“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.” – Genesis 2:1-2
First Hint. I believe the hints about when the Tribulation would happen were sprinkled throughout scripture starting in the very beginning in Genesis. The Creation Story. God created the world in six days, and on the seventh He rested. The creation process is six days of work, one day of rest.
“ But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” – 2 Peter 3:8
Second Hint. One Day to the LORD is AS a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. This isn’t meant to be a mathematically consistent formula or merely a general statement that God’s days are much longer than for mankind but I believe it is a hint at the overall length that will be world history. Seven days to God and Seven thousand years to man.
Right now we are in the year 2026 AD. According to biblical scholars the biblical timeline given in scripture puts the creation of Adam and Eve at 4004 BC. I always thought that was such an odd starting point. I believe God has woven everything together in a master plan including the timelines of his work here in creation. Then I noticed something else.
Most people believe Jesus was born 0 AD, but in reality there is no such thing as 0 AD. We go from 1 BC to 1 AD. According to historical record Herod the Great died in 4 BC. His rule in Judea was 37 BC to 4 BC but the bible says Jesus was born under his rule.
“Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king…” – Matthew 2:1
So, if the bible is true which we know it is, Jesus would have to be born no later than 4 BC when Herod the Great ruled Judea. Also, historians estimate John the Baptist was also born between 6 BC and 4 BC and the bible says John and Jesus were born 6 months apart.
So creation in 4004 BC, the birth of the LORD Jesus in 4 BC.
But doesnt the bible say Jesus was around 30 when he started his ministry?
Actually it says “About”.
“Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age”- Luke 3:23
Ok so let’s look at the timeline of Jesus Death, Burial, Resurrection and Ascension.
Jesus was crucified under the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate. He governed from 26 AD – 36 AD.
Instead of going through all the points which aim to one year I will sum them up. Because we know Jesus was crucified on Passover, the next day being the Sabbath there are only 2 dates under Pontius Pilate this happened. 30 AD and 33 AD. We also can use John the Baptist death around the start of Jesus ministry to help us out. John the Baptist was killed in the 15th year of the reign of Roman Emperor Tiberias, which was around 28/29 AD and Jesus ministry was 3.5 years long. That puts us again at the 33 AD date. Also the bible talks of darkness, there was a partial lunar eclipse visible from Jerusalem April 3, 33 AD the day of Passover.
So lets assume for arguments sake Jesus was crucified April 3, 33 AD. His Resurrection was April 5th, his Ascension was May 14th 33 AD.
So let’s go back to the original hints, the creation story being 7 days and apply that to where we are currently in history.
Creation 4004 BC
Jesus Birth 4 BC (Exactly 4,000 years after the creation of Adam)
Jesus Ascension 33 AD (Jesus going to prepare a place for us)
Us Today 2026 AD. Seven years short of the 2,000th year since He left to Heaven. So when is He going to return? Lets look at what He told Inner Three when they asked.
“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” – Matthew 24:15-16
Something has to happen before Jesus returns. Again Paul reiterates what must take place before Jesus returns.
“Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction” – 2 Thess. 2:3
So before Jesus comes, there must be a rebellion led by The Man of Lawlessness or as we know him, the Anti-Christ. He must come into the Temple of God and declare himself instead god. He will conquer Israel, conquer Jerusalem and the Temple and he will kill the Two Witnesses of God before they resurrect and ascend 3 days later. But that is in the middle of the Tribulation. So we know, the Tribulation is the time right before Jesus returns. In the book of Revelation it is known as a 7 year period, 42 months and 42 months. In the book of Daniel the exact day count is found for the Tribulation and it is 2,550 days exactly.
The bible also says Jesus will have a Millennial reign of 1,000 years on Earth before there is a New Heaven and New Earth and New Jerusalem that comes down to us. The eternal city.
So we are 7 years short of the 2,000th year since Christ ascended. The Tribulation is 7 years before the return of Christ and establishment of His Kingdom. God worked in creation for 6 days and rested on the 7th day. 2033 will be 2,000 years since Christ Ascended and 6,000 years since creation plus the life of Christ exactly. Our Story, plus Christ Story.
So if you take the hints of scripture and the historical timelines we should be approaching the Tribulation this year and the Establishment of Christ’s Kingdom in 2033 so that He can reign for 1,000 years from Jerusalem. And after the thousand years and Satan’s final rebellion, the New Jerusalem will come down to us and there will be a New Heaven and New Earth around the year 3033 AD.
Now we narrow backwards to where we are and when the Tribulation will start. Let’s start at 3033 AD, ok now take off the millennial reign. Ok now we are at May 14, 2033 the 2,000th year since Christ left to Heaven. Go backward the 2,550 days of the Tribulation and where does that get you?
May 21st, 2026.
Now I’ll show you why that date is significant.
Jesus was Crucified on the Feast of Passover.
Jesus was in the grave for the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Jesus was Resurrected on the Feast of First Fruits.
Jesus Ascended in between the Feast of First Fruits and the Feast of Weeks which is known as the count of Omer.
The Holy Spirit Descended on The Feast of Weeks, our Christian Pentecost.
May 21, 2026 is on The Feast of Weeks, Pentecost.
Think about that. The 6,000th year of history which includes the life of Christ is May 14th 2033 and when you take away the length of the Tribulation from that point you arrive right back to The Feast of Weeks which was the Birthday of the Church.
I’m starting to think this isnt an accident. I’m starting to think God knows what he’s doing and has planned ALL of this out. Starting in 4004 BC wasn’t an accident. It was because Christ would be crucified at 37 years old and when you combine the length of Christ’s life you get a perfect completion of creation. 7,037 years. Seven days, One LORD. Or as we know it on the calendar, 3,033 AD. New Heaven New Earth, 3×3. Perfection, Completion.
So as of right now, I do believe the Tribulation will start on May 21, 2026. As always I could be wrong, I am no prophet only a reader of the Word and a Listener of the Spirit. But when you look around it’s all escalating quickly.
Donald Trump is demanding Greenland, breaking apart the NATO alliance that has kept the world at peace since WW2. He’s taking out national leaders, stealing entire oil trades. He’s acting in a lawless way and acting in a fascist way with his Immigration agent thugs. If I’m right, all this will continue to escalate until May, when it is Satan’s turn for a ministry. Through the Anti-Christ he will have 42 months to reck havoc on Earth. I view the first half of the Tribulation as the Anti to Christs ministry. Christ ministered for 3.5 years and he gives Satan the same opportunity in the Tribulation through the Anti-Christ. Who better to possess than the most powerful man in the world? It doesnt matter if he’s old when he only needs 3.5 years to bring about the Great Tribulation and all the plagues within it.
That is why the Feast of Weeks is significant on May 21, 2026. In the Book of Daniel 9 we see the Tribulation is called “The Seventieth Week”. What if that Seventieth Week starts on the Feast of Weeks? That would make sense.
Also, on September 23rd 2025 there was a lot of buzz the rapture might take place, it didnt. But What did happen was Donald Trump spoke to the World at the UN, he started the the peace process with the Arab Muslim world and Israel that was spoken of by the Prophet Daniel. I believe the time between September 23, 2025 and May 21, 2026 is the preparation for the Anti-Christ’s 42 month reign. The Feast of Trumpets on Sept 23rd being the announcement of Satan’s soon coming. That is exactly what Donald Trump appears to be doing, preparing for a war. Taking oil, land toppling governments. Maybe May 21, 2026 is the day he receives his mortal wound to the head, maybe that’s the day when “he is out of the way” and Satan begins his ministry through him resurrecting him back to life miraculously.
I do believe the rapture occurs before or during the first part of the Tribulation. This is because I do believe we are going to the Wedding Supper of the LORD during the Great Tribulation, that much I am sure. No guessing on dates please. May 21st is just a pole in the ground for the start of the Tribulation, a marker of possibility to watch out for. If something major does happen on that day than you know the path I was on was right. Act accordingly.
If Trump is the Son of Perdition, I believe his false prophet will be Elon Musk who helps him build the Mark which will be an digital ID and currency system attached to the human body. The bible says it will be on the right hand or forehead. The reason I think the rapture happens before is because I think nothing else could cause such a scenario to replace the entire currency and necessitate the demand for a full proof worldwide id system. I could see Trump saying it now “we have to figure out who is still here.”
We’ll see what happens for now I just keep seeing the news and seeing him walk down this path to Hell. I think there will be more contractions and major events before May. I feel it will be a gradual escalation until God does what He will do. Maranatha!
