(this essay can very well be read to Rachmaninov's fourth piano concerto, especially the last half of it is beautiful, and of that part, especially the part that begins at 14.48 and goes on to 15.26)
 
 
In church history, the following numbers are important and holy (most of them have a significance in the bible, but those who haven't, get their significance from church history): 3, 7, 12, 40, 44, 70, 77, 120, 300, 330, 400, 900, 1200. 
 
To understand my numbers and my number symbolism in this essay, you have to remember that I suppose that 300 years has been added to the beginning of the Middle Ages (the "phantom time theory"). This is also prophetic in itself, because 300 is a holy number in church history. It is 3 X 100 or 30 X10, Jesus' age in the beginning of his ministry, amplified by 10 (ten is viewed in the Bible as a complete and perfect number)
 
Then to the numbers:
 
The first great apostasy after 300-330 years
 
About 300-330 years was given to the original, genuine, unspoiled apostolic church, the church that kept the traditions of Jesus and the apostles, yes the church of the first church fathers, which were the best ones, those who kept the traditions of universalism, for example. The church began in 25-28 AD, when Jesus began his ministry at his baptism (see this article). After 300-330 years the Catholic Church arose, it was somewhere between the First Council of Nicea in 325 and the end of Constantine's regime, and the edict of Thessalonika in 380. The Catholic Church, a very, very pagan church, with a lot of pagan bullshit, superstition and horror, crushed the original church and brought satanic (yes, I mean it!) doctrines into the church, doctrines like the one about eternal hell (preached by for example Tertullianus and Augustinus), and the one (which is not at all as bad) about Jesus being God, equal to the Father himself (the dogma of the Trinity). 
 
Wikipedia writes in this article
 
"Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire when Emperor Theodosius I issued the Edict of Thessalonica in 380, which recognized the catholic orthodoxy of Nicene Christians in the Great Church as the Roman Empire's state religion."
 
This process began in earnest in 325, when the doctrine of the Trinity slowly arose at the First Council of Nicea and thereafter. At around the same times the Roman emperor Constantine made Christianity a legal religion, in 313. 
 
The reign of the Catholic Church, the first great apostasy, for 900 years
 
900 years is an important number in church history. The Catholic Church reigned alone in the western world during ~325-1530 (which actually should be 1230, because of the phantom time hypothesis). It is 900 years, 3X300 years, a tripling of the time of the original unspoiled church, and it was a dark time, with a lot of persecution and inquisition. 
 
Around 1530, Protestantism began to crush the Catholic Church in many European countries. This Wikipedia-article says the following: "Lutheranism would become known as a separate movement after the 1530 Diet of Augsburg, which was convened by Charles V to try to stop the growing Protestant movement."
 
Twelve centuries were given to the western church before big parts of it (especially in the North) was laid under the yoke of Protestantism, which was only a little better than the Catholic Church in the beginning, and which degenerated very quickly into a new form of papalism (remember the inquisitions of the Protestant world, for example the Protestant witch hunts. See also this article). 
 
 
The role of protestantism in prophetic times
 
Three centuries were given Protestantism before it gave rise to industrialism in England, which was a descent into hell, a hell worse than that of the Catholic Church. Industrialism began in earnest after the time of Romanticism, in the beginning of the nineteenth century, although it started in the middle of the eighteenth century. The sociologist and historian Max Weber (1864-1920) traces the roots of capitalism to Calvinistic work ethics (see this Wikipedia-article). Industrialism was at the heart of the beginnings of capitalism, so I would say that industrialism also came from Protestantism. 
 
Four centuries (the time that the people of Israel was in slavery in Egypt at the time of Moses) were given to Protestantism to enslave western civilization before secularism came and liberated it, first in the form of liberal theology, that liberated us from dogmatism. This happened in earnest with the rise of modernism around 1930, 400 years after 1530. 
 
This last age of history, the age of modernism and modernist religion, began in the beginning of the twentieth century, will perhaps last for about 120 years, as long as Moses lived. It began around 1920-1930, and will last until the Second Coming of Jesus, which will perhaps take place in the middle of this century, around 2045, according to the Norwegian prophet and Smith's friend, my father's friend Gunnar Bertelsen, who died in 2019. Also from 1904-1905, the time of the Welsh revival, history's greatest revival, to the "rapture" and the beginning of "the Great Tribulation", in 2024-2025, there is 120 years. 
 
The modernist religion only partly, or, on the surface, liberated humanity. To the core it was just industrialism deepened, enslaving humanity with capitalism, technology and globalization, destroying nature in the process. 
 
There are more prophetic details to this "last age of humanity":
 
The last genuine revival of Protestantism, yes of all humanity and all human history, was the 1904-1905 Welsh revival, the last revival before modernism began, which was also the spark that ignited the Pentecostal revival, of which the same could be said, that it was the last genuine revival in history. The start of this revival was 120 years before the "Rapture" and "the Great Tribulation" probably begins, in 2024-2025. 
 
These 120 years can be divided into two periods:
 
1) The first is 44 years long (as long as the Finland-Swede radical pietist prophet Lars Ulstadius1650 – 1732, was in captivity for his very strong and holy prophecies, this makes it a very holy number in church history), and marks the time during which the Pentecostal revival was still holy (Albert Lunde's revival in Norway was holy, so were also Frank Mangs' revivals in Finland, Sweden and Norway), spreading over the whole world (this is an important feature in this last genuine revival of history, that it is global. No other revival has been that before). Then something really serious happened. The state of Israel was born in 1948, and then some very important words by Jesus was fulfilled, namely these: 
 
"And they (the Jews) shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." (Luke 21:24)
 
What happened 1948 and after? Yes, 1) Israel (actually, in the beginning, Britons and rich Jews from the western world) occupied Palestine and killed and displaced many of its indigenous people (see this Wikipedia-article), which was a disaster, but, still, a fulfilment of Bible prophecy, because the Jews got their land back, and 2) the United Nations, the UN, was formed during the period right after the Second World War, in 1945. This was a gigantic disaster, a beginning of globalization, and this really marked the end of the times of the Gentiles. And 3) a few years before, one of the greatest sins ever committed by the protestant world had been committed, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic bombs, a worse crime than even the Holocaust, because of the effects on Nature and coming generations. 
 
Maybe these three horrible sins (and two world wars, full of protestants and catholics fighting, full of believers fighting, the world was not that secularized yet) was one of the reasons why the Age of Grace for the Gentiles ended in 1948, and the spirit of God left the established churches, in order to live underground, in small house congregations and in conversation meetings only. Even one of the last churches to be corrupted, the always old-fashioned Smith's Friends, my mother congregation, was soon corrupted after its founder, Johan Oscar Smith (1871-1943), died. I know very, very much about this. The Smith's Friends were, for a long time, almost the last standing soldiers in Christianity, and was still, for many years after Smith's death, pretty holy, but less and less so.  
 
What happened to the Church after 1948? Exactly what Jesus had prophecied, and this is hard to believe. An apostasy of enormous proportions began around 1948-1950, modernism entered the Church in the western, rich countries, and took over completely. A "cultural revolution" happened in the Christian churches, around at the same time as communism (China's first "cultural revolution") took over in China (in 1948, see this Wikipedia-article). This was a culture of "spiritual father murders", and worldly music, worldly dressing, the acceptance of TV, mobile phones and computers, and worldly philosophies (like existentialism, liberalism, liberal theology, feminism, LGBTQ and postmodernism) and worldly habits took over in the church. Even the hippie-movement partly entered the church, the church became a slave of worldly fashion. What the world did, it did. In all areas, like a puppet or a marionette. This was "the second Great Apostasy", where the first was the one in the fourth century after Christ. So big an event it was. 
 
But the maybe strongest apostasy was the beginning of the false charismatic phenomena in the Christian church. This began with the "healing revival", that began slowly in 1944-1946. Then the Christian church began to focus on outward "signs and wonders" instead of holiness and separation from the world, as the mark of a revival, the latter which always before had characterized revivals, also the Welsh revival. This new modern thing began in earnest with the Latter Rain movement in 1948 (although Jack Coe started tent healing meetings already in 1944, 40 years after the Welsh revival), exactly 44 years after the Welsh revival began. 44 years is a prophetic number in church history because of the prophet Lars Ulstadius, and it signifies spiritually a strengthened 40 year period, and 40 years or 40 days in the Bible signifies spiritual preparation and a period of testing, trial or probation. The Church was tested by modernism for 44 years, and fell at last. What a sorrow in heaven. I guess that in heaven they do not play music composed after 1950, for these same reasons, the music became impure in the Christian churches after that, infested with worldliness. 
 
2) The second period lasts for 77 years, which means a time that is doubly ripe, because 7 is a number of perfection and completeness. During this time church history will perhaps be perfected, God's plans will perhaps be fulfilled, at least partly, and the Bride of Christ will perhaps be prepared and taken to heaven. 77 years after 1948 is 2025 (2024 begins the 77th year of Israel as a state, therefore something remarkable can happen also then), and this (or 2024) is a year that I pin some of my hopes on, that I will be resurrected bodily then, be "raptured". It has also to do with the syncronicities in this Swedish blogpost of mine. 
 
So, 2024-2025 is both 120 years after the last genuine revival started, and 77 years (or the 77th year if we take 2024) after the last genuine revival was corrupted and spoiled*, and the times of the Gentiles were fulfilled. For 77 years the official Christian church has been dead and rotting, being alive only in small house congregations, especially in China. Satan has taken over in all established churches, as the prophet Harold Camping said once. 
 
 
* If we take 1944 as the beginning of the false charismatic movement (the beginning of healing evangelist Jack Coe's ministry**), then we get 40 years (for the beginning of the same after the Welsh revival) and 80 years (to the end of the times of the Gentiles, after the Second Great Apostasy), also making 120 years. 40 and 80 years are also very holy numbers in the Bible, so also this is prophetically very significant. 
 
 
** For confirmation, that it really began in 1944:
 
On this page we find the following description of Coe:
 

"Jack Coe (March 11, 1918 – December 16, 1956) was one of the first faith healers in the United States with a touring tent ministry after World War II. Coe was ordained in the Assemblies of God in 1944, and began to preach while still serving in World War II. In the following twelve years, he travelled the U.S. organizing tent revivals to spread his message. Coe was hospitalized and died from bulbar polio in December 1956."

On this page on Facebook we find the following text: "Jack Coe: "I was having a tent revival in San Antonio in 1945,when I heard that a man called William Branham was discerning people's hearts and praying for sick. Sometimes we think we are the only one doing something for God.When I heard about discernment, I thought that was fortunetelling. So I decided to go find for myself what it was all about since he was in the same town I was. I tried to get in the healing line but failed. He was discerning people and declaring them healed. One man that he prayed for had no eyeballs at all and he told him that eyeballs will be formed in three days. I thought everybody could say that! So as William Branham finished praying for the people, they led him out using the door to where I was sitting nearby. As he reached close to me,he stopped instantly and layed his hands on me as he prayed silently. After that he told me that I was not sick but that my body was just tired. Then he softly said "You were doubting wether this is of God or not,I want to tell you that this is of God and we are both fighting the same devil.Go on and continue in your revival for you were also called to pray for the sick." When I left that meeting it was like I was walking on clouds! After three days I decided to find out about that man without eyeballs. When I saw him,he was still blind but eyeballs had formed. It was now noon. And that night, after he fell asleep, he awoke around 7 pm and started running around in the eyes shouting praises to the Lord because he was now seeing.From then on ,I knew that Rev. Branham was no ordinary preacher but was called for a dispensational purpose" "
