Although we can't know the exact year of Jonah's entering into Nineveh, its really not needed at all. Because God tells us that it is the 2nd time He sent Jonah to Nineveh, and we understand that Jonah's name means "dove". And that a dove typifies the Holy Spirit-we then know that the time in view is the year 1994. As 1994 was the beginning of the 2nd outpouring of the Holy Spirit to the world.
So, we start our 40-day (a day for a year) countdown in the year 1994. And we find:
1994 (1) 1995 (2) 1996 (3) 1997 (4) 1998 (5) 1999 (6) 2000 (7) 2001 (8 ) 2002 (9) 2003 (10) 2004 (11) 2005 (12) 2006 (13) 2007 (14) 2008 (15) 2009 (16) 2010 (17) 2011 (18) 2012 (19) 2013 (20) 2014 (21) 2015 (22) 2016 (23) 2017 (24) 2018 (25) 2019 (26) 2020 (27) 2021 (28) 2022 (29) 2023 (30) 2024 (31) 2025 (32) 2026 (33) 2027 (34) 2028 (35) 2029 (36) 2030 (37) 2031 (38) 2032 (39) 2033 (40)
Yet forty days! From the second sending of the dove (Holy Spirit) to Nineveh (world) fits perfectly in the timeline from the Jubilee year of 1994 until the year (2033) which much Biblical evidence is indicating will bring this world to its conclusion.
