Dates of Festivals.

The Key point here is to count out the days and see where they are on the Jewish calendar. These relate to the Jewish Festivals and the days from the rule of the anti-Christ.

Anti-Christ `s Image -  9th Av (Temple Desecration)

The anti-Christ gets an image of himself set up in the Jewish Temple. This is the abomination of desolation, placing himself in place of God. (Rev. 13: 14 & 15) This occurs exactly on the 9th of Av, which is the Jewish greatest day of mourning for their Temple desecration.

Jesus` Return - 29th Kislev (Hanukkah)

Jesus comes in great power and glory and brings the tribulation to an early close. This is in the time of Hanukkah, the Festival of lights. During the 8 days  - 25th of Kislev to 2nd of Tevet, the Lord returns dealing with the world`s armies  and delivers Israel.

Counting back from the 15th of Purim on a Jewish calendar (75 days) we find that the Lord returns on the 29th of Kislev.

Temple Rededication - Tevet.

 When the Lord reveals Himself to the people of Jerusalem they go into mourning.      (Zech. 12: 10 - 14) After that they will seek to rededicate their temple at the end of the month. (Dan. 9: 24,   8: 13 & 14,    12: 11,    John 10: 22)

New Year of Trees - Shevat.

Israel celebrates this month as the time of the Trees coming to fruit. In the tribulation the waters have been polluted, however the Lord brings fresh water from Jerusalem and out to the seas to cleanse them.(Zech.14: 8)  The trees then grow and produce fruit. (Ez.47: 12)   

National Celebrations - Adar 15th (Purim)

The cities of the world had fallen in the great earthquake so life will be agricultural.            (Rev. 16: 18 & 19, Micah 4: 3)  Thus from all over the world the Jews will be brought to the land of Israel - on horses, in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels. (Isa. 66: 20)

Then it will be the time for the Festival of Purim, the national celebration of deliverance. In Jerusalem it will take place on the 15th of Adar. (Esther 9: 18 & 19)

This will be 1,335 days from the anti-Christ. (Dan. 12: 12)
