God’s Plan Includes There are dozens of examples that prove
sabbaticals and jubilees are closely related to prophecy and God’s over-all
plan. It is unlikely that “the time of the end” will be understood without
them. Judah
went into captivity for ten sabbaticals because they were forgotten (II Chr.
36:21, 22). Are
they still forgotten? Can it be known when the sabbaticals are? We first need
to know there was a cycle that began with Creation. · There was another cycle that began with Joshua crossing the
Jordan. If Jerusalem fell at the end of a sabbatical year
(Jer. 34) and if Cyrus captured Babylon 49 years later, perhaps this will
help us understand the fall of Babylon the Great in Revelation 18. This
cycle began after Joshua crossed the Jordan. · The following are
examples of sabbat-icals that began with Creation. The year that Herod
captured Jerusalem and became King over the Jews in 37 BC is very important
in understanding the Hebrew calendar and sabbaticals. (Revelation 12 mentions
“the dragon” that tried to kill the Christ-child after he was born.) Herod
captured Jerusalem 196 19-year cycles after Creation in 3761 BC according to
the Jewish calendar. · This means there were also 19 196-year cycles. Why is
this so important? Because from the Jewish Creation down to when Herod
captured Jerusalem, there were 19 times four jubilees, and four
jubilees are 28 sabbaticals. Is
there actual proof that 37 BC was a sabbatical? Josephus, a first century
Levite scholar said Herod captured Jerusalem in a sabbatical year. This was
in 37 BC, 3724 years after 3761. These 3724 years are also 532 sabbaticals
and seven cycles of 532 years each. 532 years are 28 19-year cycles. The two
cycles allow the same dates to repeat after each cycle. |
These 19-year and 7-year cycles did not begin after
Joshua crossed the Jordan. · Is the Hebrew calendar
accurate? An eclipse on NASA’s solar eclipse calendar occurred on
March 21, 71 AD. Solar eclipses are during a new moon. March 20, 71 AD was
the first day of the first new moon in 71 AD. It was on Nisan 1 on the Hebrew
calendar. Thus, both calendars aligned 2,000 years ago. They are still aligned in April 14, 2014 AD, called Nisan
14 (Passover) on the Hebrew calendar. NASA’s lunar eclipse calendar agrees
there will be a lunar eclipse on April 15, 2014 AD, during a full moon. · Dozens of other examples
could be cited, such as the date Solomon founded the temple 427
sabbaticals after 3957 BC, which is likely the restored date of Creation,
196 years before 3761. The Jewish chronology subtracted 196 years,
60 between Abraham and his father and 136 after the temple (should be 968 BC,
not 832 BC). The second temple was founded one jubilee after Nebuchednezzar became
a wild beast for seven years, 34 sabbaticals (569-331= 238 years) before
Alexander. Alexander allowed the Jews to observe their land rest six jubilees
before Herod conquered Jerusalem. Jerusalem burned at the end of the 15th
sabbatical after 37 BC, and the Bar Kochba revolt against Roman “occupiers”
was nine sabbaticals after that. Again, this cycle from 968 to 37 BC did not begin after
Joshua crossed the Jordan.
· When is the next
sabbatical? 2022 AD is 49 jubilees after Herod conquered Jerusalem, and 427
sabbaticals after Solomon’s temple. 2015 AD is the next sabbatical.
Why study sabbaticals and jubilees? The above evidence shows
they are an integral part of God’s over-all master plan and may help us
understand the time of the end. Floyd R. Cox |
