Building on the established foundation of the "true tent" and its chronological alignment with major milestones in Solomon's temple building, we look more closely at the symphony of time and find a repeating pattern in the rebuilding of the temple during Zerubbabel's time.
There is a resonance across generations. As discussed earlier, the calculated beginnings of the ministries of John the Baptist and Jesus coincide with the construction phases of Solomon's temple. These intriguing parallels suggest a divine orchestration of events and connections between them. We now turn to the time of Zerubbabel and find similar parallels.
This observed pattern is reflected in the following way: Notable milestones in the rebuilding of the temple in Zerubbabel's time (Ezra 3:8; 5:1-2) mirror those observed in Solomon's time. The foundation work in Zerubbabel's time also began in Ziv, as did the laying of the foundation in Solomon's time (1 Kings 6:37). However, unlike Solomon's temple, which began construction later in the same year, Zerubbabel's project faced opposition that led to a delay.
Interestingly, this pause ends right as the sixth month, Elul, begins. In that month, the prophet Haggai delivers a message of renewed purpose (Haggai 1:1). Two months later, in the eighth month, Bul, another prophet, Zechariah, joins Haggai with additional encouragement (Zechariah 1:1). Zechariah's words coincide with the resumption of construction, mirroring both the building of the first temple and the beginning of Jesus' ministry in the same month of Bul.
The repeated appearance of Ziv and Bul in the days of Solomon and Zerubbabel, coinciding with the beginning of the ministries of John and Jesus, respectively, is striking. It suggests a heavenly resonance, a deliberate use of specific months to echo the meaning of the "true tent" established at Jesus' baptism and the beginning of his public ministry. These echoes serve to further reinforce the argument for the use of this hidden calendar to interpret biblical prophecies and timelines.
