# **Ezekiel’s 430 Years: From 1630 to 2060**
The **430 years** in **Ezekiel 4**—where Ezekiel symbolically lies on his side for **390 days (years) for Israel** and **40 days (years) for Judah**—can be applied prophetically from **1630 to 2060** as a period of judgment and transformation leading to the establishment of **God’s Kingdom**.
## **1630: The Beginning of Ezekiel’s 430 Years**
The **Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648)** devastated Europe and marked the decline of the **Holy Roman Empire**, which had been the dominant force in Western Christianity for centuries. This period saw:
- **The weakening of the Holy Roman Empire**, making way for the rise of modern nation-states.
- **The continued rise of Protestantism**, further dividing European Christianity.
- **The spread of secularism**, as religious wars led many to question the Church’s role in governance.
This era also aligns with the **1260-year prophecy in Daniel 7**, which many interpret as beginning in **800 AD**, when **Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire**. If this period extends for **1260 years**, it brings us to **2060**, when the final judgment of the Papacy may occur.
## **The Trumpets of Revelation and World History**
The **trumpets in Revelation 8–9** symbolically represent key historical events leading to the final judgment.
### **1st Trumpet: The French Revolution (1789–1799)**
- The destruction of the monarchy and the Church’s power in France.
- The rise of **atheism and secularism**, setting the stage for future conflicts.
### **2nd, 3rd, and 4th Trumpets: The Napoleonic Wars (1799–1815)**
- Napoleon’s conquest reshaped Europe and weakened the Papal States.
- The wars caused massive destruction, symbolized by fire, blood, and falling stars.
### **5th Trumpet: World War I (1914–1918)**
- The fall of empires (Ottoman, Russian, German, and Austro-Hungarian).
- The spread of ideological movements like communism and fascism.
### **6th Trumpet: World War II (1939–1945)**
- The greatest global conflict in history.
- The Holocaust and the establishment of **Israel in 1948**, fulfilling Ezekiel 37.
- The rise of nuclear weapons, potentially foreshadowing future judgments.
## **The Final 40 Years: 2020 to 2060**
The last **40 years (2020–2060)** mirror Ezekiel’s **40 days for Judah**, marking the final phase of judgment before God’s Kingdom is fully established.
### **Future Events Leading to the Second Coming**
- **2027–2034: War of Armageddon (World War III)**
- Based on biblical patterns, global conflict is expected.
- Nations will gather against **Israel**, as foretold in **Ezekiel 38 (Gog and Magog War)**.
- The decline of Western power and the rise of new global alliances.
- **2030s: The Rise of the Final World System**
- A global government could emerge, fulfilling aspects of **Revelation 17**.
- The Pope as the **false prophet** will create a **new religious and political order** with Russia and other European countries.
One hour with the Beast is a period of 30 years
- **2060: The Fall of the Papacy and the Destruction of Rome**
- Based on **Revelation 16:17-21**, the **6th and 7th bowls** describe:
- A **great earthquake** that destroys **Babylon the Great (Rome)**.
- A **volcanic eruption**, possibly symbolizing the final judgment on the Papacy.
## **2070: The Establishment of the Kingdom of God**
- After the final judgments, **Jesus Christ will establish His rule on Earth**.
- The **Millennial Kingdom** of peace and righteousness will begin.
- The **saints (resurrected believers)** will reign with Christ, fulfilling **Daniel 7:27**.
## **Conclusion**
The **430 years from 1630 to 2060** mark a prophetic timeline leading to the end of human rule and the establishment of **God’s Kingdom**. The **Thirty Years’ War** weakened Christian unity, the **French Revolution** and **Napoleonic Wars** shook European monarchies, and the **World Wars** set the stage for the modern world. The final **40 years (2020–2060)** will see increasing global conflict, leading to the **fall of the Papacy** and **Christ’s return**. By **2070**, the **Kingdom of God** will be fully established, fulfilling the **prophecies of Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation**.
