JUBILEE: 2031/2032 AD, Part 2
When Will Yehovah and His Messiah Return?
(Or, When will “The LORD AND His Christ” Return?)
NOTICE: Many of the pages on this site are being updated to reflect end-time chronology based on a countdown from Yeshua’s crucifixion in 31 AD. I had been basing prophecies counting two millennial days (2,000 years) from His ministry begnning in 2028. The numbers can no longer possibly support that. For a 2,000 year long countdown to include 7 years of chaos (a shemitah cycle including the Great Tribulation) followed by a Year of Redemption, Jubilee #120: Isaiah 63, especially verse 4, Yeshua’s mission statement there must alude to everything that He accomplished during His earthly ministry—His death on the cross in particular—but far more importantly to the entire unfinished fulfillment in Isaiah 49! The vast majority of commentators assume that the year of Yeshua’s crucifixion would have been either 30 or 33 AD, based on the notion that Yeshua was crucified on a Friday, and based on the 4th century Hillel 2 Jewish calendar that was obviously not even in use yet, and various supposed years of the edict that began the 70 weeks prophecy, often retrofitted to accomodate a Good Friday year. So according to the link just mentioned, 2033 would be the last option for the numbers to total years 4000 thru 6000. I now believe 2031/2032 to be far more likely, with the beast striking a deal that results in the Jews sacrificing on the actual Temple site (not replacing the Dome of the Rock) in 2024 (on March 12th, Biblical New Year’s day).
When Will Yeshua (Jesus) Return?
The Timing of Yeshua’s First and Second Coming is about establishing the imminent timeline. This chapter is focused on the people living into the end times and beyond.
The Year AND Month of Their “Second Coming”
This next long paragraph is repeated from my Feast and Festival Calendar page.
Millions of Christians understand that there will be a seven year long period at the end of the age where Babylon seemingly has free reign. It’s super easy to find web articles confirming that. But the critical factor virtually always overlooked is that The Day of the Lord Yehovah is entirely separate from that period. It is not the same thing or part of the same thing. It’s a year long DESTRUCTION of the Beast power with Elohim in complete control of Babylon’s downfall—an eighth year! Read all about it in Isaiah 13 where Yehovah will “destroy all the sinners”.
Notice the benchmark event in Matthew:
Matthew 24:29 “Immediately AFTER the time of Tribulation, the sun will be darkened and the moon won’t shed her light and stars will fall from the sky...
Isaiah 13 also explains that in detail:
Isaiah 13:10-13,19 The stars in the sky and their constellations will no longer shine. The sun will be darkened when it rises, and the moon won’t reflect its light. [This event precedes the shaking of v.13, when the Day of Yehovah is “at hand”] 11 “I’ll punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their wickedness. I’ll put an end to the arrogance of the proud and humble the pride of the ruthless. 12 I’ll make people scarcer than pure gold, and mankind more rare than the gold of Ophir. 13 So I’ll make the 'sky above' tremble and the land will be shaken out of its 'orbit' at the wrath of Commander Yehovah during the Day of His fierce anger... 19 And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms, the splendor and pride of the 'Babylonians' will be overthrown by Elohim like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Joel 1 describes the transition from the Great Tribulation to the Day of Yehovah:
Joel 1:15 A terrible day! The Day of Yehovah is near, and it will come as destruction from the Sovereign.”
So it is not continuing destruction coming from Babylon, it’s destruction coming to destroy Babylon!
Joel 2 continues into another entire chapter about the Day of Yehovah. Details about the Day of Yehovah dwarf the info on the Great Tribulation, including the entire book of Revelation! See Revelation 1:10Isaiah 34 continues:
Isaiah 34:2,4,8 Yehovah is angry with all the nations and furious with their armies. He has devoted them to destruction. He doomed them to slaughter... 4 The entire array of stars will disappear. The sky will roll down like a scroll, and all of its stars will fall like withered leaves falling from a grapevine or a fig tree... 8 Yehovah has a Time of Vengeance, A YEAR of Payback settling the dispute over Zion.”
So there is an eight year long close to this age—not seven!
The Feast days portray a seven and an eighth day period twice every year: The extremely important Preparation day preceeding the Seven Days of Unleavened bread (Leviticus 23:5-8), and the Seven Days of the Feast of Tabernacles followed by “the Eighth Day” (Leviticus 23:33-44), and of course the final shemitah seven year period followed by an “eighth” year—the Jubilee year (Leviticus 25).
Seven years is not the same as six years and two partial years with the same number of days. So to be seven years it must start on the first day of some year. If my simple arithmetic is correct, that the seven and eight year long periods begin on the first day of the Biblical year in 2024/2025, then the seven shemitah years under Beast dominancy would end on the last day of the Biblical year of 2030/2031 (New moon/aviv calendar) according to these moon calculations. (Yehovah will be busy on Mt. Zion, Zechariah 8:3; 14:4; Daniel 7, especially verse 22 and Micah 4:2,6-7) falls on a year when “no man knows the day or the hour” of the Feast of Trumpets (Matthew 24:22). The Feast of Trumpets, when many now expect Yeshua to return based on Yeshua’s crucifixion in 31 AD + 2000 years is 2031/32 AD. It should be a difficult call when the actual New Moon will be sighted; beginning the Biblical month due to catastrophic atmospheric conditions. Whatever year They return will be one where the New Moon on the Feast of Trumpets can’t be determined in advance—but neither of those two years have a questionable new moon by observation of the crescent moon! The New Moon when Yeshua returns to the Mount of Olives might be sighted on October 2, 2031, but possibly the next day. Yet while I can’t pretend that the years since the Daniel decree were actually 360 days long, Revelation predicts that soon years will be 5+ days shorter!. Simple arithmetic from the sequil brings me to spring 2031—spring 2032 as the Jubilee year when Yeshua and His Father return. Of course cosmic events and the return of a 360 day long year will make these dates just relative placeholders for reference. Keep in mind that The Year of Payback does last an entire year!
The Next Benchmark
Yehovah will also bring about swift justice 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 (Jehovah) highlight the transition from mankind’s world dominance to Yehovah’s dominion. Specifically, they will be informing those who will listen why these earth shaking events are occurring. There is significance to the fact that “three days and three nights” was the only sign given that Yeshua was the Messiah. It indicates that three more millennial “days” were remaining in Yehovah’s master plan. Then “on the THIRD DAY He will raise us up, so that we can live in His sight!” (Hosea 6:2) That “third day” begins the final “day”—the Sabbatical 1,000 year period. The “bad” news is that Their return, as I understand it, can not occur before the Jubilee year of 2031 AD, as will be shown.
Revelation 11:1-7 Then I, John, was given a measuring reed like a staff, and the messenger stood and said, “Get up and measure the Temple of Yehovah and the altar and those who worship there. 2 But don’t measure the courtyard outside of the Temple. Leave it out, because it has been given to the heathens, and they’ll trample the 'cherished' city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 I’ll commission My Two Witnesses. They’ll prophesy for 1,260 days, wearing sackcloth. 4 They are the two olive trees and the two menorahs [] standing in the presence of the Aloha of the earth. 5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire will come from their mouths and devours their enemies—if anyone wants to harm them they must be killed in the same way. 6 These Witnesses have the power to shut up the sky, to keep rain from falling during those days [Gr. “of prophecy”], 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 predatory beast [Aramaic “A beast of the tooth”] that came up from the abyss will wage war against them and kill them.—The Gabriel Bible
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, Yehovah 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.
They will have had 1,260 days to explain to the modern descendants of Israel the reason for the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The Dragon, knowing that after 1,260 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 1,260 days. This was the second 1,260 day period: 42 months of 30 days is 1,260 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 = (Yehoshua, Yeshua) 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 at the very start of the seven years.
Zechariah 4:3-10 And there are two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on the left.” 4 I said to the Messenger who was speaking with me, “Master, what are these?” 5 Then the Messenger who was speaking with me replied, “Don’t you know what these are?” I replied, “No, Master.” 6 Then Commander Yehovah said, “This is the 'message' of Yehovah to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might or power, but by My Spirit. 7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you’ll become a plain. He’ll bring out the Capstone [1] with shouts of Blessings, blessings on it!’” 8 The Word of Yehovah came to me. He said, 9 “Zerubbabel’s hands have laid the foundation of this 'Temple', and his hands will finish it. Then you’ll know that Commander Yehovah has sent me to you. 10 Who despises the day of small things? These seven will celebrate when they see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand. They are the eyes of Yehovah that quickly traverse the entire earth.”
[1] The “cornerstone” of Ephestians 2:20 must be the same stone as the “capstone”:
Psalm 118:22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the uppermost cornerstone. [Also Matthew 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17, Acts 4:11, 1 Peter 2:7]
There is a breakdown of the seven aspects of Yeshua’s Mission Statement that He said pertained to “the acceptable year of the Lord” that is synonymous with the “Jubilee”! More on that later.
Yeshua’s mission statement is what lead to His early death. In fact within minutes of sharing it a mob tried to murder Him. I’d like to expand on the Mission Statement objectives mentioned in Part 1 because they are exceedingly important.
Mission #1
“The spirit of Yehovah is on Me, because He has anointed Me to proclaim Good News to the poor”: The special (holy) spirit literally descended on Yeshua (Luke 3:22). Yeshua’s Good News message was in reality the beginning of the fulfillment of many prophecies. His message, like the messages of all of the prophets of the Hebrew Scriptures He quoted from so frequently concerned the coming Kingdom of Elohim (God) and the rescue (salvation) of humanity. That is the very purpose for the creation of the Kingdom, as well as the bad news of the events that must precede that wonderful time.
The Two Witnesses will sound the alarm that the nations of Israel (the 10 “lost” tribes will go into captivity under the direction of the beast, but the response will be negligible until they are given “power”. This is a vital part of the “gospel” truth. Yet some of us can miss out on much of the destruction unleashed by the beast, as well as the destruction that Yehovah Himself promised in Zechariah: “When I bring a sword on a land”.
Zechariah 14:2 I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem...
Just as ordinary elected watchmen are responsible for the lives of people, the watchmen that Yehovah will send will warn modern Israel that their very lives are at stake:
Ezekiel 33:2-8 Human son, speak to your ‘countrymen’ and tell them, “If I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land select one of their men and appoint him as their watchman, 3 and if he sees the sword coming on the land, and he blows the shofar, and warns the people, 4 then if anyone hears the sound of the shofar, and doesn’t take warning, their shed blood will be ‘their own fault’ when the sword comes and takes them out, 5 since they heard the sound of the shofar, and ignored the warning. Their shed blood will be their ‘own fault’. But if they had heeded the warning, they could have saved their lives. 6 But if the watchman sees swordsmen coming, and doesn’t blow the shofar, and the people aren’t warned, and the swordsmen come, and ‘kills’ any one of them, they are being punished for their own sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their shed blood.’ 7 As for you, human son, I’ve appointed you as a watchman for the ‘nation’ of Israel, so listen to what I say and give them a warning from Me. 8 When I announce that the wicked will surely die, and you don’t warn the wicked about their ways, those wicked people will die in their sins, but you’ll be responsible for the blood on your hands. 9 But if you warn the wicked to turn from their ways, and they don’t turn, they’ll die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.
When military guards are found sleeping while on duty they may be put to death for not being prepared to warn their “brothers”! Today’s “shepherds” (political and religious leaders) are asleep (ironically claiming to be woke!), not able to warn the sleeping flock of the devastation to come. Most are no more aware of the trials to come than they are aware that Elohim will send His Two Witnesses to announce the solution to the predicament. Yet some men who have heard the early warning from others who have some knowledge are attacking the warning. These are the kind of people who would have scorned Noah.
It’s no wonder the question is posed:
Luke 18:8 I tell you, He’ll give them justice quickly. Yet when the Human Son comes, will He find faith on the earth?”
When we also “herald the Good News to the poor” as Yeshua taught us to do, we are really referring to the spiritually poor. Lacking physical possessions in this age has little to do with our need to understand this message, except for the fact that when someone is destitute they have fewer physical distractions than when they are totally preoccupied by the cares of this world. MODERN ISRAEL HAS BEEN SPIRITUALLY MAROONED IN A SEA OF PHYSICAL WEALTH (quickly vanishing as I update)!
Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, don’t refrain, lift up your voice like a shofar, and announce to My people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Both good and bad news was announced by various soundings of shofars:
Leviticus 25:9 THEN you must sound shofars loudly [U] [Literally “shofar shofar”, not Jubilee] on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Atonements you must sound shofars loudly thruout your entire land.
Jubilee number 120 (6,000 years divided by 50 years = 120) will be announced six months in advance on the Day of Atonements by the blowing of the Great shofar (trumpet) to a very weary bunch of Israelites from all 12 tribes who have lost their Way and their true national identities:
Isaiah 27:12-13 When that day comes, Yehovah will thresh [harvest] from the 'Euphrates' river valley to the Nile * of Egypt. You Israelites will be gleaned [rescued] one by one. 13 Also during that day the Great Shofar will sound, and those who were dying in the land of Assyria and those who were banished to the land of Egypt will come and worship Yehovah on the 'special' mountain in Jerusalem.
Revelation 11:15 The seventh messenger blew his shofar, and there were voices [the Greek adds “in heaven”] and thunder that said, “The kingdoms of the world have become the kingdom of Yehovah and of His Messiah, and They will reign forever and ever.”
Yehovah has reserved for His own purpose, the final year of the 6,000 year period to make His transition to power. The Day of Atonements of that year will announce the time when Israel is at one with Yehovah, with a betrothal of the Lamb to the multitude that fled from captivity (Revelation 19:5-9). Of more interest to the cherished ones (saints) is this:
1 Corinthians 15:52 In the smallest possible fraction of a second [Gr. atomos], while the last [seventh] shofar is sounding, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be transformed!
During this year the primary fulfillment of the Day of Trumpets will be realized, as will be the fulfillment of all of Israel’s 7 Apocalyptic Days!
Matthew 24:31 Then He’ll send out His spirit messengers with a loud shofar blast and they’ll gather together His selected people from the four winds [north, south, east and west], from one farthermost bound of the horizon [heaven] to the other.
It would be nice if the Bible just came out and said: This is what the Day of Trumpets represents, and this prophecy fulfills the meaning of the Jubilee, but you have to research it! The reality is that Yehovah has hidden things a little bit. That’s why even many Sabbatarians are unaware of the Biblical “Feast” Days. I really want to be there for the fulfillment of this Jubilee of Jubilees!
Mission Statement Part #2
“And has sent Me to heal the downtrodden”: For over three years, Yeshua personally fulfilled His objective to begin healing the downtrodden. Most significant perhaps was His literal healing of the afflicted. He was the perfect, positive example, so much so that He never disregarded His Father’s Torah even once and set a wrong example for another person. Still, only a few people on a small part of the earth were able to benefit from Yeshua’s actions. After Shavuot (Pentecost) of likely 31 or 32 AD, many more people started helping to heal the downtrodden. And during the 120th Jubilee, thousands more spirit born individuals who will then be beyond sinning will be powerfully representing their Elohim and righteousness, as older brothers. The traumatic dangers of the end time will be over.
Leviticus 25:13, 19 In this Year of Jubilee each of you can return to your ancestral property. ... 19 Then the land will yield its crops, and you’ll have plenty of food, and live there in security.
A tremendous cause of being brokenhearted today is oppression—man’s inhumanity to man. Again, in the Jubilee Chapter, Leviticus 25, the solution is given.
Leviticus 25:17 You must never take advantage of each other, but you must fear your Elohim, because I am Yehovah your Elohim.
When people cease to sin against each other by obeying the Ten Commandments, most of the trials that trouble us will vanish. Any “would be oppressors” will be swiftly dealt with when the next Jubilee brings in the real “New World Order”. Another cause of broken heartedness that will be eliminated beginning within the next Jubilee, is that all forms of natural disasters will cease. The resulting poverty is a significant cause of being brokenhearted.
Leviticus 25:35-37 If a countryman of yours becomes poor, and cannot support himself, you are to support him as a foreigner or temporary resident, and allow him to live beside you. 36 Take no interest or profit from him, but fear your Elohim, so that your countryman can live among you. 37 You must not lend him your silver at interest, or sell your food at a profit.
Mission Statement Part #3
“To herald release from bondage to the captives”: To my knowledge, Yeshua didn’t “liberate” any alleged criminals from a prison. He didn’t free any political prisoners of war from their camps nor did He end slavery during His human ministry. Yet Yeshua began fulfilling this Scripture! Again, this was His “mission statement”. Many wonderful verses could be used to illustrate this. Everyone alive during His ministry was under the strong influence of Satan. Everyone was a slave to sin and was on death row before Yeshua became our Passover Lamb. After all, “The wages of sin is death”. (Romans 6:23) With Yeshua’s anointing in 28 or 29 AD, His promise of freedom from mental and spiritual incarceration began fulfillment. The many captives who needed to be released were all captives of Satan. Of course a much greater physical and spiritual fulfillment will occur during the Second Exodus that immediately precedes the Everlasting Kingdom—again, the part of Isaiah’s prophecy that Yeshua did not fulfill yet—because He was killed! And because He was killed, week number 70 of The Mysterious Seventy “Weeks” Prophecy of Daniel had to be postponed for two millennia! (Again, Hosea 5:15 to 6:1-2 as below.)
Prior to the Second Exodus, Israel will have become like “a foreigner or temporary resident”. When Israel goes into captivity they will cry out for Jubilee and Yehovah will make it possible for His people to live in a new Promised Land!
Mission Statement Part #4
“And recovery of sight to the blind”: Of course this has both physical and spiritual fulfillment, referring obviously to the several instances when Yeshua healed the blind. This should have been a clue for the spiritually blind religious leaders of the day. The lasting significance is of course explained in John 9. This entire chapter deals with the healing of blindness of one man. This chapter also clearly sheds “light” on the spiritual significance that Yeshua later explained to that same man:
John 9:39-41 Yeshua said, “I came into the world for judgment, so that those who are blind can see, and so that those who can see will become blind. 40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?” 41 Yeshua told them, “If you were blind, your sins wouldn’t “stick”, but now you say, “We see”, so your sin is confirmed.”
He also said:
John 5:25 I tell you with absolute certainty that the time is coming, and now is [is benchmarked], when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Yehovah, and those who hear it will live.
This very generation had the privilege of hearing the actual “voice of the Son of Aloha”, enabling them to obtain eternal life.
Mission Statement Part #5
“and to assure the penitent by LIBERATING them from their sins”: Yeshua announced the spiritual liberation beginning at His anointing in 28 or 29 AD (Luke 4:18-19). Actually the plan dates back to at least “the foundation of the world”.
The special (holy) spirit that came to comfort the cherished ones gives us “liberty”:
2 Corinthians 3:15-17 To this day when Moses [Torah] is read, the veil is still standing in their minds. 16 Yet when one of them is converted to the Master, the veil that completely surrounds them is taken away. 17 Now the Master Himself is the spirit. And where the spirit of the Master is there is liberty.
James 1:25 But anyone who looks into the perfect Torah of liberty, and doesn’t forsake it, isn’t someone who hears something only to forget it. Instead, they act on the Word and they’re blessed in their work.
James 2:12 So speak and act like people who are going to be judged by the Torah of liberty.
Those who are “oppressed” by “the devil” now have help to keep him at bay.
Acts 10:38 how Yehovah anointed Yeshua of Nazareth with the special spirit and with power. He is the One who traveled around healing those who were oppressed by evil, because Yehovah was with Him.
Mission Statement Part #6
The liberty from oppression that the cherished ones have now is only a foretaste of what will come when there is truly “liberty thruout the land” during the next Jubilee year—the Second Exodus!
Leviticus 25:10 You must dedicate the fiftieth year, and proclaim [or read] liberty thruout the land to everyone who lives there. It will be your Jubilee. Each of you can return to your own property, and each of you can return to your own clan.
“AND TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF YEHOVAH”:
This is the part that no one believes! It’s not that the meaning is obscured, but that the literal truth continues to be spiritualized away! Even the writer of the commentary in my old Bible is aware of the literal meaning of this phrase. He stated that this phrase is:
“an allusion to Jubilee. This was every fiftieth year, in which all debt was forgiven, slaves were given their freedom, and ancestral lands were given back to their original family. The year of Jubilee allowed for a new start. (See Leviticus 25:10) Jesus offers a total cancellation of spiritual debt and a new beginning for those who respond to His message.”
Of course these “scholars” say, when asked, that Yeshua was strictly speaking of spiritual things or that He was merely speaking figuratively or some other such fluff. Yet the crowd tried to kill Yeshua immediately after He finished His comments! You don’t risk your life over fluff. Again, this was His “mission statement”, Yeshua proclaimed, announced, declared and disclosed the significance of the Jubilee year! Only when Yeshua began to proclaim His “Good News” before the “acceptable year” of 28 or 29 AD, were the spiritual freedoms of the Jubilee begun. It’s not likely that Elohim’s (Yehovah’s) people could ever institute many of the physical requirements of the Jubilee. That requires a civil government—something that won’t happen until the restoration of the twelve tribes of Israel! However, the ability to more deeply understand the seven millennium long plan of Yehovah is important. In the millennium, “land Sabbatarians” won’t be able to go to a store and buy freshly harvested food provided by “land Sabbath breakers” since everyone will almost immediately be participating in Biblical agriculture, once they begin learning about it at the Feast of Tabernacles. This prophecy concerns “My servant’s” amazing destiny:
Isaiah 49:6-10 He is saying: “It is not enough for You to [just] be My Servant [Yeshua] to reestablish the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the Israelites who were 'spared.' [Because] I’ll make You a light to the nations, so that You can bring My message of deliverance to the 'remotest parts' of the earth!” [The Messiah’s objective] 7 This is what Yehovah says to the Redeemer of Israel, the special One, the One who man despises, the One the nation abhors, the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and leaders will bow down [not kill Him], because of Yehovah who is faithful, the special One of Israel who has chosen You.” 8 This is what Yehovah says: “In a favorable time I have answered You, and in a day of deliverance I have helped You. I’ll protect You [the Messiah: Barnes] and give You to the people as a covenant [the covenantee], to restore the land and to repossess its desolate heritage. 9 You will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out’ and to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves’! They’ll be My sheep, grazing along the roads and finding pastures on all the once barren heights. 10 They won’t hunger or thirst, and the heat or sun won’t beat down on them because the One who has mercy on them will lead them. He’ll guide them to springs of water. [Context: Revelation 7:13-17]
The “acceptable time” spoken of here is “an illusion to” the acceptable Jubilee year when Yeshua and His Father will return! It is a rescue operation that has a lot to do with releasing prisoners, and with the environment. It affects pastures, highways and springs of water, even the intensity of the sun.
Mission Statement Conclusion
Luke 4:20-21 He rolled up the scroll and gave it to the attendant and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue was gazing at Him. 21 Then He told them, “Today this Scripture you just heard read has been fulfilled.”
The Messiah’s Mission Statement was completed once He applied those six statements to that very day. If anyone had hearing ears, He was saying that He was the Messiah! But to them it was blasphemy! So for years I thought that Yeshua had announced the upcoming Jubilee on that Day of Atonements when He bagan His ministry (to begin on the first day of the year—Aviv 1), but the math no longer works with that. He had to accomplish all of those statements. This happened when He said, “It is Finished!”
For just over three years, Yeshua incrementally began making known Yehovah’s plan, ultimately revealing that He was the Messiah and was to become the Passover lamb. However it wasn’t until Pentecost of 31 or32 AD that His own disciples began to fully comprehend it! It is of paramount importance to notice that He only chose to quote for a few seconds. This makes what little He did say of all the more importance! “No prophet is accepted in his own country”, He told them. (v.24). He stated in advance that they would reject Him. Next Yeshua gave a sobering comparison of the three year famine that Yehovah brought thru Elijah, to His three year mission. Only one widow believed Elijah. Yeshua also had precious little credibility. (Luke 4:25-26) Then they tried to “throw Him down over a cliff”! (v.29) Again referring to the original quote from Isaiah, it is important to notice that He quit quoting in the middle of a sentence! Had He finished the sentence He would have quoted, “and the day of vengeance of our Aloha...” (Isaiah 61:2) Once we can determine which year is “the acceptable year of Yehovah”, we can also determine when the next phase of the special plan begins—the “Day of Yehovah”. This chapter then lists many other occurrences describing the millennium. Yeshua’s earthly ministry began the fulfillment of these jubilant objectives. Following Satan’s wrath there will be a Jubilee year of tremendous importance. This will take place exactly forty Jubilee cycles after Yeshua proceeded to “proclaim the acceptable year of Yehovah”. Remember that the last year of this actual millennium is a Jubilee. (6000 is divisible by 50). The year 6001 since Adam and Eve’s exit from Eden begins the seventh millennium. All of the tremendous meanings of all seven Feast Days will have begun a latter fulfillment within the time frame of one special Jubilee year, including “the Last Day, that Great Day of the (seven day long) Feast” that portrays eternal life being made available to “anyone” who “thirsts” (John 7:37). After the captivity of Israel is over, there will be a lot of “thirsty” survivors!
Isaiah said that even the fasting of the people is for “wickedness”. He continued commenting about Atonements and the “acceptable day”.
Isaiah 58:5-7 Is this the kind of fast that I’ve chosen? Isn’t this a day for people to humble themselves? Shouldn’t you bow your heads down like reeds, spreading sackcloth and ashes to lie on? Would you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yehovah? 6 Isn’t this the fast that I’ve chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? 7 Isn’t it to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the wandering poor into your house? And cover he naked with clothes when you see them, rather than hide from your own ‘relatives’?
There is a direct connection between the Day of Atonements and the objectives of the Jubilee year! Mankind thinks that today we are acceptable to Yehovah, “just as we are”. To Yehovah, the “acceptable day” (Atonements) of the “acceptable year” (Jubilee year) will require, among other things, the widespread application of the blessings just mentioned. When this day comes then:
Isaiah 58:12 Some of your people will rebuild the ancient ruins, you’ll raise up the foundations of many generations. You’ll be called ‘those who’ repair broken walls and restore the streets where people live.”
Here is an entirely separate reason to believe that we must wait a full 2,000 years until the time when “He will come to us”! The context of this refers to both the original fall of Israel and quite specifically, to the soon to occur fall of the Israelite nations!
Hosea 5:6 thru 6:3 They’ll go with their flocks and their herds to seek Yehovah, but they won’t find Him. He has withdrawn Himself from them. 7 They are unfaithful to Yehovah, because they’ve borne illegitimate children. Now within one month [literally a New Moon] they’ll be devoured, along with their fields. 8 Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the ancient trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry in Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin! 9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of reprimand. Among the tribes of Israel, I’ve revealed what will surely be. 10 The leaders of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I’ll pour out My wrath on them like water. 11 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment, because he is intent in his pursuit of idols. 12 So to Ephraim I’m like a moth, and to the tribe of Judah like rottenness. 13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb, but he isn’t able to heal you, nor will he cure you of your wound. 14 Because I’ll be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the tribe of Judah. I will tear them in pieces and go away. I’ll carry them off, and there will be no one to save them. 15 Then I [Yeshua] will go away, returning to My place [Heaven] until they admit their guilt and seek My ‘presence’. In their tribulation they’ll earnestly search for Me. (Ignore the chapter break.) 6:1 So come, let’s return to Yehovah, because He has torn us to pieces, but He’ll heal us. He’s wounded us, but He’ll bandage our wounds. 2 He’ll revive [resurrect] us after two [millennial] days. On the third [millennial] day He’ll raise us up, so we can live in His presence. 3 We should acknowledge Yehovah. We must press on to know Him. As surely as the sun rises, His arrival is firmly established. He’ll come to us like the rain, like the ‘spring rains’ that water the earth.
Yehovah will “cut short” Satan’s reign during the Jubilee year. If the timing of the phrase “After two days He’ll revive us” is a reference to the re-establishment of the monarchy of Israel after the captivity and oppression that will occur at the close of the “second millennial day”, then wouldn’t it also refer to the first resurrection that is at the very end of “two” millennial “days” (2031/2032 AD), when the “third” millennial “day” is about to dawn? The beginning of the next millennium appears to be “ON the third ‘day’”. The word “days” is meaningless in this context to anyone not familiar with the “day for a year principle”.
This article/audio makes an excellent case for the parable of the Good Samaritan being much more than an admonition for being a good person. You don’t need a parable to express that. As with all parables, they were meant for only a select few to really grasp. Totally right idea, year, not so much.Mark 4:33-34 Yeshua gave the people many such parables to listen to and consider. 34 He didn’t tell them anything without parables. But He explained everything to His disciples when He was alone with them.
John 4:40 adds that Yeshua and His disciples stayed there for “two days”. Most references to days say “a few days” or “several days” or “many days”. But a specific number usually has special meaning, such as the “eight days” in John 20:26.The deeper meaning in a nutshell is that the Good Samaritan represents the Messiah. He paid “two dinarii” to an inn keeper to take care of the man. Then He left for two days promising to return. Both the “two days” and the “two dinarii” represent two millennial days. Where I differ with the writer now is the ending date of 2028, which I can no longer accept.
Daniel 12 is entirely about three separate countdowns that all culminate in “the fulfillment of these wonders” when “all these things will be finished”. Specifically, Daniel was told that he “and arise to your compensation, at the end of the days [age]” (v.13). Understanding when “the end of the days” or “countdowns” takes place should certainly be intriguing to the cherished ones (saints). Following Daniel 12:13 below is a commentary on how all of these dates are likely to apply prior to the Jubilee.
Daniel 12:1-10 “AT THAT TIME, Michael will take a stand, the great leader who stands for your 'fellow Israelites', and there will be a time of trouble [the great Tribulation, worse than 536 A.D, The Worst Year In History], such as there has never been since the first nation up until that time, AND AT THAT TIME [during the “time of the end!”] your people will be rescued, everyone whose names are still found {niphal} recorded in the Book [of Life]. 2 Multitudes of people sleeping in the dust of the earth will awaken, some of them to everlasting life, and the others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. 4 But Daniel, keep this message a secret, and put a seal on the book until the time of the end. Many will travel around quickly, and knowledge will greatly increase [Hebrew shoot!]” 5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and there were two others standing there. One was on the bank of the river on this side, and one on the opposite bank of the river.” 6 One asked the man dressed in linen, who was hovering above the river water, ‘How long will it be until the end of these miracles?’ [1] 7 I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the water of the river, when he raised his right and left hands toward heaven, and swore by the One who lives forever that it will be for a time, [a year], times [2 years], and half a time [1/2 a year], and when they’ve made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the 'chosen' people, all of these things will be finished.” 8 I heard, but I didn’t understand, so I asked, “Master, what will be the end result of these miracles?” 9 He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the matter is secret and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will purify and refine themselves, but the wicked will continue to be wicked, and none of the wicked will understand, but those with discernment will understand.
Daniel will arise at the end of these countdowns!
(During the “time of trouble” a faithful remnant will be protected in Yehovah’s “Tabernacle” until the time of the first resurrection.)
Psalm 27:5 In the time of trouble He’ll protect me secretly in His pavilion. In the secret place of His tabernacle He’ll hide me. He’ll set me high on a ROCK. [See New Jerusalem, a Place of Safety!—Surviving the Great Tribulation.]
The 1,260 Day Message
The “Two Witnesses Chapter” tells us plainly what the 1,260 day period is. For whatever reason these months will be 30 day months:
Revelation 11:2-3 But don’t measure the courtyard outside of the Temple. Leave it out, because it has been given to the heathens, and they’ll trample the special city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 I’ll commission My Two Witnesses. They’ll prophesy for 1,260 days, wearing sackcloth.
Their incredible message that lasts precisely 1,260 days (Revelation 11:3-15) is revealed to Israel beginning on day one of the Great Tribulation (Revelation 11:3, 7-11,15). These forty-two months, or three and one half years, are the second half of the final seven year long shemitah cycle preceding the final Jubilee of this millennium. Together, these 1,260 day periods comprise the final week of the seventy weeks prophecy, with a Pentecost-like 50th day ending the grand cycle (Daniel 9:24-27; Leviticus 25). The final horrible period begins with the invasion of foreign kings into Jerusalem in what I expect will be the fall of 2027 AD!
What might be the first mighty sign of the end of the age? Has 42 months ever been a 1,260 day period? Not since 747 BC! This is addressed in THE YEAR OF 360 DAYS. Because Yehovah gave us the exact number of days of the Great Tribulation and said that this was the equivalent of 42 months, it seems likely that Yehovah might make a fix to the heavenly clock as a miraculous sign, such as by a close encounter of the earth with wormwood (Revelation 8:11)! Daniel, being precise, indicated that there was a 3½ year countdown associated with the 1,290 day countdown (Daniel 12:7-12). The earth will speed up and make its circuit around the sun in 360 days, correcting the five day discrepancy (5/365) of twelve perfect 360 day years. That in itself would impress thinking people, but a much more impressive “sign” accompanying that sign would be the institution of the different orbit of the “two great lights”. With only a five degree adjustment we would have total monthly lunar eclipses marking every New Moon (the other 5/360 fractional adjustment). Full monthly solar eclipses, accompanying thirty day lunar cycles would shock the world. As Yehovah said:
Genesis 1:14-15 Then Yehovah said, “There should be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, they should be for signs [of things to come], and Appointed Festivals [not seasons], days and years, 15 to serve as lights in the expanse of sky to provide light on the earth.” And it was so.
The Hebrew word for “signs” often means “miraculous signs”. Sure we understand that the sun and moon and stars are for marking “days”, “years” and “seasons”, but what about the first reference to “signs”! Miraculous signs in the heavens occur when the heavenly bodies stop doing what is “normal”!
The 1,290 day countdown indicates that a very important occurance will take place thirty days prior to the beginning of the Great Tribulation, since there is no spare month between the Great Tribulation and the Day of Yehovah. Here is what that 30 days precedes:
Daniel 12:11 From the time that the continuous burnt ze’bakim [sacrifices] are abolished, and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
Prior to the second half of the 70th week, some of the wise will be able to positively discern that they must flee immediately. They must pray that their flight won’t be during “winter” (Matthew 28:20) because, under these trying times, a thirty day delay is going to present a serious challenge! Among other things a serious multi national military threat will wipe out those lacking the faith to flee. It may be reminiscent of when Israel was between the Egyptian army and the Red Sea. Those escaping will likely be severely tested at this time.
There is no direct explanation for the last period of time, but there are two major clues:
Daniel 12:12-13 Blessed are those who wait for and attain the 1,335 days [1]. 13 But go your way until the end, because you will remain resting, and arise to your compensation, at the end of the days [age].
[1] On the surface “the end of the days” appears to mean that Daniel would arise at the end of the 1,335 days. But that flatly contradicts Matthew 24. It doesn’t mean that. (Interestingly, the other place usually translated as “the end of the days” refers to the end of the seven year period when Nebuchadnezzar lived as a wild beast, Daniel 4:34.) Actually, the phrase “the end of the days” used in this context means the same thing that all eight instances of the “last days” refer to in the Bible, and all eleven references to the “latter days” means “the end of the age”.
The clues that we have for this countdown are that some are “blessed” and that they “wait”. This indicates that there may be two departure times for the Israelites who are to escape. One group has to fly madly like a bat out of, um, a cave, to escape. The other group, having 45 days more advance notice (1,335 days before the end), are indeed fortunate because they will leisurely depart, blessed with time, among other things! They will be able to wait in a secure place for the gathering storm to pass! (Here is what I was taught for years—no allowance for the Jubilee year, and a church rather than chosen refugee Israelites destined for Israel.)
The Bible is filled with prophecies about scattered Israelites of all 12 tribes (currently oblivious to their national identities) enduring a time of punishment, being tested by fire to prepare the select (“elect”) survivors for acceptance into a millennial expanded nation being literally born in a day (Isaiah 66:7-9) once Messiah returns.
The Time of Jacob’s Trouble describes this time period when Jacob’s descendants “the lost 10 tribes of Israel” lose everything because they never accepted the true Biblical Yeshua.
Here is an article closely examining the Book of Revelation that makes an absolutely wonderful distinction between the Great Tribulation https://revelationscriptures.com/the-hour-of-trial-testing/ and the Day of Yehovah, (not that they mentioned the connection they made)! It would be perfect if it weren’t for a serious case of mistaken identity! The Great Tribulation is all about the nations of the world conquering the modern Israelite nations (mostly English speaking) tribes (now nations) of the world. The “Hour of Trial” is the 6th Seal and the 7th Trumpet: The Day of Yehovah described in dozens of chapters of prophecy!
Many Christians believe that the 70th week of Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27) applies to them, even tho the first 69 weeks preceded Yeshua’s ministry. They believe that despite the fact that Daniel 9 states:
Daniel 9:24 “Seventy septad time periods [“weeks”] have been assigned for your [Israelite] people and your special city to end the rebellion, to put a stop to sin, to reconcile injustices, to usher in everlasting righteousness, to seal up the prophet’s vision and anoint the Most special One.
Once a RAPTURE DOES NOT HAPPEN multiple millions of Christians will begin to realize that most of them are not going to be spared the horrors of the Great Tribulation since they disregarded most of the Bible, particularly all of the books before Matthew! Yet they may survive after serious chastisement if they refuse the Mark of the Beast AND obey All 10 Commandments. They have NOT been done away with: Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12; Revelation 22:14; Matthew 15:3-9; Matthew 19:16-17; John 12:50
All Jews are Israelites but very few Israelites are Jews because of centuries of persecution against Judah. JACOB is another name for Israel and the TROUBLE is the Great Tribulation (Jeremiah 30:7) 70th Week”(Daniel 9:24-27).
Isaiah 52:9-12 Break out into shouts of joy, you ruined places of Jerusalem, because Yehovah has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 Yehovah has bared His special arm [for battle: Barnes] within view of all the nations, and all of the remotest parts of the earth have seen the deliverance of our Elohim. 11 Leave! Leave, get away from there! Touch nothing unclean! Get out of her ‘presence’! Cleanse yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Yehovah. 12 You won’t go out in a hurry, nor will you go as fugitives, because Yehovah will go before you, and the Elohim of Israel will be your rear guard.
This does not apply to the Daniel 12:12 above. This is a reference to the regathering of Israel, the second exodus, this time from modern Babylon at the end of the Tribulation “but righteous people are rescued by KNOWLEDGE.” (Proverbs 11:9)
The Two Witnesses will have warned the remaining cherished ones (meaning Israelites and/or true Believers) to watch for the invasion of Jerusalem in 45 days. These cherished ones will certainly by then understand the seven year countdown as well as the 2,000 year countdown!
Following these countdowns brings us to the point of Revelation 14 where the 144,000 stand “before Yehovah’s throne”, completing all of the countdowns. Our 1,260 days in the wilderness is over. Yehovah is now here with an agenda! “Babylon is fallen”, but the beast is still alive, (v.9). Other people are waking up, but it is also a time of martyrdom. “Blessed are the dead who die in Yehovah from now on.”
Jubilee Conditions Will Soon Take Humanity by Surprise!
Here is an observation from the book of Joshua that I heard from a friend. The point was to show a possible link between Yeshua’s resurrection and His return about two thousand years later. Perhaps it is not coincidental that the phrase “after three days” is mentioned fourteen times in reference to Yeshua’s resurrection. After three days He reminded His followers of the importance the mission that He had just finished in a most remarkable manner. Perhaps the modern day Levites will have possession of the ark of the covenant for three days or three years prior to the beast defiling the temple.
Joshua 3:1-13 Joshua got up early in the morning, and he and all the Israelites left Acacia Grove and went to the Jordan. They camped there before crossing over. 2 Then after three days, the officers went thru the camp, 3 and they commanded the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of Yehovah your Elohim and the priests and the Levites carrying it, you must break camp and follow them. 4 You must keep a space between you and them of about 2,000 cubits in length. Don’t come near them to find out which way to go, because you haven’t passed this way before.” 5 Joshua told to the people, “Dedicate yourselves, because tomorrow Yehovah will do amazing things among you.” 6 Joshua said to the priests, “Pick up the ark of the covenant, and cross over ahead of the people.” So they picked up the ark of the covenant and left ahead of them. 7 Yehovah told Joshua, “Today I’ll begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they’ll know that I’m with you, just like I was with Moses. 8 Order the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the banks of the Jordan River, go and stand in the river.’” 9 Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here, and listen to the words of Yehovah your Elohim.” 10 Joshua said, “Here is how you’ll really know that the living Elohim is among you, and that He’ll force out the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites ahead of you. 11 Watch the ark of the covenant of the Sovereign of the entire earth as it crosses over before you into the Jordan! 12 Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 Once the priests who carry the ark of Yehovah, the Sovereign of the entire earth, set foot in the water of the Jordan, the flow of water of the Jordan will be cut off and the water flowing from upstream will stop and stand up like a wall.”
Might “the soles of the feet” of the priests above have to do with Yeshua standing on the Mount of Olives again—two thousand years after the fulfillment of the first sixty nine “weeks” of the seventy weeks prophecy, Satan’s advance will be stopped like the Jordan river was.
Joshua 3:17 The priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Yehovah stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan as all Israel crossed over on dry ground until the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan.
The ark of the covenant definitely has something to do with end time prophecy:
Revelation 11:19 The Temple of Yehovah in the sky was opened, and the ark of His covenant was visible inside His Temple. There was lightning and thunder and voices, an earthquake and huge hail.
While the earthly ark may vanish, the heavenly original is where Yehovah resides!
Isaiah 37:16 Yehovah the Commander, the Elohim of Israel, the One who is enthroned among the cherubim, You alone are the Elohim of all the kingdoms of the earth. You’ve made heaven and earth.
There are other possible clues relating to “two thousand” in the following two Scriptures:
1 Kings 7:25-26 ‘The sea’ stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing toward the south, and three facing east. The sea was set on top of them, and their hindquarters faced the center. 26 It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was fashioned like the brim of a cup or a lily flower. It held two thousand baths [11,000 gallons].
Numbers 35:1-5 Yehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho. He said, 2 “Command the Israelites to give the Levites some of the property they’ll inherit for towns to live in and the pastureland surrounding them. 3 The towns will be for them to live in, and their pasturelands will be for their herds, flocks, and all their other livestock. 4 The pasturelands surrounding the towns that you give to the Levites will extend a thousand cubits [1,500 feet] from the town walls in every direction. 5 Measure outside of town on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the town in the center. This will belong to them as ‘agricultural land’ [Gill’s] for their towns.
The two witnesses will soon again “Proclaim the acceptable YEAR of Yehovah”!
What is the first thing that I expect to happen in 2023 or 2024? The first identifiable sign I expect to see is for the Daniel 9:27 contract to be agreed on with regard to Israel and the “prince” of verse 26. I anticipate this prince to be the Prince of Wales. On the same date, the first day of the first month, Aviv 1, I expect that a Tabernacle will be raised similar to what happened in Exodus 40, to serve as a temporary place to offer zebakim [sacrifices] until a Temple can be built. I also expect that the Beginning of Sorrows that Yeshua listed in Matthew 24 will begin to occur in a big way at this time. Then in in the fall of 2027 (3 1/2 years later) Jerusalem and the 'Special' Place will be defiled, followed by 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation, then the year of (Isaiah 34 (especially v.8), Joel 2).
I was astonished (in 2017) to find this decades old analysis of end time prophecy by Ernest Martin, his last work. But I was equally surprised that he did not consider the next Jubilee, the very backbone of this chapter as evidence. I’ve linked to other parts of his site for years! He came up with 2027/2028 as the end of the age by starting in Genesis which I believe is impressively close. He used the common Jewish practice of beginning the year in the 7th month, rather than the Exodus 12:2 first month of the year standard,(a practice adopted in Babylonian captivity). Nevertheless, all of the important events of the final Jubilee year of the age will happen within the first seven months (and Seven Feasts) of one year, so I expect Yehovah and His Son to conquer the world in 2031/2032 with five months to spare!
Chapter 16 is Will the Universe Be Destroyed?
