HWA's Beast Chart
may hold key
to endtime chronology
Having
long sought clues to how God is working out endtime prophecy in the
light of Herbert W Armstrong's ministry as the endtime Elijah, this
author presents the following notes which need to be seen in the light
of Mr Armstrong's Beast Chart, and the chronological time-line
revolving around his ministry.
Mr
Armstrong often pointed out the 19-year (Moon Cycles) that marked
important events in the Church. The Hebrew Calendar also has 28-year
Sun Cycles. Note how these can be found in the Beast Chart below.
539BC Belshazzar's Babylonian Empire fell on the
Feast of Trumpets, according to the 2004 edition of the booklet "The Beast of Revelation" (based on Mr Armstrong's booklet), published
by the Living Church of God.
+1092 years, or 39 Sun Cycles of 28 years.
-----------
= 554AD Justinian's Restoration.
+1260 years, or 45 Sun Cycles.
-----------
=1814 Napoleon (5th Head of Rev 17) fell.
+ 56 years, or 2 Sun Cycles.
-----------
=1870 6th head of Revelation 17 started with Garibaldi.
+ 56 years, or 2 Sun Cycles.
-----------
=1926 HWA activated as Elijah, ideally
on Trumpets 9-9-1926.
+ 56 years, or 2 Sun Cycles.
-----------
1982 =2520 years (or 90 Sun Cycles) from the fall of Babylon.
The year Dr Herman L. Hoeh predicted the band around the Gentile tree
would be loosed. Helmut Kohl
became German Chancellor 13 days after Trumpets on October 1.
He united Germany and could be said to be the architect of a united
Europe which is leading to the endtime Beast Power.
+28 years
------------
=2010 The Feast of Trumpets in 2010 is 91 Sun Cycles from Babylon's
fall, and may see an important event leading to the endtime fall of Babylon the Great.
- Trumpets
2010 is also 7 Sun Cycles after Napoleon fell. And 3 Sun Cycles after
Herbert W Armstrong was first called around Trumpets 1926.
- This
can't all be accidental. And may indicate that 2010 is a critical
year in fulfilled prophecy..
