The Jubilee Cycles

Four Keys to Connecting History with Bible Chronology
Date Setting―The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Jubilee Principle

We live in a very strange and difficult time.  Without even being prompted, many people express the opinion that something is not quite right―something big is about to happen!  They are just not sure what exactly or when.  I am sure that in the back of their mind they are thinking about how the leading nations of the world currently have the power to destroy all of mankind 20 times over―something we were only made capable of doing by the end of World War II.  And I am certain that other issues come across their mind, like Terrorism, Floods, Depression, Famine, and AIDS.  And then they might be thinking the Messiah is coming soon, or the end of the world is near, or some great cataclysm is about to strike.  Are we really close to the end?  And, if so, what will we do about it?

The Coming Kingdom

Messiah is coming soon to set up his kingdom on this earth.  Most people are unprepared for this event, because they have been taught of a spiritual kingdom now, and a heavenly kingdom in the future.  While it is true that Messiah taught of a "spiritual" kingdom when he said "the kingdom of Yahweh is at hand," this did not mean that the future kingdom was not to exist literally here on this earth.  It has been the hope of many of the great patriarchs (starting with Abraham) to inherit a literal kingdom on this earth, the land of promise―paradise restored (Revelation 2:7).

Related to this issue are the two great deceptions of these last days.  One is that people are expecting to avoid the tribulation through a secret rapture that will take them to heaven, away from this earth, instead of facing the tribulation and going through it with victory.  Search the Scriptures carefully and you will not find a single piece of solid evidence in support of a "secret rapture."  Another great deception is that we are not required to keep the commandments of Yahweh (as expressed all throughout the Torah).  James says that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:17).  In Matthew 5 Messiah himself declares that he did not come to do away with the Torah, nor with the commandments taught there:

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets.  I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever  therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.   (Matthew 5:17-20)

Among Christian circles it is often taught that Messiah Yahushua (aka, Jesus Christ) did away with the Law of Moses, which (when you think about it carefully) makes no sense.  How can Messiah, a sinless and Torah obedient Jewish rabbi, teach people to follow him and his example of keeping Torah and then tell them later it is no longer required?  Duh!  Once people have taken this 'poison pill' (that says we no longer need to keep the law) they then view anyone who teaches obedience to Torah as being confused or worse, a "deceiver and an anti-christ!"  So, as a result, they generally expect that some anti-christ figure will come to this earth, rebuild the third temple, begin holding sacrifices as taught by the law of Moses, and proclaim himself king of Israel.  The irony is that this is exactly what the true Messiah will do, and much of the world will be arraigned in opposition to his government when he finally does come:

And speak unto him saying, Thus speaketh Yahweh of hosts saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of Yahweh. Even he shall build the temple of Yahweh and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. (Zechariah 6:12-13).

To teach that this prophecy only has some "spiritual" application goes in defiance of the context—for in verse 13 it clearly states that he will "sit and rule upon his throne!"

The Bible tells us more of what will happen at this time when it says that:

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people, all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.  . . . In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. Yahweh also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. In that day shall Yahweh defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Yahweh before them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.   (Zechariah 12:2-3, 6-9)

Some of this prophecy has already been fulfilled, as Yahweh has saved "the tents of Judah first" (the Jews) as He restored them to the land, and established them as a nation, in 1948.  Just before Messiah comes the remainder of the prophecy will also be fulfilled, as the rest of the lost tribes (those who are willing and ready) will be restored to the land and Yahweh will "seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem" in that day.  But another question that is foremost in many minds is, when will this be?  What is the timeline?

Seven Thousand Year Plan

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of [the Almighty] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: . . . But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  (2 Peter 3:3-5, 7-9)

In the Bible, as well as other extra Biblical literature and historical documents from the past 2500 years, there is mounting evidence that our Creator has established cycles of time by which we can reasonably prepare for the great time of trouble coming upon all men.  In 2 Peter we are told that there would be scoffers in the last days.  First, there would be scoffers who were "willingly ignorant" of the fact that Yahweh created the heavens and the earth, and this has clearly been fulfilled through the "uniformitarianism" teaching as mandated in the public schools through the false teaching of evolution.  [Please see more comments in this regard in my Questions and Answers section called Creation Verses Theistic Evolution.]  But Peter then directs his attention to another group of scoffers who were ignorant of something else.  He says that we were not to be ignorant of just one thing―We should not be ignorant of the idea that 1000 years is like a day.  What does this mean?  First, it means that last day scoffers will, indeed, be ignorant of that fact.  And second, it means that the righteous will not be ignorant of that fact.  Why is it that ignorance about this subject is something to be avoided?  Well, maybe it could cause us to believe the day of judgment is either too soon or too late, and that could cost us our lives.  Yes, there are those that do not believe Messiah is coming at all.  But Messiah did not speak of that.  He was not concerned that people would not believe in his coming, but that they would think that his coming was delayed so that they could live as if the world had no end.

But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;  The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? (Luke 12:45-49)

The first time Yahweh destroyed the earth, it was with water.  In these last days He will destroy it with fire.  When will it happen?  According to Revelation 19, the kings of the earth will gather to do battle with Messiah, after which the beast and false prophet will be cast into the lake of fire.  In Revelation 20, it says that the millennium will begin soon after that with the devil being cast into a bottomless pit for 1000 years, during which time he will not be able to deceive the nations until the 1000 years are finished.  So, it will begin just before the 1000 years begin―and conclude with both the wicked and the elements being destroyed after the 1000 years, followed by a new heavens and new earth.

If a thousand years is like a day, is it not consistent to think that 7000 years is like a week?  And if this is true, does that support the validity of the 7000 year plan of Yahweh?  The reason for this will become clear once we examine the historical evidence related to the establishment of both the 7000 year plan and the Jubilee Calendar.

In the first three chapters of Genesis we learn of the creation week.  It basically says that Yahweh created the world in six days, and rested on the seventh day―the Sabbath.  In Leviticus 25, it tells us that there are Sabbatical cycles (seven years) and Jubilees (the 50th year after a seventh Sabbatical cycle).  And finally, based upon this text of 2 Peter 3, Yahweh is preparing to bring a 1000 year time of peace.  Could this 1000 years be almost here?  Could it be a reference to a 7000 year plan of Yahweh, which will usher in the new Messianic kingdom sometime soon―when the 6000 years allotted to mankind for doing "his" work (works of mostly evil) come to an end?

In the ancient book the Secrets of Enoch (also called II Enoch) which is over 1900 years old, it says:

And I appointed the eighth day also, that the eighth day should be the first-created after my work, and that the first seven revolve in the form of the seventh thousand, and that at the beginning of the eighth thousand should be a time of not-counting, endless with neither years, nor months nor weeks nor days nor hours. . . . (Secrets of Enoch 32:1, 2, 4; 33:1)

In the Epistle of Barnabas, written sometime prior to about 300 CE, it says this:

Moreover concerning the Sabbath likewise it is written in the Ten Words, in which He spake to Moses face to face on Mount Sinai; And ye shall hallow the Sabbath of the Lord with pure hands and with a pure heart. And in another place He saith; If my sons observe the Sabbath then I will bestow My mercy upon them. Of the Sabbath He speaketh in the beginning of the creation; And God made the works of His hands in six days, and He ended on the seventh day, and rested on it, and He hallowed it. Give heed, children, what this meaneth; He ended in six days. He meaneth this, that in six thousand years the Lord shall bring all things to an end; for the day with Him signifyeth a thousand years; and this He himself beareth me witness, saying; Behold, the day of the Lord shall be as a thousand years. Therefore, children, in six days, that is in six thousand years, everything shall come to an end. And He rested on the seventh day. this He meaneth; when His Son shall come, and shall abolish the time of the Lawless One, and shall judge the ungodly, and shall change the sun and the moon and the stars, then shall he truly rest on the seventh day. (Epistle of Barnabas, 15:1-5).

Another Christian author, Ireneus, from about the second century CE, wrote this:

For in so many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded . . . and God brought to a conclusion upon the sixth day the works He made . . . in six days created things were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end after six thousand years.  (Adversus haereses, Book V, Chap. XXVIII)

Jewish Rabbis of the temple and post temple era also wrote about this idea of 6000 years for man followed by a millennium of relative peace.  The Talmud (compiled from the second to fifth centuries CE) has this to say:

R. Kattina said: Six thousand years shall the world exist, and one, it shall be desolate, as it is written, And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.¹

Abaye said: it will be desolate two thousand, as it is said, After two days will he revive us: in the third day, he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.²

It has been taught in accordance with R. Kattina: Just as the seventh year is one year of release in seven, so is the world: one thousand years out of seven shall be fallow, as it is written, And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day,' and it is further said, A Psalm and song for the Sabbath day³, meaning the day that is altogether Sabbath — and it is also said, For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past.⁴

The Tanna debe Eliyyahu teaches: The world is to exist six thousand years. In the first two thousand there was desolation; two thousand years the Torah flourished; and the next two thousand years is the Messianic era (Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Sanhedrin, Folio 97a).

Do we really understand the times we are living in?  Terrorism. . . Economic meltdown. . .Earthquakes. . .Floods. . .Recession. . . Depression. . . War. . .Famine. . .AIDS. . .  Do we really know what time it is?  Can Fox, CBS, NBC, or ABC, really tell us what is happening? While it may seem like doomsday, and many are fearful of looking too closely, the truth beckons us to open the door and look more closely.  Yes, when we open that door we find that there really is a timeline connected with history.  And while the outlook is not pleasant, there is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel.  It's not the end of the world that we are approaching:  but, it could be the end of the world as we know it.

In order to understand the present and the future, we need to link it with the past to clearly see where we are heading and what we should do to prepare for the future.  Here is a 30 minute video presentation showing us where we are in time.  Download and play the flash video, get out your calculators, and then get ready to do some Holy Math!!

It's About Time

There are others who talk about a Jubilee Code and how it can be used to track history from creation to the present.  But these are very often complex codes with complex cycles, one cycle overlapping another, and very difficult for even the above average person to comprehend.  And can there really be "layers of cycles" when such can only bring confusion?  For where do the layers end and the random chances begin?  It has been my experience that the more complex something is the more likely it is in error.

The ways of Yahweh, in contrast, are very simple.  Here we will show that the true Jubilee Code is actually very simple and basic, that it follows a basic set of 7 and 49 year alignments, and that it requires no advanced math to figure it all out.  It is part of Yahweh's nature to "hide in plain sight" His most wonderful truths!  But since the time is short, it is vital that we reveal this Jubilee Code to those who are willing to search for these truths as if they were hidden treasures. Once the realization hits home that these genealogies from Genesis 5 and 11 contain some of the most fantastic codes ever known, then it will not be a secret much longer.  I sometimes (humorously, of course) call this "HOLY MATH!"

2. Hosea 6:2

3. Psalm 92:1

4. Psalm 90:4

Since James Ussher published his chronology of the Bible, many Christians have (over the course of time) accepted his chronology as accurate, even to the point of publishing his dates within popular Bibles.  His chronology indicates 4004 BCE is the year of Creation.  However, the Messiah came and has left again for almost 2000 years―and according to Ussher, the 6000th year (1995) has come and gone.  So, have we really passed the year 6000 or is it possible that we still have more time?  Is it a myth, or could there be something to this 7000 year plan?  And, if so, is there some way to confirm that Yahweh implements certain events to correspond with certain cycles of time?

The Jubilee Cycles

If Yahweh really does work on a 7000 year plan for mankind, is it possible that we can look at the chronologies of the men of the Bible to see how exactly those cycles fit in with that plan?  Returning again to Leviticus 25, we find that when the children of Israel came into the land of Canaan they were to start counting Sabbatical cycles (every seven years) and Jubilee cycles (which is based on counting seven sabbatical years, for a total of 49 years) followed by a year of Jubilee (the 50th year). 

Are these Jubilee cycles (49 year cycles) present in the history of the world―especially as presented in the chronologies of Scripture?  Can those same Jubilee cycles even be found in secular history, all the way into our own modern era?  Here is a Synopsis of the Jubilee Calendar by which to examine this question in more detail.  Take a hard and close look at all of the amazing mathematical alignments, and ask yourself the question―can this all be just some sort of strange coincidence?  After you look this over carefully, come back here and I have some more questions for you.

Here are those questions:

Would Someone PLEASE calculate the odds

of all these events being purely random?

Based upon the concept that Jubilee cycles are 49 years in length . . .

What are the odds that the life of Adam would line up with exactly 19 Jubilee cycles?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that Shem would be born exactly 2 Jubilee cycles before the end of the great universal flood?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that Isaac would be born exactly 8 Jubilee cycles after the end of the flood?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that Sodom and Gomorrah would be destroyed exactly 8 Jubilee cycles after the start of the flood?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine in Egypt would line up perfectly with the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycles present within the chronologies of Genesis?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the seven years of famine in Egypt would be completed just before the start of another Jubilee year?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the Exodus would take place exactly 490 years (or 10 Jubilee cycles) after the birth of Isaac?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the first temple in Jerusalem would be built exactly 487 years after the Exodus, in the exact midst of the last week before a year of Jubilee?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the Messiah himself would start his ministry in the last week of Daniel's 70 week prophecy, and be crucified 487 years after the decree to restore and build Jerusalem―in perfect sync with the same amount of time allotted to the building and completion of the first temple?

Just Do The Math

But (You Say) I Don't Believe the Bible . . .

Now someone is going to say, "well, that is interesting, but it is just the Bible―and who can really trust the Bible?  Maybe they purposely manipulated the numbers to make them line up!!"

OK, I will grant them this concern.  But let us not forget that the Bible is also an historical document, and as such should be at least given the benefit of the doubt.  So then, what about other more modern historical events―events which are not part of Scripture?  What if those events line up with the same Jubilee Calendar, the same 49 year cycles which I have been presenting here―one which is based upon the chronology of Scripture?

SOOOOO . . . . . . . .

What are the odds that the Bar Kochba Revolt would line up perfectly with the Jubilee Cycles, to begin on a year of Jubilee (133 CE)?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the rental contract (MUR24E) connected with the Bar Kochba Revolt would specify a Sabbatical year 7 years after the start of that revolt?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the Fall of the Roman Empire would take place in a Jubilee year?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the Islamic Calendar would begin on July 16, 622 CE, near the end of cycle 94 on the Jubilee Calendar? July 16th is the same date for the first testing of the Atomic Bomb in 1945, and the first strikes of the comet Shoemaker Levy in 1994 (as we will shortly see). All of these dates are 49th years on the Jubilee Calendar.  (Mohammed began his Higera from Mecca to Medina soon after this, on September 9, which was still a 49th year. Mohammed arrived in Medina in October, which was in a year of Jubilee.)

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that another 7 year famine in Egypt would start on a year of Jubilee (in the dark ages)?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that World War II would last seven years and end on a year of Jubilee?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the atomic bomb would be first tested only about 50 days prior to another Jubilee year which is in perfect alignment with this calendar, and used in war soon after?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that the UN would be formed on a year of Jubilee, exactly 70 years prior to the conclusion of 6000 years of history (according to these same Jubilee alignments)?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that comet Shoemaker-Levy would begin to strike Jupiter exactly 49 years to the very day after the first testing of the atomic bomb in New Mexico―again, just 50 days prior to another Jubilee year?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that Shoemaker-Levy would strike Jupiter 21 times, the exact number of years remaining on the Jubilee Calendar to the year 6000?

Just Do The Math

What are the odds that all of these alignments with the Jubilee Calendar are purely coincidental?

Just Do The Math

Now some will venture to say that anyone can just randomly pick out historical events that line up along 49 year cycles, and therefore make it appear that it is part of a special code―a divine plan.  However, that is not what we have done here.  We don't start with modern day events or dates, and try to "make them fit."  No, we start with Scripture first, and the events which are spoken of there―events that go back four to six thousand years.  The Jubilee code is based upon clearly defined chronological history and specific time prophecies found in Scripture, spread out over several thousand years.  The authors of the Bible could not have manipulated the data, because they each only had a "piece of the puzzle."  They could not possibly have known that it formed a pattern over several centuries, such as we can plainly see here today.  Modern historians could not have manipulated the data either, and for the same reasons.

So, this is not a numbers game, for that involves random chance.  And just because Scripture does not openly talk about this special Jubilee Code, does not mean it is not there.  As I mentioned earlier, “It is the glory of the Almighty to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.” (Proverbs 25:2)  As we can clearly see from an examination of Biblical chronology, history validates the testimony of Scripture by subtly recognizing these same Jubilee patterns.  He put all of this there to let us know that regardless of the deceptions and corruptions that would come into the ranks of the true and the faithful, He would always be there to declare behind the scenes His very presence.

Yahweh does not want us to just accept everything by purely blind faith, and so He gives us reasons to believe Him―and some of those reasons are even subject to mathematical testing, as we have begun to do on this website.  In Scripture, He does not just ask us to follow Him blindly and without reason.  He says "taste, to see if I am good!" (Psalms 34:8)  Yahushua declared His mission to the Jews and gave them many signs so that they should believe.  He does the same for us, only without his actual presence.  Yes, he does not want us to depend completely upon signs―but, nevertheless, he does give us signs to help us find the way.  And in spite of the doubts of his own disciples, including Thomas, he was willing to even submit himself to being tested.  He speaks directly to the doubting Thomas's of this world, those who are unable to listen anymore to all the rants and raves of modern organized religion (including Christianity) which has also deviated from the faith "once delivered to the saints":

Yahushua saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. And many other signs truly did Yahushua in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Yahushua is the Messiah, the Son of Yahweh; and that believing ye might have life through his name. (John 20:29-31)

Yahushua (commonly, but erroneously, known as Jesus) is the true Messiah, the Jewish Messiah, Son of Yahweh, and sent by Yahweh to declare the works of Yahweh―including eternal life through belief in him.  He is not so concerned with his status or position that he is unwilling to allow himself to be put to the test.

Don't Just Blindly Accept His Word For It―Do The Math!!

When did life begin on planet earth?  Some say it was billions of years ago, but there is actually scientific evidence that the earth is less than 10,000 years old, as demonstrated by polonium halos found in granite by Robert Gentry (details at www.halos.com/ ), which proves a sudden creation and, consequently, a young earth.  If you believe what the Bible says about creation, you would have to say this planet is actually about 6000 years old, and this figure squares with the conclusion arrived at by research scientist Dr. Robert Gentry.  Dr. Gentry, a former evolutionist, was puzzled by the existence of polonium-218 inside granite rocks, which are considered the oldest rocks on the planet.  How could polonium-218, which has a half-life of three minutes, exist within a granite rock, which evolutionists believe cooled over a billion-year period?  After three minutes of cooling, polonium-218 begins to fade away, along with any trace of its existence.  How could it have been suspended within solid rock that took billions of years to cool?

Polonium-218 halos as found inside granite rocks.  These have a half life of 3 minutes,

making it impossible for them to have formed over millions of years and survived

until today―unless they were created quickly less than 10,000 years ago.

The only solution that Dr. Gentry could come up with was an instantaneous, sudden creation, which would have preserved the existence of this element.  If there was a sudden creation, Dr. Gentry realized it had to be by intelligent design.  Maybe the Bible is right after all.  Maybe the earth really is around 6,000 years old!

Please see more comments in this regard in my Questions and Answers section called Creation Verses Theistic Evolution.

Throughout this website, and in the published statements of the author, the use of the name of Yahweh (YHWH), the true name of the Creator, is used often, especially in Biblical references (generally taken from the King James Version).  This is completely appropriate, for there is no valid Scriptural reason for removing the name of the Creator―and to do so would be to dishonor Him.  If this offends you, I would suggest you search out the matter more carefully.  The common belief of many, both Jewish and Christian, that the use of that name is a sin or that it is somehow a violation of the third commandment is merely tradition which has no basis in Scripture.  There is good reason to believe that the opposite may be true, that removing His true name may indeed bring dishonor to Him―just as the Egyptians would bring dishonor upon their enemies by removing their names from published documents and monuments.

For those who are willing to search for these truths as if they were "hidden treasures," it is possible to discover clear evidence of the many signs Yahweh has given us―including the signs of the Jubilee Code (major events that line up along 49 year cycles).  The signs are actually plainly visible―hiding "in plain sight" within the Biblical chronologies, as I have demonstrated on this website. However, there are those who believe that the Jubilee cycles are 50 years instead of 49.  While I can understand why they believe this way, I have to ask the question―can any of them provide evidences in Scripture (and/or secular history) of major events lining up along 50 year cycles, just as I have shown in regard to these 49 year cycles?  Please do not accept just one or two events as sufficient.  We need to see 10 or more events―as the Genesis chronology indicates!!  I doubt if they can, but they are certainly free to try.  (See my Answers to the issue of 49 verses 50 year cycles here.)  Evidently, while scholars disagree on exactly when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are―they are mostly in agreement that the Jubilee cycles are 49 years in length.  "Regarding the length of the cycle, three significant scholarly studies devoted to the Jubilee and Sabbatical years agree that it was 49 years, while disagreeing somewhat on the interpretation of the other issues involved. These major studies were those of Benedict Zuckermann,^[14] Robert North,^[15] and Jean-François Lefebvre.^[16] The reasons given by these authors to support a 49-year cycle are both textual (examining all relevant Biblical texts) and practical."

Regardless of the question of how long or when the cycle was, when you simply put it to the test, and follow the simple math as amply demonstrated here, it is very clear that Yahweh (both in the past and in the present) continues to intervene in this worlds history in clear and unmistakable repeating cycles of 49 years.  To the best of my knowledge, there does not appear to be any significant number of 50 year alignments in support of a 50 year cycle.  In stark contrast, the Genesis chronology reveals at least 10 known alignments just with the Jubilee cycles alone.   And remember, this does not count those alignments that come directly from secular history, such as the captivity era, the temple era (i.e., Daniel 9), the post temple era, the dark ages, and modern times.  There are altogether over 70 alignments with events that line up every seventh year, full seven year periods (in continuous weeks), in the midst of weeks (3½ years), in the 49th years and in the 1st years of Jubilee cycles.   But now the question remains, "can we connect all the dots and construct a reliable chronology from creation to the present, and on into the Millennium yet to come?"  For the answer, please continue reading.

Four Keys to Connecting History

with Bible Chronology

As you can see from our prior investigation, history validates Scripture.  But how can we connect the dots in the chronology of Scripture, and link it with our own time?  Well, having shown how Yahweh works throughout both ancient and modern history in cycles of 7 and 49, it makes our job of connecting the dots a lot easier.  And here is how we can do it:

There are four major keys to connecting Bible chronology with history and, as a result, also discovering the actual year of creation.  Now these are not the only keys, for there are many other minor keys that can also help us. However, these are the major keys that we need to plug into―and they are essential.

Key 1:

The first key to find the actual creation date is to find the true Messiah in Daniel 9. Daniel 9 contains a prophecy concerning 490 years leading to the time of the Messiah's coming, which was about 2000 years ago. More precisely, this prophecy was fulfilled from 457 BCE to 35 CE, with the Messiah crucified in the "midst of the week" (that is, the final week of the 70 week prophecy) in 31 CE. We know that the prophecy begins in 457 because the decree of Artaxerxes was issued in that year, and was soon afterwards carried out by Ezra as he returned to Jerusalem a few months later. For more information on this issue please look at this excerpt from chapter 7 of my book, Discovering the Jewish Messiah. I have also devoted a separate webpage to addressing that same issue,

The Most Crucial Key to Determine Jubilee Years.

The 70 Week prophecy covers 490 years, or 10 Jubilee cycles, from 457 BCE to 35 CE. The Messiah began his ministry in the last week of that prophecy, and was crucified in the midst of the final week.  

Key 2:

Once you find this first key (the Messiah), then you can find the second key (the Jubilees). The Messiah came in connection with a cycle of 490 years, which is actually based upon the Jubilee cycles. 490 years equals exactly 10 Jubilee cycles of 49 years each, with the 50th year being year one of the next cycle. [490 Years is also called a "Grand Jubilee Cycle."] If this 490-year cycle begins in the year 457 BCE, this makes 457 BCE a confirmed year of Jubilee. 132/33 CE is also a confirmed year of Jubilee, as it is connected with the Bar Kochba revolt.  We know that the Bar Kochba revolt started in a Jubilee year because of a rental contract stipulating that the rent would last five fiscal years (starting in year two of the revolt). That would make the seventh year of the revolt a sabbatical year.[1]  In addition, it says the first year was: “On the first of Iyyar, Year 1 of the redemption of Israel by Simeon Bar Kosiba, prince of Israel”[2]  Iyyar is the month which corresponds to April/May. The phrase “Year 1 of the redemption” certainly means the first year of the revolt, but it is also a significant clue clearly indicating another special year—a Jubilee Year.  Based upon the phenomenon of Chronomessianism, the dating of events from “Year 1 of the redemption” clearly places that year in a year of Jubilee.  Chronomessianism is simply the study of chronology as it was expected to align with Jubilee years.  Simply put, in this belief system the Messiah was expected to come in the year of Jubilee.  This was a fairly common understanding of the Jews even 2000 years ago.[3]  Of course, if they had been more careful in their study of Daniel 9, they would have realized that Messiah is "cut off" in the midst of the week leading up to the year of Jubilee.  More information about this key can be found here.

[3]"Chronomessianism, The Timing of Messianic Movements and the Calendar of Sabbatical Cycles," Hebrew Union College Annual 46 (1975), pp. 202-204.

Key 3:

The third key is to realize that the Sabbatical cycles extend even as far back as the time of creation. There is extensive evidence that the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycles began at creation, just as the weekly cycles did. We know this not only because of the obvious parallels between the Sabbatical and weekly cycles, but also because of the extensive alignments between key events (both ancient and modern) and the Jubilee cycles. Based upon my research, the flood ended during a year of Jubilee, Shem and Isaac were born in a year of Jubilee, and the Hebrews were set free from Egyptian bondage during a Jubilee year. Actually, I have found that there are at least 10 confirmed alignments between the Biblical chronologies and the Jubilee cycles. Please go here to find more detailed information pertaining to some of these alignments, or you can take in an overview of the Jubilee Calendar in the

Jubilee Calendar Synopsis

Key 4:

The fourth key is to find the year of the Exodus. If we knew the year of the Exodus, we should be able to trace the Jubilee cycles all the way back to the year of creation―simply because the chronology prior to that date is generally stable, and we also now know (because of the Jubilee code) that the Exodus took place in a year of Jubilee. The problem with Biblical chronology is that after the Exodus, and certainly after the building of Solomon's temple, the chronology of the Hebrew judges and kings becomes severely fragmented and uncertain. To overcome this problem, however, is not so difficult after all. While at this point there is no chronological or historical basis upon which to assign an exact year date to the Exodus, we can determine that date through another method―provided that we can determine the approximate time of the Exodus, and certainly the century in which it occurred.

Here is the first page of the actual Jubilee Calendar, from an Excel file published here on this website.

Please recall from our study of the Amazing Mathematical Alignments and the Jubilee Calendar Synopsis that the exodus actually takes place in a year of Jubilee.  So, we can narrow down the time of the Exodus. As a result, the fourth key can be literally found at the bottom of the Red Sea. Because of the research of amateur archeologist Ron Wyatt, we have conclusive evidence that there really was a Red Sea crossing by the Israelites, and that the Egyptian army was drowned in the Red Sea at the gulf of Aqaba near Nuweiba (not the sea of reeds, as many suppose). At the bottom of the Red Sea, Ron found chariots, chariot wheels, and skeletal remains. The key evidence for us to consider is the 8-spoke chariot wheels that he found. Eight-spoke chariot wheels were only created and used during the 18th Egyptian dynasty.  The 18th dynasty extends from about 1550 BCE to about 1400 BCE, and chariot wheels with 8 spokes were an innovation that were discontinued after about 1400 BCE.  Therefore, the only likely candidate for the pharaoh of the Exodus during that time would be Amenhotep II, whose father Thutmose III died after a reign of 54 years (which is the only reign that allows Moses 40 years exile in Arabia).  Amenhotep II reigned from "1454 BC in the high chronology." till about 22 years later (based upon the examination of his remains, which indicate a man of about 40 years of age).  Amenhotep II began to reign at the age of 18 years, which, when subtracted from the estimated 40 years of age, indicates a total reign of about 22 years.  That places the close estimate for his death (based upon chronological research) about the year 1432 BCE, which would be about four years after the actual time of the Exodus as determined by the Jubilee code (1436 BCE).  Taking into account the Jubilee code, the actual length of his reign would have been 18 years (based upon this chronology), with his death taking place at the time of the exodus.

The 18th dynasty pharaohs reigned from about 1550 to 1400 BCE, but archeological evidence narrows the time down even further, as it finds only one likely candidate for the Pharaoh of the Exodus. That Pharaoh would have had to have been Amenhotep II, and this would have been at the latter half of that dynasty, in the mid 1400's BCE.

FYI ― This is a countdown to the start of the year 6000 as determined by the Jubilee chronology research found on this website.  It is not a countdown to the "Rapture."  Nor is it a countdown to the Messiah's return. We do not know exactly when these events will take place, and certainly not the day or the hour.  When this countdown reaches "zero - zero - zero" don't expect anything specific to happen at that moment, because it most likely will not!  We are already in the season of the end of this age.  When this date is reached we will be very close (within about one year) to the final millennium of the 7000 year period of life on this earth.  It will be ". . . About That Time" and it will be up to the Creator to reveal to His servants the exact day and hour.

Now for a disclaimer:

Please note two important points:

1. I do not claim to know when the world will come to an end. In Scripture, the term "end of the world" really means "end of the age"―meaning a new era will start at that time. By proclaiming the year 2015/16 as the probable 6000th year of history does not mean that it is the end of the world, although I certainly believe that at some time close to that we will enter into a new age of history―which also includes many drastic changes to our current "world order." We are even now experiencing many drastic changes in our lives, and we should expect that these changes will occur exponentially as we approach the year 2015. It will be a "bumpy ride" for the people of earth, and many billions of lives will be lost, but for those who put their trust in Yahweh there will be great blessings in the end.

2. I do not claim to know when the Messiah will return, for such an event is not necessarily dependant upon when the 6000th year is. The coming of the Messiah is certainly close, and the information contained in this website clearly indicates that we are much closer to that event than we could have imagined. However, the Messiah is free to come at the time of His choosing―and it is more likely to be sooner than later. Beyond that it is best not to speculate.

 

What Will Happen to Our Industrial / War Based Economy? According to Scripture, once the kingdom of Israel is exalted to its high position (after the start of the Millennium), and the nations of the world decimated and humbled, many of those that are left of the nations will go up to Jerusalem to learn the ways of Yahweh.  They will put an end to their war based economy and replace it with an agricultural based economy (the one originally given to us in the garden of Eden)―so says the prophet Isaiah: "The word that Isaiah the son of Amos saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of Yahweh’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the Elohim of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." (Isaiah 2:1-4) If anyone still entertains the idea that the current "ruling elite" will continue to rule the world with their heavy handed use of force,  and fascist system of rule, such a view is easily dismissed with this text alone.  That New World Order will simply be a fading memory by then, while the Millennial reign of Messiah will become the only true reality.   Jubilee Countdown Ministries PO Box 2015 Burleson, Texas 76097 www.itsaboutthattime.net/

Most biblical scholars today estimate the date of the Exodus to be 1447 BCE, but the closest Jubilee year to that would be 1437/1436 BCE, which would still fit with the archeological evidence. 1437 would be the year of the plagues, and 1436 BCE (in the spring) would then be the actual year of the Exodus. Since we know from our previous research that the Exodus took place during a year of Jubilee, and since we are able to determine when the Jubilee year for the latter half of the 18th dynasty was, we can, therefore, calculate the Genesis chronology back to the year of creation.

These, then, are the four major keys to finding the year of creation: #1, Use the prophecy of Daniel chapter 9 to determine the timing of the Messiah's first coming. #2, Realize that Daniel 9 is based on the Jubilee cycles. #3, Realize (based upon amazing alignments of key Biblical events) that the Sabbaticals and Jubilee cycles extend from the time of the creation to the time of the Exodus and beyond. And #4, Find the exact year of the Exodus based upon modern archeology (especially because of the 8 spoke chariot wheels found at the bottom of the Red Sea). Find the general timeframe of the Exodus, and since it had to have happened in a year of Jubilee―we then can determine the year of the Exodus. Once we are certain of the year of the Exodus, we can then use the chronological information in the book of Genesis, from creation to the Exodus, and can find the year of creation. And it is that simple!

According to the chronology of Genesis, the Exodus actually took place in the year of Jubilee. There are 1666 years (34 Jubilee cycles) between the creation and the Flood. While the number given in Scripture actually indicates 1656 years, we can rightfully allow for an additional one year for each of the 10 generations prior to the flood. [This is generally in line with typical research methods, as chronologists may sometimes allow for a difference of up to one year in all chronological accounts.  Please reference a more complete explanation regarding this in the article A Newly Revised Bible Chronology, in the "Notes" section.] We know this because the birth of Shem to the year that the flood ended equals 98 years, or two Jubilee cycles (Genesis 11:10). We also know this because the text of Genesis 7:6 when compared with 7:11 shows that prior to the flood they were actually counting their years from the start of the calendar year immediately after their birth. There are 392 years between the flood and the birth of Isaac (8 Jubilee cycles) which, when added to the 98 years is equal to 490 years (what is called a "Grand Jubilee Cycle"). And there are 490 years between the birth of Isaac and the Exodus (another Grand Jubilee Cycle of 10 cycles). Isaac to Jacob = 60 years, and the 430 years of sojourning extending from Jacobs birth to the Exodus. That places the Exodus in a year of Jubilee. Since we know of two confirmed Jubilees (457/456 BCE, based upon the prophecy of Daniel 9 and 132/133 BCE, based upon the Bar Kochba revolt starting in that year) it is simply a matter of tracing Jubilees back from the general time of the Exodus. Since we are certain that the Exodus had to have taken place in the 18th Egyptian dynasty, and in fact during the reign of Amenhotep II, that gives us a precise year for the Exodus―1437/36 BCE. There are 52 Jubilee cycles (34+8+10) of 49 years each prior to the year of the Exodus. 52 X 49 = 2548 years from the creation to the Exodus. 2548 + 1437 = 3985 BCE, which would be the year of creation.

Based upon my extensive research on these Jubilee cycles, I can state with almost complete certainty that 3985 BCE is the year of creation, and 2015 CE will be the beginning of the 6000th year of history (based upon this very-well documented timeline). Assuming that the last millennium begins one year later, the year 2016 CE (on Tishri 1, in the fall) will be the beginning of the last 1000 years. The countdown shown along the sidebar is not to the end of the world (as some have supposed) but to the beginning of the 6000th year, based upon the Jubilee Calendar (the visible crescent, Jerusalem time and ending at sunset). This is about a seven-year countdown from our current date (2008). About one year later, the seventh millennium should begin.

Know the Season

Date Setting―The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

After having reviewed the information above it might begin to dawn on someone that all of this appears to be date setting.  However, what the reader needs to be aware of is that what we have been doing is calendar research.  It just so happens that this calendar research establishes that 3985 BCE is very likely to be the year of creation, and it is commonly believed that after 6000 years of history a 1000 year Messianic kingdom is expected to appear on this earth.  Can I be 100% certain?  Well, no I cannot―because I wasn't there at the time of creation.  However, when you put together all of the mathematical mysteries that we have solved, the Scriptural alignments in the chronologies along 7 and 49 year cycles, the continuous confirmation from archeology, the modern day historical alignments, and the modern day signs from the heavens, it begins to become apparent that Yahweh is actually trying to give us clues to let us know the time of the start of the new Millennium.

But let's talk some more about "date-setting." Over the centuries, there has been a commonly recurring phenomenon among both Jews and Christians which is generally referred to as “Date-Setting.” What this involves is students of the Bible who examine certain texts of Scripture to come up with what they believe to be sound conclusions which can determine when certain last-day events are to take place (such as Armageddon, the Rapture, or the coming of the Messiah). Here we are going to look at the pros and the cons of this and see if we can separate the wheat from the chaff.

The Good: First of all, let me point out that while it is generally believed that “Date-Setting” is categorically wrong, we are going to discover in our search of Scripture that such an extreme view is actually in error. If we wish to be technical, only Yahweh can set dates—all we can do, as fallible human beings, is to search out the Scriptures in hopes of solving the various riddles He places in His Word―riddles intended to reveal to the observant the actual date for certain events to occur. “It is the glory of the Almighty to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.” (Proverbs 25:2) While it is true, for example, that “no one knows the day or the hour” of Messiah’s return, that does not mean we should not, or cannot, know the general “season” of his coming. And in regard to the general concept of Date-Setting itself, there are many examples from the Bible where “Date-Setting” is not only permitted, but is clearly being both taught and used by several exemplary prophets, kings, and the people of Israel themselves.

The Bad: Second of all, the other key problem with some more modern examples of “Date-Setting” is that they generally are based upon a faulty understanding of Scripture. If one were to establish a precise date for certain end-time events to take place, one would be expected to at least “do their homework.” Sadly, all of them (it seems) have failed to do this—a select few earning “B’s”, others earning “C’s”, and most scoring “F’s”—all because they did not make a thorough study of Yahweh’s Word before sharing with others the result of their studies. If someone is so sure of their research that they can predict exactly when certain end-time events are going to take place, they need to score “100%,” since anything less will result in dismal failure.

The Ugly: Thirdly, when people begin setting dates for certain end-time events to take place (and the time passes with no results), this tends to discourage the people who followed that persons teachings. The result of this can be very ugly, as many of these either become discouraged with faith in Yahweh or else are led into even more extreme forms of cultic beliefs and practices. Suicide, depression, and other forms of psychotic behavior are commonly associated with such “disappointments.”

What is the bottom line? The bottom line is this: Yahweh has (on the one hand) warned us that we are not going to know the exact day or hour of Messiah’s return. However, on the other hand there is sufficient evidence in Scripture that from time to time He has placed in his Word specific clues by which it is possible that some might be privileged (or cursed, depending upon your perspective) with an understanding of the general timeframe of when certain end-time events should take place, or possibly even exact dates. At or just before the appointed time, Yahweh often enlists men and women, filling them with his spirit, and encouraging them to seek out these mysteries hidden from general view for several thousands of years.

We should be careful in regards to the issue of date-setting. However, we should also leave a small crack in the door to allow for the remote possibility that someone might indeed discover the timing of certain Scriptural predictions. We should be aware that in many places of Scripture date-setting is not only allowed, but it is exalted as a natural by-product of Bible study, especially prophecies in Scripture involving time (provided that it is based upon sound Biblical exegesis).

What I am doing here on this website is calendar research.  I give what I believe to be the most likely year in which the new Millennium will start―which is really not date setting.  In regard to the issue of date setting in general, in both Daniel and Revelation there are numerous time prophecies which, if the correct starting dates were known, it is possible that someone could correctly determine the approximate ending dates—at least, theoretically. For instance, in Daniel 9:24 a prediction is given of when the Messiah would come, and that prophecy involved 70 weeks of years and was fulfilled exactly as given―such that it is possible someone could have figured it all out and would have been ready for the Messiah's first coming. If it were not true, then why would there be so many Bible prophecies connected with time?  So, while I also urge caution regarding anyone who sets dates for certain Biblical events to occur—we have to at least leave some latitude since it is entirely possible that they could be correct.  Remember, while it is not easy to solve the riddles of the timeline of man, Yahweh promises us that if we seek diligently we will find the answers we are searching for:

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.  (Matthew 7:7-8)

The Messianic Writings (i.e., New Testament) seem to reveal that the righteous will not be in ignorance in the day of Messiah's coming, but instead they will know―it is the wicked that will be in darkness. Please notice how this text, commonly used to condemn date setting, actually leaves the door wide open for that very thing:

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.  (Matthew 24:36)

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. (Matthew 24:42)

Please notice that in verse 36 we are told that men (in general) cannot know the day and the hour of the Messiah's coming.  However, when he speaks more directly to his disciples he tells them to watch, because they do not know the hour of his coming.  Why did he leave out the word "day" in this last text?  Is he suggesting that the righteous might be able to know more concerning the timing of his return than the wicked?  Well, in the next verse he plainly says that very thing:

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.  (Matthew 24:43)

These texts very plainly suggest that the righteous can know the general timeframe of his coming.  It starts by saying that men in general cannot know the day or the hour, but then reveals that it is the wicked that really did not know (in contrast to the righteous―for example, Noah and his family).  Look at it more closely:

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matthew 24:36-39)

Yes, we do not know the day or the hour―but before the time arrived, Noah and his family knew when it was time to enter the ark.  And while it may be argued that someone like myself is not a true "scholar," nor considered a Bible "expert," and that this somehow disqualifies me from being able to learn and ultimately teach these secrets of the calendar, we must consider that the disciples were simple fishermen, and likewise Noah also was not a great man of the earth either.  When he was building his boat, he was probably scoffed at and derided by the people who knew something regarding what he was doing, including his belief that the world would soon be destroyed by a flood and even a specific time for that event when Yahweh tells him "yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."  (Genesis 6:3)

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 24:42-44)

Please notice that it is the "goodman of the house" that knows the approximate time (“what watch”) in which the thief would come, just as Noah and his family knew at what time to enter the ark of safety. I submit to you that it is the wicked that do not know the times and the seasons, as opposed to the righteous. So, just because we cannot know the exact day or hour of the Messiah’s return, it does not mean Yahweh wants us to be ignorant of the “season” in which that event (and others) will take place. Please take note of what it says of the “times and the seasons” in 1 Thessalonians:

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. (1 Thessalonians 5:1-7)

Yes, the Messiah will come “as a thief in the night”—but only for the wicked! It is the wicked that will be surprised by the events taking place, not the righteous. Since the righteous are “not in darkness,” does that mean we are to remain in ignorance regarding the “times and the seasons?” No, the righteous will not be ignorant of the times and the seasons—for unlike the wicked, we are not living in darkness. The righteous, therefore, can be expected to know (at the very least) the season in which these events will take place.

Look closely at the evidence uncovered in this website, compare it with the Scriptures, compare it with all the available historical accounts. Just Do the Math!, and you will find as many others have that the time is at hand!

The Jubilee Principle

Freedom and Greatness Come Through Giving

The Bible speaks of the observance of Jubilees in Leviticus 25. Does that apply to us today? There are those that take the position that since we are no longer living in the land of Israel, we are also not subject to the laws regarding Jubilees. However, while it is true that Jubilees primarily is concerned with people who own farmland, the principles still apply to us today. In fact, if the foundation principle of the Jubilees were kept today we would have a thriving economy, poverty would be eliminated, and
the rich and powerful would no longer hold the average person hostage to economic terrorism!

Some will say that the observance of the Jubilees “doesn’t affect our personal lives in this day and age,” and they are only partly correct. Not observing the Jubilees does affect us today—for most of the world (including those living in the United States) are in economic slavery because of the fact that the Jubilees are not being observed. The commandment regarding the keeping of the Jubilees mentions twice that we are not to oppress one another—which clearly indicates that not observing Jubilees will indeed lead to that very thing!

It is amazing to me that I hear so many arguments against the keeping of the Jubilees, or the Sabbaticals, or the weekly Sabbaths, or the Torah in general, and yet it is these very observances which have the power to completely restore our economy to a thriving, healthy, economy—where everyone benefits and is blessed (whether rich or poor). Yes, there is the issue of just when exactly the Jubilee years are—but let’s put aside that issue for now and consider the words of Yahushua our Messiah.  The Messiah said it himself when he said:

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (Luke 6:38)

That is the Jubilee principle in a nutshell—give and we will receive. Believe it or not, this is not just something Messiah came up with on his own, but is based upon the Torah (Leviticus 19:18, Zechariah 8:17), which teaches us how we are to "love your neighbor" and "not imagine evil in our heart" against your neighbor.  Would it be beneficial for us to cancel the debts of our neighbors (whether financial or spiritual) who are struggling just to survive?  Abolish all debts on every year of Jubilee, and look at the blessings which will be returned to us!

We live in an evil world, where rich and powerful men seek to gain even more riches and power—through manipulation of the means of wealth. First, they create an industrial war based economy, where the people are enticed to leave the family farm in search of great wealth in the cities. Second, they manipulate the financial markets to steer the wealth into their own coffers, while forcing the now landless serfs to work even greater hours to keep up with the new (but artificial) standard of living. Third, they seek to control every aspect of our lives, by forcing us into a mostly service based economy which requires us to pay exorbitant prices for almost every conceivable service [such as that provided by the pharmaceutical and petro-chemical industries] which (to a large extent) we really do not need, or that we could provide for ourselves and at little cost [key examples would include housing, clothing, energy, health care, clean water, and food―all of which could be made available locally on our own land through natural means, and at very low cost].  Fourth, they change the laws such that we are no longer free and independent, but subject to the corporate and political agenda of the ruling party. And finally, when the people are exhausted and without warning their leaders bring upon them a crisis (false flag terrorism, financial collapse, and/or pandemic scare) which forces them to surrender not only the remainder of their wealth, but also their very freedom, to the ruling elite. By that time, such a nation is no longer a free nation, but instead is a fascist nation. Are we there yet?

In escaping from the tyranny often found in Europe, our forefathers were able to find at least some semblance of freedom in the wide open spaces of this new frontier. But now, unlike our forefathers, we have nowhere to go. Those glory days are now gone. In our technological based world “Big Brother” is indeed watching us—for the simple reason that they have the technology to do it.  History is now being re-written almost as quickly as it is being unfolded―yet few take notice! And since the human condition has not changed, evil men will always use the technology available to them to spy on and steal from their neighbor. Many of these have also fooled themselves into thinking “the ends justify the means,” however, this is simply not true. Messiah says to follow the “golden rule” and men pervert this into the cliché that “he who owns the gold makes the rules.”

What would happen if we even implemented some of the principles of the Jubilee? What if we applied the simple principle given by both the Torah and Messiah to "love our neighbor as ourselves?" What would happen if we were to cancel all debts, both foreign and domestic, in the year of Jubilee? What if the land were returned to its original owners? Would it destroy our economy? Would the corporations flounder and fail? Would our governments collapse?  And if these things happened, would that be such a bad thing?  [Now, in case you are wondering, it is not for me to implement this change, for the Messiah will do it when he returns to redeem his precious children.]

Those who exact their rule over others, forcing them into economic and political slavery, do so to their own harm. As it is done to others, it will be done to us. By giving we receive in even greater abundance—whether it is good or evil. Just remember, there is a payday someday—and, based upon the Jubilee Code, that day is fast approaching.

Freedom and liberty is the true focal point of the Jubilee message, as well as the message of the whole of Scripture. Moses declared this when the children of Israel embarked on that great exodus from Egypt, and the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 11:11-13) says that an even far greater exodus is coming soon—for those who embrace the true spirit and principles of the Jubilees.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that Adonai shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left from Assyria and from Egypt,  and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.  (Isaiah 11:11-13)
