A jubilee consists of 49 years. 70 jubilees equals to 3430 years ( 70 X 49 ). Exodus took place on the Passover in 1446 BC. They arrived at mount Sinai in the third month. Since then, they stayed at mount Sinai for one year. Numbers 10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony. 12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. They departed Mount Sinai in the second year which is 1445 BC, on the twentieth day of the second month. Numbers 13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them. The spies except Caleb and Joshua came back with the doom and gloom report. Because of their disbelief and little faith in God that God would deliver the land to them, God punished them by leaving them in wilderness for 40 years. Adding 40 years to 1445 BC, we come to 1405 BC. In 1405 BC, God’s forty years of punishment was over. This is the year Israelis entered the promised land. Here's the part I missed last time. Leviticus 25:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. God commanded Israelis when they came into the land, they should keep the land a sabbath unto Him. Every 7 years there is a sabbatical year. The sabbath Israelis needed to keep is one year. Adding one year to 1405 BC, we come to 1404 BC. This is the year 70 jubilees began. To be more precise, they entered the land on Nisan 14 ( Joshua 5:10). Adding 3430 years to Nisan 14 1404 BC, we come to Nisan 14 2026. But because there is no 0 in AD, we have to add one year to 2026 which gives us Nisan 14 2027 AD. By Nisan 14 2027 AD, the counting of 70 jubilees cycles shall be over. 2027 is the end of 70 X 49 years cycle. Leviticus 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. The fiftieth year is 2028 ( adding one year to 2027 ). 2028 is the year of jubilee (70th jubilee). If Jesus comes back on Nisan 14 2028 in the year of jubilee, subtracting 7 tribulation years (2520 days) from Nisan 14 2028, we come to the spring of 2021 as the beginning of tribulation and rapture. This calculation is extremely close to my calculation of 430 years iniquity of Israel and Judah. They both point to March/April 2028 as the end of iniquity of Israel and Judah, and the end of 70 jubilees cycle, with 2028 being the year of the 70th jubilee. Subtracting 2520 days from Nisan 14 2028, we come to on or around the Pentecost in May 2021 as the day for rapture and tribulation to begin. Leviticus 25:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. 3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; 4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. They came to the promised land on Nisan 14 1405 BC. God told them to leave the land alone, and kept the land a sabbath. This means cultivation of the land was forbidden until next year 1404 BC. In 1404 BC cultivation started, the jubilees cycles began. This is why I placed the beginning of 70 jubilees in 1404 BC, especially on Nisan 14 the anniversary they entered the promised land. Some Christians believe there is a gap theory between rapture and 7 years tribulation. Below is my response. Regarding the gap theory, people believe the tribulation begins when AC confirms the covenant with many for 7 years. What if AC never comes forward to confirm the covenant? It means the last week can never proceed. It shall be put off indefinitely by AC. It also gives him the power to control the timing of 7 years,that is, when it should begin, hence he stripes away the power from God. And what if he confirms the covenant for 10 years, 30 years, or even 50 years. Will that ridicule God's statement and puts God as a liar when He says there is only one week left to be fulfilled? Also, the covenant is an existing covenant between God and the ancestors of Israel, and in this case, Abrahamic covenant concerning the ownership of the land. When he confirms this covenant, he cannot place a time limit to this covenant. Either they agree Israelis is the rightful owner of the land, or they don't agree. They cannot say they only recognize Israel has the custody of the land for 7 years. Do we really think Israel will accept this term? Of course not. There is no length of time involved in confirming this covenant. And the covenant is not any peace treaty created by AC. In Hebrew context, and many others, covenant has never been translated into a peace treaty. And the word "peace" is absent from Hebrew original version. And in some versions, including my language version, the translation is " He shall confirm the covenant with many within one week". And one week shall establish the covenant with many And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week And he hath strengthened a covenant with many -- one week The word "for" is not in the original Hebrew context. It is added. The original context reads as below. confirm, a covenant, many, week, one. , The correct interpretation is "he shall confirm the covenant inside the one week". It is because God was telling Daniel what events would happen during the last week. "for one week" is a wrong interpretation. By taking the gap theory away, God has the control of when the last week begins, that is, it begins at the time He calls the church home. And since not even Satan knows the timing of the rapture, God has the absolute control of when the last week begins, not Satan, nor Anti Christ. 2ndcoming: Brother, may I please you, politely, humbly, and respectfully this one question? ... Why, when most of us here at this particular forum are looking for a SOON Rapture (and even sooner if possible), do you persist in diminishing our hopes, sucking the wind from our sails, and punishing our faith that the Rapture could occur at any moment? I understand that we could all be wrong, and that you could be correct with your spring 2021 Rapture calculations, but why can't you hold that up your sleeve for now, conceal it for until we pass through 2020, and come out with this next year? Sincerely, I am baffled and would really like to know. Thanks, Humbly Leviticus 25:9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; In the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year. When I used Nisan 14 as the anniversary of these 70 jubilees, I guess I was wrong. God uses Tishri 10 as the anniversary, not Nisan 14. God commands to hallow the fiftieth year beginning from Tishri 10. Below is the new calculation. 1404 BC Tishri 10 to 1403 BC Tishri 10 1st year 1403 BC Tishri 10 to 1402 BC Tishri 10 2nd year 1402 BC Tishri 10 to 1401 BC Tishri 10 3rd year 1356 BC Tishri 10 to 1355 BC Tishri 10 49th year Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, which is Tishri 10 1355 BC. Beginning from Tishri 10 1355 BC, is the fiftieth year. It runs from 1355 BC Tishri 10 to 1354 BC Tishri 10. This is also the first jubilee. 1355 BC Tishri 10 to 1354 BC Tishri 10 is also the first year of the next 49 years cycles. 1355 BC Tishri 10 to 1354 BC Tishri 10 is the fiftieth year, also known as the 1st jubilee. This is also the first year of the next 49 years cycles. When we go by this sequence, 2026 Tishri 10 to 2027 Tishri 10 is the last year of these 3430 years cycle. On Tishri 10 in 2027, a trumpet shall be blown to declare this is the beginning of the fiftieth year, the 70th jubilee. 70th jubilee runs from Tishri 10 2027 to Tishri 10 2028. If Jesus comes back in the 70th jubilee, it places his second coming between Tishri 10 2027 to Tishri 10 2028. 2ndcoming: Again, you can put forth all kinds of calculations, postulations, guestimations, etc. But, again, WHY do you persist in raining on our parade at this "imminent" belief forum? What is your expected outcome? What is your agenda? If you believe we are kooks and absolutely missing the point, then WHY do you continue to frequent this locality? There are many other forums you could go to that wouldn't frustrate you as much as we do here with our pitiful belief in an imminent Rapture this year. You could go elsewhere where they are looking far ahead instead of right now. Maybe you can answer this question without all the fluff and puff. Thanks, Humbly I am not saying "thus said the Lord", rapture has to happen in spring 2021. I just did it with my calculation of 70 jubilees, and 430 years iniquity of Israel and Judah. And don't forget the 80 years in Psalm 90. Up to now, 2028 seems to be the most likely year for the second advent to take place. it is because Jesus says at the time of rapture, people shall drink, eat, giving in marriage. They live their lives as business as usual. This pandemic forbids us to do that. I have also read some reports from scientists in Italy that this virus is losing it's damaging effect and power on human. If this is true, by next year, this pandemic may become a regular flu. In this case, a complete lock down on all the cities are lifted. We can resume our eating, drinking in public places, which includes marriage and giving in marriage. I believe if it is not the vaccine to save us from this ordeal, Jesus shall make this virus less harming on us, turns it into a regular flu by next year. But this spring for rapture is not likely because we only have one month left for this miracle to happen. I doubt if the virus will lose it's power in one month. Remember, eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage is the normalcy when rapture happens. I have already replied to your question from my last post. I believe according to what Jesus says, rapture shall take place at the time of normalcy persists on earth. With the pandemic which is still growing in many countries, I don't see 2020 is the year for rapture. I also believe a war shall erupt between Israel and her neighbors prior to rapture. This is the last warning from God to the world. Remember God shall give warning before He pours the judgment on people and earth. He did that with Noah and Lot, gave them heads up before the flood and the fire and brimstone in Gomorrah. The soon to happen war against Israel is the heads up and warning from God. God is just and fair, so that no one can accuse God for not giving them warning. Okay 2ndcoming, I'll let you be due to the fact that you refuse to answer a simple question. You've stated that this is "My final conclusion", so let that be your final conclusion. You have no hope for 2020 -- only for 2021. So go your way and let's wait until next year to see if your "final conclusion" is correct. If so, I'll provide you with a public apology. In the meantime, there is no reason for you to continue to persist in stealing our hope. Still YBIC, but we will need to agree to disagree. Humbly
