"The seventy sevens timeframe is a linear prophecy"

 

Hello, John and Doves,

 

The seventy sevens timeframe is a linear prophecy.

 

With much information borrowed from:

[Didn’t happen; go figure!  And that’s what I did!]"

We start counting the Jubilees at the grape harvest of 2346, during the Fall of 1416 BC, when Joshua and Caleb entered the promised land for the first time along with the 10 faithless spies, right before the 40 years of wandering.

In fact, 1416 BC [during the spring of which was the Exodus] fits neatly between the early and late dates for the Exodus favored by various and sundried historians.

 

Seeing that 2345 (= 7 X 335) was a Sabbath year of release from personal debt, it is logical for 2346 [begun in the Fall of 1416 BC], to have been a type of Jubilee year, in which the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob could have been won decisively.

 

We say this because history seems to favor the spring of 1375 BC [the Jewish year 2385 having started in the fall of 1376 BC] as the year when the Children of Israel conquered Jericho.  We observe that the spring of 1375 BC was still a part of the Jewish year of 2385.  The fall of 1416 BC—the beginning of 2346—counted as the first year of the 40—thereby requiring the addition of 39 years to get to the fortieth year of wandering.  Counting from the crossing of the Jordan River in the spring of 2385, the spring of the 40th year, the Israelites took 10 years to conquer the land, because it was that long until the 1st Jubilee year of 2395, beginning in the fall of 1367 BC—the last part of 2385 still having to be counted as the first of those ten years leading up to—but not including—2395.  So then, 69 Jubilees after 2395 [the first Jubilee] is 5776 [=2395 + 69 X 49].

 

The Jubilees start after the very first count of 49 years ends, on the 10th day of the 50th year [which 50th year is also the first year in the 49 year count leading up to the next Jubilee].  This day, 10 Tishrei, is a Jewish Holiday, the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. The strict 49 year count [in which the 50th year is also the first year of the next count of 49 years], from the first Jubilee forward, preserves the Sabbath (Shmita) year rule.

 

The counting started in the Jewish year which began in the fall of 1416 BC, the start of 2346.  Each of the Jubilee years is the first year in the count up to the next Jubilee.

Thus we make some observations:

1. The strict 49 year count preserves the Shmita years.

2. 2346 + 70X7 Sabbath year counts = 2346 + 3430 = 5776.

3. The 70th Jubilee Year, 5776, should see the Parousia [arrival, appearing]

of the King of Righteousness. [Daniel 9:24]

 

What are the dates of the 70 Jubilees?

The Jubilees clock began ticking in the fall of 1416 BC [the start of 2346], when the

two faithful spies, Joshua and Caleb, set foot in the Promised Land.  Every 49 years subsequently—

not counting the 50th year, except as the first year of 49—another Jubilee year has occurred, thus

preserving the strict Sabbath year count.

Jubilee Starts in 2015!

The final Jubilee will begin on the Day of Atonement in 2015.

(September 23, 2015 – Yom Kippur). There will have been 40 complete Jubilee cycles following Christ’s death. Isn’t that interesting? There are so many 40’s in the Bible and 40 is a significant number to God. The 40 Jubilees after Christ’s death bring us to the end of probationary time. After 2015 there will be no more opportunities for people living today to repent and receive eternal life.

 

“Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people” is a dual prophecy [Daniel 9:24].

It has two fulfillments.

First in historical fulfillment, the 70 "sevens" are 70 sabbatical cycles. They are

483 years [=(7 + 62) X 7], pointing to the first coming of Jesus as our Savior from

sin, plus 7 years (=1 X 7) at some later time, for what has come to be known as “Daniel’s 70th week.”

 

It is written,

25“Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.

26After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.

Daniel 9:25-26

 

Second, yet to be fulfilled as of this writing, the 70 "sevens" are 70 Jubilee cycles.

They are 3,430 years, pointing to the second coming of Jesus when His people will be permanently freed from sin.

 

It is written,

24“Seventy ‘sevens’c are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish

transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

Daniel 9:24

 

As well you know, “everlasting righteousness” firstly applies to Jesus Christ himself.

 

Secondly, it is written,

6For a child is born to us,

a son is given to us.

The government will rest on his shoulders.

And he will be called:

Wonderful Counselor,d Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7His government and its peace

will never end.  He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity.  The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies [YHVH Tsevaot] will make this happen!

Isaiah 9:6-7

 

In the fall of 2015 the six millennia of sin on earth will come to an end!

Between 2008 and 2014, we have seen much tribulation.  Come 2015, many Bible prophecies will be fulfilled!

 

Jesus is King for 40 ½ Jubilee counts.

Jesus died in 33 AD in an acceptable year (4th Shmita year—a year in which

personal debts are forgiven) in the midst of the 30th Jubilee cycle. There were

40-3/7 Jubilee cycles yet to occur to complete the total of 70.

When Jesus was resurrected He was taken to heaven to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords [a distinctly human title, since the name of HaShem is ADONAI Sabaoth—YHVH of Hosts] with God on His throne.  Jesus ascended to heaven in 33 AD and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

It is written,

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Hebrews 12:2

 

When Jesus comes the second time to get His people He will have reigned in heaven as king for 40 3/7 Jubilee cycles. He will have reigned from 33 AD – 55 AD (3/7 Jubilee cycle) and from 55AD – 2015 AD (40 Jubilee cycles) for a total of 40 – 3/7 Jubilee cycles.  We can round this up to 40 ½ Jubilee cycles.

David reigned over the children of Israel as their king. Notice how long David

reigned as king:

 

“And they anointed David king over Israel. David was thirty years

old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.”

2 Samuel 5:3-5

 

David reigned in Hebron 7 ½ years and in Jerusalem 33 years for a total of 40 ½ years.  David was a type of Jesus and David’s throne was given to Jesus after His resurrection.

 

“And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Luke 1:31-33

 

David reigned as king on earth for 40 ½ years.

Jesus will reign as king in heaven for 40 ½ Jubilees.

 

From Canaan to Canaan

The 70 Jubilees clock began when the children of Israel entered Canaan, the land God had promised them. The 70 Jubilees clock will end when God’s people enter

heavenly Canaan, the land God has promised them. From earthly Canaan

to heavenly Canaan is 70 Jubilees.

 

What will happen at the final Jubilee in 2015?

The final Jubilee will begin on the Day of Atonement in the year 2015.

Here are some of the many things that will happen:

The prophecy in Daniel 9:24 will meet its final and complete fulfillment.

Everlasting righteousness will be brought in for God's people

Sin will be brought to an end for God's people.

Transgression will be finished for God's people.

Vision and prophecy will be sealed up.

The earth will be returned to God - its rightful owner.

Anoint the Most Holy.

God will have permanently taken care of the disease of sin for His people.

Daniel’s prayer will have received a complete answer. Within days, Jesus will

come to earth the second time to take His people back to heaven with Him, and the earth will begin its 1,000 years of rest.

 

What do I need to do right now, in…2014?

God has been patient and merciful to the human race for almost 6,000 years since we first sinned. Yet we continue to become more sinful and more rebellious.

We are very near the time when the wrath of God will be poured out on all of us

who refuse to repent and worship Him.

God has given each of us the power of choice and a period of time on earth as

probation. This probationary period is an opportunity to repent and to have faith in Christ. My probation and your probation will end sometime between now and the end of 2015 and it may well be sooner rather than later. The most important thing we can do right now is to give ourselves completely to God in humility and repentance and by faith to receive Jesus as our personal Savior.

 

Now is the time to seek God, while He may be found. Now is the time to repent. Today is the day for salvation.

 

“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”

2 Corinthians 6:2

 

“Seek the LORD while He may be found,

Call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way,

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

Let him return to the LORD,

And He will have mercy on him;

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon.”

Isaiah 55:6-7

 

“Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

Hebrews 4:7

 

I invite you to accept Jesus as your personal Savior, right now! Ask Him to forgive your sins and thank Him for dying for you. Ask Jesus to teach you more of the truth from the Bible. I invite you to ask God for a humble, teachable, repentant spirit.

 

God is urgently calling you to repentance and wholehearted service for Him.

Probationary time will end first for those who already “have the truth”, for those who are of the “house of God”.

 

“For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?”

1 Peter 4:17

 

Dear reader, God loves you very much. He wants to live with you forever. I appeal to you to carefully consider your priorities and to choose today whom you will serve.  Now is the important time for each of us. We cannot wait until the fall of 2015 to get ready for Jesus to come. During the next few years Jesus Christ will judge every person on earth. For some of us, our probation will end today, for others it will be a few years. But everyone will make his final choice before the second coming of Jesus. Choose now to serve the Lord with your whole heart, soul, mind and Strength!

 

What will happen between 2014 and 2015?

The great tribulation will soon take place! People will be forced to decide whether or not they will worship God! There are many prophetic events that will take place in the next year! During this time the gospel will be clearly presented to every living person on earth. Each person will decide either to worship and serve God or to worship and serve Satan. Jesus will judge each person on earth. Those who choose Jesus will be completely delivered from the power of sin.

 

Many of us are used to living halfway to God. We profess to worship Him but we only do it half-heartedly. Our affections are partly with the world and partly with God. The time is upon us when we must make a whole-hearted decision one way or the other. Our affections can no longer be divided. God desires our whole heart.

 

Will we know in advance the year of Jesus' Second Coming?

Yes, we should. The prophecies in Daniel 9 first of all pointed to the first coming of Christ. The people who lived 2,000 years ago were supposed to know the time the Messiah would come.  Unfortunately, most of the Jewish leaders did not know or understand the prophecies.  But many of the common people were in expectation because they had knowledge of when the Messiah would come.

 

It is written,

“Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about

John, whether he was the Christ or not.”

Luke 3:15

 

But more importantly for us, the prophecies in Daniel 9 point to the Second

Coming of Christ. Those of us who are alive now are supposed to know when Jesus will come again.

 

As the apostle Paul says,

“But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.”

1 Thessalonians 5:4

 

What about not knowing the day and the hour?

This is a traditional phrase that many people know. It comes from Matthew

24:

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the

Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

Matthew 24:36-39

 

There are several points to notice:

The people in Noah’s day knew that they had 120 years to enter the ark. They knew when the 120 years was drawing to an end. But they did not know the hour or the day

that the door to the ark would be closed. They did not know when their last

opportunity would come to enter the ark.

 

Some of the people may have thought that if it started to rain then they would go into

the ark. But by the time the rain started it was too late. The door to the ark had already been shut and no one else could go in.

 

In the same way, we will not know ahead of time when the last possible moment is for

us to accept salvation and enter into Jesus, our ark of salvation. It will be by the fall of

2015, but it could be as soon as today. This is why it is so important to choose today to

repent toward God and to believe in Jesus Christ. The important time for us is not 2015, but now.

 

“Testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our

Lord Jesus Christ.”

Acts 20:21

 

Daniel 9:24 does not predict the day or the hour when the Son of man will come.  It only predicts the year and the season.

 

Did the sabbaticals and the Jubilees end at the cross?

No, because Jesus died in the middle of the "seven". He died in the middle of a …Jubilee cycle. He could not die in the middle of something that ended when He died.

The specific things that ended when Jesus died on the cross were the offerings and the

animal sacrifices. But the sabbatical clock and the Jubilee clock did not stop at the cross.

 

Is the Jubilee cycle 49 years or 50 years?

The Jubilee cycle is 49 years. Here are some of the reasons why:

The seventh-day Sabbath occurs on the seventh day of every week. It is not possible for some weeks to be eight days long. There are no weeks that have extra days added to them. Each week is exactly seven days long.

 

The seventh year sabbath occurs every seventh year. It is not possible for some

sabbatical cycles to be eight years long. There are no sabbatical cycles that have extra

years added to them. Each sabbatical cycle is exactly seven years long. So the 50th year Jubilee comes after the 7th year of a sabbatical cycle and is the 1st year of the next seven-year sabbatical cycle.

 

“Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people.”

Daniel 9:24

 

Each of the 70 seven-year periods of time was exactly seven years long. If Jubilee cycles were 50 years long, then every seventh sabbatical cycle would be eight years long instead of seven.  If Jubilee cycles were 50 years long Daniel 9:24 would have said: “Sixty ‘sevens’ and ten ‘eights’ are decreed for your people.” This prophecy

would have been 500 years long instead of 490 years long. The Messiah would have

come 10 years later.  If the Jubilee cycles were 50 years long then there would only have been 68 sabbath years during the 430 years of rebellion by God’s people. They would only have been sent into captivity for 68 years instead of 70 years.

 

Today is the day to choose to receive Christ fully and to abide in Him forever!

PLEASE!  Don't miss out on SALVATION!

AND DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!

 

SEE:

" What must you do to be saved and receive eternal life?"

 

IN SUMMARY: Make sure you are ready to go in The Rapture! Doves, I am not

going to miss The Rapture! This life is the final exam for eternity and I am passing and

taking as many as possible with me to Heaven.

Here is what I am doing on a daily basis to make sure I am counted worthy to make The

Rapture:

1.    I am saying these Repentance Prayers 3 times a day:

SEE THIS:  http://www.thelordshour.com/prayers-2/

 

2.    I am taking Personal Communion at least 5 times a day:

SEE THIS:  http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2012/bge117.htm

 

SEE YOU IN HEAVEN!
