"Stefen Lopez (6 Aug 2010) matching the years of rest"
Brother Stefen, Your
calculations do match the Sabbatical Years, but why use 17460 (17640
correction?) days to figure the time span? If 1967 is a Jubilee then
2016 is a Jubilee. Isaac Newton correctly interpreted Daniel to give us
49 years (7x7) from the going forth to restore Jerusalem until the
return of Messiah the Prince. These could not be just any years they
had to be counted from the sabbatical cycle; in that, they were Weeks
of years according to the year of rest. I can only conclude that the
command came forth on the Day of Atonement 1966 and we have no record
of this event. This may have been tantamount to a declaration of the
coming Jubilee year. We are almost certain that in 1966 Israel made
their first two Atomic bombs and issued dosimeters to its troops in
August of that year. Was this the catalyst that gave Israel the
confidence to move forward with the plan to unify Jerusalem? If Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol gave the order to Moshe Dayan to retake Jerusalem
in the Fall of 1966 this scenario could be true ...YBIC ...Oliver
