The Punishment Periods of Judah and Israel(Ezekiel 4:1-8)And the Seventieth Week of Daniel(Daniel 9:27)

The Punishment Period of the Southern Kingdom of JudahThe amount of time that Elohim will set His face against Judah is 390 years + 40 years = 430 years.This is described in Ezekiel 4:1-8:

Ezequiel 4:1 Y t, oh hijo de hombre, toma una tableta de arcilla, ponla delante de ti y graba sobre ella una ciudad: Jerusaln. 2 Luego pon asedio contra ella, construye contra ella un muro de asedio y levanta contra ella un terrapln. Pon contra ella campamentos y coloca arietes contra ella en derredor. 3 Y t, toma una plancha de hierro y ponla como muro de hierro entre ti y la ciudad. Luego afirma tu rostro contra ella, y quedar bajo asedio. T la asediars; es una seal para la casa de Israel.

Ezequiel 4:4 Y t, acustate sobre tu costado izquierdo y pon sobre l el pecado de la casa de Israel. Durante el nmero de das que estars acostado as, cargars con su pecado. 5 Yo te he asignado un nmero de das equivalente a los aos del pecado de ellos: Durante 390 das cargars con el pecado de la casa de Israel.

Ezequiel 4:6 Y cumplidos stos, te acostars nuevamente sobre tu costado derecho, y cargars con el pecado de la casa de Jud durante 40 das: Te he fijado un da por cada ao. 7 Luego afirmars tu rostro hacia el asedio de Jerusaln, y con tu brazo descubierto profetizars contra ella. 8 He aqu, yo pongo cuerdas sobre ti, y no te podrs dar vuelta de un lado al otro, hasta que hayas cumplido los das de tu asedio.

In Leviticus 26, Elohim states that He is going to punish Israel (Israel was not a divided kingdom at this time) for their disobedience to His Torah (instructions). When He punishes them, if they still do not turn back to Him and His Torah, He will multiply their punishment times seven.

Levitico 26:14 "Pero si no me escuchis y no ponis por obra todos estos mandamientos, 15 y si rechazis mis estatutos y vuestra alma menosprecia mis decretos, no poniendo por obra todos mis mandamientos e invalidando mi pacto, 16 entonces yo tambin har con vosotros esto: Decretar contra vosotros terror, tisis y fiebre que consuman los ojos y dejen exhausta el alma. Sembraris en vano vuestra semilla, porque vuestros enemigos se la comern.

Levitico 26:17 "Yo pondr mi rostro contra vosotros, y seris derrotados ante vuestros enemigos. Los que os aborrecen se enseorearn de vosotros, y huiris sin que nadie os persiga. 18 Si aun con estas cosas no me obedecis, volver a castigaros siete veces ms por vuestros pecados.

Levitico 26:19"Quebrantar la soberbia de vuestro podero y har que vuestro cielo sea como hierro y que vuestra tierra sea como bronce. 20 Vuestra fuerza se agotar en vano; pues vuestra tierra no dar su producto, ni el rbol de la tierra dar su fruto. 21 Y si continuis sindome hostiles y no me queris obedecer, yo aumentar la plaga sobre vosotros siete veces ms, segn vuestros pecados.

Levitico 26:25 "Traer sobre vosotros la espada vengadora, en vindicacin del pacto. Y si os refugiis en vuestras ciudades, yo enviar la peste entre vosotros, y seris entregados en mano del enemigo. 26 Cuando yo os corte el sustento de pan, diez mujeres cocern vuestro

Levitico 26:27 Si a pesar de esto no me obedecis, sino que continuis sindome hostiles, 28 proceder contra vosotros con ira hostil y os castigar siete veces ms por vuestros pecados.

Judah was punished for seventy years in Babylon. Daniel knew this was the timeframe they would be captive in Babylon because Jeremiah had prophesied itJeremias 29:10 Porque as ha dicho Jehovah: "Cuando segn mi dicho se cumplan setenta aos para Babilonia, os visitar con mi favor y os cumplir mi buena promesa de haceros regresar a este lugar.

Elohim punished Judah just as He promised. He gave them seventy years of captivity and suffering in Babylon. Judah was then told to return to Jerusalem several times. But only a small fraction of the people obeyed. Since the majority of the people still disobeyed Him, He multiplied the remainder of their punishment by seven. This gave them a punishment period of:430 years 70 years = 360 years360 years x 7 = 2520 (Biblical) years

Converting the punishment period of Judah to solar years:(2520 Biblical years) x (360 days/Biblical Year)/365.2422days/Solar Year) = 2483.83 Solar Years.

Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon in 536 B.C. and offered to pay for millions of Jews to return to Jerusalem.

Ne 2:1 Sucedi en el mes de Nisn, en el ao 20 del rey Artajerjes, que estando ya el vino delante de l, tom el vino y se lo di al rey. Y como yo no haba estado antes triste en su presencia,

Ne 2:7 Adems dije al rey: --Si al rey le agrada, sanme dadas cartas para los gobernadores de la regin de Ms All del Ro, para que me dejen pasar hasta que yo llegue a Jud; 8 y otra carta para Asaf, guarda de los bosques del rey, para que me d madera para poner vigas a las puertas de la ciudadela del templo, para la muralla de la ciudad y para la casa donde yo estar. El rey me lo concedi, pues la bondadosa mano de Dios estaba conmigo.

The multiplied Punishment Period for the Southern Kingdom of Judah began in the month of Nisan in 536 BC. That would be approximately 536.46 BC. The punishment period for Judah is 2483.83 Solar Years.2483.83 - 536.46 BC = 1947.37Add one year because there is no year 0The end of the punishment period of Judah was in 1948.37. This would have been precisely on May 14-15, 1948. This is the day that Israel was declared a nation once again. Elohim no longer has His face turned against Judah.

The Punishment Period of the Northern Kingdom of IsraelThe amount of time that Elohim will set His face against Israel is 390 years.This is given in Ezekiel 4:1-5, as previously mentioned.The Northern Kingdom never repented. Their punishment was also multiplied by seven as promised in Levitucus 26.

390 years x 7 = 2730 years (Biblical years)2730 Biblical years (360/365.2422) = 2690.817 solar years

When did Elohim set His face against the Northern Kingdom of Israel?

Hoshea (732-724) and the endHoshea immediately surrendered the Northern Kingdom to Shalmeneser V (some think this was Shalmaneser IV), the new king of Assyria, and paid tribute (2 Kings 17:1-3). This action probably saved Samaria from destruction, at least for a while, but only put the Northern Kingdom more firmly in the grasp of the Assyrians. (cont.)

There was no doubt still a faction within Israel that wanted independence. While Hoshea had acted to save what remained of the nation, he eventually saw what he thought was an opportunity to break free of Assyrian control. He made an alliance with Egypt, thinking he could rely on them for military assistance, and withheld tribute from Assyria (2 Kings 17:4). But Egypt at this time was weak and was worthless as a military ally. Shalmenesers army attacked the reduced Israelite Kingdom in 724, captured most of the land, and took Hoshea prisoner.

Only Samaria remained. It was besieged for 3 years, and was finally taken in 721 (2 Kings 17:5-6). The city was destroyed, the northern Kingdom transformed into a province of the Assyrian Empire, a number of the people taken as prisoners or exiles to Assyria, and other people resettled in the captured territory (2 Kings 17:24-34).

724 BC - 2690.817 solar years brings us to 1967, the time of the Six Day War when Israel took back Jerusalem.This was another miraculous victory for Israel.

The Stunning VictoryAfter just six days of fighting, Israeli forces broke through the enemy lines and were in a position to march on Cairo, Damascus and Amman. A ceasefire was invoked on June 10.By the end of the war, Israel had conquered enough territory to more than triple the size of the area it controlled, from 8,000 to 26,000 square miles. The victory enabled Israel to unify Jerusalem. Israeli forces had also captured the Sinai, Golan Heights, Gaza Strip and West Bank. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/67_War.html

What does the Punishment Period of Israel have to do with the Seventieth Week of Daniel? Daniel 9:27 Por una semana l confirmar un pacto con muchos, y en la mitad de la semana har cesar el sacrificio y la ofrenda. Sobre alas de abominaciones vendr el desolador, hasta que el aniquilamiento que est decidido venga sobre el desolador."

Daniel 9:26 Despus de las sesenta y dos semanas, el Mesas ser quitado y no tendr nada; y el pueblo de un gobernante que ha de venir destruir la ciudad y el santuario. Con cataclismo ser su fin, y hasta el fin de la guerra est decretada la desolacin. 27 Por una semana l confirmar un pacto con muchos, y en la mitad de la semana har cesar el sacrificio y la ofrenda. Sobre alas de abominaciones vendr el desolador, hasta que el aniquilamiento que est decidido venga sobre el desolador."

1967 CE (2690.817) = 622 CE

This is the middle of the week

Islam was founded in 622 AD by Mohammed the Prophet, in the "Hegira", "Hijra", flight or migration from Mecca to Medina, Arabia, and marks the beginning of Islam and the Muslim calendar. http://religion-cults.com/Islam/islam.htm

According to the Islamic calendar, the year 0 is the year 622 AD. That is the year Muhammad converted his first group of followers and started the Islamic faith.

(Dan 9:27 NASB) "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering (the Abomation of Desolation); and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate (Muhammad & the Islam religion), even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

(Dan 9:27 NASB) "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."Even until a complete destruction. The Muslim Empire will be in power until the very end where they will meet their destruction at the return of Messiah.
