"Will the Rapture be during a Sabbath Rest Year and His Return (2nd Coming) during a Jubilee Year, 8 Years Later?"


I found it interesting in Zelma P.'s post:

That when Jesus returns and draws all the tribes to Him in Israel, that by definition would be a jubilee year, according to a learned Rabbi.  However, that Rabbi's opinion was that at present we don't know the next jubilee year.
 
So, continuing the thoughts of:

This would also mean that if the 2nd coming is during the 2015-2016 Jewish year and Jesus draws all the 12 tribes to Him, that not only does it look like this would line up past known jubilee's, but by definition of a Rabbi, this would also make that year a Jubilee by the fact of His coming.  He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  What perfect closure.
 
What also struck me was that if the Rapture was this 2007-2008 Jewish year how perfect would it be that this was a Sabbath rest year where we would enter the rest provided by our Kinsman Redeemer, our Lord, our Husband, for 7 days (years) that parallel the 7 days of the Jewish wedding as recently cited in the post by Mark Copfer in, "The Final 3 Feasts of Israel"

And then 2014-2015 Jewish year would also be a sabbatical year, followed by the 2nd year of this 7 year cycle or 2015-2016 which would be a Jubilee year.  It amazes me regarding the possibility of the Rapture being during a Sabbatical year and at the same time the 2nd Coming being during a Jubilee year, 8 years later.
 
Shalom!
