The following study will be a Reply to a Question posed about what Month and specific Day constituted the changing of Biblical and Prophetic Dispensations. One is considering the Dispensation from being Under the Law to that of the Law of Christ. This is predicated on the Mission and Ministry of Jesus, GOD in the Flesh that came as the Substitutionary Lamb to Atone or cover for the Sins of Humanity. This was required to Restore a Right Relationship with YHVH, the Father and Creator. The following will be the Question posed in its entirety for Context. Emphasis added.
_____________________
I want to start the Debate with a quote on Page 90 of Lu's Book �Circumstantial Evidence why the Crucifixion was in 32 AD�.
�One Contends that the More Accurate Day of the Proclamation by Artaxerxes II �would have followed the tradition of Ancient Decree to occur in tandem with the Astronomical Time Markers, such as the Equinoxes and Solstices. Consider the following Suppositions. One postulates that the actual Decree occurred on the Spring Equinox, March 20, -445 BC.
With this Speculated Reference Point, the Day Count of the 173,880 Days would result then, in April 10, 32 AD. This would Amazingly Correspond to the exact Day Jesus rode on the Donkey through the Golden Gate of Jerusalem. This was the 'Day of the Visitation'�
Jesus Prophetically Fulfilled the Typology of needing to have the Passover Sacrificial Lamb be Endeared with the People in their Homes and then be examined by the High Priest for a Duration of 4 Days�.
Does this not 'inadvertently� confirm that Weeks of Years to have Begun and Ended in Nisan? Which Event in Israel's History, regarding Messiah the Prince, that occurred on Nisan 10, thereby put an End to the 69 Weeks of Years? It was the Events of the Triumphal Entry!
I am not sure if Dispensations �Begin� and �End� on Pentecost. It is rather on Passover. There is a Reason the 1st 69 Week of Years ended on Nisan 10, at Jesus�s Triumphal Entry. Couldn't the Beginning of Daniel's 70th Week begin in Nisan (Nisan 10?). Will the selection of the �Anti-Lamb' or �Anti-Christ' by Israel happen again in Nisan?
______________________
Delineating Dispensations As to the present Church Age? Salvation is not obtainable by being �Under the Law�. The Apostle Paul taught that the Law only brought Death and showed what was �Wrong� but could not �fix� it. It was a Tutorial that pointed to the Final Lamb that would �Fix� the Sin Problem, etc. This is the Only Way to be �Saved� or Redeemed. This Lamb is Jesus, etc. Now, as to the Argument that the Change in Dispensations occurred at a Nisan Timeframe?
The Question is based on how Jesus fulfilled the Prophecy of Daniel, to the Day. The Argument for a Nisan Month would thus be also commemorating when the Last Week of Daniel, that is the 70th Week would begin or could or should begin after the Rapture Event. One is presuming that one holds to a Dispensationalist Point of View and Interpretation of Human History since Adam. Regardless, one does sense that the End of the present Church Age, one is more convinced, is fast coming to the Conclusion of its Commission.1) Dispensation /dĭs″pən-sā′shən, -pĕn-/
Noun
-The Act of Dispensing.
-Something Dispensed.
-A Specific Arrangement or System by which something is Dispensed.
2) Dispensationalism
Dispensationalism is a Theological Framework of interpreting the Bible which maintains that History is divided into multiple Ages or �Dispensations� in which GOD acts with His Chosen People in different ways. It is often distinguished from Covenant Theology. Wikipedia
The main Argument is that it could be reasoned that the Religious New Year of Nisan 1 could be or should be what Delineates the Ages. It is a Good Insight to consider in contrast to what one has presented that it is during a Pentecost that the Prophetic Dispensations have occurred and will. And that this Assertion, on one�s Part is tied specifically to a Summer White Wheat Wedding Time-Frame, a July 23 �Leo New Year�. For Context, please refer to the following Article.#860: WHY THE ACTS 2 PENTECOST NEW WINE IS BASED ON JESUS� 120 DAY CLUE FROM THE SPRING EQUINOX COUNT

Logic in attempting to ascertain when did Daniel�s 69th Week �End� and when it should/could/would happen. One does not �Know� for sure, so what one will reply will be pure Conjecture. As it is, what one presents as a possible Timeline based on the Crucifixion Year is just one�s Logic, just as much. One will try to break-down your Rebuttal and then offer some Observations.
_______________________
1. THE WEEKS OF YEARS (69TH AND THE 70TH) �BEGIN� AND �END� IN NISAN? - One can see the Logic in saying that. It �Sounds� plausible and could be. But there are one�s Observations and Reservations.
-An Affirmative would be based on how YHVH had Ordained Nisan 1 to be the �True� Head of the Year.
-If the Prophecy of Daniel�s 70 Weeks of Years �Started� on a Nisan 1 Month? That is yet to be determined. One has to Reverse Engineer the Timeline, which one believes no one in Church History or since Daniel has done. It will be tricky because of the Calendar Conversion involved.
-For example, as one has discussed and shared, it was on July 23, -537 BC1, that the Return of Jewish Exiles under Zerubbabel got under way. It was just after the 70 Years from the start of the Exile began, just as Jeremiah had Predicted.
-Here is one�s Evidence that a July 23 is rather a �Start� and an �Ending� Time Marker. But that it is not based on the Conventional Rabbinical nor Calendar of YHVH even. It is based on the Astronomical Calendar delineated by the Signs of the Mazzaroth or Zodiac.
-This Supposition, one believes, is an Original Hypothesis that no one has ever considered. It is that, as presented, that a 723 or a July 23 is the Beginning of the Leo �New Year� and Start of a Time-Frame.
-Thus, one can Reverse Engineer the Day Count of 70 Years, using Biblical Years of 30 Day Months from July 23, -537 BC to see what was that Start Date.
-It gets �Complicated� because, like with the Decree to Rebuild the Walls of Jerusalem, which 1 of the 4 is the one being used to Count the Prophecy from? It is because there were 3 Waves of Successive �Exiles� that started by Nebuchadnezzar.
-It was the 3rd and last Campaign in which the 2nd Temple was Destroyed. And the Point is? That occurred, not at a Nisan but on the 9th of Av, in August, etc.
-See Chart of the 3 Successive Waves of Exiles carried-out by the Babylonians.Chart Pentecostal Restorations of Israel https://nebula.wsimg.com/e98b0ab752df75853715b45260d41088?AccessKeyId=D40106E1331C24ABD7C3&disposition=0&alloworigin=1
-In the Chart, one surmised how during Modern-Day Israel�s 70th Year Anniversary, it echoed now the Nascent Sanhedrin Re-Dedicated the Altar of Sacrifice on the Walls of Jerusalem. One wrote a whole Book about it, because one though it was so significant, Prophetically.
-Notice that the 3rd and Final Wave of the Exile of Judah occurred in -586 BC. And that corresponded to the Exiles returning to Israel in the last of the 3 Waves in -444 BC.
-This 3 Wave Exile and Return Pattern mirrored exactly what then occurred with the Roman Diaspora or Exile. The Last or 3rd Wave of Israel being Exiles occurred in 74 AD. Note how both Years have a Factor of 4.
-One would argue that Prophetically, something �Big� could be related to the Exile of Israel occurring in 202-4 then. But as to the Day Count of the Babylonian Captivity? If one subtracts the 70 Biblical Years from July 23, -537 BC, then the following.
70 Years x [(30 Day Months) = 360 Days/Year] = 25,200 Days (A Fractal of 2520) Number Days the 7-Year Tribulation will have, 1260 + 1260 Days, etc. July 23, -537 BC (-) 25,200 Days = July 26, 606 BC = 3 Days after the July 23 Start of an Astronomical Sign New Year. = 3,600 Weeks 0 Days
= 25,200 Days
-So, this Calculus would surmise that the Start of the Exile was on its Anniversary, being not on a Jewish Religious New Year of Nisan, nor on the Rabbinical Civil New Year of Tishrei. But rather, it was pegged to what one calls the �Leo New Year�.
-Now, will the Dispensations occur also on a July 23 Date? Perhaps.

-This is technically Correct. But one cannot say, with 100% certainty, that it will be also when the start of the 70th Week of Years is to commence.
-It is or could be Logical but realize that in one�s Timeline Model of the Tribulation Period, being Fall 2025 to Fall 2032 has the Start of the Dispensation just after the Fall Feasts of YHVH are completed.
-As one has presented, this Timeline could begin on that �Sabbath of Beginning� of October 18, 2025. This is predicated on being a Prophetic Bookend to then the �Sabbath of Return�, exactly 2520 Days later on September 11, 2032.
3. I AM NOT SURE IF DISPENSATIONS BEGIN AND END ON PENTECOST.
-As presented, the �New Understanding� of what one has deemed the �Leo New Year�, is precisely what had delineated the Dispensation from the Law to now Grace.
-The July 23 (723) Date in 32 AD, presumably the Crucifixion Year that one espouses, was when the Dispensation occurred then.
-Thus, one is conjecturing that the Church Age Dispensation will conclude as it began, on its Anniversary.
-But realize that Calculus or Timeline is an 8 Year Difference to reach the exact �2000� Year Anniversary. This would be if one presumes a 7-Day and 7-Week Creation Template is what it is based on.
-This would account for the 7 Years of the Tribulation Period and then the 1 Year that one surmises will be the �Gap� Time from the Rapture Day to the actual Start of the 1st Day of the Sacrifices commencing.
4. RATHER, THE CHANGE IN DISPENSATIONS OCCURS THEN ON A PASSOVER.
-This is again, plausible and possible. One cannot dispel its Logic. It is a similar Hypothesis that can only be Tested with Time and will have to be �After the Fact� to ascertain if it was Valid and True.
-But consider that in terms of the Changes of Dispensations, Biblically, it has been also on the occasions of Pentecost that the Bible does infer and allude to that occurring.
-This primarily happened after the Exodus, when Israel was at the Foot of Mount Sinai. It was at a Pentecost Time-Frame that the Law was Initiated. One is arguing thought for the 99th Day that was the Golden Calf Incident, not the 1st 50 Day Count called Shavuot by the Jews.
-Thus, it follows that on its Anniversary, the Acts 2 Pentecost New Wine commemorated the Change of Dispensations from being Under the Law to the Law of Christ, or that of Grace.
-The Point is though, that the July 23 would Mark the End and Beginning of the present Church Age Dispensation of Grace, it would not be until the following Fall that the Daily Sacrifices would be imitated.
-This is because the Gap of Time would be required for Israel to Rebuild the 3rd Temple, consecrate it with the Ashes of the Red Heifer and then have the False Jewish Messiah then Commemorate the Covenant with the Sanhedrin.
-This Scenario is then how one has described the AntiChrist �Solomon 2.0� mimicking the Protocols of King Solomon in Dedication the 1st Temple. This happened after the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot.
-This Supposition pertains to the 8th Day of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. But primarily that Sabbath, which is called the �Sabbath of Beginning�.
-In one�s Estimation, what better Day, than on the Sabbath of Beginning to start the Tribulation Period and 2520 Day Count of Daniel�s 70th Week of Years.
5. THERE IS A REASON THE FIRST 69 WEEK OF YEARS ENDED ON NISAN 10, AT JESUS�S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY.
-This Assertion would be True if the Exiles of both the Babylonian and Roman Diasporas occurred, 1st of the Month of Nisan. They did not.
-The Point is that, although the Triumphal Entry of Jesus as King took place just before Nisan 14, by 4 Days, it was not pertinent to the change in the Dispensation, there and then.
-If so, then the Church Age would have to have started on Nisan 1, the Religious New Year. As one has presented, one is now more convinced that the Dispensation Change occurred on the Astronomical New Year that was pegged to the Sign of Leo, the LORD of the Summer Wheat Harvest, etc.
6. COULDN'T THE BEGINNING OF DANIEL'S 70TH WEEK BEGIN IN NISAN (NISAN 10?).
-Yes, it can. But based on Biblical Typology and Pattern, it has not. Why not? The Change of Dispensations or Covenants have occurred during a Pentecost Time-Frame. Evidence?
-One has already given 2 Biblical Facts of how the Mosaic Covenant was initiated during Pentecost at Mount Sinai.
-One has also argued that the Age of Grace, now presently being �Under the Law of Christ� was likewise Initiated during that Acts 2 Pentecost New Wine Event.
-One has argued that both these 2 Events correlated to the exact same Day, to the Day. And that Day was a July 23rd, the End and Beginning of the Astronomical �Leo New Year�.
-And this July 23rd Day is pegged to be exactly 120 Days from the Spring Equinox Day Count. It commemorates the 4 Month Time-Frame of a Summer �White Wheat Wedding� occasion that was on the Feast of the First Fruits of the New Wine, etc.
-Lastly, it is believed by Jewish Tradition that the �Rainbow� Covenant, that of Noah after the Flood, occurred on Pentecost, i.e., on a July 23rd Delineation of the Astronomical New Year that starts with the Constellation of Leo.
7. WILL THE SELECTION OF THE �ANTI-LAMB' OR �ANTI-CHRIST' BY ISRAEL HAPPEN AGAIN IN NISAN?
-Again, one can see the Logic and Rationale behind this Assertion. It is a good and interesting one to consider. But there below would be one�s Reservations.
-In one�s Tribulation Timeline of a Fall 2025-Fall 2032, it is not that the Dispensation of being back Under the Law begins on a Nisan Month of a Religious Year. Nor will it begin on the Civil New Year in the Month of Tishrei as noted.
-Rather, that in dealings with Exposing the False Jewish Messiah, it is understood that 'Exposing' the Biblical New Testament �AntiChrist� will occur at the Mid-Point of the 2520 Day Count of the Tribulation Period.
-This is to infer that the Abomination of Desolation, is when the AntiChrist will actively Cancel the Covenant and demand Absolute Worship of him. And that the Daily Sacrifices the Lambs will stop.
-This 1260th Day Marker is when, therein, the Mark of the Beast will be Mandated. Why one is more convinced of this possible Scenario is that given one�s Fall 2025 to Fall 2032 Tribulation Period Timeline, the exact 1260th Day corresponds to March 30, 2029, which is Passover.
_______________________
As one can assess, the Topic is very Interesting, especially in light of the Question posed about when do the Biblical Dispensations actually occur. Although the Argument was posed about how Nisan could be that Time-Frame, one only presented a Rebuttal by providing what one Understands. It has been based on one�s Research using primarily Agricultural and Astronomical Triangulations with Biblical Scripture based on one�s own Interpretation. It is only one�s Conjecture and thus just as much a Theory to consider but presented nonetheless to critique.
Book
PENTECOST NEW WINE
Summer White Wheat Wedding
The purpose of this Book is to provide a Compilation of Articles over several Years of �Discovery into the Journey of Identifying where and when the True Count of Leviticus 23:15-16 occurred, i.e., the Feast of New Wine, precisely at a 99th Day Count. The challenge that his Book tackles is what is the Start Date? Why? This initial Start Date will determine the exact Day in which the Feast of New Wine, and thus the Pentecost of Acts 2 occurred. The Book will present Evidence that there are at least 3 main Theories based on differing Calendar Start Dates.
