Has God ordained a 70 jubilees from
the year Israelis entered the promised land? And if
He did, is there a relationship between 70 jubilees
and Daniel's 490 years prophecy? Below is what I
have written a year ago.
The origin of Daniel's 490 years
prophecy
Jeremiah 34 is a prophecy against
Zedekiah. His cities would be forsaken by King
Nebuchadnezzar, and he would die in peace.
After Zedekiah heard his destiny, he
proclaimed liberty unto his people. But later on he
regretted what he has done, and caused the servants
and the handmaids, and brought them into subjection.
This prompted God's words on Zedekiah
again.
12 Therefore the word of the LORD came
to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 13 Thus saith the
LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your
fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of
the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen,
saying, 14 At the end of seven years let ye go every
man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto
thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou
shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers
hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
15 And ye were now turned, and had
done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every
man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant
before me in the house which is called by my name:
16 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused
every man his servant, and every man his handmaid,
whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to
return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto
you for servants and for handmaids.
17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye
have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty,
every one to his brother, and every man to his
neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you,
saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and
to the famine; and I will make you to be removed
into all the kingdoms of the earth.
My focus is verse 14.
14 At the end of seven years let ye go
every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been
sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six
years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but
your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined
their ear.
This is a repetition of the Law in
Exodus 21:2 and Deuteronomy 15:12. Every six years
they serve them, they have to let their Hebrew
brother go free for one year. Immediately I thought
of 70 jubilees and Daniel 70 weeks prophecy.
If God does ordain a 70 jubilees on
His people Israel, this may answer the origin of 70
weeks prophecy.
70 jubilees = 70 X 49 years = 3430
years.
During these 3430 years, for every 6
years, they need to let their Hebrew brother go free
for 1 year.
3430 divided by 7 = 490 years
During these 3430 years, there should
have been 490 years of proclaiming liberty to their
brothers. But their forefathers did not hearken to
God's words, even this generation. For these 490
years they did not hearken to God, God transforms
them into 70 weeks prophecy, in order to finish
their transgression, to make an end of sins, to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in
everlasting righteousness, to seal up prophecy, and
to anoint the most Holy.
Or we can look at it this way. For
these 490 years they did not hearken to God's word,
God has numbered the dynasty of Israel for 490
years, beginning from David's reign in Jerusalem ,
up to 2022 AD when God releases the 7 years
tribulation to purge and refine Israelis. Below is
the calculation.
King David began his reign in 1009 BC.
He ruled in Hebron for 7 years, and then ruled in
Jerusalem for 33 years. The year he moved to
Jerusalem was 1002 BC (1009 BC minus 7 years).
From 1002 BC David established Israel
dynasty in Jerusalem to destruction of Judah in the
summer of 586 BC, there were 416 years (1002 BC
minus 586 BC ). If God does number Israel dynasty
for 490 years, there is a remaining of 74 years left
in modern day Israel (490 years minus 416 years).
Adding 74 years to rebirth of Israel in 1948, we
come to 2022 as the last year of Israel
dynasty. God's patience runs out with Israel in
2022, and He shall unleash the 7 years tribulation
to purge and refine Israel. The ultimate goal is to
bring them to Jesus. and anoint the most Holy.
