That's a possibility, too. In that case, that would mean Yeshua started His ministry in 28 AD. When He read from the scroll of Isaiah, chapter 61, perhaps He was proclaiming a Jubilee year. I hate the waiting to find out. Yeah, are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Lol. Would be nice to be today. Then I wouldn't have to do house cleaning. ? Jubilee cycles are 49 years long. The "50th" year celebration is halfway into the first year of the next cycle. Jubilee cycles not 50 years long. So what cycle are we in, and when's the next celebration? If it was 23 BCE, and excluding year zero would make this year 2022, i.e., 2044 years later, equaling 2044/49=41.7142 Jubilee cycles since the alleged Josephus' statement. It's now 2022, and if so we would be 0.7142 x 49 = 35 years into the current jubilee cycle. And so, (oh shudder and moan!!), there would be 14 more years until the 42nd Jubilee. :calvin Can't be! :negative: I think it is easier to count every 50 years. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7 (Sabbatical year) 1 sabbatical week...2...3...4...5...6...7th Sabbatical week) 49 years. Then Jubilee in the 50th year. Then start again. I know that there is a debate on this whether the Jubilee cycle should be 49 years or 50 years long. IMHO, I think 50 years makes more sense. Mind you, I am a bear of small brain... ?...so I could be wrong. 😛 Also, 6,000 years of human history (+1,000 for the Millenium) would be 120 Jubilee cycles of 50 years. That wouldn't work with 49 year cycles.
