The Psalm Codes: End Times Calculations 2019 to 2026

Some prophecy researchers believe that the book of Psalms contains a date code that began in 1901 and continues to this year and will for future years. More specifically this theory states that at least one verse in each chapter of Psalms corresponds with a major event involving the Jewish nation in the year matching the Psalm number. For example; Psalm 1=1901, Psalm 2=1902,….Psalm 119=2019.

This theory was first put forth by J.R. Church in the 80s and has been endorsed by others as highlighted in the video below. Following the video, we will discuss the Psalm code theory and its implications in respect to end times calculations.

According to the video there seems to be a lot of past correlations, which I will not repeat here, but if this theory is valid, then right now we are in Psalm 119.

Psalm 119, which according to the theory would correspond to most of 2019, is the longest Psalm in the Bible. Psalm 119 is a Hebrew alphabetic acrostic Psalm and thus contains 22 parts with each part corresponding to one of the 22 Hebrew letters.

There are 22 chapters in Revelation and thus in that regards, 22 is a number associated with the end of the world. Let me also mention that the number 119 is a backwards 911. I will get back to 119/911 and Psalm 119 later on, but for now let me just say that Psalm 119 (2019) says to me; the beginning of the end times—the last 7 years. This will become more evident as we proceed.

The next Jewish year will start on Rosh Hashanah, which begins on the evening of 9/29/2019, and goes to Rosh Hashanah in 2020. And according to the theory that Jewish year would align with Psalm 120. Let’s take at look at Psalm 120 and see if anything stands out.

Psalm 120

1 In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

What does this Psalm say to you will occur in the Jewish year that coincides with 2019/20? To me it says; war and or its aftermath. With all the saber rattling going on in the Middle East right now it is easy to see that a Mid East war in the near future is a definite possibility. Now let’s look at Psalm 121, which would coincide with 2020/21.

Psalm 121

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

What does this Psalm say to you will occur in the Jewish year that coincides with 2020/21? To me it says; God’s protection in the midst of tribulations. My study of scripture has led me to believe that after the next Mid East war, that a great persecution will arise against Israel. And thus if war breaks out in 2019/20, it would stand to reason that 2020/21 would involve troubles for Jews and Christians who support them. Now let’s look at Psalm 122, which would coincide with 2021/22.

Psalm 122

1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

What does Psalm 122 say to you will occur in the Jewish year that coincides with 2021/22? To me it says; 3^rd Temple. The 3^rd Temple must be rebuilt before the midpoint of the last 7 years. Remember it is the antichrist that will perform the abomination of desolation near the midpoint in the 3^rd Temple. And here is the next Psalm, which would coincide with 2022/23.

Psalm 123

1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

What does Psalm 123 say to you will occur in the Jewish year that coincides with 2022/23? To me it says; longing for deliverance from persecution. Remember; after the abomination of desolation the antichrist will take over the world and bring about a great persecution against Jews and Christians. And here is the next Psalm, which would coincide with 2023/24

Psalm 124

1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

What does this Psalm say to you will occur in the Jewish year that coincides with 2023/24? To me it says; escape from persecution. Scripture does tell us that after the great persecution occurs, that the Jews will flee into the wilderness to escape. It is interesting to note that the Psalm speaks of a flood of water; in fact a literal flood of water will be released against Israel when she is fleeing. Now let’s look at Psalm 125, which would coincide with 2024/25.

Psalm 125

1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

What does this Psalm say to you will occur in the Jewish year that coincides with 2024/25? To me it says; God’s continued protection of Israel and God’s wrath to the wicked. After Israel flees into the wilderness God will protect them there, while at the same times God’s wrath will be poured out upon the wicked. Now let’s look at Psalm 126, which would coincide with 2025/26. 

Psalm 126

1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.

3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

What does this Psalm say to you will occur in the Jewish year that coincides with 2025/26? To me it says; God’s deliverance from the wicked and restoration. At the end of the last 7 years Jesus will return to the earth at the battle of Armageddon, deliver Israel, and bring restoration to the world via the Millennial kingdom.

Let’s sum it all up and compare it to the end times scenario presented in The Coming Epiphany and detailed in the post; Calculations for the "End of Days".

Psalm 119: 2018/19; the beginning of the end times—the last 7 years

Psalm 120: 2019/20; War and or its aftermath

Psalm 121: 2020/21; God’s protection in the midst of tribulations

Psalm 122: 2021/22; 3^rd Temple

Psalm 123: 2022/23; Longing for deliverance from persecution

Psalm 124: 2023/24; Escape from persecution

Psalm 125: 2024/25; God’s continued protection of Israel and God’s wrath to the wicked

Psalm 126: 2025/26; God’s deliverance from the wicked and restoration

The information presented in Chapter 12 of The Coming Epiphany suggests that the most likely end times scenario has the last 7 years beginning on 10/19/19 and ending in 2026 as indicated below.

Event	Day	Date
Beginning of 70th Week	1	Oct 19, 2019
Seals would start by	1139	Nov 30,2022
Abomination of Desolation	1230	Mar 1, 2023
Beginning of the rule of antichrist	1260	Mar 31, 2023
Rapture	?	?
Beginning of the bowl judgments	2490	Aug 12, 2026
Armageddon	2520	Sep 11, 2026
Beginning of the Millennium	2565	Oct 26, 2026

If this scenario is valid then we will see the end times—the last 7 years--begin on 10/19/2019 and end on 9/11/2026. This fits right in with Psalm 119 which in its 22 parts alludes to the beginning of the end times in 2019. Notice also the numbers 119/911, previously discussed, matches with 10/19 (119) and 9/11 (911) of the hypothesized beginning and ending dates. 

Further; according to this scenario we would see Seals 1 to 4 occur, the 3^rd Temple rebuilt, and the abomination of desolation to occur in the first half of the last 7 years, which would run from 10/19/2019 to 3/31/2023. This fits perfectly with Psalm 120 to 122, which indicates there will be war, tribulations and a 3^rd Temple.

At the midpoint the antichrist will take over the world, of which he will rule for the last 3.5 years, which according to our scenario runs from 3/31/2023 to 9/11/2026. After the midpoint is when Seal 5 is opened and the antichrist begins his war against Jews and Christians. After which they will flee as indicated in the passage below—take note in the verses below of the water/flood which was mentioned above in regards to Psalm 124 (2023/24), which fits perfectly into our scenario of when Israel would flee—sometime after 3/31/2023.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev 12

At an unknown time during the last half of the 7 years, which again, according to the most likely scenario runs from 3/31/2023 to 9/11/2026, Seal 6 is opened and Christians will be delivered from the persecution of the antichrist via the rapture.

After the rapture the wrath of God will be poured out upon the world. Deliverance of the just and wrath to the wicked, is indicated in Psalm 125. Which again fits perfectly into to our most likely end times scenario for 2024/25.

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6

After the wrath of God is poured out upon the world, which spans from Seal 6 to Vial 7 and culminates in the battle of Armageddon, satan will be defeated, the Jews will be delivered, and restoration will be brought about in the Millennium. Our most likely scenario has Armageddon occurring in the fall of 2026, which fits perfectly with Psalm 126 (2025/26).

In comparing our most likely scenario with the Psalm Code data, we can see that it is a match! Thus the theory that the Psalms correspond to years beginning with 1901 appears to provide another confirmation of the most likely end times scenario presented in The Coming Epiphany—the last 7 years beginning on 10/19/2019. I would be interested in hearing what you think about all of this in the comments below.

Of course we can never know for sure about the timing of the end times until we start to see the prophecies of Revelation fulfilled. But a more important consideration is; are you ready for the end times? For they will one day be here and by what I see happening in the world—it will be soon.

Are you preparing to go through Seals 1 to 4—war, economic collapse, pandemics, and a breakdown of society? Are you preparing to live without being able to buy or sell (Seal 5)? Or in other words; are you preparing for the end times? For it is clearly taught in scripture that the rapture will not happen until Seal 6. Are you preparing?

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Not sure that you will go to heaven? The end times are knocking on the door and so is Jesus. He wants to save you, will you let him in? Find out what you must do to be saved, click here.
