The 50th Year Jubilee, Part One
by NeorahYah Germaine Yisra'el
'And do you write down for yourself all these words which I declare unto you on this mountain, the first and the last, which shall
come to pass in all the divisions of the days in the Torah and in the testimony and in the weeks,
and the jubilees unto eternity, until I descend and tabernacle with them throughout eternity.'
~Jubilees 1:27-29~
These are the instructions concerning the Jubilees (and the significance of them), which Yahuah gave to Moses on Mount Ciynai. They are unequivocally grounded in Yahuah's heavenly calendar, and the calculation of the Weekly and Monthly Counts; upon which all timing in heaven and on earth, is based. You may've also noted that in the above scripture, Yahuah is also referring to a future event that will occur; specifically, 'The Eighth Day.' For more on that understanding, please see: The Eighth Day .
Yahuah's concept of time is based on the Rule of Six and Seven; which is always followed by the physical, and spiritual Eighth Day. It may be redundant, sometimes even boring, that the same things are repeated over and over; however this is how we all learned the basic life lessons, beginning in childhood; and we are all children of The Most High when it comes to learning this new information.
So, to review:
1. Man is given 6 days to work. The 7th Day is Set-Apart unto Yahuah.
2. Man is allotted 6000 years. The 7th Millennium is 1000 years of Shabbat rest in Yahoshua, HaMashiach.
3. Both the 6th Day, and the 6th Millennium, are Preparation 'Days' for the Shabbat Rest that follows.
4. The 8th Millennium is the period of Restoration, in which there is a new heaven, a new earth, and a
New Yerushalayim. Yahuah will place His Sukkah on earth and tabernacle among us. It follows the 7th millennium.
5. Spiritually, the 8th Day; the first 1000 years after the Creation Shabbat on the 7th Day. From the Creation, to the Deluge; from Adam,
created on the 6th Day, down to Noah, the 8th from Adam; all of the ancient ones died on the 8th Day. Noah represented
the Renewal, and Restoration of Yahuah's plan for man.
Each of the above represents man's time/activity on earth. The Rule of Six, Seven, and the Eighth Day was established to govern our interactions with Yahuah; which in the case of Adam prior to the fall, was initially meant to be direct fellowship with Yahuah (via Yahoshua); and after the expulsion from the Garden, via Yahoshua, HaMashiach. These rules are manifested in Yahuah's Heavenly Calendar; and they have not, nor will they ever, change.
Following are the fundamentals of Yahuah's biblical time clock:
Biblical Time
1/2 Hour = 50 years
1 Hour = 100 years (of an age, or 1000 years).
A 1/2 time = 6 months
A time = a year
times = 3 years
A Day = Sunset to sunset.
A Day = Sunrise to sunset = 12 hours. The Set-Apart time of the day, when the East Gate of the inner court of the Heavenly Temple is opened;
specifically on the Shabbat and on the true New Moons.
1 Day = 1 year
1 Day = 1000 years
6 Days = 6000 years, or the 6th Millennium.
7 Days = 7000 years, or the 7th Millennium.
8th Day = 8th Millennium, ad infinitum.
1 Week = 6 Days to work, + 1 Day of Shabbat Rest.
1 Week of Days = 7 days
1 Week of Years = 7 years
7 Weeks of Years = 49 years
The 50th Year = the Jubilee year.
1/2 Hour = 50 years
1 Hour = 100 years (of an age, or 1000 years).
A 1/2 time = 6 months
A time = a year

A Day = Sunset to sunset.
A Day = Sunrise to sunset = 12 hours. The Set-Apart time of the day, when the East Gate of the inner court of the Heavenly Temple is opened;
specifically on the Shabbat and on the true New Moons.
1 Day = 1 year
1 Day = 1000 years
6 Days = 6000 years, or the 6th Millennium.
7 Days = 7000 years, or the 7th Millennium.
8th Day = 8th Millennium, ad infinitum.
1 Week = 6 Days to work, + 1 Day of Shabbat Rest.
1 Week of Days = 7 days
1 Week of Years = 7 years
7 Weeks of Years = 49 years
The 50th Year = the Jubilee year.
Yahuah created the earth. He set it upon foundations so that it does not move. ~Psalms 104:5~ He enclosed the earth within a firmament. He gave us the moon for seasons, the Appointed-Times of Yahuah; and the sun as the sign for our work. ~Psalms 104:19 & 23~
He placed everything within, and beneath the firmament, to sustain all life and benefit mankind; and then he gave us complete stewardship of the world He created. All that He asked, is that every seventh year, we allow the land he gave us, one year to rest, and lie fallow. One year for the land to honor Yahuah, and hold its Shabbats; to rest from fulfilling its ordination of sustenance for us.
As descendants of Adam, we were ordained the custodians of the earth; charged with the duty of providing physical, and spiritual care of the world Yahuah placed in our hands. Although Job, Chapters 38-41 testifies of this; we forgot that the earth belongs to Yahuah.
'The earth is Yahuah's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For He hath
founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.' ~Psalms 24:1-2~
Also,
'For the earth is Yahuah's, and the fullness thereof.' ~1 Corinthians 10:26~
On the third day Yahuah created the dry land and He called it 'Earth,' and the gathered waters He called 'Seas.'
And He brought forth grass, and herb yielding seeds, and fruit trees of every kind; able to produce its kind from seeds within itself. He created all things that live on the earth, flies above it, and fills the waters; endowing it with everything necessary to sustain and prosper man's existence; and Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden, to tend and care for the things Yahuah gave us. Much later, after the fall, Yahuah gave us a law concerning the maintenance of the world he created:
'And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh in Mount Ciynai saying, Speak unto the children of Yisra'el, and say unto them,
When you are come into the land which I give unto you, then shall the land keep a Shabbat unto Yahuah. Six years you shall
sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
But in the seventh year shall be a Shabbat of rest unto the land, a Shabbat for Yahuah: you shall neither
sow your field, nor prune your vineyard. That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather
the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
And the Shabbat of the land shall be meat for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your stranger that sojourns with you,
And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
And you shall number seven Shabbathot of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space of the
seven Shabbathot of years shall be unto you forty and nine years.
Then you shall cause the shofar of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in Yom Kippuriym shall you make the shofar sound throughout all your land. And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and you shall return every man unto his possession, and you shall return every man unto his family.
A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it
of your vine undressed.
For it is the jubilee; it shall be Set-Apart unto you: you shall eat of the increase thereof out of the field.
In the year of this jubilee you shall return every man unto his possession.' ~Leviticus 25:2-13~
The above scripture is an example of the Rule of Six and Seven, and illustrates what is known as a
biblical 'Week of Years'; meaning: 1 'week' = 7 years. For six years you shall do the things ordained for man; till the soil, sow your seeds, reap your harvests. The seventh year is the Shabbat Rest for the land, and is Set-Apart unto Yahuah. It is ordained that even the land must observe its Shabbats. Each seventh year of Shabbat rest for the land, was an opportunity for Yisra'el to worship before Yahuah; being grateful for the bounty He provided.
A biblical Week of Years is no different than Yahuah's count towards the weekly Shabbat: six days being given to man for work; the seventh day is the Shabbat. This is important to understand, because the timing of all prophecy, judgement, and the 8th Day restoration is based on the relationship of six to seven.
Here is another example of the importance of understanding 'The Count', Yahuah's Calendar, and the effect His Rule of Six and Seven has throughout eternity:
'And do you write down for yourself all the words which I declare unto you on this mountain, the first
and the last, which shall come to pass in all the divisions of the days in the Torah, and in the testimony,
and in the weeks, and the jubilees unto eternity, until I descend and tabernacle with them throughout
eternity.' ~Jubilees 1: 27-29~
This count was required for forty-nine years, or seven Shabbathot:
7 Shabbats x 7 Weeks of Years = 49 years. The 49th year is the 7th Shabbat rest for the land.
The following year, is the 50th year Jubilee. The Jubilee is the basis of chronological time in Yisra'el's history.
From the creation until this present day, time is recorded in heaven, by the passage of jubilees on Yahuah's Calendar.
For example; in the Book of Jubilees, the documentation of Yahuah's interactions with mankind, e.g. birth's, deaths, judgements, etc.; are recorded as follows:
1. 'And in the third week, in the second jubilee, she gave birth to...'
2. 'In the 29th jubilee, in the first week, in the beginning thereof...'
or on occasion, an event associated with a specific heavenly observance:
3. 'In the twenty-seventh jubilee of years, in the fifth week, in the 5th year, on the New Moon of
the first month...'
He placed everything within, and beneath the firmament, to sustain all life and benefit mankind; and then he gave us complete stewardship of the world He created. All that He asked, is that every seventh year, we allow the land he gave us, one year to rest, and lie fallow. One year for the land to honor Yahuah, and hold its Shabbats; to rest from fulfilling its ordination of sustenance for us.
As descendants of Adam, we were ordained the custodians of the earth; charged with the duty of providing physical, and spiritual care of the world Yahuah placed in our hands. Although Job, Chapters 38-41 testifies of this; we forgot that the earth belongs to Yahuah.

'For the earth is Yahuah's, and the fullness thereof.' ~1 Corinthians 10:26~

And you shall number seven Shabbathot of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space of the

A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it
of your vine undressed.
For it is the jubilee; it shall be Set-Apart unto you: you shall eat of the increase thereof out of the field.
In the year of this jubilee you shall return every man unto his possession.' ~Leviticus 25:2-13~

This is important to understand, because the timing of all prophecy, judgement, and the 8th Day restoration is based on the relationship of six to seven.
Here is another example of the importance of understanding 'The Count', Yahuah's Calendar, and the effect His Rule of Six and Seven has throughout eternity:
'And do you write down for yourself all the words which I declare unto you on this mountain, the first
and the last, which shall come to pass in all the divisions of the days in the Torah, and in the testimony,
and in the weeks, and the jubilees unto eternity, until I descend and tabernacle with them throughout
eternity.' ~Jubilees 1: 27-29~
This count was required for forty-nine years, or seven Shabbathot:
7 Shabbats x 7 Weeks of Years = 49 years. The 49th year is the 7th Shabbat rest for the land.
The following year, is the 50th year Jubilee. The Jubilee is the basis of chronological time in Yisra'el's history.
From the creation until this present day, time is recorded in heaven, by the passage of jubilees on Yahuah's Calendar.
For example; in the Book of Jubilees, the documentation of Yahuah's interactions with mankind, e.g. birth's, deaths, judgements, etc.; are recorded as follows:
1. 'And in the third week, in the second jubilee, she gave birth to...'
2. 'In the 29th jubilee, in the first week, in the beginning thereof...'
or on occasion, an event associated with a specific heavenly observance:
3. 'In the twenty-seventh jubilee of years, in the fifth week, in the 5th year, on the New Moon of
the first month...'
What exactly is the Jubilee?
1. A jubilee is a time period consisting of 7 'Weeks of Years.'
1. Each 'Week of Years' has 7 years within it.
2. Each of the 7 years has 12 months.
3. Each month has 29.5 to 30 Days depending on the lunar cycle.
This is an example of how it would look:
Note: Under the 'Week of Years':
R/T the 7 'years' that fall beneath it, and the subsequent 12 months of each year - ABIB is the first month of the year to you. ~Exodus 12:1-2~
After each 50th year Jubilee, when the 12th month is complete; the 'cycle' of the Weeks of Years renews.
The 1st Week of Years will again consist of 7 years, 12 months each; progressing with each month lasting 29.5 to 30 days;
encompassing the 8th Day, and so on, and so on, ad infinitum. Again see ~Jubilees 1:27~
Each month is according to Yahuah's Heavenly Calendar; having a simultaneous Weekly and Monthly Count. You should clearly see that everything builds upon another; 'line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little'. Yah. Does. Not. Change.
Now, just for fun; let us try an exercise based on a few Scriptural Witnesses. You've probably noticed that some of the years and months in the above tables are color coded. That is so you will have a visual image of the time keeping methods spoken of in the Book of Jubilees. It is a tool to help you 'see' what the angel of the presence was referring to as he spoke to Mosheh.
Let's begin with Abraham. I've made his biblical reference GREEN.
Here is the Scripture:
'And it came to pass in the first week in the forty fourth jubilee, in the second year, that is, the year in which Abraham died, that Isaac and Ismael came from the Well of the Oath to celebrate the Feast of Shavu'ot that is the Feast of the Firstfruits of the harvest to Abraham, their father, and Abraham rejoiced because his two sons had come.' ~Jubilees 22:1~
Note: Yahuah does not specify in which of the twelve months this event occurred. It was not important for man to know; if it were,
He would've told us.
Let's try Adam. His reference is BLUE.
Here is the Scripture:
'And at the close of the nineteenth jubilee, in the seventh week in the sixth year thereof, Adam died, and all his sons buried him in the land of his creation,
and he was first to be buried in the earth. ~Jubilees 4:29~
Note: Adam died before the 20th Jubilee.
Noah is YELLOW.
'And Noah made the ark in all respects as he commanded him, in the twenty seventh jubilee of years, in the fifth week in the fifth year on the New Moon
of the first month.' ~Jubilees 5:22~
Note: Here the month is recorded; and even the day on which the ark was completed. We can see that Noah completed the ark on
the 1st Day of the Month of Abib, which is always New Moon Day!
The Nation of Yisra'el is WHITE
'And Yisra'el went into the country of Egypt, into the land of Goshen, on the New Moon of the fourth month, in the second year of the third week
of the forty fifth jubilee.' ~Jubilees 45:1~
Events, as they relate to man, are recorded in the heavenly tablets in such a manner. The scriptures testify that everything we do, whether personal, or as a nation, are documented by their jubilees in books in heaven.
There are two types of jubilee recordings:
1. Your personal jubilee(s), or the number of jubilees decreed for your lifetime; or in other words, the the number of your days.
2. The number of jubilees from the creation, as it relates to the events and chronological history of mankind, specifically Yisra'el.
For example:
The Book of Jubilees records an event as it personally relates to the lifespan of Abraham:
'And it came to pass in the first week in the forty fourth jubilee, in the second year, that is the year in which Abraham died...' ~Jubilees 22:1~
'And he lived three jubilees and four weeks of years, one hundred and seventy five years, and completed the days of his life, being old and full of days.' ~Jubilees 23:8~
Another example:
So far, Yahuah has blessed me to see, (as of November 2018 Gregorian):
One jubilee, two weeks of years, and one year, and seven months.
That is how the days decreed for my life are tallied in heaven, Yahuah willing. The documentation of your life will be different; as will everyone's tally who is descended from Adam.
The following records time in jubilees from the creation, as it relates to Adam; the first man:
'And at the close of the nineteenth jubilee, in the seventh week in the sixth year thereof, Adam died,
and all his sons buried him in the land of his creation, and he was the first to be buried in the earth.
And he lacked seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years are as one day
in the testimony of the heavens and therefore was it written concerning the tree of knowledge:
On the day that you eat thereof you shall die. For this reason he did not complete the years of this
day; for he died during it.' ~Jubilees 4:29-30~ (emphasis mine).
Aside from what Yahuah specifically prophesied, why did Adam lack 70 years specifically? After all, he could have lacked 60 years, or 5 years, or even 1 literal day, and still fulfilled the 'letter' of the prophecy.
It is my opinion that, 70 years lack was decreed because centuries later, Yahuah would assess Adam's descendants 70 years of captivity in Babylon for failure to keep His commandment for the Land Shabbat Rest; a jubilee-based Torah which I believe was originally given to Adam since he was the first to be given stewardship over the earth. I will leave that for you to ponder and decide; however, I believe there is no 'happenstance' with Yahuah.
Moving on.
The purpose of the Land Shabbat Rest was to allow the people an entire year to worship Yahuah, and be mindful that He was the Creator, and Provider of everything. As such, Yahuah did not leave them to scrounge, scrape and starve for food. He provided three years worth of food for them - all in one year.
'Wherefore you shall do my statutes, and guard my judgements, and do them; and you shall dwell in
the land in safety. And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in
safety. And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in
our increase: Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit
for three years. And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits
come in you shall eat of the old store.' ~Leviticus 25:8-22~
What Exacly is a 'Week Of Years?'
The Rule Of Seven and The Week Of Years
"The earth is Yahuah's, and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and
established it upon the floods"
~ Psalms 24:1-2, & 104: 5-34 (which says it all)~
~ 1Corinthians 10:26-28~
On the third day Yahuah created the dry land and called it 'Earth,' and the gathered waters he called 'Seas.' And he brought forth
grass and herb yielding seeds and fruit trees of every kind, able to produce its kind from seeds within its' self. He created all things
that live on the earth, flies above it, and fills the waters to remind mankind that it was indeed good. ~Genesis 1:9-13~
He gave us a law concerning the maintenance of all the things He'd created.
"Speak unto the children of Ysrayl and say unto them, when you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Shabbat unto Yahuah.
Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in the fruit thereof; But in the seventh year shall be a
Shabbat of rest unto the land, a Shabbat for Yahuah: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard. That which grows of its own accord
of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
And the Shabbat of the land shall be meat for you; for you and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant; and for
your stranger that travels with you. And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be meat."
~Leviticus 25: 2-7~
In the scriptures, this particular 6:7 ratio is known as a 'Week Of Years.'
1 week =7 years.
This is important because all prophecy, judgement, and restoration hinges on this factor.
What exactly did a Week of Years entail?
If we were blessed to have our own fields, from which we reaped the benefits and fed our families, we were allowed to sow and reap for six consecutive years.
On the seventh year we were commanded to leave the land to rest, so that it might enjoy its Shabbats. This law gave our ancestors an entire year to worship and praise Yahuah, remembering that He is the Creator of all things. However, Yah did not forget that His people needed to eat while the land was at rest.
This is how He provided for us during the Shabbat for the land:
"And if you say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold we shall not sow, nor gather-in, our increase: Then I will command My Blessing upon you in
the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year;
until her fruits come in you shall eat of the old store." ~Leviticus 25:20-22~
Yahuah then went on to explain why this law was to be kept in verse 23 of the above scripture:
"The land shall not be sold forever: for the land is mine: for you were strangers and sojourners with me.
And in all the land of your possession, you shall grant a redemption for the land." ~Leviticus 25:23~
The seventh year is a period of rest to renew the land. The land is 'restored', physically and spiritually in the eighth year.
In terms of the 6:7 ratio and the Rule Of Seven, this is how it presents in the scriptures:
1. Six years we were allowed to work the land and prepare.
2. The seventh year is a Shabbat to rest and renew the land.
3. The eighth year was a year of restoration and rebirth.
(The eighth year was a new concept to the children of Yisra'el).
Unfortunately, Yisra'el eventually transgressed this commandment, and a penalty was levied against them. Yahuah utilized the concept of a Week Of Years to determine the judgement.
The original 6:7 ratio, or preparation/ Shabbat period was established for Adam in the garden of Eden. However, when Adam transgressed and was cast out of the Garden, the heavenly clock, as it related to man, was 're-set.' A new 6:7 time ratio was established; only this time it was for Yahoshua, haMaschiach, to redeem His future bride, the Elect of Yah. We see this new module of time confirmed in Daniel 9:24. The law for the land Shabbat still existed from Adam down through Daniel, but Yisra'el had forgotten it, or chose not to honor it. Daniel was blessed to receive the revelation as to why Yisra'el was about to go into Babylonian captivity. Yahuah offered Yisra'el hope, and encouragement that their penalty was not to be forever. He gave Daniel the understanding of the Rule of 6 and 7, and prophesied of the coming of HaMashiach. This is the importance of learning to understand and count the days -as Daniel did; so that we may watch, and discern the times of Yahoshua's Second Coming. If 'The Count' was appropriate for Daniel to learn and understand, it is appropriate for us to learn and understand as well.
Yisra'el was to be in Babylonian captivity 70 years to atone for their lack of keeping the Shabbats for the land.
How did Yahuah reach 70 years as a Judgement? First you must determine how many years Yisra'el transgressed His law.
7 years = 1 Week of Years
49 years = 7 Weeks of Years
70 years = the number of years Yahuah decreed for captivity, therefore
70 x 7 (WOY's) = 490
From the Exodus out of Egypt, to the Babylonian captivity, it was 490 years that Yisra'el transgressed the law for the Land Shabbat. So Yahuah judged Yisra'el 70 years to atone for the number of years they did not allow His creation to be at rest.
~Jeremiah 25:11, and 2Chronicles 36: 16-17, & 20-21~
Here's another example of the Rule of 7 as it applies to the Week Of Years:
'For 70 Shabbats, cut off are the people from the set-apart city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to
make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint
the Set-Apart of Set-Apart.
Know therefore and understand, from the going forth of the decree to return and to build Yerushalem until HaMaschiach the Prince, is seven Shabbats and threescore and two.' ~ Daniel 9:24-25~
These are two separate prophecies utilizing the Rule Of Seven and a Week Of Years. Now calculate exactly as the scripture says.
Here is the mathematics for the above two verses:
Verse 24
The above equation applies to verse 24 perfectly; or another way to demonstrate it is:
1 score = 20 years.
3 score +10 = 70 years of captivity
Verse 25
The interim between the decree to re-build and Yahoshua, HaMashiach is:
3 score and 2 Shabbats = 62 Shabbats
62 x 7 Shabbat years = 434 years
434 years + 70 years of Babylonian captivity = 504 years until Yahoshua, HaMashiach is born.
Note: There is disagreement in scholarly circles as to when in history the decree was actually issued, and by whom. Some say it was Cyrus, King of Persia, some say Darius I, still others say Artaxerxes I: However it is generally accepted that the prophecy accurately tells of the coming of Yahoshua, HaMashiach some 500 years later.
This is simply to show the precision in the calculations of prophecy as it relates to the Rule of 6 and 7.
Another more modern example of the Rule of Seven and a Week Of Years:
'And He said unto Avram; "Know for a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them;
and they shall afflict them four hundred years."' ~Genesis 15:13~
Why 400 years?
400 x 7 = 2800 years
2800 ÷ 7 = 400
Yisra'el failed to keep 400 Land Shabbats; or IOW's, by the time of our dispersal ( in addition to other infractions), we'd transgressed this
law for 2800 years, as Yahuah prophesied.
At the time Yahuah spoke this prophecy to Abraham, our ancestors failed again and again, to keep the Land Shabbats, among other commandments. Four hundred Weeks of Years, of missed Shabbats; hence Yahuah's quantitative judgement: 400 years of captivity/slavery. To drive the point home, Yah stated:
"I, Yah, will chastise you seven times for your sins...I will scatter you among the heathen,...and your land shall be desolate,
and your cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her Shabbats, as long as it lieth desolate, and you be in your enemies' land;
even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her Shabbats. As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your Shabbats,
when you dwelt upon it." ~Leviticus 26:28, and 33-35~
It was, and remains, a righteous judgement. We need to confess that we have behaved crookedly towards Yahuah; and the sooner, the better.
This is a perfect example of who the true Chosen People are, and who the imposters are not. Does the region of Israel today appear to be the land described to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, or Moses in Exodus 3:17, or meet the conditions of Isaiah 41:19; in which Yahuah described how He will restore to the land, when His people are returned there? Are there diverse trees naturally growing side-by-side in Israel? In spite of what the world has been led to believe, Yahuah's true Chosen Ones, have not yet been regathered and returned, by super-natural means to the Promised land. The imposters inhabiting the land today, are there via the Balfour treaty, not by a glorious act of Yahuah, as promised in verse 20:
'That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of Yahuah has done this,
and the Set-Apart One of Yisra'el has created it.'
Not through the actions of a group of men making a political decision that will cause strife and turmoil for years to come. Notice that the unrest is occurring while the Hidden Ones fulfill their prophesied 400 year captivity. When they are returned, then the land will be restored; for the land
will be happy to receive them:
'The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly,
and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Karmel and Sharon, they shall see the
glory of Yahuah, and the excellency of our Mighty One.
...for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land
springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.' ~Isaiah 35:6-7~
The last I checked, none of this has occurred yet. If it had, it would've been broadcasted on all of the major news stations. However, draw your own conclusions. We shall see what Yahuah does when the 400 year sojourn in a foreign land is complete.
For now, let us move on.
In the Apocryphal Books of Adam and Eve, (BOAE), the story is told that after he was expelled, Adam became despondent and remorseful. He longed to return to the Garden Of Eden; fasting and praying continuously, in the hopes that Yahuah would allow him re-entry. Yahuah could not allow this, however He did have compassion on Adam. Yahuah made the first covenant with Adam, and promised him this:
"I have ordained days and years on this earth, and you and your descendants shall live and walk in them until the days and years are fulfilled.
Then I shall send the Word that created you, and against which you have transgressed. The Word that made you come out of the Garden
and that raised you when you were fallen. Yes, this is the Word that will again save you when the five and a half days are fulfilled..."
Then Yahuah in His mercy for Adam, who was made after His Image and Likeness, explained to him that the five and a half days
were 5000 and 500 years, and how (the) One would then come and save him and his descendants.' ~BOAE 3:1-2 & 6~
This along with the calculation of 504 years until haMaschiach came, spoken of in Daniel, suggests the approximate age of the earth at the time of Yahoshua's first coming. In the BOAE, Yah judged Adam 5500 years until his redemption. This is important because if the age of the earth, from its creation until Yahoshua came was 5500 years, then we should be able to calculate approximately where we are in relation to End Time prophecy and the sixth millennium.
Based on the 6:7 ratio, and the Rule of Seven and the Week Of Years, we should be able to get an idea of how long before our Redemption comes. How far are we along Yahuah's Restorative module of time? Are we nearing the end of the Preparation phase of the sixth day? For that matter, are we even in the sixth millennium?
For more on that, please refer to The Rule of Six and Seven .
The 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Year of Leviticus 25:18-22
'Wherefore you shall do my statutes, and guard my judgements, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. And if you shall say, what shall we eat the
seventh year? behold we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year,
and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of the old fruit until the ninth year;
until her fruits come in shall you eat of the old store'.

Jubilee # 45
('Week' of Years 1-6 completed)
7th 'Week' of Years:
(Years 1-5 completed)
Yearly Activity
6th Year Triple the bounty of both the Winter and Spring wheat, and fruit; enough for
3 years. This is year #1 of Yahuah's 3 year blessing. All of the Mo'edim, and
Offerings were observed at their appointed times.
_________________________________________________________________
7th Year Land shabbat Rest
No sowing or reaping of either the Winter or Spring Wheat, or fruit.
This is year #2 of Yahuah's 3 year blessing.
Yisra'el ate of the old grain from the 6th year harvests. First Fruits, and the
Wave Sheaf Offering were not done, since the requirement for them, is that
the grain offered must be new grain. First Fruits and the Wave Sheaf Offering
are not one of the three required Mo'edim of Yahuah.
Total = 49 Years!

Jubilee # 46 (It is also the Spiritual 8th year)
1st 'Week' of Years
1st year (x12 Months):
In Leviticus 25:22, the '8th Year' mentioned is simply a continuation. It is the first year, of the
first Week, of a new Jubilee.
8th Year Again, First Fruits, and the Wave Sheaf Offering were not observed; neither could
a new grain offering been brought before Yahuah for Shavu'ot; although the
requirement for the burnt offering may've been met. During this year,
Yisra'el continued to eat of the old grain provided by Yahuah in the 6th year; as
there wasn't any new grain harvested as yet.
It is not until the late summer/early fall, that they begin to sow the Winter Wheat
for the following year's spring harvest.
This is year #3 of Yahuah's 3 year blessing.
___________________________________________________________________
9th Year The Winter Wheat sown the previous fall is now ready to be harvested around the
time of the Pesach. The Wave Sheaf and First Fruits Offering is performed with the
barley harvest, as this is the first of the winter harvest. Although Yisra'el may finally
eat of this grain, it is still considered old grain (having been planted the previous year),
and is not suitable for the upcoming Feast of Shavu'ot, in the 5th Month, which requires new
grain.
The Spring Wheat is planted around the Pesach, and is harvested approximately four
to five months later, in the late summer or early fall; in synch with the correct
timing of the Feast of Shavu'ot. This is the Second Wheat harvest. A Wave Sheaf and
First Fruits Offering is made at this time, since this harvest is the first harvest of new grain,
thereby making it appropriate to offer up to Yahuah, on the Feast of Shavu'ot, on the
2nd Day of the 5th Month, the 1st Day of the Weekly Shabbatical Count.
For further understanding, refer also to The First Fruits Offering and The Wave Sheaf
and Shavu'ot, The Feast Of Weeks, specifically the section on 'the two harvests.'

Once again, Yahuah's Rule of 6, 7, and 8 is revealed through Scripture:
The 6th Year - Six years were given to Yisra'el to work, to till, sow, and reap the land.
The 7th Year - The Land Rest for the Shabbat. The land must observe its Shabbats; and consequences were
spelled out if it did not:
'And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished
at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land
shall be desolate, and your cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her Shabbathot, as long as it lies
desolate, and you be in your enemies land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her Shabbathot.
As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your Shabbathot, when you dwelt
upon it.' ~Leviticus 26:32-35~
The 8th Year - Is essentially the 50th year, known also as the Jubilee year; in which debts are released, slaves are freed, and every man is returned to his family, and to his possession, as Torah requires; or it can be the year following the 7th year Land Shabbat. It is considered the 8th year because it follows a set of seven years. In either circumstance, it marks the beginning of a new era, or a new Week of Years; a Restoration and Renewal, as in the Eighth Day; see The Eighth Day.
The 9th Year - Applies only to the 7 cycles of the Week of Years. It is the second year of man's allotted six years to sow, reap, and work the land.
The cycle of Yahuah's jubilees is unchanging; established to exist forever. However, as they relate to man's perspective, the cycle can be interrupted or delayed; depending on man's behavior. Not so with Yahuah's perspective. Whether we are aware of it or not, time marches inevitably onward. Our days and actions are recorded by the continuing jubilees, in the books of heaven.

So, What Jubilee Is It Now?
Let me just say, that it is my opinion that it is possible to calculate an estimate of what Jubilee we are in at the time of this article. However, based on what I've learned regarding The Count and Prophecy; and what I've researched regarding the various captivities and restorations, it would be premature of me to make a statement on that topic at this time. One thing I will not do, is comment on things I've received no clear understanding on. As of 2018, the topics on this website are the result of four years of study and research. On those topics I comprehend fully what I've stated thus far. What is contained herein is just the tip of the iceberg; IOW's, this is just the basics. There is so much more Yahuah wants to reveal to us. If we study to show ourselves approved, it will be given here a little, there a little.
I firmly believe that it is with committed study of Yahuah's Word, and prayer, that the mysteries within His Word are revealed via the Ruach HaQodesh.
In short, re: what jubilee we are in right now, I have a lot more studying and praying to do. Yahuah willing, in due time, it may be revealed to me - if it is meant for me to have.
Perhaps it is meant for you. To that I say HalleluYah! Feel free to submit your well researched paper. It will be cited, and published on this website, so that we can all learn and study.
For now, know that these are the End Times, and Yahoshua is 'at the door.' In the meantime, look forward to 'The 50th Year Jubilee Part 2,' hopefully, in the near future.
In summary we cannot know the time of HaMashiach's coming. We can be vigilant however, and watch and wait.
Yahuah gave us His Count, and an understanding of the 6th, 7th, and 8th Days.
Yahoshua gave us the parable of the fig tree:
'When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh. So likewise you, when you shall see all these things,
know that it is near, even at the doors.' ~Matt 24:32-34~
Yahoshua further warned us with:
'Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your HaMashiach comes.'
~ Matt 24:42~
May Yahuah Bless you with Wisdom and Understanding.
~NeorahYah Yisra'el~
