One is more convinced that the Rapture Timing is best associated and perhaps expectant around the Wheat Harvest in July, of a given Year. What is mainly one’s Theory on how the New Wine association to the Pentecost of Acts 2 in being considered to correspond to when the Church Age began and perhaps when it will end. It is based on this Prophetic Pattern, but highly contested due to nearly 2000 Years of Church Teaching and Tradition. It is how the Jews call Shavuot in June is what the Christians call Pentecost.
One is more convinced that the Passage in Leviticus 23 renders an Alternative Day Count that ascribes an additional 50 Days after the 7 Sabbaths. That is all. And by so doing, the Time when ‘Pentecost fully comes’ is not on the 1st 50 Day Count that lands on the Feast of the First Fruits of the New Wheat at the beginning of June, but rather on the Feast of New Wine in Mid-July, etc. However, there is still an issue in this New Wine – Pentecost Theory. Of those that have considered this New Understanding of Pentecost, it is being conflicted with the 9th of Av Date destruction of the Temples. And?
That Event occurs in the 5th Jewish Month of Av. The Discrepancy stems from when the Day Count from the Passover Passion Week occurs and is prescribed. It is to be from the ‘Day after the Sabbath’. Yes, but which Sabbath? The Weekly Sabbath or can it be a ‘High Day’ Sabbath? This is what is subject to Interpretations based on counting from the Day after the Sabbath. One Interpretation is considering that it means to count from the Weekly Sabbath. This is called counting ‘Complete Sabbaths’, etc. Or is it the Day after Passover, from Nisan 15? Why, if Passover is not a Sabbath? On the contrary.
So, how to know when to start the Day Count to determine the ‘Correct’ Timing of the True Pentecost of Acts 2 and its ‘New Wine’ Association? It does depend on the Start Date of when one interprets the Day Count of the 1st 7 Weeks is to begin. One’s Point is that Passover is considered a Sabbath. It is a Special Annual Holy Day that could fall on any Day of the Week. See Leviticus 23:4–7. Based on one’s Exodus Timeline, the 9th of Av is not when Pentecost occurred, nor on the New Wine Feast correspondence.
The ‘New Wine’ Realization one associates with the Pentecost of Acts 2, is that there were 3 Shavuots of 50 Days from the Counting of the Omer, i.e., Nisan 15. This comes from a reinterpretation of Leviticus and then corroborated by the Temple Scrolls of the Essenes, etc. However, the 9th of Av is not what occurred on the Day of the Golden Calf Incident. Consider the Math. If one uses the Day after the Weekly Sabbath from the Passover, then the Start of the Day Count always has to occur on a Sunday, regardless.
Passover is a Sabbath
However, if Passover occurs on a Sunday, this means then that if one subscribes to having the Start Date occur on a Complete Sabbath Cycle, one would have to wait a whole Week to start on a Complete Sabbath Day Count. This does not make sense. One is more convinced that the ‘Correct’ start of the Day Count would be in-sync if one uses the Counting of the Omer from Nisan 15 because Passover is itself a Sabbath Day of Rest. As noted, this Interpretation is based on the Exodus Timeline.
If that is the case, consider the following Day Count from a Nisan 14 or April 14 Passover Date Scenario. To a large degree, determining the 1st Month is based on the Spring Equinox. In Ancient Times, it was considered the 1st Day of the Astronomical Year, etc. But the Day of the Week has experienced ‘Drag’ over Millennia, due to the Precession of the Equinoxes. Thus, March 20-21 was when the Spring Planting began. In the case of Israel, it was of the Barley.
April 15 Start of Omer Count
+99 Days (49+50) Leviticus 23 Alternate Day Count to determine Pentecost of Acts 2
= July 23 (Not in August, which is the Month of Av.)
So, some Numbers to consider regarding the Harvest Types: Barley, Wheat, Wine, Oil, etc. As of this Present Age, from the Spring Equinox of March 21-22 to the Summer Solstice of June 21 is exactly 90 Days. But it is ~120 Day or 4 Times of 30 Days to one’s July 23 Pentecost New Wine Date Theory. And? Perhaps that Anniversary is or will be the possible Rapture Timing, in a given Year. But as mentioned before, perhaps it was at this Time, during the Spring Equinox, that Jesus said those Words about being ‘4 Months and then the Harvest’.
For example, there is that Interpretation in Genesis of how YHVH decreed 120 Years that a Man’s Lifespan would be. Some Bible Students surmise that there is a multifaceted layer of Meaning in this account, as most Biblical Prophecy is layered with. Did YHVH mean that Man’s Lifespan would be reduced to an average of 120 Years to live and then die? Or was it 120 Prophetic Years, to insinuate Jubilee Years. How so? Consider that if one uses the 50+50+50 Pentecost Template, the Year Counting Interpretation would define what a Jubilee is, then the following.
120 Jubilees x 50 Years = 6000 Years
So, was YHVH delineating the entire 7000-Year Dispensation of Human History in how He was putting Mankind on Notice, that it will only be 6000 Years that YHVH will allow Humans to rule Earth? It would mesh with the Creation Week Template in how when Jesus returns, the Sabbath Week or 1000 Year Millennial Kingdom will be ruled by Him alone. This Interpretation would also mesh with how the Church Age is about to end, as it has lasted nearly 2000 Years by 2032, having 7 Years short of its ‘2 Day’ Prophetic Correlation. As it is, the Ages Past have been now accounted for.
Age of Innocence Adam to Noah Day 1
Age of Government Noah to Moses Day 2
Age of Law Moses to Jesus Day 3, 4
Age of Grace Jesus to AntiChrist Day 5, 6
Age of Rest Return of Jesus Day 7
If one were to stretch-out these Ages on a Timeline, the Age of the Law and the Age of Grace, i.e., the Church Age would be in approximate Phi Ratio Proportions to the Age of Adam and the Return of the Last Adam, Jesus. So, as a Summary, one has done Research on the New Wine Theory for Years and was one of the 1st to introduce the Notion, corresponding to the Pentecost of Acts 2, and the Crucifixion Year being 32 AD, etc. It is about the Day Count for determining how the Pentecost Day of Acts 2 is not on the 9th of Av.
One argues and shows Evidence that it corresponds to a July 23 Date and how it corresponds to the Feast of New Wine. One is basing the New Wine based off of the Exodus Timeline, etc. It has been an effort to help the Brethren understand where this ‘New Wine’ Theory is coming from and its potential Prophetic Significance in light of the Rapture’s Timing. If 32 AD was the Crucifixion Year, then surely 2025 would be calculated to be the Year that the Church Age ends, and that is exciting as we are entering the ‘Rapture Zone’.
If Prophecy is Pattern, it is why then one surmises that there is actually a present ‘Pentecostal Intermission’, that one calls, between the 69th and the 70th Week. The Acts 2 Pentecost Event is in-play and defines the Age of Grace of the Church. It is about a Commission. It is to conclude 1 Day. And that Day is what one surmises coincides with the Feast of New Wine and perhaps the Rapture Event that will conclude it.
Pentecost has been the Present Age wherein the Bride Jesus has been ‘Constructing’ will have been completed. What Year though? One considers that the start of the 70th Week of Daniel is to commence soon after the Church Age ends. Perhaps it will be within that very same Year. But one’s Calculation of the Fall 2025 being the Start of the 7-Year Tribulation has been derived from the Crucifixion Year. And that has been another contentious Theory that asserts occurred in 32 AD, primarily, in one’s Research.
It has come about from Circumstantial Evidence that involves Scriptural, Historical and Astronomical Factors, which most reject, etc. Nonetheless, if that is the case of how 1 Year = 1000 Years Prophetically, then from the 32 AD Crucifixion to 2032 is ‘2 Days’ or 2000 Years, precisely. Then, if one then just factors-out the 7-Year Sabbath that Israel still owes YHVH for the Promised Land, then the Pivotal Year is 2025. It will remain to be tested and seen.
