In Ezekiel 4:4-6, we are given the number of years that God decreed for the exile of the House of Israel and the House of Judah. 390 years for Israel and 40 for Judah, but then in Leviticus 26:18, it states if they still fail to keep the Commandments, the Lord will increase the punishments, firstly for Israel by seven times. Then in verse 21, also increase Israel’s calamities by seven times. [civil wars, black death, etc]
For Judah – Leviticus 26:23-45 says that they will receive seven times seven extra punishment and exile. This passage describes quite well the history and current status of the Jewish people.
The Northern ten tribes of Israel were conquered by King Shalmanasser in 722BC. He took a large number of captives back to Assyria, including 200,000 Jewish prisoners, according to Assyrian records. The King’s library of cuneiform tablets, in Nineveh, inform us that Shalmanassar died in 720BC and was succeeded by King Sargon 2. Sargon took his army again to that important area of the Middle East and defeated a Philistine army in 719BC. He returned home with these captives, as well as the final remainder of the Israelites.
Now, if we multiply 390 X 7 = 2730, then 719 + 2730 – 1 = 2012. Minus one for no year zero. Therefore this year is the last year decreed for the exile and dispersion of the ten tribes of Israel, they will be able to return to their heritage in 2013. How this will happen is prophesied over 40 times, as the second Exodus.
