"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 Thomas
