The Concept of a Day, not as a 24-hour period, is important to the LORD because it actually represents the Light of Spiritual Truth that emanates from Him. In Genesis 1:5 God called the Light Day, before it was associated with time and then call the Darkness (which is the absence of 'Light') Night. Only after that did he combine them into what we understand as a 24 hour Day:

The following is much shorter than my other articles, as it is just a quick observation of what I noticed about the number 45.

One of the verses that is being quoted all the time now, as a proof that we absolutely cannot know the Day, or the Hour, of Jesus' Return is Matthew 24:36.

In considering Numerical Patterns in the Bible, one thing that is becoming increasingly clearer is that God’s divine hand has created many hidden layers that lead us to the Truth, and like peeling an onion, each is built upon another. Firstly however, I just want to preface what follows by saying that while I believe that many of these patterns seem to point to 2025 and 2032 as being significant times in God’s end-time calendar, we need to be continually looking at Israel, which is God’s ultimate timepiece for their true context.

As many are aware, God has woven many numerical patterns into the bible, not only to affirm that He is in control of history, in spite of our free will, but to show that He is all powerful and can be trusted with our lives. He delights in us when we begin to engage His Word, and He has many treasures there for us beyond the message of the gospel, although that will always remain of prime importance.

While many would claim we cannot know when Jesus is coming back, it is worth noting some of what the bible explicitly states about this. In one of the early references to the Rapture by Paul the apostle, God reveals the following:

I believe one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible is that contained in Chapters 4 and 5 of Revelation and that based on this misunderstanding, a lot of confusion about both the timeline and the sequence of events that relate to the Rapture, Tribulation and Second coming of Christ have been introduced.

While some people see English Translations of the Bible as sacrosanct and accept every word without question, it is important to remember that they are exactly that, "Translations" and that God's word was originally conveyed to humanity in Hebrew; Aramaic and Greek. Most however understand this, which is why so many utilise different versions, as they try to understand the nuances behind the original text, with each version translating the original languages slightly differently.

In Genesis 5 (Grace) we have a genealogy from ADAM to NOAH - and i believe it contains a hidden end-time prophecy that emphasizes the theme of Grace, as hinted at by the chapter number.

In another article, I outlined some intriguing occurrences of the number 490, which are symbolically linked in scripture to the Fulness of Time and Perfect Forgiveness and therefore by extension to the Timing of the Tribulation. Please click on the following link to view this article before reading this one in which I will present the mystery of the number 39 and its multiples and will expand on the idea that the God has used certain numbers as pointers to the events of the last days.

When reading the bible one thing quickly becomes clear in that God consistently uses numbers as timing clues in relation to completing the Redemption of Mankind. A few quick examples include:

The first thing to note in a discussion on this topic is that GOD declares the End from the Beginning as the scripture in Isaiah 46:10 states:
