1290 + 1335 years to the day
from the Prophecy of Ezekiel 31


A prophecy about Egypt and her king;
but is God saying the same thing to America?
Selected verses from Ezek. 31 (NIV)

"Who can be compared with you in majesty?

Consider Assyria, once a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest; it towered on high, its top above the thick foliage. The waters nourished it...It towered higher than all the trees of the field...It was majestic in beauty, with its spreading boughs, for its roots went down to abundant waters...

Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because it towered on high lifting its top above the thick foliage, and because it was proud of its height, I handed it over to the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside, and the most ruthless of foreign nations cut it down and left it...Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well watered are ever to reach such a height; they are destined for death...
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit."
(And see whole prophecy).


For years I have been tracking world events 945,000 days from the siege of Jerusalem, (589-586 BC). It was for this very reason that I happened upon this passage of Scripture. I noticed the obvious parallels between the "towering tree" of Ezek. 31 with that of the pride of America embodied in the Twin Towers only after I had counted back the 945,000 days. However, I do not believe that the 'king of Egypt' in this passage refers to the President of the United States. The culminative fulfillment of Ezek. 31 is still future.

(The siege of Jerusalem that led to her exile figures largely among the prophets. "945,000 days" is 1290 + 1335 years [Dan. 12:12], and a great deal more as we shall see!)

Ezekiel received his prophecy on Tue. May 17, Sivan 1, 587 BC:

"And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me..." (Ezek. 31:1).

From this date, until Tues. Sept. 11, 2001, are exactly 945,000 days.

(If your wish, click here for verification of this by using an online calendar converter.
Use the 'Julian day count' to calculate the date 945,000 days ago.

And what is so special about 945,000 days?

945,000 days is 1290 + 1335 years
(of 360 days in a year of the well known prophetic calendar). 1290 + 1335 = 2625, times 360 days = 945,000 days.

1290 + 1335 are the two numbers given by the prophet Daniel, (12:11-12).


945,000 days is 1000 times the number of days of the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. The siege lasted 945 days before Jerusalem and its temple fell. The prophecy of Ezk. 31 was given during this siege!---430 days before the temple was burned.


Ezekiel performed a symbolic siege of the city seven years before the actual city fell, Ezk. 4). He was commanded to lay on his side 390 days, and then another 40 (= 430), "A day for each year," (Ezk. 4). 390 days of Ezekiel's symbolic siege plus the 945 of the actual totals 1335 days.

Also, 430 x 3 years is 1290 years, and the city fell 1290 years after Israel went into Egypt 430 years. ('In Egypt' 1876 BC, to 1446 BC 'exodus from Egypt,' to 586 BC 'back to Egypt and Babylonian captivity!').


For these reasons and more, I am confident that the 945,000 days from the prophecy of Ezekiel 31 is not by chance, but by divine foreknowledge---and a warning; that as "Egypt" was no better than "Assyria," and as "Babylon" was no better than "Egypt"---for all were judged for their lofty pride, one by one---even so, "America" is no better than Babylon. Unless she repents she will likewise vanish away as a nation.

Why would God make it so hard to figure out something if he wanted His people to know this. I don't think God would do this. There may be some kind of numbers code or other code in the Bible but I don't think it was the work of God. And I also think you can make anything work out if you spend enough time and effort and look for a number here and a number there. Just doesn't make sense to me that you would have to be a mathematition to fully understand the Bible. But it does make for a good drama. rolleyes.gif We are supposed to be the children of God. I like something children can understand.

some people are ment to figure out these things and some people arn't....... some people just don't get it and with other people its easy...... god has a plan for us were not all meant to understand his messages some of us are meant to preach or prophesies and well not alot of people understand prophesies they turn them down and laugh at them but all of a sudden when it comes true they don't know what to do so they run and hide..

People often complain that the bible is too hard to understand, so for that reason we should not read the bible?!? Of course not! So it is that there are certain things in the bible that are hard to understand. Should they be ignored? Of course not.

I find the numbers in the bible very simple to understand. God gives each of us according to our calling and appetite. It says in the book of Hebrews that the writer could not teach them other than the basics of the faith because they were immature and would not appreciate them. Peter said of Paul that Paul spoke about things hard to understand. And, should we eliminate the book of Revelation from the rest of the bible since it is very hard to understand---more than the bible numbers? We do God a disservice when we try to box Him in. He likes to keep us in wonder of Him so that we are humbled by His majesty. Once we think we got it all figured out we become religious rather than in relationship with Him.

God knows what He is doing. There is hardly a page in the bible without symbolic numbers being used (and other such things). To fail to study them is neglect. What are they there for? I have found the numbers of the bible to have strengthened my faith more than any one thing in all the bible, and was the means of keeping me in the faith, for once you understand them you will be on your face in awe---too weak to stay on your feet---declaring, "My ears heard about you, but now my eyes have seen you; therefore I repent in dust and ashes!"

Jesus said, "But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear, for I tell you the truth that many kings and wise men wanted to hear the things that you heard and did not." "Whoever has will be given an abundance."

Thank God for the numbers in the bible---for without them I had my doubts about the validity of bible prophecy---since most prophecies are vague. But now I see that every prophecy is numerically backed up so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses all things are established. Thanks be to God for thinking of Thomas' like me who need some proof to believe since there are so many conflicting claims out there. And blessed be God for true bible codes, for they have sifted the Church and challenged her by showing their 'great ones' that there are one or two things they still don't know yet!!!!! Jesus constantly did things that disturbed the status quo. The Pharisees hated Him for it; and, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!"

Let us not take the mystery and majesty out of the bible when they declare our Lord Jesus Christ. As long as they declare Him, then, we should rejoice---even if for now we have trouble grasping it. Take a few hours or days to study further and slowly all will make sense, for I put the bible numbers on my website (see below) at about a grade 4-6 level---that is all. It is simply plus and minus math. Only the details get complicated, and they are not necessary to study unless you desire to be enriched further. For the basics of the bible numbers is all that is needed to be blessed. Just as a little skill on an instrument can be a great blessing---even so, we all don't have to be experts---surely!

If you think I am a little annoyed---your right! For I have heard this kind of reasoning over and over again. The simplicity of Christ does not mean that there is no depth in Christ!!! That scripture simply means that if we are taken away from the simplicity of believing on Jesus for salvation to that of needing knowledge for salvation---then indeed we have strayed from the faith. For instance, trusting in psychology rather than Christ for the "good" life is wrong. But few even discern it! (Christian psychology is an abomination!) But to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God is a good thing, and without it we will be tossed about by every wind of doctrine---not knowing God or our bible.

The truth of the matter is that the bible numbers have been revealed in these last days to equip the saints to endure coming persecution by strengthening their faith and hope in God. However, (true) bible codes are for a sign to the Jew first, and then to the Gentile. And they vindicate the bible numbers that they are from God and not man. For they work in harmony. For in the end, it will be the bible numbers that will be the source of strength, not the codes. The codes are destined to fade away sooner than the bible numbers. I believe that the numbers will be studied in the coming millennium, but the codes are only a temporary blip to get our attention about the coming tribulation period that precedes this 1000-year reign of Christ. For this reason, the bible numbers are greater than the codes, though for now the codes have greater preeminence.

Even so come Lord Jesus!
