Please forward the below to any Non-Believers with a “scientific background” that you believe may find the below helpful in convincing them that the God of the Bible is alive and well today.

A Trillion Reasons why Non-Believers should realize the end-times are almost here

To all Non-Believers out there, please do not stop reading this before you get to the end. This may be your last chance. You need to know that you are already very much loved by God, a God you do not yet know. But please don’t think I am looking down on you! Indeed, not that long ago, I too would have classified myself as a Non-Believer. For me, it took a life changing event from God to make me realize that Jesus loves all of us, but yet still requires all us to see His Light before it’s too late. Nonetheless, each person must make a personal choice to see His Light, for the One True God is a just God and will not FORCE you to love Him.

To further complicate things, His patience is limited by the allotted time God has designated for this earth, an allotted time I will show appears to be rapidly coming to an end. Regardless, you could die within this very hour and wake up in the wrong place – a place I wouldn’t wish upon anyone.

I have produced this document in order to provide Non-Believers with MATHEMATICAL proof, using LOGICAL formulas straight from the Bible, and applying them DIRECTLY to historical Israel-related events, as to why God of the Bible is VERY MUCH in control. He is not only very much in control, even today, but He will soon be reintroducing Himself to the World in a visible way. What you believe will have a huge impact on how this reintroduction will affect you.

So on that note, I challenge you to read what I have written below with an open mind and allow any doubts it may stir up to grow into a desire to seek the Truth. After all, what do you have to lose except your soul? And if you still end up not believing, what have you truly lost except a few minutes of your time?

The purpose of this post is that, while I have seen an abundance of excellent qualitative analysis on why the Biblical end-times are just around the corner, I have not seen any really rigorous quantitative analysis, analysis that truly ties all of the Israel-related historical events together in one place. I now supply the below article to do just that. However, before I continue, I feel that it would be beneficial to first explain how I got to the place that I am writing to you today:

• My journey to accept Jesus as my savior is perhaps the least romantic you will ever hear, revolving around, oddly enough, mathematical analysis. First, I REALLY researched and decided that evolution was non-sensible (skeptics, please keep reading – I’m going somewhere important with this contention – this will NOT be an article about evolution vs. creation). In the end, I felt that the odds of such amazing complex life randomly occurring from chaos were just too astronomical to accept. This had huge ramifications to me as creation was the only alternative for me, which therefore meant that a god(s) of some sort had to exist. In essence, my logic told me that, where there is a design, there is a designer and where there is an infinitely complex design, there is an infinitely complex designer.

• During this journey, I quickly realized that I needed to analyze which of the various god(s) had the highest probability of being responsible for bringing us here and that he/she/they would want us to know him/her/them. After much research, it eventually became clear that only Christianity made sense for reasons I will outline below. This was quite a surprise to me since I was actually VERY skeptical of Christianity before I began this quest. Like many others out there, perhaps including you, I had WAY TOO MANY run-ins with those self-righteous “Christians” that try to make you feel inadequate compared to them (by the way, I still can’t stand them).

• Even though I accepted the contention that Christianity was the answer and even though my mind quickly accepted Jesus as a “logical fact”, it wasn't until a while later that I truly gave my heart to Jesus! Indeed, for me, one of the main turning points towards Christianity was prophecy and it’s amazing accuracy to what has gone AND IS GOING ON in this world. That is, that prophecy written hundreds and thousands of years ago is still applicable today…even more so!!

• In particular, the rebirth of Israel and the Six-Day War to take Jerusalem was a huge eye-opener for me. I believe it would be for you as well if you will simply take the time to research it. After all, who originally set the six-days of work rule which is followed by a day of rest pattern? God Himself – it is in the very first pages of Genesis. Patterns repeat – this is written all over the history books in the Six-Day War – it is well documented.

• The other "thing" that sold me on Christianity is that it is the only faith where God reaches down to us (through His Son Jesus) versus us having to reach up for Him. Jesus is reaching for you today, but His gift of free will requires each of us to purposefully give Him permission to pick us up before He will do so.

At this point, you may be asking yourself, “After almost 2000 years, why us?” After all, almost 2000 years has passed since Jesus died and the Biblical end-times have not yet commenced. What makes us think that, after all of these centuries, we would be the ones to witness these long foretold Biblical end-time events begin? As such, I diligently reviewed Scripture and compared it to Jewish history to see if there was solid quantitative evidence pointing to the fact that the Biblical end-times must be starting soon.

As mentioned above, while I found an abundance of qualitative articles outlining the many, many signs and events that currently point to the fact that Jesus is coming for us soon, I hadn't seen anything quantitatively put together comprehensively in a single document. That is, there was excellent mathematical analysis to be found, but none that REALLY tied all of these seemingly random events together.

After much research in the area, incredibly (but not so with God, for all is possible with Him), I came to believe that the history of Israel / Jerusalem shows us that there is not only one event in Israel's history pointing to the Biblical end-times being just around the corner, but there were actually fourteen events!! Remember, Israel / Jerusalem is the center of all prophecy in the Bible and there is reason that the Jews are still a separate people after all of these thousands of years.

The Mathematical Clues: With no further delay, the fourteen events pointing towards the nearness of the Biblical end-times, outlined in chronological order, are as follows:

1. Around 4000 BC + 6000 years: The Birth of Adam around 4000 BC (according to Biblical genealogy) + time to first sin (wherein sin is referred to as "death" by God) + 120 Jubilees (also equal to 6 "1000 year" days, with the millennium being the 1000 year "day of rest") is APPROXIMATELY our generation

Note on the Jubilee: The Jews have long lost accurate track of when a Jubilee year occurs. However, rest assured that such timing is significant to God and that God Himself has kept track. The Jubilee is described in the Bible as a period wherein property is returned to its original owner after 49 years, terminating at the end of the 50th year (50 years in span). God’s purpose for the Jubilee was to keep people out of perpetual debt, providing them with freedom to live. Given 2008’s GFC that continues to this day, I am sure “99%” of us out there wish that this was still practiced.

2. Around 2000 BC + 4000 years: Covenant with Abraham (around 2000 BC) + 80 Jubilees is APPROXIMATELY our generation

3. Around 1500 BC + 3500 years: The Time of Exodus (around 1500 BC) + 70 Jubilees is APPROXIMATELY our generation

4. Around 0 AD + 2000 years: The Life of Jesus + 40 Jubilees, equal to 2 "1000 year" periods (or days) is APPROXIMATELY our generation

Note: The 120, 80, 70 & 40 figures illustrated above are very important time allotments in the Bible when it comes to time spans. They all refer to beginning to end or trial periods. Unfortunately, due to an already too long article, an elaborate Biblical explanation of each of these numbers will have to wait until another day, even though these numbers are discussed in less detail below.

5. 1517 + 500 Years: Entire area of Israel, including Jerusalem, captured by the Ottoman Empire in 1517 + 10 Jubilees (10 x 50 years) is in the near future

6. 1534 + 483 Years: Suleiman (Arab for Solomon) announces Jerusalem be rejuvenated in 1534. 1534 + 69 "weeks" (69 x 7 years), equal to 483 Gregorian years, is in the near future. Side Note: It could even turn out that God may have allowed this particular timing in order to facilitate the grand deception by the Anti-Christ to proclaim that the "69 Week" prophecy of Daniel pertains to him and him alone and that he is the "one true" messiah and that Jesus was a farce. While all lies, only befitting of the master of lies, the Bible indicates that this claim will be enforced by death by beheading (Revelation)

7. 1897 + 120 Years: The First Zionist Congress convened and proclaimed the right of the Jewish people to national rebirth in its own country in 1897 (this is the VERY FIRST Fig Tree event referred to in Matthew 24:32-34) + 120 years (referenced as the longest of life spans in Genesis 6:3 and matches the latest age used in standard actuarial tables), is in the near future

8. 1917 + 100 Years: Entire area of Israel, including Jerusalem, captured by the British Empire and declared future home for the Jews (the Balfour Declaration) on Hanukkah 1917 + 2 Jubilees (2 x 50 years), is in the near future

9. 1947 + 70 Years: Israel formally declared home of Jews by UN Resolution on Hanukkah 1947 + Generation of 70 years (Matthew 24:32-35, Psalm 90:10, Isaiah 23:15, Hosea 9:10), is in the near future

10. 1948 + 70 Years: Daniel 9:2 states, "In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem." The Hebrew word for "desolations" is "lecharevovt", which is unequivocally plural, meaning more than one desolation. As such, could this not be only referring to the one time that Jerusalem was made desolate, but to every time it was made desolate, both present and future? History shows us that there have been exactly three desolations since Daniel wrote this prophecy, with the most recent desolation adding to the evidence pointing to the near future. But first some history:

• First Desolation: Jerusalem became desolate in 586 BC, when Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and the First Temple. Just as God had promised, the Jews were eventually allowed to return from exile and rebuild their temple. The Second Temple was completed in the year 516 BC, exactly 70 years after its desolation in 586 BC

• Second Desolation: The first Jewish revolt began in 66 AD. The revolt was crushed and Jerusalem was destroyed again, this time by the Romans, in 70 AD. Once again, Jerusalem became desolate. After a lull, there was a Second Jewish Revolt in 135 AD. Right after this Second Jewish Revolt, the Hadrian rebuilt Jerusalem as a pagan city named Aelia Capitolina. The building of Aelia was finished by 140 AD, exactly 70 years after its desolation in 70 AD. Note that no temple was required to end the desolation in this particular case as Aelia was now a pagan, not a Jewish, city

• Final Desolation?: On May 28, 1948, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, old Jerusalem, which is now called the Jewish Quarter, was destroyed yet again, this time by the Jordanians. The Jews were expelled and it remained in desolation until its reconstruction began in 1969. However, this desolation will not actually be fully rectified until Jesus is officially anointed for the millennium. 1948 + 70 years is also in the near future

11. 1967 + 50 Years: Jerusalem, including the then-obliterated Jewish Quarter, captured by the Jews in the Six-Day War of 1967 + 1 Jubilee (50 years), is in the near future

12. 1969 + 49 Years: The day after the capture of the Jewish Quarter, the then PM of Israel issued a decree that it be rebuilt as soon as possible. This decree was made on June 8, 1967. However, this original decree was not nearly as famous as the April 1, 1969 decree by the Knesset. If you study the Book of Daniel's prophecy in the Bible on the timing of the return of Jesus, this was divided into two sections: 7 + 62 weeks from the time of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, not simply 69 weeks. Personally, I have never seen a really good explanation as to why the 69 weeks was split into 7 + 62 weeks (just speculation). Perhaps we will soon find out why this was split? Could it have been a hint at the approximate timing of His return, even though it was not a direct prophecy (or perhaps a hidden prophecy revealed only now)? Obviously, I don't know the answer to this. Regardless, 1967 + 49 and 1969 + 49 are both in the near future

13. Jewish Year 5777: Bible Numerology is a man-made "science" and should be viewed with a grain of salt. In this "field", the number 7 is the number of God's perfection (which is why it is used so often in Revelation), wherein the number "777" represents God’s perfect plan. It is rather interesting that the Jewish Year of 5777 starts in the fall of 2016 and lasts until the fall of 2017, yet another thing pointing to the near future

14. Revelation 20:1-7: First off, I fully acknowledge that the numbering system in the Bible is entirely man made. However, it is interesting to note that the millennium is only described in detail in one place in the Bible and that is in Revelation 20:1-7. It is even more interesting to note that 20:1-7 looks similar to the year 2017. Given that the Lord knows the beginning from the end, it is not far-fetched to believe that this is yet another hint pointing to the near future

Interesting note on the 120 / 70 Years (points 7 & 9): The 120 years from the resolution in 1897 outlining the desire for Israel to exist is analogous to the 120 jubilees from the sin of Adam and Eve requiring Jesus to be born in Israel to reconcile mankind from its sin. The 70 years from the resolution in 1947 giving birth to Israel is analogous to the 70 jubilees from the time of the Exodus from Egypt to the birth of the nation of Israel.

The Math Part (don't worry, I'll keep it simple)

At first glance, someone could look at the above and ask - couldn't you just simply be forcing in and/or "making up" time lapses that make each event point to the near future? The answer is a resounding NO!! To illustrate this is not the case at all; I have reiterated the points 5 to 12 above in order to elaborate on the significance of each time lapse as they relate to the time periods specifically outlined in God's Holy Word:

• Events 5, 8 & 11 = 1517 (Ottoman), 1917 (British) & 1967 (Jewish): These 3 events are directly related to the last 3 times that the land of Israel / Jerusalem / Jewish Quarter actually changed ownership. These are the ONLY times they have changed ownership, so I am not cherry picking. Each of these three years directly relate to the near future in increments of 50 years (10, 2 & 1, respectfully). 50 years is equal to the time God decreed to be a Jubilee wherein land was to actually change hands to the original owners by the end of the 50th year (Leviticus 25:8,10). The very near future could, in theory, be the start of the final land exchange, wherein Israel / Jerusalem would soon go back to the "Ultimate Original Owner" - Jesus. In essence, the beginning of the last Jubilee. Question: What are the chances that the last three changes in ownership of Israel / Jerusalem / Jewish Quarter would all "randomly" relate to the near future by meeting God's Jubilee change over requirements of exact 50 year increments?

• Events 6, 10 & 12 = 1534 (Muslim), 1948 (Jewish) & 1969 (Jewish): These three events are directly related to the various timelines outlined in the 70 week prophecy of Daniel 9. While this prophecy relates to Christ’s First Coming 2000 years ago, the Jews do not acknowledge the fulfillment. In other words, to the deceived Jews, the prophecy remains in the future. So could this be used for deception at some point by the future Anti-Christ? Interestingly, they all tie to the near future. The 1534 event (non-Jewish) relates to the near future after 69 weeks (69 x 7 or 483 years from 1534), the 1948 event relates to the near future after 69 years while the 1969 event relates to the near future after 7 "weeks" (7 x 7, or 49 years). Question: What are the chances that the three Daniel 9 events related to Jerusalem / Jewish Quarter since the death of Jesus would all "randomly" relate to the near future in logical time increments as outlined in these Scriptures?

• Events 7 & 9 = 1897 (Zion Congress) & 1947 (UN): These two events are directly related to the establishment of Israel as a country for the Jewish people. The 1897 event relates to the conception of Israel as a nation. Genesis 6:3 outlines the maximum length of a life to be 120 years (which is backed by actuarial tables to be the maximum age of a life from conception). The 1947 event relates to the birth of Israel as a nation. Psalm 90:10 outlines the average length of a life to be 70 years (which is also backed by UN statistics to be the worldwide average length of life from birth - higher for developed nations, lower for third world). Question: What are the chances of the only two resolutions to ever be made since Jesus' death to establish Israel would "randomly" relate to the near future in the exact two lifespan amounts as outlined by God in Genesis 6:3 & Psalm 90:10? Again, I am NOT cherry picking here – this is all-inclusive!

It appears mathematically certain from the events outlined above that nothing but the near future creates such incredible mathematical anomalies. Indeed, even for just two of the eight events outlined above to "randomly" point to the near future would be remarkable. However, it is my opinion that simply believing that all eight events pointing to the near future is merely "random chance" would take immensely more faith than simply believing it to be the way God planned history to unfold before He even created Adam and Eve. And just think, this doesn't even include the other six general indicators – Events 1, 2, 3, 4, 13 & 14!

Indeed, the mathematical chances of all these events pointing to the near future randomly are astronomical and will now be demonstrated as such (Side note: I believe that I am being very conservative and that the odds are actually much higher than those illustrated):

• The chances of Israel being re-taken by the Jews is astronomical on its own since no other nation has ever been reborn, even for short exile times. While I have limited the odds of this event occurring to only 1 in a 1000, I am positive that the odds are actually much higher than this

• Assuming that Israel would be reborn (conditional probability), the chances of the other seven events relating to Israel's formation randomly occurring is not as unlikely, but still didn't HAVE to occur separately or at all. While I have limited the odds of these events to both occurring and to do so separately to only 1 in 100, I am positive that the odds are actually much higher than this

• The three Jubilee occurrences are easy. The chances of the three events relating to the near future "randomly" landing on the same 50th year are 1 out of 50 (years) each

• The chances of the three Daniel 9 prophecy timelines relating to the near future "randomly" landing perfectly are 1 out of 2000, which I have reduced to 1 out of 500 to show I am not inflating the numbers unnecessarily (Side note: 2000 comes from the 2000 year time lapse since Jesus)

• The chances of the two advents of Israel relating to 70 / 120 years "randomly" landing perfectly on the near future would also be 1 out of 2000 (years) each, which I again have reduced to 1 out of 500

The above results in a mind-blowing probability = 1 out of 390,625,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of all of these events occurring and for all of these events lining up with the near future occurring "randomly" ( = 1000 x 100 x 50 x 50 x 50 x 500 x 500 x 500 x 500 x 500). This is equivalent to randomly being dealt a natural Royal Flush (without draw) four times in a row (for those who are unfamiliar with Poker, this is 10, Jack, Queen, King & Ace of the same suit)! This is also equivalent to randomly picking heads or tails correctly 78 times in a row!

Putting these odds into perspective: To put these odds into perspective, drawing a natural Royal Flush is the hardest hand to get in Poker. If you were dealt 650,000 hands, you could expect to only receive a single Royal Flush. If you played Poker for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week and were dealt a hand every 10 seconds the entire time, this would equate to one Royal Flush every 181 days. You would be required to play at this pace for 320,000 years to expect to see two Royal Flushes in a row just once (yes, that's over 50 times as long as the time since Adam and Eve were created). It goes up rapidly from there:

• You would be required to play at this same pace for over 200 billion years to expect to see three Royal Flushes in a row just once. But here is the challenge! You would need to correctly guess the exact 30 second span these three hands were dealt during that 200 billion year period. Incredibly, even this would be a more likely feat than the eight events logically pointing towards the near future occurring "randomly"

• You would be required to play at this same pace for over 136,000 trillion years to expect to see four Royal Flushes in a row just once. Again, you would need to correctly guess the exact 40 second span these four hands were dealt during that 136,000 trillion year period. Again, even this would be more likely than Israel reforming and for the eight events to happen separately and for them to logically point towards near future occurring "randomly"

As illustrated above, the probability of these events occurring with such precision being "random" is infinitesimal. The only alternative is to acknowledge that God's hand is carefully shepherding the exact timing of these events! In other words, it is my sincere belief that we are the generation that will see the end-times of Revelation begin and that this will begin soon. While many Christians have a gut feel that this could be happening soon, this is usually just a hunch. As such, I thought it would interesting to illustrate that there is a solid mathematical reason that "logically" points to why this feeling is justified, hence the above article.

Urgent note to the unsaved: If someone handed you a gun and told you to play a game of Russian Roulette, would you? Of course not. You wouldn't want to take even a 1 out of 6 chance of ending your life, which, compared to eternity, is like vapor. And yet you are currently willing to take a much greater risk with your soul, your spirit that lasts forever without end.

Where are you planning to be when you die? There are only two alternatives. Eternal torture in hell, separated from Jesus as you wished. OR with Jesus in heaven, a paradise beyond imagination. It's so simple - acknowledge you are a sinner, that you can't possibly reconcile your sinful nature with God on your own and that Jesus, and only Jesus, died for your sins as the Perfect Sacrifice to reconcile you with Him and that He has risen once again.

Now please, don't expect fireworks. Being saved is not a feeling, it’s a process. Don't expect thunder or lightning or even to feel different at all right away. Please don't think that you will have to "give up" anything to follow Jesus, just focus on Him and nothing that happens later on or changes that you will eventually want to make will seem like a sacrifice at all. Indeed, no life is whole unless you are living for Jesus - just give it time.

As a matter of fact, you can even keep your prayer asking for this as a secret from the person who sent you this analysis. After all, you certainly wouldn't want to give them the satisfaction that they've been right about Jesus after all of these years. Just whatever you do, don't say, "sounds good, but perhaps later". Do it NOW!! Jesus promises you that you will never regret your decision to follow Him, but you definitely will regret it if you don't.

The Escape Route

The journey towards Christianity began my love of all things prophecy. Indeed, it indirectly saved me by directing me towards the grace of Jesus. However, my next task was to sort through the various doctrine believed by so many seemingly well-intentioned Christians that were in direct opposition to each other, each claiming passionately to be right wherein only one can be right. I read about various Rapture theologies and in the end, it seemed overwhelmingly logical to me that Jesus would take us off this decrepit planet before any of His judgments / wrath would begin in earnest to rain down on earth. This is often referred to as a “Pre-Tribulation Rapture”.

I believe strongly that Jesus directly promised those who love Him that He would do just that. After all, what Good Shepherd would purposely put the sheep He so loves and tends in the way of harm that He Himself is creating / allowing?

Important: Please note that this is different from man-created problems and trials! We were never promised an easy life in the Bible by accepting Christ! Indeed, most will attest that our lives after accepting Christ is no easier, and sometime even harder! However, this comes with a peace that transcends logic. I won’t even try to describe it – you will know what I am talking about when it is time.

After a while, and the more I thought about it, the more the Pre-Tribulation Rapture excited me. While being with the Lord forever is plenty to be excited about on its own, not having to experience a possibly painful death to do it (yes, I'm a bit cowardly) seemed too good to be true. But with God, He IS the only "good" AND He IS the only Truth!!

The next logical question was; when would the Rapture occur? On this, the Bible is exceedingly clear - no man (nor woman) will know the day or the hour. However, based on my rigorous training in math and statistics, I thought surely there must be clues (or at least hints) in the Bible as to how much longer, in general, we would have to wait until the Rapture. The above was meant to show you that we may almost be at the Tribulation. Therefore, we must be close to be the Rapture. Trust me, the end-times will be so absolutely horrific, you will not want to be here. Re-read the above as necessary and make the decision for Christ!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I must be very clear that in no way am I date-setting in this article. I have no clue when the Rapture will be, other than surely it will be within the next few years, perhaps even today. This is similar to what the vast majority of prophecy experts already feel. Now, even Non-Believers are seeing that a huge change for the worse is coming. In summary, the purpose of this article is merely to outline various Bible based mathematical reasons why we will most likely be Raptured in the not too distant future and that the Tribulation will commence shortly thereafter.

May God Bless You All!! For those who believe before it is too late, I will see you in the air…and soon! For those who waited too long, you will need to pray to Jesus for strength and guidance. But even more importantly: DO NOT take the mark of the Beast under any circumstances, even if your earthly life depends on it. I am not sure the precise form this mark will be in, but you will know. This mark will be instituted by the False Prophet on behalf of the Anti-Christ. These two end-time evil-doers will reveal themselves at the designated time. Take the mark and you will suffer in Hell for all eternity – do NOT let anyone convince you otherwise, they are WRONG!!

* * * * * *

Brothers and sisters, are you ready to meet the Lord in the sky? Repent and believe that grace is by faith alone and can ONLY be attained through Jesus Christ. Get ready and leave the temptations of this world behind and ready yourself as a Bride.

Surely, time is almost up.
