Once you have decided on whether you will use lunar years (354 days) or calendar years (360 days) or solar years (365 and 1/4 years),

The whole Bible is about Jesus coming, His death, resurrection and ascension, the power of the church and the return of Jesus before the final end of the world as we know it.
Look at verse 24…
Jesus has come to finish transgression … It is finished he cried.
Jesus has come to put an end to sin … He came to die for them.
Jesus came to atone for wickedness … With His blood.
Jesus came to bring everlasting righteousness … We are now righteous in God.
Jesus came to seal up vision and prophecy … He is God’s first and last Word.
Jesus came to anoint the most holy … He is the most holy presence of God.
It is all about Jesus.
It is all quite simple.
He has come and He is coming again!
