The Jubilee Code in Ancient Times
In the last section we found that Yahweh has used the pattern of the 7 days of creation to establish a larger pattern of 7000 years of history. This concept has been acknowledged by both Jewish and Christian leaders over the past 3000 years. Here we are going to look at how that same pattern is laid out in the chronological history of the patriarchs, but this time using 7 and 49 year cycles.

What Are the Odds?
After having reviewed the Jubilee Calendar Synopsis, it might be appropriate to consider these important 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 . . .
The Lifespan of Adam Lines Up
What are the odds that the lifespan of Adam would line up with exactly 19 Jubilee cycles?
|
Genesis 5:5 says that Adam lived 930 years, then he died. What many people do not realize is that when anyone lives a certain amount of years and are said to have died at age X it does not necessarily mean that they died in the year X of their life. Adam did not live exactly 930 years, he lived 930 years plus some untold number of months. That means he died in the year 931 of the Creation Date. |
From Birth of Shem to End of Flood
What are the odds that Shem would be born exactly 2 Jubilee cycles before the end of the great universal flood?
|
|
From End of Flood to Birth of Isaac
What are the odds that Isaac would be born exactly 8 Jubilee cycles after the end of the flood?
|
The Biblical text of the chronology from the end of the flood to the birth of Isaac indicates a period of 392 years. |
From Start of Flood to Fall of Sodom
What are the odds that Sodom and Gomorrah would be destroyed exactly 8 Jubilee cycles after the start of the flood?
|
The Biblical text of the chronology from the start of the flood to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is 392 years, coming one year before Isaac is born. |
From Isaac to End of Seven Year Famine
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?
|
Scripture says plainly that there are 60 years between the birth of Isaac and the birth of his son Jacob (Genesis 25:6, 47:9). From the birth of Jacob to the 2nd year of the famine in Egypt is 130 years (Genesis 40:29-30 and 47:9), for a total of 190 years. The famine lasted 7 years, so you add 5 more years of famine to total 5 + 130 + 60 and you get 195. Since Isaac was born on a year of Jubilee, you would add 1 more year to allow for the year of Jubilee and it comes to a total of 196 years. Since this figure is divisible by 49, then it becomes abundantly clear that the 7 years of plenty and 7 years of famine are in perfect alignment with the Sabbatical cycles. (Here is a new chart showing exactly how several events in the life of Jacob line up perfectly with Sabbatical cycles.) |
What are the odds that the seven years of famine in Egypt would be completed just before the start of another Jubilee year?
|
|
From Birth of Isaac to Exodus
What are the odds that the Exodus would take place exactly 490 years (or 10 Jubilee cycles) after the birth of Isaac?
|
Exodus 12:40-41 states that the children of Israel "sojourned" for 430 years prior to the date of the Exodus. Some ancient texts even plainly state that the 430 years applies to the stay of Israel in both the land of Egypt and Canaan: "The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Septuagint add the words 'and in the land of Canaan' after 'Egypt.'" (The Hebrew/Greek Key Study Bible, World Bible Publishers, p. 95.) If this is true, then this would have to be 430 years in which the children of Israel live including the date of the birth of their father, Jacob, later named Israel. The 430 years would, under this model, begin with the birth of Israel himself!! We have conclusive evidence that the Exodus had to have taken place sometime during the 18th Egyptian dynasty, between 1550 and 1400 BCE. So, if we take the 430 years to indicate the actual lifespan of Jacob (later named Israel, whose children were vicariously present within his "loins"), then by starting the calculation of the 430 years at this date it brings us to the Exodus in the year of Jubilee!! 2119 CD + 430 = 2549 CD, or 1437/36 BCE!! Jacob was born 60 years after Isaac (Genesis 25:26). Having determined this we can now also find another important alignment. The elapsed time between the birth of Isaac and the Exodus is exactly 10 Jubilees in length, (60 + 430 = 490)—the same number of Jubilees as in the 70 week prophecy of Daniel 9!! |
From Exodus to First Temple
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?
|
1 Kings 6:1 states the temple was begun 480 years after the exodus. Seven years later, in the year 487, it was completed (1 Kings 6:37-38). Since 10 Jubilee cycles is equal to 490 years, that places the completion of the first temple in "the midst of the week" - the seventh week of the 10th Jubilee cycle from the time of the Exodus. While we don't have a definite date, it is possible that the temple was dedicated on or just before a year of Jubilee. |
From Decree of Artaxerxes to Messiah
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?
|
10 Jubilee cycles is equal to 490 years, and the prophecy of Daniel 9 puts the time that the "offering and oblation" would be caused to cease in the midst of that last week (the year 487). That places the crucifixion of Messiah in "the midst of the week," the seventh week of the 10th Jubilee cycle from the time of the decree of Artaxerxes being carried out by Ezra in Jerusalem. We have historical confirmation of the date that the prophecy began (457 BCE) and the date this final week began (27 CE). We can also be fairly certain of the date of the crucifixion based upon a Wednesday crucifixion in 31 CE (i.e., "the midst of the week"). |
