On my 2nd to the last blog post, I told you all that according to Chofetz Chaim, and together with what the past sages of Israel had taught about the last seven year period of the Messiah, the Messiah would come in the year after the Shemittah which is 5783.
Now let us elaborate further. In Daniel 12:11-12, it is said, “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days."
What does the above truly means? It means that after the abomination that causes desolation is set up, one must count 1,290 year before the Messiah is born. The Dome of the Rock was finished in 691 AD. This means that the Messiah had already been born in 1981 = 691 + 1290. Why is one blessed when one reaches the end of 1,335 days? Because it means one has already reached the end of the starting year of the resurrection of the dead. According to the Zohar, the earliest that the resurrection of the dead could happen is 214 years before the year 6000. 6000 - 214 = 5786, or 2025 AD. Now going back to 691, add 1,335 to it and the total would be 2026, which is the end of the year 5786 in the Jewish calendar.
Is the year of coming of the Messiah also prophesized in Daniel? The answer is yes. Daniel 12:1-2, “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise... Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake..." Michael is from above. From below, he is the Messiah. The time of his rising is mentioned in Daniel 12:7, “It will be for a time, times and half a time." What it means is that he will rise three and a half years in advance before the resurrection of the dead. True enough, the year of his rising is 5783, and it matches what the past sages of Israel had taught.
Daniel 12:9-10, "He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand."
