Hi everyone!
I do not know if this qualifies as "philosophy" or not but it certainly is a way of life and a way of thinking, (and may indeed have something to do with your meta physics)  

Those adhering to a literal interpretation of the Scripture should not have a problem with the following literal understanding, (though surely many will). However, we cannot possibly interpret absolutely everything as absolutely literal, and so by seeking, by the Holy Spirit, and in prayer, we come to understand what is literal and what is allegorical, spiritual, and supernal, in Scripture passages and their contexts. The following is therefore my "two cents" concerning the philosophy of the end of the heavens and the earth.

The Scripture is full of what some might refer to as "choke points". Everything else must go through these Scripture "choke points" to be properly understood. Most of the "choke points" are clearly defined by Yeshua himself when he walked among men, in the flesh, and are provided in the four Gospel accounts. Surely most of us here would agree that the words of Christ are non-negotiable. For this reason there are many places in the NT epistles where a certain parable or doctrinal statement of Yeshua may be referenced but because the writers did not expound upon the perfectly clear statements made in the Gospels, the parable, doctrinal statement, or teaching spoken of, is often not referenced in the particular epistle, (to do such a thing is a dangerous and careless mistake in most cases if not all).

We are expected to know the words of Christ Yeshua first and foremost before we truly begin to delve deeper into the epistles. All true doctrine flows from Yeshua and his words, parables, and teachings, whether forward into the NT epistles or going back into the OT shadows. Yeshua answers all of it, (although this is not always clear to us primarily because of preconceptions and misconceptions from erroneous teachings). In Mark 13, a companion passage with Matthew 24, we read that Yeshua is speaking directly to only four people and speaking with them privately on the Mount of Olives. We also should all know that the Gospel of Mark is most likely that of Peter who was there in person during this discourse. So this passage is a first hand account given by Peter who was there, (Mark is probably the convert and apprentice of Peter called "Marcus my son" in 1Pet.5:13).

Mark 13:1-4 KJV
1. And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2. And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4. Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

It is indisputable that this is a private conversation between Yeshua and the four apostles named in the above. But what then do most prophecy teachers, preachers, and theologians do when they come to the following portion of the passage?

Mark 13:28-31 KJV
28. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29. So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

How many times have we all heard prophecy teachers and preachers quote this passage, (or the companion fig tree parable from Matthew 24) and follow it up with a question and "obvious answer" interpretation for us? What is the next statement they invariably give after quoting this passage? They always follow it with a quick comment similar to the following remarks:

"Which generation is he talking about? The generation which sees all these things come to pass of course"…

As if it were obvious to everyone but the blind. However, nothing could be further from the truth. The facts are these:

Yeshua is having a private conversation with Peter, James, John, and Andrew, face to face, in private, at the Mount of Olives overlooking the Temple. And Yeshua states to them unequivocally:

"Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done."

Who among us is willing to interpret the words of Christ literally? That he meant what he said to whom he said it to? Because this happens to be one of those Scripture "choke points" and at this point in the discourse Yeshua says nothing about a "later generation" that will see all these things come to pass. He flat out and plainly states to the four apostles named, who were present at the start of the passage, that their own generation would not pass until all of the things he just foretold to them had transpired.

Therefore, if one is to be serious about the words of the Master then the same one makes his doctrine to fit what was spoken by the Master. The only possible conclusion that applies to us all is that when we shed this mortal body, (the saints do not die) then the sun shall be darkened, the moon shall not give her light, the stars of heaven shall fall, the powers of heaven shall be shaken, and we will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven and he will return for us, but each in his appointed time, and this accordingly after great tribulation.

Mark 13:23-31 KJV
23. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
24. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25. And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
28. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29. So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

Matthew 24:27-35 KJV
27. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Wheresoever the carcass is, there shall the eagles be gathered together. Two women shall be grinding at the mill, two men working in the field, one is taken and the other is left. Where? One is taken up on the wings of a great eagle, (Rev.12:14) the wicked one is left to vultures, ravens, or birds of prey, (also referred to by the same Greek word for "eagles") and every eye shall see, but each in his appointed time. For it is appointed unto men once to die, and then the judgment, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. This is the only way to make the doctrine fit the clear statement by the Master that the generation of the apostles would see all of these things come to pass before that generation itself passed away. Anyone willing to be serious may know that this is true by the last statement of the Mark 13 passage:

Mark 13:37 KJV
37. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

The Gospel of Christ is personal and so is "the end" for every person of every generation. I am not suggesting that the world does not come upon a deadline, (imo we quickly approach it now) and there are obviously time indicators in many places in the Scripture, and I do believe there is an end to this world, (when all of the saints come to faith what need is there for the physical world any longer?). However, this is the primary meaning of Mark 13 and Matthew 24 in my understanding.

The kingdom of heaven is forever and ever, (Daniel 7:18) so then what "heaven" and what "earth" is it that shall pass away in this context? It is the natural fleshly mind and the natural fleshly body of man, which is the same "old man" that we are admonished to put away, and rather to put on the "new man" and "mind" which is Christ.

Ephesians 4:20-24 KJV
20. But ye have not so learned Christ;
21. If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24. And that ye put on the new man, which after G-d is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Colossians 3:9-10 KJV
9. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10. And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Also to be included in the Gospel is the anointing of Christ by Mary, (Matt.26:13).

Matthew 24:13-14 KJV
13. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Matthew 26:6-13 KJV
6. Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7. There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9. For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

John 11:1-2 KJV
1. Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2. (It was that Mary which anointed the L-rd with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

John 12:3-5 KJV
3. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5. Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

What was it that Mary had done in her anointing of Yeshua twice, (once upon his head and the other at his feet) with the most costly and precious anointing oil and perfume that she could find? And what is it about this which has the most to do with the Gospel message? And why would it be preached in all the world wheresoever the Gospel is preached?

Shabbat Shalom
In Yeshua

Daniel 9  ~  Ezra 4

Enoch the scribe note and first known writer prophesied of "Seventy Generations". We then find in Luke 3 the genealogy of seventy six generations from Adam to Christ, (inclusive). The Scripture clearly tells us that Enoch was the seventh from Adam. Not only is this found in the Genesis account but Jude 1:14 states the same unequivocally and again names Enoch a prophet, (meaning at least some portion of the writing is canonical since Jude quotes from it). One needs only to count the generations given by Luke 3 to discover a resulting sixty nine generations from Enoch to Christ.

69 + 7  =  76 Generations

1 Enoch 10:15
15. To Michael likewise the L-rd said, "Go and announce his crime to Semyâzâ, and to the others who are with him, who have been associated with women, that they might be polluted with all their impurity. And [announce] when all their sons shall be slain, [announce] when they shall see the perdition of their beloved, bind them for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, even to the day of judgment, and of consummation, until the judgment, the effect of which will last for ever, be completed.

The understanding of this (and any non-canonical apocryphal works) should be no different than when we interpret what has been deemed as the canonical Scripture. If it be of YHWH then all of the same rules will apply and it will align with Scripture and with the sound doctrine of Scripture. What is "soil" according to the Parable of the Sower? Soil is the earth, the heart of man, 'adam, 'adamah, land, soil, earth, it refers to man, (the "rocky soil" of the Parable of the Sower is the condition of the heart, etc.,). What then is meant by the phrase "the valleys of the earth" in Enoch 10:15? The "valleys of the earth" are low points of humanity or wicked men. We see the very same when Yeshua arrives on the scene in the Gospel accounts: evil spirits abound everywhere, residing in and over people, causing severe maladies, sicknesses, and perversions. These wicked spirits were bound up in "the valleys of the earth" which are the low points of humanity, not only residing in the wicked, but also the sinners whom Christ came to set free and save from bondage. The Seventy Generations then are from Enoch to the first judgment at the time of Christ, and those bound up in the valleys of the earth are not the fallen watchers, (Nphiliym) but the wicked spirits of their offspring which were originally the giants, (hagibboriym). Was there a day of judgment, according to the Scripture, at the time of the first advent of Yeshua? Yes, according to Christ himself:

John 12:27-32 KJV
27. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30. Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

John 16:7-11 KJV
7. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9. Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10. Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11. Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

The prince, (archon) of this world, (kosmos) was judged at the cross because for the first and only time, the archon of this kosmos world order had killed a truly innocent man: Christ Yeshua, the only innocent One. As for the next two verses from the Enoch 10 passage, they concern the Parable of the Wheat and Tares, the end of the age, and of the world, and they are an exact fit to the Parable of the Wheat and Tares:

1 Enoch 10:16-17
16. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever.
17. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations.

The statement "in those days" (plural) refers to the "Two Great Days" (2Pet.3:8, Psalm 90:4) the two thousand years between the first judgment and the final judgment of the prince of this world. The final judgment will include all of the evil ones locked up since the first judgment. Those locked up are locked up with the souls of mortals which have refused the offering of Yeshua since the time of the cross. The spirits of mortal men are immortal, (though dead in trespasses and sins) and become a cage for the demons that inhabit their bodies when the wicked person physically dies. The two are apparently bound together as v.17 above states because Yeshua implies the very same in the Parable of the Wheat and Tares as well as other Scripture which verifies this terrible fact. If there were any doubt this teaching Amos 8 and Rev.18 both speak of the same, (the "basket" of Amos 8:1 is literally HSN#3619 "kluwb" a bird cage or bird trap).

Revelation 18:2 KJV
2. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

The wicked spirits were once the souls of the giants according to Enoch. This then must be one reason they do not like dry and arid places. They prefer a body just as Yeshua taught in several passages. They know that they are judged and apparently they do not want to enter eternal damnation alone. Therefore it is in their interest to deceive man so as to make themselves a host or a "house". Wicked men now become the "bird trap" for these wicked spirits and so the wicked man ultimately becomes "the cage" according to the Scripture. Just as the Parable of the Sower teaches, the wicked one, Satan, and his messengers are like fowls (unclean birds) which steal the seed of the truth from the hearts, (soil) of some men, (the compacted ground by the wayside) but the man or woman having a ready heart has the "fertile soil" or "good ground" which receives the seed of the truth and begins to bring forth fruit in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 12:43-45 KJV
43. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

1 Enoch 10:18-22
18. Destroy all the souls addicted to dalliance, and the offspring of the Watchers, for they have tyrannized over mankind.
19. Let every oppressor perish from the face of the earth;
20. Let every evil work be destroyed;
21. [Let] The plant of righteousness and of rectitude appear, and its produce become a blessing.
22. Righteousness and rectitude shall be for ever planted with delight.

Who is the plant of righteousness and rectitude? Who is the olive tree to which we, as branches, are grafted into? Who is the true vine? The Father owns all of it, and the Father is the "husbandman" or the owner and planter. In the olive tree analogy the olive tree belongs to YHWH, he is the husbandman, the owner. Yeshua is the root of the Olive Tree, the True Vine, the Tree of Life, the Plant of Rectitude and Righteousness. Yeshua is the seed which first died, and then like a mustard seed sprouted, (netser) and branched out, and which became a kingdom filling the whole earth.

John 15:1-5 KJV
1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

1 Enoch 10:23-29
23. "And then shall all the saints give thanks, and live until they have begotten a thousand children, while the whole period of their youth, and their Sabbaths shall be completed in peace. In those days all the earth shall be cultivated in righteousness; it shall be wholly planted with trees, and filled with benediction; every tree of delight shall be planted in it.
24. In it shall vines be planted; and the vine which shall be planted in it shall yield fruit to satiety; every seed, which shall be sown in it, shall produce for one measure a thousand; and one measure of olives shall produce ten presses of oil.
25. Purify the earth from all oppression, from all injustice, from all crime, from all impiety, and from all the pollution which is committed upon it. Exterminate them from the earth.
26. Then shall all the children of men be righteous, and all nations shall pay me divine honours, and bless me; and all shall adore me.
27. The earth shall be cleansed from all corruption, from every crime, from all punishment, and from all suffering; neither will I again send a deluge upon it from generation to generation for ever.
28. In those days I will open the treasures of blessing which are in heaven, that I may cause them to descend upon earth, and upon all the works and labour of man.
29. Peace and equity shall associate with the sons of men all the days of the world, in every generation of it."

The greatest portion of the debate over Daniel 9 has always been concerning the word shabuwa` (HSN#7620) translated as "weeks" and whether the word is even actually there in v.24-26 or not. Technically it is not there. The word is employed in the common feminine gender only in Dan.9:27 where "shabuwa` 'echad" is properly rendered as "one week" (which is the only place it is properly rendered). In the other places which it occurs, (before v.27) it is given in masculine gender and phonetically written almost as identical with the word for "seventy" (#7657 shab`iym) the only difference being in essence the equivalent of a jot or a tittle albeit the block form script "meat" of the letters are the same as #7657. It is therefore probable that the one is a word play on the other since also the two words are given together at the beginning of the prophecy (v.24). For instance the word employed by Daniel could have been used only here in this passage, (through all of Scripture this is the only place it is found) so as to seal up the book until the time of the end as he was told to do. It has therefore stood as a mystery to modern prophecy minds for the most part, (but it was not hidden to the apostles and writers of the original NT).

The only way that one may possibly understand the truth, as with all Scripture, is by the Holy Spirit and by allowing all Scripture to shape our understanding of the passage. The two words employed at the start of Dan.9:24 are nearly identical in the Hebrew yet are translated "Seventy weeks" (shabu`iym shib`iym). If the "shabu`iym" in question are in fact "generations" then the decree mentioned in v.24 (translated as "determined") speaks partially of the 1-Enoch decree of "seventy generations". The word "shabu`iym" then becomes ambidextrous in nature as a dual-meaning wordplay. On the one hand it would mean "generations" in the family grouping or familial sense of the word but also in a time oriented function when the reader understands by the Spirit what is meant within the text. However, at the same time it also serves for the dual purpose meaning of "weeks" within the same text. If this is the case then it certainly explains why it has been misunderstood for so long. It also explains why Luke placed sixty nine generational names in the Luke 3 genealogy from Enoch to Christ.

Yeshua may indeed have answered this very question to Peter, (in the statement concerning "seventy times seven"). Notice Yeshua says UNTIL seventy times seven. In much the same way as surmised herein, the statement suggests a time oriented nature by using the word UNTIL even though the nature of the remarks appear only to deal with forgiving ones brethren. In fact the entire passage concerns forgiveness of our brothers; Peter asks how often should we forgive our brother? The answer is essentially to forgive all "seventy families" of our brothers times seven, or "UNTIL seventy times seven" which suggests that there are indeed seventy families in the family tree of YHWH. This would make the "generations" of Dan.9 not only time frames but also generational families, (seventy family groups).

Matthew 18:21-22, 35 KJV
21. Then came Peter to him, and said, L-rd, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22. Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
35. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

The implications are that there are seventy generations in the family tree of YHWH, both by these words of the Master and by the genealogy found in Luke 3. If there are indeed at least symbolically "seventy generations" then we should expect to find somewhere in the Scripture where sixty two generations returned to build Jerusalem according to the second part of the decree given in Daniel 9:25. The word translated "determined" by the KJV in Daniel 9:24, (HSN#2852 cathak) specifically means "to cut off" as in cutting off in sections, as in the distinct sections or ordinances of a decree. Since the decree given is stated to be "cathak" then the second portion or "cut out" is given in Dan.9:25 with the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem.

Strong's Ref. #2852
Romanized  chathak
Pronounced khaw-thak'
a primitive root; properly, to cut off, i.e. (figuratively) to decree:
KJV--determine.

From the time that the word or command goes forth should then be "seven generations UNTIL Messiah" (as opposed to seven "weeks" which is generally accepted as a 49 year period) and this would explain why the "seven" is purposely separated from the "sixty and two". We also should expect then to find that indeed sixty two generations returned to rebuild the plaza-square and city ("wall" is simply not in the text). Ezra chapter 2 describes exactly that scenario, sixty two generations of family names returned from the time of Zerubbabel to the time of Ezra the Priest, Scribe, and Chronicler.

Daniel 9:24-27 KJV
24. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

26. And after the generations sixty and two shall Mashiyach cut, but not for himself. And the people of the Prince that shall come shall corrupt [#7843 shachath] the city, even the holy, and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Strong's Ref. #7843
Romanized  shachath
Pronounced shaw-khath'
a primitive root; to decay, i.e. (causatively) ruin (literally or figuratively):
KJV--batter, cast off, corrupt(-er, thing), destroy(-er, -uction), lose, mar, perish, spill, spoiler, X utterly, waste(-r).

Strong's Ref. #3772
Romanized  karath
Pronounced kaw-rath'
a primitive root; to cut (off, down or asunder); by implication, to destroy or consume; specifically, to covenant (i.e. make an alliance or bargain, originally by cutting flesh and passing between the pieces):
KJV--be chewed, be con-[feder-]ate, covenant, cut (down, off), destroy, fail, feller, be freed, hew (down), make a league ([covenant]), X lose, perish, X utterly, X want.

The phrase "Mashiyach shall cut" means he will "CUT IN COVENANT" (and not necessarily that Messiah will be "cut off"). This is born out by the fact that the Jews of the time were not expecting Messiah to die or be "cut off". Therefore they understood the passage to mean that the anointed Prince would cut a covenant, but not for himself. The word "karath" means primarily TO CUT, and even by the Strong's definition it was originally to cut by "passing between the pieces" as the covenant with Abram. In the same way Yeshua cut the week in half and placed the church age into the midst of the week. It is the very same terminology used of the covenant which was made with Abraham and the very same word "karath" is employed in the very same way:

Genesis 15:18 LIT
18.

Genesis 15:18 KJV
18. In the same day the L-rd made [cut] a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Daniel 9:27 TUA (Transliterated Unaccented Bible)
27. Whigbiyr briytlarabiym shabuwa` 'echad.  Wachtsiy hashabuwa` yashbiytzebach uwminchah.  W`al knap shiquwtsiym mshomem, w`ad- kalahwnechratsah titak `al- shomem.
27. And [he] shall confirm [mighty, prevail, strengthen] the covenant for the many one week. And the midst of the week he shall put to rest sacrifice and oblation. And upon the overspreading of abominations he shall make desolate, even unto the consummation, and that [which is] determined shall be poured out upon the desolate.

Yeshua cut the WEEK of Sukkot-Tabernacles in HALF

John 7:2-14 KJV
2. Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4. For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5. For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6. Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8. Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
9. When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10. But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11. Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12. And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13. Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14. Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

Sukkot III - Tabernacles-Booths III  =  Tishri 17
Pesach II - First-Fruits Wave Sheaf  =  Nisan 16-17 (the year of the Crucifixion)
Tishri 17  ~  Nisan 16  =  180 Days

There are three Passovers mentioned in the Gospel of John, (which are one full year) but the public Temple Ministry of Christ was a mere 180 days, (half of 360). It is the same as was portrayed in the typology of the great 180-day feast of king Ahasuerus. John Ch.7 quoted above had taken place after the first two Passovers, (14 Nisan and the second Passover "festival" of the second month, 14 Iyyar) of the full one-year ministry of Yeshua.

Public Temple Ministry of Christ  =  180 Days (half of 360)

Esther 1:2-4 KJV
2. That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
3. In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
4. When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.

Next - The much disregarded Ezra4 chronology, the going forth of the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, (first given in Torah) and the time oriented implications of those items in relationship to the Daniel 9 Seventy Weeks.

In Yeshua

So then, Daniel 11:2 very likely pertains to three "kings" (rulers) of the line of David according to the promise made to him from YHWH. However, Ezra was a direct descendent of Levi-Aaron, not Judah, (compare 1Chr6:1-15 with Ezra7:1-6 lineage posted above, Ezra is of the same lineage as Jeshua son of Jehozadak). And hence the curious statement of Dan.11:2 "and the fourth shall be far richer than they all"… (but no mention of the fourth as a "king").

1) Sheshbazzar - Prince of Judah - appointed by Cyrus.
2) Zerubbabel - Governor of Judah - Darius I
3) Nehemiah - Governor-Tirshatha of Judah - appointed by Artaxerxes II.
4) Ezra (not a "king" but fourth and far richer than all: Torah Scribe).

What would stir up all the realm of Greece? Greece is the he-goat of Dan.8 not touching the ground, the prince of the power of the air, (Dan.8:5, Dan.11:3, and Alexander is the first king). Torah learning, Torah studies, and true Torah teaching: Ezra stirred up the prince of the power of the air, the Prince of Greece, and thus Dan.11 follows the priesthood and spiritual battles between Judah (Negev) and Samaria (the king of the North) until the time of Herod and of Christ the Prince of the Covenant of Dan.11:22.

However, this all pertains to a whole different "thread" of information. The point is that Ezra passed on in the same year that Alexander died at Babylon, which was 323BC, WHICH WAS A YEAR OF JUBILEE (if we allow the Scripture to simply mean what it says). We have a fair amount of certainty that 573BC was a Jubilee from the information given in Ezekiel 40:1, the text even includes the words "Rosh Hashanah" ("the head of the year") and as it was the tenth day of the month, which is Yom Kippur when the Jubilee is to be proclaimed, and the 25th year of the captivity, and the 14th year after the city was smitten, (573BC). There are plenty of great articles to be found searching the internet concerning the 573BC-Jubilee topic. If we simply allow the Jubilee to be exactly 50 years total (inclusive) then they are chronologically very easy to figure on any timeline. The Exodus would have taken place 40 years before at least the beginning of the counting. The first Jubilee would have been observed from the entry into Canaan at Passover and the second circumcision at Gilgal: "And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year" (Joshua 5:11). Then every 49+1 years thereafter on a calendar or timeline would have been a Year of Jubilee:

1573, 1523, 1373, 1323, until 573BC, then to 423BC, (Darius II) 323BC, etc.

From here it becomes fairly simplified as Scripture lays it out in Nehemiah.

404-359BC - Artaxerxes II Mnemon
385BC - 20th year of Artaxerxes (Nehemiah 2:1)
373BC (Jubilee) - 32nd Year of Artaxerxes (Nehemiah 5:14, 13:6)

The problem arises because of the statement in Nehemiah 6:15 concerning the wall being completed in the fifty and second day. The word "yowm" is singular (not "yowmiym" which would be plural, "days"). The Young's Literal Bible Translation correctly translates the verse.

Nehemiah 6:15 KJV
15. So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.

Nehemiah 6:15 TUA (Transliterated Unaccented)
15. Watishlam hachowmah b`esriym wachmishah le-'Eluwl --lachmishiym uwshnayim yowm!

Nehemiah 6:15 YGB (Young's Bible Translation)
15. And the wall is completed in the twenty and fifth of Elul, on the fifty and second day;

Anyone who gives a serious inquiry into the book of Nehemiah will quickly see that there is no way that the entire wall was built in a mere 52 days according to the account given by Nehemiah himself, (also that would not match the prophecy of Dan.9 of occurring "in the troubles of the times"). The Neh.6:15 statement is an idiom, the wall was finished in the 52nd day but the portion spoken of in the passage includes ONLY THE STANDING UP OF THE GATES. The entire wall was more likely built in 62 years and the final portion of the wall, (the standing up of the gates into their openings) was completed in the 52nd day of the return of Nehemiah to Jerusalem, in the 62nd year of building the wall. Nehemiah makes it clear that only the doors of the gates are left to be stood up at the beginning of the passage:

Nehemiah 6:1 KJV
1. Now it came to pass when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)

Nehemiah had arrived in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes II Mnemon (385BC) to begin the building the wall. He was in Jerusalem for twelve years, (as Tirshatha-Governor) until the thirty second year of Artaxerxes and then returned to Babylon. He then came back to hang the doors of the gates when the work of the circuit of the wall was completed and all that was remaining was the standing up of the doors into their openings or gates.

Nehemiah 13:6-7 KJV
6. But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
7. And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of G-d.

If we understand that the entire wall project entailed sixty two years then the timeline would be thus:

404-359BC - Artaxerxes II Mnemon
385BC - 20th year of Artaxerxes - Nehemiah comes to Jerusalem.
373BC (Jubilee) - 32nd Year of Artaxerxes - Nehemiah returns to Babylon.

385BC - Arrival of Nehemiah in Jerusalem - The Wall is begun.
385BC subtract 62 Years  =  323BC - Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem.
323BC (Jubilee) - The Wall is completed the 52nd day of Nehemiah's return.

By the following we can know the timing is true:

Nehemiah 13:28 KJV
28. And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.

Not only has Eliashib already served as high priest but the Book of Nehemiah, (which according to the modern shepherds was supposed to have closed the canon of Scripture some four hundred years before Christ) actually lists the descendants of Jeshua son of Jehozadak to the time of Jaddua. Jaddua was high priest when Alexander came through even according to the famous Josephus story of the dream vision which Alexander had received of Jaddua and the procession of the priests in the white robes as he approached the city of Jerusalem, (Jos.Ant.Bk.11.Ch.8:4-5).

Nehemiah 12:10-22 KJV
10. And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada,
11. And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.
12. And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
13. Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
14. Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
15. Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
16. Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
17. Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai:
18. Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, jehonathan;
19. And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;
20. Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;
21. Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.
22. The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.

Notice also the above phrase "Darius the PERSIAN" (not "the Mede"). It was at the close of the Tanak-OT canon that "the commandment to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem" was given by Ezra. It is the last year of the sojourn of Ezra in this earth, the year is 323BC, a year of Jubilee. The wall was completed and the people were gathered in the city in the seventh month.

Nehemiah 8:2 KJV (Rosh Hashanah - Tishri 1)
2. And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.

Nehemiah 8:4-9 KJV
4. And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
5. And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
6. And Ezra blessed the L-rd, the great G-d. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the L-rd with their faces to the ground.
7. Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
8. So they read in the book in the law of G-d distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
9. And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the L-rd your G-d; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.

Nehemiah 8:13-18 KJV (Preparing for Sukkot-Tabernacles)
13. And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
14. And they found written in the law which the L-rd had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
15. And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
16. So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of G-d, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
17. And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
18. Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of G-d. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.

This is "the going forth of the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem". What is the holy city Jerusalem according to Scripture? It is mount Zion of above, the city of the living YHWH, the heavenly Jerusalem of above, the mother of us all, (Heb.12:22, Gal.4:26, Rev.21). Who are the children of the holy city?

THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL - THE SAINTS - THE CHILDREN OF ZION
THE GREAT CONGREGATION - EKKLESIA

What is our "Sukkah" that we are commanded to build at Sukkot-Tabernacles? It is OUSELVES, our lives and what things we surround ourselves with, our temporary dwellings or "booths" here on this earth, our tent, our body, mind, and soul, and the place of meeting, (mow`ed) where YHWH and his Son Yeshua will come and sup with us if we open the door of our hearts to him. Thus "the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem" was given by Ezra directly from Torah, (Lev.23:39-44) at Rosh Hashanah in the year of release and Jubilee, 323BC. But the children of Israel had not fully understood it since the days of Joshua the son of Nun. The year 323BC is exactly Seven Generations before Meshiach arrived. This timing is also supported by the Matt.1 genealogy where there are stated to be fourteen generations from the Babylonian captivity to Christ, (half of that being seven generations).

Matthew 1:17 KJV
17. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

323BC - 28AD  =  350 Years - Seven Generations - Seven Jubilee "Weeks"

Luke 4:13-21 KJV (Shortly after Baptism and the Temptation)
13. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14. And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
15. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18. The Spirit of the L-rd is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19. To preach the acceptable year of the L-rd.
20. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

The Jubilees continue from 28AD through 1978AD
1573BC-28AD = 32 Jubilees (1600 Years)
28AD-1978AD = 39 Jubilees (Start of the 72nd and 120th was 1978-79)
1978AD-2028AD = 72nd or 120th Jubilee
2028AD - 15 Years taken from the sundial of Ahaz? (2013AD)

28AD-688AD = 660 A/O/D-Dome of the Rock
688AD-1948AD = 1260 Years (The Book of The Revelation of Yeshua)
688AD-1978AD = 1290 Years (Daniel 12:11)
323BC-1978AD = 2300 Years (Daniel 8:14)
Thus began the cleansing of the entire Qodesh ...
Three Days and a Hemi remain ...

1 John 2:18 ASV
18. Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.

Hi asaracini
While I appreciate your kind words, please allow me to add that YHWH does not need any of us to do anything for him. There was a time when I likened myself to a "minor prophet" and assumed of myself that if I "studied to show myself approved" I might even be found worthy to become one of "two witnesses" doing great things for YHWH, in the name of Yeshua, in these last days. And like so many others now, so full of pride, I thought I knew more than anyone else and was superior in all things unto the works and the wonderful knowledge of Christ. One day in my great swelling pride I became entangled in the tail of a dragon and was cast down to earth without even knowing it. And in my arrogance, like a star having fallen from heaven, I took the key that only I had, (each of us has his own key) and opened up the mouth of a well. The sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of a great iron furnace, even darkened with the locusts of Amalek, even the crowned ones of Edom, Moab, and the prominent sons of Ammon, (every crown about the weight of a talent).

Every man has his appointment and none shall be alone in his appointed times. Yet each appointment, (mow`ed) is separate because we are the tabernacle of the congregation, the tent of meeting, ('ohel mow`ed). Each of us is like an individual sanctuary, a tabernacle-sukkah, residing in the midst of our impurities in the great congregation of YHWH. No man knows the day or the hour of his meeting in the air with Yeshua, but we all who believe will have that meeting in the air and in the clouds of heaven, (see Lev.16, Rev.8:1-4, even the cloud of incense). And he that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death, and he that endures unto the end shall be saved, but he that seeks to save his life shall loose it, ("Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself").

So the falling away and the apostasy comes, and the son of perdition will be revealed, the one whom Yeshua will destroy with the brightness of his coming, and every one will know that Christ is he who searches the reigns and HEARTS. Glory be to Christ Yeshua our High Priest, according to the order of Melchizedek, who comes at the appointed time, in the fullness of time, and even as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so is the Son of man three days and three nights in the HEART (GSN#2588 kardia) of the land: for to atone, and for to cleanse, and for to purge, even as the carcasses are strewn in the broad place of the great city, (spiritually called Sodom and Egypt). For wheresoever the carcass is there shall the eagles be gathered together.

Genesis 15:9-18 KJV
9. And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10. And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11. And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12. And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror (HSN#0367) of great darkness (HSN#2822) fell upon him.
13. And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17. And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
18. In the same day the L-rd made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Hebrews 10:31, 35-39
31. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living G-d.
35. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of G-d, ye might receive the promise.
37. "For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry."
38. "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."
39. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Zechariah 13:4-9
4. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
5. But he shall say: "No prophet am I, a man tilling the soil am I, for one purchased me from my youth!"
6. And one shall say unto him, "What are these wounds between thine hands?" Then he shall answer, "Those with which I was wounded in the house of those who love me."
7. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith YHWH of armies: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
8. And it shall come to pass that in all the land, saith YHWH, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, YHWH 'Elohay!

In Yeshua

Continuing forward with the Jubilee theme: The northern tribes of the house of Israel went into captivity in a year of Jubilee, (723-722BC) if the most commonly accepted date of the captivity is to be accepted as correct, (722BC). Ezek.4 gives the time of the dispersion as 390 years, (even a day for a year). However, most prophecy teachers (mistakenly) add the 40 years of the house of Judah to the 390 years of the house of Israel, yet nowhere are we told to do any such thing. Even Ezekiel is commanded to perform each time allotment separately, (by switching sides and thus dividing them). If we keep them separated then both timeframes fit separate but very precise timelines predicated upon the previous Jubilee information from another post above which is a given year of Jubilee in 573BC based upon the information from Ezek.40:1 and also that of a year of Jubilee being the last year of every fifty year period, (and although the length of the year changed on all ancient calendars 722-701BC, it matters not for counting Jubilee cycles).

The prophesied dispersion of Judah is exact if we understand that the years prophesied in Ezek.4 are MULTIPLIED BY SEVEN. And if the house of Judah fits accordingly then we can be fairly sure that the northern tribes of the house of Israel also fit their respective timeline, (and that indeed 723-722BC is the correct year of the captivity and indeed also another Jubilee year). The Lev.26 "oath of the curse" is written to all Israel, (the house of Judah and the house of Israel were one at the time). The first oath of curse of "seven times" is that the chastisement will be augmented seven times more for the breaking of the covenant and the unrepentant heart, (it is all about the circumcision of the heart).

Leviticus 26:13-18 KJV (Seven Times Chastisement)
13. I am the L-rd your G-d, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
14. But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
15. And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
16. I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
18. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish (HSN#3256 yacar) you seven times more (HSN#3254 yacaph) for your sins.

Strong's Ref. #3254 is to add, augment, or to MULTIPLY.

Strong's Ref. #3254
Romanized  yacaph
Pronounced yaw-saf'
a primitive root; to add or augment (often adverbial, to continue to do a thing):
KJV--add, X again, X any more, X cease, X come more, + conceive again, continue, exceed, X further, X gather together, get more, give more-over, X henceforth, increase (more and more), join, X longer (bring, do, make, much, put), X (the, much, yet) more (and more), proceed (further), prolong, put, be [strong-] er, X yet, yield.

Strong's Ref. #3256 is instructive correction (a Father to his children).

Strong's Ref. #3256
Romanized  yacar
Pronounced yaw-sar'
a primitive root; to chastise, literally (with blows) or figuratively (with words); hence, to instruct:
KJV--bind, chasten, chastise, correct, instruct, punish, reform, reprove, sore, teach.

Starting with Judah then Ezekiel is told that the "siege years" of judgment will be 40. This judgment multiplied by 7 is a total of 280 years, (7x40=280). Thus the time of the "siege years" of Judah will be a total of 280 years for their transgressions and unrepentant hearts.

Ezekiel 4:1-6 KJV
1. Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
2. And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
3. Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4. Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
5. For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6. And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

We now know that Nebuchadnezzar came through Palestine the first time in 606BC, (there really is no need to argue over a 3-6 month period, within Fall-606 to Spring-605, unless one desires to waste three pages of a thread to end up in the same place where we are at this point). We also know from Scripture that for three years, under Jehoiakim, Judah had rebelled and did not serve the king of Babylon. This rebellion was then from 603-600BC or 602-599BC. Then his son Jehoiachin-Jeconiah, (also Coniah) surrendered and was taken captive to Babylon, (599BC is also supported by the information in Ezek.40:1 of the 25th year of captivity).

2 Kings 24:1 KJV
1. In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.

Jehoiakim reigned 11 years - 2 Kings 23:36.
Jehoiachin reigned 3 months - 2 Kings 24:8.
Zedekiah reigned 11 years - 2 Kings 24:18.
The reign of Zedekiah ended when the city was smitten in 587BC.

605BC-602BC Jehoiakim served Nebuchadnezzar 3 years.
602BC-599BC Rebellion of Jehoiakim - 3 years.
599BC - Jehoachin - 3 months.
598BC-587BC - Zedekiah - 11 years (until the city was smitten).

If we subtract the 3 years of the rebellion under Jehoiakim then the dispersion of Judah is 280 years to the death of Ezra and Alexander the Great in the Jubilee year of 323BC.

606BC-323BC = 283 Years
Subtract 3 Years rebellion of Johoiakim = 280 Years of Ezekiel 4.

So then, with the death of Ezra, in the Jubilee year 323-322BC, the completion and dedication of the Wall, and the giving of the commandment from Torah to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem, (the HOLY CITY people) was exactly 280 years from 603-602BC to 323-322BC prophesied in Ezek.4 for Judah.

The northern kingdom and house of Israel is simpler equation:

7 x 390 = 2730 Years of dispersion to the four winds, (with Elam - Jer.49:36).
At the first 390 years Alexander came through in 333BC and scattered Elam-Media.

723-722BC (Jubilee year and captivity) subtract 390 years = 333BC.
723BC + 2730 Years = 2008AD (no "zero year" in current calendar).

Judah also falls into place with the year 2008AD on the overall timeline from a previous post above. The two timelines reconnect and come into agreement at the year 2008AD. They are rectified and consolidated by the adjustment for the 15 years given to the life of Hezekiah, king of Judah, which were taken from the "sundial of Ahaz" (2Kgs.20:6-11).

323BC-1978AD = 2300 Years
688AD-1948AD = 1260 Years
688AD-1978AD = 1290 Years
688AD-2023AD = 1335 Years ("abridged" to literal 24-hr days?)

2023AD subtract 15 Years (given to Hezekiah) = 2008AD (Sept. 30 Rosh Hashanah)
Sept. 30, 2008 (Trumpets) - May 26, 2012 (Pentecost) = 1335 Days

Please understand I am not date-setting anything, it just is what it is now that 2008 has come and gone and the stock markets of the world collapsed on the very same day, (Sept.29, 2008, Erev Rosh Hashanah, 777pts, 7.0% US NYSE). Seek YHWH in his Word and see what comes in Ezekiel Ch.5 directly after the "siege years" are ended for the house of Israel: the city is divided into three parts… Sound familiar?

Glory to Yeshua!
Shabbat Shalom …

A DREAM  ~
26 July 2002 -- 3:00AM PST
There is a place in a night vision dream where there is a mountain valley. The two sides of the valley on either side are cliffs, like in the Grand Canyon, only straight and narrow. In the valley below is where we run. There are sidewalks, roads, byways, and pathways, houses, buildings, and old friends and neighbors all along the way. All of the sidewalks and pathways have certain squares in the walking surface every so often. These squares have a red lightning bolt insignia embedded in the center of them. If you step on one of the squares a red lightning bolt appears glowing in the surface. There are electrical power plants and power lines strewn above from telephone posts and power beams all along the way and they have electricity and the power of the lightning running through them. When you step on the wrong square a skyship comes looking for you from above. And the skyships are evil only evil.

Along the way I stepped on a square and it lit up with a red lightning bolt. As I ran to hide, I ran into a power plant and that was when I noticed that the skyships hovered over the power plants to siphon electrical power from them. They did not see me as they hovered above but the one I saw, (never, never, looking directly at them) was siphoning electrical power for to come and hunt me down, not knowing I was already there hiding in the power plant. After the skyship left to go search for me, I went along my way through the pathways of the mountain valley and came to a familiar house were I knew I had old church friends from a once more gentle time, my old Bible study friends. It was late evening, beginning to get dark, and the sky was reddish orange like sunset but all around. So I knocked on the door, whispering, but sternly and forcefully, let me in! let me in! A stranger came to the door and let me into the house which was now nothing more than the old living room and lounge where we used to have Bible study together. There was a group having study at the time, and most of them I knew were my old friends, but now I recognized none of them. I began to try to tell them what was transpiring outside but they remained speechless and docile. I thought that they were just listening attentively, so I continued to warn them of all that was happening outside along the walkways, pathways, sidewalks, roads, in the parks, the power plant, and in the sky with the skyships. And when had I finished speaking I looked around the circle of my old friends and they were all dumb, speechless, incoherent, and drooling from the mouth, as though they were in a stupor, like zombies, brains turned to mush, like we see happening all around us now, (this night vision dream was July 26, 2002). So I ran out, exiting from the house, and continued my path along the walkways through the mountain-valley toward the end of the mountain-valley chasm. And I noticed that the skyships followed the power lines along the way, siphoning electrical lightning power from the power lines in the sky.

Night fell, and it was the blackest night but the sky was clear, and I came running out of the mountain-valley when I had finally reached the end of the great chasm. It opened up into a huge open arena with a city in the midst of the clearing, like a giant bowl that is miles and miles around with a city at the center. And there were seven suns, like flat discs, stationed on the horizon, refracting very diminished and low intensity hues in the black of the night. All seven suns were in a row lined up next to each other on the skyline. They were not suns but more like discs, circular, but flat looking rather than spherical. Each sun has a slightly different color variation from the others: hues of red, orange, brimstone-sulfur yellow, pale-onyx greens, and greenish-yellow tints. There were several skyships from above chasing me as I came running out of the mountain valley into the colossal city arena. And I saw in the sky, all around the entire span of the horizon, in a giant circle around the city arena, higher in the sky than the seven suns which were all aligned together on one side of the horizon, I saw three rows of smaller orbs, silvery like chrome, flickering in the black night sky above. The orbs were almost invisible because there was not much light for them to reflect except what shone from the city below and the seven opaque dimly lit suns. Then the sky began to light up like a neon green circuit board, like the circuitry patterns in the design of a computer chipboard or motherboard. The whole sky lit up with green circuitries and running lines, and then writing began floating across the sky, in arc lines across the heavens straight above, blinking and flashing their warning signs, as if digitized into the neon green circuitry in white flashing letters. And it was the final Gospel message for the final time.

The whole sky lit up with a green hue from the neon green streamers running everywhere, like a great giant motherboard across the entire sky above. And when this began to unfold I noticed that the three rows of silvery orbs, the three rows stacked one atop the other, all three rows encircling the entire horizon around the city arena at about 45 degrees in the sky, about half way from looking straight up, those shiny silvery orbs were flickering open and close, open and close, open and close, in quick succession like a speed shutter. The orbs had a type of eyelid which opened and closed in rapid succession like the speed shutter of a camera lens. And that was when I understood that these orbs were portals. Portals lined up in three rows all the way around the entire horizon of the great city, and there was no escaping them on foot, or escaping their craft which were coming and going everywhere across the sky. These were the portals from which the evil came through, the evil skyships, they were coming through the silvery chrome orbs every time one of them would open and close its shutter-eyelid. So I ran towards the city to begin trying to warn people, and I saw the people of the city on the rooftops of the skyscrapers, dancing and celebrating. And all of the buildings were very tall, way up into the heights of the sky, like great high towers, even like the tower of Babel would have been. And way up high, upon all of the flat rooftops of the skyscraper buildings, I could see there were lost people with lost souls, dancing on all of the rooftops and celebrating the arrival of the evil only evil. And there was music blasting everywhere like a concert in a huge arena or coliseum, and the music was deafening, so loud they could not hear any warning from anyone even if they wanted to. And the only signs of any life they had left in them was evil only evil.

HE THAT SHALL ENDURE UNTO THE END - THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED
THEN IF ANY MAN SHALL SAY UNTO YOU - BEHOLD HERE OR THERE IS THE CHRIST - BELIEVE IT NOT!!!

As I awoke I began to pray unceasing and sought confirmation from the Master all day about this matter, (because it was so vivid, and powerful, and very frightening) and lo and behold, while watching the news later that same evening, a story came on Fox News about how a UFO had been sighted over Washington DC that very morning, which was reported to have occurred at around the same time that I would have been having the dream. There were many eye-witnesses which saw two military fighter jets giving chase over the DC Capitol area. Then to my horror the announcer exclaimed how amazing it was that this sighting had happened on the 50th anniversary of a previous mass sighting over the DC area in July 1952. I have since discovered that the land of Israel is the "epicenter" of modern UFO activity and deception just as it was in the pre-flood days of Noah when Nephilim descended at the founts of Yar-Dan. The following is the Fox News report which I saw that day. I later retrieved the transcript from the internet.

Transcript - FOX NEWScast
26 JULY 2002 - 7:40PM EDT.
SHEPARD SMITH: The nighttime skies over the nation's capital alive with blue and orange lights streaking across the sky, so say a lot of panicked people who called in to a radio station, no joke here. American fighter jets in hot pursuit... NORAD confirmed to FOX News that 2 F-16s did scramble, but found nothing! A mystery in the sky above Andrews Air Force Base... that's the one The President uses. Fox report now from Brian Wilson live in our D.C. newsroom. Brian?
BRIAN WILSON: Fair to say, Shepard. A lot more questions than answers at this point, but something strange was going on in the Maryland night sky. Here is what we know; 1:00 a.m. the folks at NORAD saw something they couldn't identify in Maryland airspace, not far from the nation's capitol. The track it was taking caused them some concern so they scrambled 2 DC Air National Guard jets to check things out. Now, DC Air National Guard confirms that 2 F-16s from the 113th Wing were vectored to intercept whatever it was that NORAD was worried about. However, when the pilots got where they were supposed to be, they said they didn't see anything when they arrived on the scene.
Now the folks at NORAD would not provide details about the exact location, direction or speed of the object they were tracking. Now independently, a number of folks who live in Waldorf, Maryland, which is not far from Andrews Air Force Base and not far from the nation's capitol, called local radio station WTOP to say that about the same [time] they witnessed a fast moving, bright blue light in the sky. They go on to claim that the light was being chased by military jets. One witness tells the radio station that the jets were right on its tail. Quote: "as the thing would move, a jet was right behind it..." end of quote. An investigation is underway. But National Guard spokesman Captain Sheldon Smith says, and this is another quote, "We don't have any information about funny lights." By the way, this just happens to be the 50th anniversary of a series of still-unexplained sightings over the nation's capitol, a story that made banner-headline news in 1952. Shepard, we'll continue to watch for this.
SHEPARD SMITH: And now it can be told... Brian Wilson, live in Washington.
END TRANSCRIPT

This night vision dream of July 2002 was in body. Awakening I was curled up in a fetal position and incapable of movement for a several, both fists clenched so tightly that it took a several to get them to open, and my arms were crossed and locked together against my chest as though a high voltage current had been circuiting through me. But the second and more recent one, (where I was terribly humbled) was not a dream: Harpagenta, windows of tritou, one day known to YHWH, inside or outside I know not, (YHWH knows). However, no one is allowed inside the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony or tabernacle of the congregation until "IT IS DONE!"

The dream had I written down earlier that morning and after I saw the report on the news, that very same evening, I knew it was confirmation and so I mailed the dream away to my mother and my brothers. And it came to pass that a Warrior Friend of the King called back at me from the Negev, (stationed thereby is B'er-Lachay-Ro'iy) even Beer Sheva, and Nachalat Yeshua!

Exodus 23:20-25
20. Behold, I send a mal'ak before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
21. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for My name is in him.
22. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
23. For My mal'ak shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24. Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
25. And ye shall serve YHWH 'Eloheykem, and He shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Yeshua bless your Bread and your Water, Warrior Friends …

Peace-Shalom
In Yeshua

Also, I understood by the Word that when "in a journey afar off" (as most of us are) the children of Israel are to keep the Passover in the second month, for such is the provision appointed in the Word of Torah, (and Torah and prophecy cannot be separated).

Numbers 9:9-11 KJV
9. And the L-rd spake unto Moses, saying,
10. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the L-rd.
11. The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

So also, as in the days of Hezekiah when the Temple was cleansed, sanctified, and rededicated, yet not all of the children of Israel were properly prepared or themselves sanctified: YHWH our Elohiym was, and is, and will be merciful, and He healed all of them which had willing hearts. And they kept the Passover the fourteenth day of the second month at evening, and the midst of the second month celebration of the second Feast of Unleavened Bread is 17 Iyyar, (2/17).

2 Chronicles 29:1-11 KJV
1. Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2. And he did that which was right in the sight of the L-rd, according to all that David his father had done.
3. He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the L-rd, and repaired them.
4. And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,
5. And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the L-rd G-d of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
6. For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the L-rd our G-d, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the L-rd, and turned their backs.
7. Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the G-d of Israel.
8. Wherefore the wrath of the L-rd was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
9. For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
10. Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the L-rd G-d of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
11. My sons, be not now negligent: for the L-rd hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.

2 Chronicles 29:35-36 KJV
35. And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the L-rd was set in order.
36. And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that G-d had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.

2 Chronicles 30:1-3 KJV
1. And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the L-rd at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the L-rd G-d of Israel.
2. For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
3. For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 30:10-20 KJV
10. So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
11. Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
12. Also in Judah the hand of G-d was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the L-rd.
13. And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14. And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
15. Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the L-rd.
16. And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of G-d: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
17. For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the L-rd.
18. For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good L-rd pardon every one
19. That prepareth his heart to seek G-d, the L-rd G-d of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20. And the L-rd hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

The cleansing of the entire house consisting of the Holy of Holies, the Sanctuary-Holy Place, and finally the Porch, (with the two witnesses represented by the two pillars "Boaz" and "Yachin" which stand continually before YHWH) all together represent "a Time, Times, and half a Time" ("mow`ed, mow`diym, chetsiy" Dan.12:7) or "an appointment, appointments (plural), and the half". The Sanctuary-Holy Place is the same Tabernacle of Meeting, or Tabernacle of the Congregation, ("ohel mow`ed" of Lev.16:16 and the Yom Kippur Atonement Ceremonies). The Wilderness Tabernacle and the Solomon (First) Temple with its 20x10 Porch dimensions portray a "Time, Times, and a Half" in their measurements and layouts. Thus the "shades of the commandments" are also the "signs of the times".

The Solomon Temple ~ Body of the Saints


The second month Passover-Unleavened Bread dates of 2/14-2/21 Hebrew Calendar, (and the midst of the Feast which is 2/17) portend the Genesis-Revelation "Flood Dates" that so many seem lately to have become entertained and enamoured about, (i.e. the ongoing 21May2011 prognostications) because they do not care to understand what was actually said, and so they take what parts they like from what was said, (mainly the dates) and smother the truth with a heaping continuous supply of their own vainglory: feigning a closeness to YHWH which they exhibit nowhere else in their prognostications.

Genesis 7:11 KJV
11. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Genesis 7:24 KJV
24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 8:3-4 KJV
3. And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

The Revelation 9 "Flood" is the same Five Months or 150 Days of Noah, (typologically 2/17-7/17). The time runs from the MIDST of the second Passover Feast of Unleavened Bread of the second month, (2/17 or 17 Iyyar) to the MIDST of the Feast of Sukkot-Tabernacles, (7/17 or 17 Tishri) and the dates run their course year by year, every year. However, Yeshua already fulfilled the final half of Sukkot-Tabernacles (Jn.Ch.7 quoted previously herein) and therefore what remains is the first half of the Week, the first three days of Sukkot-Tabernacles, (literal days) and a Hemi. However, each in his appointed time, and none shall be alone in his appointed times, and it is appointed unto men once to die and then the judgment, and each appointment is by lot, month in, month out.

Daniel 12:13 KJV
13. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot (HSN#1486) at the end of the days.

Strong's Ref. #1486
Romanized  gowral
Pronounced go-rawl'
or (shortened) goral {go-ral'}; from an unused root meaning to be rough (as stone); properly, a pebble, i.e. a lot (small stones being used for that purpose); figuratively, a portion or destiny (as if determined by lot):
KJV--lot.

Zechariah 14:1 KJV
1. Behold, the day of the L-rd cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided (HSN#2505) in the midst of thee.

Strong's Ref. #2505
Romanized  chalaq
Pronounced khaw-lak'
a primitive root; to be smooth (figuratively); by implication (as smooth stones were used for lots) to apportion or separate:
KJV--deal, distribute, divide, flatter, give, (have, im-)part(-ner), take away a portion, receive, separate self, (be) smooth(-er).

By lot then, (because we have free will) when the enemy comes in like a flood, even a "five month" flood: And the circumcision-atoning-cleansing of a son born into the kingdom is exacted by the High Priest Yeshua, even the very Finger of YHWH, and it so happens not according to the Genesis Revelation flood dates on the Hebrew calendar, but rather say for instance, it occurs in the eighth month of the Hebrew Calendar: Then the lot of the servitude of the newly born son, born in the eighth month, would fall under the deputyship of Sibbecai the Hushathite, (the same is Sibbechai which slew Sippai one of the sons of the Rapha at the battle of Gob or Gezer). Everything is cyclical, month to month, year in year out, and YHWH of armies has sent His Son Yeshua, the Prince of princes, haSar-sariym, the Captain of the host, to lead us into our place in the Kingdom by the Holy Ghost in his Word.

1 Chronicles 27:1-15 KJV
1. Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand.
2. Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.
3. Of the children of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.
