The EXACT DATE of Jesus Christ’s Return Revealed…This Is Going To Blow Your Mind!

I know what you’re thinking….Noah has really lost it now!

Noah’s about to join a very infamous list of people like Hal Lindsey and Harold Camping who all predicted the Rapture or the Second Coming of Jesus only to fail miserably and be remembered horribly throughout history….oh how sad for him!

So let me just put your mind at ease right upfront….no, I’m not doing that.  I just happened to find this fascinating so I’m sharing it with you.

If the date I’m about to show you comes and goes, I’ll still be here the next day and I won’t be off crying in some corner because I “missed it”.

It’s really foolish to think you can figure out the date with certainty.  Why?  Because the Bible tells you you can’t do it:

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
— Matthew 24:36 (NIV, also Mark 13:32)

That’s a good reason right here!

It’s also foolish because if you’re wrong everyone will laugh at you….and if you’re right, you won’t be here to take credit for it anyway!  That’s surely a lose-lose situation.

So I’m not doing that, I’m just showing you something I found to be very interesting!

And yes, I was having a little fun with the title of this article, being a little tongue-in-cheek, but I obviously got your attention or you would’t be reading this right now!

So let’s dig in….because while the Bible tells us no one will know the day or hour, it DOES  balance that out (as it so often likes to do) by telling us we can and should learn how to interpret the signs of the times and the seasons.

“You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.”
— Matthew 16:3

Ok, so with all of that background in mind, now let’s dig in, shall we?

This all started when I opened up YouTube to listen to something as I went out for a walk, and of course the algorithm gives me a Dr. Michael Heiser video.

This one actually happened to be one I hadn’t seen before, and it looked really interesting, so I clicked in….

A calendar that predicted when Jesus would be born?

It’s actually a pretty short video, you can watch it here if you want:

For those who don’t know Dr. Heiser, he’s basically as rock-solid as they come.

Sadly, he died a few years ago, but he left hundreds if not thousands of videos, papers, articles, websites, podcast episodes, papers, etc. for us in the time he was here.

The reason I find him so interesting (and I’m far from the only one) is because he’s at the peak of scholarship, you might even say the tippy-top.  He had all the degrees and all the published papers, and he could go toe-to-toe with anyone in the scholarship community and usually fly right past them.

But what made him unique was his ability to take all that brainpower and then explain things in ways that were really easy to understand.  And that’s a very unique skill set.

So I recommend you watch the video above, but I’ll also paraphrase it for you.

You may have heard of the Essenes, a sect of Jews who lived around the 2 BC-1 BC time period.  They were known for living out in the wilderness and splitting from mainstream Jewish teachers over a dispute with the calendar.

The Essenes believed they had the true calendar from God, one that was tied to Solar cycles, not Lunar cycles.  It had a strict 364 days per year, no leap years needed. Everything was ordered in perfectly ordered cycles — the special Holy Feast Days would always fall perfectly on the same day each year instead of moving around:

1. Solar-Based, Not Lunar

• The Essenes rejected the traditional Jewish lunar-solar calendar, which used moon cycles to determine months and leap years.

• Instead, they used a strictly solar calendar with 364 days, broken into perfectly ordered cycles.

2. Structure

• The year had 52 weeks (364 days), divided into:

  • 12 months

  • Each month had either 30 or 31 days

  • Every quarter (season) began on a Wednesday, which they considered the day of creation for the heavenly lights (per Genesis 1:14–19).

3. Perfect Order

• The calendar was based on multiples of 7 (sacred number for completeness).

• No leap years in their calendar — it had a perfect cycle that reset each year. Scholars debate whether or how they adjusted for the drift over time.

4. Major Feast Days

The calendar gave fixed days for all biblical feasts, unlike the lunar calendar where dates could shift:

 

Feast	Day in Essene Calendar
Passover	14th of the 1st month (always on a Tuesday)
Feast of Unleavened Bread	Begins on 15th (Wednesday)
Feast of Weeks (Shavuot)	15th of the 3rd month
Feast of Trumpets	1st of the 7th month
Day of Atonement	10th of the 7th month
Feast of Tabernacles	15th of the 7th month

5. Priestly Rotations

• The Essene calendar was tied to the rotation of priestly courses in the Temple, as described in 1 Chronicles 24.

• Each priestly division served in cycles that aligned with the solar calendar.

6. Theological Significance

• They believed the lunar calendar used by the Jerusalem priesthood was corrupt and out of sync with God’s true order.

• Their solar calendar was seen as divinely revealed and rooted in the Book of Enoch, Jubilees, and other apocalyptic literature.

Anyway, Heiser explains in the video that using this calendar system, the Essenes essentially predicted the exact date Jesus’ birth, which is pretty incredible.

Quick side note: you do know Jesus wasn’t born on December 25th, right?

God loves to do big things on the Feast Days established in the Bible, so you would have to expect that Jesus would likely have been born on one of the Feast Days, wouldn’t you?

Turns out, most serious scholars believe he was:  September 11, 3 BC.

Here’s why:

Here’s why September 11, 3 BC is considered:

1. Astronomical Alignment (Revelation 12 Theory):

• Revelation 12:1–2 describes a heavenly sign: “a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.”

• On September 11, 3 BC, a rare astronomical alignment occurred:

  • The constellation Virgo (the Virgin) was “clothed with the sun.”

  • The new moon was at her feet.

  • The planet Jupiter (king planet) was near the “womb” region, interpreted as symbolizing the Messiah’s birth.

• This exact alignment only occurs once in thousands of years, and some believe John was describing this specific celestial event.

2. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah):

• This is the first day of the 7th Hebrew month (Tishri).

• In 3 BC, the first visible crescent new moon that would mark Tishri 1 appeared on the evening of September 11, making September 11–12 the Feast of Trumpets that year.

3. Symbolism of the Feast:

• Yom Teruah is a feast of announcement and awakening, involving shofar blasts, and some rabbis historically called it “the day no one knows the day or hour” because it depended on moon sightings.

• That phrase also echoes Jesus’ own words in Matthew 24:36 — which has caused some to wonder if He hinted at His own birthday.

This is actually one of the reasons I first came to suspect 9/11 was an inside job.

To me, the biggest piece of evidence exposing 9/11 is not Building 7 (although that’s huge), it’s not the free-fall speed of the buildings or the fact you can clearly see explosions inside, it’s not “Lucky Larry” or the Passports from the alleged hijackers that were perfectly recovered out of the rubble…

All of that is big, but the biggest thing to me was when I realized it was on 9/11, because the “Elite” who stage things like this hate Jesus and God and they will do anything they can so ruin anything special, like the date of Jesus’ birthday.

So instead of the world celebrating 9/11 each year as Jesus’ birthday, instead we think of the horrible tragedy where thousands were killed, and then we (wrongly) celebrate Jesus’ birthday on December 25th.

See how Satan always twists and corrupts the truth?

I don’t think those are first order issues, but I do think it’s strong evidence to me that he was indeed born on September 11, 3 BC.

Ok, now back to our main story….

Many people believe the history of time is 7,000 years, broken up in a 4-2-1 cycle, which just so happens to coincide with the Collatz Conjecture that Bo Polny and I have discussed many times.

If you don’t know about the Collatz Conjecture, it’s this very strange mathematical equation that has absolutely vexed mathematicians for centuries.  The Conjecture is hardwired into math, which says if you follow only two basic rules (kind of like a game), all numbers eventually reduce down to a 4-2-1 cycle.  Almost as if God hardwired that into math just as a wink and a nod to the fact that history is comprised of 7,000 years and those 7,000 years are broken up into 4,000 years of the Jews, 2,000 years of the Gentiles, and then 1,000 years of the Millennial Reign.  Even further broken up like this:

• 2,000 years of chaos (pre-Abraham),

• 2,000 years of Torah (Abraham to Jesus),

• 2,000 years of grace (Church Age),

• 1,000 years of Messiah’s reign.

While some people think the Earth is billions of years old, this is why “Young Earthers” think the Earth is roughly 6,000 years old.

4-2-1.

Bo Polny was the first person I ever met who discovered the power of the 4-2-1 cycle, and then I later learned this was a well-known “problem” in Mathematics that has never been fully explained, and now I see how perfectly poetic it all is.  God loves Numbers.  He even devoted an entire Book of the Bible to Numbers, you do know that right?

Now I’m going to bring it all home….

Ok, so realizing that the Essenes’ calendar system seems to have been perfectly tuned to predict Jesus’ birthday, I then asked the next logical question: Ok, so what happens if we add 2,000 years to the date of Jesus’ death using their calendar system, what date do we get?

This is where it gets really good….

Remember, I’m not setting dates here, I’m not telling you the world is ending, I’m just doing what I always do around here which is investigate and seek truth.

Here’s the answer I got:

Step 1: Determine the date of Jesus’ death

Most scholars place Jesus’ crucifixion on:

• April 3, 33 AD (Friday, 14 Nisan on the Hebrew calendar)

  • This is widely accepted because there was a partial lunar eclipse that evening — referenced in Peter’s Pentecost sermon (Acts 2:20, “the moon will turn to blood”).

---

Step 2: Understand the Essene calendar system

The Essenes used a 364-day solar calendar, organized into:

• 52 weeks x 7 days = 364 days

• Their year always began on a Wednesday, believed to commemorate the 4th day of creation (when the sun, moon, and stars were created — Genesis 1:14–19).

• Every year had exactly 364 days — 1 day short of the solar year (365.24 days), which would accumulate drift over time unless corrected.

Important: If we follow the Essene calendar strictly, without intercalation (leap days to correct for drift), we will be about 5 days off every year from the solar year — adding up to massive calendar drift over centuries.

But for simplicity (and fairness to the theory), let’s assume their system remained intact and miraculously synchronized to the solar cycle over time — as some believe they had divine or astronomical methods to realign it.

---

Step 3: Add 2,000 Essene years of 364 days

• 2000 x 364 = 728,000 days

• Convert 728,000 days into solar years:
  728,000 ÷ 365.2425 = ~1993.28 solar years

---

Step 4: Add 1993.28 solar years to Jesus’ death (April 3, 33 AD)

• Add 1993.28 years to April 3, 33 AD:

  • 33 AD + 1993 years = 2026 AD

  • 0.28 of a year = ~102 days, which lands us in mid-July

---

Final Result:

If Jesus died on April 3, 33 AD, and you add 2000 Essene calendar years (364 days each), you arrive at approximately:

July 14, 2026 AD (Gregorian calendar)

Ok, so July 14, 2026.

Folks, that is nearly one year away from the date this article is published (April 23, 2025)….

But something about that date didn’t quite look right.  Why?  Remember what I told you above….God loves to take major action on the major Holy Feast Days established in the Bible, and none of those occur in July.

So something about that date just felt wrong, and then I realized it really shouldn’t be 2,000 years from Jesus’ death but rather from his Ascension.

So I ran the math again, adding 2,000 years under the Essenes calendar system and adding that to the date Jesus ascended into Heaven and here’s what you get:

Step 1: Date of Jesus’ Ascension

According to Acts 1:3, Jesus appeared to His disciples for 40 days after His resurrection. If He rose on Sunday, April 5, 33 AD (based on the Friday, April 3 crucifixion), then:

Jesus’ ascension would have occurred on Thursday, May 14, 33 AD

---

Step 2: Add 2,000 Essene years (364-day years)

• 2,000 Essene years = 2,000 × 364 = 728,000 days

• Convert to solar years:
  728,000 ÷ 365.2425 ≈ 1993.28 solar years

---

Step 3: Add 1993.28 solar years to May 14, 33 AD

• Add 1993 years: 33 AD + 1993 = 2026 AD

• 0.28 years = about 102 days

• Add 102 days to May 14, 2026 → August 24, 2026

---

Final Result:

If you add 2,000 Essene calendar years (728,000 days) to the Ascension date of May 14, 33 AD, you land on approximately:

August 24, 2026 (Gregorian calendar)

August 24, 2026.  That still isn’t a major Holy Feast Day, but do you know what is?

September 11, 2026, the Feast of Trumpets — just 18 days later:
