PREPARE FOR 2030
THREE WITNESSES
By Two or Three Witnesses
“In the mouths of 2 or 3 witnesses
Shall a thing be established.”
(Deuteronomy 17:6 … and … 2 Corinthians 13:1)
Predicted Events for Review:
-
Year 2030: The Apocalypse Starts
-
2026 – 2028: Rapture Window
Three Prophetic Witnesses, including Jesus Christ’s prophetic Olivet Discourse concerning the Apocalypse, Isaac Newton’s prophetic “End Times” estimate, and the Apostle John’s remarkable mathematical prophecy found in the Book of Revelation, will be presented … all three of which converge on an identical pair of “Start-Finish” dates for the coming Apocalypse: 2030 and 2037.
Then, a prophetic (and historic) “type” or “model” of the coming Rapture will be presented which would place this powerful and mysterious prophetic event sometime within years 2026 – 2029.
No date is being set …
No certainty is being claimed.
What is being presented is the convergence of three independent Bible Prophecy studies … and all are worthy of consideration.
From the 19th Century British theologian, Sherlock Holmes …
“Each fact is suggestive in itself.
Together they have a cumulative force.”
“Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans”
Daniel was told that his prophetic words would be “Sealed until the Time of the End,” at which point “Knowledge (and travel) would increase” and “The wise will understand” (Daniel 12:4,10).
Jesus Himself commanded us to “Watch!” (for the prophetic warning signs we are now seeing), and then, “When you see these things, know that it is near – – AT THE DOOR!” (Mark 13:29).
Please note: Due to ancient Calendar variations, the possibility of Jesus’s birth being in 2 B.C., and the Hebrew alphabet/numbering system not including a “0,” that the year 2030 could include a “± 1-year” or so factor, with the years 2029 and 2031 also falling under possible consideration.
WITNESS ONE: Jesus Christ – The Fig Tree Generation
Jesus’s Prophecy
In Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, Jesus gave his disciples a series of signs to watch for preceding his return. He then offered a specific temporal framework using the image of a fig tree — long recognized in biblical prophecy as a symbol of the nation of Israel.
“Now learn this parable from the fig tree:
When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves,
you know that summer is near. Assuredly, I say to you,
this generation will by no means pass away until all these things take place.”
— Mark 13:28-30
“All these things” includes the Tribulation, Armageddon, and the return of Christ.
The question becomes: how long is a prophetic generation, and when does the clock start?
The Length of a Generation
“The days of our lives are seventy years;
and if by reason of strength they are eighty years.”
— Psalm 90:10
Scripture itself defines a generation as 70 years, or up to 80 years under exceptional circumstances. The prophetic starting point most consistent with Daniel 9:24 — which specifies Jerusalem as the focal point of the final seven years — is 1967, when Jerusalem was reunited with Israel as its capital for the first time since 586 BC.
The Daniel 9 Clue: “Thy People and Thy Holy City”
In Daniel 9:24, the angel Gabriel tells Daniel:
“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city…”
- Why this favors 1967 over 1948: In 1948, Israel became a sovereign nation, fulfilling many prophecies about the “regathering of the dry bones.” However, the Old City of Jerusalem—including the Temple Mount, which is explicitly the “Holy City” of Daniel’s prophecy—remained under Jordanian control.
- The Reconnection: It wasn’t until June 1967, during the Six-Day War, that Jerusalem was reunited under Jewish sovereignty. If Gabriel’s clock specifically requires both the people and the Holy City to be in alignment, the 1967 date fits the literal constraints of Daniel 9 far better than 1948.
The Calculation:
1967 (Jerusalem reunited) + 70 years (one generation) = 2037
2037 − 7 years (Daniel’s 70th Week of Years) = 2030
This places the beginning of Daniel’s final seven-year period sometime around year 2030 …
And its completion around year 2037.
WITNESS TWO: Isaac Newton – His Year 2030 (not 2060)
Isaac Newton (1643–1727) — Isaac Newton is often considered the greatest scientist and mathematician of all time. Besides his work on universal gravitation, his quantifying the Three Laws of Motion (which form the basic principles of all modern Physics), his development of Calculus and inventing the modern reflecting telescope, Isaac Newton also intently studied Bible prophecy, and Newton wrote more about Bible prophecy than he did on Math and Physics.
His prophetic manuscripts, kept in private collections for centuries, were first made public in 2003, when a BBC documentary “Newton: The Dark Heretic” revealed their contents to a stunned World:
In his manuscript Yahuda MS 7.3, Newton wrote the year “2060” twice. His calculation was based on Daniel’s prophetic time periods, the 1,260-day period of Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 11:3.
(Note: The circle around “2060” was added as a highlight.)
Newton’s Own Words on the 360-Day Prophetic Calendar
“Then the time, times and half a time are 42 months
or 1260 days or three years and a half,
reckoning twelve months to a year and 30 days to a month
as was done in the Calendar of the primitive year.”
— Isaac Newton, Yahuda MS 7.3
In his notes and studies, Newton acknowledged the biblical 360-day prophetic calendar was used explicitly in the books of Genesis (Noah’s Flood), Daniel, and Revelation … this is the critical insight that has been overlooked for over 300 years.
To convert his prophetic year 2060 into our 365.25-Day modern year:
2060 x 360 days = 741,600 days in Newton’s forecast
741,600 days ÷ 365.25 (our modern year days) = 2030.39
So, Newton’s “shocking” 2060 forecast could read …
2030 AD!!!
WITNESS THREE: The Apostle John – Population Prophecy
An Overlooked Mathematical Prophecy
The Book of Revelation contains what may be the most mathematically precise — and most overlooked — prophetic detail in all of Scripture.
In two separate passages, God specifies the exact “fractional” proportions of humanity that will perish during the coming Tribulation period.
“Power was given to them over a fourth of the Earth,
to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the Earth.”
— Revelation 6:7-8
Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.
And the four angels were released to kill a third of mankind.”
— Revelation 9:13-15
First: One-fourth of all humanity will perish.
Then: One-third of those who remain will perish.
The sequence is precise and sequential — and it creates a specific mathematical requirement for the World’s Population at the time of the coming “Apocalypse”.
The Mathematical Window
The Population Arithmetic:
The World population reached exactly 8 billion on November 15, 2022 (UN Population Division).
Step 1: 8 billion ÷ 4 = 2 billion perish → 6 billion remain
Step 2: 6 billion ÷ 3 = 2 billion perish → 4 billion remain
At 8 billion, both fractions produce clean, whole-number results.
This is the mathematically precise population the prophecy appears to describe.
The UN projects world population will reach 9 billion in 2037 …
AFTER which this clean mathematical sequence no longer works.
The Window Opens and Closes
This creates a specific and verifiable prophetic window. The 1/4 then 1/3 sequence of Revelation 6 and 9 produces clean integer results only when the starting population is divisible by 4 and the remainder is divisible by 3.
8 billion satisfies both conditions perfectly … 9 billion does not.
The UN Population Division projects that 9 billion will be reached in 2037 — the precise year our generational calculation (1967 + 70) also identifies as the end of Daniel’s final seven years.
This means:
If the Tribulation begins in 2030 and ends in 2037:
- The population mathematics of Revelation 6 and 9 work perfectly throughout the entire seven-year period
- The window closes precisely at 2037 when 9 billion is reached — the same year both other calculations identify as the endpoint
- The tribulation’s own casualties (4 billion) would themselves prevent the population from ever reaching 9 billion — making the model self-sealing
This calculation is independently verifiable by anyone with access to a calculator and the UN’s public population projections.

2030 begin 2037 end |
Deuteronomy 19:15 establishes the biblical standard: “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”
These three witnesses are mathematically independent — they use different source texts, different starting points, and different methodologies — yet they all arrive at identical conclusions.
Supporting Convergences
The United Nations 2030 Agenda
Completely independent of our three witnesses, the United Nations chose 2030 as its global governance target through the Sustainable Development Goals (sdgs.un.org/2030agenda). Seventeen goals, designed for universal compliance under centralized global coordination, are structured around a 2030 deadline. The UN arrived at this date through purely secular planning — yet it coincides precisely with all three prophetic calculations above.
The Bible warns a World Leader (the coming “Antichrist”) will be “given authority over every tribe, tongue, and nation” (Revelation 13:7).
The UN 2030 Agenda represents the most advanced pre-built framework for exactly that kind of global governance ever devised in human history.
2026 – 2028: The Rapture Window
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,
then know that desolation has come near.
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
and let those who are inside the city depart,
and let not those who are out in the country enter it,
for these are days of vengeance,
to fulfill all that is written.”
Luke 21:20-22 (ESV)
According to early church history, the Christians left Jerusalem roughly two to four years before the final destruction of the City and the Temple by the Roman Army.
Most historians point to 66 AD or 67 AD as the time they evacuated the city, though a few may have slipped out during a brief window as late as 69 AD.
This event is known in church history as the Flight to Pella. The timing of their escape highlights how they used Jesus’ prophetic warnings to avoid the disaster.
The Trigger: The First Roman Army Arrives (66 AD)
In Luke 21:20-21, Jesus gave very specific SIGNS to “watch” for:
“When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,
then know that its desolation has come near.
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”
- The Setup: In 66 AD, the Jews rebelled against Rome. A Roman general named Cestius Gallus marched his army straight to Jerusalem and surrounded the city.
- The Sudden Retreat: For reasons that still puzzle historians today, Gallus suddenly pulled his troops back and retreated.
- The Escape Window: To the Jewish rebels, this looked like a victory, and they chased after the retreating Romans. But to the Christians, this was the exact sign Jesus had promised. While the city was temporarily unguarded and celebrating, the Christian community fled and escaped.
Because they “watched” for the prophetic signs, they left early, they completely missed the horrific, multi-year siege led by Titus that ended with the Temple burning in 70 AD.
Early church historians like Eusebius note that because the Christian community heeded the prophetic warning signs not a single Christian perished in the siege of Jerusalem.
Yet, Jesus ALSO warned what would happen to ALL who ignored or rejected His prophecies …
Jesus issued a new prophecy and warned Israel WHY it would happen …
“Now as He (Jesus) drew near,
He saw the city (Jerusalem)
and wept over it, saying,
‘If you had known,
even you (the children of Israel),
especially in this your day,
(the day Messiah was revealed)
the things that make for your peace!
But now they are hidden from your eyes.
For days will come upon you
when your enemies will build
an embankment around you,
surround you and close you in
on every side, and level you,
and your children within you,
to the ground; and they will
not leave in you (the Temple)
one stone upon another,
BECAUSE you did not know
the time of your visitation.’”
(Luke 19:41-44)
God held them accountable for not knowing these prophecies!
Thus, within that generation, in 70 A.D., 38 years AFTER Jesus spoke this prophecy and was Crucified (“cut-off”), Jerusalem was besieged and brutally destroyed when Titus Vespasian, with the Fifth, Tenth, Twelfth, and Fifteenth Roman Legions did build a Roman siege wall (“embankment”) around the city, starving and slaughtering over a million Jews, and then tore down the Temple, stone by stone, to retrieve the gold that had melted when Roman soldiers (against orders) set the Temple on fire, thus leaving not one stone upon the other … exactly as Jesus Christ prophesied!
The Coming Rapture …
Many Bible Prophecy teachers have noted this Christian “escape” before 70 AD serves as a model for the “Rapture,” with the Roman siege as a historical “preview” of the Tribulation …
“For I (GOD) will gather ALL the nations to battle against JERUSALEM” (Zechariah 14:2)
Just like those who escaped 3-4 years before Jerusalem was trapped, sealed, and destroyed, many believe the Church will be removed via the Rapture before the 7-year Tribulation begins.
And, IF our 2030 timeline is correct, and if it does represent the start of the final 7 years, this would place the coming Rapture somewhere in the 2026 – 2028 timeframe.
Prophetic Warning Signs WE Are To “Watch!” For …
– Israel back in her Land … (The clock started in 1948!!!)
– Jerusalem reunited with Israel as her Capital (fulfilled in 1967)
– Russia, Turkey, Iran Alliance (Now called the “Astana Trio” … A prophetic War of the Ages)
– Trouble in Gaza!! (Gaza is linked to the ‘Apocalypse’)
– A Generation marked by “Violence and Immorality”
– A Generation marked by “Lying and Deceiving”
– A Generation marked by “Lawlessness”
– Wars and Rumors of Wars
– Ethnic Tension and Brutal Ethnic Wars … increasing!
– Deadly Diseases Spreading
– Strong Earthquakes Around the World
– Global Weather Extremes (Heat, Cold, Historic Storms)
– Knowledge and Travel Increasing (unlike any other time)
– Churches No Longer Teaching Sound Doctrine
– Hatred and Violence Against Bible-Believing Christians
– China Rising in Power (will Destroy 1/3 of all Mankind)
– Push for a One-World Economy & Government
– Syria in the News (utter destruction lies ahead)
– Revived Roman Empire (Out of NATO?) and Roman Religion Rising
– All Nations Turning and Uniting (UN?) Against Israel
– A “Peace Plan” drafted for Israel (The 7-Year Tribulation begins on the exact day it is signed!)
“When you SEE these things,
Know that it is NEAR – –
AT THE DOOR!!”
(Mark 13:29)
Yet, the Bible warns people around the World will just yawn, scoff at, and ignore these prophetic warnings of the coming global catastrophe sometimes called the “Apocalypse.”
Conclusion: A Floor, Not a Ceiling
These three witnesses do not set a date. They establish what Newton himself called a floor — a point around which the prophesied “Apocalypse” might be reasonably expected to start …
IF the prophetic warning signs the Bible predicts are evident and being “seen,” at which point “the wise” will begin to understand, and the skeptical should take note and pay close attention.
The Revelation Population Prophecy is particularly striking because it is the most verifiable and the most original of the three calculations.
Every other prophetic calculation can be accused of working backward from a desired conclusion. The population calculation works forward from an observable, publicly documented fact — the World Population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022 — and asks a simple question the text itself demands: “How long does this mathematically precise window remain open?”
The answer is — 2037 — provided not by a Bible prophecy teacher or student, but by the UN’s own demographic projections, independently available to anyone.
Jesus commanded His followers to “Watch!”
He rebuked those who could read the weather but could not “discern the signs of the times” (Matthew 16:3).
Daniel was told that the wise will understand the sealed prophecies at “The Time of the End.”
This document is not written to alarm or to set dates, but to present evidence that anybody concerned for their future should find worthy of careful, prayerful consideration …
“Many shall be purified, made white, and refined,
but the wicked shall do wickedly;
And none of the wicked shall understand,
But the wise shall understand.”
(And will escape)
(Daniel 12:10)
And what I say to you, I say to all:
Watch!”
(Mark 13:37)
HOW TO PREPARE
FIRST: “BELIEVE!!!”
“For God so loved the World
That He GAVE His only begotten Son, (as a gift)
That whoever BELIEVES in Him
Should NOT perish (in Hell)
but have everlasting life (in Heaven).
For God did not send His Son
into the world to condemn the World,
but that the World through Him
might be saved (into Heaven).”
(John 3:16-18)
Believe What??!!
- That Jesus IS the “Son of God”
- That He suffered and died on the Cross to pay for all of YOUR (and OUR) sins
- That He powerfully (and prophetically) rose from the dead on the third day
- That He is the only One who can save us into Heaven (and from the Tribulation)
- That He is now on His Throne saving all who will believe …
“Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
And you WILL be saved!”
(Acts 16:31)
THEN: “WATCH!” AND “PRAY!”
“WATCH therefore,
(for the signs He warned we would see)
AND PRAY ALWAYS
That you may be counted worthy to ESCAPE
ALL these things
that WILL come to pass.”
(By believing and trusting in Jesus Christ’s worthiness … not ours)
(Luke 21:36)
