Keep at it brother, many may doubt or defer to a passive approach at the end of this age. But keep at it, you may reach more than you think. Stay open to others input. All we can do is go and make disciple in Christ.

Some people would say that according to : Luke 21:20-22
New International Version
20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written.

the timing would be perfect in 30 A.D. because somehow according to this prophecy they had time to escape the city. And some people argue that the romans left for a short while after the siege began giving Christians enough time to escape before the destruction.

Either way, thanks for the video, I learned a lot from watching!

Christ announced in Nazareth in Luke 4, the "acceptable year", from Isaiah's Book, and that HAD TO BE ON the Day of Atonement in the year in which He was baptized of John, in the FALL Feast, ON the Day of Atonement, when the Jubilee year is announced. THAT was announced AHEAD of the Jubilee year which would begin the following Abib 1, that comes AFTER the Day of Atonement (Christ BEGAN His Ministry AFTER the death of John, and after the Marriage at Cana, in 27AD). And...what DAY OF THE WEEK was the PASSOVER, or the 14th Abib in 29AD, 2 years later, after the 3rd Passover of His ministry? That THIRD Passover has to be the preparation day for the WEEKLY Sabbath (a HIGH DAY needs no preparation unless it is ALSO a weekly Sabbath Day), a "Friday" Roman time frame, or Christ would have broken the Law of The Peace Offering: Lev.7:11-21 and Lev.18:5-8. Christ would also have broken the Law of the Peace Offering IF He was crucified on a Wednesday. Christ was not IN THE TOMB for 3 days and 3 nights, but was PAYING for OUR SINS for three DAYS and three NIGHTS, not backwards to Matt.12:40 or 3 NIGHTS and 3 DAYS. He paid for our sins by first BETRAYAL, then ARREST, SCOURGING, TRIAL, Crucifixion, DEATH, and BURIAL. He Rested in the TOMB on the Weekly Sabbath Day, also a High Day that year and He was resurrected after the THIRD of 3 NIGHTS paying for sins, sometime BEFORE Mary arrived at the tomb and it was still "dark". Matt.12:40 uses 3 keywords, "heart", "earth", and "belly", all related to man's carnal nature, his carnal "heart" or mindset, the "earthiess" of man ("fleshly", of "dust"), and the seat of man's emotions: man's "belly", which are hatred, lust, adultery, and the like. Christ paid for man's SINS by His complete Sacrifice which took 3 DAYS and 3 NIGHTS to complete, and then He said, "It is finished." What was finished? Paying for our sins is what was FINISHED, as the following 12 verses explain (a COMPLETE SACRIFICE for SIN, as described in Isaiah 53):

12 Verses
1. "From that time forth began Jesus to show unto His disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day." (Matthew 16:21)
2. "Jesus said unto them, the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of man; and they shall kill Him, and the third day He shall be raised again."(Matthew 17:22)
3. "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death, and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles, to mock and to scourge, and to crucify Him, and the third day He shall rise again." (Matthew 20:18)
4. "Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again." (Mark 8:31)
5. "For He taught His disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill Him, and after that He is killed, He shall rise the third day." (Mark 9:31) (note: the repetition emphasizes Jesus was definitely dead, in other words, "make no mistake He IS KILLED" and not isolating the sequence.)
6. "and they shall mock Him, and shall scourge Him, and shall spit upon Him, and shall kill Him, and the third day He shall rise again." (Mark 10:34)
7. "Saying, the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day." (Luke 9:22)
8. "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished, for He shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on, and they shall scourge Him, and put Him to death, and the third day He shall rise again." (Luke 18:31)
9. "The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men, crucified, and the third day rise again." (Luke 24:7)
10. (The disciples were explaining unknowingly to the risen Jesus ) "And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and have crucified Him. But we trusted that it had to be He which should have redeemed Israel, and besides all this, today is the third day since these things (plural) were done." (Luke 24:20) (This verse is unique in that Jesus then replied, "O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory?' " (Luke 24:25)
11. "And said unto them, thus it is written and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day." (Luke 24:46
12. "And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day." (note: Look up the original Greek word for "slew" used in the New Testament. It means "Alas! woe" which are clearly suffering and included in the sequence. By our definition, "slew" means: "To kill by violent means." ~American Heritage ) (Acts 10:39)
Notice how each one gives the necessary sequence. ALL verses follow the pattern and include the "deliverance, " "betrayal, " or "suffering" of Jesus within the sentence describing the three-day timeframe.

Regarding the Law of the Peace Offering: Christ's Sacrifice was ALL of the Offerings, and was a PEACE OFFERING as well as a SIN OFFERING as Colossians tells us:
Col.1:20
"And, having made PEACE through the BLOOD OF HIS CROSS, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."

Christ made PEACE as verses 21 through 23 describe:
"And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled (22) In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: (23) If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the HOPE of The GOSPEL, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister:"

This shows HOW Christ MADE PEACE for us, , between US and GOD, through His fleshly sacrifice that He "finished" in 3 Days and 3 Nights, by betrayal, arrest, scourging, trial, crucifixion, death and burial. He IS our Passover Lamb. The "HOPE of The Gospel" is that we may obtain Eternal Life, by His Blood Sacrifice PAID for us, that we can claim when we REPENT (of sin, which is the transgression of the Law: I John 3:4) and are BAPTIZED ("buried with Him in baptism") and receive the Holy Spirit by laying on of hands.

Regarding Herod: he murdered the innocent babies of Bethlehem, UP TO 2 years of age, but IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT Christ was born in 5BC, Herod died before Passover in 4BC, and 14th Year Tiberius was when Tibers began to be coregent WITH Augustus, in 12 AD, 2 years before Augustus died, when Tiberius and Augustus both had their engravings on coins front and back: 12AD to 26AD (inclusive counting) = 15th year Tiberius, 26AD Christ's baptism, and He began His 2 year ministry after Abib 1 of 27AD, crucified in 29AD. That would make the Sabbatic year for Jerusalem Abib 1, 69AD to END of Adar 70AD, when Tiberius moved his troops into Jerusalem to destroy it after the Sabbatic year had finished, and there was starvation in Jerusalem due to war, and God let Jerusalem FALL because they weren't keeping God's Law as they should. The Jerusalem Church FLED TO PELLA in the Sabbatic year, AFTER Pentecost 69AD, when they had food in store during the Sabbatic year to eat.

Yes, this would add up to year "6, 000" being the Sabbatic year, 2027-2028, the Millenium beginning Abib 1 in 2028. This would mean the "laof the WHOLE EARTH, to be the "king of the north", the WHOLE EARTH, to be the "king of the north", NATO is the "north", and its king is the (last) President of the United States! Daniel 8:11 says of this person, "BY HIM the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down." Etc., and "he shall also stand up against thout hand." Verse 25 but he shall be broken without hand." Verse 25. If these things are so, then the Tribulation is "at the doors", and WOES are scheduled to begin within the next 2-3 years or less! Nevertheless, there is not much TIME to repent of SINS. To repent of sins one must LEARN the Law of God, and KEEP it diligently. Learn about the ordinances of the heavens to have God's correct calendar, without following the Jew's calendar, and KEEP God's Festivals (Lev.23) with the new moons (not one of the six working days: Ezek.46:1, 3)), and the Commandments, with the Statutes and Judgments, which are God's ETERNAL Law, that is HOLY, JUST, and GOOD, as the Apostle said. and which Christ DIED for our breaking the Law. No one is justified by the Law, but FAITH is established by our keeping the Law, our FAITH in the Blood of Christ to pay for those sins. We MUST overcome our sins, BY repenting, and receiving the Holy Spirit of POWER to keep the Law. The Law DEFINES sin, so we must repent of breaking it to receive the Blood of Christ to cover our sins. The weightier matters of the Law are JUDGMENT, MERCY, and FAITH: God's GOOD JUDGMENT, MERCY on others, and the FAITH to continue to walk in the Holy Spirit of obedience. The Law is NOT "done away" by Christ's sacrifice: He just took away our DaEATH PENTALTY (when we repent). THAT is the True Gospel. NOTE: The New Moon of Abib in 29AD was ON a Friday night in Jerusalem, but since space explorations in the late 1960s, science has shown us the moon has been moving AWAY from earth 1.5 inches per year.

Leviticus 12:: 2 Speak to the children of Yashar'el, saying: If a woman has conceived seed, and has born a male child: then she shall be unclean for seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying thirty-three days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are fulfilled. 5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.

If Jesus is returning in 2028 so the 3.5 years great tribulation must start in 2025 prior to Christ second coming

[Sirrus-Adam]

You're close. A divine revelation puts it in the year AD 30.
172:0.1 (1878.1) JESUS and the apostles arrived at Bethany shortly after four o’clock on Friday afternoon, March 31, A.D. 30. Lazarus, his sisters, and their friends were expecting them; and since so many people came every day to talk with Lazarus about his resurrection, Jesus was informed that arrangements had been made for him to stay with a neighboring believer, one Simon, the leading citizen of the little village since the death of Lazarus’s father. [Urantia Book, Paper 172]

[Resist.Tyranny]

I hope you will take some time to be Berean and study Historicist interpretation of prophecy as taught by the Reformers. I can tell from your other references to the tribulation and the church age, you have not.

[KarinClark-yy]

Jesus was born about 6AD, because he was two years old when the maji visited King Herod in 4AD. Herod died six months later that same year. Jesus was 30 years old in 25AD. And they say his ministry lasted 3 years, which would have meant his crucification was in 28AD.

[UVJadhav-fblgnrq]

Luke 13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain [man] had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Luke 13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these THREE years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
Luke 13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, LET IT ALONE THIS YEAR ALSO, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:
Luke 13:9 And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down.

From the above parable it is clear that Jesus himself is taking about his ministry that it would last more than 3 years. And requesting GOD the Father to extend it by a year. Because in the parable 3 years were already completed. It was prophetic that his ministry would be more than 3 years in duration. So your calculation about his ministry starting in 27 AD and ending in AD 29 giving 2.5 years is incorrect.
Secondly, The Lord Jesus was not born in Sep/Oct. because the Lambs for the Passover feast would have to be 1 year old exactly to be sacrificed. That means it had to be born exactly a year early during the same time. Since Passover feast falls in the spring season, March-April, Lambs were born in Israel in the spring season, not in the fall. Christ is also over Passover Lamb, hence he was born in the Spring season, precisely Nissan 1.
The Woman in Revelation 12 which you refer to, to denote the birth of the Lord Jesus is travailing in pain to be delivered. That does not give you the season of deliverance, only that she has labor pains.
Hope you ponder over these things.
Thanks.

The cornerstone's inscription included the phrase "and in the year of Masonry 5793". The Masonic year 5793 corresponds to the Gregorian year 1793, as Masonic dating uses Anno Lucis (A.L.) which is the year of light, and adds 4000 to the Gregorian year to align with the estimated year of creation.

Eusebius...Tiberius ruled the Romans. In the 15th year of his reign, which was the fourth year of the 201st Olympiad [28
A.D.], our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ appeared among humankind.
Thus [the period] from Antiochus Epiphanes until the 15th year of Tiberius contains 201 years. [The period] from Alexander of Macedon to the same [15th] year of Tiberius contains 352 years. From the second year of Darius to [the 15th year] of Tiberius is 548 years. From the 15th year of Tiberius to the very end of the siege of Jerusalem — which occurred in the second year of Vespasian — is a total of 42 years. From Adam until the second year of Darius, is 4680 years. From the second year of Darius until the 15th year of Tiberius, is 548 years. Thus from Adam until the 15th year of Tiberius, a total of 5228 years

[cmnndr]

how can he be a high priest as a human if he doesnt have the right age for it according to the law? this would mean he would not respect the law. also how does a ministry of less than 3 years fit into the prophecy of daniel? and another thing, as he was prophet, priest and king, but rejected, this means he was alive when doing so and rejected before his death so he would have had to be 30 before he died on the cross.
