As it is, the Yom
Kippur that begins the next Jubilee is
on 10 Tishrei 5776. This we know
from modern history alone.
1966-1967, 5727 on the Jewish calendar http://www.aish.com/jl/hol/o/48970511.html, was a
Jubilee year, because the Jews reclaimed
Jerusalem. In the ensuing years,
nothing comparable to this has
occurred, so the Jubilee year must have
been 5727. We look back from there
and find that the Balfour Declaration, 2
Nov, 1917, marked the Jubilee year of
5678. 5678 + 49 + 49 = 5776.
Since nothing comparable to the liberation
of Jerusalem and the Balfour Declaration
has happened in the last 99 years, we must
be correct in saying that 5678 and 5727
were Jubilee years. HaShem likes to
punctuate His calendar years.

For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is
he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matthew 23:39 KJV
Jesus quotes from Psalm 118,
the last Psalm in the Hallel.
Thus, within the Passover
Seder tradition [Psalms 115-118 are recited
after the meal] is the sure promise of His
coming again!
The Jubilee is always the
year after 7 properly counted shmita
years. 5775 divided by 7 equals
825. 5775 + 1 = 5776. The
proper counting of Jubilees is punctuated by
HaShem in these modern times, as noted
above. He is coming soon; and when He
comes, He will not tarry! Be ready at
all times, Doves!

Haba B'Shem Adonai!
