This work is independent of any existing religions denomination, church, organisation or group.
A voice from a wilderness, correcting wrong Bible understandings, removing false religious traditions, smoothing the way.
Declaring the date for Jesus second presence. God's Kingdom plan is logical, pragmatic and perfect.
These announcements are specifically directed to members of the world's Christian religions.
THREE DAYS
1.
Understanding the significance of Jesus' words in these statements reveals intriguing events taking place over a three day period.
1. John 2:18-19 ... "the Jews said : “What sign have you to show us, since you are doing these things?” In answer Jesus said to them: “Break down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (NWT).
2.
2. Luke 13:32, Jesus said "Look! I am casting out demons and accomplishing healing today and tomorrow, and on the third day I shall be finished.’ (NWT).
Examining, Jesus' statement at John 2:18-19 “Break down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” (NWT). Jesus' reference to 'three days' here is usually taken as parts of three literal days - the time from his death to his resurrection. But this was not the whole story or even the major understanding of it. Early in Jesus ministry, some six months after his baptism by John, Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover (April 30AD). After forcefully turning out the racketeer traders from the temple area for having turned God's model house into a market, he was confronted on his authority to do so.
"Since you are doing this (expelling the traders from the temple) what sign (of authority) can you show us" John 2:13-18 (NWT).
Jesus replied:- "Cast down this temple and in three days I will raise it up" John 2:19 (NWT).
At this time, Jesus was obviously directing his words to the casting down of the Temple he was standing in at the time.
3.
John then informs us that Jesus was referring to the temple of his 'body',
"he was talking about the temple of his body" John 2: 21 (NWT).
This "body" is far more than the physical body of Jesus, as scripture reveals,
"Now you are Christ’s body, and members individually" ..1Cor 12:27 (NWT).
It is a composite body made up of 'born again' children of God
"as many as did accept him, to them he gave authority to become children of God, because they were exercising faith in his name; and they were born, not from blood or from the will of the flesh or from man’s will, but from God's will" John 1:12-13 (NWT).
If as Jesus said, cast down this Temple in Jerusalem and "In three days I will raise it up" refers to a composite "spiritual temple" being raised up or constructed by the third day. What constitutes this temple and when is this third day?.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
COMPOSITE BODY
4.
This "composite body" is a holy temple constructed with humans
"You have been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone. In union with him the whole building, being harmoniously joined together is growing into a holy temple for Jehovah (Yhwh) .. In union with him you too, are being built up together into a place for God to inhabit by spirit" Eph 2:20-22 (NWT).
5.
Some 33 years after Jesus said he would "raise up a temple in three days", in the year 63, Peter speaks of human stones being used in this temple construction. He says -
" (Jesus) a living stone, chosen precious with God, you also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house (temple) for the purpose of a holy priesthood" 1Pet 2:4-5 (NWT).
This building constructed with living stones was obviously taking a lot longer than 3 literal days to raise up.
6.
If we apply the bible use of a "God defined day" referred to at, 2 Peter 3:8 ,"one day is with Jehovah (Yhwh) as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day" (NWT), to Jesus' reference to this spiritual temple being raised on the third day. Then, the physical temple representation at Jerusalem would be replaced by a new temple constructed with living stones on the third 1,000 year day after the corner stone was laid in 33 AD.
Day one 33 to 1033
Day two 1033 to 2033
Day three 2033 to 3033

..
APPLYING 1,000 YEAR DAYS TO THIS TEMPLE
7.
The Jerusalem temple pattern became obsolete when the Jewish covenant ended and was replaced with a new Kingdom covenant in 33AD.
“However, you are the ones who have stuck with me in my trials; and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones" Luke 22:28-30 (NWT).
Adding two "1,000 year days" to 33 it brings us to 2033 when, after 2,000 years, the building of this spiritual temple should be completed, having collected in all the required living stones. On the third 1,000 year day, it would be fully completed and in operation.
8.
An indication that the recruiting of these living stones would take place in two separate collection periods can be found in the words that were spoken to these "living stones" selected during the first century; following their resurrection.
"A white robe was given to each of them; and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the number was filled also of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were about to be killed as they also had been" Rev 6:11 (NWT).
“Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand," Rev 7:3-4 (NWT).
9.
This reveals a first group recruited between the years 33 and 70AD during the first 1,000 year day period, who would be resurrected they are harvested to heaven and receive white robes ibetween April 2026 to April 2029. They must wait until a second group are sealed in, to complete the required 144,000 number. This second group are sealed in by their dedication baptism between April and October 2029 toward the end of the second 1,000 year day 1033 - 2033, after 42 months witnessing they are killed, dead for three and a half days before being harvested in March 2033, Ref. "early and the late rain".
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
THE THIRD DAY
10.
By the third 1,000 year day between 2033 and 3033, the temples purpose had been completed (raised up), all living stones raised up and in place, its priesthood fully operational with 144,000 priests. What is the purpose of this specially constructed temple? Scriptural references inform us that these 144,000 all are required to offer their lives sacrificially. After resurrection, they each convert their sacrificed lives into purchasing power, as Jesus sacrificed life was. This power provides the way for all mankind to be brought back to life (resurrected). These sacrificial benefits, power the operation of a resurrection mechanism, providing the possibility for all mankind's 20 billion dead to obtain an opportunity to gain everlasting real life.
11.
"Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for one thousand years" Rev 20:6 (NWT).
These ruling King/Priests will officiate their priestly duties on behalf of mankind by applying the benefits of their life surrendering sacrifices within this newly completed spiritual temple. For one thousand years of Kingdom rulership of the earth they will be engaged in restoring Yhwh's earth project.
12.
Scriptural evidence reveals this "True Temple" of God is an organisational structure built in the heavens through various stages, constructed with 144,001 living stones. All sacrifice their human lives, then using the credited value from these sacrifices on behalf of mankind while officiating as priests at the symbolic Holy of Holies in this spiritual temple. Jesus the High priest, along with 144,000 under-priests apply the benefits of their conglomerate life sacrifices toward mankind. All the billions of dead generations of humans will receive a second opportunity to life by means of this resurrection mechanism providing the possibility of a non ageing continual life.

STAGES IN RAISING THIS TEMPLE
13.
1. First corner stone.
Jesus is raised back to life after entering death. The value of his executed life provided a sacrificial ransom payment, which he presented to God in the real Holy of Holies, God's throne in heaven, in the spring of 33. Authorised purchasing power from God is secured by Jesus to buy 144,000 selected humans a rebirth, upgrading them to the standard of "Sons of God". After death raised back to life by a resurrection at a future appointed time. The first living stone, set as a foundation key corner stone when starting to build this new spiritual temple in 33AD ,
"the stone that the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone” 1 Peter 2:4 (NWT).
2. First group of building stones collected.
From Pentecost 33AD and for a period of one 'generation', the first group of the 144,000 living stones were selected by God. These born-again Sons are cleansed of Adamic and personal sin, repurchased as 'Sons of God' by the application of the value of Jesus ransomed sacrifice applied to each one, they now have true value to their sin cleansed lives. Those who remain faithful to a required sacrificial death in God's service, present their blood on the same alter as Jesus,
"And they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death" Rev 12:11 (NWT).
This first contingency, numbering tens of thousands of temple stones, were purchased by Jesus sacrifice during the generation period between 33 to 70AD, within the first '1,000 year day' period (33 -1033). They still remain dead today (2025).
3. Second group of building stones collected.
The number required to complete the 144,000 living stones are later recruited prior to the second presence. Jesus attends to this final recruitment before his second presence period of associated activity starts. The second John the Baptist scroll is delivered to members of the world's Christian religions from April 2026, making known the opportunity to be one of the final selected group completing the 144,000 and notifying the unexpected start date of Jesus second presence. The recruited second group also need to sign the Kingdom contract, remain loyal in God's service, offering the sacrificial death of their blood and bodies. These last ones are sealed by baptism toward the end of the second '1,000 year day' (1033 to 2033) between April and October 2029, ref. Second John the Baptist.14.
Considering this bible evidence, Jesus' scripted words take on greater significance when he said “Break down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The first two 1,000 year days used to build the temple with selected living stones, so that it is completed and fully functional in the third 1,000 year day from 2033 to 3033.

"ON THE THIRD DAY I SHALL COMPLETE THE PROCESS PERFECTLY"
THE THIRD DAY
15.
Jesus' statement on three days at Luke 13:32,
"I am casting out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will be finished." (NWT)
This harmonises with his three days reference at John 2:19 “
“Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it " (NWT)
It was in the winter of 33, some four months before his death, that Jesus prophesied about,
"casting out demons accomplishing healing today and tomorrow, and finishing it on the third day" (NWT).
These are obviously not literal 24 hour days.
"I am throwing out demons and healings I am finishing off today and tomorrow and on the third day I am perfecting (or will perfect)" Luke 13:32. (W&H, English SJD)
The word translated 'reach my goal', 'perfected', or 'finished' is translated from the Greek word Teleiovmai which has the following root meanings;
Teleios = having reached its end.
Teleioo = to bring to an end by completing perfectly.
Teleiosis = a perfect completion to a process.
Teleiotes = stressing the accomplishing with view to the result.
A more accurate reading of the words of Jesus at Luke 13:32,
"Today and tomorrow I will be driving away demons and healing people, but on the third (day) I will complete the process perfectly"
HARMONY OF SCRIPTURE.
16.
Just before he made this statement, Jesus had been talking about the situation of the faithful dead ones, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets; he explained that they would also be involved in future Kingdom activities. The context is the Kingdom connecting these prophets to his own death. We can eliminate its application to three literal days because Jesus himself says in verse 33 that, for the following three literal days, he will be on the move to avoid Herod killing him outside of Jerusalem when he said.
"Nevertheless, I must go on today, tomorrow, and the following day, because it cannot be that a prophet should be put to death outside of Jerusalem" Luke 13:33 (NWT).
17.
Jesus' words at Luke 13:32 On the third day I will be finished.(NWT) harmonises with John 2:19, 21 "Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up" (NWT).
When applying the same 1,000 year 'day' periods to Luke 13: 32, the whole thing becomes clear and makes sense.
18.
Jesus' reference to today and tomorrow, or two days is referring to two 1,000 year 'God days' covering 2,000 years, when he would be driving away the disruptions of demonic influence from his Kingdom construction work. This was one of Jesus' primary objectives,
"For this purpose the Son of God was revealed so that the works of the devil could be undone" 1 John 3:8 (NWT).
At the same time, healing selected persons of the effects of Adamic disease, giving them a rebirth in order to become part of the living stone construction in the spiritual temple
"I am casting out demons and healing people today and tomorrow and on the third day I will be finished", Luke13:32 (NWT).
19.
At Luke 13 verse 32, Jesus says "I will complete the process perfectly on the third day" (NWT). After two 1,000 year days or 2,000 years (33 to 2033), the third day or a third 1,000 year period would run from 2033 to 3033. During this period "on the third (day) I will be finished" (NWT). In this third day period the effects of all demonic influence, human disease and ageing will be neutralised for those referred to as a Great Crowd in Revelation 7:9-10 who survive Armageddon coming out of the great tribulation to become the nucleus of earthly Kingdom citizens,
"look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. And they keep shouting with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.” Rev 7:9-10 (NWT).
“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ... and the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them. They will hunger no more nor thirst any more, neither will the sun beat down on them nor any scorching heat, because the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them and will guide them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.” Rev 7:14-17 (NWT).
"And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of its main street. On both sides of the river were trees of life producing 12 crops of fruit, yielding their fruit each month. And the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations". Rev 22:1-2 (NWT).
20.
These survive Armageddon under the protection of Kingdom administrators because they support them during the last generation of the old world system. They require healing of their inherited Adamic and personal imperfections (sin) so that they do not die and can be brought up to God's standard and adopted as Children of God into his family. These will be physically, mentally and spiritually healed during this third day period in which Jesus will perfectly complete this work through the operational spiritual temple. A further Hebrew old testament prophetic reference to a three day period is made at Hosea 6:1,2:
"He will make us alive after two days, on the third day he will make us get up and we shall live before him" (NWT).
21.
Along with this Great Crowd during the third 1,000 year day 2033 to 3033, the "better" earlier earthly resurrection of justified ones will take place. Those who died loyal to God "in order that they might attain a better resurrection" Hebrews 11:35 (NWT), are made alive again. These ones are not part of the 144,000. Toward the beginning of the third 1,000 year day, these loyal ones will be resurrected and join the Great Crowd of Armageddon survivors, also becoming active earthly citizens of the Kingdom during its 1,000 year restoration rule over the earth. During this time with the help of the temple arrangement these citizens of the Kingdom will be raised to the standard for Sons of God and attain continual life as members of God's family.

22.
These three scriptural references John 2:19, Luke 13:32-33 and Hosea 6:1-2, with the key 1,000 year "day" period applied to them, all harmonise and compliment each other, interlocking with many other bible time prophecies. We are drawing close to the end of the second day, with all its implications. For further information, see Revealing the Sons of God.
