The Absolute Yovel, or Jubilee, is YHWHs way of counting as opposed to mans. As we will see, history proves YHWHs timing and mans timing are two different things. The Jubilee happens once every 50 years, when land returns to its original owner and slaves are freed. The Jubilee is also a good metaphor for freedom and un-making the status quo when Yshua comes back. Lets see the Scripture 3
Foundations
Count off 7 Sabbaths of years -7 times 7 years -so that the 7 Sabbaths of years amount to a period of 49 years. Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the 7th month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land. Consecrate the 50th year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you. Each one is to return to his family property

Foundations
and each to his own clan. The 50th year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines. For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields. In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to his own property (Leviticus 25:8-13-NIV)

Foundations
'But if you say, "What are we going to eat on the seventh year if we do not sow or gather in our crops? Then I will so order My blessing for you in the 6th year that it will bring forth the crop for 3 years. 'When you are sowing the 8th year, you can still eat old things from the crop, eating the old until the 9th year when its crop comes in. (Leviticus 25:20-22 NAU)
6
Foundations
This is more proof of a 50 year cycle. The 7th Shabbat, or year 49, means the crops lie fallow. The same applies to year 50 the actual Jubilee, meaning the crops must last for 3 years as YHWH promises, but only if they keep the RIGHT year! Year 50 = 8th year, when you can sow for harvest on the 9th year, the first year of the new seven cycle!

Foundations
In Leviticus 18:24-28, Israel is warned they will be expelled from the land as the Canaanites were being expelled if they disobey. This actually is clarified in Leviticus 26:34: Then the land will enjoy its Sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate and you are in the country of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths. What this means is that if the Land Sabbath isnt kept, YHWH will make sure it gets made up by kicking Israel out. 8
Foundations
The Jubilee is the climax of the Land Sabbath cycle, the next step up from day = year reckoning. But the Jubilee is also keyed to when a large group of Israel enters Canaan. When the Northern Tribes went into Captivity, leaders in Judah assumed there were not enough Jews left in the Land to worry about Land Sabbath-Jubilee but they 9 were dead wrong
Foundations
He carried into exile to Babylon the remnant, who escaped from the swordThe land enjoyed its Sabbath rests; all the time of its desolation it rested, until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the word of YHWH spoken by Jeremiah. 2 Chronicles 36:20-21
10
Foundations
So YHWH punished both Israel and Judah, in part for not keeping the Land Sabbaths and Jubilees. But as the Scripture shows, YHWH begged Israel to obey and escape punishment, so His clock for their Jubilees began in 1405 BCE with the assumption of an eternal inheritance and therefore an eternal stay. That means
11
Foundations
YHWHs Jubilee Clock never stopped running while mans did!
12
Foundations
But first we need to go back to the beginning. Everything is keyed to the start of YHWHs Deliverance Cycle, or in plainer terms, the time of the Exodus. Fortunately, Scripture is abundant in its details to tell us not only the year of the Exodus, but the very day as well. First lets look at these direct time references 13 from the Scripture
All About YHWH's Jubilees and Shemittahs
In the 480th year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the 4th year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the 2nd month, that he began to build the house of YHWH. (1 Kings 6:1-NJB) Solomon then began building the house of Yahweh in Jerusalemon the 2nd day of the 2nd month of the 4th year of his reign. 14 (2 Chronicles 3:1-2 NJB)
Foundations
15
Foundations
There is near universal agreement among historians that Solomons 4th year was 967 BCE. This is based on the careful scholarship of E.R. Thiele (The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings) and many others. (W.S. La Sor, Old Testament Survey, 253, 292-7). These dates are further cross-referenced in Assyrian and Egyptian records, such as the well-documented invasion of Shishak.16
Foundations
Pharaoh Shishak threatened Judah in 1 Kings14:25-28 and his own records also detail the same campaign. This happened in Rehoboams 5th year, or 926 BCE, which is a milestone we can cleanly count backwards to Solomon! There is even more precise chronological information in 2 Chronicles 3:1: The 2nd day of the 2nd month of Ziv in Solomons 17 4th year.
Foundations
In 967 BCE, this brings us in Gregorian terms to April 16th for the exact day that Solomon began building the Temple! This level of precision again should not be surprising. The Scripture contains the actual records that were lovingly preserved from the most ancient times on forward. And there is extremely strong evidence that a literal approach was intended 18 because the data came from priests.
Foundations
The same priests who gave the Exodus date are also telling us the precise days, months and years that each king of Israel and Judah ruled, so why not also take them at face value on the date of the far more important Exodus date? That brings us to 1447 BCE as the year of the Exodus, and the day of the spring full moon was March 22nd. Then theres 40 19 years of wandering right after this.
Foundations
But, because this date of 1447 BCE is so critical, I am going to deal with additional evidence supporting the reign of Solomon as 971-931 BCE and the invasion of the Pharaoh Shishak into Israel and Judah in 926-925 BCE. First, lets correlate that invasion with data from the Biblical record: the 5th year of King Rehoboam (1 Ki 14:25, 2 Chr. 12:2) so we can see how Judah counted time! 20
Foundations
The Thiele system just mentioned is the most widely accepted chronological reckoning by far in scholarly community. However, there were a few very minor issues that Thiele himself said needed further attention but which he did not clarify prior to his death. For these minor issues another scholarLeslie McFallfurther refined the chronology so Thiele-McFall is what we call it now. 21
Foundations
In this system, the kingdoms of Judah and Israel counted time differently. The kingdom of Judah counted their years Tishri-Elul (fall to fall). They also fluctuated between counting from the part of a year that a king ascended to the throne (accession year reckoning) and from the next new years day of Tishri 1 as year 1 (non-accession 22 year reckoning).
Foundations
However, we also know the precise times that Judah fluctuated between accession and non-accession year counting,,, 1) From Rehoboam to Yeshosophat: Accession year system. 2) From Yehoram to Yoash: Non-accession year system. 3) From Amaziah to Zedekiah (including Yehoikim): Accession year system. Our 23 focus is on period #1
Foundations
So now we turn to the reign of Judahite king Yehosaphat, on the TishriElul/Accession year system. He comes to the throne in 870 BCE and dies in 848 BCE. His son, Jehu, will reign in the Northern Kingdom from 841 BCE to 814 BCE, starting from the 23rd year of Yoash in Judah (2 Kings 13:1). 1-2 Kings is on 24 Judah time reckoning.
Foundations
So going by Judah based time, both it and the Assyrians counted on the Accession Year system at this moment in history. It is therefore highly significant that Assyrian records also mention Jehu, King of Israel: The tribute of Jehu, son of Omri: I received from him silver, gold, a golden bowl, a golden vase with pointed bottom, golden tumblers, golden buckets, 25 tin, a staff for a king [and] spears."
Foundations
This same text, the Black Obelisk of Shalmanessar III, dates the campaign to the 17th year of his reign, or 841 BCE. The advantage of Assyrian recordsin addition to the fact that they count time the same way that Judah didlies in the fact that there is universal consensus among scholars as to the years they depict. The Assyrians were the most precise and clear 26 time-keepers in the Middle East!
Heres a picture of it
27
Foundations
From this data we can count from the Biblical record seamlessly back to Shishaks invasion in 926-925 and also Solomons 4th year in 967 BCE, because we now know the exact rules of counting behind both Assyria and Judah. But we should also take into account the rival reckoning system used in the Northern Kingdom of Israel after this 28
Intermission Foundations continues in Part 2
Foundations
This same Assyrian king, Shalmanessar III, mentions an even earlier Israelite kingAhabby name as well. Ahab is said to have provided 2,000 chariots and 10,000 men to this kings enemy, Hadad-ezer, also known as Ben Hadad II. Ahab and Ben Hadad II had 3 battles against each other, the last one being in the year Ahab died (1 Kings 22:1-40).
30
Foundations
However, the previous battle between Ahab and Ben Hadad II was three years before Ahabs death, or 856 BCE, and this is another fixed date that we can count backwards to hit Solomons time. But the final piece is, as I said before, to talk about how Ahabs kingdom counted time and how this was different than Judahs system. Heres how it 31 worked
Foundations
The Kingdom of Israel counted their time this way per Thiele/McFall 1) Unlike Judah which counted fall to fall, Israel counted spring to spring (AbibAdar). 2) Israel used a non-accession year system from the reigns of Yeroboam to Yehoaz. They then switched to the accession year system from Yehoash to 32 Hoshea, their last king.
Foundations
That means that Ahab counted time under the older Israelite reckoning: Spring to spring/Non-accession year system. Using those rules will bring us to the exact same range of years we saw by using Judah and Assyrian models, so all systems agree with each other, even though different methods are in place with each one! Those same records combine 33 with Egyptian and Biblical data
Foundations
This evidence is confirmed by Shishak himself in his own monument which dates the campaign to that exact time. When everything is put together, all the ancient witnesses then point to the 5th year of Rehoboamand therefore Shishaks invasion of Judahas 926-925 BCE. Shishak lists dozens of cities throughout the region. If Jerusalem is not mentioned 34 directly, he was still quite near it.
Foundations
Many Egyptologists think one reference to Shishak at Karnakit reads YWD MLK is referring to the monument of the king, which is in Northern Israel. The problem is, Karnak is all about recording the monuments of nearly all the kings of Egypt, so why single out Shishak in one of his own monuments right there? And the man who first deciphered 35 hieroglyphics had another opinion.
Foundations
Jean-Francoise Champollion, who gave Egyptologists the breakthrough understanding of Egypts ancient language, believed that Shishaks monument at the official kings list at Karnak read: YWD (Youda = Judah) MLK (kingdom). In other words, Shishak does claim collecting tribute from the Kingdom of 36 Judah, just as Scripture says!
Foundations
In addition, the most widely accepted range of Shishaks reign harmonizes nearly perfectly with the Scripture, 945 to 924 BCE. Shishaks own monument dates the campaign to his 21st year. The slight challenge is answered with the fact there are two campaigns recorded, starting in Israel at year 20, then Judah in year 21, which crosses 925 BCE.
37
Foundations
However, the final discrepancy between Scripture (926-925 BCE) and the way the Egyptian dating appears to read (925-924 BCE), is because Egypt counted still another different way from Judah! First, Egypt reckoned their years summer to summer; Judah counted fall to fall. Second, even though both counted from accession year, Egypts new year hit 38 first, giving them an EXTRA year.
Foundations
As a result, the 20th year of Shishak (counting summer to summer) would most certainly cross 926 BCE, completing a year 2+ months before Judah would count theirs. 945 BCE would count TWICE, once before summer started, and once after, and the end of the range would also add an extra year by the time Judahite reckoning 39 caught up. It looks like this
Foundations
1) 945 BCE (before summer), 2) 945 (after summer), 3) 944, 4) 943, 5) 942, 6) 941, 7) 940, 8) 939, 9) 938, 10) 937, 11) 936, 12) 935, 13) 934, 14) 933, 15) 932, 16) 931, 17) 930, 18) 929, 19) 928, 20) 927, 21) 926 BCE. At that point we cross into BiblicalJudahite reckoning, from 926-925 BCE, with the 5th year of Rehoboam beginning that fall, bringing us to 967 BCE for Solomons 4th year and 1447 BCE for the Exodus! 40
Foundations
We also have to make the final calculation from Moshes time that counting switched to the spring for the year (Exodus 12:1-2) which in turn was intercalated by the Judahite historian of 1-2 Kings on their fall to fall system. When all the pieces come together, they all prove that 967 BCE is Solomons 4th year. Now lets look at counting Jubilees 41 from the Exodus in 1447 BCE
Foundations
Jubilee #1 was in 1356 BCE, 50 years after the entrance to Canaan began. As a result, in Gregorian terms, the Absolute Yovel must happen twice a century, with BCE years ending in -06 and -56. (This is because of Jubilee Zero, a later topic.) No year 0 and the last BCE Jubilee is 6 BCE. Subtract 5 years to get to 1 CE, so first Jubilee in CE time is year 45, next 95, and so on. Heres counting method #1.
42
Foundations
BCE Jubilees (Moshe forward): 1) 1356, 2) 1306, 3) 1256, 4) 1206, 5) 1156, 6) 1106, 7) 1056, 8) 1006, 9) 956, 10) 906, 11) 856, 12) 806, 13) 756, 14) 706, 15) 656, 16) 606, 17) 556, 18) 506, 19) 456, 20) 406, 21) 356, 22) 306, 23) 256, 24) 206, 25) 156, 26) 106, 27) 56, 28) 6 BCE!
43
Foundations
CE 29) 45, 30) 95, 31) 145, 32) 195, 33) 245, 34) 295, 35) 345, 36) 395, 37) 445, 38) 495, 39) 545, 40) 595, 41) 645, 42) 695, 43) 745, 44) 795, 45) 845, 46) 895, 47) 945, 48) 995, 49) 1045, 50) 1095, 51) 1145, 52) 1195, 53) 1245, 54) 1295, 55) 1345, 56) 1395, 57) 1445, 58) 1495, 59) 1545, 60) 1595, 61) 1645, 62) 1695, 63) 1745, 64) 1795, 65) 1845, 66) 1895, 67) 1945, 68) 1995, 69) 2045, 70) 2095
44
Foundations
In addition to these 50 year cycles moving forward from Moshes time, Scripture has told us there have always been Jubilee Rules in effect even back to Adam. What I mean is this concept: Obey YHWH and stay in your land, or disobey and die or leave! While the Jubilee has all land revert to its original owner, ultimately the original Owner of the whole earth is YHWH.
45
Foundations
What we are looking for then are events from Eden to just before Moshe where YHWH took back the ENTIRE EARTH from man. We call these events ProtoJubilees. These PJs have only happened twice (Adam and Eve expelled from Eden; the Flood), and must be added to our list of regular Jubilees for tracking Yshuas Return. So now our list looks like this
46
Foundations
Proto-Jubilees (Where whole Earth is taken from Man):1) Adam and Eve out of Paradise, 2) Flood. BCE Jubilees (Moshe forward): 3) 1356, 4) 1306, 5) 1256, 6) 1206, 7) 1156, 8) 1106, 9) 1056, 10) 1006, 11) 956, 12) 906, 13) 856, 14) 806, 15) 756, 16) 706, 17) 656, 18) 606, 19) 556, 20) 506, 21) 456, 22) 406, 23) 356, 24) 306, 25) 256, 26) 206, 27) 156, 28) 106, 29) 56, 30) 6 BCE 47
Foundations
CE Jubilees (after 6 BCE): 31) 45, 32) 95, 33) 145, 34) 195, 35) 245, 36) 295, 37) 345, 38) 395, 39) 445, 40) 495, 41) 545, 42) 595, 43) 645, 44) 695, 45) 745, 46) 795, 47) 845, 48) 895, 49) 945, 50) 995, 51) 1045, 52) 1095, 53) 1145, 54) 1195, 55) 1245, 56) 1295, 57) 1345, 58) 1395, 59) 1445, 60) 1495, 61) 1545, 62) 1595, 63) 1645, 64) 1695, 65) 1745, 66) 1795, 67) 1845, 68) 1895, 69) 1945, 70) 1995! 48
Foundations
So now, if this Jubilee counting method is correct, we are now in the 70th Jubilee since Adam. On the day = year/land sabbath cycle, Daniel 9:24-27 predicted Yshuas death to the exact correct day from 500 years out! Daniel also predicted Yshua would die in that cycles 70th week, which he did!
49
Foundations
Therefore, since Yshua left us in the middle of the last 70th cycle, the best scenario available is that he will return during the next 70th cycle. By this method, or Long Count, adding the Proto-Jubilees puts Yshuas return no later than 2045. The other method (Straight Count) would not count the PJs so its 70th Jubilee 50 means Yshua returns 100 years later.
Foundations
Right now, based on my current understanding, the bulk of evidence seems to point to the EARLY return, before 2045. Later we will see this comes from incredible patterns in and around the 2000th anniversary of the resurrection, in 2030. For now though, there is one more Jubilee 51 to discuss
Foundations
In order for all the cycles to align with perfect precision, we need to deal with an additional mechanism I call Jubilee Zero. Briefly, Jubilee Zero is a place holder that is meant to act as a buffer between Pre and Post Moshe Jubilees. We might think of this in terms of what we would call a real estate trust.
52
Foundations
While Israel wanders, YHWH is truly testing them to see if they will be ready for their inheritance. He never says to them during this period: you have inherited but always you will inherit, and even that is conditional in Deuteronomy upon them keeping His Torah. The Canaanites have their territory removed from their care due to wickedness and it goes in trust with YHWH as Executor. 53
Foundations
Then, in His timing, YHWH transfers the deed of Canaan to Israel on His own terms. So, all Jubilees end their cycle with this transfer of property. Then, because Jubilee rules were in effect prior to Moshe, there must be a year 50 AFTER the 40 years of wandering ended when the land transfers from the Canaanites to YHWH and from YHWH 54 to Israel.
Foundations
It is only after the probation that YHWH certifies the real estate trust and transfers the deed of Canaan to Israel in the spring of1405 BCE. Again, because the land has changed owners, 1406 must be a year 50 because neither the Canaanites nor the Israelites own it! It has gone back to YHWH in escrow! And heres proof!
55
Foundations
Yahweh spoke to Moses, in the desert of Sinai, in the 2nd year after the exodus from Egypt, in the first month(Num 9:1) In the 2nd year, in the 2nd month, on the 20th day of the month, the cloud rose from where the Dwelling of the Testimony was, and the Israelites set out, in marching order, from the desert of Sinai. The cloud came to rest in the desert of Paran. (Num 10:11-12 )
56
Foundations
So this is two years after the Exodus happened, or 1445 BCE The Exodus is a re-setting of time (Exodus 12:1-2), and in 1447 BCE, we began counting to completing a year 1, so it is Year 0 and not Year 1. Such is confirmed in the Talmud, as explained by www.bible.ort.org here
57
Foundations
Nissan of the 40th year (Rashbam; Josephus, Antiquities 4:4:7), after the entire generation of the Exodus had died (Rashi; Bachya; Abarbanel; but see Deuteronomy 2:16). There is no information about what happened during the 38 intervening years, other than the travels mentioned in Numbers 33:19-36 (Ibn Ezra). Commentary on Numbers 20:1.
58
Foundations
And this brings us to one critical event that will help prove the timeline further
For 40 days you scouted out the country. Each day will count as a year so for 40 years you will bear the consequences of your guilt and learn what it means to reject Me. (Numbers 14:34-Matara)
59
Foundations
This curse on Israel then is rooted at some point in the 2nd year after the Exodus, or year 3, depending on how you want to count. That means by the 40th year from the actual Exodus itself, we have 2 more years to go before the wandering curse is officially lifted by Abba YHWH. But look at Deuteronomy 1:3 for this
60
Foundations
It was in the 40th year, on the 1st day of the 11th month, that Moses told the Israelites everything that Yahweh had ordered him to tell them. (Deuteronomy 1:3 NJB) and contrast this with Moses was 80 years old and Aaron 83, when they spoke to Pharaoh. (Exodus 7:7 NJB) Now lets crack the time code
61
Foundations
Deuteronomy 31:2, 34:7 puts Moses age at 120 years, and yet before the start of the spring in the Exodus year, Moses was 80 years old! This means 11+ months have passed after Moses turned 120 and he is pretty close to his 121st birthday on the day he dies; otherwise the Scripture timeline doesnt work.
62
Foundations
Next, Deuteronomy 34:8 says that Moses was mourned for 30 days after he died, but that brings us only to 39 years of wandering being completed, not 40! That 39th year is finished at the start of the spring of 1406 BCE. This means that Joshua must wait another year before attacking Jericho and that year is none other than Jubilee Zero!
63
Foundations
So this Jubilee Zero is not just a theoretical placeholder or mathematical concept. Its actually embedded in the Torah text itself as a historical fact! Its a time for the land to reset ownership from the Canaanites to Abba YHWH before He transfers it to Israel the following spring in 1405 BCE. Here then is the list of years!
64
Yovel Cycle Zero (the first 50 years)
YEAR 0 (Spring of 1406 BCE)

1) Spring of 1405, 2) 1404, 3) 1403, 4) 1402, 5) 1401, 6) 1400, 7) 1399, 8) 1398, 9) 1397, 10) 1396, 11) 1395, 12) 1394, 13) 1393, 14) 1392, 15) 1391, 16) 1390, 17) 1389, 18) 1388, 19) 1387, 20) 1386, 21) 1385, 22) 1384, 23) 1383, 24) 1382, 25) 1381, 26) 1380, 27) 1379, 28) 1378, 29) 1377, 30) 1376, 31) 1375, 32) 1374, 33) 1373, 34) 1372, 35) 1371, 36) 1370, 37) 1369, 38) 1368, 39) 1367, 40) 1366, 41) 1365, 42) 1364, 43) 1363, 44) 1362, 45) 1361, 46) 1360, 47) 1359, 48) 1358, 49) 1357, 50) 65 1356.
Yovel Cycle Zero (the first 50 years)
While the first 50 year cycle is being generated, the Shemittah counting would come first, every 7 years from 1406 BCE. That makes years 1399, 1392, 1385, 1378, 1371, 1364 and 1357 Shemittahs. Then on Yom Kippur 1357, the shofar is Jubilee. So now our list breaks down this way
66
Foundations
PROTO-JUBILEES (Adam and Eve out of Eden, the Flood with no 50 year cycle)
JUBILEE ZERO (1406 BCE, at the end of the wandering period as the deed is transferred from YHWH to Israel)
50 YEAR JUBILEES (From the entry into Canaan forward, with 50 year cycles)
67
Next in Part 3 The Jericho Campaign!
68
Intermission
The Jericho Campaign
70
There is one final proof I need to offer on the spring of 1405 BCE. It has to do with actual chronological information in the book of Joshua that tells us so much info, we can actually reconstruct an entire month! And then we can match that to actual astronomical data like this
71
The Israelites pitched their camp at Gilgal and kept the Passover there on the 14th day of the month, at evening, in the plain of Jericho (15th begins). On the next day after the Passover (the 16th), they ate what the land produced, unleavened bread and roasted grain. The manna stopped the day after they had eaten the produce of the land (the 17th). (Joshua 5:10-12)
72
So lets break this chronology down 1st its the late afternoon on the 14th when the lamb is killed, the sun sets, and now the 15th of Abib has just begun. The Hebrew then says in 5:11 that they ate old parched grain on mi-macharath (from the morrow) after the 14th ended, and this needs some additional explanation
73
Lev 23:14 says they cant eat fresh roasted grain until the 16th. Also, the Hebrew day starts and ends at sunset. So the first half of the Hebrew day is in darkness and the second half is from dawn to sunset. Since the morning is the LATER half of the day, Hebrew distinguishes between dawn ON the same day and dawn on the NEXT 74 day.
If it were just the following morning or dawn attached to the CURRENT Hebrew day that started the previous evening 12 hours prior, it would be simply called boker or shachrit. But if it says macharath its actually the morning 36 hours after that previous evening. All this brings us to the 16th of Abib, two mornings after the 14th ends!
75
So much for 5:11, except we should also note that it is daytime on the 16th when they are eating the fresh roasted grain. Therefore, when macharath appears a second time, in 5:12, we must count to the morning attached to the next Hebrew day toothe morning of the 17th. Its here that we get a very important detail
76
The manna stopped the day after they had eaten the produce of the land (the 17th). (Joshua 5:10-12 NJB) So this is literally the last time the manna ever falls for Israel. If we can just figure out what day of the week it had to be when the manna stopped falling, we can solve the puzzle! And Tanakh does tell us this.
77
'Eat it today,' Moses said, 'for today is a Sabbath for Yahweh; you will find none in the fields today. For six days you will collect it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.' On the seventh day some of the people went out to collect it, but they found none. (Exodus 16:25-27 NJB)
78
The only day the manna stopped falling on was the Shabbat! This same day was the one after the 16th, or the morning of the 17th of Abib. Therefore the 17th of Abib MUST also be a Shabbat! And we have an actual year to work with and prove its Jubilee Zero 1405 BCE. We can now check that year and find out if the days match!

The following is from the NASA website: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/phase/phases1499.html. This will be the raw data for the Abib New Moon given by NASA for 1405 BCE. They put this data in Universal Time and by the Julian Calendarwe will convert it to Jerusalem Local Time and our current Gregorian Calendar. Here goes
80
Phases of the Moon: -1404 (1405 BCE) Universal Time (UT) Apr 5 (Julian) 07:21 AM UT Next, we need to convert to local Jerusalem timeeasy as this is always 2 hours ahead (DST is useless in astronomy so its not needed). So 7:21 AM UT = 9:21 AM Jerusalem time.
81
Phases of the Moon: -1404 (1405 BCE) Jerusalem Time (JT) Apr 5 (Julian) 9:21 AM Jerusalem Time After that, we need to take the Julian date of April 5th and convert it into our Gregorian calendar. For that we use another scientific site: http://fourmilab.ch/documents/calendar/
82
Phases of the Moon: -1404 (1405 BCE) Jerusalem Time (JT) Apr 5 (Julian) 9:21 AM Jerusalem Time Mar 23 (Gregorian) 9:21 AM Jerusalem Time Please NOTE: Only the numerical days change between calendars, but.
83
Phases of the Moon: -1404 (1405 BCE) Jerusalem Time (JT) Apr 5 (Julian) 9:21 AM Jerusalem Time Mar 23 (Gregorian) 9:21 AM Jerusalem Time the DAYS of the week are the same--a Wednesday in both Julian and Gregorian!
84
Phases of the Moon: -1404 (1405 BCE) Jerusalem Time (JT) Apr 5 (Julian) 9:21 AM Jerusalem Time Mar 23 (Greg.) 9:21 AM Jerusalem Time Sunset that very night (the 23rd) will start the month of Abib. It is from here that we must count the time.
85
Phases of the Moon: -1404 (1405 BCE) Jerusalem Time (JT) Apr 5 (Julian) 9:21 AM Jerusalem Time Mar 23 (Greg.) 9:21 AM Jerusalem Time What follows then is the list of days from the start of Abib on the 23rd to capture the 17th morning, which must be a Shabbat
86
Abib 1 (sunset Mar 23-sunset Mar 24), 2 (Mar 24-5), 3 (Mar 25-6), 4 (Mar 26-7) 5 (Mar 27-8) 6 (Mar 28-9) 7 (Mar 29-30) 8 (Mar 30-31) 9 (Mar 31-Apr 1) 10 (Apr 1-2) 11 (Apr 2-3) 12 (Apr 3-4) 13 (Apr 4-5) 14 (Apr 5-6) 15 (Apr 6-7) 16 (Apr 7-8) 17 (April 8-9) So the morning of April 9th must be a Shabbat, and it actually was a Saturday morning in 1405 BCE! Another look
87

Abib 1 (W sunset Mar 23-Th sunset Mar 24), 2 ( Th/F Mar 24-5), 3 (F/Sa Mar 25-6), 4 (Sa/Su Mar 26-7) 5 (Su/M Mar 27-8) 6 (M/Tu Mar 28-9) 7 (Tu/W Mar 29-30) 8 (W/Th Mar 30-31) 9 (Th/F Mar 31-Apr 1) 10 (F/Sa Apr 1-2) 11 (Sa/Su Apr 2-3) 12 (Su/M Apr 3-4) 13 (M/Tu Apr 4-5) 14 (Tu/W Apr 5-6) 15 (W/Th Apr 6-7) 16 (Thu/F Apr 7-8) 17 (F/SaApril 8-9)
88
So clearly the calendar, the Biblical data and the astronomy all match perfectly and beautifully. This is a powerful proof that the proper way to reckon the Hebrew month as well as the precise year of the Exodus and events before and after also match and work! If any piece of data was wrong, the entire system would fall apart! Moving on!

Next in Part 4 The Testimony of Josephus!
90
Intermission
The Testimony of Josephus
92
First, I believe it is absolutely certain the Shemmitah-Jubilee cycles were ignored in the First Temple period, from 960 to 586 BCE. Leviticus 26:34-36 warned the Land would get all the Sabbaths back that had been ignored or misapplied. To accumulate 70 years of rest requires a minimum of 490 years of apostasy, plus 93 10 more years for the 50th year.
That brings us to 500 years of apostasy that we can be certain of. Since the Temple was destroyed in 586 BCE and only stood 374 years, that puts the neglect of the Land Sabbath squarely in the time of the Judges. Here is what Scripture also tells us about that time: No Passover like this had ever been celebrated since the days when the judges ruled Israel. (2 Kings 23:22 NJB) 94
So while Judah and Israel compromised on Passover, only the priests remained loyal to serving YHWH in Jerusalem. In the teaching on Aarons calendar we will see also how the system could easily be put back on line even when things like 70 years of captivity stopped all services. But in YHWHs Mind, Shemittah, Jubilee and Pesach are all part of the same 95 process of marking sacred time.
The question is, can we see how these cycles of Jubilees and Land Sabbaths work in real history? We have only one source for Land Sabbaths being recorded in ancient Israel to particular yearsthe historian Josephus. Up until now, historians have found it very hard to find a consistent pattern with the years Josephus identifies as shemittahs. 96
Indeed it does seem that no CONSISTENT system can reconcile the Land Sabbaths Josephus names: 164, 135 and 37 BCE and 37 CE. However, as we will see, Josephus does give us enough history on the challenges from this time to let us know why confusion crept in. Lets look at our first example.
97
164 BCE: Death of Antiochus Epiphanes. This Antiochus died in the 149th year: but it was Lysias that declared his death to the multitude, and appointed his son Antiochus to be king, (of whom at present he had the care,) and called him Eupator. (Antiquities 12:361) 149th year (from the founding of the Seleucid Empire in 313 BCE = 164 BCE
98
At this same time But as for the temple of Jerusalem, he lay at its siege a long time... But then their provisions failed them; what fruits of the ground they had laid up were spent and the land being not ploughed that year, continued fallow, because it was the seventh year, on which, by our laws, we are obliged to let it lay uncultivated. 99 (Antiquities 12:377-378)
On our calendar, 206 BCE is the nearest Jubilee to this event. Shemittah years from that time would therefore have to be 199, 192, 185, 178, 171, 164 and 157. Therefore, score 1 for Josephus. This Shemittah clearly shows the correct 50 year cycle is being counted at this time in Israel. Next case
100
101
135 BCE: Ascension of John Hyrcanus as High Priest.

When his father, Simon Maccabeus, was assassinated at Jericho by his son-in-law Ptolemy, John succeeded in escaping from those sent by Ptolemy to murder him also. From Gadara, where he at that time lived, John hastened to Jerusalem, where the people gladly received him as Simon's successor (135 BCE). http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?a 102 rtid=1004&letter=H
Once again, Josephus says this year was a Land Shabbat And as the siege was drawn out into length by this means, that year on which the Jews used to rest came on; for the Jews observe this rest every seventh year, as they do every seventh day; so that Ptolemy being for this cause released from the war, he slew the brethren of Hyrcanus. (Antiquities 13:234-235) 103
Our calendar once again agrees with Josephus! In this case the nearest Jubilee to 135 BCE would have been 156 BCE. From there the Shemittahs would have been: 149, 142, 135, 128, 121, 114 and 107. But this next example appears to throw a wrench into the works
104
When the rigor of winter was over, Herod moved his army, and came near to Jerusalem, and pitched his camp close by the city. Now this was the third year since he had been made king at Rome. (Antiquities 14:465) 3rd year = 37 BCE = Bad Shemittah because
105
They persisted in this war to the very last: and this they did while a mighty army lay around them, and while they were distressed by famine and the want of necessities, for this happened to be a Sabbatical year. (Antiqities14:475 and see also 15:7) But by these same rules that have worked until now, 35 BCE should be a Land 106 Sabbath, NOT 37 BCE! What happened?
The calendar worked clearly up until 135 BCE, when Hyrcanus became high priest. But less than a century later, the timing got messed up. There is only one explanation for what happened here as all other attempts to have one system work throughout this period have failed: They switched counting methods!
107
After 135 BCE, Josephus records lengthy rivalries between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. From this time until 10 BCE, these two sects alternated being in charge of the calendar of Israel, and each side had a different method for reckoning the Hebrew year. It is also during this period that the Jubilee 108 itself became forgotten and called year 49.
This inconsistency in timekeeping is also recorded in the Talmud, where some rabbis said the Jubilee itself was not important to keep separately. So after 135 BCE, they switched to a 49 year cycle. They should have declared 106 BCE a Jubilee but it was 107 instead. Then 49 years later, their Jubilee was off by a second year, coming at 58 BCE, so 37 BCE 21 years later was a Shemittah. 109
But in 10 BCE, the great Rabbi Hillel the Elder got the calendar back on the right counting. (Not the same Hillel as the one who released the Rabbinic calendar in 359 CE!) This was the same calendar that Yshua himself endorsed, the one the Pharisees of his day sat on the throne of Moshe to administer. Heres what the Talmud said
110
Our Rabbis taught: Since the death of the last prophets, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, the Holy Spirit [of prophetic inspiration] departed from Israel; yet they were still able to avail themselves of the Bath-kol. Once when the Rabbis were met in the upper chamber of Gurya's house at Jericho, a Bath-kol was heard from Heaven, saying: 'There is one amongst you who is worthy that the Shechinah should rest111
on him as it did on Moses, but his generation does not merit it.' The Sages present set their eyes on Hillel the Elder. And when he died, they lamented and said: 'Alas, the pious man, the humble man, the disciple of Ezra [is no more].' Rodkinson, Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 11a
112
The Testimony of Josephus Hillel the Elder
113
Hillels motivation to reform the calendar came from the fact that high priests were dying every year on Yom Kippur, probably because they went into the Kadosh Kadoshim on the wrong day! Even if the Talmud numbers are exaggerated300 high priests are killed in this mannerit still fits well in this period, from 135 to 10 BCE. Take a look
114
Rabba bar Hana in the name of R. Johanan said: It is written [in Proverbs x. 27]: "The fear of the Lord increases man's days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened." "The fear of the Lord increases the days"; that refers to the first Temple, during whose existence of four hundred and ten years there were only eighteen high-priests. "The years of the wicked will be shortened," refers to the second Temple, 115
which existed 420 years, and more than 300 high-priests succeeded each other during that period. Subtract the forty years during which Simeon the Righteous ministered, eighty years of Johanan the high-priest's ministry, and ten years of Ishmael b. Fava--according to others, eleven years of R. Eleazer b. Harsum--and compute, you will see that not even one high-priest completed his year. -Yoma 9a 116
Part of the problem is the traditional date of 432 BCE for the destruction of the First Temple is 154 years later than the date accepted by 99% of historians, 586 BCE. If we adjust for that discrepancy, we can fit many Yom Kippur deaths of high priests happening from 135 to 10 BCE, or 4 generations of deaths that would have 117 felt like much longer to Israel.
The rest of the evidence, detailed in Wheel of Stars, shows how the secret calendar was passed down from Moshe to David (setting up the 24 courses under Aarons instructions) to Josiah and finally to Ezra. After Ezras time, the only worthy person with right knowledge to have the Shekinah was Hillel the Elder, Ezras disciple and then the NT tells us 118 the High Priests stopped dying each year!
The reason was this: It is clear that Hillel the Elder patched the calendar back to these original 50 year cycles, and instituted other reforms that brought it back into alignment. Then when Yshua talked about proclaiming the year of YHWHs favor in Luke 4, he was referring to the Jubilee year that began at his conception and the Land Sabbath that was his death year. 119
The last Jubilee was 6 BCE, so now we have to cross the timeline with no year 0.That makes 2 CE the first Shemittah. It would be followed by 9, 16, 23, 30, 37 and 44! This means 30 CE, the year Yshua died, was also a Shemittah! He talked about release of the captives in Luke 4 and released the captives in Sheol after he 120 died that year! More proof
The Ruach of Adonai YHWH is upon me, because YHWH has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty ( ) to captives and freedom to prisoners. (Isaiah 61:1-Matara) This Hebrew word that Yshua read in Luke 4:18deroris directly associated with the Shemittah and Yovel cycles
121
'You are also to count off 7 sabbaths of years for yourself, 7 times 7 years, so that you have the time of the 7 sabbaths of years, namely, 49 years. 'You shall then sound a ram's horn abroad on the 10th day of the 7th monthYou shall thus consecrate the 50th year and proclaim a release ( ) through the landa jubilee for you. (Leviticus 25:8-10)
122
"At the end of 7 years each of you shall set free his Hebrew brother who has been sold to you and has served you six years, you shall send him out free Although recently you had turned and done what is right in My sight, each man proclaiming release ( ) to his neighbor, and you had made a covenant before Me in the house which is called by My name. (Jeremiah 34:14-15)
123
So here we see the same word used in connection with releasing captives, debts and land obligations. Since he was reading in Hebrew, its not surprising that the Aramaic text is a perfect translation of this key terminology. And after this Yshua mentions the year of YHWHs favor which is definitely connected to a Yovel cycle.
124
So we now can see the full list of Jubilee and Shemittah years has been recovered! These years align with Scripture and with history, even showing us when Israel forgot how to do the right thing which invited disaster on their heads, as YHWH predicted would happen (Leviticus 26:34). With this restoration, we can explore later its links to Yshuas return. But there is a 125 complication
Intermission Early and Late Return Scenarios in Part 5
Early and Late Return Scenarios
Not surprisingly, the Talmud is not always in agreement with this. Sometimes it says the 50th year was deemed irrelevant and other times the Rabbinic chronology there is clearly way off the mark and incorrect historically. For example, Rabbi Yose, the author of a 2nd century CE work known as Seder Olam, was a disciple of Rabbi Akiba.
127
Rabbi Yose wrote that the year the Second Temple was destroyed was either a Land Sabbath or the year after a Land Sabbath, depending on how one Hebrew phrase is translated. However, 70 CE was neither. The Land Sabbath nearest the destruction was actually in 66, the same year the Revolt started, and the next one was in 73.
128
The major problem is that the Rabbis consistently assumed that they didnt have to count the Jubilee or Land Sabbaths for long periods of time, due to captivities of both kingdoms and a wide variety of other disruptions. As a result, their count got corrupted from YHWHs continuous counting method from the fixed time of the 129 Exodus
The question of whether 700 BCE (i.e. the year starting in Tishre of 700 BCE) could have been a Shmita can be examined by looking at references to possible Sabbatical years in Scripture and elsewhere. In this endeavor, the time of the First Temple should be considered separately from the time of the Second Temple and later, due to evidence that the counting of the Sabbatical
130
years was interrupted during the exile.Wikipedia

I will deal with 700 BCE in a moment. However, its the earlier statement I want to focus onthat the counting of years was interrupted during the exile, which most scholars agree with. And for me, thats the exact problem!
131
Again, Abba YHWH assumes eternal obedience and therefore eternal and continuous occupation of Israel. His count never stopped. The Rabbis however disagreedthe Scripture we went over earlier (1 Chronicles 36:20-21) proves they counted wrong. So even if Rabbi Yose got his count from Akiba, it comes out of that 132 wrong system that destroyed them!
Many scholars though over the years (Zuckerman, et. al.) have tried to deduce Shemittahs from Scripture, but they either are counting from 49 years (wrong) or they are dismissing the continuous clock that Abba YHWH requires, or both. Of the possible Scripture cites for First Temple Land Sabbath (and again they didnt keep it right), 700 BCE is the only 133 truly intriguing one
'Then this shall be the sign for you: you will eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what springs from the same, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. (2 Kings 19:29 NAU) This is 700 BCE, and notice the fruits will sustain Israel for three yearsexactly what Scripture promises for years 49, 50 134 and the start of the new cycle!
In our system, as we saw, BCE years in 06 and -56 are YHWHs intended Jubilee years. Therefore, 706 BCE would have been the nearest Jubileestarting with the announcement the previous fall in 707, with the actual Jubilee hitting in spring of 706. This brings us to spring of 699 BCE for the Land Sabbath.
135
But that doesnt mean 700/699 is the real time of a Jubileein fact the very text argues against it being so. The text says, This will be a SIGN for you. By definition a SIGN is something out of the expected natural order, like a virgin birth being predicted in Isaiah 7:14. Or, its a BANNER heralding a major change, of the seasons or of man.
136
That being the case, three years of sustained crops would NOT be a sign in the three years between 49, 50 and the new cycleit would be EXPECTED that such would happen because YHWH PROMISED that automatically when they kept the right timing! Heres the proof according to the Scripture
137
'But if you say, "What are we going to eat on the seventh year if we do not sow or gather in our crops? Then I will so order My blessing for you in the 6th year that it will bring forth the crop for 3 years. 'When you are sowing the 8th year, you can still eat old things from the crop, eating the old until the 9th year when its crop comes in. (Leviticus 25:20-22 NAU)
138
As a result, there is no compelling evidence whatsoever that the Jubilee/Land Sabbath cycles were accurately and intentionally kept during the First Temple period. This is also true for the 70 Land Sabbaths to be missed (490 years in all) for the destruction of the Temple in 586 BCE to make sense.
139
Earlier in this discussion we explored a little bit the Early Return Scenario, or Long Count. With the Exodus fixed to 1447 BCE, Biblical data tells us also when to start counting 50 year periods from Israels entry into Canaan. We saw in our study of Daniel 9, that Yshua left in the middle of the 70th week
140
Therefore Yshua could very well return in the middle of the only 70th cycle open to him, the Jubilee or Yovel. So since the Long Count puts us in that 70th Jubilee since 1995, it is possible Yshua will return before 2045 on this systemor perhaps during 2030, the 2000th anniversary of the resurrection! But theres also more evidence.
141
What we are about to discuss is a topic that is so important, that even in this series I have to teach it at least 3 times. Its called The 153 code and it is one the of the most powerful pieces of evidence for a potential early return of Yshua. The combination of the 153 and what I call the 25th priest are the heart of the argument for the early scenario
142
But after that discussion concludes, I also want to wrap up with a discussion of the Later Return Scenarioor Straight Countso named because it counts straight in 50 year increments from the entrance into Canaan. The Proto-Jubilees, or the 2 times YHWH took the earth back from man, are not counted in this system. Now, the 153!
143
Lets Wind the Clock!
144
So, in order to start the Clock, the wind up year must cover both starts, with the main cycle going from 1446 BCE forward, and the earlier beginning (1447 BCE) being projected backwards for that same interval of time. The question is: What is that main cycle to apply forwards and backwards? To find out, I need to show you the data set as the computer first generated it for me
145
Cycle 2: 1446 BCE

Sun 2/16 2/23 3/2 3/9 3/16 Mon 2/17 2/24 3/3 3/10 3/17 Tue 2/18 2/25 3/4 3/11 3/18 Wed 2/19 2/26 3/5 3/12 3/19 Thu 2/20 2/27 3/6 3/13 3/20 Fri 2/21 2/28 3/7 3/14 3/21 Sat 2/22 3/1 3/8 3/15 3/22 Course 21 22 23 24 1
So we put course 1 on duty on Friday, March 21st and project the previous courses backwards to Cycle 1 (1447 BCE and earlier) and the forwards.
146
We arrange each course across the grid of a solar year. In BCE time, we have chosen mirror year formulas or CE years that mirror the exact Gregorian intervals of leap days (Feb 29th) as well as other Gregorian rules, such as not having leap years in -00 years that are not divisible by 400. Then, we let the computer do the work. The courses will float without breaks for Great Feasts when all priests would 147 have served at once.
Neither the Constellation Clock nor the earthly priests would have paused for Great Feasts either. The course on duty would count and the rest were there to help. Because there are 52 weeks in the year, 24 divisions then would each serve twice, and the remaining weeks would be filled with the first few courses (1,2,3). The result is a pure floating system in pure Solar Time. But if all this sounds a bit intense it comes down to a very low 148 tech approach
When we roll out the years in Gregorian time, we find that at the end of 23 years, these floating courses will return course 1 to the same date it started at: Friday, March 21st, and it does this both forwards and backwards with perfect precision! So from 1446 BCE forward, course 1 returns to Friday March 21st in 1423 BCE, then 1400, then 1377, etc.
149
And from 1446 BCE backward it gets to Friday March 21st 23 years prior, in 1469 BCE, which is the start of our clock so as to include the previous year when the Exodus happened in a 23 year cycle. So from 1446 BCE forward, course 1 returns to Friday March 21st in 1423 BCE, then 1400, then 1377, etc. But, because of how our Gregorian calendar works, it will take 12 23 year cycles before course 1 now points to the week before the VE. 150
Course 2 has now shifted into duty where course 1 was. Therefore, in star terms, each priestly course serves 276 years in the heavens, before yielding to the next division, and so on. This has huge prophetic implications, which I will reveal at the end of this presentation!

Year Count of 23
Hour Count: represents each one of the 24 courses that serve each week. In this case the 19th hour of that day, as we went over earlier. Year Count 23: The Year Count of 23 has to do with the 276 year cycle we went over earlier as well. Every 23 years, course 1 returns to its intended position at the time of the Vernal Equinox and in this case 89 BCE is the first year of the new 153 cycle, so it is designated as Year 1.
Each time from the start of the clock (1469 BCE) that a 23 year cycle is completed is also recorded so here 89 BCE is the 61st time the 23 year cycles have passed from the start time (23 Year Cycle Count). The final field, course count tells us which 276 year cycle has occurred from the beginning of the clock. So, if the year were 1193 BCE, that is exactly 276 years from the beginning of the clock and now course 2 would be on duty. Here are some examples 154
Our first 23 year set was from Friday, March 21st. 1469 BCE, the start of the clock to encompass the Exodus itself starting the year before. Then in 1446 BCE, the year the earthly priests began serving, we find that same date has cycled through with these floating course returning course 1 to that exact day
155
Like here
..and again in 1423 BCE
and here 23 years later.
and here and so on more times, eventually leading to
1193 BCE276 years after the priest clock began, but now course 1 is the week before the VE so course 2 is on duty the first week of the year!
This 276 year cycle repeats for all 24 courses and always fixes to the VE even when our own calendar begins to lose accuracy! While the day of the VE gets earlier and earlier each 23 year cycle, it will hold 12 full times before going out of date. However, bear in mind once Yshua returns, especially if its soon, the rules of time may go out the window anyway. But 161 lets see a little more cycles
Heres what happens after Course 2 signs on for duty
162
And for the rest
163
And so it goes on
164
As we just saw above, the 276 year cycle has completed once more. Now, Course 2 which was on duty the first week of spring is pointing to Friday, March 14th, or the week before. As Course 3 comes on board, it will start Friday, March 21st, and the entire cycle kicks off all over again! Moving on to our next topic now, but first

The Great 153 Code!
168
The Great 153 Code!
First lets go back to the beginning of the Constellation Clock. Like other areas of the calendar, we must have a place holder or a zero marker. In this case, since the calendar begins 1469 BCE, the zero marker is simply all the ages from Creation to just before this beginning point. As a result, when we officially start, the ages before count as 169 Cycle 0, and the grid looks like this
The Great 153 Code!
170
The Great 153 Code!
So when 1469 BCE opens here, that cycle representing all the ages prior completes. As a result, the counter for 23 year cycle count advances to 1 at the start of the clock, again in 1469 BCE. From there, we simply count forward in 23 year increments, and add 1 to each occurrence, and eventually we get here

There are two things on the chart I would like you to take away 2028 And the red number at the bottom: The start of the153rd occurrence of the 23 year cycle since 1469 BCE! 2028 is of course the nearest beginning of the cycle just prior to the 2000th anniversary of the resurrection! And that year, 2030, is also in the middle of the 70th Jubilee since the Creation of Adam!
173
The Great 153 Code!
Again, this is the only time in 8,000 years (in all of time itself) that the number 153 crosses the Clock. Since there is only one time the 23 year cycle can add up to 153, its the only time the number will cross time ever! There is also only one time in all of Scripture that this number appears as well! So maybe we should compare the two 174 unique occurrences?
The Great 153 Code! And Shimon Keefa embarked and dragged the net to land, being full of 153 great fish. And with all this weight, that net was not torn. John 21:11 (AENT)
175
The Great 153 Code!
And I will give my two witnesses; and they will prophesy 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.- Revelation 11:3 (AENT)
176
The Great 153 Code!
But recall that its at least two witnesses needed for life and death matters. One of these other witnesses is the math itselfthe 153rd cycle that begins only in 2028. There is also the Jubilee witness and the many associations of the number 70 with Messiahs first and second comings. But even now, another witness awaits, in 2029
177
The Great 153 Code!
And there will be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars. And on earth, distress of the nations And the powers of heaven will be shaken But when these things begin to happen, have courage and lift up your heads, because your salvation (Genesis 49:18: yeshua- )draws near. Luke 21:25 (AENT)
178
The Great 153 Code!
Some believe that sign to be

180
The Great 153 Code!
For one thing, the solar year and days of the week in 2030 are identical to those of crucifixion week. (In other words, Thursday April 4th in the year 30, is the same date in 2030)! The year is encoded at the time of the VE as 21 (777), a very good math sign! Thats why I know it will miss us. Apophis is here to warn, not kill us. But the really interesting thing is
181
The Great 153 Code!
The exact coding of the 2000th anniversary of the week of the crucifixion is that of the 24th course. And then the first day of the week after the crucifixion, the count has reset to 1! Since the 24 courses are symbolic of time, it means the age is about to change! The same 24 code is in Genesis. Counting towards Moses, its 24 generations from 182 Adam to Kohath, and then the book ends!
The Great 153 Code!
Lets get back to the 153. If the fish are his followers And the 153rd fish is caught on the Clock in 2028 It may mean: You have this long to catch fish (followers), after which time runs out and the clock resets from 24 back to 1. But there is one more stunning insight to relate the #1 most shocking 183 idea of them all
The Great 153 Code!
We saw that the Clock started running in 1469 BCE. The main unit of measure: 276 years for each heavenly course to be on duty. Now lets multiply that number by the number of courses 276 years x 24 courses = 6,624 years
184
The Great 153 Code!
At first the significance of a 6,624 year Super Cycle didnt seem that great, until we added another 276 year period. 6,624 (years for 24 courses to cycle) + 276 years (for one more course) = 6,900 years!
185
The Great 153 Code!
This looks like the heavenly fulfillment of Daniel 9:24-27s 70 weeks to me: 7 weeks + 62 weeks = 69. Now that Yshuas return cycle has shifted up to the Jubilee scale, so too do these numbers fit into units of 100. (The heavenly multiplier of the 69 weeks is 100). After the 69th week, Daniel says that Yshua returns!
186
The Great 153 Code!
So in order to get to 6,900 we literally need one more course to serve to complete the pattern, one more course than Scripture gives us. Lets look at the final (25th) course that completes the symbolic pattern. This 25th priest CANNOT be Yshua because he comes AFTER 7 and 62 weeks. So if it isnt Yshua, the question is
187
Who is the 25th Priest?
And the answer can only be one thing as the Scripture is clear
188
Grace to you and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Yshua the Mashiyach, the Witness, the Faithful, the First-born of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth; who has loved us, and released us from our sins by his blood; and has made us a Kingdom of priests to Elohim the Father: to whom be glory and power, for ever and ever. Amen. Behold, he comes with clouds; and all eyes will see him, and also they who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn on account of him. Yes: Amen. Rev 1:4-7 (AENT). So who is the 25th priest??? 189
YOU ARE!
190
The Great 153 Code! YHWH stands and waits for YOU at the end of timeHe always has! YOU are the one who is chosen and called to take the remaining steps set before you He has has made us a Kingdom of priests to Elohim the Father! Choose life and death, blessing and cursing and perhaps most importantly of all: FAITH (Truth) OR UNBELIEF (mans 191 religion)!
The Great 153 Code! But even now, the story isnt over. There is one more piece of evidence to discuss. While the Early Return scenario is powerful and compelling, recent days (I am writing about this less than a week after understanding this) have shown me additional evidence for the Later Return. Which is right I will leave for you to decide. But before doing that
192
Intermission Straight Count and Later Return in Part 7!
Straight Count and Later Return
The lack of the Proto-Jubilees in the Jubilee Count here, as we saw recently, puts us now only in the 68th Jubilee by this system, not the 70th when Yshua is supposed to return. We call this Straight Count because it continuously ticks forward from the entry into Canaan only, with each 50 years counting as an interval.
194
When I first published Wheel of Stars in 2010, it was basically an interim report for my findings up until that time. I knew there were certain things I was still researching. For example, I was not sure which of the ancient counting systems I should use for the ages of patriarchs when they had a son.
195
This ancient collection was hopelessly deadlocked. We had the Hebrew or Masoretic traditions, the Greek or Septuagint traditions, the chronology of Josephus, the Samaritan Pentateuch and othersall fundamentally in disarray with all the others! These differences were everywhere
196
For example, Adam was 130 and Seth 105 when they each had their sons in the Hebrew tradition but 230 and 205 years old respectively on the Greek side. In many other places, the Greek continued to add a century to what the Hebrew had, and others would agree or disagree inconsistently. It was basically chaos on all sides with no way to harmonize in 197 sight
To try and deal with this problem, I suggested a double witness rule. This meant that two witnesses or more had to agree on the age of a patriarch for the testimony to be accepted. After months and checking and rechecking my math, those calculations brought me to exactly 4000 BCE for the creation of Adam.
198
However, since one calendar mechanism balanced in 4000 year intervals, I began to wonder if the creation of Adam could go from the estimate of 4000 BCE to a hard date of 4007 BCE. This was because the first signs of Yshuas birth showed up in the heavens in 7 BCE, exactly 4000 years later
199
Though the idea was promising, I couldnt prove anything further on the matter and said so in Wheel openly. Both 4007 and 4000 BCE were estimates. But in 2011 I began to make progress on the matter. A very good friend proved to me that only Hebrew intervals were divinely inspired!
200
She showed me, for example, that Abraham was born according to the Hebrew 1,948 years after Adams creation and in 1948 Israel became a state. Shortly after that time, I found many other proofs showing the divine watermark on the Hebrew intervals, but there was also a catch that threatened to have me fall into a trap of many others 201 who struggled with this
The Torah had never given us the year to count time FROM, or Year Zero, and I had known for years that the traditional Rabbinic date for the creation of Adam, 3761 BCE, was incorrect. Rabbinic time was wrong! There were nearly a half a dozen other huge mistakese.g. 432 BCE for the Temples destruction, not 586 BCE, that 202 proved to be a major discrepancy.
But at least the Rabbis did preserve and agree with the intervals in the Hebrew text, and that was a very good thing! Armed also with the fixed date of the Exodus, I could count backwards or forwards in Hebrew intervals from Friday, March 22nd, 1447 BCE, and recover the entire chronology!
203
When I did that, I found that the Rabbis were short of the required amount of years by 140. This brought Adams creation year from 3761 BCE (Rabbinic) to 3901 BCE. There were also several special alignments that particular year as well that are worth noting
204
While lunar months are not used to count time until Moses, the ancients nevertheless recognized the importance of aligning lunar and solar cycles, even though there was no Tishri 1 in 3901 BCE per se. I should also point out that 6,000 years ago there was no Metonic cycle for people to use
205
The Rabbinic Calendar though, were it being used back then, would have picked March 2nd as the start of Abib, and thats way too early. As explained in Wheel of Stars, the start of Abib can only be the new moon nearest the start of spring, which means the Rabbinics are a month out of date in 3901 BCE calculations.
206
This manifests also down the line, where the Wheel calendar shows 1 Tishri for a new moon, the Rabbinic shows 1 Heshvan in 3901 BCE. That disclaimer aside, it becomes very important to align the start of this year with the Fall Equinox, just as Moses will later align it to the Spring Equinox
207
This year is also complicated by a very rare oddity: It is one of 3 times in 400 years that Julian will call for a leap day (Feb 29th) which Gregorian calls normal and leaves at 365 days. That will throw off the real day count if we dont adjust for it. Also in order to extend Gregorians accuracy for this far back, we need to 208 make a tweak in its counting
In Joshua 10, the sun stood still for almost a full day. Later, in Isaiah 38:8 the sun went backwards ten steps to show a miracle. If we take these cites literally, Abba YHWH has in effect patched our Gregorian calendar. He knows we use this system now and that it loses a day every 3,323 years.
209
That happens because the estimated Gregorian year is just a very little bit longer than the actual tropical year, and over millennia that little difference will exceed 24 hours. But with Abba YHWH in effect pausing time at strategic points and telling us so, this problem is eliminated, and we will not lose a day going back to 3901 210 BCE!
In addition, it is possible to very easily tweak our Gregorian calendar so that it will not lose a day in 19,500 yearsjust dont count the year 4000 CE as a leap year! So there is no reason not to use Gregorian to recover ancient dates--neither it nor the Julian were around in Tanakh times, so we might as well use what is most accurate. 211 But Adam was made on
FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24TH (GREGORIAN), 3901 BCE WHICH IS The exact time the Fall Equinox would have been seen in the stars The exact time of the first new moon of fall (what would later be Tishri 1) Agrees with Rabbinic legend that Adam was made on this dayRosh Hashanna or Yom Teruah!
212
FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24TH (GREGORIAN), 3901 BCE WHICH IS And is also the SIXTH day of the week, agreeing with Genesis that this is when man was created! When the sun sets on this day, it is also precisely the Shabbat! In other words, all cycles perfectly align with one another on all systems, and thats 213 a rare beauty!
But heres what all this has to do with Yshuas Second Coming If we now have the proper place to start counting from, Friday, September 24th, 3901 BCE... We can also count from there to our time and beyond. Currently in Rabbinic time, we are now in the year 5773 (as of November 2012).
214
Adding 140 years to this brings us to 5,913 years from Adams creation to November 2012. From here, remember that the Later Return adds as much as a 100 years to Yshuas returnor no later than 2145 CE. As of 1995 by this count, we entered the 68th Jubilee. 69 starts 2045 and
215
Jubilee 70, the one in which Yshua must return, would then start in 2095 and end in 2145, the very outer edge of my range. The key though is this: If November 2012 is year 5,913, we have only 87 years to go before year 6,000! Before we saw the Early Return use 6900 years to point to the 70th week (69 x 100 per generation).
216
Now it seems the math on this system is also pointing to the Millennial Rule but in days of 1,000 years each, and this is of course backed up by Scripture in two places. If each day is a time of work then the seventh and last day must be the Shabbat, a time of freedom and rejoicinga perfect time for Yshua to 217 return to us, as we see here
A Prayer of Moshe, the man of Elohim. Adonai, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are Elohim. You turn man back into dust And say, "Return, O children of men." For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day when it passes by, or as a watch in the night. (Psalm 90:1-4 NAU) 218
And of this one thing, my beloved, be not forgetful: That one day to Master YHWH, is as a thousand years; and a thousand years, as one day. (2 Peter 3:8-AENT) So from Moses to Peter, this timing of a day at 1000 years is set up firmly in Scripture. It is a second math witness bringing Scripture truth about when Yshua may decide to return!
219
And heres where plugging in the actual years brings it all together The 70th Jubilee starts in 2095, but the 6000th year from Adam starts in 2099, which crosses the 3 to 4 year period after the Jubilee begins! To me, this is huge, because I have never taken a Pre-Trib or other-Trib position! Instead, I only focused on when 220 Yshua might return. But
it is possible I may have to reconsider IF the Later Return option is the right one. Because for the Later Return ONLY, it seems that Pre-Trib math is hard encoded in the system! In other words, first the 70th Jubilee starts and then Tribulation happens immediately, with year 6000 right at the end of that time exactly!
221
If this counting is correct, then it clearly proves a Pre-Trib position for Yshuas return. But the remaining question is this: How can we know whether the Early or Later Return scenario is the correct one? At this moment, I favor the former, but I cant disprove the latter with this new evidence that strengthens it.
222
The other possibility of course is that the evidence allows these two possibilities for the simple reason that Abba YHWH wants it that way! We are not to know the exact hour of his returnbut Yshua did chide the Pharisees for not recognizing the general signs that he was coming the first time, so we may know the range if not the actual 223 year!
Like the 25th priest scenario we saw before, Abba YHWH is waiting to see what WE will do with this information coming out during the End of Days. If so, what we do now could very well tip the balance between the scenario Abba YHWH allows His Son to return on, which is why we must heed the words of Scripture
224
And Moshe said to the people, Stand still and see the salvation (yeshua/ ) of Yahweh, which He will accomplish for you todayYahweh will fight for you and you will hold your peace!
(Exodus 14:13)
225
So Let it be Written, So it Shall be Done!
