Hi Ron,You would have to ask the posters at 5doves claiming that the Fall of 2025 starts the new Sabbatical cycle how they either arrived at their own calculations or what website did they get the information from. The two website links that I sent you from When is the next Sabbatical year? - Chabad.org and from What Is Shmita, the Sabbatical Year? | My Jewish Learning are both Jewish websites that claim the year 5789 on the Jewish calendar (Sept. 20, 2028–Sept. 9, 2029) will be the next Sabbatical year.
Also there is an article by Gary W. Ritter at the Christian website Rapture Ready who states the same thing in his article atShemitah - Agenda 2030 - Tribulation Timing :: By Gary W. Ritter - Rapture Ready which I have partially copied and pasted below:"A sister in Christ sent me the link to an interesting teaching the other day. The video discusses God’s decree that at the end of each 7-year Shemitah period, the Israelites were to forgive their fellow Jews all their debts and let their land lie fallow. You know from reading the Old Testament that Israel failed badly to obey the Lord in this regard. This had consequences."
"One of the points the teacher made in his message – that you can see at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtvLKayBiXQ&t=10s – is that the Jewish year of 5782, which is known on our western calendar as 2021-2022, is the seventh year of the Shemitah cycle, i.e., we’re currently in a Shemitah year. (According to Mark Blitz in the video, Shemitah years on the Jewish calendar are evenly divisible by seven.). The date correlates with what Jonathan Cahn wrote in his 2014 book The Mystery of the Shemitah."
"When Cahn’s book was published, the Jewish year of 5775 equated to the 2014-2015 period on our calendar."
"Carrying the cycle forward, the next Shemitah will be in 5789, or as we know it, in 2028-2029. Also, the last year in the 7-year cycle from our western perspective always includes the following year. Thus currently, 2022 teams with 2023 as the first year in the next sequence of years, and the new Shemitah cycle after that will begin in 2029-2030. To make this a little clearer, this abbreviated Shemitah chart may help:
1st Year 7th Year
— 2014-2015 (5775)
2015-2016 (5776) 2021-2022 (5782)
2022-2033 (5783) 2028-2029 (5789)
2029-2030 (5790) 2035-2036 (5796)
2036-2037 (5797) —
FULL article at above link.
I read the transcript of Mark Biltz's above video at (2) The Lord's Soon Return - YouTube and at the 32:42 minute mark on his video he states that we know that the Jewish year of 5782 was a Shemitah yr. (Sabbatical yr.) because 5782 is divisible by the #7 so 5789 is the next Shemitah yr. (Sabbatical yr.) which is always the 7th year of a 7 yr. Shemitah cycle. At the 32:58 minute mark he goes on to say that the first year of the tribulation period has to begin the first yr. of a Shemitah cycle which is on the Feast of Trumpets also known as Rosh Hoshanah. Since the year 5789 on the Jewish calendar (Sept. 20, 2028–Sept. 9, 2029) will be the next Sabbatical year, it means Sept. 9, 2029 on the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets at sunset the Jewish yr. of 5790 would begin and it would begin the 1st yr. of a 7 yr. Shemitah cycle and the Jewish Year of 5796 would be the 7th yr. which will be a Sabbatical yr. of a 7 yr. Shemitah cycle.

Thank you, Donna, as you are the only one who has answered my post. I am still not sure why this website is saying the Fall of 2028 starts the next Sabbatical cycle, yet so many on 5 Doves are claiming that the Fall of 2025 starts the new Sabbatical cycle. If you have any insights on this, Donna, please let me know.
Maranatha!

In your 11/24 post Let's take a close look at December 1, 2025, as the potential date to start the 2520-day Tribulation you asked when is the next sabbatical year. According to the article at When is the next Sabbatical year? - Chabad.org the year 5789 on the Jewish calendar (Sept. 20, 2028–Sept. 9, 2029) will be the next Sabbatical year. A Sabbatical year is always the 7th year which is a year of rest. If the tribulation period is actually 7 years long, it is more likely that it would begin in the 1st year of the 7 year period called a week of years and end in the 7th year Sabbatical year which is a year of rest. The article at What Is Shmita, the Sabbatical Year? | My Jewish Learning also states that the next sabbatical year begins on Sept.20, 2028.
The last sabbatical year or 7th year was 5782 which was 9/06/2021 through 9/25/2022.
An article published by J.R. Church on Sept. 1981 called Sabbatical Year | Prophecy in the News states "there was a widespread belief in ancient Judaism, that the coming of the Messiah, would take place during the season when Israel celebrated the sabbatical year."
