measurements found after
At the end of "400 years," "in the 4th generation," Israel came out of Egypt (Genesis 15:13-16), and built the tabernacle. (This makes a conventional generation as 100 years.)
After the tabernacle was built, the 12 tribes of Israel wandered 40 years in the desert, (Numbers 14:34), also called a "generation."
Moses, himself lived 40 x 3 years, or, 120 years.
"In the 480th year after Israelites had come out of Egypt, Solomon began to build the temple, (1Kgs. 6:1).
(I.e., 12 x 40 = 480 years, or 12 generations. ) "It took him 7 years to build the temple," (1Kgs. 6:38),
which was 36,000 cubic cubits, (1Kgs. 6:2), by 3600 foremen, (2Chron. 2:2).It took 3½-years to build Zerubabbel's temple, (i.e., half of seven years), which was 3600 sq. cubits, (Ezra 6:4).
Ezekiel was commanded to symbolically besiege Jerusalem (with its temple) 390 + 40 days, a total of 430 , (Ezek. 4:1-8; 24:15-27).
"How long ...rebellion that cause desolation (of temple)..."It will take 2300 evenings and mornings",
(i.e., 1150 days), (Daniel 8:14)."70 x 7 (days/years) are decreed...to anoint the Most Holy Place," (Daniel 9:24).
"In the middle of the 'seven'...on the wing of temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation... (Daniel 9:27). "The middle of seven years" equals 1260 and 1290 of the 360-day calendar, 1270 of the Hebrew lunar calendar , and 1280 of our modern solar calendar.
"From the time...the abomination that causes desolation is set up (in temple), there will be 1290 days.
Blessed is the one...reaches ...1335 days," (Daniel 12:11,12)."Go and measure the temple...they will trample...42 months,"
(42 months of 30 days = 1260 days, that is, half-of-seven years, which makes a 360-day year.)"Go and measure the temple...They will prophesy 1260 days..." (Revelation 11:1, 3).
"...a place...in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time..." (Revelation 12:15).
"The women fled into the desert...where she might be taken care of 1260 days." (Revelation 12:6).
When Jesus died, the curtain was torn in Herod's temple that separated the Holy from the Most Holy Place. The temple had stood for 49 years (7 x 7). "It was the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two...And He breathed His last," (Luke 23:44-46).
The future city (temple) in heaven is 144 million sq. stadia, and it walls 144 cubits thick, (i.e., 4 x 360 = 1440, etc,) and is built at the end of 7000 years, (2Pet. 3:8; Revelation 20:6; 21:16-17).
"I did not see a temple in the city because the Lord God Almighty ad the Lamb is its lamp. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light and the Lamb is its lamp," (Revelation 21:22-23).Tabernacle- The Temple of Time!
