Daniel 9:24-27:
24) Seventy shavuot [sevens/weeks] are decreed for your people and for your set-apart city, to put an end to the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover crookedness, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the Most Set-apart.
25) Know, then, and understand: from the going forth of the command to restore and build Yerushalayim until Messiah the Prince is seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with streets and a trench, but in times of affliction.
26) And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off and have naught. And the people of a coming prince shall destroy the city and the set-apart place. And the end of it is with a flood. And wastes are decreed, and fighting until the end.
27) And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the middle of the week he shall put an end to slaughtering and meal offering. And on the wing of abominations he shall lay waste, even until the complete end and that which is decreed is poured out on the one who lays waste.

Daniel's Shmita Timeline of the Last Days
The following time-line has been developed with insights gathered from numerous sources (listed here), which seem to corroborate or closely corroborate on different levels. Where there isn't agreement, reconciliation has been made with my own reasonings from the Scriptures. However, I readily admit I may be wrong in my reckonings and the input from others may also be wrong. There are many difficult questions which remain and a multitude of opinions. Every individual should be a good Berean and search out and confirm all matters for him/herself and no one should do anything to harm him/herself or others because of what this time-line projects and/or calculates as POSSIBLE fulfillments of End-Time prophecies.
Even though there are many doubts and questions about what happens prior to and during Daniel's 70 Week, there is significant evidence the 70th Week (Shavua) itself will indeed coincide with a Shmita 7-Year cycle (see preceding table). Hence, if the 70th Week does not start on this coming Shmita cycle (2010-2016), then we should then watch for Zechariah's Nuclear War and Eliyahu's arrival before or during the early parts of the next Shmita cycle (e.g. 2017-2023, 2024-2030, etc). If the next cycle progresses past mid-week without seeing the "Abomination of Desolation", then we can reasonably adjust all pertinent future "projected" dates incrementally by adding seven years. Note: astronomical sightings and the 70 year countdown from Israel becoming a nation (1947/1948) will of course be a moot point on the time-line in any future Shmita cycle and will be removed from this page.

| Table 1c | |
| 456/455 BCE - Shmita Year | Decree of Artaxerxes I (Daniel 9:25) to "return" and "rebuild" - Began 69 Week count to Messiah (69 x 7 = 483 ). 456 CE + 483 years = 28 CE. |
| 455/454 BCE - Yobel Year | |
| 3 BCE - Hanukkah | Messiah conceived on Festival of Light (Hanukkah). |
| 3 BCE - Tishrei 15 (Sukkot) | Messiah born on Festival of Sukkot (Tabernacles/Tents/Shelters). |
| 3 BCE - Tishrei 22 (Last Great Day) | Messiah circumcised on the the Last Great Day. |
| 27 CE - Shevat 19 | Messiah baptized by John, beginning 70 week ministry… culminating with Messiah baptizing disciples with Holy Spirit and fire at Shavuot (Sivan 8). |
| 28/29 CE - SHMITA YEAR | Messiah reads Isaiah 61:1-2, "year of favor" (Luke 4:16-21) |
| 28 CE - Aviv 10 | Messiah enters Jerusalem on a Donkey - Lamb is inspected four days. |
| 28 CE - Aviv 14 - Passover | Messiah is "cut off, but not for Himself" |
| 28 CE - Sivan 8 | Disciples baptized with Messiah's Set-Apart Spirit at Shavuot. 490 Days (70 weeks) after baptism by John (another layer of Daniel's Seventy-Sevens). |
| 300 CE (approx) to present | 1st Seal (Rev 6:1-2) - White Horse, a counterfeit of Rev 19's White Horse. Likely the Roman Catholic Church, which has conquered many nations with a religious system of mixed-worship not intended or prescribed by Messiah Yeshua. |
| 600 CE (approx) to present | 2nd Seal (Rev 6:3-4) - Red Horse, given a Great Sword. Likely represented by the sword of Islam and the red of Communism and Nazism. |
| 1000 CE (approx) to present | 3rd Seal (Rev 6:5-6) - Black Horse, with a pair of scales. Likely the developemt of international banking which has effectively enslaved mankind. |
| 1300 CE (approx) to present | 4th Seal (Rev 6:7-8) - Pale-Green Horse, named Death and sent to destroy 1/4th of the world population. The Bubonic Plague (Black Death) is estimated to have killed about 75 million worldwide, easily a fourth of mankind. There have been ongoing plague, famine, and disease ever since. |
| ???? | 5th Seal (Rev 6:9-11) - Martyrs wake up in Heaven, told to go back to sleep for a little while longer. Not the start of persecution because such has already been happening. An event in Heaven, not necessarily visible to us on Earth. |
| Nov 29, 1947 - SHMITA YEAR | Israel proclaimed (decreed) as an independent republic within frontiers approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations. |
| Began 70 year count to Messiah? 1947 + 70 = 2017? | |
| May 15, 1948 - YOBEL YEAR | Act of Independence became effective one minute after six o'clock on the evening of 14 May 1948, Washington time (May 15th in Israel). Judah's tents saved first (Zechariah 12:7). Modern nation of Israel re-established 49th Day of the Counting of Omer (next day was Shavuot/Pentecost), "A nation born in one day" (Isaiah 6:8). Coast shall be for the remnant of Jew-dah (Zeph 2:7). |
| 10-Israel (Ephraim) "remnant" of nations/peoples not re-gathered yet. | |
| ???? | Eliyahu (Elijah) should appear anytime between now and before the 6th Seal, considered by many to be the start of "the great day of YHWH's wrath" (Rev 6:17; Malachi 4:5) or at least preceding the time of Wrath in rapid succession, since the time between the 6th Seal and the 1st Trumpet Judgment will likely be very short if all the events are directly related to the passing of Wormwood/Planet X. |
| 2008 - 1st of Av | Total Solar Eclipse (Aug. 1, 2008) |
| 2009 - Aviv 1 (Mar/Apr) - SHMITA YEAR | 62nd year (from 1947/1948). The 7th and last year of the present Shmita cycle. Possible time for the Last-Days Eliyahu appearance "before the Great and Dreadful Day of YHWH" (Malachi 4:5) - fulfilling the need for the Remnant to have a righteous Judge to begin to unite and call them out of Mystery Babylon (Zechariah 2:6-8) and the four corners of the Earth to Tzion (Israel). Eliyahu may be one of the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11, especially noting the historic parallel ability to "shut the heavens, that it rain not" during the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation (Rev 11:6). |
| 2009 - 1st of Av | Total Solar Eclipse (July 22, 2009) |
| 70th WEEK OF DANIEL 9 | "I shall make mortal man scarcer than fine gold… I shall make the heavens tremble, and the earth shall shake from her place..." (Isaiah 13:12-13) |
| 2010 - Aviv 1 (Mar/Apr) | 63rd year (from 1947/1948). New year and new 7-year Shmita cycle begins. |
| Another POSSIBLE time-frame for Eliyahu to appear (drinking from his cup foretold by traditional Passover meals?), as or with the Two Witnesses, prompting massive Israeli-national change, but also prompting a strong Arab/Muslim world alliance with the goal of Israel's destruction. | |
| 2010 - 1st of Av | Total Solar Eclipse (July 11, 2010) |
| 2010 - Tishrei 1 (Yom Teruah) - 7th Month (Sept/Oct) | 6th Seal (Rev 6:12-17) - Great Earthquake. Sun becomes black and moon becomes like blood. Predicted Solar Eclipses may be disrupted. Heavens depart like a rolled up scroll and every mountain and island are moved from their place. Possibly caused by a Geographic Pole Shift/Galactic train wreck? Solar system passing through Galactic plane? Wormwood/Planet X approaching or passing Earth? "Earth shall stagger like a drunkard" (Isaiah 24:20). |
| Arab/Muslim alliance attacks Judah-Israel (Psalm 83) - Zechariah's Nuclear War - 10 days of Awe begin, an "overflowing scourge" - Kingdom of Jew-dah "like a melting pot" destroys her attackers with fire (Zech 12:1-6). Damascus becomes a ruinous heap (Isaiah 17:1). | |
| 2010 - Tishrei 10 (Yom Kippur) | "Confirmation of the Covenant" (Daniel 9:27)? Ark of the Covenant revealed? (much controversy on who by and who for this covenant is confirmed). |
| Anti-Messiah makes hidden (non-public?) pact with 10 kings/leaders, "Confirmation of the Covenant" (Daniel 9:27)? Together, the Beast and 10 leaders plan to destroy the USA, Mystery Babylon #1 (daughter) with fire (Rev 17:1-18; Jer 51:12; Zech 2:7). | |
| 2010 - Tishrei 15 (Sukkot) | The 144,000 of Rev 7 and "the Woman" of Rev 12 gathered at Jerusalem for the Festival of Tabernacles made possible by preceding events and Eliyahu. |
| 2010 | 7th Seal (Rev 7:1-8:6) - Winds of Wrath restrained for "half an hour" until the 144,000 are sealed from each tribe of Israel. |
| 2010 - Tishrei (First Fruits) | The 144,000 sealed in Jerusalem. First Fruits of Elohim (Rev 14:1-5). |
| 2010 - Kislev 25 (Hanukkah) | Eight-day altar dedication begins (Rev 11; 2Thess 2:4) |
| 2010 - Tevet 3 | Sacrifices begin - 2300 evening and morning = 1150 days (Dan 8:13-14). |
| 2010 - Adar II | 7 months to cleanse the land before next Passover. |
| 2011? - Sivan (Shavuot) | Once fully empowered by the Spirit during the Festival of Pentecost, the 144,000 leave Jerusalem and go 2 by 2 as witnesses to all nations/peoples (Rev 14:6). Will parallel Acts 1-2 events and they will fulfill the "great commission" of Matt 24:14. Possibly the last warning before the 7 Trumpet judgments? |
| 2011 - 2012? | 1st Trumpet - Hail and fire - burn 1/3 of trees and fire (Rev 8:7) |
| 2nd Trumpet - Asteroid hits ocean (Rev 8:8). Tsunamis? | |
| 3rd Trumpet - 1/3 of rivers and lakes become bitter (Rev 8:10-11). Debris from Wormwood star? | |
| 4th Trumpet - 1/3 of sun, moon, and stars darkened (Rev 8:12). | |
| World Undone, making way for broad acceptance of the False-Messiah (who will become identifiable at the 5th Trumpet in the "midst of the week"). | |
| 2012 - 2014? | Nuclear World War III - Russia (and China?) destroy what is left of the USA - Mystery Babylon #1 "is fallen" (Rev 14:8). Wings plucked (Dan 7:4), Mother Babylon is humiliated at her Daughter's destruction (Jer 51:12). |
| The Beast (Anti-Messiah) campaigns "publicly" to bring order with hard-to-resist solutions to solve world crisis. He also prepares to devour Messianic Israel (Rev 12). | |
| 2013 - Tevet 15 (Dec/Jan) | "The blessing of 'coming to the 1335 days' is still uncertain, but since it is 45 days before the Abomination when Jesus said to absolutely flee by, it could be the timing of when the righteous leave as a group in plenty of time rather than last minute upon seeing the Abomination.“ -KTF, McHyde p.103 (Dan 12:12) |
| The Righteous will know "the Desolation" is near because the armies of Mystery Babylon (the Mother) will be surrounding Jerusalem (Luke 21:20). | |
| 2013 - Adar 15 (Feb/Mar) - Purim | Sacrifices stopped by "Haman", 1290 Days until Tabernacles/Marriage Consummation (Dan 9:27;11:31;12:11; Mark 13:14; Matt 24:15). |
| GREAT TRIBULATION (3.5 years) | Time of "Jacob's Trouble" (Jeremiah 30:1-11). Birth pains reach their climax (Rev 12:1-4; John 16:16-22). |
| 2014 - Aviv 1 (Mar/Apr) | 67th year (from 1947/1948). 5th Trumpet. Reign of Anti-Messiah (42 months) begins. Two Witnesses begin frustrating Anti-Messiah from Jerusalem for 1260 days (Rev 11:3). |
| 2014 - Aviv 10 | "Abomination of Desolation" setup in the Holiest Place by the False-Messiah and "the Woman" is given wings to flee to Edom (modern-day southern Jordan). The Beast is enraged by her escape and turns to those which didn't (Dan 9:27;11:31;12:11; Mark 13:14; Matt 24:15-16; Rev 12; Zeph 2:1-3). |
| The Beast begins to consume Jacob, 10-Israel (multitude of nations-Gen 48:19), and Judah (the Jews), those still IN the nations who are NOT counted with the 144,000 or "the Woman". Mortal man scarcer than fine gold (Isaiah 13). "…cities will be ruins without inhabitant" (Jer 4:7). | |
| 2014 - Aviv 15 | 1335 day countdown to dedication of Millennial Temple (see Rood's Calendar)? Blessing is that they live to see the New Temple? (Daniel 12:12) |
| 2014 - Aviv 15 (Passover) | Blood-red moon (4/15/2014) - technically Unleavened Bread. |
| 2014 - Tishrei 14 (Erev Sukkot) | Blood-red moon (10/8/2014) |
| 2015 - Aviv 15 (Passover) | Blood-red moon (4/4/2015) - technically Unleavened Bread. |
| 2015 - Tishrei 15 (Sukkot) | Blood-red moon (9/28/2015) |
| 2015? | 6th Trumpet - World War IV - China and Russia alarmed at the Beast's thirst for blood and power... "tidings from the north and east" - 1/3 of mankind dies (Rev 9:13-21; Dan 11:44). |
| 2016/2017 - Aviv 1 - SHMITA YEAR | 69th year (from 1947/1948). 7th Year in 2010-2016 Shmita Cycle. |
| 2017, Elul 28 (Sept/Oct) | Two Witnesses put to death 3.5 days before Feast of Trumpets (the 7th Trumpet), the start of the next year and Shmita cycle (Rev 11:7-12). |
| 2017/2018 - Tishrei 1 (Sept/Oct) - Festival of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) | 70th year (from 1947/1948). 7th Trumpet (the Last Trumpet) - Messiah appears in the sky - Two Witnesses raised to life - Resurrection of the Righteous - Ezekiel 37's Dry dead bones come to life - Rapture of the Elect |
| 2017 - Tishrei 10 thru 22 | Gog-Magog War I - Mystery Babylon #2 (mother) "is fallen" (Rev 18:2). |
| Ha-Satan bound for 1000 years (Rev 20:1-3; Lev 16). | |
| Beast and False prophet cast into Lake of Fire (Rev 20:10). | |
| Messiah reigns for 1000 years (Rev 20). | |
| 1st Resurrection, Messianic martyrs reign with Messiah (Rev 20:4-5). | |
| Re-marriage celebration of Remnant "surviving" Israel (Joseph and Judah) and their "Companions", a Mixed-Multitude (Ezekiel 37; Jeremiah 31:31) . | |
| 2017 - Kislev 25 | Dedication of Messiah's Millennial Temple |
| 3017 | Ha-Satan (the-Adversary) released for short period before the Gog-Magog War II. Given time to deceive the nations/peoples once more (Rev 20:3,7-11). |
| 30?? The Last Great Day | 2nd Resurrection, Great White Throne Judgment (Rev 20:5,11-15). Ha-Satan is thrown into the Lake of Fire forever (Rev 20:10). |
| ???? New Heaven and New Earth | No more pain, mourning, or death. Former matters passed away (Rev 21:4). |
| ???? New Jerusalem established | Jerusalem and the 12 Gates restored for the Bride of the Lamb, Remnant Israel (Rev 21:9-27) |
