That article says they expect Messiah after the Shemittah year? And next year is the Shemittah year? Tell me I didn't read it correctly! We have one more year? Well, these Jewish people (that are sadly not saved at the moment) are quoting the Talmud to say that. The Talmud has about as much authority as a pile of mud. 😉 But I do think it will be a great wake up call for many Jewish people when the Rapture happens. There will be 144,002 at the very start, at least. Perhaps it will tie in with a Shemittah year? It seems to me that the false Messiah will be planned for when they expect him to arrive...after the coming year. But maybe they will have to change plans quickly after the rapture and the miracle of the G/M war. Yes. The one they are waiting for is tragically the anti-messiah. 🙁 However, when the anti-messiah shows up, the Real Messiah will have already taken us up. :flyup: So, the Shemittah year could be meaningful. I saw a comment on a youtube where if you add 5782 years plus 210 years for Israel's time in Egypt plus 7 year tribulation, you get 5999 years. The next day starts the 6000th year. Do you think that is how it will be? Or do you think 6000 years need to be complete? How correct do you think their year count is? Weren't they in Egypt for 400+ years? Not sure where they get 210 from. The Jewish year count was corrupted in the first few centuries AD. Since the Jewish intellectual elite rejected Jesus, they had a real problem with the 70 weeks prophecy by Daniel which points clearly to Jesus. Their solution was to try to say that the time between the destruction of the first and second temples was 490 years. However, the first temple was destroyed in 586 BC and the second in 70 AD. This was 655 years. Therefore, the Jewish calendar is out at least 165 years, for starters. Apparently there has been argument on this. More wait and see on the timing. That's a very interesting article. Thanks! I am sure there is something to this. Alas, I am tired and need to sleep. Will muse upon this. After some musing it occured to me that if Jesus was born on September 11, 3 BC (as a significant number of scholars believe) then perhaps he came in the Earth's 4,000th year. So creation would be in 4003 BC. Suppose Adam sinned when he was age 30? That's the biblical age when one could become a priest. Perhaps God allowed Adam to mature mentally and emotionally before facing temptation? The second/last Adam (Jesus) waited until He was 30 years old to start His ministry and then almost immediately faced tempation. So, maybe there is a correlation there? That would be 3973 BC. 3973 + 2021 -1 (for no year zero) = 5993 years. Add 7 years of Tribulation and you arrive at 6000 years. So perhaps this year... :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: ???? Thanks so much for your musing! I love it!
