Most Bible scholars go with 1406 BC for the year they entered the Promised Land. I haven't found any that have said 1405 BC. Not saying you are wrong, of course, but a lot of scholars don't agree with you. Sometimes, the majority is wrong, though. Whatever the case, we shall see. :good: 1446 is the first year. 1445 is the second year. 1444 is the third year. ...1406 is the 41st year. I think 40 years in the wilderness makes sense. Not 41. 40 is the number of testing. The Israelites were certainly tested before they arrived at Mount Sinai. The 41st year was 1406 and they celebrated passover in the Promised Land. That was when the first Jubilee began. Perfectly reasonable assumptions, I would think. I have a long debate with a member from RITAN facebook who seems having difficulty understand the jubilee cycles being 49 years. But good thing comes out of it. I have finally understood what God says in Leviticus 25:18-22. The 50th year overlaps with the first year in the 49 years cycle. Jubilee cycle is 49 years, not 50 years. God confirms it in Leviticus 25:18-22. When I have time, I shall share my thought here. Now I am thinking Israelis left Egypt in 1445 BC, not 1446 BC. 1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD. In the fourth year of Solomon's reign, which is 966 BC. That year was also the 480th year since they left Egypt. If we do the counting by this, 966 BC is the 1st year, 967 BC is the 2nd year, 968 BC the 3rd year, we come to 1445 BC as the 480th year, not 1446 BC. In 1445 BC, they left Egypt, and stayed in mount Sinai for one year. They departed from Mount Sinai in the following year 1444 BC. God punished them and left them in wilderness for 40 years. 40 years come to 1404 BC. This is the year they entered the promised land. But God commanded them to keep the land sabbath for one year. It was in 1403 BC they began the cultivation on the land. Since the jubilee is God's commandment of how they should manage the land, and release the captive, 1403 BC is the first year of 70 jubilees. The counting method is listed below. 1403 BC 1st year, 1402 BC the 2nd year, 1401 BC the 3rd year,....1355 BC 49th year ( trumpet is blown on day of atonement in this year), with 1354 BC the 50th year which is also the year of jubilee, the first jubilee. Sowing and planting is not allowed in this year. 1354 BC is also the first year of the next 49 years cycle. When we continue this counting, 2027 AD is the 49th year of the 70 jubilee cycles. Trumpet shall be blown on Tishri 10 in this year, which hallows the 50th year. The 50th year is 2028 AD, the 70th jubilee. I hope Jesus shall return in 2028 AD, during the 70th jubilee. I use 2021 to 2028 timeline, I just found a very interesting scenario. 2021 + 2028 = 4049 Now, from my recent post "Where are we now from Adam?", I have calculated when Israelis left Egypt, this event took place in year 2538 from the creation of Adam. 2538 also happens to be 1445 BC in our calendar. Here's the math to find out the year of 4049 in our history. 4049 - 2538 = 1511 years Adding 1511 years to 1445 BC, we come to year 67 AD. In other words, the year 4049 (since the creation of Adam) came to 67 AD. What happened in 67 AD? This was the year the first Jewish - Roman war broke out. And few years later, in 70 AD, the city Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman. Below is a very interesting timeline. 2021 corresponds to 67 AD Jewish - Roman war broke out 2022 corresponds to 68 AD 2023 corresponds to 69 AD 2024 corresponds to 70 AD Destruction of Jerusalem 2024 is the mid-trib of this timeline 2021-2028. This is the time of Jacob's trouble and destruction of Jerusalem 2025 corresponds to 71 AD 2026 corresponds to 72 AD 2027 corresponds to 73 AD 2028 corresponds to 74 AD The adversary of Jerusalem is over Between 70 AD and 74 AD, there were few more minor battles. Quote from wikipedia [Following the fall of Jerusalem, in the year 71 Titus left for Rome, leaving Legion X Fretensis to defeat the remaining Jewish strongholds including Herodium and Machaerus, finalizing the Roman campaign in Masada in 73–74. ] End of quote Adding 2021 and 2028, use the number 4049, and count the year 4049 from the first human history ( Adam), we come to 67 AD. Between 67 AD and 74 AD, which corresponds to 2021 to 2028, the world witnessed the destruction of Jerusalem, with the climax happened in 70 AD, which corresponds to our mid-trib 2024. This is why I found the timeline of 2021 to 2028 is fascinating. Interesting. Well, whatever the case, it would seem that we have less than 1 1/2 years on this earth. By the way, the First Jewish Revolt started in 66 AD and not 67 AD. Praying no longer, but rather sooner! TR ".....but hey what’s another year in the sea of eternity." To some, the frail line of hope under their current circumstances is dashed to think they will have to endure another year, or two, or more. We are to encourage on another, not dash their hope. Analytics can be bitter cold to those who are crying out day and night for the Lord to return. While I'm all for postulating timelines, I believe we should be sensitive to those around us. Well said Yohanan! Adding that mercy goes a long ways! TR
