be done. For all nine of the timeframes listed above to break down into spiritually significant numbers is curious indeed. Even more curious is that the number 43 is featured in every single one of them.
Likewise, when we examine the timeframes between the above dates and the year 1994 we again see that they all break down evenly into spiritually significant numbers and once again the number 43 is heavily featured:
To illustrate how interesting this is, consider the year 1951. That is the last year before 1994 with which a timeframe could be constructed between it and the Israel dates that could be evenly divided by 43. However, 1951 was not a Jubilee year so it does not harmonize with our previous clue. In fact, we could calculate every date with which a timeframe evenly divisible by 43 could be established between it and the Israel dates. If we did that, we would discover that of those dates the year 157 BC was the last one that fell in a Jubilee year. We would also discover that the next one to also be a Jubilee year is the year 4144.
The year 4144 is clearly too far down the timeline to harmonize with our other time clues. This clue in and of itself is not sufficient for us to feel certain that the Latter Rain began in 1994, but it does provide one more piece to the puzzle and serves to further confirm the significance of the year 1994.
Summary
When we examine the timeline within the significant dates of Israel’s existence and compare it to the year 1994 we find it is all very heavily tied together with the number 43. This serves to help validate the significance of the year 1994. Based on our previous clue, we expect it to be the year in which the Latter Rain began. Our timeline remains unchanged from our previous time clue, but this additional time clue serves to further confirm that we are on the right track:
