1 year = 1 prophetic day = 24 prophetic hours (Ezekiel 4:6)
Revelation 14 gives us two starting points that end at the same time destination and one confirms the other.
Time
144,000 = The first ending point which tells us when it began
100, 40, and 4000 = The second ending point and where it began
Both yield the same ending point
144,000
6 days = 144 hours and 6000 days = 144,000 hours (6000 x 24)
From Adam to 2000 AD = 6000 years or 144,000 prophetic hours (A day for a year) This is the first application of a beginning and ending point that Chapter 14 reveals about where we are in prophetic history.
100, 40, and 4000 (40 years in the wilderness)
2000 AD [subtract] 4000 years brings us back to 2000 BC or the time of Abraham
100 years = 1 Century, and there are 40 years of wilderness “time” in each century
Years = 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 etc.
Now convert the years into military time signatures
Time = 19:56, 19:57, 19:58, 19:59
We do not write time the following way: 19:60, 19:61, 19:62
19:59…….20:00 = 1959 and 2000 AD which leaves 40 years of wilderness time from 19:60 to 19:99 (1960 to 1999)
4000 years = 40 centuries X 40 years of wilderness time per century = 1600 years of wilderness time from 2000 BC to 2000 AD
Adam + 144,000 prophetic hours = 2000 AD
Abraham + 1600 years of wilderness time = 2000 AD
Revelation 14:20 – “And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.”
