Jubilee 2027 AD, Part 1

JUBILEE: 2027* AD, Part 1

When Will Yehovah and His Messiah Return?

Or, When will “The Lord and His Christ” Return

Chapter 4, Part 1 Preview: Will Yeshua (*Jesus) actually return during the next Jubilee year, fulfilling numerous symbolisms associated with the year of release? Yeshua presented a very unusual “mission statement” at the very beginning of his ministry. Immediately after the account of His immersion (baptism) and the account of Satan tempting Him, is a reference to some of His first recorded words. These words have JUBILEE stamped all over them! This chapter provides several differing reasons to indicate that this is the case. Several critical countdowns apparently converge in 2027 AD.

This chapter provides several distinct reasons indicating that Yeshua provided clues to the date of His return. Five prophetic countdowns appear to converge in 2027 AD. Furthermore, contrary to the opinion of some, Yeshua will not abandon His Father out in the heavens and return alone; as exemplified by the verses found in the subtitle link. Further still, They are planning on staying here on earth! (Psalms 76:2-3, Psalms Chapters 46, 47, 48; Ezekiel 37:26-28)

(Note: The information in this chapter is presented as being factual. I believe that my conclusions are primarily correct. I do not intend to place a lot of disclaimers in the text specifying that others may consider certain statements to be speculative. It should go without saying that anyone reading information relating to the Bible should consider anything to be speculative until personally certain that sufficient evidence has been presented as proof.)

We need to consider every word of Yeshua’s “mission statement”. Immediately after the account of His immersion and the account of Satan tempting Him, is a reference to some of His first recorded words. Commentators realize that Yeshua was refering to the JUBILEE, but then just spiritualize the words away! Luke gave us the circumstances leading up to Yeshua’s statement:

Luke 4:16-19 He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and He went into the synagogue, as usual, on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 He was handed the book of Isaiah the prophet. Yeshua opened the book, and found the place where it is written, 18 “The spirit of Yehovah is on Me. He has anointed Me to proclaim the Good News to the poor; and has sent Me to heal the downtrodden, and to herald release from bondage to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind; and to assure the penitent by liberating them from their sins, 19 and TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF YEHOVAH”. —The Testimony of Yeshua, Gabriel Version (GV)

(In Greek, the root word for acceptable meant to take by the hand. That is essentially what will happen to Israel.)

*Before going further, I’d like to mention that in 1998, when I first wrote this chapter, I believed that Yeshua would have to have been crucified before He could have completed all of the above requirements. While I had considered that the beginning of His ministry was pertinent, and even the possible fulfillment, it still seemed more reasonable that He would have had to become the sacrificial Lamb, before He could “set at liberty”, anyone. So this chapter used to be entitled Jubilee 2031 AD (40 X 50 years from His death in 31 AD). While preparing Chapter 32, The Mysterious Seventy “Weeks” of Daniel, in late 2005, I learned of a great deal of archeological and historical data, collected in recent years, that caused me to believe that it was the end point of the seventy “weeks” that mark the Jubilee rather than the Messiah’s role as our sacrificial lamb.

There are six aspects of His commission that will be addressed later in the chapter. I will comment on each of them. A primary purpose of this chapter is to elaborate on the importance of Yeshua’s “mission statement”.

Interestingly, there are six other specific Messianic prophecies in the Seventy “Weeks” of Daniel 9:24! Had Yeshua finished quoting from Isaiah 61, we would see that up to that point in time, He had only fulfilled them to the point in mid sentence where He stopped reading! It is easy to see that none of the rest of Isaiah’s prophecy has been fulfilled. Like Daniel 9:24, there is a prophetic “gap” in time.

Isaiah 61:1-9 The Spirit of Adonay Yehovah is on me; because Yehovah has anointed me to preach the Good News to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenminded, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of Yehovahs favor, and the day [or year] of vengeance of our Elohim [Yeshua stopped here.]; and to comfort everyone who mourns [due to the end time holocaust],; 3 To establish those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a hats instead of ashes on their heads, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they can be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yehovah, so that they can be clothed with splendor. 4 They’ll rebuild places desolate since antiquity, they’ll bebuild the ancestral places and places now wasted and deserted, and they’ll restore cities parched from heat, and places deserted for many generations. 5 Foreigners will stand and tend your flocks, and aliens will be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 6 And you’ll be called the priests of Yehovah; people will call you the ministers of our Elohim. You’ll savor the wealth of the nations, and you yourselves will enter into their splendor. 7 Your shame will be replaced with a double inheritance; and instead of humiliation you’ll shout for joy over your territory. So in your land you’ll own twice as much as the other nations. You’ll have everlasting joy. 8 “Because I, Yehovah, love justice, I hate robbery with depravity; and I’ll certainly give you your compensation, and I’ll make an everlasting covenant [i.e. the New Covenant] with you. 9 Your descendants will be revealed [1] among the nations, and their descendants among the people. Everyone who sees them will acknowledge that they are the descendants who Yehovah has blessed” [Today, Israel is considered scum by the nations]. 10 I’ll greatly rejoice in Yehovah, my soul will be joyful in my Elohim; because He has clothed me with the garments of deliverance, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, like a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and like a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11 Like the earth pushing up sprouts, and like a garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up; so Adonay Yehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring up in front of all nations. WE

[1] Currently, even Judah needs the “lost” tribes Israel to be revealed to them.

There is evidence that the year 34 BC was recognized, at the time, as both a sabbatical year and the seventieth year of the prophetically significant 70 year cycle (as described on this linked article under entitled The seventy-Year Cycle and that further, if you simply count off years from 457 BC, as in on the chart in Chapter 32—counting ten years per line, you do indeed end up at 37 BC., another year thought to be a 70th year. However, of far more importance is the fact that if you count forward still once more by 70 years you end up at 34 AD. That would be exactly seven years after Yeshua began His ministry.

Alternative Realities

Might there have been an alternative course in the history of humanity? Might Father (Father is a name for “God” that we can all agree on) have hoped to use an alternative plan? What if Father was anticipating that the remnant of Israel might accept the Messiah? What if the 70th week of the Seventy Weeks prophecy was designed to hopefully follow on the heels of the 69th week. Were the Jews given a bona fide opportunity to accept the Messiah, or was Yeshua simply playing out a role that was predestined to end in His death? Had Yeshua been able to live another 3 1/2 years, He would have been there for the next potentially significant Seventieth Year. Since Yeshua was killed in the middle of what might have become the Seventieth week, perhaps the alternative reality is that the Seventieth Week was delayed for 2000 years. In the next “go around”—the absolute end of the 70 “weeks”—only animal sacrifices will be offered in the middle of the “week”. Did Father make a good faith offer to the descendants of those who returned to Jerusalem?

Imagine what might have happened if Judah had accepted their Messiah. Certainly there are prophecies that would have failed, (1 Corinthians 13:8) but Father will cancel a punishing prophecy if we repent, as the book of Jonah illustrates. Perhaps even the prophecies about Yeshua suffering could have had some other type of fulfillment.

Why would Yeshua’s death have been predestined, when even He did not know until the very end that He would have to be literally sacrificed? (Mark 14:36). Certainly the Apostles had not been prepared for an extended “postponement” of the Everlasting Kingdom. Even Paul was expecting the Kingdom to come in his lifetime:

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 We declare this to you on the Master’s own authority, that WE who may survive and be alive, at the coming of our Master, will not precede those who have fallen asleep [into the Kingdom]. 16 Because our Master will personally come down from Heaven, with a mandate, and with a voice like the chief Messenger, and with Yehovahs trumpet; and the dead who belong to the Messiah, will rise first. 17 Then, WE who are still alive, having survived, will be carried away together with them into the clouds, to meet our Master in the lower atmosphere; and this is how we will accompany our Master forever. GV

Alternative reality #1 At the very beginning of the 7000 year plan, Adam and Eve had an opportunity to bring about a lasting Paradise. Why should we believe that Father had “predestined” that they fail? All that they had to do is decide who to believe: Father saying “avoid the fruit”, or the stranger saying, “No, it’s yummy”! It might have been a 50/50 call!

Alternative reality #2: Exactly (?) 2000 years later, Father gave a childless couple, Abraham and Sarah, an opportunity to have children and to grant all of their descendants a Paradise. The deal was conditional upon Abraham’s being willing to offer his “only son” as a sacrifice on a mountain in the “land of Moriah”.

Genesis 22:2 He said, “Now take your son, your only son, who you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I’ll tell you about”. GV

In this reality, an animal sacrifice was substituted for the only son at the last minute! The fulfillment of this reality began going full tilt when Abraham’s descendants had multiplied into twelve large tribes. However following the Exodus, the participants boycotted the blessings. If Father had known for sure, in advance, that Abraham would be willing to sacrifice Isaac, He would not have had to test him so rigorously. So all of history hinged on Abraham’s decision!

Alternative reality #3: 2000 years later, (I believe this to be exactly the year 4000 since creation week) Father sent His “only Son” to the descendants of the faithful people who had returned to the Promised Land. He gave them a good faith offer, His “good news”, but it was refused. Father actually gambled that “They will respect my son”, as the parable found in Matthew below, and Mark 12:6 explains!

Yeshua saw how the new deal was going and offered this thinly veiled commentary. Do we believe what Yeshua said about His Father’s intentions?

Here’s another analogy:

Matthew 21:33-42 “A certain landowner planted a vineyard, and enclosed it with a hedge, dug in a winepress tub, built a tower in it, leased it to sharecroppers, and then traveled abroad. 34 When the time for harvesting the fruit arrived, he sent his servants to the sharecroppers, so that they could collect his portion of vintage. 35 The sharecroppers grabbed his servants; beat one, and stoned another and they killed one. 36 So he sent another group of servants, more than the first time, and they did the same to them. 37 Finally, he sent his son to them, because he thought, ‘Perhaps they will respect my son’. 38 But when the sharecroppers saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir, let’s kill him and steal his inheritance’. 39 So they grabbed him and took him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 So when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those sharecroppers”? 41 They replied, “He will utterly destroy them, and will lease the vineyard to other sharecroppers who will give him the fruit of the harvest”. 42 Yeshua asked them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, this is from Yehovah, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? GV

Three strikes and they’re out! This time, due to the poor character of many of Abraham’s descendants, there was no sparing the only Son. His sacrifice bought humanity another 2000 years, and the time for Father to redeem a few kings and priests (Revelation 1:6, 5:10) to rule when the Everlasting Kingdom comes—by force.

Alternative reality #4: 2000 years later, (I believe that the implementation of this is to include the year 6000, following creation week)

Back to the Future:

“Moriah” is where Abraham went to sacrifice his son, and is only mentioned twice in the Scriptures. This is interesting, especially given the number of times that Father’s temples (1st, 2nd, and soon to be the 3rd) are mentioned.

2 Chronicles 3:1 Then Solomon began to build Yehovahs ‘house’ [temple] in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yehovah appeared to David his father, that he prepared in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. WE

The next reality will not be an alternative! Father will forcefully implement peace on earth. All of the wicked who oppose Him will be exterminated. There is much commentary on this website about the Two Witnesses (you could search it out on my Google search, rather than the built in search.) Suffice it to say that John, along with (or one of) the Two Witnesses will spearhead a “temple movement”! (See Does Father Travel in Time? It’s back to Mount Moriah! Israel has to go back to Mount Moriah and start from scratch! Ezekiel Chapters 40-48 thoroly describes the activities of the third temple; prophesied to be rebuilt on Mount Moriah. Ezekiel chapters 2-3 mentions the word “measure” 29 times in connection to the temple. This is the tie in of the Two Witnesses to their “measuring commission”:

Revelation 11:1-3 A reed was given to me, John, like a rod; and the Messenger stood, saying, “Get up, and measure the Temple of Yehovah, and the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court that is outside of the Temple, and dont measure it; because it is given to the other nations; and they will trample the dedicated city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 I will commission My Two Witnesses; and they will prophesy one thousand and two-hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. GV

I had never considered an alternative seventieth “week” until I was graphing out the first 483 years of The Seventy “weeks” Prophecy. Here is the “week that wasnt”; the “week” that might have been the seventieth “week”. While preterists attempt to force fit the martyrdom of Stephen into the apex of a 34 AD fulfillment of week 70—that was certainly not anything noteworthy enough to fulfill The Ultimate Prophecy!

“When You See Armies....”

The last generation of the modern nations of Israel are, for the most part, oblivious to the red flags warning of impending doom for Western society. The few voices crying in the wilderness to flee from the coming holocaust will continue to be ridiculed. This coming time, known as the Time of Jacob’s Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), will engulf all of the English speaking nations, and other nations descended from those twelve original tribes. When hordes of armies finally descend on Jerusalem—the final warning—few will associate this to Yeshua’s instructions to flea:

Luke 21:20 So when you see Jerusalem with an army encircling it, then you’ll know that its destruction is near. GV

Daniel 12 mentions three separate countdowns to the exact beginning of the time of trouble—the “Great Tribulation” on Israel:

Daniel 12:1-12 AT THAT TIME, Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there will be a time of trouble [the great Tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation up until that same time; AND AT THAT TIME [during the “time of the end”!] your people will be delivered, everyone whose names are found written in the Book [of Life]. 2 Multitudes of those who sleeping in the dust of the earth will awaken, some to everlasting life, and the others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. But Daniel, keep this message a secret, and put a seal on the book til the time of the end, many will travel around quickly, and knowledge will greatly increase [literally shoot!] 5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there two others standing there. One was on the bank of the river on this side, and one on the other bank of the river. 6 One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be to the end of these wonders”? 7 I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the water of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by the One who lives forever that it will be for a time, times, and a half; and when they’ve made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the devoted people [more about them later], all of these things will be finished. 8 I heard, but I didnt understand; then I asked, “Master, what will the end result of these things be”? 9 He said, Go your way, Daniel; because the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked will continue to be wicked; and none of the wicked will understand; but those who are wise will understand. 11 From the time that the continual burnt sacrifices are abolished, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is the person who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days. WE

Yeshua stated that the cessation of sacrificing, and the abomination of desolation, mentioned in Daniel 12:10, would mark the time for His people in Jerusalem to “flee”.

Matthew 24:15-16 15 When you see the sign of the idolatrous abomination of desolation that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the Sacred Place—certainly understand this!— 16 then those who are in Judea should flee to the mountain [1]; GV

[1] This is reminiscent of Matthew 28:16.

Daniel 11:31 Forces will stand on his part, and they will profane the sanctuary, including the fortress, and will stop the continual burnt offering, and they will set up the horrific abomination. WE

Daniel 9:27 He will sanction a covenant with many for one ‘seven’. Then in the middle of the ‘seven’ he will stop the sacrifices and the offerings. From a wing [of the temple] abominations will come from the one causing the desolations; until the predetermined end time, when wrath will be poured out on the awestruck. WE

This is a reference to the time when Ephraim’s “prince” (Daniel 9:26-27) and the false prophet (the “abominator” of Daniel 11:31) will cut a seven year deal with Judah, and then “they”, that is those who follow the Beast, will devastate Jerusalem in the “middle of the week”. The prince appears to be identified in a fascinating book entitled The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea, by Tim Cohen.

Daniel 9 is the renowned seventy weeks prophecy chapter. It is from these Scriptures that the wise men determined the year of the first coming of the Messiah. Might it not also indicate His next arrival? The “abominator” will begin “week” number seventy with an agreement or “covenant”. He will then break his covenant “in the middle of the week”, but ultimately the abominator will be consumed! “Consummation” (Strong’s 03617) as used here, literally means “consumed” or “complete destruction”. This consumption will take place at the conclusion of that seventieth prophetic week, as “is determined”. Ironically, the one who stopped the consuming sacrifices will be consumed, as a sacrifice, himself!

Revelation 19:17-18 I saw a Messenger standing engulfed within the rays of the sun; and he shouted to all the birds that fly overhead in the sky, “Come, assemble at this great supper of Yehovah. 18 Eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains of thousands, the flesh of valiant men, the flesh of horses and their riders, the flesh of everyone free-born and slaves, both low ranking and high”. GV

Zephaniah and Jeremiah also described this event.

Zephaniah 1:7 ... Yehovah has prepared a sacrifice. He has “consecrated” [sarcasm] his guests. WE

Jeremiah 46:10 ... when He may take vengeance on His adversaries; and the sword will devour and be satiate, and drink its fill of their blood; because Adonay, Yehovah, leader of Heavens army, has a sacrifice in the North Country by the river Euphrates. WE

Daniel 12 reveals a 1260 day countdown, a 1290 day countdown, and a 1335 day countdown. We have a Father who “gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things...”(Daniel 2:21-22).

Furthermore, we know that:

Amos 3:7 Surely Adonay Yehovah will do nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. WE

Considering the devastation that will “trouble” Israel, we might surely want to know HOW MUCH LEAD TIME will Father give “the wise” of Daniel 12:10? One thing we know is that they will be “blessed”, having waited 1335 days following the cessation of the sacrifices (v.11-12).

This chapter reveals a fourth countdown found in Daniel, one of seven years duration, which concludes the week that included the three countdowns mentioned above. More importantly, there is an overlooked timetable, a final 2000 year countdown that is racing to completion.

The entire 23rd chapter of Leviticus goes into great detail explaining when Father’s people should keep the Sabbath and the seven Holy Days on Father’s own calendar. Most of Father’s doctrines do not have an entire chapter devoted to explaining them in this manner. Verse 2 serves as an introduction.

Leviticus 23:2 “Speak to the descendants of Israel, and tell them, ‘These are Yehovahs appointed times, that you will proclaim to be dedicated convocations, these are My appointed times: WE

Leviticus 25 is another such chapter, and it also pertains to Father’s calendar. Shortly afterward, when Moses was on Mt. Sinai, Father also explained the importance of observing Sabbatical years and Jubilee years. Imagine the impact that a Sabbatical year would have on a strictly agricultural society.

Leviticus 25:3-4 Six years you’ll sow your field, and six years you’ll prune your vineyard, and gather in in fruit; 4 but during the seventh year there will be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to Yehovah. You wont sow your fields or prune your vineyards. WE

The Old and New Marriage Covenants

The following verse indicates that Yeshua “honors His marriage covenant” “with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments....” in spite of the fact that most of Israel, at that time, had broken the covenant. That time is not unlike our own time, as far as being faithful goes. An “everlasting marriage covenant” was the essence of the covenant that Father made to Abraham. (The root word of “everlasting” indicates that the end, when applicable, is way out of sight.) Whether the covenant is Abraham’s covenant, that remains unfulfilled (Hebrews 11:13), or the covenant given from Mt. Sinai, that was suspended, or the New Covenant with Israel, that is yet to come (Jeremiah 31:31-34), the issue always concerns a promise of His people, to love, honor and obey our Father.

Daniel 9:4 I prayed to Yehovah my Elohim, and made confession, and said, ‘Oh, Adonay, the great and awesome Elohim, who honors His covenant and loving kindness with those who love Him and obey His Commandments, WE

Speaking of the future:

Romans 11:26 and then, all Israel will be Rescued. As the Scriptures declare, “A deliverer will come from Zion, and will remove the lack of reverence of Jacob. GV

All of these “covenants” are really facets of the “everlasting covenant” that we were promised by Ezekiel and other prophets:

Ezekiel 37:26 I’ll make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them; and I’ll establish them, and multiply them, and set My temple among them forever. WE

Paul, thinking that the New Covenant was about to be implemented said:

Hebrews 13:20-21 Now may Aloha who gives peace, who brought up the great Shepherd of the flock from the dead, by the blood of the everlasting covenant, namely Yeshua the Messiah, our Master, 21 fully equip you, in everything that you do, to carry out His will; producing in us the things that will please Him, thru Yeshua the Messiah. To Him belongs the splendor, to the ages of the ages! Aw-mane’. GV

(See The New Covenant, Soon to be Implemented!)

The future awareness of Father’s covenant, and willingness to agree to its terms, will be due to the message that Israel will hear from the Two Witnesses! Their message is about the fulfillment of the Jubilee and the marriage of Israel! Israel has amnesia! She doesnt know who she is or that she had been married!

Ezekiel 16:8 Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, your time was the time of love! I spread My skirt over you, and covered your nakedness; yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says Adonay Yehovah, and you became Mine. WE

This is really what the covenant, or marriage agreement, is all about: it is about our being faithful to our Father and His remaining our faithful Provider.

Who is Your Covenant With?

All of the Hebrew Scriptures can be summarized under the banner of Father wanting to marry a sacred People! Here is the “marriage vow”.

Deuteronomy 26:17-19 Today you’ve declared that Yehovah is your Elohim, and that you would walk in His ways, and obey His statutes, and His Commandments, and His ordinances, and listen to His voice; [I do!] 18 and Yehovah has declared you today to be a people for His own possession, just like He promised you, and that you must obey all His Commandments; 19 and to make you high above all nations that He has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; so that you can be a people dedicated to Yehovah your Elohim, as He has spoken. WE

Jubilee: The Marriage Supper of the Lamb?

Might Sabbatical years, in the Kingdom, be celebrated in the same manner that a marriage was to be celebrated in ancient Israel? Is there to be a relationship between the Jubilee and marriage?

Deuteronomy 24:5 When a man takes a new wife, he wont go out with the army, and he wont be assigned any business; he’ll be free at home one year, and will cheer the wife who he has taken. WE

Compare to:

Isaiah 62:4-5 You’ll no longer be called Forsaken; nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you’ll be called ‘Hephzibah’ [Literally “My delight is in her”], and your land ‘Beulah’ [Literally; to marry]; because Yehovah will delight in you, and your land will be married. 5 Just like when a young man marries a virgin, your sons will marry you [the land of Israel]; and like a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, that is how your Elohim will rejoice over you. WE

Imagine what it might be like to have “one year” long second, third ...“honeymoons” every seventh year! During a One Thousand Year long Sabbatical, when Land Sabbaths have become the norm for all of the nations of the New Earth to come, might Father’s desire for Sabbatical “land” rests, for the rural majority, not also include every segment of society, even those who do not live off of the land?

But isnt the land being married just figurative speech? We know that it is actually the “Church”*) that will be married then, right?

Luke 20:35 But those who are worthy of the next world, and of the resurrection from the dead, dont take wives, nor are wives given to husbands. GV

Not only does this say that “the Church” (Greek: Assembly) will not marry, in the Kingdom, but SPECIFICALLY, it is at the very resurrection associated with the “wedding supper”, that they do not marry! You have probably always heard that this marriage supper was for Yeshua and His “Church”. Could John (Yeshua) actually have been referring to a marriage that was alluded to at a much earlier time? Might the marriage actually be the jubilant time when His saints are blessed; the time that I believe typifies what the Jubilee actually commemorates—the restoration of Israel? I believe that it is. A great many Bible verses that the churches say pertains to them actually pertain to the twelve tribes of Israel. A salient introduction to this topic is The Actual Message of Matthew 24.

The Dragon Is Slain, And The Wedding Is On!

Can the Greek texts come to an entirely different conclusion than the Prophets? Israel’s Savior [the Sacred One]— her betrothed, will come to her riding on a white horse, and He will slay Leviathan, the fire breathing dinosaur (dragon), with a sword! [Leviathan represents Satan]

Revelation 19:7-11 Let’s rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and praise Him; because the Marriage Supper of the Lamb has come, and His fiancée has made herself ready. 8 Her compensation was to be clothed in fine linen, pure and shining; because fine linen represents the righteousness of the Saints. 9 He told me, “Write this; ‘Those who are called to the marriage banquet feast of the Lamb are blessed’”. Then he told me, “My sayings are the true words of Yehovah”. 10 I fell at his feet, to worship him. But he told me, “See that you dont do that; because I also serve Yehovah, I’m your brother who also adheres to the Testimony [or “written statements”] of Yeshua. Worship Yehovah; because the Testimony of Yeshua is the spirit, revealing prophecies”. 11 I saw the sky opened, and white horse; and the One who sat on it is called Faithful and Genuine; and in righteousness He judges, and wages war! GV

Isaiah 27:1 In that day, Yehovah will punish Leviathan with His fierce, large and sharp sword, the elusive serpent, Leviathan the twisted serpent; and He will kill the dinosaur in the sea. —The Word of Elohim, Gabriel Version (WE)

Leviathan is invincible to humans, but just like in folklore, the prince marries once the dragon is defeated.

Job 41:1,4,19-21,33-34 Can you catch Leviathan [plesiosaurus?] with a fishhook or snag his tongue with a rope you lower? ... 4 Will he make an alliance with you? Will you capture him as a long term slave? ... 19 Fire comes out of his mouth. Sparks of fire go flying. 20 Smoke billows from his nostrils, like a boiling pot over a fire of reeds. 21 He breaths out blazing coals. Flashing flames leave his mouth. ... 33 There is nothing like him earth—nothing made without fear. 34 He looks down on the tall. He is king over his proud children. WE

Jeremiah 3:14 Return, backsliding children, says Yehovah; because I am to be married to you: and I will take one of you from this city, and two from that family, and I will bring you to Zion. WE

Israel broke her former or “Old” marriage Covenant with Father, but Father promised to make a new marriage covenant!

Isaiah 14:1 Yehovah will have compassion on Jacob, and will still choose Israel, and give them rest in their own land. Foreigners will be united with them, indeed they will be united with the house of Jacob. WE

This is a new marriage covenant, with better promises! Given a second chance, Father will “still choose” to marry “Israel”. This marriage is the fulfillment of the Jubilee!

Jeremiah 31:31-36 Look, the time is coming, says Yehovah, when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah; 32 Unlike the covenant that I made with their ancestors during the time when I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt; since they broke My Covenant, tho I was their Husband, declares Yehovah: 33 In this Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yehovah; I will put My Torah in their seat of thought and emotions, and I will write it in their minds. I will be their Elohim, and they will be My people. 34 Men will no longer teach their neighbors, and their brother, by asking, “Do you know Yehovah”; because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, declares Yehovah. “I will forgive their depravity, and I will no longer remember their sins”. 35 These are the exact words of Yehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; Yehovah, leader of His army is His name; 36 “If these ordinances ever depart from before Me, says Yehovah, then the descendants of Israel also will cease from being a nation before Me forever”. WE

The Land Will Be Married!

Notice that the pleasant land is the “heritage” or “possession”, or as I believe, the marriage present that Father, Israel’s provider, will present to His chosen “bride” following the Second Exodus.

Back to Jeremiah 3:

Jeremiah 3:18-22 In those days the house of Judah will accompany the house of Israel, and you’ll come together out of the Land of the North, to the land that I gave as an inheritance to your ancestors. 19 I said I would bring the descendants together, and give you a pleasant land, the most desirable inheritance of any nation! And I said, you’ll call Me ‘My Father’, and wont turn away from following Me. 20 Surely as when a wife unfaithfully departs from her husband, that is how you have been unfaithful with Me, house of Israel”, declares Yehovah. 21 A voice is heard on the bare heights, the crying and the petitions of the descendants of Israel; because of the perversity of their ways, they’ve ignored Yehovah their Elohim. 22 Return, you backsliding nation, and I’ll heal your backsliding. “We have come to You; because you are Yehovah our Elohim”! WE

I cant help myself. Here is another Scripture that equates the Second Exodus to the joy of a marriage:

Jeremiah 33:10-11 10 This is what Yehovah said; “Once again there will be heard in this place, the very place that you say, ‘It’s waste, without men or animals—in the cities of Judah, and the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without men or inhabitants and without animals’, 11 ‘the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, “Give thanks to Yehovah, leader of Heavens army, for Yehovah is good, because His loving kindness endures forever”; and of those who bring sacrifices of thanksgiving into Yehovahs house. Because I’ll cause the captives of the land to return as at before, declares Yehovah. WE

Sufficient has already been given to make a connection between the land being married, as well as its occupants. Could the land being married possibly be a reference to anything other than the Jubilee, I think not.

There is a direct connection between the Jubilee years and Father’s plan that is illustrated by understanding the symbolism of Israel’s Seven Apocalyptic Days. The KEY is in Yeshua’s fulfillment of the prophecy, which specified that He would “Proclaim the acceptable YEAR of the Lord”! This marvelous proclamation needs to be explained. Yeshua confirmed which year is the Jubilee, as a part of His earthly ministry!

Every fiftieth year Father intended an additional “Sabbatical” type of year. Again, all commercial agricultural practices were to stop:

Leviticus 25:11-12 11 The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you. In it you wont sow, or store* what grows by itself, or gather from the unpruned vines. 12 It’s a Jubilee; it will be dedicated for you. You’ll eat the fresh voluntary produce from your fields. WE

During this time, two “land sabbaths” were to occur back to back, the 49th and the 50th years. There is a detailed explanation for how “lands Sabbaths” were likely implemented (and will be again) in a separate article on the subject following this chapter. It is entitled Why the Land Sabbath? Faith was not even required when not sowing commercial crops for two consecutive years, because of the miraculously heavy yields promised in the sixth year. There would not have even been a market for crops during those years because everyone was learning the value of growing their own food, at least during those special years when everyone knew not to eat from a new harvest.

Incidentally, some people have tried to farm this way during this present age, but the double to triple harvests simply did not materialize. I myself have sought to make this work, believing that I was resting my land on the proper years, but apparently Father is not blessing us for now, in this regard. These appear to be national rather than individual blessings. I think if gardeners or farmers were getting four to six full sized ears of corn on a stalk and could credit it to sabbatical years; reporters would be pounding on their doors.

Leviticus 25:21-22 then I’ll command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it will produce food for all three years. 22 You’ll sow the eighth year, and eat the produce, the stored food; until the ninth year, until that year’s produce comes in, you’ll eat stored food. WE

This is apparently the way that Father will handle primarily the grain and legume harvests and other less perishable foods. Seed crops remain viable (alive and eatable) for several years.

Furthermore: “In this year of Jubilee, each of you SHALL RETURN TO HIS POSSESSION.” (Leviticus 25:13) It goes on to explain that if for some unfortunate reason, you or your family “sold” the family homestead out of necessity—the next generation would get it back. This is a form of land rental to some more fortunate or ambitious individual. An individual should never deprive his descendants of their fair share of the earth—indefinitely. The worst case scenario is that one would have to collect rent on his homestead and move into a small house in a village. (v.31) Imagine, a world without mortgages, no more slaving away to pay rent and no more homeless people. The last fifteen chapters of Ezekiel describe the conclusion of this age and the establishment of the “New Earth” to come. Here is an example of Jubilee law as it pertains to the future:

Ezekiel 46:16-18 Adonay Yehovah says; “If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it’s his inheritance, it will belong to his sons; it’s their possession by inheritance. 17 But if he gives part of his inheritance as a gift to one of his servants, it will be his until the year of liberty; then it will return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it will be for his sons. 18 The prince wont take the people’s inheritance, and remove them from their possession; he’ll give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, so that none of My people will be ‘refugees’”. WE

Think about it: year 6000, the year of Father’s wrath, is a “Jubilee” year! Yeshua “shall return to His possession” (Leviticus 25:10,13,28,41) during that very year. Actually, because He died, making us His heirs, we will return to our possessions along with Him! It’s part of our “gift”! No more diaspora. After 6000 years the long anticipated 7th millennium will begin, “tHE Millennium”.

What is so special about 6000 year? The ancients all understood and anticipated year 6000—Jews, Christians and even pagans. The following three subheadings are quotes from an excellent linked article on the topic entitled: Father’s Grand Design:

The Universal Rest Day

Besides this, many sources inform us of a special veneration for the seventh day of the week.

Jewish Tradition

“The writings of the Jewish prophets in the centuries just prior to the time of Yeshua the Messiah are full of the concept of a grand design for mankind. Talmudic traditions filtering down from the time of Enoch through the prophet Elijah were rich in references to a 7000-year plan of Father. The Jewish Encyclopedia summarizes:

The Millennium

The early Believers, too, were well aware of this plan stretching over seven millennia. In fact, it is referred to by almost every Christian author of the first two or three centuries. The author of Bible Myths clearly summarizes the early church teaching:

Herbert Armstrong believed that Yeshua’s return could be no later than 1996. He began a two thousand year count down beginning in 4 BC, the birth year of Yeshua. He accepted the chronology of James Ussher (1580-1655)—that Father had used the birth of Yeshua as a great millennial benchmark in time—rather than His death. Yet he also taught that Father would have to “cut short” his own agenda instead of cutting short Satan’s agenda of destroying Israel. Father’s plan will not be altered; He has an “appointed time” with us at precisely the end of mankind’s 6000 years. There is a benchmark! However theologans have “moved it”. They calculated the fifth millennium beginning with not only the wrong year but also the wrong event.

More serious tamperings with “Times” are soon to come:

Daniel 7:24-25 As for the ten horns, ten kings will come out of this kingdom; then another will come after them. He will be different from the first ones, and he will put down three kings. 25 He will speak against the Highest One, and will wear out by constant harassment the Saints* of the Highest One; and his intention will be to change the Appointed Times and the Torah; and the Saints will be handed over to him for a time and times and half a time. WE

[Incidentally, about Daniel 7, “Most Biblical scholars believe that the four beasts stand for Babylonia, Medes, Persia, and Alexander’s Greek empire. The ten horns represent the kings from Alexander on through the Seleucid kingdom”. But the context thruout is clearly about Judgment Day (v.9-10, 13-15, 26-27). We see that when “the Judge sat, and the books were opened” (v.10) that the fourth beast was killed BUT THE OTHER BEASTS LIVED ON:

The four beasts represent four superpowers (kings/kingdoms) that are dominant in the end time. But Superpower number four will severely trample the other three, but not totally destroy them:

Daniel 7:11-12 I kept watching due to the the powerful voice that the horn spoke with; I watched until the Beast was killed, and its body was destroyed, and it was put into a blazing fire. 12 As for the other Beasts, their sovereignty was taken away; but THEIR LIVES WERE PROLONGED for a specified period of duration. WE

Daniel 7:17-18 These four great Beasts represent four kings who will rise to power out of the earth. 18 But the Saints of the Highest One will receive the Kingdom, and occupy the Kingdom forever, for the ages to come. WE

Who could these end time Super powers be? Daniel mentioned the King of the North seven times in Daniel 11, and the King of the Southseven times there. He also mentioned what I call the King of the North-East in verse 44. Then in Revelation 9:16 there is mention of a 200 million man army. It just so happens that China has amassed such an army.]

The Greatest Benchmark in Time

If the birth of Yeshua was the monumental benchmark in time, then why did Father not bother to mention it?

Actually, there is a tremendous benchmark in time recorded in the Bible! The benchmark is the fulfillment of the seventy “weeks” prophecy in 27 AD. Daniel’s seventy “weeks” prophecy, history will record, also brought to a close the fourth millennium. Nearly two millennial “days” have passed since the fifth millennium began.

The Next Benchmark

Father will also fulfill a prophetic “work” toward the end of the sixth millennial “day”, in preparation for the long awaited seventh millennium, the millennial Sabbath. The Two Witnesses, who will prepare the way for the Kingdom of Yehovah, highlight the transition from mankind’s world dominance to Father’s dominion. Specifically, they will be informing those who will listen why these earth shaking events are occurring. There may be significance to the fact that three days and three nights was the only sign given that Yeshua was the Messiah. It could indicate that there remained, at that time, very close to three more millennial “days” in Father’s master plan. Then “on the THIRD DAY He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight!” (Hosea 6:2) That “third day” begins the final “day”—the Sabbatical 1000 year period. The “bad” news is that Their return, as I understand it, can not occur before the Jubilee year of 2027 AD, as will be shown.

Revelation 11:1-7 A reed was given to me, John, like a rod; and the Messenger stood, saying, “Get up, and measure the Temple of Yehovah, and the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court that is outside of the Temple, and dont measure it; because it is given to the other nations; and they will trample the dedicated city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 I will commission My Two Witnesses; and they will prophesy one thousand and two-hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two menorahs that stand before Yehovah of the earth. 5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths, and consumes their adversaries; and if anyone wants to harm them, he must be slain in this manner. 6 They have power to shut up the skies, so that the rain wont fall in those days; and they have power over bodies of water, to turn them into blood; and to strike the earth with any disaster, as often as they want. 7 When they have finished witnessing, the Wild Beast that came up from the abyss will war against them, and conquer them. GV

The Two Witnesses actually typify both the Father and His Son ruling in the Kingdom, from Jerusalem, with power and authority! Notice that the Two Witnesses will “finish their testimony” just before the beast is allowed to make war against them. When the Beast kills them, then Father will declare war on those who celebrate their death.

Revelation 11:10 Those who live on the earth will rejoice over them, and will be merry, and will send presents to each another; because those two prophets tormented the people who live on earth. GV

They will have had 1260 days to explain to the modern descendants of Israel the reason for the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The Dragon, knowing that after 1260 days, the Witnesses will no longer be invincible, will immediately have them murdered. After all, he has read the scriptures and is quite willing to fulfill that prophecy. After this “victory”, the beast, still in a delusional rage, will have trampled Jerusalem for 1260 days. This was the second 1260 day period: 42 months of 30 days is 1260 days. 3.5 + 3.5 = 7, this fulfills the final “week” of the seventy “weeks” prophecy. It also ends the “second woe” of the Great Tribulation (Revelation 11:14).

Haggai Chapters 1 & 2 describes how Joshua and Zerubbabel constructed the former temple. In a similar manner, their latter day counterparts, the Two Witnesses, will build the latter temple—on schedule! This will be something to watch for, shortly before in the next Jubilee.

Zechariah 4:3-10 3 There are two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other to the left side of it”. 4 I replied to the Messenger who spoke with me, “What are these, my Master”? 5 Then the Messenger who spoke with me replied, “Dont you know what these are”? I replied, “No, my Master”. 6 Then He said, “This is the Word of Yehovah to Zerubbabel, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit’, declares Yehovah, leader of Heavens army. 7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain. He’ll bring out the Capstone [1] with shouts of ‘He is favored!’” 8 The Word of Yehovah came to me, and said, 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands will also finish it; and you’ll know that Yehovah, leader of Heavens army has sent Me to you. 10 Who despises the day of small things? These seven will celebrate when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of Yehovah, that quickly traverse the entire earth”. WE

[1] The “cornerstone” of Ephesians 2:20 must be the same stone as the “capstone”:

Psalm 118:22 22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the best [or top] cornerstone. WE [Also Matthew 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17, Acts 4:11, 1 Peter 2:7]

In PART 2 of this chapter, there is a breakdown of the seven aspects of Yeshua’s Mission Statement that He said pertained to “the acceptable year of the Lord” which are synonymous with the “Jubilee”!
