Virginia

This blog covers the founding and timeline for the State of Virginia. This clarifies comments in recent blogs about 2038. This is a component of possible future American history.

Precise Math

In several recent blogs I have hinted at how the series of headlines we are now in should finally settle down "about 12 years from now." I have also used 2038 as a general reference to that same general time. In this blog I fully explain the math.

There are 2 main prophetic stories that drive this timing. The story of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25 will give us a date inside a time window in 2037. That story will also eventually lend its name to the State of Virginia.

Then, there is the story of Pharaoh's Egypt. That story, when measured forward from the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, will also triangulate into 2037. Once 2037 is over, we reach a "safe haven" time in 2038. Let me start with the story of the 10 virgins.

Ten Virgins, No Oil

The link here is to Matthew 25:1 in the BRB. This is in a series of end-times parables given in that general section in Matthew. In particular, this story involves wise and foolish virgins who have various troubles. This includes sleeping, keeping oil in their lamps, and finding a resupply, in order to be ready for a midnight visit by their bridegroom.

Conceptually, the timing of this story does not appear to allow an exact date. How should we place a term like "midnight" onto a general timeline of history? Midnight comes around every 24 hours. So once each calendar day. So this does not look like a story that could be dated.

Even more curious, the passage ends with verse 13 which teases the reader and demands being alert because readers do not know the exact time when that day will be.

So the problem is figuring out if there is any particular "midnight" that could be dated and thus matched to this story. At the same time we need to beware that there are likely tolerance or precision issues that may limit the answer.

The Process

The overall chronological story of scripture pairs prophetically with the public ministry of Joshua. His ministry days clock off recorded history at the rate of 30 historical years to 1 of Joshua's ministry days. This gives us a prophetic ratio of 30 years/day. (The 30 pieces of silver used to betray, or reveal, Joshua form the basis of this ratio.)

Given the 30 years to the day prophetic ratio, we pass a prophetic midnight every 30 years, but 1/4 of the way, so 7.5 years, into each of those 30 year long prophetic days.

Ministry Timing

The link here is to the Bible Time article that gives the dates for Joshua's public ministry. There is 1) The day of his baptism. 2) 40 days in the wilderness. 3) 390 days in a Jubilee year of favor 4) 3 days in the tomb. 5) 40 more days before his ascension.

Each of those ministry days maps out to 30 years in history. We are currently on Resurrection Sunday, the last of the 3 days in the tomb.

The current prophetic day, so the current 30 year interval, ends at the end of the year 13020 AA. We are currently in year 13017 AA. So about 3 years before we switch to the next prophetic day. That next 30 year long "prophetic day" begins on 13021-01-01 AA (2030-01-02 NS).

Midnight Math

So the story of the 10 virgins might be running on this same ministry schedule. It is a story about Joshua, so this is the first feature. The second point is that every single day in that ministry had a "midnight." Those prophetic midnights pass prophetically once every 30 years.

So what would be the next possible midnight beyond 13021-01-01 AA?

Midnight is 1/4 of the way through a calendar day, so 7.5 years through a prophetic day. Those 7.5 calendar years end on 13028-07-01 AA (2037-06-24 NS).

Triangulation?

The next step is to see if we can triangulate against this date. Can we find other stories that might confirm this timing?

We can do this with the story of the Road to Emmaus. We can also mostly reach this date from Jamestown, VA. Let me take each in turn.

Road To Emmaus

The link here is to Luke 24:13 in the BRB. This is the start of the story of the Road to Emmaus. This was on the afternoon of Resurrection Sunday. The story itself is measured as "60 furlongs" from Jerusalem. That timing likely means 60 years from "Jerusalem" which was formally reached by Jews in 1967. So this has a possible prophetic application next year, in 2027. Joshua starts to reveal himself at that point. Joshua is found raised at that point. The time when Joshua was in the tomb is over.

That story then continues. The crew that Joshua met on the road that Sunday afternoon, then runs off to tell others what had just happened to them. So if more of that story is still on a prophetic clock, then it points to events beyond 2027.

The rest of the Road To Emmaus story has unclear timing. Apparently, there was an after-dark set of meetings where Joshua met his gathered disciples. We don't know for sure if it was all of his disciples or only a few. We also don't know exactly the time of day when this latter meeting actually happened.

Match By Content

But, consider the content match between those late meetings after the Road to Emmaus and the story of the 10 Virgins. Both of these are on the topic of an unexpected encounter with Joshua at night.

So this meeting with the disciples might be the midnight we are looking for to match the 10 Virgins. It is a second witness to the next "midnight" in 2037.

Beyond those late Resurrection Sunday stories, there are not really any other documented meetings until we get to Doubting Thomas about 1 week later. For us that would be 200+ years later. So if this next 2037 midnight is NOT correct, then there are around 2 more centuries before we might try again.

Plague On Firstborn

The link here is to Exodus 11 in the BRB. This is the story of the final plagues on Egypt. The story itself gets to the term "midnight" at verse 4. Here Joshua indicates that he will plague Egypt at "midnight."

The story itself is setting up for a distinction that will be made. Some in Pharaoh's world will not survive that midnight. Others will survive and be taken to the promised land. In that case, across the sea, out of Egypt and back to the lands of Abraham and his family.

This story has similar content to the story of the 10 Virgins. Some will be ready for midnight, some not. This story of the midnight plague is a good textual back story to the main parable of the 10 Virgins. Content is lining up between these stories quite nicely.

Finding Modern Egypt

Placing a replay of the Egypt story on the modern timeline is something not easy to do. Where might Egypt be located? When was it first colonized? When would those 430 years begin? When would they be over?

We recently found some obscure answers to those questions. Let me review.

Virginia Beach

Over Unleavened Bread week at the start of 2026, Ryan and I traveled to Virginia Beach, Virginia. We spent the week there in an off-season motel overlooking the Atlantic.

We were nearly walking distance to the first reported landing of the original English colonists who then sailed inland and settled at what is now Jamestown, Virginia.

We took a side trip one day and drove over to the Jamestown visitor's center, not far from modern day Williamsburg, Virginia. It was a fun day. It was pretty cold, so there were not huge crowds. Friendly staff, bundled in heavy coats, were lonely and wanted to talk. We learned a lot.

For those who may not know the history, here is the key Wikipedia article about the founding of Jamestown.

Jamestown (Wikipedia)

That particular article has several other linked articles for those who may want to learn more. The most important idea is that Jamestown was established as "James Fort" on May 4, 1607 O.S. (May 14, 1607 N.S.). Jamestown was the first successful English colony in the Americas. From that date and place grew all the rest of the English speaking areas of North America. This includes later colonies in Canada.

James vs. Jacob

James is of course English for Jacob. Jacob is the family that went down to Egypt. Jamestown is a name match to Jacob. So setting up Jamestown is like settling Jacob's family in Goshen.

It turns out, getting established at Jamestown was not easy. You can read the article for some of the specifics about the trouble of setting up Jamestown.

Loss of People

The first group of passengers was about 104 people. All men. They departed with 105 and lost 1 on the way. We learned from the staff at the visitor center that most of the original colonists died the first winter. They had to learn how to grow food on swampy southern soils that was unfamiliar to colonists from cold, damp, northern, England.

There were later rounds of settlers measured in groups of 70. Jacob's family was also a group of 70. The second round of settlers was also only men. There were still heavy losses. The first women arrived later.

It is hard to even imagine how difficult life must have been for those early settlers. Very important to note, life at Jamestown was still way better than life in London. The same driving factors of Jacob going to ancient Egypt drove settlers going to Jamestown.

Prophetic Egypt

Before visiting Virginia Beach, we had generally thought of the USA as a type of prophetic Egypt. The Mississippi would be the match to the Nile. The style of Zionist political leadership matches the Pharisees of the New Testament and matches Pharaoh from Pharaoh's Egypt.

But by visiting Jamestown, we were seeing that by name and by numbers, the story of the founding of Jamestown was matching the start of the story of going down to Egypt.

Once we could see the founding fort, and dated history, it became a curiosity to see if we could time Jamestown as the start of the USA as a scheduled version of prophetic Egypt.

This math lands in late 2036, just ahead of the next prophetic midnight. Since Egypt also ends at midnight, we can now see prophetic triangulation. Let me show you the math.

Julian Calendar Query

The link here is to the Julian calendar tool page on the Bible Time website. This tooling allows conversion between calendars. It shows the Paleo Calendar for individual months in history. It shows months using a format called "date reports." These show individual days on various calendars. This is more complex than the common Calendar app linked off the front of paleo.in.

This report is the best way to look up the date for the founding of Jamestown. The URL link is already primed to the Julian month that shows May 4, 1607 OS, and May 14, 1607 NS.

By looking carefully through that report, it shows us that date was 12597-11-15 AA. The day number for that date was 4,595,295. The day number system is also in the Calendar app, so we can now move around by dates or by days from the founding of Jamestown just by using the calendar app. We don't need to keep using the more complex Bible Time tooling.

Measuring Prophetic Time

When we measure prophetic intervals across history we are always converting between prophetic calendar time and individual days.

The number of days in individual years is not fixed. Sabbath years and Jubilee years have 13th months. Depending on how some prophetic year interval overlays calendar time the total number of days will shift around.

Because of the structure of the calendar, the absolute error bound is 2 months. So unless we know what we are doing and why, we can be off by up to 2 months when calculating year intervals starting at any given day.

"Bond Man" counting always gives the shortest number of days. It starts a new calendar, so a "bond" or "contract" calendar at the date of the start of the interval. This form of counting does not care about the actual running calendar. It will reach its own internal Jubilee leap months only rarely. This is favoring the bond man himself, and minimizes the days of the contract.

"Calendar" counting just moves by date along the running calendar. It will sometimes match bond man counting, but not normally. Since calendar year counting rarely ends just after a Jubilee, it does not usually produce the longest number of days. Compared to bond man counting, there is up to 2 months of difference for the final answer based on the starting date and the number of years.

A special case of Calendar counting happens when the end of the interval is just after a Jubilee year. This produces the longest possible counts of days because it captures the leap months found in the 49th and 50th years of the Jubilee cycle.

Measuring From Jamestown

So, if we want to count days forward from the founding of Jamestown, we need to get our head around what exact counting system should be used.

Exodus 12:40-41 indicates that the total time in Egypt was 430 years. It then indicates this was accurate to the day. So time in Egypt was measured to the day. Let me show the 3 possible calculations for Jamestown. Then we can pick the likely correct one.

1) Bond Man Counting

Bond Man Counting begins a calendar at the start of the interval. So we want a stand alone 430 year calendar with the first day on the founding of Jamestown. This will minimize leap months and give us the shortest possible time.

430-12-30

The link here is to the paleo calendar app, primed to month 12 of year 430. We are using this to calculate the end of a 430 year bond. By inspection of the 30th day in that month we can see the total days is 156,840.

Jamestown was founded on day number 4,595,295 AAN. 430 years later using bond man counting adds 156,840 days. So 4,752,135 AAN is the day that ends 430 of these types of years.

It turns out to end on 13027-10-15 AA (2036-10-11 NS). This is 3 months ahead of Passover in 13028 AA. It is 5 days after the Resurrection Sunday annual holiday. This calculated end of Egypt is about 9 months before the next prophetic "midnight."

These gaps, especially to the Passover Holiday hint that we are short some number of months. This is expected when using bond man counting.

2) By Simple Calendar Offset

If we take the calendar date for the founding of Jamestown, we can then move along the calendar by 430 years and find the ending date.

So the date for founding Jamestown is 12597-11-15 AA. Adding 430 years yields 13027-11-15 AA (2036-11-10 NS).

This is 30 days after the date found by bond man counting. It is now 2 months before Passover in 13028 AA. The tail end of this interval is getting better.

3) As Lived

The original interval lived in Egypt ended just after a Jubilee. So it was the special exception which turns out to maximize the number of days in the prophetic interval. This form of measuring time suggests Joshua was waiting as long as he could before taking action against ancient Egypt. It represents a mercy delay.

To run this calculation we need to know the historical dates in order to learn the count of days spent in ancient Egypt. That date work has already been done on Bible Time.

Abraham To Exodus

The link here is to the Bible Time article that provides the chronological details and citations needed to show that Jacob arrived in Egypt in 9071 AA. The last full year in Egypt was 9500 AA. The Exodus itself would have begun at the Passover in 9501 AA.

So the exact calendar date of the "midnight" at the Exodus was 9501-01-15 AA. So backing up 430 years, the exact day of arrival would be 9071-01-15 AA.

How many days are between those dates?

Calendar: 9501-01

The link here is the Paleo Calendar app set to point at the month of the Exodus. Inside this calendar month you can find the 15th day, the day of the midnight plague. By inspection, you can see this was a Tuesday. The day number was 3,465,615 AAN.

Calendar: 9071-01

Same trick again. The link here is to the Paleo Calendar app set to point at the month of Jacob's arrival in Egypt. The interesting day was the 15th of this month. It was a Sunday. By inspection, the day number was 3,308,715 AAN.

You can do the math. The days between going to Egypt and leaving Egypt was 156,900 days. This is the longest possible day interval. It suggests the timing was set as a mercy delay against Pharaoh. This may be because Pharaoh at the Exodus was an heir of Jacob.

Jamestown Math, Again

Jamestown was established as "James Fort" on May 4, 1607 O.S. (May 14, 1607 N.S.). This was 12597-11-15 AA. The day number was 4,595,295 AAN.

If we add 156,900 days, the same day count as lived in ancient Egypt, we get day number 4,752,195 AAN. Poking around in the Calendar app we find this to be 13027-12-15 AA (2036-12-10 NS).

This is 1 month shy of Passover. That date will be 13028-01-14 AA (2037-01-08 NS). This is the date for the evening meal. The next calendar day, so 13028-01-15 AA (2037-01-09 NS) is the date of the holiday remembering the midnight plague on firstborn.

So think again about counting time from Jamestown. The time of arriving in modern prophetic Egypt at Jamestown, until leaving prophetic Egypt at an annual holiday of Passover, is only off by exactly 1 month.

This difference is so close that it warrants an eventual review of the known events at the Jamestown landing.

Did the ships and crew that brought the colonists leave after 30 days? If so, the math will become perfect over 430 years.

10 Virgins Are Warned

Thinking back to the story of the 10 Virgins, it warns that the precise date cannot be known. Readers are told to be alert. That warning appears to be indicating that we can only get a close calculation from other stories. We are being warned no accurate calculation is possible.

So the story indicates that we cannot fully calculate the exact date before it happens.

It looks to happen sometime in 2037. But it could be late in 2036, especially if there are headline matches that follow the Exodus from Egypt landing inside the USA.

This is all I can say with certainty. It should be over by 2038.

Though this is all I can currently say about time, there is more to say about the place.

State of Virginia

The modern location for Jamestown is of course in the US State of Virginia. The story of the 10 Virgins is matching Virginia by name. That state was named after Queen Elizabeth I, who was known as the "virgin queen."

By name, Virginia is matching the story of the 10 virgins.

By content, the 10 virgins story also matches the story of firstborn plague at the Exodus. So that also matches the timeline that started in Virginia.

So running a timeline based on Egypt from the start of that colony to our 10 virgin's midnight in late 2036 or 2037, we are now connecting the entire flow of America's colonial history to soon future events.

Virginia is also the starting territory of the lost tribe of Manasseh arriving in the Americas. This matches the history of Joseph going to Egypt ahead of his brothers. Virginia was ahead of the rest of the country.

Though the nation started in Virginia, the current capital is outside of the state. But, the Pentagon is inside Virginia. The Norfolk shipyards are not far from Jamestown. War is the main industry of Virginia. The wars that the USA are currently conducting are being driven from Virginia. The current war against Iran is being fought from Virginia. It is a war fought over control of oil.

Confederacy

One other component to this story that is worth considering is the role Virginia played in the Confederacy. It was the capital of the south during the War of Southern Succession. Of course that war was lost, and the Zionist victors rewrote the history.

I have skipped linking to the Wikipedia articles because they do not tell the southern side of the history very well. As southerners tell it, the south was what remained of the Christian heritage that founded the USA.

What we today call Zionists had already taken over the north by the start of that war. Federal taxes had been cleverly redesigned to strip the south of wealth in favor of the north. The south was unfairly taxed to pay for the federal government. That war was ultimately a tax revolt.

The same pattern is going on now against Russia. The bankers need Russia's, Iran's and China's wealth to pay for world government.

After the war, the native southern Christian culture was destroyed. The productive capacity of the south could no longer be used to promote southern Christianity. Zionist Christianity would fill the vacuum and replace traditional southern, often Presbyterian, Christianity.

The story of the 10 virgins is ultimately a story of faith. So fights over faith matter to this story. The Civil War is part of this story. Zionist Christianity is part of this same story. The 10 virgins have trouble keeping their lamps lit. They all fell asleep for awhile.

Finding 5 Virgins

The Confederate flag has 13 stars, one for each state in the confederacy. 2 of those states, border states, were never functionally part of the south. They were occupied by the Union at the start of the war.

Of the remaining 11 states that made up the confederacy, perhaps 1 of them should be considered undeveloped, or outside of the core. Florida would be one easy guess as to where that extra state might be found.

Florida already had European, but Spanish, colonists when Jamestown was founded. There had been Europeans in Florida for the better part of 100 years.

Florida was ultimately taken over because Spain could not defend Florida. Spanish settlers in Florida would move to Havana, Cuba. Florida was thus late to join the Union. Finally, Florida did not develop fully until after the invention of air conditioning. Florida is currently infested with Zionists who have moved there from New York.

Richmond

In this view the 10 virgin story would then point directly at Richmond, Virginia. It was the national capital of the Confederacy. At that time, it was the capital of the 10 virgins.

Those 10 virgins thus become a specific set of 10 states within the former Confederacy. Within those 10 states, 5 of them have a future story of faith that matters in the late 2030s, perhaps beyond.

Those 5 faithful virgin states are thus special, and have faith to handle Joshua's return. Or, if this is a symbolic story, to handle the final plagues on Egypt and move on to a community like Moses setup after Egypt.

Because the State of Virginia is the main villain in the wars involving Iran, I would not expect the warrior spirit of Virginia to become the seed for faith, but we will see. Parts of the original state of Virginia are now West Virginia. There may be a different faith found there.

In any case, readers here can speculate about where those 5 states, those 5 virgins with the oil of faith, may be found.

The Lamp

The story of the 10 virgins is ultimately a story of the lamp with the oil. The symbolic meaning of these features is always pointing at the lamp used to establish the audit pattern around the name Abraham.

The 5 virgin's with 5 working lamps are thus also symbolic for the base inspired text and then 4 more families of ciphered documents that spring from the main document.

So the community of faith that the story expects to find after 2037 is going to be based on texts that nobody yet knows.

These texts, or at least an early set of them, are what Moses reintroduced to the heirs of Jacob. So if the Exodus happens again, reintroducing audited text will happen again too. This is what brings virgins out from their sleep.

Watching Headlines

We are in a very frightful time in world history. Trump and his Zionist overlords, so Pharaoh and his officials, have started a 3rd World War.

What I have sketched out in this blog points at future government officials who will take on the roles of pharaoh and his officials in the mid 2030s. They will probably not be the same people we know now, at least not most of them.

Like ancient Pharaoh, that future pharaoh and his first born son, will also be defeated.

It is not likely to be pretty, just like it wasn't for pharaoh and his officials in ancient Egypt. Remember, ancient Egypt was ruined and abandoned. History mostly repeats.

The ancient events following the Exodus from Egypt are not well timed, but they are pretty well documented. We can expect the same here.

By 2038 the worst of all of this should be over. Don't give up. Keep pressing ahead. When Joshua says jump, ask how high. Do what he says. The potential rewards are worth taking risks.

More Later,
