Hello OBVES. I read your posts with great interest. Your concept of
numbers is fascinating. I wanted to share my concept of the JUBILEES
with
you to see what you think.
70 WEEKS: We know 70 weeks are established in connection with the first
coming from 455 BCE to 36 CE. I believe everybody understands that
70-week
period.
70 weeks is 490 years. To that we all agree.
But a Jubilee celebrates the 50th year after a week of 49 years. Every 7
years there was an agricultural sabbath of rest, but after a series of 7
periods or 49 years, the 50th year was celebrated and there were two years
of rest. This 50th year, though, began a new set of 49 years.
So in that case, a period of 490 years is also a jubilee period of 10
jubilees!
Thus comes the concept of 70 JUBILEES.
Seven days of 70 weeks = 7 days of 490 years each.
So in that concept, it would only be necessary to determine which day of
the
week 455 BCE to 36 CE was in a week of 70 weeks. Was it the 1st day?
The third day?
Well, actually, it would have to be the third day in relation to the
nation
of Israel, because two days earlier, a period of 980 years, takes us all
the
way back to the time of the Exodus.
IF, though, 455BC-36CE is the THIRD DAY of the week, then the week would
occur from 1435 BCE to 1996 AD!!
Having noted that, since Christ arrives to fulfill the 70th week, we would
expect something significant to occur at he time of the 70th JUBILEE.
That is, if every 490 years is 10 jubilees, then 7 periods of 490 years is
70 jubilees. The 70th jubilee would be the very last 49 years. Thus the
70th week ending in 1996. In that case, the 70th jubilee began in 1947.
Two basic themes of the jubilee is restoration to one's inheritance and
freedom from bondage if you were sold into slavery. 1947 is significant
for
the Jews because it indeed was the year they regained control over their
promised. 1947 is the symbolic "end of the gentile times" and the end of
the Jewish exile. They had no land of their own before November 30, 1947
and after that, they did.
No way, therefore, is this a coincidence. The Bible speaks of the
"appointed times of the nations" and Daniel 12 speaks of the end of the
"da****ng of the holy ones to pieces" as ending 1290 days.
DANIEL 12:
"It will be for an appointed time, appointed times and a half. And as soon
as there will have been a fini****ng of the da****ng of the power of the
holy
people to pieces, all these things will come to their finish."
See? All things will come to a FINISH at the end of the "time, times and
half time." Only in this case, this period is 1290 days:
11 "And from the time that the constant [feature] has been removed and
there
has been a placing of the disgusting thing that is causing desolation,
there
will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 "Happy is the one who is keeping in expectation and who arrives at the
one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days!"
The disgusting thing causing desolation is a reference to the "da****ng of
the holy ones to pieces." The "time, times and half time" is
alternatively
applied to either 1260 days or 1290 days.
Luke speaks of an APPOINTED TIME of the nations. That APPOINTED TIME
would
end the 1290 days. At the end of those 1290 days, one would thus expect
the
Jews to become blessed again and end their exile. The exile of the Jews
is
thus directly connected with the end "apointed times of the nations."
That
is, when the Jews return to their homeland is when the appointed times of
the nations ends, thus the APPOINTED TIME ends when the Jews return to
their
home officially.
Thus, how appropriate the 70th jubilee week is celebrated by the Jews in
1947.
But please also note this: If every 490 years is 70 weeks, and the 70th
week is the last 7 years of each 490-years, then the 7th week of the
jubilee
of 1947-1996 is also the seventh 70th week of the 3430-year period.
That is 1989-1996 is the SEVENTH 70th WEEK!
Thus you have a golden op****tunity for the period of 1989-1996 to fulfill
both the 70th week and the 7th 70th week.
1989-1996 is also significant because it is the 490th week.
So you not only fulfill the 7th (1947-1996), the 70th (1506-1996) but also
the 490th (1435BCE-1996AD).
That's a lot of multiple of 7 and 10.
Could all of this focus on 1989-1996 to fulfill so many multiples of seven
mean that Christ's second coming fulfills this last 70th week?
That would seem to be the case since once you correct the NB timeline so
that the 1st of Cyrus occurs when it should, in 455 BCE, then we can
determine the fall of Jerusalem originally occurred in 529 BCE. That is,
70
years of exile for the last de****tees begins in year 23 of Nebuchadenezzar
in 525 BCE. (455+70=525) That means year 19 falls in 529 BCE, the year
Jerusalem falls. Then 2520 years after that gives us 1992.
1992 is significant in that it begin the mid year of the 70th week. That
is, the 4th week. In a period of seven weeks, the 4th week is the middle
week. It is right in the middle of 3 weeks on either end.
1989-1990 1st
1990-1991 2nd
1991-1992 3rd
1992-1993 4th - MIDDLE
1993-1994 5th
1994-1995 6th
1995-1996 7th
Also of note, if 1947 ends the 1290 days, then the messiah would arrive 45
years later, since "happy is the one keeping in expection of the 1335
days."
1290 + 45 = 1335. That gives you 1992 as well.
How appropriate, to celebrate the 70th jubilee, that their messiah appears
in the 7th year of their 70th jubilee!
Here's a chart showing you how significant 1947 really is:

So tell me OBVES, does any of this make any sense to you?
Thanks.
