So are you proposing that 3 Nephi 10:18-19 refers to the end of the Religious year and not the calendar year? I don't have any problem with "soon" actually being the end of the calendar year.

Joseph Smith took possession of the gold plates on 22 September 1827; which in that year was Rosh Hashanah aka Feast of the Trumpets; which by Jewish tradition commemorated the bringing forth of the 10 Commandments by Moses and the start of the world (when Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden). After 5 visits by Joseph to the Hill Cumorah on that same day, it was not until in the 4th year on his final visit that 22 September 1827 fell on 1 Tishrei 5588. There is no doubt in my mind, God is running things!
