The 2300 evening/mornings and the Great Tribulation

An important connection linking the 1260 days of tribulation with the 2,300 evenings/mornings



The global ban on Christianity is about to begin.


Before the end of this autumn, the human society will change forever.

We communicate to our readers the most likely dates for the beginning of this tribulation:



Dec. 02/03, 2008 (Kislev 6)

Dec. 12/13, 2008 (Kislev 16)



We have managed to successfully reconstruct the chronology of human history according to the scriptures and we have discovered that history is divided into two enormous periods totalling 6037.5 years. This period is represented by the measurements of the divine sanctuary as given in the Bible. This sanctuary had two compartments called the ‘Holy’ and the ‘Most Holy’. The former is twice as long as the latter. The chronological model of the sanctuary has as its starting point the start of the life of Adam, the perfect first man in the autumn of 4027 BCE (BC) and it will be completed in spring 2012.

This model has proven very valuable to understand where we are in the flow of time. The period represented by the Holy began in the autumn of 4027 BCE and was completed in the fall of 2 BCE with the birth of Jesus, the second perfect man. 2012.5 years will have to elapse until the spring of 2012 when the greater divine shrine will be completed.

The reconstruction of the correct chronology allowed us to confirm these dates and we were also able to deduce the following:

There are 3000 years from the creation of Adam until the first temple of Jehovah was completed in the autumn of 1027 BCE.


There are 2000 years from when Jesus was found in the temple after the Passover aged 12 in the spring of the year 12 CE, until the spring of 2012.


There are 6000 years from the declaration of a promise about a ‘seed’ in the spring of 3993 BCE, when Adam was 33.5 years old, until the spring of 2008.


There are 1975 years, from the spring of 3993 BCE to the birth of Abraham, in the spring of 2018 BCE.


There are 1975 years from the inauguration of the Abrahamic Covenant, in the spring of 1943 BCE, until the inauguration of the New Covenant with Jesus Christ as Mediator in the spring of the year 33 CE. The New Covenant came into force on the day of Pentecost the year 33 CE.


There are 1975 years from the inauguration of the New Covenant, in the spring of the year 33 until the spring of 2008.


There are 90 years (a quarter of a ‘time’) from the beginning of the heavenly resurrection during the presence of Jesus Christ, in spring 1918 to the spring of 2008. It is likely that the exact date for this incident was the day of Pentecost.


There are 2520 years (‘7 times’) from the expulsion of Adam from the Paradise of Eden, in the spring of 3993 BCE, until the entry of Israel into the Promised Land, when the land covenant came into force in the spring of 1473 BCE.


There are 2520 years (‘7 times’) from the formal declaration of God's spirit in the autumn of 2492 BCE, to the baptism of Jesus Christ with the holy spirit in the autumn of the year 29 CE.


There are 2012.5 years from the inauguration of the Abrahamic Covenant, in the spring of 1943 BCE to the complete destruction of the Jewish system of worship in Jerusalem in 70 CE. In the centre of this period we find the beginning of the service of Elijah the prophet, in the spring of 939 BCE. The evidence establishes that Elijah started and finished his service on the day of Pentecost.


There are 2012.5 years of separation from the transfer of Enoch, in the spring of 3039 BCE, until the first temple of Jehovah was completed in the autumn of 1027 BCE. The evidence establishes that Enoch, who was a representation of chosen Christians, was born, began his work and was transferred on the day of Pentecost.


It is very likely that the second temple was completed in the spring of 514 BCE, precisely in the midpoint between the autumn of 1027 BCE when the first temple was completed and the autumn of 2 BCE, when Jesus Christ was born.

These and other deductions have enabled us to conclude that the model is correct and the building of the greater shrine will be completed in the spring of 2012. And it seems that the key day for the conclusion of this model will be 2012Sivan6, the day of Pentecost, which in 2012 coincides with May26/27.

This day will be 6000 years after the birth of Abel, who was conceived at the beginning of the autumn of 3990 BCE, this event marking the ‘foundation of the world’.


This would mean that the last three and half years prophesied in the Bible, in which the people of God on Earth would be persecuted, would begin sometime in the autumn of 2008. Until now we were not able to nail the date of the start of this tribulation exactly. This was because the Bible has ‘time lock’ and we did not have enough data to calculate correctly. Now, thanks to divine providence and the grace of the Lord, we were able to get closer with more precision. The start of this period is imminent.


A ban of 1,260 days or 42 months

The Bible gives us important keys and hints:

And a reed like a rod was given me as he said: “Get up and measure the temple [sanctuary] of God and the altar and those worshiping in it. 2 But as for the courtyard that is outside the temple [sanctuary], cast it clear out and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will cause my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days dressed in sackcloth.” (Revelation 11:1-3.)

This "temple" and "those who worship in it” are those who claim to be Christians. These must be brought to a final test for 1260 days or 42 months in which only the faithful will be loyal. The political establishment will bring forth the "disgusting thing causing desolation" soon, a ban on or persecution of true Christians.

This was foretold by the prophecy of Daniel about the "four great beasts." It has been seen that in the present fulfilment these entities represent the Quartet for peace in the
Middle East (United States, Russia, EU and UN). Out of the "ten horns" of the UN a political entity arises that will oppress the people of God for 3.5 times.

24 And as for the ten horns, out of that kingdom there are ten kings that will rise up; and still another one will rise up after them, and he himself will be different from the first ones, and three kings he will humiliate. 25 And he will speak even words against the Most High, and he will harass continually the holy ones themselves of the Supreme One. And he will intend to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand for a time, and times and half a time. (Daniel7)

The prophecy of the "king of the north" and the "king of the south" also mentions a similar period and tells us that the "power of the holy people" is indeed 'shattered'.

5 And I saw, I Daniel, and, look! there were two others standing, one on the bank here of the stream and the other on the bank there of the stream. 6 Then one said to the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream: “How long will it be to the end of the wonderful things?” 7 And I began to hear the man clothed with the linen, who was up above the waters of the stream, as he proceeded to raise his right [hand] and his left [hand] to the heavens and to swear by the One who is alive for time indefinite: “It will be for an appointed time, appointed times and a half. And as soon as there will have been a finishing of the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces, all these things will come to their finish.” (Daniel 12:5-7.)

And the book of Revelation mentions the same period in which the ‘holy ones’ will be 'defeated'. This will begin shortly after the New International Financial Order is born. This is the last stage in the quest of establishing the rule of the "wild beast."

4 And they worshiped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshiped the wild beast with the words: “Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?” 5 And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given it, and authority to act forty-two months was given it. 6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his residence, even those residing in heaven. 7 And there was granted it to wage war with the holy ones and conquer them, and authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. (Revelation13)


The 1290 days!

Since 2008 was a year marked by biblical chronology, it was to be expected that Ethanim/Tishri1 would mark the beginning of the predicted period of 1335 days in Daniel 12:12. This period would conclude with a day of happiness or blessedness for God's people. We discovered that actually from 2008September29/30 until 2012May26/27 there are exactly 1335 days..

12 “Happy is the one who is keeping in expectation and who arrives at the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days! (Daniel 12:12.)

According to the evidence, the period of 1290 days also predicted in Daniel 12:11 will begin on 2008November14/15 and expire also on 2012May26/27. As it seems, on Nov15, the groundwork for the ‘image of the beast’, even the "disgusting thing causing desolation", will be laid. The political system lead by the "false prophet" will cause all to accept this new control mechanism. They will attempt to "change times and laws" throughout the world. It is strangely coincidental that from this day there are only 1500 days left until 2012December22, a day promoted by the ‘New Age’ movement of the ‘false prophet’. Incidentally, there are exactly 4120 days from the fall of the towers of the WTC until
December 22 2012, the sum of 2520 and 1600 days.

In fact it seems that the 1290 must start 45 after the 1335 days if they are to end on the same date. The first day of the 1290 remaining days is the 2008November14/15. The biblical day will start on November14 at sunset, probably as seen in the
Middle East. That date coincides with the Heshvan17, the date of the beginning of the Flood in 2370 BCE and the date the Protestant Reformation began in 1517, 491 years ago. What will occur on that day?

11 “And from the time that the constant [feature] has been removed and there has been a placing of the disgusting thing that is causing desolation, there will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. (Daniel 12:11.)

It appears that day will see a decision to 'remove the constant feature’ (which probably is true Christian worship), and the 'erecting' of the "image of the beast". This will stand on a holy place, a place that belongs to sacred things only. We know that many Christians will compromise and bow to the "beast", but true Christians will not.


When will the 1260 days start?

If the 1260 days of tribulation for Christianity are solar days, then the "disgusting thing causing desolation" will stand in the "holy place" on
December 13, 2008, probably in the United Nations headquarters. Thus 2008December14/15 will be the first day of the attack/persecution, starting 30 days after November14/15. However, it is possible that this period is measured in terms of the lunar calendar because the prophecy of Revelation links the 1260 days with 42 lunar months. If these three and a half years will be completed on Pentecost, 2012Sivan6 (the third month) they will begin on the 6th day of Kislev (the ninth month), which in 2008 falls on December2/3.

It is interesting that if we add 1260 solar days to 2008December2/3 we reach 2012May16/17, which is Iyyar26, the date on which Jesus ascended to heaven in the year 33 CE. It would be nice if the Messiah returns on the very day he left.

9 And after he had said these things, while they were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud caught him up from their vision. 10 And as they were gazing into the sky while he was on his way, also, look! two men in white garments stood alongside them, 11 and they said: “Men of Gal´i·lee, why do YOU stand looking into the sky? This Jesus who was received up from YOU into the sky will come thus in the same manner as YOU have beheld him going into the sky.” (Acts1)

Therefore, Kislev6 seems to fulfil all requirements for being the day that we expect. And the truth is that there are even more temporal evidences:

Many expected that the Pentecost 2008, Sivan6, would make it obvious that the "time of the end" had begun, but they did not take into account the pending realignment of the sacred calendar that was changed at the Exodus of Israel, in 1513 BCE to start in spring instead of autumn. It seems reasonable to believe that from 2008Ethanim/Tishri1 the sacred calendar again begins in fall. And since the beginning of the year is no longer Abib/Nisan, it is wise to conclude that what was going to happen on 2008Sivan6 apparently will happen on 2008Kislev6, six lunar months later.

Also, December2/3 is 270 days after 2008Nisan1, the period of a pregnancy.


But the most powerful ‘coincidence’ that we have discovered with respect to Kislev6 is the date at which we arrive when we count 2300 days forward from this date. 2300 days are 6 years of 360 days, 4 months and 20 days. Taking the first day to be 2008December2/3, we see that the last of those 2300 days would be 2015March20/21.


What will happen at the end of the 2300 days?

If we check the lunar calendar for 2015 we will see that the month of Nisan begins with the new moon on March20, at the time of the spring equinox. So Nisan1 matches on March20/21, the last day of the 2300 days. The most impressive of this is not the (powerful) fact that the new moon coincides with the equinox but that a total solar eclipse will occur on that date, the first after the one in 2012! The path of this total eclipse will end exactly over the North Pole. Is this a heavenly sign that this is the end of 2300 days predicted in the prophecy of Daniel?

To answer this question, we have to confirm whether the ‘three and a half times’ of Daniel 7 and 12 and Revelation 13 starts simultaneously with the 2300 day. The language use in these prophecies seems to indicate that:

13 And I got to hear a certain holy one speaking, and another holy one proceeded to say to the particular one who was speaking: “How long will the vision be of the constant [feature] and of the transgression causing desolation, to make both [the] holy place and [the] army things to trample on?” 14 So he said to me: “Until two thousand three hundred evenings [and] mornings; and [the] holy place will certainly be brought into its right condition.” (Daniel 8:13, 14.)

Someone might think that 2015Nisan1 has no place in the biblical chronology, but in reality this date is only half a year away from the autumn of 2014, when the generation that fought in WW1 will be 120 years old. This addition of six months probably has to do with the realignment of the calendar of spring to autumn. In fact, although the "saints" could be reunited with the true Messiah at Pentecost 2012, it seems that the destruction of the enemies of God will have to happen during an extended period of time until the autumn of 2014 or the spring of 2015. At that time, the chronological model of the sanctuary will have been completed.

19 And the temple [sanctuary] of God that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple [sanctuary]. And there occurred lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and a great hail.. (Revelation 11:19).

It is possible that after the completion of the model of the sanctuary in the spring of 2012, when the "saints" have already been collected, the plagues will be poured out that will finfish off this system of things. The situation will be similar to the
Temple of Solomon in which certain priestly duties where carried out before the official inauguration.


5 And after these things I saw, and the sanctuary of the tent of the witness was opened in heaven, 6 and the seven angels with the seven plagues emerged from the sanctuary, clothed with clean, bright linen and girded about their breasts with golden girdles. 7 And one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls that were full of the anger of God, who lives forever and ever. 8 And the sanctuary became filled with smoke because of the glory of God and because of his power, and no one was able to enter into the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished. (Revelation15)
