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 refer to the duration of punishment. This phrase, repeated in verses 18, 21, 24, and 28, indicates a period of seven prophetic times, each time being a 360-day prophetic year. Calculating seven times as 2,520 days (7 x 360), and applying the year-for-a-day principle, this duration translates to 2,520 years. The punishment began with the fall of Israel in 718 BC and concluded in AD 1802, marking the end of the 2,520-year period during which God withheld the fulfillment of His conditional promises to Israel. This specific timeframe serves as a vital search criterion for identifying modern-day Israel.
