Lauren and Cindy,
Lauren, I have cut and pasted from your “summer
fruit post”, I hope you don’t mind and have added the 858
Shmittah’s/sabbatical weeks for emphasis with the last paragraph also mine
(Debi).
An understanding of the current seven-year
Sabbatical week is essential in grasping the urgency of the times we
are living.
Adam and Eve were set-apart with God for
one sabbatical week: Tishri 1, year 1 to Elul 29, year 7 so we are completing
the last 7 years of the 6000 years appointed to man because the count
did not start till year 8. Therefore by adding 7 + 6000 the 858th Shmittah
ends on Elul 29 or September
29, 6008 having started
on September 18, 2001!
September 18, 2001
marked the arrival of the 858th Shmittah, or, sabbatical week as marked
off from Adams creation. 858 X 7 = 6006 years + 1 =
6007 years (1 BC to 1 CE add 1 year) It is the first Shmittah to fall
within this seventh millennium.
IS THIS SIGNIFICANT
There is not one number in God’s word
that is not without significance, I find it fascinating that Jubilee
years in each century (100 years) fell on the eighth and fifty-eighth
year and that this last sabbatical week is number 858!!
And look at this the 1st Jubilee
cycle of the seventh millennium falls on Yom Kippur or October 9, 6008, which will be year 8 and 6008 years
from creation if this count is correct.
We do serve an awesome God YSIC Debi
