Foreword
It is with much joy that I write this, my fifteenth book. Joy,
because I am able to give it to all who want it, without cost. Joy,
because I have received so many wonderful responses from people
all over the world who have read my previous books. And, Joy,
because I see the closeness of that long awaited Millennial
Day. It is because that promised “Day” is so close at hand that I
desired to write this to share with my friends.
God has been so good to me to allow me to see the beauty
of that coming Kingdom of Jesus Christ, and to share the evi-
dences of its approach with people all over the world. This book
is my gift to Him, given to His people who also look for and long
for that blessed Millennial Day.
May the “evidences” shared in this book be a blessing to
you, and may they inspire your heart to deeper search into God’s
word. And may it fill your heart with fervent longing for the sunrise
of Earth’s Great Millennium!

The Promise and the Hope
Oh how I remember the excitement! I would sit back in the
corner on the floor and try not to be seen. The room seemed to
be electrified with a wonderful aura that transported me into a
world of beauty and imagination! My mother and father had com-
pany, and they were all talking about “The Kingdom.”
To my little eight-year-old mind, “The Kingdom” was like
some kind of fairy tale land where everything was perfect – people
didn’t do bad things to other people, they didn’t steal, they didn’t
fight, they didn’t have to eat okra, and my big brothers wouldn’t
throw stones at me.
I listened as they opened their Bibles and read things like:
“It shall come to pass in the last days that the moun-
tain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the
top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above
the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.”
And I knew, because I had been taught, that the “moun-
tain” was “The Kingdom.” So, in my quiet corner I would long
for that Kingdom. When would it ever come? I knew it was not a
fairy tale. I had been taught the promises of the Bible. But when
would it ever come?
It is a question that men have been asking for 2,000 years.
And they are still looking, hoping, praying, and longing for that
promised Kingdom. Yea, even many generations before that, when

The Promise and the Hope 1

God gave the ancient prophets the promise of the Kingdom, men
longed for it. The prophet Isaiah told them about a child that would
be born who would become the Ruler of that Kingdom. He said:
“Of the increase of his government and peace there
shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon
his Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with
judgment and with justice from henceforth even
forever” (Isaiah 9:7)
The prophet Joel described the morning of that new day, but
he put it in terms that appear to be self-contradictory. He said:
“The day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
a day of darkness and of gloominess, as the morn-
ing spread upon the mountains.”
He is describing opposites. How can you have darkness,
gloominess, thick darkness and clouds and at the same time have
the brightness of the morning sun lighting up the tops of the moun-
tains?
It depends upon your stance, and what direction you are
looking. I remember just such a morning many years ago when I
lived in Michigan. My friend and I decided to get up very early in
the morning and walk a trail through the damp foggy wilderness to
a prominent hill where we could watch the sunrise. The sun obliged
us with a rare display of its brilliance. The beauty that surrounded
us that morning filled us with anticipation for the rising of the “Sun
of Righteousness” whom the prophet Malachi said would come
with healing for all mankind. The following words were written as
a memorial of that unforgettable morning.

2 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

Morning!
The day stands tip-toe on the hilltops,
Gently stealing through the mist upon the crest.
The mind takes flight,
conspiring with the morning wind.
Come watch with me the preparation of the Sun.

Hope!
No day is born without the dawn.
Morning is the day in its virginity:
Untouched, untried, waiting to be lived.
The morning dew has softly laid its kiss
upon her fields.
The gentle fingers of the wind
caress her sleeping woods.
Come share with me the waking of the dawn.

Ecsasty!
The morning pouring everywhere
its golden glory on the air.
The heart is silent – touched with wonder
and the joy of awareness.
The morning’s brilliance sheds forth its avalanche
upon the hills.
Come share with me the birthplace of the Day.

Birthing the Millennial Day
The birthplace of the day is upon us! And I’m not just trying
to be poetic. I really mean it!
We stand today at the threshold of Earth’s Great Millen-
nium. At no other time in history has prophecy ever been fulfilled
on such a grand scale as it is today.
Two thousand years ago a few devout souls were looking
for the appearance of the Messiah. The angels announced his
birth to a few uneducated shepherds out in the fields below
Bethlehem – but most of the people on planet earth knew nothing
whatsoever of the event or its earth-changing magnitude.
He came to his own – Israelites. But they killed him!
Shortly before they cruelly nailed him to a cross, he told his
close friends: “If I go away I will come again.” Since then, every
generation of his followers have looked and longed for his return.
In prophecy, the promise of his return has always been
associated with the establishment of his kingdom and the begin-
ning of Earth’s Great Millennium.
In the scriptures we are clearly given the figure: one day
equals a thousand years. That’s why we use the term “Millennial
Day” when referring to the Millennium.
How do we know that the Millennial Day is upon us?
The simplest way is to realize that a thousand years is called
a “day.” Simple arithmetic tells us that it has been nearly 2,000

Birthing the Millennial Day 5

years since Jesus went away. Consequently the beginning of a
“third day” is upon us.

Notice there are no dates on the above diagram. However,

to find precisely where we are today, it becomes necessary to
include dates. If we have a correct starting date, the rest will
easily follow. Volumes have been written concerning the date of
the crucifixion. After may years of research, I am convinced that
Jesus died on Nisan 14, A.D. 33, which, on the Julian Calendar,
was April 3, A.D. 33, in harmony with a lunar eclipse which
began at the moment of his death. If this is true, then the dates on
the diagram would look like this.

6 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

This places the dawning of the Great Millennial Day in the
spring of 2033.
Let’s look at an amazing prophecy that confirms this date.
The prophecy, however, is not specifically referring to Earth’s Great
Millennium – but it is most definitely referring to the time of Jesus’
return and the re-establishing of Israel into covenant relation with
God.
Israel had become a nation at Sinai when they entered into a
covenant with God. It was not only a Law Covenant, it was also
a Marriage Covenant. But Israel was unfaithful and broke the
Covenant. Just before they crucified Jesus, he said to Israel, “Your
house is left unto you desolate.” When Jesus, on the cross,
said, “It is finished,” he was telling Israel that the divorce was
then finalized.
A prophecy in Hosea 2 and in Isaiah 62 tells of the future re-
marriage of God to Israel, and the time when Israel will be faithful.
With this background, let’s look at the prophecy of Hosea 5
and 6, and note how it confirms the date of the spring of 2033 as
the joining again into a covenant.
“For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great
lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away;
I will carry them off with no one to rescue them
(destruction of Jerusalem and the diaspora). Then I
will go back to my place until they admit their guilt
(Israel will admit they killed their Messiah, and will
mourn for him whom they pierced). And they will seek
my face; in their misery they will earnestly seek me.
(Then they will turn to the Lord and say:) Come, let us

Birthing the Millennial Day 7

return to the Lord. He has injured us but He will
bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive
us; on the third day He will restore us, that we may
live in His presence. Let us acknowledge Him. As
surely as the sun rises, he will appear; He will come
to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that
water the earth.”
“After two days” and “on the third day,” chronologically
brings us to the spring of 2033 – two days from the crucifixion,
when he “went away.”
But hidden within the text of this amazing prophecy is the
confirmation that “after two days and on the third day” brings
us to 2033. It is in the number value of the Hebrew text –the
Gematria (number substitution). Here are the precise words from
the Hebrew text, translated into English, which add to 2033:
“For He has torn, and He will heal us. He has
stricken, and He will bind us up. After two days He
will bring us to life. In the third day...” (From the
Interlinear Bible, J. P. Green, King James II transla-
tion.)
“In the third day He will restore us.” Restore us to what?
To a Marriage Covenant – of course – a Marriage Covenant
between God and Israel. It was Israel that was “torn” and it is
Israel that is bound up again. Many people think this is a proph-
ecy pertaining to the Christian church, but clearly, if we take the
context, it is evident that it is speaking specifically to Israel. View-
ing it with these simple graphics below, will aid in understanding.

Israel Israel

The evidence is quite clear – the full restoration of divorced

Israel will take place in the spring of 2033.
But what about the promise Jesus made to his disciples that
he would go away, but later return to take them to be with him?
He said:
“In my Father’s house are many rooms – I am
going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come back and
take you to be with me that you also may be where
I am.” (John 14:1)
How does this fit into the promise of Israel’s restoration?
First, we need to have an overview of Time. We see time in little
one-day increments. It’s like we can’t see the forest for the trees.
But what would we see if we had a God’s-eye-view of time?
I am 81 years old. Since the age of 13 I have been studying,
and researching the chronology of man, from his beginnings in the
Garden of Eden to the present day, and into the future. I could
bore you to tears with years full of data, historical records,
archaeological evidence, astronomical cycles, Biblical history –
ad infinitum. But instead, let me attempt to distill it all into one
simple graphic.

(The central fulcrum
of the whole plan
of God for man.)

Notice the main character in this complete story – it is pre-

cisely in the center of the 8,000 years. Yes, it is plainly shown that
the blood of Jesus, shed on the afternoon of April 3, A.D. 33 is
the central fulcrum on which the entire history and future of man
rests. He is the hub; he is the central pattern; he is the foundation;

10 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

and he is the reason we have life. The Apostle John said, “By him
were all things created, and without him was nothing made.”
Jesus said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the
last.”
In the Gematria of the scriptures, Alpha is 1 and Omega is
800. The number 1 represents beginning, and 8 represents the
new beginning. Just so here, in the panoramic view of the whole
history and prophecy of man, he is the beginning, for “by him all
things were made” (John 1:2). And he is the ending “that in the
dispensation of the fulness of time he might gather together
in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and
which are on earth; even in him” (Ephesians 1:10).
From this amazing panoramic view we find Jesus at the very
hub. He is the Central Pattern. His brief ministry here on earth
was a tiny little 3-1/2 years – almost obscure in the vast sea of
8,000 years. But in finding this 3-1/2 years as the Central Pattern,
we have found the Key that opens the door to an understanding
of the entire 8,000 years. Let’s take a look!

Jesus

From history and prophecy we find five spans of 33-1/2

years, each ending in a short period of 3-1/2 years. The “Central
Pattern” is the earthly life span of Jesus, ending in the 3-1/2 years
of his ministry. That ministry began with a dedication of himself –

Birthing the Millennial Day 11

it was a “joining” of himself with his Heavenly Father in the bonds
of a covenant, the outward symbol of which was his baptism.
Preceding the Central Pattern, we find from the records of
the life of King David another 33-1/2 year span, ending in a brief
3-1/2 year period. David was king over all Israel for 33-1/2 years,
but the last 3-1/2 years of his life was co-regent with his son
Solomon. It was a “joining” of the two in kingship.
Going back in time, to the beginning of man, we find Adam
in the Garden for a span of 33-1/2 years, and during the last
3-1/2 years of that period, God gave him a wife – a “joining” of a
man and a woman in a marriage contract.
Going forward from the Central Pattern we come to a
33-1/2 year span beginning with the rulership of Jesus as the
antitypical King on David’s throne, and ending with a 3-1/2 year
period during which the antitypical Solomon (still Jesus) brings
Israel into belief and into a “re-joining” of Israel to God by a new
marriage covenant.
And finally, still going forward, the Millennium ends with a
33-1/2 year period of testing, the last 3-1/2 of which will see the
“re-joining” of all mankind back into a covenant of sonship – the
sonship that Adam lost.
On the opposite page I show a brief diagram of these five
33-1/2 year spans, and it becomes obvious that they each reflect
the pattern of the Central Pattern – Jesus.

Man’s governments conquered Spring 2033

A quick mental calculation on the above graphic tells us that

6,000 years from the creation of Adam brought us to Rosh
Hashanah 1999. One of the calculations that took prominence
prior to Rosh Hashanah of 1999 was the concept that Adam had

14 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

been given a right to rule. The Bible calls it “dominion.” And the
concept taught that this “dominion” was given to men for a
period of 6,000 years, at the end of which, Jesus would take his
power as King on David’s throne, and would overthrow the king-
doms of this world (man’s governments), and would set up
Divine Government in the earth.
But wait! That date is already history! What happened? Did
we miss something?
Alas! Too many good Christian people remember the dis-
appointment of Rosh Hashanah 1999. Prior to that date, there
was a world-wide expectation that Jesus would come for his bride.
All kinds of theories were being promoted as to the manner of his
coming. Some said he would come on a white horse followed by
a chariot in which he would gather his “elect” and whisk them
away in the view of all the unbelievers and mockers who would,
by then, be gnashing their teeth. Others said he would secretly but
suddenly snatch his chosen ones away – and if one such were the
pilot of a commercial airliner, the plane full of people would crash.
They spoke of driver-less cars causing fatal havoc on the high-
ways. A proliferation of books appeared on the market, all prof-
iting from “warning” people of the impending chaos. However,
Rosh Hashanah 1999 passed quietly into history to the amaze-
ment, the disappointment, and even the chagrin of the Christian
world.
Were they so wrong in their expectations? Didn’t they have
“signs?” Yes, as a matter of recorded history, they did. There
were many “signs” that great things were about to happen. The
problem was in the expectation. The same thing happened before

Birthing the Millennial Day 15

Jesus came as a baby. The scriptures tell us that “all men were in
expectation of him.” But unfortunately when he came as a tiny
baby they didn’t recognize him because they were expecting a
conquering king. And the irony is that because of his very claim –
to be a king – they killed him.
But wait! Is there a parallel to be seen here? They expected
to see a conquering king, but they got a tiny baby instead. Prior to
Rosh Hashanah 1999 they expected to see a conquering king,
but did they get a tiny baby instead? Think about it. The evidence
is amazing!

Birthing a Manchild
Most people are not aware that a birth took place on Rosh
Hashanah 1999. The constellation Virgo gave birth!
I hear someone saying “That’s ridiculous – those pictures in
the sky are just old myths.” Yes, they may be old myths now, but
they weren’t when they were placed there in the heavens. God
placed them there and set them in motion – and he said they would
be for “signs.” But godless men have corrupted those heavenly
signs, and have degraded them to the status of a myth. Neverthe-
less, God’s original “signs” are still there, and still functioning as
He originally intended.
A magnificent sign occurred on Rosh Hashanah 1999 in the
constellation Virgo, the virgin. For quite some time prior to Rosh
Hashanah of that year, it became obvious to astronomers that on
each Rosh Hashanah since 1996 the moon was moving from the
abdomen of Virgo, down through the birth canal, then between
her legs, and then on Rosh Hashanah 1999 the moon was
beneath her feet. An apparent “birth” had taken place. Many
thought that it was a sign of the birth of the bride of Christ and his
taking her to the wedding. It was obviously a sign of a birth, but
what birth?
A prophecy in the book of Revelation appears to describe
this sign. In Revelation 12:1 we find a description of a woman
who was clothed with the sun, a crown of twelve stars on her
head, and the moon “under her feet.” She gives birth to a

Birthing a Manchild 17
“manchild.” I suggest that it is more than mere coincidence that
on Rosh Hashanah of 1999 the constellation Virgo gave birth to a
“manchild” who, on that very date, was beneath her feet. Some
have interpreted this to picture the birth of Jesus. However, the
time setting for this prophecy is not depicting the time of the birth
of Jesus, but a much later birthing of another manchild. Many
have suggested that this second birth is the corporate Manchild –
the body of Christ.
Let’s look at this possibility for a moment. It has been sug-
gested that Jesus was born on Rosh Hashanah of 2 B.C. And
2,000 years from that date would bring us to Rosh Hashanah of
1999, which is 6,000 years from the time when Adam was given
dominion. The first manchild was born 2,000 years before the
second manchild. There is a prophecy in the Old Testament that
describes a first manchild and then a second manchild – they were
the sons of the prophet Isaiah. God told Isaiah that his two sons
would be for “signs.” Obviously the first son, Shear-Jashub, is a
“sign” of the birth of Jesus. God told Isaiah, “The virgin will be
with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him
Immanuel.” The Septuagint follows this with the statement: “But-
ter and honey shall he eat, before he knows to prefer evil, or
choose the good. For before the child shall know good or
evil, he refuses evil, to choose the good.”
Isaiah’s wife is called a virgin here because this was her first
child – probably the result of her very first intercourse. Before this
conception she had been a virgin. However, it is obviously pro-
phetic of Mary who was still a virgin after conceiving a child,
because her child was conceived by the Holy Spirit of God. Of

18 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

this child it was said: “before he knows either to prefer evil, or
choose the good” – this refers to a time before his 13th birthday,
because when he reaches 13 years of age he is no longer respon-
sible to his parents, but becomes responsible to the Law. This
happens on his 13th birthday, however, the prophecy says:
“Before he knows either to prefer evil or choose the good,”
meaning that this child would make that choice before his 13th
birthday. Jesus went into the temple when he was 12-1/2 years
old, having chosen to obey the Law. It was the spring of A.D. 12.
In the 8th chapter of Isaiah he tells of the birth of his second
son, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, which means “Spoil quickly, Plun-
der speedily.” In chapter 8:3 the Septuagint reads, “For before
the child shall know to call father or mother....” This has the
same meaning as with the first son. It is telling us that this second
Manchild will do the same as the first Manchild, and come into
the temple and choose to become a “son of the Law,” to which he
will become responsible, rather than to his parents. This second
Manchild is the corporate body of Christ who comes into the
temple condition (heavenly temple). This takes 2,000 years from
the day Jesus went into the temple – that is, the spring of A.D.
2012. However, there is yet a more comprehensive concept of
the Complete Manchild that must be observed.
Before our modern era, monarchs did not have a separate
governing body. They were the government. Their word was law.
Thus there was no separation between the king and his govern-
ment. This is the concept involved in the ruling authority of the
Manchild of Revelation 12:1. He is Divine Government.
So, Revelation 12:1 tells us of a birth. What was born? In

19 Birthing a Manchild
the ultimate sense, God’s Government was born. But we need to
go back to the prophecy of Isaiah to get a panoramic view of this
Manchild.
Isaiah 9:6-7 “For unto us a child is born, to us a son
is given, and the government will be on his shoul-
ders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there
will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and
over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with
justice and righteousness from that time on and
forever.”
The portion of this scripture that is underlined has a Gematria
value of 3760. Why 3760? The day that Jesus was born was the
first day of the Hebrew year 3760. The Gematria, hidden in the
prophecy, gives us the date that he would be born. Remarkable?
After studying the Gematria of the scriptures for more than forty
years, I would rather call it “logical.” Frankly, it was the number I
was looking for in this prophetic text; and there it was, right in the
middle. I would have been surprised had it not been there.
He came into this world as a baby on the first day of 3760.
The angel Gabriel reassured young Mary that the child conceived
in her would be the One prophesied by Isaiah, for he told her:
“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of
the Highest, and the Lord God shall give Him the
throne of David.”
Nine months later, when the fulness of her time had come,

20 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

she gave birth to the promised child. Luke wrote it this way:
“And she brought forth her firstborn son, and
wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in
a manger because there was no room for them in
the inn.”
The underlined portion of this scripture has a Gematria value
of 3760. It is telling us that the birth of this special Manchild was
in the Hebrew year 3760.
As was the custom, on the 8th day they took the baby to the
temple, and while there, an old man came in. His name was
Simeon. God had told this faithful man that he would not die until
he had seen the promised Messiah. Immediately Simeon, being
led of the Holy Spirit, recognized that this baby was the fulfillment
of that promise. He took the child in his arms and said:
“Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,
according to thy word: for mine eyes have seen thy
salvation which thou hast prepared before the face
of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and
the glory of thy people Israel.”
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 5760. Oh!
Now we have added 2,000 years to the year 3760 and we have
the Hebrew year 5760 – the first day of which was September
11, 1999 (Rosh Hashanah). Simeon was speaking a prophecy.
The “light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of Israel”
could not begin until this baby grew and became the King on
David’s throne. He took that place of authority on Rosh Hashanah
5760 (September 11, 1999).

Birthing a Manchild 21
Jesus came to be a king – the ruler on David’s throne. When
he rode into Jerusalem on the donkey and presented himself as
their King, they took council as to how they might kill him. And
four days later, instead of being crowned King, they nailed him to
the cross.
The Manchild as Ruler had been brought to the very point of
birth, but instead of birthing Divine Government, they simply
brought forth “wind,” as Isaiah prophesied.
Isaiah 26:17-18 “As a woman with child and about
to give birth writhes and cries out in pain, so were
we in your presence O Lord. We were with child, we
writhed in pain, but we gave birth to wind.”
When he rode into Jerusalem on the donkey it was a proc-
lamation of his Kingship. Jesus said if the people had not shouted
“Hosannah to the King” that even the stones would have cried
out. It was that important for the proclamation to be made. The
Kingdom of God was brought to the point of birth, but it did not
bring forth a Manchild – Divine Government.
This event was in the Hebrew year 3793. In Isaiah’s proph-
ecy of this event, the year 3793 was subtly hidden in the text,
because it shows a birth “before” the labor and a birth “after”
the labor. The only way a birth could be shown before labor was
by Jesus being proclaimed King. The nucleus of Divine Govern-
ment was represented in him.
Isaiah 66:8-9 “Before she goes into labor she gives
birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers
a son. Who has ever heard such a thing? Who has

22 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a
day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet
no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to
her children. Do I bring to the moment of birth and
not give delivery, says the Lord? Do I close up the
womb when I bring to delivery, says the Lord?”
The underlined portion of this scripture has a Gematria value
of 3793, fortelling the year in which Jesus would be proclaimed
King. It shows a birth of Divine Government only as it was repre-
sented in Him, but as for the nation of Israel at that time, it only
brought forth “wind.” There was no birth of the Kingdom.
But in this text is also the assurance of a birth. And not sur-
prisingly this assurance is accompanied by the number 1999 – the
year when it would actually happen.
“Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give
delivery, says the Lord? Do I close up the womb
when I bring delivery, says your God? Rejoice with
Jerusalem and be glad for her.”
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 1999. The
answer to the question is “No!” On Rosh Hashanah of 1999 a
birth took place. It was the birth of the Kingdom of God – Divine
Government. It was the first day of the Hebrew year 5760. It
began as a newborn – a Manchild. But we have the assurance
from the scriptures that it will grow, and fill the earth, just like the
little stone in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. The first thing the little
stone did was to smite the huge imposing image on its feet. Then it
began to grow. The bringing down and crumbling of the great

Birthing a Manchild 23
image of man’s governments is depicted in Psalm 2. There it says,
“I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.” The King takes
his place of authority before the overthrow. When we multiply the
digits in “I have set my King” we get 5760.
This birth of the Manchild is prophesied in Isaiah 42:14:
“For a long time I have kept silent, I have been
quiet and held myself back. But now, like a woman
in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant. I will lay
waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their
vegetation; I will turn rivers into islands and dry
up the pools.”
The underlined portion of this prophecy has a Gematria value
of 5760. It can’t get any more obvious! The beginning date for
the fulfillment of this prophecy is the first day of the Hebrew year
5760 – September 11, 1999. That was when the birth took place.
After the birth, as the child matures, he overthrows the “moun-
tains and hills” – man’s governments.
The connection between the birth before the labor and the
birth after the labor can be found in the prophecy of Zechariah.
Zechariah 9:9 “Rejoice O daughter of Zion! Shout
daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to
you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and
riding on a donkey, on a colt the foal of a donkey.”
The underlined portion adds to 1999, identifying it with the
time when he takes his power as King on David’s throne. But the
remainder of the verse is identifying him with the Jesus who rode
into Jerusalem on the donkey. One and the same person – one

24 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

and the same mission: to establish the “mountain of the Lord”
(Divine Government) above the mountains of man’s governments.
Psalm 96:9-10 tells of the time of establishing Divine Gov-
ernment in the earth (the birth after the labor). It proclaims:
“Tremble before him all the earth. Say among the
nations ‘The Lord reigns.’ The world is firmly
established.”
This proclamation has a Gematria value of 1999. Rosh
Hashanah 1999 was the first day of the Hebrew year 5760. A
wonderful birth took place that day – the birthing of the Manchild
with power and authority. Such a magnificent event surely would
not be without a sign. Jesus told his disciples “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.”
Was a sign given? Yes! But was the sign recognized? It was
observed by some, but when it was not followed by the visible
appearance of Jesus on a white horse, many were disappointed
and discouraged, and felt that they had mis-calculated the time.
The sign was right on time. And the sign was a birth, just as
was prophesied. It was a rare astronomical event that had never
happened before, and will not happen again until the precession
of the equinoxes slips back to the same point in the next 25,290-
year cycle. John described this sign when he was given the vision
of Revelation 12:1:
“A great and wonderous sign appeared in heaven:
a woman (constellation Virgo) clothed with the sun

Birthing a Manchild 25
(just below the horizon), with the moon (Manchild)
under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars (con-
stellation Bernice) on her head. She was pregnant
and cried out in pain as she was about to give
birth....She gave birth to a Manchild (the moon) who
will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”
In reality, the constellation “Virgo” was giving birth to the
moon every year from 1996 to 1999 – and the event happened
on Rosh Hashanah of each of those years. She appeared on her
back, and in each of those years on Rosh Hashanah the moon
was progressing through the birth canal until Rosh Hashanah 1999,
when it had progressed to a position beneath her feet. The birth
had taken place. And right on time! The 6,000 years of man’s
allotted time of rulership expired on that day – and the time for
earth’s new Ruler, Jesus Christ, to take his official position as
King on David’s throne. Divine Government was born! It was the
first day of the Hebrew year 5760.
The newborn child – Divine Government – came to earth.
Isaiah pictured it as a beginning of the conquering of the old order,
and the establishing of Divine Government in the earth. The
underlined portion of the scripture below has a Gematria value of
5760.
Isaiah 66:13-14 “As a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you, and you will be comforted
over Jerusalem. When you see this, your heart will
rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of
the Lord will be made known to his servants, but
his fury will be shown to his foes. With fire and with

26 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

his sword the Lord will execute judgment upon all
men; indeed see!”
Yes, it brought us to a time of judgment upon the nations, but
Isaiah also said (26:9) “when the judgments of the Lord are in
the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteous-
ness.” The keeping of the laws of Divine Government will indeed
bring righteousness. And Isaiah told us what the result will be:
Isaiah 32:16-18 “And the work of righteousness
shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness
quietness and assurance forever. And my people
shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure
dwellings, and in quiet resting places.”
It is a beautiful promise and a beautiful hope, but right now
we don’t see it happening. We see war, destruction, financial
collapse, and man’s cruelty to man. Why? Because the Manchild
(Divine Government) came as a tiny baby. It was not what the
Christian world was looking for – so they didn’t see it. The first
Manchild came as an obscure baby, unknown to the rulers of that
day. The second Manchild came the same way, and because the
Christian world was prepared to see Jesus come riding on a white
horse, they missed the big event. Rosh Hashanah 1999 came and
went, and their hopes were dashed. Some became discouraged,
some became the target of scoffers, some assumed that our chro-
nology was wrong, and some have resorted to the practice of
predicting the “rapture” on every approaching Hebrew holiday.
Disappointment is difficult to handle.
There was much disappointment, too, at the coming of the

Birthing a Manchild 27
first Manchild. They didn’t see it because they were looking for
the wrong thing. However, if they had understood the prophecies,
and accepted him as their promised Messiah, Divine Government
could have been set up in Jerusalem then. They had come to the
point of birth, but no Manchild was born. Isaiah had prophesied
this would happen. He said:
“Like as a woman with child, that draweth near
the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in
her pangs; so have we been in thy sight O Lord. We
have been with child, we have been in pain, we have
as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought
any deliverance in the earth.”
Israel could have given birth to Divine Government if she
had been faithful – but she was not faithful, and so she brought
forth wind.
But in the vision that John saw, recorded in Revelation 12,
as soon as the child was born it was “caught up to God and to
His throne.” This is describing a seat of divine authority –
Rulership!
When Isaiah prophesied “Unto us a child is born” he was
pointing to the birth of the first Manchild, who was Jesus. And
although he was the embodiment of Divine Government, he was
indeed a tiny baby, unknown to all except a few uneducated shep-
herds out in the fields beyond Bethlehem. The birth of the second
Manchild – Divine Government – is also a tiny baby, unknown to
all except a few uneducated nobodies out in the fields beyond
organized religion. And, just like the little stone cut out of the moun-
tain, it begins as a tiny infant, and grows until it fills the whole earth.
28 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium
Did you ever ask, “What was the mountain from which the
little stone was cut?”
That mountain had to be Divine Government, which always
exists in God’s realm. And now a little piece of it was taken out
and hurled at man’s mountains (governments). As unlikely as it
may seem from human experience, the little stone demolishes man’s
governments. Then it grows to become a mighty mountain. Obvi-
ously depicting an event that takes a period of time for its full
accomplishment.
If this analogy is correct, then it would follow logically to say
that on Rosh Hashanah 1999 the little stone was cut out of the
mountain – a birth took place.
The birth that took place 2,000 years ago didn’t make the
headlines. It largely went unnoticed to the rest of the world. Just
so, the birth that occurred in 1999 went largely unnoticed by the
world. In both events, the people expected it to happen differ-
ently, and so they failed to see what was really happening.
From the chronology of man’s 6,000 years, we have seen
that the time for the birth of the Manchild – Divine Government –
should occur on Rosh Hashanah 1999, which is the first day of
the Hebrew year 5760. But it is a tiny baby – just a little pebble.
Nevertheless it is real and it is firmly established. Psalm 96 states
it this way:
“Tremble before him all the earth. Say among the
nations, ‘The Lord Reigns,’ the world is firmly established.”
(This whole statement has a Gematria value of 1999, giving us the
time-setting for its fulfillment.)
The birth of the first Manchild was pre-figured by the birth

Birthing a Manchild 29
of the nation of Israel. It is as if the tiny nation of Israel, embodied
in the twelve sons of Jacob, represented the future Manchild.
Israel, in embryo condition, was the family of Jacob.
They went down to Egypt. Many years later God called
them out of Egypt. They were born as a nation when they entered
into a covenant with God at Sinai. A birth had taken place. The
New Testament writer, Matthew, either saw that Israel pre-
figured Jesus, or he was writing under the leading of the Holy
Spirit, because he leaves no doubt that the coming out of Egypt
was prophetic of Jesus. He said:
“So he, rising, took the child and his mother
during the night and left for Egypt ... And so was
fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet:
‘Out of Egypt I have called my son.’ ”
I had never understood why Matthew said this until I read
the words of a Messianic Jew who saw that Israel in its infancy
pre-figured Jesus in his infancy. Then it suddenly all made sense.
The going down to Egypt was so he could come out of Egypt –
and the timing is magnificent. Matthew records the fact that Jesus
went down to Egypt, and that he came back out of Egypt. And
both statements have a Gematria value of 1999, the date of the
birthing of the second Manchild.
Matthew 2:14 “...rising took the child and the
mother by night and departed into Egypt.”

Matthew 2:21 “...rising took the child and the

mother and came into the land of Israel.”

30 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

The underlined portion of these two statements each have a
Gematria value of 1999. I don’t think it is just blind coincidence
that 1999 appears in these two texts – it has all the earmarks of a
Divine Hand in its timing. It was on Rosh Hashanah 1999 that the
Manchild was born – the little stone was cut out of the mountain.
Hosea wrote “When Israel was a child I loved him, and
called my son out of Egypt.” Matthew quotes this and applies it
to Jesus, thus telling us that the birth of the nation of Israel pre-
figured the birth of Jesus. And we, by extension can apply it to the
birth of the Manchild.
I was interested to find that the first three Hebrew words of
this prophecy have a Gematria value (by multiplication) of 2520.
“When Israel was a child” equals 2520 by multiplication. This is
awesome, because it is telling us that when 2520 years had passed
since the sin of Adam, Israel would be called out of Egypt. And
this is indeed the exact year when they left Egypt. The year was
1448 B.C. We know that the year when Adam sinned was the
spring of 3968 B.C., so subtract 2520 years from that date and
we get the spring of 1448 B.C. When the Apostle Paul said that
“death reigned from Adam to Moses” he was talking about this
2520 years from the sin to the killing of the Passover lamb. Imme-
diately after Israel killed the typical Passover lamb, they left Egypt
– the year was 1448 B.C. The nation of Israel was born on
Pentecost of 1448 B.C. when they entered into a covenant with
God at Sinai. Exactly 1480 years later Jesus, the real Passover
Lamb, died on the cross, and on Pentecost of that year the future
bride of Christ was conceived in the womb. It fits that the name
“Christ” has a Gematria value of 1480.

The chronological evidence certainly appears to point to the

year 1999 as the time for Jesus to take his place as earth’s new
Ruler. But we have not seen it announced on the evening news.
This is because he came as a thief, that is, secretly. And Jesus told
his disciples that when the “thief” comes, he enters the strong
man’s house. (The strong man being Satan and his house being
man’s governments.) He also comes as a thief to take his bride.
This means that when he breaks into Satan’s house, and when he
takes his bride, both will be unknown to the world – no fan-fare,
no headlines – he does both secretly.
When he takes his bride it will be unknown to the world –

32 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

no evening news, no eye-witness video – it will be an event known
only to the bride.
But he has indeed given us clues regarding the time of his
taking his rightful place as King on David’s throne. Some of those
clues are in the Gematria of the text.
But how do we find it? When I began studying the Gematria
of the Biblical text forty years ago I could only do it with a little
hand-held calculator. Today I still do it that way, mostly. But within
the past year, a dear friend who is associated with Microsoft wrote
a program for me that will allow me to enter a number to be
searched, and it will give all the words, or contiguous words where
this number is hidden in the Hebrew Text of the Old Testament or
the Greek Text of the New Testament. It is a marvelous tool. But
when I shared with a friend some of the contiguous words that
went across sentence stops, or paragraph stops, she suggested
that this was not legitimate. I agree, when we are looking at the
English translation it does not appear legitimate. However, we
must remember that the original Hebrew text did not use punctua-
tion or sentence breaks, or even paragraph breaks – in fact, it did
not even have breaks between words. And often Hebrew word-
ing is turned around and twisted from our English structure. So if
we are considering contiguous words, we are not restricted by
these breaks in the English translation; we are considering its use
and continuity in the Hebrew text.
With this in mind, let’s look at a few items that appear to be
clues as to the time when Jesus takes his power as King on David’s
throne.
First, let’s go way back into the Genesis story of Joseph,

Birthing a Manchild 33
having been sold as a slave to Egypt, but because of his correct
interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream, he was elevated to first in power
after Pharaoh. Here is what Pharaoh said to Joseph:
“You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my
people are to submit to your orders. Only with
respect to the throne will I be greater than you. So
Pharaoh said to Joseph, I hereby put you in charge
of the whole land of Egypt.” (Genesis 41:40)
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 1999. This
is amazing. We already knew that Joseph’s elevation to power
second only to Pharaoh was a fore-shadow of Jesus being
elevated to power as King – and the only One higher than him
would be God Himself, represented here by Pharaoh. Now we
find that the time-clue has been written there for several millennia,
hidden in the Gematria.
Students of the Bible have long known that Joseph, who
received this kingly power, represented Jesus. But not until the
hidden Gematria became known during the current generation
did we see the direct and positive connection in the numbers. It
was then it became known that Joseph and Jesus were tied to-
gether by the inseparable bond of the number 888.
The name Jesus in the Greek text of the New Testament has
a Gematria value of 888.

Jesus

10+8+200+70+400+200

888
34 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium
But reaching all the way back in time to the final days of
Jacob, we find him on his death-bed, gathering his twelve sons
around him and prophesying what will become of them. He said
to Joseph: “Joseph is a fruitful vine...”
The Gematria of its three Hebrew words adds to 888. Giv-
ing us the positive identification that Joseph represents Jesus.
It was Rosh Hashanah 1999 when the prophecy of Psalm
2:6 was fulfilled: “I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
Amazingly, this statement in Psalm 2: “I have set my King”
has a Gematria value, by multiplication, of 5760. Rosh Hashanah
1999 was the first day of the Hebrew year 5760. Are we talking
about coincidence or evidence? You be the judge.
When Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, he told
the king that the great metal image represented the governments
of man. And he told him also that the little stone that was cut out of
the mountain would demolish the great image and grind it into
such a fine powder that the wind would blow it away.
So we see, on Rosh Hashanah 1999 the little stone – the
tiny baby – that would grow and eventually fill the entire earth
with Divine Government. It was the first day of the Hebrew year
5760. So I did a search in the book of Daniel for the number
5760 to see if there was anything relevant. To my amazement this
is what I found. Daniel 2:41-44:
“And just as you saw the iron mixed with clay, so
the people will be a mixture and will not remain
united, any more than iron not mixes with clay. In
the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set
up a kingdom that will never by destroyed, nor will

Birthing a Manchild 35
it be left to another people. It will crush all those
kingdoms and bring them to and end, but it will
itself endure forever.”
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 5760. Right
on time! And as I kept reading, there was another one, right in the
next verse. Daniel 2:45-46:

“This is the meaning of the vision that from the

mountain was cut out the rock, but not by human
hands – a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the
clay, the silver and the gold to pieces. The great
God has shown the king what will take place in the
future. The dream is true and the interpretation is
trustworthy. Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell pros-
trate before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered
that an offering and incense be presented to him.”

36 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

Again, the underlined portion has a Gematria value of 5760.
Truly I do not think this is a random coincidence. It has all the
earmarks of being intentional and for our learning.
It may appear that I have tampered with the text. No I have
not. As mentioned previously, when the translators put the
Hebrew text into English, they turned the wording around to con-
form with proper English sentence structure. But when calculating
the Gematria, it is of absolute necessity that we follow the exact
word-flow of the Hebrew text. Thus I have attempted to show
this in the translation. The number value comes strictly from the
Hebrew text, regardless of what arrangement we say it in English.
But look at those four verses – 41 - 46. They are amazing!
They are describing how the little stone demolishes the huge
image, and within the description it has encoded the date of its
beginning twice – the Hebrew year 5760.
On the last day of the year 5760 Ariel Sharon took a large
band of Israeli soldiers up to the Temple Mount. There he read
from the prophecy of Ezekiel 37, proclaiming their right to be
there, and their right of possession of the land.We are all aware of
the result. It was the beginning of the Infitada – the “holy war”
which still rages against Jerusalem.
The prophet Haggai wrote during the time of the building of
the second temple. When reading his record of these events, we
definitely get the feeling that a hidden prophecy is involved – a
prophecy concerning the building of a heavenly temple which will
be filled with the glory of God. He said to Haggai:
“In a little while I will once more shake the heav-
ens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will
Birthing a Manchild 37
shake all nations and the desired of all nations will
come, and I will fill this house with my glory.”
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 1999. How
much more obvious can we get! At the time of the shaking of all
nations, Jesus will take his rightful place as King, and following
this event, he will fill the heavenly temple with glory. Will that be
the time of the completion of the bride and the glory of her queenly
status? I don’t know, but it surely sounds that way.
We have suggested that a birth took place on Rosh Hashanah
1999, and here is a prophecy which speaks of that birth, and it
bears the hidden number 1999.
“Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together
they shout for joy. When the Lord returns to Zion,
they will see it with their own eyes. Burst into songs
of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord
has comforted his people.” (Isaiah 52:8-9)
The underlined portion adds to 1999. This is a prophecy
that goes a few years beyond 1999 to the time when Israel comes
to believe that Jesus really is their Messiah and that he has come
to save them from threatened destruction. It adds to 1999
because that was the beginning date for his coming as earth’s new
king.
There is a promise in the book of Jeremiah which re-affirms
the promise God gave to King David that his right of rulership will
never fail. And hidden within the prophecy again we find the iden-
tifying number 1999. Jeremiah 33:18-20:
“For this is what the Lord says: David will never

38 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

fail to have a man to sit on the throne of the house
of Israel, nor will the priests, who are Levites, ever
fail to have a man to stand before me continually
to offer burnt offerings and present sacrifices. The
word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: This is what
the Lord says: if you can break my covenant with
the day and my covenant with the night, so that the
day and night no longer come to their appointed
time, then my covenant with David my servant –
and my covenant with the Levites who are priests
ministering before me – can be broken, and David
will no longer have a descendent to reign on his
throne.”
The underlined portion is a combining of two occurrences of
1999. It may appear to be a bit disconnected, but the phrase
“burnt offerings and present sacrifices” has a direct reference
to Jesus, because the “burnt offerings” which were every morn-
ing and every evening, represented the continual sacrifice of Jesus
that never ceases to be available. Jeremiah, here, is showing us
the fact that Jesus will not only be a King on the throne of David,
but he will be a Priest as well. And the fact that the date 1999
actually appears twice here, suggests that it is to be emphasized.
One of the exciting occurrences of 1999 is in the prophecy
that Jesus gave to his disciples, recorded in Luke 21:27:
“And then they shall see the Son of man coming in
a cloud with power and great glory.”
People have mistaken this “coming in a cloud” to mean

Birthing a Manchild 39
that he will literally descend from the clouds we see in the sky.
However, the scriptures speak of clouds to denote something that
is in the spirit realm and cannot be seen by humans. For instance,
in the transfiguration scene, Jesus appeared in a cloud in his glori-
fied spirit body, and Peter, James and John were invited to enter
the cloud to see them. Thus it appears that when Jesus said he
would come “in a cloud” it means that he comes in the spirit
realm, and therefore not seen by man. In this verse in Luke, “com-
ing in a cloud with” has a Gematria value of 1999. It is probably
telling us that this happened in 1999.
The reason for his coming is to demolish man’s governments
and then set up Divine Government in the earth. The prophet Isaiah
described it this way:
“The Lord is angry with all the nations; his wrath
is upon all their armies. He will totally destroy them.
He will give them over to slaughter. Their slain will
be thrown out.” (Isaiah 34:2)
Here again this entire statement adds to 1999. Amazing!
This work began in 1999 and continues until man’s governments
are fully destroyed. The disasters happening in the world today,
both nature-made and man-made attest to the fact that the infra-
structure of man’s governments is crumbling.
There is an interesting promise in Isaiah 42:3-4 that tells us
he comes to establish justice in the earth. It reads:
“In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will
not falter or be discouraged till he has established
justice in the earth.”

40 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

The underlined portion adds to 1999. In reality, the estab-
lishing of justice in the earth is the work of the entire Millennium,
but the work begins in 1999 when he takes kingly power.
Again, in Isaiah 42, we have another hidden 1999. It is say-
ing the same thing as in verses 3 and 4. This time it says:
“Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one
in whom I delight; I will put my spirit on him and
he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout
or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.”
Obviously, when he took his power as King on Rosh
Hashanah 1999 it did not make the headlines or the evening news.
It was not proclaimed in the streets. No! He came as a thief. The
Christian world was unaware, because they were looking for him
to ride through the sky on a white horse.
The book of Esther is not only an historical record of events
in Persia, but it is also a pre-figure of the events to transpire when
Jesus takes his kingly power in 1999.
We all know that King Ahasuarus, in our King James Bible,
is really history’s King Xerxes. And in the NIV it is so stated. In
this story, Xerxes represents Divine Rulership as is embodied in
both God and His Son – Jesus being the appointed Prince. It is
interesting that the story begins with this statement:
“At that time King Xerxes reigned from his royal
throne.”
Again, the underlined portion adds to 1999, giving us a time
frame for the events to follow. The story begins with the casting
off of an unfaithful queen and the crowning of a new queen.

Birthing a Manchild 41
Possibly the new queen – Esther – represents the bride of Christ
which is the participant of a royal wedding soon after Jesus takes
his royal power. So the story goes:
“Now the king was attracted to Esther more than
to any of the other women, and she won his favor
and approval more than any of the other virgins. so
he set a royal crown on her head and made her
queen instead of Vashti.”
The underlined portion adds to 1999. There are several other
occurrences of 1999 in the story, keeping us aware of the time
setting for the story.
Thus it appears that the year 1999 was the beginning of a
magnificent event – but an event kept secret and unseen by most
of the world’s billions. Just like 2,000 years ago when Jesus came
as a baby, most of the population of the earth was totally un-
aware, so here at the end of the 2,000 years, Jesus comes to take
his power as King on David’s throne, but that kingdom which he
establishes comes as a tiny baby – a little stone – unnoticed by
earth’s billions.

The Elusive 2012 Question
As I write this, we are in the summer of the year 2010. The
whole world stands in anticipation of some great event that may
happen on December 21, 2012.
Numerous television documentaries have focused on that
electrically charged date. Speculation is high.
The date comes from the ancient Mayan calendar, which
shows 12-21-2012 as an end date – the end of the world as we
know it. What will happen then? None of us really know. But if
this book gets into the hands of people who live beyond that date,
perhaps they will be in a better position to understand the mean-
ing of current events than is possible in this summer of 2010. At
this point in time I can only offer a few suggestions.
One thing I do know: just as major events happened on
Rosh Hashanah 1999 but went totally unnoticed by most of the
world – so major events could happen in the plan of God on
12-21-2012 that will not be readily visible to the world in general.
Remember, Jesus was the Pattern Son. His 33-1/2 years
were a pattern for four other 33-1/2 year periods. We are living
today in one of those periods. Two thousand years from his birth
on Rosh Hashanah 2 B.C., brought us to Rosh Hashanah 1999;
and two thousand years from his death on Passover A.D. 33 will
bring us to Passover 2033. It is a parallel period of time.

Does this suggest that we are to look for other parallels
within that 33-1/2 year span? Probably! If he was the Pattern
Son then it is a logical assumption that other events would have
their parallel also.
In the New Testament gospels, the next event that is
recorded tells us about Jesus going into the temple when he was
12-1/2 years old. The scripture tells us that he was 12, however,
this event took place on Passover, and since he had been born on
Rosh Hashanah, he would have passed his 12th birthday by six
months. This would be in the spring of A.D. 12.
The apparent parallel is that Jesus, as the second Manchild,
goes into a temple. What temple could that be?
The Apostle Paul often spoke of the development of the
bride of Christ as being the building of a temple – a spiritual temple.
I Corinthians 3:16:
“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s
temple, and that God’s spirit lives in you?”

“We are the temple of the living God.”

(2 Corinthians 6:16)
“...you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fel-
low citizens with God’s people and members of
God’s household, built on the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as
the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is

The Elusive 2012 Question 45

joined together and rises to become a holy temple
in the Lord. And in him you too are being built
together to become a dwelling in which God lives
by his Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:19-22)
The building blocks of that temple are the individual mem-
bers of the “body of Christ.” For nearly two thousand years the
“stones” of that heavenly temple have been in the process of
development. But there will come a time when all the building
blocks have been prepared, and they will fit together into a spiri-
tual temple. I suggest this is the temple that John saw in vision
which is recorded for us in Revelation 11.
“The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there
were loud voices in heaven, which said: The king-
dom of the world has become the kingdom of our
Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever
and ever.... Then God’s temple in heaven was
opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of
his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning,
rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a
great hail storm.”
This prophetic vision suggests several things. First, following
the sounding of the seventh trumpet there is a change in rulership.
And although the change is not fully accomplished until 2033,
nevertheless, because victory is assured, we can legally count the
change in rulership from its small beginnings, which was Rosh
Hashanah 1999. It was a tiny little stone, cut out of the mountain.
It was the baby Manchild – Divine Government – as was repre-
sented in Jesus Christ, the new Ruler.
46 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium
Then, after describing the purpose and work of the Millen-
nium, John saw in vision a temple.
“Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and
within his temple was seen the ark of the Covenant.
And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings,
peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hail-
storm.” (Revelation 11:19)
Descriptive language indeed! The temple, at this point in the
vision was fully built. In it was the Ark of the Covenant. Surely not
the old Ark of the Covenant which was in the Tabernacle in the
wilderness, but the fulfillment of what that original box represented.
It was, to all Israel, the presence of God with them. And so John
was given a vision of the completed heavenly temple, with God
dwelling in its midst.
The original Ark of the Covenant represented God’s pres-
ence with them from many standpoints. First, God’s four attributes
– Justice, Wisdom, Love and Power – are displayed there. The
lid of the Ark was made of gold, with cherubim at each end, each
facing inward toward the Mercy Seat which was in the middle.
And glowing above and surrounding the Mercy Seat was the
Shekinah Glory – a light that emerged from the Divine Presence.
The Mercy Seat was the place of atonement. It represented
Divine Justice. The cheribim represented Love and Power. And
the Shekinah Glory represented divine Wisdom. This was the
Divine Presence as was represented in the Ark of the Covenant.
When the heavenly temple is complete, God’s Justice, Wis-
dom, Love and Power will act on behalf of mankind, bringing

The Elusive 2012 Question 47

them up from the condition of sin, degradation and ignorance, into
the condition of enlightenment and abundant life.
But the transition is described in the vision as “flashes of
lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a
great hailstorm.” The symbology is obvious. “Flashes of light-
ning” speaks of the enlightenment of mankind. They will be brought
out of the darkness of superstition, false religion, ignorance, and
illiteracy, into enlightenment. They will have teachers that will show
them the Word of God and the Laws of God.
The rumblings and peals of thunder always follow the light-
ning. And surely upheaval and protest will follow the teaching of
righteousness. For 6,000 years man’s prosperity has been cen-
tered in selfishness and greed. The change will cause great rum-
blings and peals of thunder, as the security of that old system of
greed is taken from them.
This is followed by an earthquake. In the symbology of the
scriptures, an earthquake always represents revolution – a turning
over from one regime to another. The setting up of Divine Gov-
ernment will effect the greatest revolution mankind has ever known.
But then comes the best part of all – the hailstorm. Hail is
frozen water. But a special kind of water that is condensed in the
clouds and is driven upward into the very cold atmosphere where
it freezes and becomes heavy enough to fall back through the
clouds and down to the earth. Water in the symbology of the
scriptures always represents refreshing truth. But hailstones are
not refreshing, they are destructive. Thus the hailstorm that John
saw in vision is showers of “hard” truth that cuts down through the
myths and false teachings of man, and reveals God’s truth.

48 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

These things are the result of the completion of the heavenly
temple, and the placing of the Ark of the Covenant within it. But
they don’t all happen at once. It is the progressive work of the
Millennium.
But where does it begin?
We saw how the birth of Jesus in the autumn of 2 B.C. is
balanced with the birth of the second Manchild – Divine Govern-
ment – in the autumn of 1999. There were exactly two thousand
years between the two events.
The birth of Jesus was obscure and unknown to the world at
large. And just so, the birth of the second Manchild is as a “little
stone” unknown and unobserved by the world.
Should we also suppose that the event paralleling Jesus at
12-1/2 going into the temple, would likewise be unknown to the
world? Possibly! Let’s look at that for a moment. The scripture
tells us, Luke 2:49:
“How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I
must be about my Father’s business? And they un-
derstood not the saying which he spoke unto them.”
That is from the King James translation. The NIV says:
“Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s
house?”
And the word-for-word translation of the Greek text says:
“in the things of my Father.”
Apparently Jesus was aware of the importance of him being
in the temple at that time. He knew that in six months his 13th

The Elusive 2012 Question 49

birthday would come and he would have to choose to become a
son of the Law. By going into the temple to inquire about this, he
showed his desire to make the choice to be personally respon-
sible to the Law – just as it was said of Isaiah’s first son:
“For before the child shall know good or evil, he
refuses evil, to choose the good.”
But why was this event recorded, when no other event
between his birth/circumcision and his baptism, were recorded? I
think it was because he was not only doing what was prophesied
of him, but also he was pre-figuring an event that would happen in
the future – 2,000 years into the future. That would be the spring
of 2012. So, what will happen then which would be a counterpart
to his going into the temple to inquire about his becoming a son of
the Law, and being about his Father’s business? I don’t know for
sure. But I do know this much: that it is an event in the heavenly
realm pertaining to the second Manchild (Christ and his body, as
representatives of Divine Government). Thus it may not be
observed on earth. It may possibly be an education process for
the “body of Christ,” the future bride, learning the things that will
be required for the setting up of Divine Government in the earth.
If this is true, then it would probably mean that the “body of
Christ” would be complete. According to the scriptural record,
it is not required that the wedding take place immediately upon
the completion of that company. But if a learning process is planned,
then it would logically be to fulfill the picture of Jesus inquiring in
the temple.
When Jesus went into the temple in the spring of A.D. 12, he

50 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

was inquiring of the doctors of the Law regarding his becoming a
son of the Law, because he knew that in six months he would
become a Bar Mitzvah. The term literally means “Son of the Com-
mandments.”
A Jewish boy automatically becomes a Bar Mitzvah upon
reaching his 13th birthday. No ceremony is needed. The popular
Bar Mitzvah ceremony today is not required, and is, in fact, a
relatively modern innovation. The elaborate ceremonies and
receptions that are commonplace today were unheard of as
recently as a century ago.
The Bar Mitzvah – Son of the Commandments – formally
marks the boy as becoming a son of the Law, being no longer
only responsible to his parents, but now becoming personally
responsible to the Law. Becoming a son of the Law allowed him
to perform certain parts of their religious services, to sign binding
contracts, to testify before religious courts, and to marry.
If this applies to the second Manchild, then he – Jesus – the
embodiment of Divine Government, would legally be able to marry
anytime after his 13th birthday, which would be Rosh Hashanah
2012. Thus we cannot expect the “marriage of the Lamb” as
mentioned in Revelation 19 to take place prior to that date. It
follows logically that coming into the temple at age 12-1/2 was
not a foreshadow of that royal wedding, because it was six months
prior to marriage even becoming a legal option for him.
This tells us that the royal wedding of the “bride and the
Lamb” of Revelation 19 cannot happen prior to Rosh Hashanah
2012, but the evidence suggests that it must happen prior to Rosh
Hashanah 2029. This gives us a 17-year window for that event.

The Elusive 2012 Question 51

But remember, it is a heavenly event and not an earthly event, so
it is entirely possible, in fact highly probable, that mankind will be
unaware of it.
In A.D. 12 when Jesus went into the temple, it was Herod’s
temple. Herod the Great had planned a complete restoration and
renovation of the second temple, which had been built by
Zerubbabel and dedicated in the month of Adar in 516 B.C.
Herod’s plan was magnificent. The work was begun in 21-20
B.C. and continued until A.D. 65 (just five years before it was
destroyed in the Roman invasion of A.D. 70). That is a long time-
span for the construction of a building. Thus, obviously, when
Jesus went into the temple at age 12-1/2, the temple had not been
completed but was still under construction.
We have seen that Isaiah’s two sons fore-shadowed the birth
of Jesus (the first Manchild), and the birth of Divine Government
(the second Manchild). The second son of Isaiah was named
Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, which means “Spoil quickly, Plunder
speedily.” This obviously describes the work of the second
Manchild, for the first work of his rulership is the overthrow and
destruction of man’s governments. But according to John’s vision
in Revelation 11, the temple had to be complete and contain the
Ark of the Covenant before the earthquake (change of govern-
ment) could happen.
If the completion of the “body of Christ” is not the full comple-
tion of the heavenly temple, but only the laying of the foundation
and the building of the altar, then when will its completion be, and
who or what else must be built?

52 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

The Manchild and Isaiah 9
The prophet Isaiah gave us a prophecy of the coming
Manchild, but we tend to miss its full import because we have
been taught from childhood to apply it to the birth of the baby
Jesus. It does apply to him, but that is only half the story. The
other half is even more beautiful, but most Christian people are
totally unaware of it. Here it is as we have been taught, from our
King James Version.
“For unto us a child is born: and unto us a son is
given: and the government shall be upon his shoul-
der: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Coun-
sellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the
Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government
and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of
David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to
establish it with judgment and with justice from
henceforth even forever.” (Isaiah 9:6-7)
It is a beautiful prophecy, and yes, he was the child that was
born, although as a baby, boy, or man, he never became the Prince
of Peace or set up a government of peace that would last forever.
And although his disciples proclaimed him King and placed him
on the back of a donkey and strewed palm branches before him
as he rode into Jerusalem, yet only four days later his enemies
killed him. He did not fulfill Isaiah’s prophesy!
Matthew saw the connection and pointed out to us that Jesus

The Manchild and Isaiah 9 53

was the fulfillment. Here is Isaiah’s prophecy and Matthew’s con-
nection to the acts of Jesus. But it does not appear that Matthew
looked down in time and saw a larger fulfillment.
Isaiah 9:1 “Nevertheless there will be no more gloom
for those who are in distress. In the past he humbled
the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but
in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles,
by way of the sea, along the Jordan. The people
walking in darkness have seen a great light; on
those living in the land of the shadow of death a
light has dawned.”
And Matthew recorded it this way:
Matthew 4:13-16 “Leaving Nazareth he went and
lived in Capernaum, which is by the lake in the area
of Zebulun and Naphtali – to fulfill what was said
through the prophet Isaiah. Land of Zebulun and
land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, along the Jor-
dan, Galilee of the Gentiles – the people living in
darkness have seen a great light: on those living in
the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”
After his baptism at age 30, Jesus went to Galilee to fulfill
this prophecy. It established his authenticity. He was showing that
this prophecy of Isaiah pointed to him. And look at the comment
of Matthew: “From that time on Jesus began to preach,
‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.’ ”
The King James Version says, “the Kingdom of heaven is
at hand,” describing it better, because the larger fulfillment of this

54 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

is the work of the second Manchild, after baptism at 30 (autumn
2029) as he begins to minister to Israel, telling them that the King-
dom is being set up in their midst.
It is then (2029 and after) that the government will fully be
upon his shoulder, and the increase of that government and peace
will never come to an end. It is then that he fully establishes the
throne of David with righteous judgment and divine justice. That
will be the beautiful fulfillment of the prophecy.
So we see Isaiah’s prophecy as describing the first and second
Manchild, just as his two sons pictured the first and second Manchild.
But there is more to be seen here by way of confirmation.
When Isaiah wrote “Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
given,” he was using language best understood by a Hebrew
audience. To us it sounds redundant. But he was talking about
two separate events. “A son is given,” is not simply a repetition
of “a child is born.”
The phrase “a child is born” looks redundant in Hebrew
because ����(child) is the same as the Hebrew word ��� (is
born). Each having a Gematria of 44, but when combined as a
phrase becomes 88. However the next phrase, “a son is given,”
uses an entirely different Hebrew word. “A child,” ��� means
an infant; whereas “A son is given” – �������– is not talking
about the birth of an infant, but the placing of a son – a Hebrew
type of adoption which happens at age 30. The Hebrew word
����means to place, appoint, put in charge. This did not occur
until he was 30. Thus in the fulness of the picture, when the sec-
ond Manchild becomes 30 he will be appointed, or put in charge.
This will be autumn 2029.

The Manchild and Isaiah 9 55

When Isaiah wrote this he undoubtedly knew that he was
talking about two different events. Even the translators of the
Septuagint knew it was two separate events. The Greek words
they used attest to this. For “child” they used the Greek word
paidion, which means an infant. But for “son” they used the Greek
word huios, meaning son (no age specified). But it clearly identi-
fies two phases of the life of this Manchild – birth as an infant, and
placing as a son at age 30. The logical flow of the prophecy points
to Jesus as a babe in the manger, and a man of 30 where the voice
from heaven said “This is my beloved son, in whom I am well
pleased.”
Jesus never did any miracles until he had been placed as a
son at age 30. Prior to 30, he had been a perfect human being,
but after his anointing he was given all the power as a son of the
Father, receiving a place of maturity whereby the full authority of
the resources of the Father were bestowed on him.
Jesus was the Pattern Son, and the three major steps in his
life pre-figure the three major steps in the life of the second
Manchild. Those three steps were: 1) birth and circumcision; 2)
the Bar Mitzvah, which took place when he was about to become
13 years old, entering puberty; and 3) the event known as the
“Huiothesia,” or the “adoption ceremony.” The word
“Huiothesia” means “Son Placement.” At this time, the father of
a young man would place his hand on the head of his son and
openly proclaim, “This is my beloved son in whom I am well
pleased. I bestow on him now all of my riches and power and
authority (we call it Power of Attorney) so that he might act on my
behalf in all of my affairs.”

56 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

This “Son Placement” in the case of the second Manchild
was indicated by the words: “And her child was caught up to
God and to his throne” – depicting a place of authority.
This “Son Placement” happened to Jesus at age 30. It is
logical, if he was the “Pattern Son” that the second Manchild will
receive his “Son Placement” when he is 30 years old – in the
autumn of 2029.
The Apostle Paul clearly saw this “Son Placement” for the
body of Christ, and explained it in Romans 8:16-25:
“The spirit itself testifies with our spirit that we
are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we
are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if
indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we
may also share in his glory. I consider that our
present sufferings are not worth comparing with
the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation
waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to
be revealed.... We know that the whole creation has
been groaning, as in the pains of childbirth, right
up to the present time. Not only so, but we our-
selves, who have the firstfruit of the spirit, groan
inwardly as we wait eagerly for the adoption as
sons (Son Placement), the redemption of our bod-
ies.”
Thus we see that the adoption – or Son Placement – is not
as we think of today, the taking of an orphan child and raising it as
our own. Today’s definition of adoption has nothing to do with
the Son Placement that the Apostle Paul was speaking of. It has,

The Manchild and Isaiah 9 57

rather to do with coming to a place of maturity whereby the full
authority and resources of the Father are bestowed upon the son.
The catching up of the second Manchild to God and to His
throne is the sons of God coming into their place of full authority
and power in the Kingdom. And I suggest that this Son Place-
ment comes after Jesus has taken his bride in marriage – after the
Christ (head and body) and (bridegroom and bride) have been
united as one.
The adoption – Son Placement – has to do with inheritance
rather than salvation. The bride of Christ cannot be placed as a
son until she marries the heir. Then, when she has taken his name
and has become one with him, together they are placed as a Son.
Thus it becomes apparent that the earthly life of the Pattern
Son, the first Manchild, becomes a parallel to the experiences of
the second Manchild, with 2,000 years intervening.

A.D. 29 Jesus’ Baptism

“This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.”

A.D. 2029 Son Placement

Building Zerubbabel’s Temple
Students of scripture have long known that the construction
of Zerubbabel’s temple is prophetic of the building of the spiritual
temple – Christ and his bride. But there are some striking paral-
lels which illuminate the subject and suggest its remarkable time
elements. First, let’s look at the scriptural record from the book
of Haggai.
“They came and began the work on the house of
the Lord Almighty, their God, on the twenty fourth
day of the sixth month in the second year of King
Darius.” (Haggai 1:14-15)

“On the twenty first day of the seventh month,

the word of the Lord came through the prophet
Haggai: Speak to Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel,
governor of Judah, to Joshua, son of Jehozadak,
the high priest, and to the remnant of the people.
Ask them, Who of you is left who saw this house in
its former glory? How does it look to you now?
Does it not seem to you like nothing...? This is what
the Lord Almighty says: In a little while I will once
more shake all nations, and the desired of all
nations will come, and I will fill this house with
glory, says the Lord Almighty. The silver is mine
and the gold is mine, declares the Lord Almighty.
The glory of this present house will be greater than

Building Zerubbabel’s Temple 59

the glory of the former house, says the Lord
Almighty. And in this place I will grant peace,
declares the Lord Almighty.” (Haggai 1:1-10)
The underlined portion adds to 1999, giving us the year when
the “desired” one will receive kingly power; but filling the house
with glory does not necessarily happen immediately. God’s plans
are a process of development.
Let’s look at an event that happened 12-1/2 years before
work began on Zerubbabel’s temple. I had never noticed this
before doing this study, but there is a remarkable time-correspon-
dence here.
In the autumn of 550 B.C., Daniel was given a vision in
which he saw a Ram with two horns, which represented the com-
bined kingdom of the Medes and the Persians. (Daniel 8) The
vision was prophetic of the night when Babylon’s king Belshazzar,
during his great feast, saw the handwriting on the wall; and at the
same time the army of Cyrus was breaking through into the city.
That night Babylon was conquered. The vision of this event was
given to Daniel in the autumn of 550 B.C.
Isaiah prophesied that Cyrus would represent Jesus. In
reality, Cyrus entered Babylon on October 29, 539 B.C. – just
11 years after Daniel saw the vision. Cyrus wasted no time; in the
month of Nisan in 538 B.C. he issued a decree that the Jews in
Babylon should return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple.
The task of gathering supplies for the trip, organizing the
caravan, and making that 5-month journey across the desert, must
be factored in when considering the time. Then when they arrived
in the land of Israel, the people were more interested in building
60 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium
and preparing their own homes than in starting work on the temple.
But in the second month in the second year they began building
the altar and the foundation. This is recorded in Ezra 3:8-11:
“And all the people gave a great shout of praise to
the Lord, because the foundation of the house of
the Lord was laid. But many of the older priests
and Levites and family heads, who had seen the
former temple, wept aloud when they saw the foun-
dation of this temple being laid.”
This was the spring of 537 B.C. From the time when the
vision of the Ram was given to Daniel, until work began on the
temple was 12-1/2 years. At this time they constructed the foun-
dation and the altar, and then work on the temple stopped.
This is a parallel period of time to the boyhood of Jesus and
to the birthing of the second Manchild. Here is a brief diagram of
this parallel. It has to do with temple-building.

Thus the laying of the foundation of the temple and the build-
ing of the altar would not only parallel the time when Jesus went
into the temple at age 12-1/2, but it also parallels the time when
the foundation of the heavenly temple is laid and its altar built –
2012. This could possibly represent bringing the future bride of
Christ into the temple condition (heavenly), but it definitely could
not represent the time of the wedding because the Manchild would
have to be 13 years old before he had the right to marry.
However, there are some hints in scripture regarding the
prospective bride of Christ which may shed light on this elusive
subject. Let’s read it from the KJV. Isaiah 26:20:
“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers,
and shut the doors about thee: hide thyself as it
were for a little moment, until the indignation be
overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his
place to punish the inhabitants of the world for their
iniquity.”
The “My people” are those who had become part of the
corporate Manchild (the prospective bride of Christ). It is as if
God were speaking to her and telling her to come into her “cham-
bers.” The Hebrew word here translated “chambers” is cheder.
Genesius’ Hebrew Lexicon defines cheder as a “bridal cham-
ber.” It has a Gematria value of 212. (It is common practice in
Gematria that zeros are often dropped without changing the meaning
of the number – thus 212 is simply the shortened form of 2012.)
The same word cheder is used in Song of Solomon 1:4: “The
King hath brought me into his chambers.” And it has refer-

62 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

ence to the same event – when the bride is taken into the bridal
chamber.
But Isaiah’s description of this event holds a secret – found
in its Gematria. When the bride is invited into the bridal chamber,
she is instructed to
“Hide thyself as it were for a little moment until
the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord
cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of
the earth for their iniquity.”
The total Gematria for this statement is 2012.
The second Manchild will be 13 years old on Rosh Hashanah
2012. A wedding could legally take place after that date. So it is
entirely possible that the prospective bride could be taken into the
bridal chamber between Rosh Hashanah and December 31, 2012.
If so, it is an event in the heavenly realm and would not necessarily
be known to man.
The meaning of the name of Isaiah’s second son, Maher-
Shalal-Hash-Baz, becomes apparent. When Jesus is joined with
his bride, they, together, will be the agent through which the king-
doms of this world will be overthrown.
The name “Spoil quickly, Plunder speedily” appears to
imply a short work of the destruction of man’s governments –
short in comparison to the 6,000 years of man’s rulership. The 21
years suggested for this accomplishment seems long to us, just as
the 21 days that Daniel had to wait for Gabriel to come to reveal
the meaning of the vision apparently seemed long to him. But for
Daniel (Israel), captive in Babylon (man’s governments) it was

Building Zerubbabel’s Temple 63

the hope of deliverance. After Gabriel explained the vision, he
said to Daniel (Israel):
“As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest,
and then at the end of the days you will rise to
receive your allotted inheritance.” (Daniel 12:13)
That inheritance for Israel will be a new marriage covenant.
When Jesus took his power as King on David’s throne (Rosh
Hashanah 1999) he began the preliminaries for the overthrow of
man’s governments as is suggested in Psalm 2. However, the
organizing of man’s governments into One World Government
must take place before the overthrow is fully accomplished. Rev-
elation 17:12 tells us that when this confederate government is
established, “They will make war against the Lamb, but the
Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and
King of kings, and with him will be his called, chosen, and
faithful followers.” The same concept – of the union of Jesus
and his bride taking place before the overthrow of man’s govern-
ments – is suggested in Psalm 149:
“Let the saints rejoice in this honor and sing for
joy on their beds (condition of rest). May the praise
of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword
in their hands, to inflict vengence on the nations
and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings
with fetters of iron, to carry out the sentence writ-
ten against them. This is the glory of all the saints.”
This is shown as a 21-year period, from 2012 to 2033, with
Ezekiel 38 completing that span of time.

As mentioned previously, a 3-1/2 year period is set as the

ending of the 33-1/2 year span during the time when this over-
throw is in process. The 3-1/2 year period was pictured by the
co-regency of Solomon with David – David the conquering King
and Solomon the peaceful King. Thus a 3-1/2 year period will
exist between the autumn of 2029 and the spring of 2033 in which
Israel will be brought into a peaceful condition. This is beautifully
pictured by the words of Isaiah (16:4-5):
“The oppressor will come to an end, and destruc-
tion will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the
land. In love a throne will be established; in faith-
fulness a man (King Jesus) will sit on it – one from
the house of David – one who in judging seeks jus-
tice and speeds the cause of righteousness.”
This “one from the house of David” is the antitypical
Solomon during his 3-1/2 year co-regency with David.
This 3-1/2 year period between the autumn of 2029 and the

Building Zerubbabel’s Temple 65

spring of 2033 is beautifully pictured by the words of Isaiah 40:1
“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak
to the heart of Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that
her hard service has been completed, that her sin
has been paid for, that she has received from the
Lord’s hand double for all her sins.”
The Hebrew text for “Speak to the heart of Jerusalem”
has a Gematria value of 930. The number is beautiful. God’s love
in the Greek text of the New Testament is agape, and it has a
Gematria value of 93. It is God’s love speaking heart to heart to
Jerusalem. But in the Gematria we find a date for this event. “Speak
to the heart of Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard
service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for”
has a total Gematria value of 2029. Isaiah, in chapter 12 verses
1-3 described the same event this way.
“In that day you (Israel) will say: I will praise you
O Lord. Although you were angry with me, your
anger has turned away and you have comforted
me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not
be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and
my song; he has become my salvation. With joy you
will draw water from the wells of salvation.”
The prophet Zechariah spoke of the time when the over-
throw of the nations (pictured by the rule of David) will come to a
time of peace (pictured by the rule of Solomon).
“I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and
the war-horses from Jerusalem, and the battle bow

66 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

will be broken. He will proclaim peace to the
nations. His rule will extend from sea to sea and
from the river to the ends of the earth.”
Confusion in understanding comes when we fail to recog-
nize the two-fold aspect of Jesus’ return. First he comes to take
his bride to the “chamber” – the cheder. He comes as a thief,
taking her (unknown to the world) to his bridal chamber. How-
ever, after the wedding, he comes with her to turn back Israel’s
enemies and to set up his Kingdom – Divine Government. This
second aspect is not as a thief, but is open and obvious to all the
world. In this phase of his Kingship, his Queen is with him. In
Revelation 19, immediately following the wedding, she comes with
him, to save Israel and conquer her enemies.
“I saw heaven standing open and there before me
was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful
and True. With justice he judges and makes war.
His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are
many crowns. He has a name written on him that
no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a
robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of
God. The armies of heaven (his bride) were follow-
ing him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine
linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a
sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.
He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads
the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God
Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this
name writen: ��������������������������������”

Building Zerubbabel’s Temple 67

Understanding this two-phased aspect of Jesus’ return is
not new. I would like to quote from the pen of A. O. Hudson, a
christian author residing in England. He wrote this in 1972.
“We are left, then, with the plain fact that in Daniel the
coming of the Son of Man ‘with the clouds of heaven’
takes place after the Ancient of Days has pronounced
judgment on the beasts and after the people of the saints
of the Most High have taken their places on their thrones
to observe the execution of that judgment. As the chap-
ter proceeds, we find that the kingdom, and dominion
is given to the ‘Son of Man’ and to the ‘saints’ simulta-
neously. Both receive the kingdom: both rule and exert
authority in association one with the other.”
We have observed that at the end of 6,000 years of rulership
of man, Jesus took his power as King on David’s throne. This
was Rosh Hashanah 1999. This was 2,000 years after the birth of
the first Manchild. At this time the birth of the second Manchild
took place. The first Manchild was Jesus, and when he was
12-1/2 years old he went into the temple. That was the year A.D.
12. The second Manchild, 2,000 years later, goes into the temple
condition (heavenly temple). This is the year 2012. Twenty one
years after Jesus went into the temple, he finalized the divorce
between God and Israel. Thus the entire period in each case is 21
+ 12 years (actually a total of 33-1/2 years because these dates
begin in the autumn and end in the spring).
The prophecy says that this first Manchild would be named
“Immanuel.” Yet, in 2 B.C., the child that was born was named

68 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

Jesus. His name Immanuel is his name when he takes his power
as King on David’s throne, Rosh Hashanah 1999. The prophecy
given to Isaiah regarding his first son said, “A virgin shall con-
ceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel.” The
Gematria value for this statement is 2112 (the combination of 21
and 12)). At the end of the 12 and 21 years, pictured by Isaiah’s
second son, Israel will be re-married to God. Isaiah again proph-
esied this re-marriage. He said:
“You no longer shall be called Forsaken; nor shall
your land any longer be called Desolate; but you
shall be called My Delight is in Her.” (Isaiah 62:4)
This, too, has a Gematria value of 2112. Thus the two events
– the antitypical first son and the antitypical second son of Isaiah –
each bear the number 2112. However, we could also combine
the 12 and the 21 the other way, and obtain the number 1221 –
which was the sequence in which it actually occurred in the life of
Jesus. In searching for this number I was absolutely awed and
amazed with what the scriptures present.
The pivotal point between the 12 and the 21 years is when
Jesus, the first Manchild, went into his Father’s house. So, it is
reasonable to suggest that this same pivotal point would apply to
the second Manchild. The number 1221 appears in Isaiah 7:15
regarding the first Manchild. It was prophesied of him:
“...curds and honey will he eat when he knows
enough to reject the wrong and choose the right,
but...”
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 1221.

Building Zerubbabel’s Temple 69

But Zechariah, after telling of the building of Zerubbabel’s
temple, looks into the future and tells of the building of the heav-
enly temple. He says:
“Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and
he will branch out from his place and build the
temple of the Lord. It is he who will build the temple
of the Lord, and he will be clothed with majesty
and will sit and rule on his throne.” (Zechariah 6:13)
Again, the underlined portion has a Gematria value of 1221.
This is a strong clue that the juncture between the 12 and the 21
years showed Jesus in the temple (his Father’s house).
Zechariah is talking about Zerubbabel’s temple, which rep-
resents the heavenly temple. He goes on to say:
“This is what the Lord says: You who now hear
these words spoken by the prophets who were there
when the foundation was laid for the house of the
Lord Almighty, let your hands be strong so that the
temple may be built.”
Again, the underlined portion has a Gematria value of 1221.
Actually the Hebrew text here is quite different from the English
translation, but of course, it is the Hebrew text from which we get
the Gematria.
It becomes obvious that the number 1221 is associated with
the building of the heavenly temple.
The final 3-1/2 years of this 33-1/2-year span are for the
antitypical joining of Solomon with King David. As we have seen,
both Solomon and David are a type of Jesus Christ. First comes

70 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

the war-like reign of David, picturing Jesus conquering man’s gov-
ernments; then comes Solomon, picturing the “Prince of Peace.”
But, just as there was a 3-1/2 year overlap of the reigns of David
and Solomon, so also will there be a 3-1/2 year overlap of the
reigns of the antitypical David and Solomon. This would place the
beginning of the peaceable kingdom in the year 2029. This is quite
obviously the time of Israel’s returning to God in belief, during
which they will be saved from their enemies.
Going back into the books of Kings and Chronicles to the
time of this union of David and Solomon, we find subtle evidence
of this prophetic 3-1/2 years that will begin in the year 2029.
Here are a few of them.
I Chronicles 29:25: (The Lord) “highly exalted
Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on
him royal splendor.”
This has a Gematria value of 2029, showing us the year in
which this will begin. The previous verse, I Chronicles 29:24 reads:
“All of King David’s sons pledged their submission
to King Solomon.”
This also has a Gematria value of 2029.
In I Chronicles 22:9 we have the record of God’s instruc-
tions to David concerning the fact that he was not to be the one to
build the first temple, but his son Solomon would have that honor.
The record says:
“But you will have a son who will be a man of peace
and rest, and I will give him rest from all his
enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon,
Building Zerubbabel’s Temple 71
and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his
reign. He is the one who will build a house for my
name. He will be my son, and I will be his father.
And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over
Israel forever.”
The portion of this scripture that is underlined has a Gematria
value of 2029.
The prophet Jeremiah (33:15-16) gave us a beautiful proph-
ecy concerning the time when the antitypical Solomon will begin
to rule. He said:
“In those days and at that time I will make a righ-
teous Branch sprout from David’s line; he will do
what is just and right in the land. In those days
Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety.
This is the name by which it will be called: The Lord
Our Righteousness.”
This beautifully describes the period between the autumn of
2029 and the spring of 2033. Then Zechariah described the con-
ditions beginning in 2033 and proceeding to the end of the Millen-
nium. Zechariah 9:10:
“He will proclaim peace to the nations. His rule
will extend from sea to sea and from the river to
the ends of the earth.”
The 3-1/2 years during which the peaceful reign of the
antitypical Solomon is co-regent with the warlike reign of antitypical
David is the time when Israel is being taught to believe. The
marriage of Jesus and his bride will bring forth children. These

72 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

children will be the faithful ancient fathers of Israel – Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob (and others such as Moses, etc.) who will be
resurrected and make themselves known to Israel. They will teach
Israel to believe, and she will be taught to put aside her weapons
of war and depend, in faith, upon God to be a “wall” of protec-
tion for her. This was prophesied by Isaiah (29:23-24):
“Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed
Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, ‘Jacob
shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now
turn pale; but when he (Jacob-Israel) sees his
(Abraham’s) children (modern day Israelites), the
work of My hands, in his midst, they will sanctify
My name; indeed they will sanctify the Holy One of
Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
And those who err in mind will know the truth, and
those who criticize will accept instruction.’ ” (NAS)
Jesus prophesied of this time when the ancient fathers will
return and take a place of authority in Israel. He said:
“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth,
when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all
the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you your-
selves thrown out.”
Apparently these ancient fathers will take over the rulership
of Israel and will teach the people to trust in God. Isaiah proph-
esied concerning these teachers (30:19-21):
“O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will
weep no more. How gracious he will be when you

Building Zerubbabel’s Temple 73

cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer
you. Although the Lord gave you the bread of
adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers
will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you
will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to
the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you,
saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”
During this 3-1/2 year period, and probably at its ending
year, God will re-marry Israel. Of this event the prophet Hosea
said:
“Therefore, behold, I will lure her and bring her to
the wilderness and speak to her heart. And I will
give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of
Achor for a door of hope. And she shall answer
there as in the days of her youth, as in the day when
she came up out of the land of Egypt. And at that
day, says Jehovah, you shall call Me, ‘My Hus-
band.’” (KJV-2 Version)
In the days of her youth she answered and said “I do.” that
was when Moses told the people all that God had required of
them, and they said “All these things will we do.” Thus Israel
entered into a marriage covenant with God. But she was an
unfaithful wife, and went after other gods, and so, after giving her
plenty of time to repent and change her ways, she was finally
divorced in A.D. 33 – her marriage covenant was “nailed to the
cross.”
But God still loves her, and will receive her back again when
she truly believes from the heart. This is why Isaiah prophesied
74 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium
(40:1) “Speak to the heart of Jerusalem.” (Gematria value 930
– the same as “Agape” in Greek.) The prophet Isaiah describes
the time when she will be taken back again, and will enter into a
new marriage covenant.
“For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for
Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteous-
ness thereof go forth as brightness (brightness has a
Gematria value of 930), and the salvation thereof as
a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy
righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt
be called by a new name, which the mouth of the
Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory
in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the
hand of my God. Thou shalt no more be termed
Forsaken; neither shall thy land anymore be termed
Desolate; but thou shalt be called Hephzibah (My
delight is in her), and thy land Beulah (Married); for
the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be
married.” (Isaiah 62:1-4)
Following this marriage, there are children born also, and
the Bible beautifully portrays the loving intimcy of this child-
raising process. Here is how Isaiah saw it in vision.
“As soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her
children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to
bring forth, saith the Lord. Shall I cause to bring
forth, and shut the womb, saith thy God. Rejoice
ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that
love her; rejoice for joy with her all ye that mourn

Building Zerubbabel’s Temple 75

for her, that ye may suck, and be satisfied with the
breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out,
and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
For thus saith the Lord, Behold I will extend peace
to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like
a flowing stream: then shall ye suck and be satis-
fied, and ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be
dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother
comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be
comforted in Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 66:8-13)
Isaiah goes on to speak of Israel dwelling in peace and abun-
dance:
“He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in
the ground, and the food that comes from the land
will be rich and plentiful. In that day your cattle
will graze in broad meadows...”
But, when all this is happening for Israel, Isaiah said,
“In the day of the great slaughter (the slaughter of
man’s governments), when the towers fall, streams
of water will flow on every high mountain and
every lofty hill (portraying the life-giving waters of truth
that will be available).”
On 9-11-01 the icons of those “towers” fell – but during
the 3-1/2 years of the co-regency of the antitypical David and
Solomon, the real towers of world power will fall, and in its place
streams of life-giving water (truth) will flow from the mountain of
Christ’s Kingdom.

76 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

Isaiah 30 through 32 tell, in pictorial language, the over-
throw of man’s governments and the setting up of a peaceful
government in Jerusalem. It will be the work of the antitypical
David and the antitypical Solomon during the 3-1/2 years of their
co-regency. The destruction of man’s governments is pictured thus:
“As a lion growls, a great lion over his prey – and
though a whole band of shepherds is called together
against him, he is not frightened by their shouts or
disturbed by their clamor – so the Lord Almighty
will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver
it, he will pass over and rescue it.” (Isaiah 31:4-5)
And chapter 32 begins with the announcement: “See, a king,
will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule in justice.” He
will bring in righteous government. This is the work of the Millen-
nium, but it begins during the 3-1/2 years of the conversion of
Israel and saving them from their enemies. This transition of 3-1/2
years will be the beginning of that which will end, as Isaiah proph-
esied:
“...the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile
field becomes a forest. Justice will dwell in the fer-
tile field. The fruit of righteousness will be peace;
the effect of righteousness will be quietness and
confidence forever.” (Isaiah 32:15-16)
The whole period of 33-1/2 years, from Rosh Hashanah
1999 to the spring of 2033 will be a time during which Jesus takes
his rightful place as ruler on David’s throne. And during that time,
he will come for his bride and take her to the heavenly wedding.

Building Zerubbabel’s Temple 77

This will be followed by the bringing of Israel into a place of
repentence where she will lay down her weapons of war, and will
come in full faith, trusting in God to deliver her. God will indeed
deliver her. Not only deliver her, but He will re-marry her, in an
everlasting covenant.

The Completion of the Temple
We know that the building of Zerubbabel’s temple pre-
figured the building of the heavenly temple. This is obvious from
the statements in the book of Haggai.
We have also seen that the date 2012 is a parallel with not
only the time when Jesus went into the temple at age 12-1/2, but
it is also a parallel to the time when the foundation and altar of
Zerubbabel’s temple were constructed.
Then there was a period of 17-1/2 years when work on the
temple was stopped. After work was resumed on the temple, it
took 3-1/2 more years to complete it. The years parallel the life of
the first Manchild – Jesus – and also parallel the years of the
second Manchild – Divine Government – as is represented in Jesus
and his bride.
The building work had stopped after the construction of the
foundation and the altar.
It was 17-1/2 years later, in the 2nd year of Darius I, that
God spoke again to Haggai and said:
“Give careful thought to the day when the founda-
tion of the Lord’s temple was laid – give careful
thought.” (Haggai 2:18)
God was indicating to Haggai that it was a very significant
day. But now, nearly 17-1/2 years had passed, and God spoke to
Haggai again (on the 21st day of the 7th month in the 2nd year of

The Completion of the Temple 79

Darius I) – (Autumn 520 B.C.) – “Be strong, all you people of
the land, declares the Lord, and work.” (Work on the temple.)
Then God proceeded with a description of the events that
will happen in the parallel time, beginning in the autumn of A.D.
2029.
“A little while I will once more shake the heavens
and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake
all nations, and the desired of all nations will come,
and I will fill this house (the antitypical temple includ-
ing the bride of Jesus and the bride of God) with glory,
says the Lord Almighty. The silver is mine and the
gold is mine, declares the Lord Almighty ... and in
this place I will grant peace...” (Haggai 2:6-7)
Then, in less than two months, the actual work on the temple
began again. God said to Haggai (2:18):
“From this day on – from this twenty fourth day of
the ninth month, give careful thought: Is there yet
any seed left in the barn? Until this day the vine
(bride of Christ) and the fig tree (Israel – bride of
God) the pomgranate and the olive tree have not
borne fruit. From this day on I will bless you.”
This was the autumn of 520 B.C. It is clearly pointing to the
autumn of A.D. 2029. Notice this parallels the beginning of the
3-1/2 years of the co-regency of the war-like antitypical David
with the peaceable antitypical Solomon. It is 3-1/2 years during
which Israel pledges her wedding vows to God. The whole of
Psalm 119 is the expression of those wedding vows. Israel never

80 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

before had promised such things to God. And never in history
have they ever kept such promises. But the whole of Psalm 119 is
Israel pouring out her heart to God in dedication.
Picturing the beginning of those 3-1/2 years, God gave to
Haggai his final word. Haggai 2:23:
“On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will take
you, my servant Zerubbabel (Jesus) declares the
Lord, and I will make you like my signet ring, for I
have chosen you, declares the Lord Almighty.”
It happened typically in the autumn of 520 B.C., and it will
happen antitypically in the autumn of A.D. 2029.
This day – the 24th day of the 9th month of the second year
of Darius I – begins the final 3-1/2 year period of the antitype, in
which God saves Israel from her enemies. Zechariah 2:4-5:
“Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of
the great number of men and livestock in it. And I
myself will be a wall of fire around it, declares the
Lord, and I will be its glory within.”
Then in verse 10 the prophecy continues:
“Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am
coming, and I will live among you, declares the Lord.
Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that
day and will become my people ... The Lord will
inherit Judah as his portion in the Holy Land and
will again choose Jerusalem.”
Notice the time when work first began on the temple
(17-1/2 years earlier) equates with the time when Jesus went into
The Completion of the Temple 81
the temple (the Father’s house). It also corresponds to the time
when the second Manchild goes into the temple condition – spring
2012. Yet at that time the whole temple was not yet complete –
only the foundation and the altar were built. But it appears that
work begins on the rest of the antitypical temple in the autumn
2029, and continues until its dedication in the spring of A.D. 2033.
So what is the final building work?
I think the answer can be found in the first three chapters of
Jeremiah. In chapter 2, verse 2 God is telling Jeremiah that he
remembers when Israel became his bride:
“I remember the devotion of your youth (their vow
at Sinai), how as a bride you loved me and followed
me through the desert, through a land not sown.
Israel was holy to the Lord.”
Then verses 4 through the remainder of chapter 2, God is
telling Israel how unfaithful they have been as a bride. Such as
verse 32 which says:
“Why do my people say, We are free to roam, we
will come to you no more. Does a maiden forget
her jewelry, or a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet
my people have forgotten me.”
Then God spells it out in plain language:
“Look up to the barren heights and see. Is there
any place where you have not been ravished? By
the roadside you sat waiting for lovers, sat like a
nomad in the desert. You have defiled the land with
your prostitution and wickedness. Therefore the

82 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

showers have been withheld, and no spring rains
have fallen. Yet you have the brazen look of a pros-
titute; you refuse to blush with shame.”
But God is looking for repentance from his unfaithful wife. In
verse 12 God says to Israel:
“Return, faithless Israel, declares the Lord. I will
frown on you no longer, for I am merciful, declares
the Lord. I will not be angry forever. Only acknowl-
edge your guilt – you have rebelled against the Lord
your God, you have scattered your favors to
foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have
not obeyed me.”
All God asks of them is to “acknowledge their guilt.”
Where have we heard that before? Hosea 5:15 “Then I will go
back to my place until they admit their guilt.” Then the next
verse prophesies of the time when they will return and admit their
guilt – and Hosea says it will be “two days, and on the third
day” when they will be restored: that is, re-married. Two “days”
– or 2,000 years – from the time when the divorce was finalized
will be in the spring of 2033. In fact, the statement: “For he has
torn, and he will heal us. He has stricken, and he will bind us
up. After two days he will bring us to life. In the third day...”
has a Gematria value of 2033, giving us the date when Israel will
be restored to her position as God’s bride.
Now, the indication is, as we have seen, that although the
bride of Jesus is complete and begins the heavenly temple condi-
tion, 2,000 years from the time Jesus went into the temple (A.D.

The Completion of the Temple 83

12) paralleling the event of the spring of 537 B.C., it is not the
completing of the temple.It was the laying of the foundation and
building the altar. The completion and the dedication began
17-1/2 years later – the 3-1/2 year period from autumn 520 B.C.
to spring of 516 B.C.* Since this parallels the time when Israel
comes to believe, confesses her marriage vows, and becomes
re-married to God, it logically follows that Israel, converted and
re-married to God, will be the completion and the dedication of
the temple.
If this is true, then that temple is composed of “spiritual
Israel” and “natural Israel” – the bride of Jesus and the bride of
God. It would logically explain the prophecy of Micah 4:2:
“The Law (Divine Government) will go out from Zion
(heavenly part of the temple) and the word of the Lord
from Jerusalem (earthly part of the temple).”
The heavenly phase of that government will be the founda-
tion of the temple and the altar. The earthly phase of that govern-
ment will be the remaining structure of the building. The heavenly
phase would be built in the spring of 2012, and 17-1/2 years later
* There is debate among chronologers as to the date of the comple-
tion and dedication of Zerubbabel’s temple. Footnotes in the New Interna-
tional Version Bible place this event in the spring of 516 B.C. McClintock
& Strong, Volume X p. 251 places the dedication of the temple in the spring
of 516 B.C. Placing the date correctly is dependent upon the years of the
reign of Darius I, which are held in question by some researchers. Some
place the first year of his reign immediately following the death of
Cambyses; some place the first year of Darius I after the brief usurped
reign of Smerdis; and yet others assign an accession year to Darius I.

84 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

work would begin on the remaining structure; and the dedication
would be in the spring of 2033. Perhaps it should be called the
“New Jerusalem Temple.”
Thus the antitype of the construction of Zerubbabel’s temple
will precisely parallel the first construction, and the time between
the two is 2,548 years.

The Completion of the Temple 85

B Cyrus entered Babylon October 29, 539 B.C. Cyrus’ official year 1
began in Nisan 538 B.C. Thus his decree to rebuild the temple
would have been in Nisan 538 B.C. In the first year of Darius the
Mede (Autumn 539) Daniel prays for the restoration of Jerusalem
because he knew the 70 years for Babylon had expired. Those 70
years for Babylon began with the defeat of the Assyrians in the
autumn of 609 B.C. However, the Israelite’s return trip would have
taken about five months, then they settled in their towns and
apparently had not begun the work on the temple. The third chapter
of Ezra tells us they began building the altar and foundation in the
spring of 537 B.C.

C Work on the temple resumed on the 24th day of the 9th month in
the 2nd year of Darius I, 520 B.C.

D Completion and dedication of the temple on the 3rd day of Adar in

the 6th year of Darius I, 516 B.C.

When I saw the number of years between the type and the
antitype, I was puzzled. It was a number with which I was not
familiar. Why 2,548 years? So I checked to see where this num-
ber appears in the Gematria of the scriptures. The answer was
absolutely amazing! It points directly to the time of the completion
of the New Jerusalem Temple. Our familiar text in Haggai 2:8-9:
“The silver is mine and the gold is mine, declares
the Lord Almighty. The glory of this present house
will be greater than the glory of the former house,
says the Lord Almighty, and in this place I will grant
peace, declares the Lord Almighty.”
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 2548, bring-
ing us to the time when King Jesus (represented by Zerubbabel)
rules in his Kingdom.
In Isaiah 2 we find a prophecy of the time when the New
Jerusalem Temple will be established in the earth, and blessings

86 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

will flow out from Jerusalem to all the earth. Amazingly, the num-
ber 2548 appears three times in one verse. Because they overlap
for emphasis, I will show this verse three times and underline the
phrases that add to 2548 separately. It will be obvious to the
reader how they overlap. Isaiah 2:2:
“In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple
will be established as chief among the mountains;
it will be raised above the hills and all nations will
stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, Come,
let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the
temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his
ways so that we may walk in his paths. The law will
go out from Zion, and the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem.”

“In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple

will be established as chief among the mountains;
it will be raised above the hills and all nations will
stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, Come,
let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the
temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his
ways so that we may walk in his paths. The law will
go out from Zion, and the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem.”

“In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple

will be established as chief among the mountains;
it will be raised above the hills and all nations will
stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, Come,

The Completion of the Temple 87

let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the
temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his
ways so that we may walk in his paths. The law will
go out from Zion, and the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem.”
So, the portions of this scripture in which we find 2548 three
times becomes this:
“...as chief among the mountains; it will be raised
above the hills and all nations will stream to it. Many
peoples will come and say, Come, let us go up to
the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God
of Jacob. He will teach us his ways...”
That temple will be composed of Christ and his bride, and
God and His bride (Israel). The completion of that temple will be
2548 years from the completion of Zerubbabel’s temple. 2548
years from the building of the foundation and altar brings us to
2012. And 2548 years from the completion and dedication of
Zerubbabel’s temple brings us to 2033. The confirmation of the
years is its exact correspondence to the first advent of Jesus, the
Pattern Son.

Evidence for A.D. 2033
Thus far much has been said about the year A.D. 2033.
When considering dates that are yet future we don’t really know
what will actually happen or when it will happen. It is a process of
taking evidence from the “known” and projecting it into specula-
tion of the “unknown.” Sometimes this can be an accurate
analogy, but most often not, because somewhere along the way
our own preconceived ideas sneak in to attempt to “balance” the
equation. My analogies are not exempt from this danger. How-
ever, along the way there can be found evidences which can
either support or wreck our theories. Thus it is best to set theories
aside until we have examined the available evidence.
One of the things that is provable is the life-span of Jesus
here on earth. This is a necessary starting place upon which to
observe type and antitype, and time parallels. He was the Pattern
Son. His life here on earth was a specific length of time for a
specific purpose.
Yes, I know there is still much controversy among some as
to the dates of his birth and death; and I will not take the space
here (and bore the reader) with all the evidences that I have brought
forth in my previous books, showing the historical, astronomical,
and Biblical authority for my conviction that Jesus was born Sep-
tember 29, 2 B.C. and died April 3, A.D. 33 –both of which are
according to the Julian Calendar.
But I will attempt to show some fantastic analogies based on

those dates. First, an overview of the time-line will be helpful in
comprehending the whole picture before concentrating on one
item within it.
Probably the greatest value of the overview is the realization
of the 33-1/2 year spans between the major events. It is a reality
that has been overlooked by most chronologers, yet is absolutely
vital to an understanding of the time-line.
When Jesus came to earth to pay the price for the sin of
Adam, he was not only the “second Adam” (in comparison to
the first Adam), but he was also the “Pattern Son” (in comparison
to the collecting of the Sons of God, his body, his bride) at the
time of his return. Each of these is a 33-1/2 year period.

The 2,000-year span from Jesus’ death in A.D. 33 would

bring us to A.D. 2033. Do we have anything in the scriptures
verifying that 2,000-year span of time and its ending date 2033?
Yes! Let’s begin with one that is so obvious it nearly jumps out at
us. Hosea 5:14-15:

Evidence for A.D. 2033 91

“For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great
lion to Judah (both houses of Israel). I will tear them
to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with
no one to rescue them. Then I will go back to my
place until they admit their guilt. And they will seek
my face; in their misery they will earnestly seek me.”
On the afternoon of April 3, A.D. 33 Jesus finalized the
divorce of God from Israel, when he breathed his last breath and
said “It is finished.” Within 37 years the people were stripped
from their homes, their city burned and their beautiful temple was
literally plowed under. The people who were left were torn from
their homeland, as a lion tears its prey, and sent into all nations in
an effort to destroy their identity forever.
Just as Hosea had prophesied, Israel was torn as by a great
lion; and scattered throughout the earth “until they admit their
guilt.” Some have returned, but as of now – summer of 2010 –
they have not yet admitted their guilt. But it was prophesied by
Zechariah (12:10):
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and sup-
plication. They will look on me, the one they have
pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns
for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one
grieves for a firstborn son.”
When they admit their guilt, then will come the great healing
process that Hosea went on to prophesy in chapter 6.
“Come, let us return to the Lord. He has injured us

92 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he
will revive us; on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowl-
edge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises, (the dawn of the Millen-
nium) he will appear; he will come to us like the
winter rains, like the spring rains that water the
earth.”
According to this prophecy, God will begin to heal Israel
and bind up her wounds after two days – after 2,000 years. And
on the third day they will be restored – obviously in the morning of
that “day” because the prophecy is describing a “sun rise.” Two
thousand years (two days) from the time the divorce was finalized
brings us to Passover 2033.
The math is simple, but there is hidden within the text an
amazing confirmation of the time. Let’s take another look.
“He has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us; he
has injured us, but he will bind up our wounds.
After two days he will revive us; on the third day he
will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
Amazingly, the portion of this promise that is underlined has
a Gematria value of 2033, pin-pointing the exact year; and con-
firming the exact time given us in the surface text. It doesn’t get
much plainer than that.
But this is not an isololated case. Let’s look further. Isaiah
61:8-9.
“In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an

Evidence for A.D. 2033 93

everlasting covenant (new marriage covenant) with
them. Their descendants will be known among the
nations and their offspring among the peoples. All
who see them will be acknowledged that they are a
people the Lord has blessed.”
The underlined portion of this promise has a Gematria value
of 2033.
Isaiah waxed eloquent when speaking of the day when Jesus
would sit on the throne of David and gather Israel together and
heal their wounds and exalt them to a place of authority among
the nations. Isaiah 11:10-12:
“In that day the Root of Jesse (the antitypical David
– Jesus Christ) will stand as a banner for the peoples;
the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest
will be glorious. In that day the Lord will reach out
his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that
is left of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt,
from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from
Babylonia, from Hamath, and from the islands of
the sea. He will raise a banner for the nations and
gather the exiles of Israel; he will
assemble the scattered people of Judah from the
four quarters of the earth.”
The underlined portion of this beautiful prophecy has a
Gematria value of 2033.
Jeremiah wrote of the time when God re-marries Israel. God
calls Israel with an invitation of love. Jeremiah 3:12-18:

94 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

“Return faithless Israel, declares the Lord, I will
frown on you no longer, for I am merciful, declares
the Lord, I will not be angry forever. Only acknowl-
edge your guilt – you have rebelled against the Lord
your God, you have scattered your favors to
foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have
not obeyed me, declares the Lord. Return, faithless
people, declares the Lord, for I am your husband. I
will choose you – one from a town and two from a
clan – and bring you to Zion.... At that time they
will call Jerusalem the Throne of the Lord, and all
nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name
of the Lord. No longer will they follow the stub-
bornness of their evil hearts. In those days, the
house of Judah will join with the house of Israel...”
Amazingly, the time for this event is encoded within the proph-
ecy. The underlined portion adds to 2033.
The 62nd chapter of Isaiah has long been known to be a
prophecy concerning the re-marriage of God to Israel. I am aware
that some who read the Bible suggest that this is a prophecy con-
cerning Jesus and his bride, however, within it are a couple of
clues which identify the bride as Israel. Verse 4 says:
“No longer will they call you Deserted, or name
your land Desolate.”
This could not possibly be the bride of Christ because she
was never left desolate or deserted. On the contrary, just before
Jesus left his disciples he promised them, “I will never leave you
or desert you.” Israel, on the other hand, had been Desolate and

Evidence for A.D. 2033 95

Deserted. These are terms applied to a divorced woman. But
God, through the hand of His prophet Isaiah, is promising to take
Israel back and marry her again.
Verse 4: “But you will be called Hephzibah (my
delight is in her), and your land Beulah (married).”

Verse 11-12: Raise a banner for the nations. The

Lord has made proclamation to the ends of the earth:
Say to the Daughter of Zion, See, your Savior comes:
see, his reward is with him and his recompense
accompanies him. They will be called the Holy
People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be
called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.”
The time when Israel comes back into this kind of relation-
ship with God is clearly given to us in the Gematria. The under-
lined portion adds to 2033.
But the long-looked-for year 2033 will not be the end of the
story. It is the glorious beginning – the dawn of Earth’s Great
Millennium. The sun is just blazing over the horizon, and casting
its brilliance over the waiting earth.

For a magnificent description of

God’s remarriage to Israel please
read Isaiah 54 and 55.

A Magnificent
Prophetic Sequence
In recent years, it has become a popular belief that the book
of Psalms has a prophetic sequence, in which the number of the
Psalm equates with the number of the year. Such as: Psalm 99
would have reference to the year 1999, or, Psalm 104 would be
prophetic of the year 2004. Sometimes it takes a bit of a stretch
to make it fit. However, there does appear to be a prophetic
sequence in the numbering of the Psalms that is so obvious that it
requires no “stretch” and strongly suggests a “master-mind” in its
compilation. These prophetic and devotional songs were written
over a vast period of time, with no particular sequence in their
composition. However, the compiling of them into a book (or
books) appears to have been the work of One who knows and
understands the sequence of events in the Plan of God. If it were
men who put them together in their present order, then it becomes
apparent that there was an Almighty hand guiding them.
Psalm 93 is the first Psalm that begins by saying, “The Lord
reigns.” This theme continues through Psalm 113. Within these
twenty one Psalms, the concept of “The Lord reigns” (some-
times not in those exact words) occurs twelve times. These twenty
one Psalms appear to be descriptive of the period from 1999 to
2033 (a 33-1/2 year period), ending with a birth of children –
apparently the same birth as is described in Isaiah 66.
Psalm 113 closes with this section about the birth: “He settles

A Magnificent Prophetic Sequence 97

the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of chil-
dren.” This is apparently the same birth described in Isaiah 66:
“Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all
you who love her; rejoice greatly with her all you
who mourn over her. For you will nurse and be sat-
isfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink
deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance.
For this is what the Lord says: I will extend peace
to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a
flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on
her arm, and dandled on her knees. As a mother
comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you
will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
Within this section (Psalm 93 - 113) we find a beautiful
description of the birthing of Divine Government and its growth
into full authority over all the governments of earth. It is found in
Psalm 110, and begins with this powerful declaration:
“The Lord (Father) said unto my Lord (Son), Sit thou
at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy
footstool.”
This obviously describes a time-progression – a period of
time from a beginning to an accomplishment.
In Revelation 12:5-6 it said:
“She gave birth to a son, a Manchild, who will
rule all nations with an iron scepter. And her child
was caught up to God and to his throne.”
In both texts we find the Son sitting in a place of authority at

98 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

the right hand of the Father. Both statements appear to be
describing a condition where the enemies come into subjection,
but apparently still exist – he has conquered them, but they are
not yet his friends.
This appears to be the same time frame as Revelation
17:12-13:
“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the
Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords,
and King of kings: and they that are with him are
called and chosen and faithful.”
One of the obvious facts is that Jesus’ bride is with him when
he overcomes the ten kings (probably One World Government
which has divided the world into ten areas). And we have seen
that possibly she becomes his bride in the autumn of 2012. This
narrows the window of time for the conquering of the ten kings of
earth.
In verse 2 of this 110th Psalm we find the statement:
“The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of
Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.”
There is some debate here whether the “rod of thy strength”
has reference to the bride of Christ, or if it solely applies to the
“scepter” of Jesus. In either case, it is telling us the same thing
that the prophet Micah said: “The Law shall go forth from Zion,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
Note that it says “rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.”
At the time when Jesus and his bride subdue the kings of this
world, they are still enemies of righteous Divine Government.

A Magnificent Prophetic Sequence 99

Verse 3: “Thy people shall be willing in the day of
thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb
of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.”
The “morning” referred to is the dawning of the Millennial
Day. Zechariah calls it a day in which it will be neither light nor
dark, but at evening it will be light. But those who become “Thy
people” – that is, those who repent and believe, and rejoice in
the blessings of Divine Government – will be willing to obey the
righteous laws then inforced upon the world.
Verse 4: “The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent,
Thou art a priest forever after the order of
Melchizedek.”
Melchizedek was both a priest and a king, and this describes
the work of Jesus and his Bride. As King and Queen, they will be
as a priest and as a king in their dealings with mankind. Some
have wondered about the use of the word “forever” in this verse.
It is somewhat of a misleading translation of the Hebrew word
which means “for the age.” The Apostle Paul made it clear that
at the end of the Millennial Day, Jesus and his Bride will turn the
Kingdom back over to the Father. That will begin the Great Eighth
Day, which is God’s Grand Jubilee.
Verse 5: “The Lord at thy right hand shall strike
through kings in the day of his wrath.”
This describes Jesus sitting at the right hand of the Father,
executing his power as King on David’s throne. He conquers the
kings of the earth. The time-setting is A.D. 1999-2033 – a
33-1/2 year period.
100 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium
Verse 6: “He shall judge among the heathen, he
shall fill the palaces with the dead bodies; he shall
wound the heads over great countries.”
The “dead bodies” will be those dead governments that he
has overthrown. Daniel described this same thing by saying: “In
the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a King-
dom.” In order to establish a Kingdom, the old kingdom must
first be overthrown and become as “dead bodies.”
But it is in verse 7 that we find the time-setting for this Psalm.
It places it 2,000 years from the death of Jesus. How so? Let’s
read the verse.
Verse 7: “He shall drink of the brook of the way;
therefore shall he lift up the head.”
On surface reading, it doesn’t really appear to tell us any-
thing. I have heard teachers tell us that this shows we should give
thanks for everything, even a glass of water. However, if that is all
it says, then it is terribly out of place as the ending verse of this
Psalm. A more proper translation of the Hebrew text would read:
“The One who grants succession will set him in authority.”
(This can be found in the text notes of the NIV Study Bible.)
Now this causes it to fit perfectly into the context. It is telling
us that the Father (the One who grants succession) will be the
One to place Jesus in the position of authority. And what is the
“succession?” It sounds like it would be succession to the throne
of David – after all, God had promised to David that there would
be a man to sit on his throne forever.
But regardless of how we translate this text into English, the

important thing is the Hebrew text. If we add the Gematria of the
Hebrew text for this verse, it will be precisely 2000. It is telling us
that 2,000 years from the time when they killed him for proclaim-
ing his kingship, he is granted the rightful authority that was prom-
ised to him, as the One to sit on the throne of David.
When the angel announced the coming birth of Jesus to Mary,
he said:
“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of
the Highest, and the Lord God shall give him the
throne of his father David.” Luke 1:32
The prophet Jeremiah forsaw this time, and he announced:
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will
raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King
shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment
and justice in the earth.” (Jeremiah 23:5)
The phrase “Unto David a righteous Branch” has a
Gematria value of 386. It is identifying that righteous Branch as
the one whose Hebrew name is Yeshua, which also has a Gematria
value of 386, and here are a few others:

386 = “...unto David a righteous Branch”

386 = Yeshua
386 = He will save (Hebrew)
386 = His salvation (Hebrew)
386 = David the son of Jesse (Psalm 72:20)
386 = Prepare the way of the Lord (Isaiah 40:3)

102 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

Once the sequence of events is recognized in the compila-
tion of the Psalms, it comes alive with meaning. They are not just
songs of praise. Yes, they are indeed songs of praise – but they
are much more than that. They portray a sequence of events that
is magnificent.
We have seen that a 3-1/2 year period is pre-figured by the
3-1/2 years of Jesus’ ministry, beginning with his baptism, at which
time he entered into a covenant with his Father. It was at this time
that the voice was heard, saying, “This is my beloved son, in
whom I am well pleased.” It was the placing as a son – the
adoption. This, in turn, was pre-figured by the joining of Solomon
with his father David, in a co-regency of rulership.
David’s reign during the previous 30 years had been one of
conquering his enemies. David was the great warrior-king. We
tend to overlook the vastness of his realm. Solomon’s reign, on
the other hand, was peaceable, and at that time Israel prospered
with great wealth. In the antitype, we have a 3-1/2 year period,
from the autumn of 2029 to the spring of 2033 during which the
enemies of Israel will be subdued, peace will come, and Israel
will begin to prosper.
The prophet Zechariah wrote of this time, and he described
it thus:
Zechariah 12:3-5: “On that day, when all the
nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will
make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the
nations. All who try to move it will injure them-
selves. On that day I will strike every horse with
panic and its rider with madness, declares the Lord.

A Magnificent Prophetic Sequence 103

I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah,
but I will blind all the horses of the nations. Then
the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, The
people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord
Almighty is their God.”
This indicates a time when Israel will indeed acknowledge
God and come to believe. In order to believe, they must be taught.
And who better to teach them than their ancient fathers, whom
they revere and honor. Malachi prophecied of the time when these
ancient fathers would teach the children.
Malachi 4:4-5: “Remember the law of my servant
Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb
for all Israel. See, I will send you the prophet Elijah
before that great and dreadful day of the Lord
comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the
children, and the hearts of the children to the
fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with
a curse.”
Jesus prophesied of this same event, and told the leaders of
his day that they (the rulers of Israel who do not believe) will see
these ancient fathers in a place of rulership, and they (the unbe-
lieving rulers) will be thrust out. Luke recorded it this way:
“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth,
when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all
the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you your-
selves thrown out.”
For these ancient fathers of Israel to come and teach the

104 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

people, there must of necessity be a resurrection. I think that when
the people of Israel actually see their founding fathers, who will
have the credentials to prove their authenticity, they will welcome
them with open arms and will willingly be taught.
In all the history of Israel, God saved them from their en-
emies only when they turned to him in belief and repentance. And
He will again come and save Israel when they turn to him in true
belief and repentance. Thus, in the progression of the sequence of
the Psalms, we have these statements in Psalm 118:
“I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord
helped me. The Lord is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.... The Lord has chas-
tened me severely, but he has not given me over to
death. Open for me the gates of righteousness; I
will enter and give thanks to the Lord... I will give
thanks for you answered me; you have become my
salvation.... This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. O Lord, save us; O
Lord grant us success. Blessed is he who comes in
the name of the Lord.”
Remember? Just before Jesus went away he said he would
not come again until they say “Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord.” But apparently, when they do say this in full
belief, then he will indeed come and save them from their
enemies.
Following Psalm 118 is a very special Psalm. People sel-
dom read Psalm 119 because it is too long and too repetitious,
and so they miss the beautiful and heart-felt dedication of Israel to

A Magnificent Prophetic Sequence 105

God. It is Israel’s marriage vows.
It is well known, Psalm 119 has 22 sections, each bearing a
letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The Hebrew alphabet was used as
a numbering system as well as a phonetic system. It’s first, middle
and last letters spell the Hebrew word emet, which is translated
into English as “truth.” Thus, not only is the Hebrew alphabet
the embodiment of truth, this vow of Israel containing the 22 sec-
tions of this Psalm, is also the embodiment of truth, because that
vow will be kept. Psalm 119 is the longest of all the Psalms, and
the wedding vows it expresses to God are many, but they are
sincere. Here is a small sampling of those vows:
Verse 10: “I seek you with all my heart; do not let
me stray from your commands. I have hidden your
word in my heart.”

Verse 15: “I meditate on your precepts and con-

sider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not
neglect your word.”

Verse 17: “I will obey your word. Open my eyes that

I may see wonderful things in your law.”

Verse 30: “I have chosen the way of truth; I have

set my heart on your laws.”

Verse 34: “Give me understanding, and I will keep

your law and obey it with all my heart.”

Verse 44: “I will always obey your law for ever and
ever.”

106 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

Verse 58: “I have sought your face with all my
heart.”

Verse 67: “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but

now I obey your word.”

Verse 87: “They almost wiped me from the earth,

but I have not forsaken your precepts. Preserve my
life according to your love and I will obey the stat-
utes of your mouth.”

Verse 106: “I have taken an oath and confirmed it,

that I will follow your righteous laws.”
This is just a sampling of the promises that Israel makes to
God at her wedding. But because Psalm 119 is so long and seem-
ingly repetitious, people don’t read it. In reality, it is the most
beautiful confession of dedication in the entire Bible. It is a vow
that Israel will keep forever.
Following this confession of consecration, are the songs of
ascent – Psalm 120 though 136. They portray Israel, coming into
the marriage covenant. The songs of ascent were joyful songs.
They were sung by Israel as the people went up to the temple as
part of the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. The great
antitypical Feast of Tabernacles is Earth’s Great Millennium.
Thus begins the sole reign of the antitypical Solomon – the
Prince of Peace. Zechariah prophesied of this peaceful King:
“He will proclaim peace to the nations. His rule
will extend from sea to sea and from the river to
the ends of the earth.” (Zechariah 9:10)

A Magnificent Prophetic Sequence 107

He also prophesied that the nations who had been at war
with Israel will now come to her to celebrate the Feast of Taber-
nacles.
“Then the survivors from all the nations that have
attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to
worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to cel-
ebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.” (Zechariah 14:16)
Solomon’s peaceful reign will be a time when the entirety of
the human family will be learning to live by God’s righteous laws,
and will come joyfully into conformity with Divine Government.
Isaiah said (26:9):
“When the judgments of the Lord are in the earth
the inhabitants of the world will learn righteous-
ness.”
It will be a thousand years of learning righteousness! Why
does it take so long? It took 6,000 years to learn the results of
unrighteousness. So giving mankind 1,000 years to learn righ-
teousness is short by comparison.
We are given a sneak-peek into the means by which man-
kind will learn righteousness in the Proverbs of Solomon. This
book immediately follows the books of the Psalms. And it is fitting
that this book should contain instruction in righteousness; for the
antitypical Solomon will be the teacher of all mankind, in this learn-
ing process. It is also fitting that the compilers of our Bibles placed
the Proverbs of Solomon immediately following the book of
Psalms, for the Psalms had shown us the time when the antitypical
David would reign over the nations, when he takes his bride to be

108 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

with him; and then together they overthrow the kingdoms of this
world, and bring Israel into belief and into a new marriage cov-
enant. Following this is the sole rule of the antitypical Solomon,
the Prince of Peace, during which mankind will learn righteous-
ness. And so, the book of Proverbs is a sample of that instruction
in righteousness.
While reading in the book of Proverbs it becomes apparent
that some of the principles taught certainly do not apply to the
world as we have known it. And if applied to the 6,000 years of
learning unrighteousness they simply are not true. Life just doesn’t
work that way. But even though these principles are not always
true today, they will indeed be true during the time when mankind
will be learning righteousness. For instance: Proverbs 10:16 says:
“The wages of the righteous brings them life, but
the income of the wicked brings them punishment.”
When have we ever seen that happen? We haven’t! In our
sinful world just the opposite is the norm. How often in history,
and in our own experience, have we seen the wicked prosper at
the expense of the innocent? Yet, during the reign of the peaceful
Solomon, mankind will indeed learn righteousness, and blessing
will indeed be the “wages of the righteous.”
Now it is difficult to obey righteousness in the midst of a
world that prospers from unrighteousness. But during the thou-
sand years of this learning process, righteous judgment will be
enacted upon those who stray from the path of righteousness, and
blessing will pursue those who learn righteousness.
Isaiah, speaking of that time of Earth’s Great Millennium,
said (32:17):
A Magnificent Prophetic Sequence 109
“The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the
effect of righteousness will be quietness and confi-
dence forever.
What a beautiful hope for all mankind! And it is not just a
fanciful daydream – it is the promise of God.
Below is a brief diagram of that 3-1/2 year period of the co-
regency of the antitypical David with the antitypical Solomon.

The Amazing Number 3168
It was more than forty years ago that I first heard the word
“Gematria.” I knew absolutely nothing about it. I searched librar-
ies, references and dictionaries, and found nothing. The word was
not even in my large unabridged dictionary. So I simply began
investigating it myself – from scratch. However, in one of my small
dictionaries I found the Greek alphabet with its number equiva-
lents. Great! I already had a Greek text of the New Testament, so
I set to work, searching the entire New Testament for the number
values for the names and titles of Jesus. It was truly an eye-opener.
I realized that I had dug into a mine deeper than a bottomless pit.
For over 40 years I have searched both the Hebrew and
Greek texts, using my little hand-held calculator. About a year
ago a wonderful friend who is associated with Microsoft wrote a
program for me which enables me to enter a number, and it will
give me all the words, or contiguous words where that number
can be found in the Bible.
In doing this search, it must be remembered that the original
Hebrew and Greek texts had no punctuation, no sentence breaks,
and no word breaks – thus when I search for contiguous words I
am not violating the word and sentence structure that we have in
our English translations.
Amazing things happened!
For those forty-plus years I have been working with a most
amazing number – 3168. In the New Testament the Gematria

The Amazing Number 3168 111

value for the name “Lord Jesus Christ” is 3168. It is not a random
number – it is the number of his name. When he made the earth to
be home for the man he would create, he made its dimensions fit
into a square having a perimeter of 31,680 miles.

Perimeter of the Square – 31,680 Miles

When he came to earth to become a man, and give himself

as a ransom, he came as a little baby, born in a cattle shelter at the
bottom of a cliff just to the southeast of Bethlehem, at latitude
31.68 degrees north.

Thirty three and one half years later, he hung on a cross just
outside Jerusalem, in fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah 53:11:
“He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be
satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous ser-
vant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquity.”
The Gematria of that famous prophecy is 3168.

David wrote a song which was called “The Doe of the Morn-
ing” in which he prophesied of the agony that Jesus would endure
on the cross when he felt the Father’s face turn from him. Psalm
22:1-2:
“A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have
you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving
me, so far from the words of my groaning? O my
God I cry out...”

114 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 3168. It was
necessary for the Father to turn His face from Jesus at that point ,
because Jesus was taking the place of the sinner (Adam). And
even though Jesus knew that his Father must turn His face at that
moment, yet losing his Father’s favor, even for a moment, was the
real agony which he suffered – far more than the nails in his hands
and feet.
In the Psalm of Ascents we find this beautiful prophecy of
the time when Jesus sits on the throne of David. Psalm 132:10-
11:
“For the sake of David your servant, do not reject
your anointed one. The Lord swore an oath to David,
a sure oath that he will not revoke: One of your
own descendants I will place on your throne.”
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 3168.
The prophet Jeremiah wrote the words that Jehovah gave
him: Jeremiah 23:5-6:
“The days are coming declares the Lord, when I
will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King
who will reign wisely and do what is just and right
in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and
Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which
he will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.”
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 3168. It
leaves no doubt as to the identity of this new King – it will be the
Lord Jesus Christ, whose number is 3168.
Isaiah had a flair for the poetic. In his 16th chapter he puts

The Amazing Number 3168 115

into verse the beautiful prophecy of Jesus sitting on the throne of
David, executing justice and righteousness in the earth. Isaiah 16:4-5.
“The oppressor will come to an end, and destruc-
tion will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the
land. In love a throne will be established; in faith-
fulness a man will sit on it – one from the house of
David – one who in judging seeks justice and speeds
the cause of righteousness.”
The underlined portion has a Gematria value of 3168. Obvi-
ously Isaiah had seen, in vision, the new King sitting on the throne,
but I doubt that Isaiah knew his eloquent poetry was indeed
encoded with the number identifying the One sitting on the throne.
When the second Manchild was born as a tiny babe in the
autumn of 1999, legally the throne of David was given to him. But
just as the first Manchild, he must reach the age of accountability
(at 13), then he must reach the age of 30 for the Son Placement
authority. However, between the age of 13 and 30, the son can
legally be married. Thus it is legally correct that the second
Manchild could marry any time after Rosh Hashanah 2012.
When he reaches the age of 30, the Son Placement cer-
emony can confer the inheritance of the father on both the son and
his spouse as one unit because when married they become one
entity.
If the number for the son is 3168, then when he is joined to
his bride in marriage, she not only takes his name, she also takes
his number as well.
This is shown beautifully in the union of Adam and Eve. It

116 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

has long been known that Jesus is represented as the “second
Adam,” thus at the time of Adam’s union with Eve, it pictures the
union of Jesus and his bride. But this beautiful picture is confirmed
by the Gematria. Genesis 2:23:
Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he
had taken out of the man, and he brought her to
the man. And the man said, This now is bone of my
bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called
woman, for she was taken out of man.”
Amazingly, the underlined portion has a Gametra value of
3168. The number, from the beginning, has to do with Jesus and
his bride.
We get the same information from Genesis 5:1-2:
“In the day that God created man, in the likeness
of God he made him; male and female he created
them, and called their name Adam, in the day they
were created.” (KJV)
The underlined portion adds to 3168. The Gematria con-
firms the concept that Eve took her husband’s name, and together
they are a picture of Jesus and his bride – she takes his name, and
is identified by his number.
When it came time for the first Manchild to be born, the
angel Gabriel appeared to Joseph to announce to him that Mary
had conceived and would have a son. He said to Joseph (Mat-
thew 1:20):
“...an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream
and said: Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to

The Amazing Number 3168 117

take Mary home as your wife, because what is con-
ceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give
birth to a son, and you are to give him the name
Jesus, because he will save his people from their
sins.”
The underlined portion adds to 3168. Who would have ever
known that this comforting consolation by the angel was encoded
with the number of his name – 3168! What a confirmation!
Thirty three and one half years later. This perfect One – the
One who came to pay the price for the sin of Adam – hung on a
cross on a hill named Golgotha. In his agony, endured for his
beloved human race, some of the people walked beneath him
sneering and mocking. They were overheard saying:
“He saved others, but he can’t save himself! He’s
the King of Israel! Let him come down now from
the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts God,
let God rescue him now if he wants him.”
Yes, even their sneering and mocking was a witness to the
fact that he was indeed the “Lord Jesus Christ” – the Son of
God – the Saviour of all mankind! The underlined portion adds to
3168.

Nearly 2,000 years have passed since that eventful day. The
nation of Israel, who refused to have him as their king, was
disbursed to the four corners of the earth. The Romans, who
executed him, became a strong and brutal world power; and
today the remnants of that great empire are joining together into a

118 The Dawn of Earth’s Great Millennium

world confederacy – One World Government. Little do they
realize today that their confederacy will soon do battle with the
King of kings and Lord of lords – the One they crucified for
claiming to be a king.
“The ten horns you saw are the ten kings who have
not yet received a kingdom, but who, for one hour,
will receive authority as kings along with the beast.
They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb
will overcome them because he is Lord of lords, and
King of kings.” (Revelation 17:12)
Two thousand years from A.D. 33 will bring us to the spring
of 2033. The darkness just before the dawn is now covering the
earth. Instead of seeing rays of sunshine, we see the gross dark-
ness of man’s selfishness and greed, his lust for power. But the
darkness will not last much longer. The rays of early morning sun
will soon break into daylight – the dawn of Earth’s Great Millen-
nium.
Come watch with me the birthing of the Day!
