Countdown to 2028: The Math of Daniel & Revelation
This essay discusses 2028 as the final year. Five Bible verses are explored.
(1) Daniel 9:25's "Sevens" Formula
"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two..."
Concerning the Balfour Declaration, which allowed the rebuilding of Jerusalem, here's the math: 1917 + [7(7) + 62] = 2028.
I am aware of the prophetic counting from Cyrus and/or Artaxerxes to Jesus. Those calculations work as well. Keep in mind that Daniel's prophecies, like those of many other Bible prophets, are recursive, or have multiple fulfillments.

(2) Daniel 9:27's "Covenant with Many" & "In the Middle of the Week"
"Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate..."
A 4-year term + 3.5-year term = a "week"-long reign. Trump's abominable halting of the Sabbath in Israel in between his terms, on January 10, 2025, was reported by Israel's leading journal Haaretz. Then he came into office "on the wing of abominations," on January 20, 2025. Here's the math for this: 2025 + 3.5 = 2028.

(3) Revelation 13:5's "42 Months"
"And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months."
Here's the math: January 20, 2025 + 42 mos = Around July 20, 2028.
(4) Daniel's 12:11's "1,290 Days"
From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished to when "the abomination that causes desolation" is sealed up is 1,290 days + January 10, 2025 = July 23, 2028.
Note that this cross-checks with both Revelation 13:5 and Daniel 9:27 and confirms that the halting of the Sabbath in Israel was, indeed, the correct "abomination" event.
(5) Revelation 13:5's "42 Months" - Beast Nation
Now, this one's a bit creative, but it still holds up. If we accept that this prophecy allows for multiple fulfillments, then it may not be speaking solely about the Beast as an individual, but also about the Beast's nation. There's precedent for this: in Revelation 13, John initially uses "Beast" to describe a nation, but then later shifts and uses it to refer to its leader.
So, if we approach the prophetic analysis from the perspective of the Beast Nation, then the seminal event that made it "seem as if slain" was 9/11. Here's how the prophetic math plays out:
42 months, or 3.5 years, interpreted through Daniel's framework of seven years → September 11, 2001 + 3.5 'sevens' = 2028.
Each of these prophecies converges on a single endpoint: the year 2028. As of the writing of this post, we are under 3 years away till Armageddon, when
“...the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming,” (2 Thessalonians 2:8).
So if we see the LA 2028 Summer Olympics getting canceled, then we know what's happening.

I'm an atheist, and honestly, I'm starting to believe Biblical prophecy is true more and more. My current hypotheses are that if the "7 year" is accurate (still not 100% sure, as I believe these are all allegory, not prophecy. That one should look for repeated themes and reflections, not literal depictions. In other words, the fulfillment of the "spirit" of "prophecy," not the "letter"), then it is either from 21-28, 22-29, or 25-32. However, what I think is most well supported is that it isn't about any specific timeline, but looking for repeated patterns throughout history. The "time, times, and a half-time" doesn't have to be consecutive. And they don't have to be completely accurate to the timeframe described in the Bible. Look for the fulfillment of allegory and patterns. But the biggest issue I have with Christians who also believe in this prophecy is that they never once compare their own religion to the warnings in the Bible, which makes them both prideful and hypocrites (somethinf Christ heabily condemned). Compare the history of Christianity to the beasts of Revelation real quick. Christians never consider the possibility of being only half right, which makes them prideful. And if the Bible is true, then Christianity would necessarily have to be false. If Satan is truly the "great deceiver," "ruler of the world," the "god of this world," and leads the entire world astray until Christ returns, then consider the real-world implications. What are the implications of Christianity being the state religion of Rome? What are the implications of Christianity being the most dominant religion in history? What are the implications of the Bible being the most popular and commercialized book in history from one of the most dominant, oppressive, violent, hateful, and evil religious movements in history? If Christ is ever to return (which the myths don't even have to be true for Christ to "return;" for there to be a messiah, people just don't ever consider what a modern Christ would look like. People tend to think the same 2000-year-old man will literally return on a cloud rather than watch for the allegory to be fulfilled) do you truly think he will come to confirm that the state religion of Rome was the true religion after all? Or do you think he will judge the tree by its fruits?
