Dear Doves,

 

When determining a Jubilee Year we know that the 49th Sabbatical year must be evenly divisable by the # 7 just as the # 49 is evenly divisable by seven. Therefore all Sabbatical years, which is the year preceding the 50th Jubilee Year,  must be evenly divisable by the #7 to qualify as a Sabbatical year, but not the Jubilee Year itself.

 

The Hebrew civil year 5775 which begins on Tishri 1, the Feast of Trumpets in the Fall of 2015, is a Sabbatical year because 5775 is evenly divided by the #7 = 825 Therefore, by definition, the following 50th year 2016 can be a Jubilee Year. I believe that it is.

 

Likewise, seven years later the Hebrew civil year 5782 beginning on Tishri 1, the Feast of Trumpets in the fall of 2022 can also be a 49th Sabbatical year because 5782 is evenly divided by the #7 = 826 Therefore, by definition, the following 50th year 2023 can also be a Jubilee year. I believe that is beyond the length of one Biblical generation.

 

Carrying on with that sequence every seven years you can identify possible 49th Sabbatical years and 50th Jubilee year following into the future.

 

 

Come Lord Jesus!
