The Punishment Periods of
Judah and Israel
(Ezekiel 4:1-8)
And the “Seventieth Week”
of Daniel
(Daniel 9:27)
The Punishment Period of the
Southern Kingdom of Judah
The amount of time that Elohim will set His face
against Judah is 390 years + 40 years = 430
years.
This is described in Ezekiel 4:1-8:
Ezequiel 4:1
¶ Y tú, oh hijo de hombre, toma una tableta de arcilla,
ponla delante de ti y graba sobre ella una ciudad:
Jerusalén.
2 Luego pon asedio contra ella, construye contra ella
un muro de asedio y levanta contra ella un terraplén.
Pon contra ella campamentos y coloca arietes contra
ella en derredor.
3 Y tú, toma una plancha de hierro y ponla como
muro de hierro entre ti y la ciudad. Luego afirma tu
rostro contra ella, y quedará bajo asedio. Tú la
asediarás; es una señal para la casa de Israel.
Ezequiel 4:4
Y tú, acuéstate sobre tu costado izquierdo
y pon sobre él el pecado de la casa de
Israel. Durante el número de días que
estarás acostado así, cargarás con su
pecado.
5 Yo te he asignado un número de días
equivalente a los años del pecado de ellos:
Durante 390 días cargarás con el pecado
de la casa de Israel.
Ezequiel 4:6
Y cumplidos éstos, te acostarás nuevamente
sobre tu costado derecho, y cargarás con el
pecado de la casa de Judá durante 40 días: Te he
fijado un día por cada año.
7 Luego afirmarás tu rostro hacia el asedio de
Jerusalén, y con tu brazo descubierto profetizarás
contra ella.
8 He aquí, yo pongo cuerdas sobre ti, y no te
podrás dar vuelta de un lado al otro, hasta que
hayas cumplido los días de tu asedio.
In Leviticus 26, Elohim states that He is going
to punish Israel (Israel was not a divided
kingdom at this time) for their disobedience to
His Torah (instructions).
When He punishes them, if they still do not turn
back to Him and His Torah, He will multiply
their punishment times “seven.”
Levitico 26:14
¶ "Pero si no me escucháis y no ponéis por obra todos
estos mandamientos,
15 y si rechazáis mis estatutos y vuestra alma
menosprecia mis decretos, no poniendo por obra todos
mis mandamientos e invalidando mi pacto,
16 entonces yo también haré con vosotros esto:
Decretaré contra vosotros terror, tisis y fiebre que
consuman los ojos y dejen exhausta el alma.
Sembraréis en vano vuestra semilla, porque vuestros
enemigos se la comerán.
Levitico 26:17
"Yo pondré mi rostro contra vosotros, y
seréis derrotados ante vuestros enemigos.
Los que os aborrecen se enseñorearán de
vosotros, y huiréis sin que nadie os
persiga.
18 Si aun con estas cosas no me
obedecéis, volveré a castigaros siete veces
más por vuestros pecados.
Levitico 26:19
"Quebrantaré la soberbia de vuestro poderío y haré
que vuestro cielo sea como hierro y que vuestra
tierra sea como bronce.
20 Vuestra fuerza se agotará en vano; pues vuestra
tierra no dará su producto, ni el árbol de la tierra
dará su fruto.
21 Y si continuáis siéndome hostiles y no me queréis
obedecer, yo aumentaré la plaga sobre vosotros siete
veces más, según vuestros pecados.
Levitico 26:25
"Traeré sobre vosotros la espada
vengadora, en vindicación del pacto.
Y si os refugiáis en vuestras ciudades,
yo enviaré la peste entre vosotros, y
seréis entregados en mano del
enemigo.
26 Cuando yo os corte el sustento de
pan, diez mujeres cocerán vuestro
Levitico 26:27
Si a pesar de esto no me obedecéis,
sino que continuáis siéndome
hostiles,
28 procederé contra vosotros con ira
hostil y os castigaré siete veces más
por vuestros pecados.
Judah was punished for seventy years in
Babylon. Daniel knew this was the
timeframe they would be captive in
Babylon because Jeremiah had prophesied
it
Jeremias 29:10
Porque así ha dicho Jehovah: "Cuando según mi
dicho se cumplan setenta años para Babilonia, os
visitaré con mi favor y os cumpliré mi buena
promesa de haceros regresar a este lugar.
Elohim punished Judah just as He promised. He
gave them seventy years of captivity and
suffering in Babylon. Judah was then told to
return to Jerusalem several times. But only a
small fraction of the people obeyed. Since the
majority of the people still disobeyed Him, He
multiplied the remainder of their punishment by
“seven.” This gave them a punishment period
of:
430 years – 70 years = 360 years
360 years x 7 = 2520 (Biblical) years
Converting the punishment period of Judah
to solar years:
(2520 Biblical years) x (360 days/Biblical
Year)/365.2422days/Solar Year) = 2483.83
Solar Years.
Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon in 536
B.C. and offered to pay for millions of Jews
to return to Jerusalem.
Ne 2:1 ¶ Sucedió en el mes de Nisán, en el año 20 del rey
Artajerjes, que estando ya el vino delante de él, tomé el
vino y se lo di al rey. Y como yo no había estado antes
triste en su presencia,
Ne 2:7 Además dije al rey: --Si al rey le agrada, séanme
dadas cartas para los gobernadores de la región de Más
Allá del Río, para que me dejen pasar hasta que yo llegue
a Judá;
8 y otra carta para Asaf, guarda de los bosques del rey,
para que me dé madera para poner vigas a las puertas de la
ciudadela del templo, para la muralla de la ciudad y para
la casa donde yo estaré. El rey me lo concedió, pues la
bondadosa mano de Dios estaba conmigo.
The multiplied Punishment Period for the Southern
Kingdom of Judah began in the month of Nisan in
536 BC. That would be approximately 536.46 BC.
The punishment period for Judah is 2483.83 Solar
Years.
2483.83 - 536.46 BC = 1947.37
Add one year because there is no year “0”
The end of the punishment period of Judah was in
1948.37. This would have been precisely on May
14-15, 1948. This is the day that Israel was declared
a nation once again. Elohim no longer has His face
turned against Judah.
On May 14, the British Mandate expired. The
State of Israel declared itself as an independent
nation, and was quickly recognized by the
Soviet Union, the United States, and many other
countries.

The success of the Israeli army was truly
miraculous…
The Arabs had clear superiority in heavy arms and
firepower. The ordnance on May 15 were as follows:
•Tanks: 1 w/o cannon to the IDF vs 40 to the Arabs.
•Armored cars (w/ cannon): 2 to the IDF vs 200 to the
Arabs.
•Armored cars (w/o cannon): 120 to the IDF vs 300 to
the Arabs.
•Artillery: 5 to the IDF vs 140 to the Arabs.
•AA and AT guns: 24 to the IDF vs 220 to the Arabs.
•Warplanes: 0 to the IDF vs 74 to the Arabs.
•Scout planes: 28 to the IDF vs 57 to the Arabs.
•Navy (armed ships): 3 to the IDF vs 12 to the Arabs.

The Punishment Period of the
Northern Kingdom of Israel
The amount of time that Elohim will set His face
against Israel is 390 years.
This is given in Ezekiel 4:1-5, as previously
mentioned.
The Northern Kingdom never repented. Their
punishment was also multiplied by seven as
promised in Levitucus 26.
390 years x 7 = 2730 years (Biblical years)
2730 Biblical years (360/365.2422) =
2690.817 solar years
When did Elohim set His face
against the Northern Kingdom of
Israel?
Hoshea (732-724) and the end
Hoshea immediately surrendered the Northern
Kingdom to Shalmeneser V (some think this
was Shalmaneser IV), the new king of Assyria,
and paid tribute (2 Kings 17:1-3). This action
probably saved Samaria from destruction, at
least for a while, but only put the Northern
Kingdom more firmly in the grasp of the
Assyrians. (cont.)
There was no doubt still a faction within Israel
that wanted independence. While Hoshea had
acted to save what remained of the nation, he
eventually saw what he thought was an
opportunity to break free of Assyrian control. He
made an alliance with Egypt, thinking he could
rely on them for military assistance, and withheld
tribute from Assyria (2 Kings 17:4). But Egypt at
this time was weak and was worthless as a
military ally. Shalmeneser’s army attacked the
reduced Israelite Kingdom in 724, captured
most of the land, and took Hoshea prisoner.
Only Samaria remained. It was besieged for 3
years, and was finally taken in 721 (2 Kings
17:5-6). The city was destroyed, the northern
Kingdom transformed into a province of the
Assyrian Empire, a number of the people taken
as prisoners or exiles to Assyria, and other
people resettled in the captured territory (2
Kings 17:24-34).

Old Testament History
Assyrian Dominance (745 BC - 640 BC)

724 BC - 2690.817 solar years brings us to
1967, the time of the “Six Day War” when
Israel took back Jerusalem.
This was another miraculous victory for
Israel.
The Stunning Victory
After just six days of fighting, Israeli forces broke
through the enemy lines and were in a position to
march on Cairo, Damascus and Amman. A ceasefire was invoked on June 10.
By the end of the war, Israel had conquered enough
territory to more than triple the size of the area it
controlled, from 8,000 to 26,000 square miles. The
victory enabled Israel to unify Jerusalem. Israeli
forces had also captured the Sinai, Golan Heights,
Gaza Strip and West Bank.

What does the Punishment Period of Israel have
to do with the Seventieth Week of Daniel?
Daniel 9:27
Por una semana él confirmará un pacto con
muchos, y en la mitad de la semana hará
cesar el sacrificio y la ofrenda. Sobre alas
de abominaciones vendrá el desolador,
hasta que el aniquilamiento que está
decidido venga sobre el desolador."
Daniel 9:26
Después de las sesenta y dos semanas, el Mesías
será quitado y no tendrá nada; y el pueblo de un
gobernante que ha de venir destruirá la ciudad y el
santuario. Con cataclismo será su fin, y hasta el fin
de la guerra está decretada la desolación.
27 Por una semana él confirmará un pacto con
muchos, y en la mitad de la semana hará cesar el
sacrificio y la ofrenda. Sobre alas de
abominaciones vendrá el desolador, hasta que el
aniquilamiento que está decidido venga sobre el
desolador."
Levitico 26:28
procederé contra vosotros con ira hostil y
os castigaré siete veces más por vuestros
pecados
Daniel 9:27
Por una semana él confirmará un
pacto con muchos,

What happened in the “middle of the week?”
1967 CE – ½(2690.817) =
622 CE
This is the “middle of the week”
Islam was founded in 622 AD by
Mohammed the Prophet, in the "Hegira",
"Hijra", flight or migration from Mecca to
Medina, Arabia, and marks the beginning of
Islam and the Muslim calendar.
http://religion-cults.com/Islam/islam.htm
According to the Islamic calendar, the year “0”
is the year 622 AD. That is the year Muhammad
converted his first group of followers and started
the Islamic faith.
(Dan 9:27 NASB) "And he will make a
firm covenant with the many for one week,
but in the middle of the week he will put
a stop to sacrifice and grain offering (the
Abomation of Desolation); and on the
wing of abominations will come one who
makes desolate (Muhammad & the Islam
religion), even until a complete destruction,
one that is decreed, is poured out on the one
who makes desolate."
(Dan 9:27 NASB) "And he will make a firm
covenant with the many for one week, but in the
middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice
and grain offering; and on the wing of
abominations will come one who makes
desolate, even until a complete destruction,
one that is decreed, is poured out on the one
who makes desolate."
“Even until a complete destruction….” The
Muslim Empire will be in power until the very
end where they will meet their destruction at the
return of Messiah.
