As we have seen, from the Bible Numerology that God uses to symbolize and reveal certain truths, there are these numbers, such as, The "42 Months" / "1260 Days"/ "a Time, Times, and Half a Time" , and the "one thousand years", from Revelation 11, 12, 13, & 20.
These different numbers all represent and stand for the Era of Gospel Proclamation, from Jesus' First Advent and Ministry on Earth, until Jesus Second Advent, when He Returns to earth, for the second time, at The End of The World, and is the current period of time, we call The New Testament Age.
Each of those various expressions, use different numbers, however, they are all making reference to and describing the same period of time, from The New Testament times of The Bible, all the way up to our current day in which we are now living, in what is called The Church Age.
God has chosen to express Himself using these numbers, symbolically, to depict these Last Days, of The End Times, from Jesus' Ascension at His First Coming, until His Return to earth, again, at Jesus' Second Coming.
However, this same time period of The Last Days in The End Times, God uses numbers, like the, "42 Months", "1260 Days", "a Time, Times, and Half a Time", and "one thousand years", is also referred to, in The New Testament, by using several other expressions, in words.
The Lord refers to this entire New Testament Era, in which The Gospel has been Proclaimed, since the days of Jesus in His Public Ministry, as "A Time Accepted" or "The Accepted Time", as well as, this entire Church Age being called, "The Day of Salvation", in II Corinthians 6:2;
This is the "Year" of the Lord's Favor.
Today is the "Day" of Salvation.
"(For He saith, I have heard thee in A Time Accepted, and in The Day of Salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is The Accepted Time; behold, now is The Day of Salvation.)" II Corinthians 6:2.
Then, we see in Luke 4, where Jesus refers to The Era of Gospel Proclamation, as being, "The Acceptable Year of the Lord."
Luke 4:16-21;
16 "And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 "And there was delivered unto Him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written,
18"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath Anointed Me to Preach the Gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to Preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 "To Preach The Acceptable Year of the Lord.
20 "And He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him.
21 "And He began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."
Now, to clearly define exactly when is that Jesus was reading about, from Isaiah, let's look and see what else is there in that passage in Isaiah 61 that Jesus didn't read.
1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me; because the LORD hath Anointed Me to Preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 "To proclaim The Acceptable Year of the LORD, and The Day of Vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;"
Do you see it? That last portion of that verse that Jesus didn't continue reading?
As Jesus was reading that passage, in the book of Isaiah, He stopped reading after He read, "To proclaim The Acceptable Year of the LORD", in verse 61:2, but, then Isaiah had gone on to say, "and The Day of Vengeance of our God."
Jesus hadn't gone on reading that portion about, "The Day of Vengeance of our God,"
because Jesus' Ministry was to include His time on earth, to His Ascension, and then the remainder of The Gospel Age, until Jesus Comes Again, as The Acceptable Year of the LORD."
Then, what happens, next? At Jesus Return in Judgment, upon the lost world?
That is what will be, "The Day of Vengeance of our God."
So, contained within that verse, in Isaiah, between where it says, "The Acceptable Year of the LORD and The Day of Vengeance of our God," there is the little conjunctive word, "and". And? And, we can see that within that one little word, "and", there is represented the 2,000 plus years, which have taken place since the time Jesus read that passage in the Temple.
And, we see clearly what period of time Jesus was referring to, when He read that He has come, "To proclaim The Acceptable Year of the LORD", meaning, from that moment, until He Comes Again in Judgment, which will then be, "The Day of Vengeance of our God".
"The Acceptable Year of the LORD", that Jesus was here to proclaim, is Our Current Age of The Last Days in The End Times of the Lord's Favor and Proclamation of The Gospel, until Jesus Comes Again, and is the same period of time we read about, whenever The Bible refers to, "the 42 Months", "1260 Days", "a Time, Times, and Half a Time", "one thousand years", "The Accepted Time", and, "The Day of Salvation."
TODAY, IS THE DAY OF SALVATION, IN WHICH LOST SOULS MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCE FOR ANYONE, OR ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITY TO EVER BE SAVED, ONCE JESUS COMES AGAIN.
THAT WILL BE TOO LATE.
ACCORDING TO ISAIAH AND JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, THAT WILL THEN BE,
"The Day of Vengeance of our God."
THE DAY OF SALVATION WILL BE OVER, FOREVER.
