Back in 2009 a sister in Christ had a vision while she was reading her Bible. She read Matthew 24:35-37 and it appeared as follows "35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. 36 "SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW." 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be."[Matt.24:35-37]

She read it like this 3 times. When she read it for the 4th time the text appeared as normal "35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. 36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." Matt.24:35-37]

When I came across this sister's vision in 2016, I thought that the Lord would definitely be coming for us that year! He didn't. Now, here we are, in 2018, and I've come to a much better understanding of her vision. I now know that the "seven years from now" text represents the last 7 years of Daniel's 49 year prophecy. And that in October 2009 the sister was being shown that the year of the Messiah the Prince would be in 2016. In hindsight I understand what this means. "So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks [that is, 49 Years]..." [Dan.9:25]

Israel regained control of the City of Jerusalem, for the first time in 2,000 Years, in the six day war of June 1967. It was this war that paved the way for the decree that Israel's Parliament issued on the 28th of June 1967. This is the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy with regards to the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. 1967-1968 was a Jubilee year which began on the 11th of April 1967 and ended on the 29th of March 1968. From 1967 we count 49 years to arrive at the year of the Messiah the prince. The 49th year started on the 9th of April 2016 and ended the following year on the 27th of March 2017. It was in the 49th year that the Messiah the Prince, the Lord Jesus Christ, sounded the Jubilee trumpet on the Day of Atonement on the 12th of October 2016!

The Jubilee STARTED 6 MONTHS LATER on the 28th of March 2017 and will END on the 16th of March 2018. This is the time-frame within which the Lord will return to take us with Him. "In my Father’s house are many places to live. If there weren’t, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you. Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with me; so that where I am, you may be also." [John 14:2,3]

"And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years [1967-2016]. Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day [12th October 2016] of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year [28th March 2017 -16th March 2018], and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you..." [Lev.25:8-11]
