1. An Exodus in 1312 is followed by Jubilees in 1258 (14^th year after crossing the Jordon). This supports the rabbinical view that Jubilees were 14 years after Jeru-salem was burned (Ezek. 40:1), 14 years after Cyrus’ decree to rebuild the temple, and the Bar Kochba revolt being 14 years after 118 AD.

However, several events were counted from the entry in 1272. 972 is Jephthah’s 300^th year men-tioned in Judges 11:26, 180 years before the temple (I Kings 6:1). 872 is David’s first year. 49-yr Jubilees allegedly occur after

the temple burned in 422. The cycle ends in 132. So373 (372) is Cyrus’ decree.

The Bar Kochba revolt against Roman occupiers was allegedly 490 yrs + 14 after 373 BC, after Cyrus’ decree (132=98 yrs after 34 AD and 63 years after 69 AD).

2. An Exodus in 1255 is counted backwards prior to 422 BC. Jubilees are in 1010 (David’s first year), 961 (Solomon’s 12^th year), & 520 BC (when 2^nd temple was founded). Sabbaticals are in 562, 457, 163, 135, 37 BC, 2015 AD.

James Ussher’s Jubilees were in 563 and 514 BC. Sabbaticals were in 710,

Rabbinical Sabbaticals:
2510 AM / 1250 BC
4936 AM / 1175 AD
4955 AM / 1195 AD
5327 AM / 1567 AD
5525 AM / 1765 AD
5649 AM / 1889 AD

591, 584 and 514.
Early on, the Messiah was ex-pected to come (or return) dur-ing the last seven years of a jubilee cycle, most likely in year one. This would explain the fervor in 27-34 AD, 69-70 AD and in 132 AD.

2029 AD (67^th jubilee) is:

2000 yrs after 29 AD (40 x 50), 1960 yrs after 69 AD (40 x 49).
