The time of the Second coming of Christ was sealed from all previous generations in order not to quench the hope of believers for His soon return. Jesus told about the time of His coming: «But of that day and hour knoweth no man» (Mat.24:36). “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night” (1 Thes.5:1).

Nevertheless will the Second coming be a surprise for everybody? Does God want us to be in the dark?

At the time of Jesus' first coming, certain ones knew the prophecies and understood the times. Others did not, and Jesus rebuked those who did not understand the signs of the times in His day : "O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky, but can ye not discern the signs of the times?" (Matthew 16:3). Jesus came exactly when 70-weeks prophecy says He should come. John the Baptist preached about Jesus for two years before Jesus became known as Messiah. Because "Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7).

Today God does the same, He gives us signs of His soon coming, so we would prepare for it “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them…But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief” (1 Thes.5:1-4). As we see, His Coming will be unexpected for those who headed for the destruction - for unbelievers. For those who believe in Him and awaiting, His Coming will not be unexpected.

What the signs we are given?

First - all prophecies which have to be fulfilled before Jesus’ coming, already had been fulfilled.

- Israel was born out of nations (prophecy about tree, Dan.ch.6 ) in one day (Isaiah 66:8) – 14 May 1948.

- Israel regained the city of Jerusalem (Joel 2:32; Isaiah 28:14) in 1967.

- Today the Gospel through TV, press, media, internet has reached all corners of the world (Mark 13:10).

- Earthquakes are increasing (Mark 13:8; Luke 21:11; Matthew 24:7), as labor pains of a woman (1Thes.5:3) (see the list and notice the seismic activity from 1999 - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/historical.php )

- Revelation says about the One World Government (the beast with 10 horns). There has never been a world government during thousands of years of human history. Today the elite are moving behind the scenes to produce a world government as quickly as possible.

- Bible says there false Christs and false prophets will appear (Matthew 24:24,11; Mark 13:6,21-23; Luke 21:8). We have them too many today. Here are the only few of them:

Rael, the messiah, the founder of the Raelian sect (http://www.rickross.com/groups/raelians.html
http://www.rael.org/ ), which believes that aliens are our masters and people were created by them.

Many UFO-based religious sects are suicidal. Their messiahs convince people, that planet earth is dying and some super intelligent alien beings want to save people, they invite people to their galaxies (Kingdom of heaven), however for that people need to leave their physical bodies on earth.

In 1978 Jim Jones the leader of the sect Peoples Temple led over 900 members to a mass suicide in Guyana (South America).

In 1997 39 people the members of the Heaven's Gate UFO Cult sect with their messiah Marshall Applewhite committed suicide in Rancho Santa Fe, California.

In 1994 Dr Luc Jouret and Joseph di Mambro the founders of the Order of the Solar Temple led mass suicide of their followers in Canada and Switzerland.

About 1000 members of the Uganda sect of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God were murdered by their leader Joseph Kibwetere in 2000. He called himself the head apostle and claimed that he received the messages directly from Jesus and Mary. (Puerto Rican-born Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda in South-East of US (Puerto Rican-born Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda in South-East of US (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Miranda) and Sergei Torop (Vissarion) in Siberia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Torop ) claim that they are Jesuses.

                                                         Vissarion. Nice looking guy.
                                                                       A look can be so deceiving.

In Jerusalem every holy feasts there many christs (people who believe that they are reincarnated Christs) have appeared. The phenomenon now called the Jerusalem Syndrome. It was identified in 1982 by the director of Jerusalem's municipal psychiatric hospital, Dr Yair Bar-El. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/577180.stm

Maitreya http://www.maitreya-edu.org/
http://www.maitreya.org/
http://www.share-international.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maitreya_%28Share_International%29 - the spiritual being, who communicates through his 'channeler' Benjamin Crème and since 1988 had appeared throughout the world. He claims that it was him who was send by God to come into Jesus the man and made Jesus the God. And all the prophets had him inside of them. And all comings of all messiahs of all religions is in fact his coming.

Maitreya, as he allegedly appeared before a crowd of 6000 orthodox Christians, in Nairobi, Kenya, 1988

- Bible says: “in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1Tim.4:1). From 1960-th occult is on the rise. When in 1966 Satanic church was established Satanism and witchcraft became legal. Today through TV, web and all media occult practice is increased as never before. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=26162

Besides the signs God opens to us, as to the last generation, an approximate year of His coming (not the day and hour). So His believers, who understand the signs of the times, would be prepared for the Coming.

By the certain reason God gave Jews the laws, among which are the obligatory of observance of the 7^th day -Sabbath (Ex.20:8-11), 7^thSabbath year (Ex.23:10-11) and fiftieth -jubilee year (Lev.25:11). The 7^th year, as well as the 7^th day of the week, symbolizes God’s day of rest after the creation of the world.

In the Sabbath year the Jews sowed nothing, did not reap, collected what fell and ate the stocks of the previous year. It was the year of rest of the land. In the Jubilee year the land came back to the first owner, the debts were forgiven, the slaves were released.

A Jubilee year had began on the 10th day of the seventh month of the seventh Sabbath year, in the Day of Atonement: «Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you» (Lev.25:9-10).

In the Day of Atonement «shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD» (Lev.16:29,30). An annual Day of Atonement was celebrated without the sounding of the trumpet, however the trumpet was necessary in the Day of Atonement, which was celebrated right before a jubilee year. This trumpet was the symbol of the 7th trumpet of “Revelation”. It symbolized the Second coming of Christ, at which Jesus, as our high priest, will cleanse all earth from all sins, and the white robes will be given to saints, as a symbol of purity.

Thus the Day of Atonement before Jubilee year symbolized Jesus’ Second coming. The Jubilee year which followed right after the Day of Atonement symbolized that earth will be returned back to its first owner – God.

As a 7-th day and 7-th Sabbath year were celebrated the 7-th millennium has to be celebrated also. After the Day of Atonement in the 7-th or Sabbath millennium a Jubilee millennium will begin. Hence, Jesus will come in the Sabbath millennium after which the Jubilee millennium will begin- the 1000 years of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus told: «I must preach the kingdom of God … for therefore am I sent» (Luke 4:43; 16:16). And Isaiah prophesied about Jesus, that He will come «to preach the acceptable year of the Lord» (Luke 4:18,19; Isa.61:1,2, 63:4). That means: the Kingdom of heaven and the year of the Lord are the same - the Jubilee year/millennium (2Pet.3:8) of the Kingdom of heaven. It will begin with the Jesus' coming when all unrighteous will be destroyed during the Day of Atonement: « I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed (i.e. Jubilee year or 1000 years of Kingdom of Heaven) is come» (Isa.63:3,4).

Before the Day of Atonement, in the same seventh month, in the first day, the a Day of blowing the trumpets (Lev.23:24; Num.29:1) was celebrated. These are the first 6 trumpets of “Revelation". There were 7 Jubilee trumpets in total (Joshua 6:5,12).

Thus, Jesus will come after 6 trumpets (after Day of blowing the trumpets), with a sound of 7th trumpet (in Day of Atonement), and will take His saints up to heaven, will destroy wicked and the Jubilee year, the 1000 years of Kingdom of Heaven, will begin. As after 7 Jubilee trumpets Jericho fell and the land was returned to her true owner - Jewish people, so and after the trumpets of "Revelation" earth will be return to her true owners – righteous. All sins (debts) will be forgiven to them, Satan will be chained and cast down into the bottomless pit.

So, we have found out, that Jesus will come in 7th millennium, in the Day of Atonement, and right after His coming Jubilee year/millennium will begin. As almost all Bible prophecies have built on principle of parallelism, we can assume, that Jesus will come not only before the Jubilee millennium, but before a literal Jubilee year also. So we can assume, that Second coming of Jesus will take place just before a Jubilee year.

As we discussed above, the time of the last generation began after the opening of the 5th seal, which happened in 1990-s, that is why Jesus will come prior of the approaching Jubilee year, not of some another Jubilee year.

Before we will discuss, when the Jubilee year will begin, we need to find out at first, whether or not had the 7th millennium come? So, let's count together.

The calculation of the time from the creation of Adam up to the Great Flood does not represent any special difficulty and anyone can count it: in total - 1656 years.

The Flood continued for an almost 1 year (Gen.7:11, 8:13).

The Noah's son Shem gave birth to Arphaxad in 2 years after the Flood; Arphaxad gave birth to the son Salah, when he was 35 and so on (Gen. 11:10-26). Schematically it looks like this:
2+35+30+34+30+32+30+29+70...+100 (at the age of 100 years Abraham gave birth to Isaac -Gen.21:5)... +60 (at the age of 60 Isaac gave birth to Jacob -Gen.25:26) = 452 years. Jacob came to Egypt with all his family, when he was 130 years old (Gen.47:7-9). Thus: 452 + 130 = 582 years from the end of the Flood to the entering Egypt.

The Jewish were in Egypt for 215 years (see ch.39).

From the Exodus out of Egypt until 4-th year of Solomon's government - 591 years (see ch.40, 41).

Hence, 1656 years from the creation of Adam to the Flood + 1 year of the Flood + 582 years from the Flood to the entering Egypt + 215 years of habitation in Egypt + 591 years from Exodus to 4-th year of Solomon's government = 3045 Hebrew years from the creation of Adam to the 4-th year of Solomon's government.

Most historians agree that 4-th year of Solomon's government was 966 BC (according to a solar calendar). From 966BC to 2007AD = 966+2007 +1 (see here) = 2974 solar years, or (:360х365) 3015 Hebrew years.

Now it is possible to make simple calculations: 3045 years (from the creation of Adam up to the 4th year of Solomon’s government) + 3015 (from the 4th year of Solomon to our time) = 6060 Hebrew years from the creation of Adam up to our time.

The mankind entered 7th, Sabbath, millennium (6060 - 6000=) 60 years ago. 60 years are Hebrew years, we need to convert them into solar years: 60(:365x360) = 59 years. Now we can count 59 years from 2007 (2007-59) and we will receive 1948.

From the time when Israel was recognized as the independent state in 1948, the 7-th, Sabbath millennium had began.

As in a Sabbath year after the Day of Atonement a Jubilee year began so and in Sabbath millennium after the Day of Atonement, which is the Second coming, when Jesus will cleanse the earth from all unrighteous the Jubilee millennium for the righteous on earth and saints in heaven will begin.

The Feast of blowing the trumpets will begin when the first trump will sound and the antichrist will force all people to accept the mark of the beast. The 7-th trumpet and Second Jesus' coming will be before the Jubilee year.

When will be the Jubilee year?
Today perhaps no one can answer this question confidently. The Jubilee year was not celebrated by the Jewish people since the time of Babylon capture. Many people think that the year of the foundation of the state of Israel (1948), was the Jubilee year. Such point absolutely contradicts the regulations both of a Jubilee year and a Sabbath year, for in these years the Jews could not conduct wars. In 1948, on the next day after the declaration of the state of Israel, the Arabian-Israel war began which continued up to January 1949. 1948-49 year was the beginning of the 7-th millennium, not the Jubilee year.

An attentive study of the history of Israel will show us the land which was given to the Jews by God (Number 34 , Deu.11:24; Josh.1:4; Ex. 23:31), was returned under the regulations of a Jubilee year to the first owner: the Jewish people, in 1967 as a result of 6-day's war.

It is very difficult to deny God’s providence in the Israel victory. Against the young state of Israel - Egypt, Jordan and Syria waged the war. The Arabian countries received the help from Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Algeria. Nobody helped Israel. Israel surrounded by the enemies didn’t have any chances to survive if there wasn’t help of God. The war proceeded 132 hours 30 minutes and left Israel with the largest territorial... profit: Egypt lost Sinai and Gaza Strip, Jordan lost East Jerusalem and West Bank, Syria lost Golan Heights...

On the following map the land given by God to the 12 tribes of Israel shown in color, the dotted line shows the border of the modern State of Israel with the captured in 1967 territories (blue dotted line).

You can see, that in order to have all the promised land, Israel needed to take only some territories of Jordan and Syria. However and Jordan, and Syria were defeated, God gave them up into the hands of Israelites, and it was only due to politics that Israel had stopped the war. Therefore in 1967 the promised land was returned to its first owner - the Jewish people. Besides, in 1967 the last prophecy, which had to be fulfilled before the Second coming, actually was fulfilled. East Jerusalem, where Solomon had built the temple, became Israel's property. There are only prophecies about the Second coming left.

Thus, people can count over and over again, when the next Jubilee year will be, but God already gave us the sign, that 1967 was in fact the Jubilee year when God gave back to Jewish people the promised land according to regulations of a Jubilee year. Therefore the next Jubilee year will be 2017^th ,and God will return the land back to righteous Jews for the Jubilee Millennium.

How can we know for certain, that Jesus will come before the approaching Jubilee year, not before the next one, which will be 60 years later?

1. “when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled“ (Mat.24:33,34). Our generation sees all the signs God gave us which have to be before His coming. In 60 years later there another generations will be. Therefore Jesus will come before the approaching Jubilee year.

The Jews, for instance, consider that the last generation had started in 1948, from the establishing the state of Israel. The time span of one generation is 70 years (Ps.90:10, Isa.23:15). From 1948 the time of one generation is finishing at 2018, that is one year later than the Second Coming in 2017: "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled".

2. Because the 5-th seal is already open. And starting from this seal the last time began. That means, the time is approaching to Jesus’ coming much faster.

If from the first seal (1850) till the second seal (1914-World war) was 64 years; from the second seal (the third seal - famine- it took place in different time in the different countries, therefore it is difficult to establish the exact date) till to the 4-th (1981- apparition of HIV), i.e. the opening of the two seals took place during 67 years; from the 4-th till the 5-th seal (middle of 1990-th - killing of Christians in Muslim countries) - approximately 15 years. From the 5-th seal up to the Coming of Jesus (we know, that from the 6-th seal till the Second coming is a little more than 7 years) can not be 70 years, therefore Jesus will come before the forthcoming Jubilee year.

3. Because the planet X (the opening of 6-th seal) is already approaching the Earth. And after the opening of the 6-th seal up to the Second coming will be only a couple years.

4. "Revelation" 9:16 speaks, that on the last battle Gog will gather the 200 million army. This can be possible only today. 60 years later the picture will change significantly.

Today in Muslim countries (Near East, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc.) and Buddhist countries (India, China, Nepal, Bangladesh etc.) there is the peak of the demographic unbalance in favor of the male population. When at the end of 1970-th the method of sex determination of a child in a womb of mother by ultrasound was discovered, in the countries where the custom to give large endowment for a bride, there from the beginning of 1980th the practice of abortions of female fetuses was in a wide use. In China, for example, on every 120 boys only 100 girls are born; in Saudi Arabia on 125 boys - 100 girls; In India on 113 boys - 100 girls. That means, that millions of young men, who today are about 20 years old, will not have their own families. Valerie Hudson, a professor of political science at Brigham Young University, pointed out that the situation like that is unprecedented in human history. Millions of young people without job and families represent a potential threat not only within their own countries (criminal), but also an international threat (terrorism, wars). (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/03/books/03SEX.html?ei=5090&en=ea7981
ae246e24a8&ex=1246593600&partner=rssuserland&pagewanted=all&position )
Lets not forget, that today India and China together account for over 38 percent of all the world's population.

Young men wait for work in Beijing. A skewed sex ratio in China of 120 boys for every 100 girls means no wives for millions of youths.

However 60 years later because the deficit of women the number of the young population in those countries will be extremely decreased.

5. Saint Malachy, Irish monk, in 1139 AD predicted exactly about all the popes who reigned from 1143 AD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes ). And, according to his prediction, the present pope Benedict XVI is the penultimate pope. In April 2007 Benedict was 80. The next pope (a pope described in the prophecy as "Peter the Roman") will be at the time of the antiChrist.

It means, that Jesus will come before the imminent Jubilee year, right before 2017. The antichrist will become visible in 2010. The world catastrophe – the opening of the 6th seal- will be just before the antichrist’s coming in 2010-2013. There is no time left. And the people should know the Bible prophecies today.
