A New Dollar Code Date; 69 and September 23, 2023 Updated 2X; We May Have Gotten the Event

 

Update at end of post

Just found another possible date encoding involving the dollar code calculation—September 23, 2023! I don’t know how I missed this—I have been super busy and got hit with what I believe was COVID a few weeks ago which wiped me out for about 2 to 3 weeks. But anyway, here is the data. 

As most of you are aware there is a lot of chatter about the possibility of a large event occurring on September 22-23, 2023. See the post; Prophecy Watch September 2023; What’s Going to Happen? Updated. 

Those you of who have followed this blog know about the coded information on the dollar bill that God allowed me to discover years ago and that is the subject of the book, The Dollar Code. One of the discoveries involved a calculation using encoded numbers from the dollar bill. Here are a couple of examples.

 

The Venus Occultation Sign of the False Messiah

19.471 x 12.322 = 239.921662 = 239 years and 337 days

July 4, 1776 + 239 years and 337 days = June 6, 2016

The esoteric significance of those numbers has already been discussed except for the 322—it is the illuminati skull and bones death number—enough said.

So, there it is, another piece of evidence pointing to the importance of the date of 6/6/2016 and the Venus occultation sign of the false messiah…

 

The Sign of the Woman Clothed with the Sun

19.471 x 12.3889 = 241.2242 = 241 yrs and 81 days

7/4/1776 + 241 yrs and 81 days = September 23, 2017

The tenth date cipher was found by taking the more exact esoteric number of 19.471 and multiplying it by 12 plus .3889 (38.89 is the latitude of Washington D.C.) This yields 241.2242, which equals 241 yrs and 81 days. And what happened on 9/23/2017? It was the date of the sign of woman clothed with the sun.

 

Biden Defeats Trump

12.55 x 19.47 = 244.3485 = 244 years and 127 days 

July 4, 1776 + 244 years and 127 days = November 8, 2020. (Note: 55 is the double death number.)

 

And what happened on 11/8/2020? Biden defeats Trump in presidential election…

 

The COVID  Shot

12.555 x 19.471 = 244.458405 = 244 and 167 days 

July 4, 1776 + 244 years and 167 days = December 14, 2020. (Note: 555 is the triple death number.) 

And what happened on 12/14/2020? That was the first day a COVID shot was given.

 

So, basically the calculation takes the sum of the number 12 (levels of the pyramid) and various esoteric numbers multiplied by the dollar bill encoded esoteric number 19.47 or the more exact 19.471.

 

As shown above, these calculations have yielded many dates of prophetically important events. The thought came to my mind yesterday to check the dollar code calculation to see if September 23, 2023, is encoded—it is!

 

19.471 x 12.696969 = 247.223 years = 247 years and 81 days 

July 4, 1776 + 247 years and 81 days brings us to September 23, 2023

 

Now, you may be wondering about the esoteric significance of the number 69. Check this out. 

I think you will be amazed at how the number 69 has been used, and what it represents to the “enlightened ones” who are planning a New World Order for their “supernatural world leader”! 

SEXUAL UNION WORSHIPED 

Just as the Washington Monument (Phallus) inside the circle represents sexual union in the place of dead spirits (hell), the number 69 is representative of the exact same thing as well.  The overall plan of Satan is to bring WORLD UNION to all nations under a New Global World Government over which his “chosen one” will rule.  The number “69” and its usage is very evident in Satan’s plan to accomplish this very thing right in plain view of all with “eyes to see”… 

What does the New World Order under the coming Antichrist/Lucifer have to do with this number?  Everything!  We are talking about “numerical rituals” being performed to usher in the “Coming Forth By Day” of Antichrist/Lucifer.

It is easy to see that the number 69 from occult significance deals with the bringing forth of the coming antichrist and his kingdom. And let’s look at what Bullinger has to say about the Biblical significance of 6 and 9. 

Six: Six is either 4 plus 2, i.e., man's world (4) with man's enmity to God (2) brought in: or it is 5 plus 1, the grace of God made of none effect by man's addition to it, or perversion, or corruption of it: or it is 7 minus 1, i.e., man's coming short of spiritual perfection. In any case, therefore, it has to do with man; it is the number of imperfection; the human number; the number of MAN as destitute of God, without God, without Christ. 

Nine: It is the last of the digits, and thus marks the end; and is significant of the conclusion of a matter.

It is akin to the number six, six being the sum of its factors (3x3=9, and 3+3=6), and is thus significant of the end of man, and the summation of all man's works. Nine is, therefore, 

THE NUMBER OF FINALITY OR JUDGMENT, 

for judgment is committed unto Jesus as "the Son of man" (John 5:27; Acts 17:31). It marks the completeness, the end and issue of all things as to man—the judgment of man and all his works. 

It is a factor of 666, which is 9 times 74. 

The gematria of the word "Dan," which means a judge, is 54 (9x6). 

"th orgh mou" (tee orgee mou), my wrath, = 999 (Heb 3:11). 

The solemn amhn (ameen), amen, or "verily," of our Lord, amounts also to 99, summing up and ending His words. 

The sum of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet is 4995 (5x999). It is stamped, therefore, with the numbers of grace and finality. 

The sum of the Greek alphabet is 3999. 

Source: https://levendwater.org/books/numbers/frameset.htm?index.html&inhoudsopgave.htm 

 

Putting the two Biblical meanings of 6 and 9 together speaks of the judgment of men destitute of God brought about by their rejection of Jesus. Isn’t that what a lot of the end times is all about? 

Is the dollar code signaling that September 23, 2023, will be the day of a major event? And if so, will a great judgment fall upon the world for continual rejection of Jesus and its sin? And or will this day involve an event leading to the ushering in of the antichrist and his kingdom, which the times are ripe for? 

Of course, we know that no one knows the future but God and what He has revealed in His Word. Whether or not anything or not happens on September 23, 2023, is yet to be seen, but there seems to be a lot of data indicating that as a possibility, and this possible new dollar code date adds to the syncs. That is why we watch. 

BTW: here is something else to watch. I just checked the long-range forecast, and it is showing a hurricane hitting the east coast USA around October 3 or 4, 2023.

 

At present there is a small tropical storm that may form this weekend off the East coast USA and if so, it would be named Ophelia, which means ‘help.’ If that is the case then the next storm would be named Phillippe, which means ‘lover of horses.’ 

So, if the models prove correct then the East Coast USA may be faced with hurricane Phillippe around October 3 or 4, 2023. Of course, as you know the models change—every 6 hours—and this storm may never develop and even if it does it may take a different track entirely. Round and round it goes where it ends up only God knows. 

But in light of the prophetic times that we are living in I find it ironic that the storm may be named Phillippe ‘lover of horses.’ And if so, will this be a sign that the four horses of Revelation are galloping throughout the earth and that this storm will add to the destruction that the horses will bring? 

Update: Looks like we may have gotten our major event that we were looking for. As reported by Hal Turner

This is FLASH TRAFFIC: It appears World War 3 has officially begun.  Saturday morning the Russian Army engaged a German-supplied Leopard Tank operating for the Ukraine army in Zaporozhye.  The Russians hit the tank with an anti-tank guided missile. The tank blew up.  The tank crew evacuated and were captured.  The crew identified themselves as ACTIVE DUTY GERMAN ARMY TROOPS...

Details are emerging.  It is now CONFIRMED a Russian Army reconnaissance team destroyed a German-supplied Leopard tank of the Ukrainian military but manned with a crew comprised of Bunderswehr soldiers.   The Bunderswehr is the actual active duty Army of Germany.

So, this is a major escalation in WW3 that I believed started on 2/22/2022. This was one of the things that was mentioned in the last post as a possibility of occurring. Thus, it looks like we may have gotten our event. Remember that WW3 will eventually produce the antichrist.

Now the question is; how will Russia respond?

I cannot vow for the validity of this clip but this is another possibility for an 9/23/23 antichrist related event.

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

Darkness and the Rapture

 

Will the rapture be accompanied by darkness? That is an interesting question that bears considering. I was sent this video the other day, (HT Karen) it details several dreams about the rapture that also includes accounts of darkness accompanying the rapture. 

 

So, what do we make of this, will the rapture be accompanied by darkness? I answering this question we must remember that dreams must be evaluated in light of scripture—God’s Word is supreme. 

Does scripture say that the rapture will be accompanied by darkness? YES absolutely! Consider how this passage lines up with what people saw in their dreams. 

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 6:12-17 

Sixth seal opened—darkness—Jesus is seen in the sky—God’s wrath begins. There are only 2 times when Jesus is seen during the last 7 years, at the rapture and at Armageddon. The sixth seal is not Armageddon, thus it must be the rapture. 

There are other scriptures that associate darkness with the rapture/the Day of the Lord. 

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 1 Thes 5:1-6 

What event comes as a thief in the night? The rapture—that passage is all about the rapture, and they call it the Day of the Lord. And where is the darkness? 

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: Acts 2:20 

There it is darkness and then the Day of the Lord/the rapture. 

It kind of amazes me that all of those people can have those dreams that associate the rapture with darkness and then fail to search the scriptures to see when in the end times does the darkness occur. The scriptures clearly show that the darkness and the rapture do not occur until after seal 6 has been opened. And these dreams confirm this fact and repudiate the pre-trib rapture theory. 

Seal 6 opened—sun darkened—rapture and these dreams are a confirmation of this fact. 

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

Here Comes the Great Falling Away!

If you are a regular reader of this blog you know that I have been warning for many years that there is a great end times deception coming that will involve UFOs, and will precipitate the great falling away. God tells us that this falling away is part of the events that will lead up to the coming of the antichrist.

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thes 1-3.

Here is a previous post about the coming UFO deception.

Pastors; Please Warn Your Flock About The Coming UFO ET Deception

You are probably aware that the UFO phenomenon is growing in intensity every day. So much so that even mainstream media and the government are even talking about it. For instance look at this article that popped up the other day. 

Aliens, flying discs and sightings -- oh my! A short history of UFOs in America 

The US Navy just acknowledged that three clips of declassified military footage released between 2017 and 2018 are actually "unidentified aerial phenomena" -- their words, not ours…


Throughout my life I have had occasion to visit many different churches and have listened to many sermons. Guess how many sermons I have heard about UFOs? ZERO!

So let’s reason this out; there is coming a day in the near future when ETs will be officially disclosed, spaceships and aliens will be shown in the news, and governments will admit that they are in contact with outer space aliens. I would not be surprised to even see alien spaceships on the lawn of the White House.

The aliens will come to “save” our planet from its many problems that are soon to grow in intensity and scope. The ETs will claim to be our god—the ones that started life on earth—and are our creators. They will tell the world that they are also the ones that created the various religions to help “keep the masses in control.” They will further claim that Jesus was an alien and that is why He could do miraculous things, and they will even do miraculous things themselves to attempt to prove what they are saying.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor 11:14

They will unite all the religions into a one world religion, unite the governments into a one world system, and create a one world economic system that will require a “mark.” No one will be able to buy or sell without their “mark.”

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13: 16,17

Does that sound like a fairy tale? It might to some of you, but that is what is going to happen and more. These events which can be put under the general category of great signs from heaven are alluded to many times in scripture.

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:11

Pastors how do you think the average person in your congregation will react to all of this? Are they going to believe the aliens? Will they lose their faith when they see spaceships on the news with supposed space visitors coming out and proclaiming that they are our god?

Unfortunately I believe that the official disclosure of aliens to the world and the ensuing communications with them will precipitate the great falling away.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thes 2:3

Pastors it is your job to educate your flock as to the major UFO ET deception that is coming. And it is coming, and it may be very soon.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:.. Hos 4:6

And how do we disprove this whole nonsensical notion of ETs? As I said earlier UFOs and aliens claim that they started life on earth and in essence are saying that they are our creator. No doubt we will hear this more and more as the end draws near when the greatest deception of all mankind is unleashed upon the earth. And this deception will no doubt be heralded by the greatest deceiver of all time—the antichrist. 

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2 Thes 2:9

How do we know that such claims are false and that there truly is a God who created us? On the surface their claims seem very credible because after all they can fly around in spaceships, can use telepathy, have great intelligence, and are so much greater than us poor mortals (Did you catch the sarcasm?). So naturally we should believe whatever these UFO aliens tell us, right? Ha, Ha, not hardly.

Let’s reason this out. Where did they come from? Who made them? Some may say that they evolved just like us, but they evolved to a higher degree. OK, even though evilution is a false theory, for arguments sake I would say; where did the stuff come from for anything to evolve from? 

Some may say from the Big Bang. OK again for arguments sake I would say; where did the stuff come from to cause the Big Bang? Some may say, well it was just always there. So I would say OK you admit the existence of something that was always there, thus if it was always there, then it had no beginning. Well that is exactly who God is; He is the beginning force, the one who had no beginning, the one who existed before all time and will always exist in the future—the beginning. God is the beginning.

In fact that is the first thing that God reveals to us about Himself in the Bible. In Gen 1:1 He says “In the beginning God…” The mere fact that we and the world around us exist demands that there had to be a beginning. The beginning force has revealed Himself to us as God the Father, God the Son—the Lord Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit. And the creator God loved us so much that he sent His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to die for our sins. He also left us with His Holy Word the Bible so that we can know the truth about Him and what He requires of us.

So who are the UFO ET aliens? They are none other than the fallen angels and their spawn. Their leader is the devil himself. Yes they have great knowledge, yes they can do extraordinary things, and yes they can fly around in spaceships. But they are not who they say that they are, they are nothing more than demons of the underworld trying to deceive as many people as they can to bring them into Hell. Even the smell of sulfur that they omit is a clear give away of their infernal nature. If you ever see one, just rebuke it in the name and through the blood of Jesus Christ and watch it flee!

Oh by the way, I do believe in the Big Bang; God said it and BANG it happened!

Jeremiah 10 fits in nicely with the discussion above.

1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them…

10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 

11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 

12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 

13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.


The ET deception is here and growing in intensity and will soon be mainstream. Pastors please warn your flock before it is too late. 

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.

The Date of the Crucifixion--33 A.D.

One of the most debated topics involving Biblical chronologies has been the dating of the crucifixion of Jesus. The date of His crucifixion was foretold in Daniel  9:25,26 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, These passages tell us that Jesus the Messiah would be "cut off" or crucified after 69 weeks of time. What year was that?

Many have put forth various dates too numerous to mention ranging from the late 20s to the late 30s A.D. Without going into detail if one considers the decree of Artaxerxes which most place in either 444 or 445 B.C.--which is discussed in The Coming Epiphany--the accepted range for the birth of Christ, that He started his ministry when He was about 30, and the approximately 3½ year ministry of Christ, the only 2 years that are possible for the crucifixion are 32 and 33 A.D. The facts will tell us which date is the correct one.

The first issue that we must address is that some of the Biblical data concerning the timing of events surrounding the crucifixion and for that matter the resurrection seem to be in contradiction. For example in Mt 28:1 it says “In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.” This verse indicates that Mary came to the tomb on the Sabbath or Saturday and thus Jesus rose from the dead on a Saturday. But in John 20:1 it says “The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.” This verse indicates that Mary came to the tomb on a Sunday and that Jesus could also have arisen on a Sunday. So we see that on the one hand the Matthew passage seems to indicate that Jesus rose from the dead on Saturday while the Mark passage seems to indicate that Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday. So there seems to be a contradiction.

I assure you that there is no contradiction or error in the passages and that there is a logical explanation to the apparent contradiction. The explanation that reconciles both of these passages has to do with the different chronological methods used to mark the start of a day. Galileans started their day at sunrise and the Jews in Jerusalem started their day at sunset.[1] Matthew, Mark and Luke were written using Galilean timing and John was written using Judean timing. Thus in the John passage above the first day of the week started at sundown and the following sunrise is when the day started in the Matthew passage. Mary came to the tomb just at the start of dawn just before sunrise, so in the Matthew passage which was written in reference to Galilean timing it was still Saturday because Sunday did not begin until sunrise and in the John passage, written in reference to Judean timing it was already Sunday because Sunday had started at sunset the day before. Thus one can readily see how these passages are reconciled.

This dual timing is evident in other passages in the gospels also. Matthew 26:17-20 says; “Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? 18. And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. 20. Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. This passage indicates that Jesus and His disciples would eat and celebrate the Passover during what we know as the last supper. Now look what Jn 18:28 says: “Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.” And Jn 19:14 says “And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!” These verses in John indicate that the Passover had not yet occurred at the time of the trial of Jesus. So how could Jesus have eaten the Passover with his disciples as indicated in the Matthew passage and yet the Sadducees had not yet celebrated the Passover?

The answer is, as we have already seen, that the two groups used a different time reckoning. Thus the Galileans celebrated the Passover the day before the Judeans.[2] The Galileans day had started at sunrise and thus they would celebrate their feast that night. The Judeans, on the other hand, started their day at sunset and thus the Passover would not be celebrated until the next day. For a more extensive examination of the chronology of the Passion Week I would recommend reading Hoehner’s excellent and scholarly work, Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ.

The reason for going over this information is that I wanted to establish the fact that Jesus was crucified on Nisan 14, the day of the Judean Passover. “Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the Passover.” Jn 18:28. This verse makes it clear that Jesus was crucified on the day of the Judean Passover. The day of Passover was always on Nisan 14. Thus Jesus was crucified on Nisan 14 (Judean timing).

As a matter of fact we also know the time of the crucifixion. We know from Mk 15:25 that the crucifixion began at the third hour, which was about 9 A.M. “And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.” And it continued to the ninth hour, which is about 3 P.M. “And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.” Mk 15:33. We also know that Jesus died at about 3 P.M. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 35. And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 36. And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. 37. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. Mk 15:34-37.

On Passover day, Nisan 14, between 3-5 P.M. is the traditional time that observant Jews would sacrifice the Passover lamb for the feast of Passover. Thus the time of the death of Christ coincided exactly with when the Passover lambs were slain. That speaks beautifully to the fact that Christ is our Passover lamb. “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us” (I Cor 5:7) These passages lead us to emphatically conclude that Jesus was crucified on Nisan 14, the day of the Judean Passover.

The next premise that we will establish is that Jesus was crucified the day before a Sabbath. In other words that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. It is quite evident that the day of the crucifixion was on a Friday. Several passages point this out. “And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,” (Mk 15:42) And yet another one; “And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 54. And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55. And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.” Luke 23:53-56.

The Sabbath was held on the last day of the week, which in Jerusalem the Sabbath ran from sundown, on what we call Friday to sundown on what we call Saturday. As we can see both passages indicate that Jesus was crucified on the day before the Sabbath. Thus He was crucified on a Friday. Some claim that the Sabbath talked about in these verses refers to a feast day, which were also considered Sabbaths. Thus they assert that Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday in 32 A.D., the day before Passover, which was a Sabbath with Passover being on Thursday. This is cannot be true. The reason that it is false is as follows; For the two years in question 32 and 33 A.D. we can examine the new moon data to see when the month Nisan started and then determine what day Nisan 14, Passover, fell on. The U.S. Naval Observatory had the new moon data listed for the years in question on their website. The data for the two years in question are as follows;


Year           Calculated Zero: (Julian)         (Gregorian)

32 A.D.                3/29 8 P.M.                 3/27 8 P.M.
33 A.D                3/21 10 A.M                3/19 10 A.M.

The dates and times above are for the calculated exact time of the new moon. The data on the website is given in Julian dates; I have converted them to Gregorian as listed above. All modern day dating is in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. But these dates are not the dates for the beginning of the month Nisan, but for the zero point of the new moon. Remember a Hebrew month did not start until the sighting of the crescent moon. Scientists have calculated that the new moon must be at least 11 degrees above the horizon to be visible in Jerusalem. Fotheringham calculated the time of the sighting of the crescent moon as listed below under Calc. Observed. He originally calculated the times in Julian; I have converted them to Gregorian. Thus, as indicated, if the crescent moon was observed at sunset, the next day, would be Nisan 1. I have also calculated Nisan 14 based on the Nisan 1 date.

33 A.D.           3/17 10 AM                3/18                     3/19            4/1 (Friday)

(ALL DATES ARE GREGORIAN)

In the Gregorian calendar, which all dates above are in, Passover, which always occurs on Nisan 14, in 32 A.D. was on April 12, which was on a Monday, and in 33 A.D. it was on April 1, which was on a Friday. Thus it is readily seen that 32 A.D. cannot be a possible date for the crucifixion. There is no way to reconcile a Monday crucifixion with clear Biblical facts about the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ which place his resurrection as occurring on the first day of the week, Sunday. Those who claim that Nisan 14 was on a Wednesday in 32 A.D. have failed to take into account the Julian to Gregorian conversion and have transposed a Julian date onto a Gregorian calendar and have come up with the wrong day of the week.

Thus with the 32 A.D. date eliminated we can conclude that Christ was crucified on Passover on Friday April 1, 33 A.D.

Some say that Christ could not be crucified on a Friday because of Mt 12:40 which says; “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” They contend that Christ could not have been crucified on a Friday and still meet the qualifications for this verse because Friday would not have left enough time for the three days and nights. However I assert that yes Christ was dead for three days and nights, and I also assert that He was crucified on a Friday. This apparent contradiction is easily reconciled when you consider two facts. First, in Hebrew counting any part of a day is counted as a whole day. This is called inclusive reckoning. Thus the three days and three nights do not necessarily refer to 3 entire days consisting of 72 hours, though it could. But the term three days and three nights can refer to parts of three days and nights.

The second fact that we need to consider is the astronomical events that took place at the time of the crucifixion. What I am specifically referring to is recorded several times in the New Testament. “Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.” (Mt 27:45). “And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.” (Mk 15:33). It is clear from these accounts that darkness was over all the land from about noon to 3 P.M. We know that a solar eclipse with the moon did not cause the darkness, because at the time of Passover there is always a full moon and you cannot have a solar eclipse at the time of a full moon. Also from lunar data, which is also listed on the Naval observatory site, we know that on April 1, 33 A.D. there was a lunar eclipse. You cannot have a lunar eclipse and solar eclipse by the moon on the same day. So what caused this darkness?

I believe that this darkness was caused by the sun actually setting, which was probably caused by a geo physical pole shift. There are several reasons why I believe this. One of the main reasons concerns the fact that the lunar eclipse that occurred on that day was recorded as being fully observed. Peter makes mention of this fact in Acts 2:20 “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.” Here Peter implies that miraculously the moon was already turned to blood and the sun darkened at the time of the crucifixion. Also the historical letter of The Report of Pontius Pilate, Governor of Judea, Which Was Sent to Tiberius Caesar in Rome record the full observance of a blood red moon, which occurs when the moon is eclipsed. “Now when he was crucified, darkness came over all the world, And the moon, which was like blood, did not shine all night long, although it was at the full.”

However lunar data tells us that the lunar eclipse should not have been fully observable in Jerusalem on that day. “On Friday 3rd (Passover) AD 33 [April 1 Gregorian] there was a partial lunar eclipse. It commenced, at 15h 40m local time in Jerusalem, and terminated at 18h 31m local time in Jerusalem. In normal circumstances this eclipse would not have been visible in Jerusalem at the time when it actually began, but the last traces of the eclipse would have been visible for about half an hour.[3]

The only way for Peter and others to have observed a full blood moon lunar eclipse was for a pole shift to have occurred. Another reason why it is believed that a pole shift occurred on that day was because of the worldwide shaking of the earth. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. (Mt 27:50-54).

Historians also tell us that earthquakes were recorded in many other parts of the world at that time.[4] The historical account of The Report of Pilate the Governor says this And amid this terror the dead appeared rising again, as the Jews themselves bore witness and said that it was Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the twelve patriarchs, and Moses and Job, who had died before, as they say, some three thousand five hundred years. And there were very many whom I myself saw appearing in the body, and they made lamentation over the Jews, because of the transgression which was committed by them, and because of the destruction of the Jews and of their law. The terror of the earthquake continued from the sixth hour of the preparation until the ninth hour.

It is theorized that earthquakes occur during a pole shift. There is evidence that throughout the history of the world the earth has undergone pole shifts. Even Einstein promoted this theory. Many believe a pole shift occurred at the time of the crucifixion and caused the darkness and the other anomalies that occurred from the 6th to 9th hour. Isn't this what Amos 8:9 tells us happened? And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

So if the darkness was caused by a pole shift then the sun would have actually went down and then after the darkness it would have rose again. That is why it was dark enough that the stars could be seen.[5] ( I recommend reading the fascinating article (pdf) "The Catastrope of the Crucifixion") So literally the day of the crucifixion was a day of 2 nights. Therefore since Jesus was dead for part of that “darkness” it can be counted as the first night, then there was light for the about 3 hours between 3 P.M. and 6 P.M., that was the first day. The second night then ensued with the setting of the sun and then the second day followed the next morning. The second night and day was the Sabbath. Then the third night and then Jesus arose just after sunrise on the third day, which was Sunday morning. Thus we have 3 days and 3 nights in which Christ was dead. Please see the chart entitled The 3 days and 3 Nights above for a pictorial representation of the data.

There are many other supporting facts from history, which also support a Friday April 1, 33 A.D. crucifixion. Much supporting data comes from historian’s accounts of the crucifixion. Their accounts also support a 33 A.D. crucifixion and refer to other phenomena that occurred at the time of Christ’s passion. The Epistle of Pontius Pilate, which is a letter from Pilate to Tiberius Caesar. In the letter Pilate states that Jesus had been crucified. The date given at the end of the letter is “The 5th of the Calends of April.” Thus this letter indicates that Jesus was crucified before April 5th. If this letter is to be regarded as authentic then it would also eliminate 32 A.D. as the date of the crucifixion because Passover was on April 12 in 32 A.D. This letter is part of the Apocrypha, which has not been accepted as canonical, but has been regarded as containing trustworthy historical information. The manuscript is owned by the British museum, they deem it as authentic.

Another reason some say that the crucifixion cannot be in 33 A.D. is because of what Luke 3:1-3 says; Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2. Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3. And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

This passage cites the start of John the Baptistï’s ministry in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius. When was the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius? We know for certain that Caesar Augustus died on August 19, 14 A.D.; that is when the reign of Tiberius began. There are different methods for the reckoning of the years of a king’s reign. Using the accession-year system August 19 to December 31, 14 AD is considered the accession year and is not counted and then January 1 to December 31, 15 AD is considered Tiberius’ first year of reign. Thus the fifteenth year would have been from January 1 to December 31, 29 AD. Using the regnal year method then Tiberius’ fifteenth year would have been from August 19, 28 AD to August 18, 29 AD. Taking both of these methods into account would yield Tiberius’ fifteenth year, and the start of John’s ministry to be between August 19, 28 AD and December 31, 29 AD. If you take into account that Jesus did not start his ministry at the same time as John, because John had already gathered a large following by the time Jesus started His ministry, but several months thereafter, and that the ministry of Jesus began in the fall, because half a year before Passover brings you to the fall; then you would have to conclude that Christ began His ministry in the fall of 29 A.D. With a 3.5 year ministry of Christ, that would bring you to the spring of 33 A.D. for the year of the crucifixion. The only way that you could come up with 32 A.D. as the year of the crucifixion was if you used the regnal method and had Christ begin his ministry about 1 month after John started his, which I do not think was likely. Therefore to cite Luke 3:1-3 as conclusive evidence that Christ was crucified in 32 A.D. is not correct. I agree that it allows for that hypothesis but it more likely points to 33 A.D as the date of the crucifixion.

Luke 3:23 is claimed by some to indicate the crucifixion was in 32 A.D. It states “And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.” This verse says that when Jesus was baptized He was about 30 years old. Some take this to mean that Jesus was exactly 30 years old when he began His ministry and taking into account his birth date of 9/11/ 3 BC would have the start of His ministry in 28 A.D. and the crucifixion in 32 A.D. But Luke 3:23 only says that He was about 30 years old. I believe if He was exactly 30 years old then it would have said “He was 30 years old. It does not say that, it says He was about 30 years old indicating that Jesus’ age was near 30. Thus Luke 3:23 allows for several possible crucifixion dates. If one insists on maintaining that Jesus was 30 years old when He began His ministry, the 29 AD date still works. For if He was born on 9/11/3 BC then He would have been 30 years old from 9/11/28 to 9/10/29. Thus He could have started His ministry in early September of 29 AD and still have been 30 years old, 3 and a half years later would have been Passover of 33 AD. (For an excellent article about dating the birthday of Jesus see Roy Reinhold’s article “Exact Date of Yeshua’s Birth at: http://www.ad2004.com/prophecytruths/Articles/Yeshua/yeshuabirth1.html

In summary; with the citing of the decree of Artaxerxes in 444 BC and then calculating forward 69 weeks (476 years, 25 days) you come to 33 AD for the year of the crucifixion. (Note: In The Coming Epiphany I show how the time of 476 years and 25 days comes to the exact day of the crucifixion.) Some cite the decree in 445 B.C. and come to 32 A.D. We showed by new moon data that 32 A.D. could not be the correct year because Passover (Nisan 14) was on a Monday in 32 A.D. And there is no way to reconcile a Monday crucifixion with the scriptural record. We also showed that scriptures cited by some to indicate a 32 A.D. crucifixion, upon proper analysis do not necessitate a 32 A.D crucifixion and also allow for a 33 AD crucifixion. From scripture we know that Jesus was crucified on Passover and on a Friday. Passover was on a Friday in 33 A.D. With a proper understanding of the “three days and nights” a Friday crucifixion is in agreement with the scriptural record. Many historical accounts such as the epistle of Pilate also indicate a crucifixion in 33 A.D. Since we have shown that all scriptural facts allow and point to a crucifixion on Passover Friday April 1st, 33 A.D. and that the new moon data only allows for 33 AD thus we have provided conclusive evidence that proves that the crucifixion had to take place on Friday April 1, 33 AD.
