Que. Why is there not an exact 1260 years
plus 1260 years between the prophecy of Ezekiel 40 and Israel becoming a nation?
Why instead is the period from 597 BC Nisan 10 to 1948 Pentecost? Should not
have Israel become a nation on Nisan 10 in order to be an exact 1260-times-two
days?
Ans. Firstly, we have already seen
that the old and new covenants that were both given on Pentecost are major
themes in relation to Ezekiel 40. This would be reason enough that Israel was
born-again as a nation on Pentecost. For Israel became a nation in keeping
with those covenants. However, there is another reason why Pentecost is so
important and how it connects to Nisan 10th.
Ezekiel received his vision Nisan
10th, 573 BC and importantly, "Nisan 10th" is
the anniversary of when Israel entered the Promised land. And thus 1260 years times-two
later Israel once again enter the Promised land (in 1948)! (Nisan
10 comes 55 days before Pentecost on the Jewish and 360
calendars.)
Joshua 4:19 The people
crossed the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month and camped at
Gilgal, east of Jericho.
Ezekiel 40:1
(ASV) In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning
of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year
after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of
Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither.
As said, Ezekiel received his vision Nisan
10th, 573 BC, and "Nisan 10th" is
the anniversary of when Israel entered the Promised land. However, it
was on Pentecost that God intended that Israel should enter the
Promised land. God intended that Israel enter the Promised land about 40 years
before they actually did. (God intended that Israel enter the Promised
land one year after the covenant at Sinai, 1446-1445 BC, {Deut. 1:2}. This is discussed in detail at
this
link.)
Thus, in 1948 the land of Israel returned to the Jew on Pentecost,
the anniversary of when God intended Israel to take the
Promised Land!
Vision of new Jerusalem and temple
revealed to Ezekiel in 573 BC, Nisan 10, (the anniversary on when Israel entered
the Promised Land in 1406 BC); and 573 BC plus 1260 plus
1260 years
later the Promised land reverts back to Israel in 1948 as promised in
Ezekiel 36-39!
And moreover, this happened on Pentecost (1948), the
anniversary on when God intended that Israel enter
the Promised Land in 1445 BC!
|
Moreover, since God poured out His Holy Spirit on
Pentecost AD 30, hence, Jesus brought a people ---the "Church" into their
'promised-land' rest that day also. The Church was 'born', just as natural
Israel was born again as a nation in 1948. Both entered a "Promised
Land" on Pentecost.
Pentecost is the anniversary of
the Covenant on Mount Sinai,
but it is also the day that God intended Israel
to enter into the Promised Land (one year later);
however, due to disobedience they were delayed.

Thus, there is an exact 1260 years plus 1260 years between the measuring of the
temple in Ezekiel 40 on Nisan 10th, unto when Israel became a nation in 1948
on Pentecost in the sense that both Nisan 10th and Pentecost symbolize
basically the same thing.
Que. Does that fact that Israel was also circumcised
Nisan 10th (1406 BC) on the very same day that they entered the Promised land
in 1406 BC have any significance?
Ans. Yes! The circumcision on Nisan 10
when Joshua led Israel into the Promised land is typical and symbolic of the
New Covenant, (Joshua 5:7). The name of Jesus is a variant of the name Joshua
in Hebrew and it is Jesus that leads His people into the Promised land
of His heavenly kingdom by virtue of the New Covenant in His blood inaugurated
on Pentecost AD 30. This is when what was spoken of by the prophets was
fulfilled, that is, "the circumcision of the heart."
Ezekiel 36:26 And I will give you
a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away
the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Eze 44:7a in that ye have
brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh,
to be in my sanctuary, to profane it...
Eze 44:9 Thus saith the Lord
Jehovah, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh,
shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners that are among the children
of Israel. (This combines
Jeremiah 4:4a Circumcise
yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye
men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like
fire,...
Therefore on Pentecost the two covenants were made and also on Pentecost
God intended Israel to possess the land (1445 BC), and the two themes of
'circumcision/covenant' and 'the taking of the land' are closely related. (And
keep in mind that Pentecost is also when Israel again took the land in 1948).
Thus, in the bible Pentecost depicts both the entry into the
Promised Land and also the Old and New Covenants, for Joshua circumcised them
"the second time" on the same day they entered the Promised Land.
Under the old covenant the flesh was circumcised, but under the new the heart
is symbolically circumcised. Thus, Nisan 10th and Pentecost have much the same
meaning and historic significance. This is why it is proper that there be 1260 years times-two
between the two dates as said.
Que. The fact that Nisan 10 was also the
anniversary of when the Passover lamb was selected for Passover sacrifice,
does that have any bearing on this? Also, Nisan 10 is the anniversary of the
"triumphal entry" of Jesus into Jerusalem as 'king' a few days
before His death on Passover. How does all this play into things?
