Biblical Reason No 5
The Jubilee Calendar
No one can prove
something that has not happened.
Neither does God ask us to believe
something without first giving us
substantial evidence upon which to
build our faith.
Although it has been
given a name by men as the
“Jubilee Calendar,” this
title can be a little misleading. If
you needed to call it by a title that
would actually define what it really
is, you would refer to it as
“God’s Clock.” God
does not operate by man’s
calendar, but by a set of clocks that
He designed with a specific purpose.
We know that He is deliberate and
purposeful in everything He does. He
designed the synchrony of his clocks
to serve this planet for as long as
it lasts and until sin is eliminated.
When He created the
world He foreknew the duration of
every event and created the
phenomenon we call time so that we
can measure every event. Time on
Earth is measured in several ways. He
has given us some prophetic
time-periods that last centuries and
some only last a few days. But, He
has given us the Bible so that we may
know His way of measuring time.
This method of time
keeping was given to Israel for two
wonderful reasons. First, God made
Israel His time keepers for mankind.
They were the only people to receive
the perpetual responsibility of
marking the passage of time as God
sees time. And to prevent Israel
from guessing at time, God
synchronized His eternal clock on two
occasions.
(Exodus 12:2, 16:26)
Dates in secular
history, as well as Biblical history,
all prove the synchrony of God’s
clocks. An example is Daniel 9, which
proves that all of God’s actions
happen right on time. The date of the
Exodus, the date of the crucifixion,
the date of the decree to rebuild the
temple, and many, many other dates,
synchronize with God’s calendar.
God’s unique
method of time keeping “the
Jubilee Calendar”
has enabled us to know exactly where
we are in the “string of
time” and show us which
prophecies are interpreted as a
“day-for-a-year” and which
are literal time.
A study of this
calendar reveals that God’s
patience with sin has a limit of 70
Jubilee cycles. This cycle ended in
1994 when the seven angels were given
the seven trumpets and told to
“wait” until God has sealed
His 144,000 servants the prophets.
Consider this: Every
time man fails, God increases the
next probationary period of time:
1) God tested Israel
on the observance of the Seventh Day.
(Exodus 16:4)
2) God tested Israel
for 40 days resulting in 40 years of
captivity in the wilderness.
3) God tested Israel
for 70 Sabbatical years resulting in
70 years of captivity in Babylon.
4) God tested Israel
for 70 weeks resulting in His final
rejection of Israel.
Years granted to the
Jews = 30 complete Jubilee cycles
(1437 B.C. – 33 A.D.= 1,470
years)
Years granted to the
Gentiles = 40 complete Jubilee cycles
(A.D. 34 – 1994 = 1,960 years)
Total years granted to
Jews and Gentiles = 70 complete
Jubilee cycles (ended 1994)
Years allotted for the
duration of sin appears to be 70
centuries (7,000 years), the seventh
millennium being “seventh
millennium of rest.”
Reason number 5
leaves us with Conclusion
number 5:
Because God
pre-ordained 70 Jubilee cycles for
the earth, the end of that
probationary period is 1994. At any
moment, Jesus will begin revealing
His plan of Salvation and send His
redemptive judgments to Earth.
Perhaps God is currently selecting
His 144,000 servants the prophets.
