Interestingly, the Encyclopedia Judaica points out that the sages of Israel IN EVERY PERIOD saw a link between the Jubilee and the Sabbatical years with the laws regarding emancipation of slaves, remission of debts, and prohibition of land cultivation. The Jubilee WAS THE CAPSTONE of them all.

Says the Encyclopedia Judaica:

“They reckoned the historical order and the end of time by Sabbatical years and Jubilees: ‘Israel counted 17 Jubilees from the time they entered the land to the time they left it’ (Ar.12b). Elijah told Judah, the brother of Sala Hasida, ‘The world will endure not less than 85 Jubilees and ON THE LAST JUBILEE the Son of David will come’ (Sanh.97b).

The precept of the Jubilee is often regarded as one of the basic precepts of the Torah. ‘And its seven lamps thereon’ (Zech.4:2) is interpreted as referring to the seven precepts – offerings, tithes, shmittot, Jubilees, circumcision, honoring of father and mother, and study of the Torah which excels them all’ (PR 8.4). The continued dwelling in the land was dependent upon the observance of the shmittah and the Jubilee (Shab. 33a)” (ibid., 581).

Looking again at the prophecy.

Elijah’s Amazing Prophecy

Note, first of all, the prophetic words of Elijah: “Elijah told Judah, the brother of Sala Hasida, ‘The WORLD will endure not less than 85 Jubilees, and on the last Jubilee the Son of David will come’” (Talmud, Sanh.97b).

This passage from the Talmud quotes the words of ELIJAH THE PROPHET. He stated quite clearly that the Messiah the Son of David will come on the last Jubilee!

What does “not less than 85 Jubilees” mean? 85 Jubilees would be a period of 4250 Years (85 x 50).

The “world” Elijah was speaking of was most likely “this present evil world.” The Bible speaks of the “world that then was,” the pre-Flood world, and “the world that now is,” this present world – the post-Flood world. The post-Flood world began in the year 2344 B.C.

But at some time after the new post-Flood world began, the population of the earth began to go astray. When did the Great Rebellion occur?

The Days of Peleg

This “division” and disaster, due to man’s rebellion, occurred during the life of Peleg. Since 2243 B.C. was the very year of the birth of Peleg, whose very name means “division,” his birth was a prophecy of the rebellion which would occur during his days. The Days of Peleg

Something very monumental occurred during the life span of Peleg. We read in Genesis, “To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg [“division’], for in his days the earth was divided” Genesis 10:25.

Eber was 34 when he begat Peleg in 2243 B.C. Peleg lived 239 years and died in 2004 B.C. (Jasher 10:1).

The division of the earth occurred because of the sin of the tower of Babel. Therefore the tower of Babel construction, and destruction, and division of the earth, occurred during the time of Peleg.

The Tower of Babel

“And king Nimrod reigned securely, and all the earth was under his control, and all the earth was of one tongue and words of union. And all the princes of Nimrod and his great men took counsel together . . . and they said to each other, Come let us build ourselves a city and in it a strong tower, and its top reaching heaven, and we will make ourselves famed, so that we may reign upon the whole world, in order that the evil of our enemies may cease from us, that we may reign mightily over them, and that we may not become scattered over the earth on account of their wars” (Jasher 9:20-21).

The Great Rebellion against God, after the Flood, then, occurred during the life-span of Peleg! You can read the Biblical account of this event in Genesis 11:1-9

Elijah’s Prophecy Revisited

Now, let’s pick up once again with the prophetic words of Elijah: “Elijah told Judah, the brother of Sala Hasida, ‘The world will endure not less than 85 Jubilees, and on the last Jubilee the Son of David will come’” (Talmud, Sanh.97b). Elijah the prophet stated quite clearly that the Messiah the Son of David will come on the last Jubilee year!

If we count this time period of 85 Jubilees from the first year of Peleg, whose name means “division,” as the beginning of the rebellion, and the prophecy of “division,” then the period of 85 Jubilees prophesied by the prophet Elijah would be 85 x 50 years. 85 x 50 = 4250 years

The year Peleg was born was 2243 B.C. Counting from this date:

4250 (85 Jubilees)

-2243 (Peleg’s birth, beginning of rebellion)

2007

+1 (no year zero)

2008 A.D.

Notice! This count brings us to this present year – 2008 A.D.!!!

Thus counting from the prophecy of the tower of Babel rebellion in the time of “Peleg,” and calculating from that date, 2243 B.C., the year Peleg was born and the earth was “divided,” we find that 85 Jubilee periods brings us to 2008 A.D.!!! Also 6,000 years or 120 jubilee cycles from the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden would also terminate on 10 Tishri 2008 A.D. – this very year!
