Searching for Israel (Part Seven): Seven Years' Punishment
Article by Charles WhitakerGod established a specific time to terminate Israel's punishment, as outlined in Leviticus 26, where He uses the phrase "seven times more" to indicate the duration of punishment for Israel's disobedience. In this context, "seven times" refers to a period of seven prophetic years, with each prophetic year consisting of 360 days. Applying the day-for-a-year principle, each day represents one year, making the total duration of punishment 2,520 years (7 x 360 = 2,520). This period began with the fall of Israel in 718 BC and ended in AD 1802, marking the completion of God's withholding of His conditional promises to Israel. This calculation provides a precise criterion for identifying modern-day Israel.
