Hello, John and Doves,
Charles, you've done it again!!
The shmitah year is indeed a ban on harvesting crops wholesale.
I have been feeling for the past few months that the Rapture must occur right between 29 Elul and 2 Tishrei!!
That would place Yeshua's shout directly on Yom Teruah, the Day of the Awakening Blast!~Blessings,
Mike Colunga
