Some may not realise it, but the Biblical Jubilee pictures the coming reign of Christ, when men are set free from Satan’s bondage. It’s introduced in Leviticus, with various instructions about keeping it. Eg. Lev 25:10.
God’s true Jubilee count occurs every 49 years, see Lev 25:8, not every 50 years, as I and many others have thought in the past.
Each count is a total of 7 times 7, which comes to 49. The fiftieth year occurs on the first year of the NEXT 49 year count.
It’s like saying Sunday is on the eighth day of a 7 day week, but we still count weeks consecutively in 7’s.
Jubilee Years & Daniel’s Prophecy
Besides being a prophecy about the coming of the Messiah, Daniel 9:25 may, or may not, allude to a second rebuilding of Jerusalem. The details of that prophecy are not clear, but on the 60th Jubilee of the crossing of the Jordan in 1406 BC there was a second decree to rebuild Jerusalem. Daniel 9:25 may actually mean 70 Jubilee periods instead of 70 weeks.
I got that concept from this link (even though a lot of that authors other ideas such as a rapture are NOT correct!)
Multiply 49 (the length of a Jubilee period) by 60 and add it to 1406 BC when Israel crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. Also SUBTRACT 1 to account for no year 0.
(The 1406 BC Jordan crossing Jubilee is found in these two offsite links: The Apocryphon of Joshua, Fragment 12 and The Israelites cross the River Jordan – The Bible Journey)
The rebuilding calculation comes to 1536 AD, but may also be 1537 AD, to be the year that rebuilding the walls started. Because a new Jubilee year starts in September or October, if it was after the new year in 1536, then we do have a perfect match for 1537.
That prophecy was fulfilled by “Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent!” who was the ruler of the Ottoman empire at that time.
The command was given in 1535 AD.
Ref. #1 wikipedia date reference here. Was it given before or after October, and does the command matter, or is it the years for building that matter?
Ref. #2 The second building of the wall by Suleiman is mentioned in this video which shows the actual inscription commemorating the rebuilding date, which he places at 1538, but, as above, it seems the command to rebuild was actually given in 1535.
(The relevant part of the video goes between the 2 1/2 minute mark to the 3 1/2 minute mark.)
The fact that there is an exact match in history for a second command to rebuild Jerusalem and it’s walls, in (it looks like) one of Daniel’s prophecies, strongly indicates that the “2 again” in verse 25 of Daniel 9 in the Interlinear, may actually mean to do a second calculation from the second building of the wall. (Examples of Strong’s wordH8147 being used to mean double are in Ex 22:4,7,9 and 2Kings 2:9.)
The prophecy may involve counting a second set of 490 years from the 60th Jubilee rebuilding date. Because we got an exact Jubilee match at 1537, we need to count another 490 years to 2027. The Jubilee comes the following year, after the consecutive 49 year counts.
1537 + 490 = 2027 + 1 = 2028
So is the 2028end website prediction correct?
Anther Prophecy – Babylon’s Punishment
In Jeremiah 25:12 it says Babylon is to be punished after 70 years, and without reading carefully, it would be natural to link this to the previous verse, in Jer 25:11,
However, this is a dual prophecy, and the second part refers to Mystery Babylon (see Rev 17:5). The word ‘years‘ in Jer 25:12 simply means a division of time, not always single years. Often the division of time is in years, but the division of time in Jer 25:12 is referencing Jubilee divisions of time!
How do I know?
The land was prophecied to be an everlasting waste. And so it is today, although Hillah, in Iraq, is a modern city of half a million people only 11 kilometres away.
The remainder of chapter 25 describes the Lord’s anger with all the nations of the earth. Jer 25:29 and Jer 25:30, 31 says the wicked in all nations will be punished.
Most translations of Jer 25:34 say the shepherds (priests and ministers who prophecy good things to unrepentant people) will roll in ashes, which is descriptive of nuclear war (see previous post explaining this.)
The timing of the ’70 years’ also matches the Daniel 9 prophecy. Let’s calculate when this ‘Mystery Babylon’ is to be punished, using 70 Jubilee divisions of time (usually translated as 70 years).
After 70 Jubilee Years
Jubilee years are counted starting from when Israel entered the promised land, crossing the Jordan in 1406 BC. Lev 25:1-12. (Again, you can get proof of this date elsewhere.) Which year does counting forward seventy 49 year blocks (as per Jer 25:12) from 1406 BC take us to?
70 x 49 = 3430 years. We must remember to subtract 1 to compensate for there being no year zero. Then I’m adding 1, because the Jubilee itself occurs on years following 49, so we arrive back at adding 3430 to negative 1406 (BC).
Answer: Counting this way, from start to finish, ends in the year 2024 or 2025 AD.
Six places in Revelation refer to the end time Babylon in symbolic terms, eg. Rev 17:5, & Rev 18:21. This mystery Babylon can primarily be identified as the USA, although, it may also be a well known church! A number of books on this subject provide more details, claiming it’s the USA. The USA is a rich nation. Read Rev 18:11-13. Merchants trade with Babylon by ships. Read Rev 18:17,19. There’s more, but that’s also going down a rabbit trail, so I won’t get into it.
Suffice it to say, when the Bible prophesies about the fall of Babylon in the last days, it’s not really referring to the nation of Iraq. Mystery Babylon may be the USA, or it may include the whole world and it’s political and religious systems that go into tribulation.
The time frame fits into Isa 61:2 which indicates God’s vengeance comes at this Jubilee time period right after Isa 61:1.
Jesus quoted the first half of this in Luke 4:16-20, but he stopped half way through verse 2 before reading ‘the day of vengeance.’
Also, notice Isaiah 61:3 follows immediately after Isa 61:2, and it talks about beauty for ashes. Do the ashes come from a nuclear war?
Both Prophecies, and a Spiritual Entrance
Jubilee years started with a physical entrance into the promised land.
70 Jubilees later brings us to the final period of the Jubilee count, and perhaps when all the 49 year counts are complete (after 7x7x70), we may make a spiritual entrance into our promised land. (Go here for more multiplying by 7 examples.)
Seventy and multiples of seven show the perfection and completeness of God’s timing. If we were to use 50’s to multiply by, then seventy Jubilees would not end soon, but the end would have to come much too far into the future. Because there are so many other indications that show we are at the end of this age, it validates the timing.
I still have more details to clarify. But Revelation 10:7, ‘when the mystery of God should be finished,‘ surely includes the punishment of Mystery Babylon and Jesus’ return very soon.
If you’ve followed me through all this, you may be wondering how there can be two different end dates, both based on the Jubilee counting method.
They may both be correct! One for Babylon’s punishment, and one for Christ’s return.
Matt 24:44 says to be ready… Jesus indicated that the time of his coming would be close to a time of nuclear war, which is an extinction event!
Luke 21:26 is also an end time Scripture.
My guestimate – and it’s only a guess, is that in April 2025 the two witnesses may begin a three and a half year countdown (Rev 11:3), and then, September 2028 is a possible date for Christ to return… This is only a guess that I’m making now, months away. It could come and go, with nothing happening. — On the other hand, the timing shows we are somewhere close to the verge of fulfillment for all end time Bible prophecies, and perhaps they may be fulfilled sooner than we think!
