Hello John and Doves,
In this letter I wrote about
the 2025 Catholic Jubilee Year and the 2025 biblical Jubilee
Year.
It looks like we are in the
70th Jubilee Cycle since Joshua crossed the Jordan River
into the Promised Land.
That 70 sounds
'significant'. Will we enter the "messianic era" this
Jubilee?
"There's something special
about the number 70...The Torah lists 70 descendants of Noah
after the Great Flood...From here the sages learn that
humanity comprises 70 nations. 70 members of Jacob's
family traveled to Egypt. The Sanhedrin had 70
leaders. God told Moses to gather 70 elders to stand
with him. There was 70 years of Babylonian
exile. The span of a human life is 70 years.
In this letter I also wrote
about Pope Francis latest health update. We have had
no actual 'proof of life', they are saying he is stable -
after 30 days in the hospital. Pope Francis declared
2025 a Jubilee Year and started the opening celebrations
last December with the 'rite of opening of 5 Holy Doors'.
Pope Francis Health
Update and His Jubilee Year:
A Vatican report was
released March 15 on Pope Francis' health:
This is his 30th day in the
hospital. His clinical condition "continues to remain
stable" and "confirms the progress made over the last
week." He's still on a high-flow of oxygen and "needs
hospital medical therapy."
"As on previous Sundays, the
pope will not appear in his hospital window tomorrow
(Sunday), instead sending a written Angelus message that the
Vatican will release at noon on Saturday, March 16."
The article noted, "he
continues to govern the church from the hospital."
There is not an expected
update until March 18 or 19.
There are some that think
the pope is deceased - and that evil powers within the
Vatican are trying to consolidate their power to take over
and appoint the next pope.
This year is a Catholic
Jubilee Year. It started on Christmas Eve, December 24
with "the opening of the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica
in the Vatican..." Three other doors were opened
later: St. John Lateran on December 29, St. Mary Major
on January 1 and St. Paul's Outside the Walls on January
5. Rebibbia Prison Holy Door was opened on December
26. "The doors represent the passage to salvation..."
"At the end of a holy year, the Holy Doors are formally
closed and then bricked over by masons."
10
things to know about Jubilee 2025, the Holy Year that
begins Dec. 24 - Catholic Review
These "Catholic" Jubilees
were created as a 'copy' of the Jewish Jubilees. Is it
a coincidence that 2025 is a Jubilee for both the Catholic
and our Watchman's calculations?
The Jewish Jubilee:
"Each coming Year
of Jubilee is announced by shofar blasts on Yom Kippur
in the 49th year of the Jubilee cycle. Then the Year
of Jubilee starts about 6 months later, on the 1st day of
the 1st month of the 50th year (1st year of the next 49 year
cycle). (The 50th year overlaps with the 1st year of
the next 49 year cycle.)
"And you shall pass a shofar
of blasting in the Seventh Month on the tenth of the month:
on the Day of Atonement, you shall pass a shofar throughout
all your land." Leviticus 25:9
"God told Moses to start the
49 year Jubilee cycle "when you enter the land" that I am
giving you." Also, "the land itself must observe a
Sabbath to the Lord." Leviticus 25:2 In
Leviticus 25, the Hebrew people were told how to count the
Jubilee. "And thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of
years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of
the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and
nine years." Leviticus 25:8
Looks like the Lord was
telling them to start the Sabbath years count "when you
coming into the land which I give you, then shall the land
keep a sabbath unto the Lord." Leviticus 25:2 That is,
when they crossed the Jordan River. That anniversary
date is the 10th day of the 1st month (Nisan).
It is historically accepted
that the year that Joshua and the people crossed the Jordan
River into the Promised Land was 1406 BC - specifically on
the 10th day of the first month: 28 April, 1406
BC.
In this article, 'historical
evidence' shows that the Spring of the year 1406 BC was when
they entered the Promised Land. This would mean the
counting for the Jubilee Cycle began the year the Israelites
entered the Promised Land, and that the Jubilee Year was
every 49 years."
"Three major studies on the
Jubilee Cycle all concluded that the cycle lasted 49 years."
"Based on this 1406 BC start
date and a 49 year Jubilee cycle, the 70th Jubilee year
anniversary will start on Day 1 on the Biblical Calendar,
.... on March 30 (Jewish lunar calendar) in 2025."
When
is the Next Year of Jubilee? The 70th!
The 70th Jubilee
Cycle:
This calculates out to be
the 70th Jubilee cycle. March 30, 2025. 1
Nisan. Joshua crossed the Jordan on 10 Nisan, that
would be April 8 on the chabad calendar.
Renewedmoon.org believes the sighted new moon of the next
month will be on March 30th from Israel. So that would be 1
Nisan.
This is the 70th Jubilee of
the Jews in the Promised Land. Will this jubilee be
significant for the Jews? I believe it will be.
Is this 70th cycle 'the end'
for mankind and we are soon to enter the "messianic era"
after the Tribulation? Would the date to watch be on 1
Nisan (March 30) or 10 Nisan (April 8) (using the chabad
calendar)? I've got both marked on my calendar.
(And 10 Nisan is the day Jesus rode the donkey into
Jerusalem - and, I believe, the prophetic clock stopped and
will one day start again.)
As for Pope Francis, we have
not had a 'sign of life' for weeks. IF a pope is the
False Prophet - God will be getting him into position.
God is getting all the players in place for the start of the
Tribulation.
Can't be far off now!
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
