Ezekiel measured the visionary temple in Ezekiel 40 unto 1948 when Israel became a nation again are 1260 plus 1260 years. Where does this 1260 plus 1260 years computation come from in the Bible.

573 BC Nisan 10,

What is the significance of that date from the Bible?

It appears you can only get to 1948 by masterful feats of mathematical and chronological sleight-of-hand.

It fulfilled such prophecies as Ezekiel 36 and 37 and heralded the soon end of the age. Bottom line, without spiritualizing there is no way Ezekiel matches modern Israel.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

And that does not apply to modern Israel either. It applies to the 1st century inhabitants of Jerusalem who witnessed its destruction at the hands of the Roman army.

There is absolutely no prophecy in the Bible that can be pinned to Israel circa 1948.

Sorry. The last post got a bit messed up. It should read:

No, it did not. Those passages in Ezekiel are plainly speaking of spiritual revival and renewal. No such activity of that sort is even remotely happening in modern Israel. Hey are still in darkness and unbelief and even persecute to some degree the true sons of God.

Bottom line, without spiritualizing there is no way Ezekiel matches modern Israel.
